Eternal Love: A Love Story

Chapter 537 - Come And Scrub My Back.

In the evening, Zhao Ming was laying on the bed and was thinking about Shen Jia's words and she didn't even realize when she fell asleep.

However, while sleeping she saw something in her dream which made her tremble in fear.

A girl was wearing traditional clothes and was standing in the middle of the battlefield. Blood was everywhere and the whole scene was so cruel and hard to watch.

She could see hundreds of dead bodies around her.

The girl was wailing uncontrollably while looking at someone's body covered in blood.

While seeing the girl crying, Zhao Ming felt a piercing pain in her heart, and tears continued to fall from her eyes.

She was trying to see the man's face but it was unrecognizable because of the blood.

…

" Zhao Ming."

Ji Cheng who just came from his study was stunned when he heard her sobbing as he entered the room.

He hurriedly went to her and saw that she was covered in sweat and was sobbing uncontrollably while tears were flowing from her eyes.

She was trembling and was clutching the bed sheets tightly in her hand.

" Zhao Ming, wake up. Zhao Ming " he tried to wake her up.

" Ah?" Her eyelashes fluttered as she slowly opened her heavy lid eyes. She pursed her lips and looked at him with unexplainable emotions in her heart.

Her eyes were welled up with tears as she stared at him and started sobbing again.

" What happened? Why are you crying so much?" He grew worried seeing her crying so vulnerably.

After a while when she calmed down, she sat up while he hugged her in his arms.

" Now will you tell me what happened?" he asked in a low voice while he wiped her tears away with his sleeve.

She pursed her lips and replied, " I..think I had a bad dream. But it was so sad that I couldn't control myself from crying." She said in a low voice.

He patted her back and asked, " What did you see in that dream?"

She didn't say anything and just hugged him tighter. He pursed his lips seeing her acting like this.

He understood that she didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't force her.

...

After having their dinner, Ji Cheng was taking a bath while Zhao Ming was having her dessert.

" Zhao Ming."

She turned around and looked towards the bathroom from where he was shouting her name.

" Why?" She shouted back as she was not sure why he was calling her from the bathroom.

" Zhao Ming." She heard him calling her again.

She pursed her lips and got up and walked towards the bathroom. She stood outside and shouted," Why? Why are you keep calling me?"

" Because I missed you."

"-_-"

Zhao Ming suddenly felt like hundreds of cockroaches were crawling over her body.

His words were that cheesy.

" What's wrong with this guy?"

She tried to ignore his words and decided to go back to bed when he called her again.

"Zhao Ming"

" WHY?" She shouted in anger while still trying to maintain her royal image.

It's so hard to control your anger and curses just to maintain your so-called image.

" Come and scrub my back."

"-_-"

Her face suddenly turned red, don't know in anger or embarrassment.

" Wh..why would I scrub your back? Just take a quick bath and come out."

He was soaking his body in the bathtub and grinned when he heard her words.

" Do you really want me to come quickly?" He asked meaningfully.

" Yes. Come fast. I need to take a bath as well." She said without thinking much.

Just as she turned around to go to the bed, the door of the bathroom opened and she was pulled inside.

She squealed in surprise when he suddenly pulled her in the bathroom.

He closed the door behind her and pushed her against the door.

He placed his one hand on the door near her face and the other was holding her waist.

"-_-"

Zhao Ming's mouth was opened in shock as she stared at his extremely handsome face.

His hair was wet and he looked extremely sexy while being half-naked. She looked at him in awe.

Her wandering eyes stopped at his lower half which was covered with a thin silk cloth.

It was soaked in water and she could see his hard-muscled legs.

Her eyes tried to look at a certain part of his body, but he placed his finger on her chin and forced her to look upward to his face.

"-_-"

' Why is he acting like I am being a pervert here? Wasn't I the one who was pulled in the bathroom?'

Ji Cheng looked at her eyes which were dazed and said while grinning, " Seems like my Empress missed me more than I did."

She swallowed hard as she felt his finger caressing her face sensually.

' Is he seducing me?' she pursed her lips seeing the look in his eyes.

' If yes, then he is damn good at this.'

She took a deep breath and stopped ignoring his gaze. She looked directly into his eyes and smiled.

Her seductive smile caught him off for a moment.

" You're right. I missed you more than you did. After all, you were busy managing your other consorts." She said provocatively.

His smile faded away when he heard her words.

He panicked thinking that she was angry and tried to explain, " I am..not. I wasn't busy with anyone.."

" Ssh" placed a finger on his lips and suddenly held his arm and changed their positions.

"-_-"

Ji Cheng was surprised when she suddenly changed their positions and now his back was against the door while she placed her hand on the door near his face.

" So Mr. Emperor, how does it feel to be pressed against the door by me?" She winked while she looked at him.
