ETERNAL LOVE : A LOVE STORY Chapter 326 - Holding Hands.

Zhao Ming put on the makeup she has made herself and wore the jewelry Ji Cheng has sent for her. 

In the last, she wore the light pink colored lipstick which gave her a delicate and innocent look. With her hair half-open, she was looking delicate and fresh.

The light makeup on her face was enhancing her beauty and making her look more gorgeous.

No one in this world can beat her in terms of looks. She has fair and smooth skin and a breathtaking figure. Even though her curves were all hidden behind these large gowns but with her fas.h.i.+on sense, she can still do better. 

Xiao Li can pretend to look innocent and weak but she cannot compare to her in terms of beauty. She is not only naturally beautiful but she has the biggest weapon because of which she will always be in privilege.

It's makeup. She knows how to utilize the natural items and use them to make her skin more beautiful and healthy. Also, she can make other makeup items from natural items which will give her instant effect.

This knowledge, Xiao Li doesn't have. So of course, she will always be in privilege because of this.

Even though she has gifted many things to others but there are a few items that she hadn't given to anyone. 

As she was checking herself out in the mirror and was appreciating her work, she heard the voice of the guard from outside. 

" Her highness, his Majesty has arrived." the guard said in a plain voice as he announced from outside. 

Zhao Ming pursed her lips in nervousness when she heard this announcement. Her heart started beating crazily. 

Lu s.h.i.+ who was arranging her bed was also surprised when she heard this announcement. 

She looked at Zhao Ming with a bright smile on her face and said, " Miss, you should hurry and go. His highness has arrived. It's not good to make him wait outside." she rubbed her hands together and urged her to hurry.

Zhao Ming sighed seeing Lu s.h.i.+ so excited. She seems to be more excited than her. 

Zhao Ming looked at the mirror for the last time and straightened her dress as she took a deep breath. 

She flipped her hair at the back and fixed her jewelry. 

Ji Cheng was standing in the garden waiting for her. He had gotten ready and was waiting for her to come down and so that they could go to the palace together.

The feast was gonna be held in the dining area of the palace. He could have gone directly to the feast as his chamber is also in the palace.

But he came to her chamber to pick her up so that they can go together. Wen Xu is not there and has gone to meet her friend and it would take a few days for her to come back.

Now she is not in the palace, but they should hold a feast for Wen Ru because he came after so long and has completed his trip to another country as well.

That's why they didn't wait for Wen Xu and decided to do the feast together.

Ji Cheng looked around the garden and his back was facing the entrance of the Chamber. His both hands were behind his back as he was roaming in the garden with his domineering aura.

When he heard the sound of the door opening, he turned around and saw a silhouette appearing from the door. 

When the door slowly opened he could see Zhao Ming standing behind the gate. 

His eyes were fixated on her as he held his breath. He could see how beautiful she was looking and her face was glowing under this darkness.

When the door fully opened and he could see her, he didn't know what to do. He just pursed his lips as he stared at her. 

Her hair was half-open as she was using a hairpin to tie them at back because of a palace rule that she can't leave her hair open.

She has to use a hairpin because of this reason even though she does not want to use it. The hairpin was beautiful and some artistic carving was made over it.

She was wearing a beautiful gown and the jewelry he sent for her. A smile appeared on his lips as he stared at her. 

' Beautiful.' this word keeps ringing in his ears seeing her standing before him like this. 

His lips parted in awe when he saw her. Even though it was dark and the sun had set, she was s.h.i.+ning like a star on this night. 

When Zhao Ming came out of the room and the large door was opening, she saw Ji Cheng standing in the garden with his back facing her. 

But when he slowly turned towards her and their eyes met, her heart skipped a beat. 

His eyes were staring at her like she is the only one in this world. For a minute she felt like she was living in an illusion and hoped that this gaze was for her. 

Because no one has seen her with this gaze. 

But she knows that she is here for some time only. She has to go back to her world after Zhao Ming's aunt comes and tells her everything.

Also, he isn't looking at her this way, but Zhao Ming. He loves Zhao Ming and not her. 

She tried to calm down her nerves and did not let her mood down. 

She was surprised when she noticed him wearing an orange and golden colored contrasted outfit as well. She smiled seeing that he had matched his outfit with her. 

A pleased smile appeared on her face as she walked down the stairs. 

' How did he match his outfit well with her? Didn't he just see her outfit today?'

Ji Cheng saw that she was about to get down from the stairs, he hurriedly went over her to hold her hand and help her down the stairs. 

When he suddenly came to her and gave her his hand gentlemanly, she could not help but smile. 

This might not look like anything, but these few gestures touch a woman's heart.

Zhao Ming was so embarra.s.sed because he kept staring at her. She didn't dare to look at him because she could feel his scorching gaze on her. 

When they got down from the stairs, they were still holding hands and she didn't dare to look at him.

Lu s.h.i.+ hurriedly followed Zhao Ming out and witnessed this scene. She could not help but smile at this pleasing scene. 

Whereas Feng Ju who was standing by Ji Cheng's side spotted Lu s.h.i.+ and saw her smiling like a fool seeing Zhao Ming happy. 

His lips twitched as he mumbled lightly, " Stupid." however, a smile appeared on his lips when he saw her happily looking at Zhao Ming. 

" Should we go now?" Ji Cheng gently asked Zhao Ming while looking at her from the side. 

He cannot take his eyes from her. She was looking so beautiful even though it's not a grand event. 

" Yes." Zhao Ming said in a low voice. 

She tried to raise her hand from his grasp but he held her hand tightly in his palms and said in a low voice, " Let's go then "

He started walking with her hands in his and didn't let her get a chance to remove her hand from his and casually walked forward while supporting her and look after her so that she won't feel again. 

Zhao Ming chuckled lightly seeing how much he has changed.

 At first, when they first met he was too embarra.s.sed to hold her hand in public and now he doesn't even let her remove her hand from his grasp. 

She didn't have any problems with it though. She just followed him without any hesitation. She was glad to hold his hand like this. 

She slightly held the helm of her dress to walk comfortably as the dress was too long for her. 

The night was beautiful and the cold breeze was making her feel comfortable and pleased. The weather was perfect and so the man beside her.

He was looking as handsome as always. His royal outfit and his domineering aura make him more charming and attractive.
