ETERNAL LOVE: A LOVE STORY (PART 1)

23

Liwei was waiting for her downstairs, after getting ready she also came downstairs. When Liwei saw her he was in a daze. She was dazzling in a burgundy color lace dress. Her black hair was simply kept open and she was wearing ruby studded earrings with them and simple heart-shaped pendant. She was also wearing a ring paired with earrings in her left hand and carrying branded clutch which complimented her overall outfit. Though everything was branded but it was very low key in view of her other things. Her style is very different from before. Rather than wearing heavy makeup, she has a very light makeup which enhanced her overall beauty. She walked towards Liwei, elegantly, while holding her clutch bag behind her back with both hands, back straightened, head held giving powerful aura just like Empress.

For some time, he kept staring at her and said " beautiful". She giggled and replied, " thankYou".

Both looked at each other for some time. After that Ming suddenly remembered her motive to get ready and quickly said," let's go. Otherwise, we'll be late. And we also had to buy gifts for them. Ahh we don't have much time and I haven't thought anything yet." she said anxiously.

He looked at her and smiled. She never cared about all these things before. She never thinks his family as hers. She always called his parents Sir and Madam. But now she was doing all the things that a daughter in law should do. He looked at her and said," don't worry, I have prepared everything. You just have to come with me. don't panic. And we're getting late. Let's go ." he said while holding her hand.

She shooked his hand and said ," You should have told me about this earlier. Because of you, I don't have time to arrange gifts. And those gifts were arranged by you, not, me. This should be my duty and I don't want to look insincere in this matter. " she said with an annoyed expression.

He looked at her, and thought, ' She really wants to give this relationship a chance' . After a while, he said, " You can prepare the gifts next time. For now, let's go already. You don't want them to wait for us. Do you?"

She panicked at his words and dashed out without waiting for him and said," Let's go ".

He chuckled seeing her panicking like this and shook his head before following her out. In the car, she was anxious during the whole ride to the Jin Mansion.

Inside the Jin Mansion, everyone was waiting for them. Liwei has told them that she had suffered from amnesia though she got her memories back but there are many things that she doesn't remember. When Grandfather and Mother Jin heard about her condition, they were very worried about her, though Ming never accepted them as their family but they treated her as their daughter. And they were happy when Liwei told them that she has changed after the incident for the good and progressing in their relationship.

When they were thinking about how to make her comfortable, at that time, a maid came running to them announcing their arrival. Father Jin was also present. And there was another young man beside him.

When they were outside the Jin Mansion, Ming was so nervous that she was practically trembling. She was nervous because in her past life, her mother in law has made her life like living hell. She always wanted to have a mother like mother in law, as her mother had passed away after giving her birth but when she met her mother in law her happiness disappeared.All she get was humiliation, and foul treatment from her. She never accepted her as her daughter in law. By thinking this, she got nervous. Though she remembers that Mrs. Jin was a nice person and always treated her nice but she also remembers what Ming has done to her. She never disrespected her but never treated her as a close family member too. So she was worried to face her because of past events.

Sensing her nervousness, he held her hands and patted them assuring her and then they went inside the Mansion.

When they entered, all the family members that were present stand up to welcome them. Mother Jin looked at them and their hands that they were holding and smiled . When Ming saw her mother in law, she recognized her in one glance. Mother Jin excitedly went to went to welcome them.

Mother jin said, " you came. We were waiting for you guys." taking Ming's hands in hers.

Seeing her mother in law so nice to her, Ming smiled and felt relieved. Before Mother Jin could say anything, Ming gave her a ninety-degree bow and said, " Greetings to Mother".

At this gesture of her everyone was stunned, even Liwei was surprised to see her like this. Before she just used to say Hello to everyone and she never called her 'Mother' before, the ninety-degree bow was out of the syllabus.

Mother jin who was caught off guard, calmed herself and saw she was still in bow position, she instantly accepted her greeting and make her to stand back. By seeing this, Grandfather, Father and the young man smiled. She said, " Ming you don't need to do all these formalities next time. " Then she hugged her tightly in her embrace. at this gesture of her, Ming smiled and nodded.

After that Mother Jin, pulled her to greet the Grandfather and father Jin. Liwei was ignored liek he didn't exist. Young man looked at him and smiled cheekily. Seeing his smile, Liwei got annoyed and he went next to Ming. She also greeted the Grandfather in the same way, and he laughed And said," Oh my girl, you've changed so much. Grandfather loves you so. much. Come and greet your father". Then when she has done greeting Grandfather, she found a man behind him, whose face was covered with Grandfather's body. She understood that he was Liwei's Father as Grandfather gestured towards him, as she crossed Grandfather when she saw that Man's face she was stunned. She froze on the spot.

When everyone saw her reaction, they wondered what happended to her and followed her gaze and they only saw Father Jin but why Ming's expression like this. 'Is she scared of him'. Even Father Jin was surprised at her reaction. Mother Jin eyed him to become more gentle. She might have got scared of him. After all, he looks so cold and arrogant.

He tried to make himself look gentle and when he wanted to say something. He was caught off guard.
