Eternal Love: A Love Story

Chapter 744 - The Curse (19)

When Ji Cheng stepped inside the trial room, his eyes widened in shock to see Zhao Ming who was standing in the corner with her back facing him. She was wearing a short black colored off-shoulder dress that was revealing her fair smooth legs.

The zipper of the dress was undone, revealing her pale back to him. He gulped and looked around realizing that they were in the store and hearing the steps of someone who was walking towards the trial room next to their cubicle, he immediately closed the door behind him, afraid that someone might see her standing like this.

However, upon closing the door, the small cubicle became even more cramped, forcing him to step closer to her. She had her hair pulled in front, revealing her smooth back to him.

His ears turned crimson seeing her wearing such a short dress and turned his gaze away from her. Seeing her standing in front of him like this, he was reminded of her appearance in the morning when she had kicked the blanket off her, and her dress was raised higher revealing her fair legs to him.

Seeing her lying there like this, he was reminded of their first night together when she had prepared everything and seductively removed his clothes making his willpower go weak.

He cleared his throat upon remembering the bold actions that made him fall for her even more. However, since he had found out the truth, he was skeptical of whether what happened between them was even real or not.

Zhao Ming whose back was facing him was waiting for the woman staff to zip her dress but got startled upon hearing the male voice and immediately turned around only to find Ji Cheng who was standing behind him.

" AHHH- She got startled to see him standing behind her and screamed out of reflex, feeling embarrassed of him staring at her like this.

Ji Cheng pursed his lips and looked at her embarrassedly but got startled when she suddenly started screaming. His eyes widened in shock and looked around before stepping closer and placed his hand over her mouth to stop her from shouting.

" Shh...why are you shouting like this?" he asked while putting pressure on his hand that was on her mouth.

" Umm..mm." She shook her head and struggled to say.

" Why aren't you saying anything?" he asked, looking at her in confusion.

"..."

She pursed her lips and licked his palm, making his pupil go wide at her wild actions. He immediately removed his hand from her mouth and looked at her in horror, wondering how she could do that.

" What are you doing?" He asked while looking at her in shock.

She pursed her lips seeing his exaggerated expressions and blinked before saying, " Ahem, How can I speak with you covering my mouth? I was just trying to make you remove your hand off my mouth."

" But how come you're here? Didn't you ask someone from the staff to come and check on me?" She asked in confusion.

His brows raised in surprise when he saw how much her skin was showing in the dress, causing him to turn away his gaze off her. He cleared his throat again and said awkwardly, " Well, the woman who attended us earlier was busy so I couldn't ask her to come and check on you. Since you were asking for help, I had no choice but to come inside."

Zhao Ming pursed her lips and smiled seeing him avoid looking at her as if she was standing naked in front of her. Well, he used to look at her shamelessly before but now he was acting shy and was looking away from her.

'Tsk, Tsk. Even the Emperor of the Ji Dynasty cannot digest my charm.' she smirked and turned around, facing her back to him.

" If you're here, then help me zipping this dress up. I can't reach out to it." She said, removing her hair from the back and pulled them forward revealing her fair back to him.

Ji Cheng pursed his lips and looked at her back nervously. He hesitated before holding her zip and tried to pull it up, however in the process, his fingers mistakenly touched her skin causing her to shudder at his cold touch.

Seeing him shuddering like this, he bit his lower lip and let out a breath before pulling the zipper up.

" Done." He said and removed her hands right away.

Zhao Ming turned around and noticed him standing there awkwardly. The cubicle was small and since both of them were standing there, it felt even more cramped, causing her to stand closer to him.

" Ahem, so...how is this dress? Does this look good on me? Is this too long?" She turned to the side and looked in the mirror and asked him while fixing the strap around her shoulders, revealing her milky white shoulders.

His eyes widened seeing her actions and said, " What...what are you doing?" He held onto her wrist to stop her from pulling her strap even more. It was an off-shoulder dress but she was fixing it to let her shoulder line be revealed.

" From which angle does this look long? It's not even covering your skin. I can't understand why people wear such clothes in this world? What's the reason to wear the clothes if they can't cover your skin?" he said, not believing how can people think of wearing something like this and go outside.

"..."

She chuckled seeing him nagging and said, " Mr. Emperor, someone as old as you won't understand what is the fashion? Clothes are not only to be worn to cover the skin but they are treated as an art as well. The art of wearing clothes is fashion, and this is the latest trend these days. Isn't it pretty?" She said while looking at her reflection in the mirror.

'Old? How am I old? How can she call me old?' Ji Cheng was shocked when she called him old.

Ji Cheng sighed and looked at the number of bags that he was holding. The Emperor of Ji Dynasty was walking around the mall and holding the shopping bags that she keeps adding.

" Ah, Ji Cheng, let's go there. I need to buy lingerie for myself. I can't possibly use my old underwear. It doesn't even fit me well anymore." She said when she saw the lingerie store in front.

Ji Cheng's eyes widened seeing the shop of women's underwear. " How dare you? You want the Emp...me to go inside that kind of shop?" he asked with his ears turning red of embarrassment.

She blinked and shook her head helplessly. " Ah, I am sorry. I forgot that you have Emperor syndrome. Forget it. I will buy it later myself. For now, let's go to the restaurant and eat something. I am hungry." she said and turned around and walked towards the restaurant on the floor.

However, she paused in her steps when she saw the familiar figure walking inside the restaurant in front of her.
