After the fashion show, all the ladies and important guests all gather in an event hall to celebrate the success of the fashion show.
Elizabeth continued to be the center of attention as she received countless proposals and international endors.e.m.e.nts. w.a.n.g Ji did not expect such a great turn of events for her career but he wonders if the girl can handle everything. He was worried since people started comparing her to G.o.ddess Zhao and he fears about how Lady Zhao"s fans will think about it. Luckily, the girl always answers the reports" question with such humbleness that nothing bad has happened yet...
"Liz, promise you"ll contact us when you return?" Pia said.
"Of course, if ever you plan to visit do tell," Elizabeth replied with a big smile.
The three ladies embrace each other tightly and acted like a child all giddy and smiling from ear to ear.
The hall was full of top producers and investors. At the same time, they were a lot of n.o.ble politicians and aristocrats wife.
So Elizabeth was happy she could spend time with her grandmother.
"You were amazing." Her Grace praised her.
"Your Grace thank you," Elizabeth smiled.
"Catherine couldn"t help smiling seeing you up to the stage," Lydia added.
"Lydia…" Elder Lady Knightley frowned.
Elizabeth could not help it but giggled hearing how proud her grandmother was of her, "Thank you Lady Lydia."
"Liz, you missed the Royal Race last summer. Don"t tell me you won"t attend the family gathering." Her Grace said.
"No worries, I"ll be sure to be there," Elizabeth replied.
Whilst Elizabeth continued to be in the presence of her grandmother and her friends. She did not notice that a familiar person has entered the event and grab all the lady"s attention.
"Whose that?"
"He is so handsome?"
The young man was carrying a bouquet of white roses and lilies with him. As he walked inside with his a.s.sistant, he continued to look around for someone. He was dressed in a grey suit with an expressionless expression on his face. He looked cold and aloof...
"Lizzy isn"t that Yun Shen."
Her grandmother spoke pointing at the man walking towards them.
Elizabeth turned around and was a surprise to see that it was indeed Yun Shen. Her heart immediately skips a beat seeing the man closing in towards them with a faint smile on his face.
"Shen?"
"Congratulations!" Yun Shen handed her the flower and his eyes glow in delight seeing how beautiful the girl was. His expressionless face soon turned warm and bright as he smiled please to see the girl all fl.u.s.tered.
"Th-thank you, why are you here?" Elizabeth"s ears were bright red as she avoids looking at the man directly.
"I was in Germany for a couple of days. I heard you were invited for a fashion show, so I flew to support you but didn"t make it on time," Yun Shen explained, he then notices the people behind the girl and greeted them, "Lady Knightley."
"It"s good to finally meet you." Elder Lady Knightley glimpse at her granddaughter who seems to be in a daze in the man"s presence. She acknowledges the presence of the young man and introduce him to her friends, "Ladies this is Yun Shen he was the man who saved Elizabeth when she twisted her ankle."
Yun Shen greeted all of them back which made the ladies curious about his relationship with Elizabeth since the girl was all red.
"President." The man beside Yun Shen whispered.
"Li Zi Congratulation, everyone if you excuse me I need to go," Yun Shen bid all of them farewell.
As soon as Yun Shen was a distance away from them, the old ladies started bombarding Elizabeth with different sorts of questions.
"Are you two dating?"
"Dear does he knows you"re the Young Princess?"
"Lizzy, I didn"t expect you and Yun Shen are?"
"Everyone calm down. I"m not dating him and he does not know I"m the Young Princess." Elizabeth sighed as she turned around from them as she sniffed the fragrance of the flowers he gave her.
Whilst Elizabeth continues to greet the other people in the event. Her night darkened as the person she did not expect showed up right in front of her. As if the world has suddenly collapsed on her and the ground she was standing on was shaking. Her vision turned dark as she suddenly felt dizzy all of a sudden.
"Liz, wow you"ve changed."
The man spoke and slowly approached him. He was dressed in a black and white suit. He was tall, with a charming smile on his face, his beautiful brown eyes allured every ladies in the room. With the presence of a prince, he was the perfect man that night.
"Wh-Why are you here?" Elizabeth hesitantly spoke as her body started trembling.
"I"m accompanying my mother." The man stood in front of her and looked at her directly in the eyes and added, "Liz, you looked beautiful."
"Mr. Sanford." A man suddenly approached them. "Miss Li Zi, you were amazing tonight."
Elizabeth forced a smiled and greeted the man, "Thank you, Sir, if you both excuse me."
As she walked as fast as she could, her chest was so tight that she was having problems breathing properly. Her eyes were all teary and her vision were blurry, she was so paranoid that she did not hear the voice calling for her until someone grabs hold of her arm.
"Liz."
Elizabeth turned around to face the person who grabbed her. Her face was all pale and eyes were watery. When she saw the man, she controlled herself and said, "Jayden?"
"Are you alright?" Jayden Stanford asked noticing the girl"s eyes were all red.
"I"m fine if you excuse me I need to look for my manager," She answered as she pushed his hand aside.
"Liz wait, I was hoping if I can send you off."
"It"s fine, I"m with my team," she replied as she pushed the man hand aside.
As the man watched the girl walked away, his heart pained as they part ways. A big part of him wished he could freeze time at the same time go back to the time when he made that big mistake in letting her go. Who would have thought she"ll turn out this way?
When Elizabeth found w.a.n.g Ji, she notices he was still busy with some of the investors. She did not bother to inform them as she headed to the hotel herself.
She arrived at her hotel room all wet from the rain, she quickly went to the shower and turned it on. She collapses inside the shower as the water from the shower covered her tears.
As she leaned over to the wall, her mind started flashing back the memory of the past.
