The Yuns were all amazed apart from Madam Yun seeing the grand estate. As they drove throughout the residence, they were astounded to see the majestic houses.
"To think such residence exists," President Yun said.
"From what I know, only military officers and politicians live in the area." Elder Chairman Yun added.
"Which one is the Zhao home?" Yun Bai asked.
Madam Yun smiled seeing everyone perplexed expression, "None."
As they reached the end of the residence, they arrived at another gate estate, they were bewildered to see the beautiful scenery and greenery. When they finally arrived at the estate itself, they were G.o.dsmack.
"Welcome to the Zhao residence," Madam Yun delightfully said.
As they all came out of the car, Lady Zhao came out of the house and welcome.
"You"re all finally here."
As they all greeted each other, Lady Zhao guided them inside the house.
Every part of the house was like an out of this world for the Yuns. There were so many artifacts and sculptures, which you"ll normally see in museums.
"Father, they"re here…" Lady Zhao announced as they all entered the room.
The library they entered was one of the many libraries in the house. It was small but comfortable compared to Elizabeth"s private library. Inside the elders were all enjoying a cup of coffee and tea while the two elder men were playing chess. Leaving Elder Lady Knightley to enjoy her book.
"Ah, you"re finally here," Elder Chief Zhao said as he got up from his seat. But what he really wishes to say, "Boy, you have some explaining to do, what did you do to my precious princess?"
Whilst everyone became acquainted with each other, General Zhao, Zhao Xinyi, and Liu Yifie entered the room. They greeted each other as they happily converse.
Everyone in the Zhao and Knightley tried their best not to kill the young man as Lady Zhao watched them closely worriedly.
Not long when the father of the girl entered the room...
"Where"s Lizzy?" Lady Zhao asked worriedly looking at her husband who was staring at Yun Shen.
"She fell asleep, I didn"t bother waking her up," Lord Knightley answered.
"Little Yan, would you like to come with me and wake your Auntie?" Liu Yifie went down to face Little Yan.
Little Yan reached out her hands indicating for her to carry her, "Come."
"You take care later," Zhao Xinyi planting a kiss on Liu Yifie"s forehead.
As the girl vanished with the little girl, the room suddenly turned cold. It surprised everyone when the man who hardly speaks spoke up.
"So, did things work out for you and Miss Li Zi?" Lord Knightley coldly looked at the young man in front of him.
Everyone"s eyes were fixed on the young man as they eagerly await for his answer.
Yun Shen only shook his head expressionlessly.
Seeing the boy dejected expression just means the girl rejected him. Which means nothing happened between them. Everyone was relieved especially the father of the girl. Since his daughter seems to continue to keep secrets from him, better ask the man instead. If something did happen, he would have killed the boy right in front of everyone.
Inside the bright beige-colored room.
A girl was sleeping soundly on the couch when someone opened the door. Liu Yifie walked in with Little Yan in her arms. She put the little girl down as she runs to Elizabeth.
Little Yan looked at her future mother with glee, who was sound asleep and ponder if whether she should wake her up or not?
"Auntie…"
A soft voice echoed in the girl"s ears when she slowly opened her eyes. She wraps her arms around the little girl beside her, "You"re here…"
"Morning Auntie."
"Good morning Little Yan," she said as she sat down on the couch.
"Lizzy, everyone has left already." Liu Yifie said.
"I see…" Elizabeth yawned as she rubbed her eyes.
"Auntie, Grandmother took Auntie Yun to meet with her friends," Liu Yifie added.
"Little Yan, Auntie gonna take a shower, can you be a good girl and stay here?"
Little Yan nodded her head as she sat down on the couch.
"I"ll bring some snacks for her," Liu Yifie said as she steps out of the room.
Elizabeth just finished taking a shower, she was drying her hair as she steps out to check on Little Yan.
"Sis Yifie will surely be a good mother."
Watching Liu Yifie take care of Little Yan made Elizabeth realize her brother has picked a perfect wife for the future. Since Little Yan was not an easy person to please and get so close with. As she looked at the two of them, she recalls the event of last night. Just one word from her and she would have been Little Yan"s mother.
"Maybe not..."
Liu Yifie notices the girl standing by her closet door all in a daze. "Lili, what should we do today?"
"I"m planning to take her to an amus.e.m.e.nt park."
"I"ll get change then."
"Okay…"
Little Yan was left alone with her Auntie Li Zi since it was only them in the room she boldly asked her.
"Auntie, will you not be my mommy?"
Elizabeth was taken aback by the little girl"s question as she turned around to face her. She shook her head if whether she was dreaming and overhearing things. "Little Yan, what did you say?"
"Will Auntie not be my mommy?"
"Little Yan, I can be your mommy if you like..." Elizabeth answered without realizing what the little girl meant.
"I mean my real mommy." Little Yan walked closer to the girl with a pitiful look on her face.
"Baby, what do you mean?" she got down on her knees to face and understand what the little girl is trying to say.
"Daddy said, Auntie, said no."
"Ah," Elizabeth then realize what Little Yan meant. She must have known about what happened between her and Shen. It surprised her that the little girl knew about it. Could it be she overheard Shen talking to someone about what happened between them?
The only person she could think of was Jackie. Maybe Shen was talking to Jackie and Little Yan overheard. Whilst her mind was in deep thought and recalls that Jackie was involved with last night"s event, her blood boils. "You"re so dead when I see you..."
Meanwhile, late in the evening in America, Jackie suddenly felt a shiver down her spine. "Someone must be talking about me."
Elizabeth looked at the little girl in front of her and decided not to hide anything from her since it seems she"s been good at keeping her ident.i.ty from her father.
"Baby, Auntie honestly likes your father. But Auntie feels like a bad person for fooling your father. I mean, auntie bad since she lied to your father."
"Then if father knows will Auntie be with father?"
Elizabeth thought about it for a moment and answered, "I"m not sure, I"m not sure if your father will be able to accept me after I"ve lied to him. But baby, you can"t tell your father I am your Auntie Li Zi. You promised, remember?"
"I won"t, but will Auntie promise to give father a chance."
"Of course."
