Elizabeth place Little Yan down as she thought of a way out of this awkward situation. She can"t help but recall what happened last time and how she rejected Shen. However, her heart was beating differently seeing the man. She did not despise him for what he did but she was happy to see him again.
"Shen, Madam Yun it"s good to see you," Lady Zhao spoke seeing her daughter was in a daze and has turned mute.
"Weiwei darling, come look, doesn"t Yifie looked beautiful," Elder Lady Knightley ecstatically spoke as she grabbed hold of Yifie. But was fuddled to see the person with her daughter and granddaughter.
"Yun Shen?"
"Elder Lady Knightley, Lady Zhao, it"s good to see you all," Yun Shen replied as he grabs hold of Little Yan, "This is my daughter, Little Yan and my mother."
"Madam Yun, it"s good to finally meet you," Elder Lady Knightley said.
"Ah, this is my future daughter-in-law Lui Yifie," Lady Zhao introducing Liu Yifie to them.
"Madam Yun, Young Master Yun, Young Miss a pleasure to meet you all," Liu Yifie greeted them.
"Miss Liu, just call me Auntie, no need to be formal."
"I shall Auntie."
"By the way, what are you doing here?" Lady Zhao asked, glancing at her daughter who seem to be troubled.
"We plan to buy some new clothes for Little Yan since she"s grown quite a bit," Madam Yun explained.
"She has, indeed."
Lady Zhao smiled seeing the little girl all wrapped in her father"s arms. She thought since her daughter kept something from her, she planned to teach her a lesson.
"How about we all go together?"
Elder Lady Knightley went closer to Little Yan as she caressed her chubby cheeks, "I"m sure Little Yan is eager to spend time with Lizzy, aren"t you not?"
Little Yan did not say a word but nodded her head vigorously as she then reached out her arms to Elizabeth with surprise Madam Yun and Yun Shen.
"Is something wrong, Madam Yun?" Liu Yifie asked noticing her expression.
"It"s just, Little Yan isn"t really close to anyone apart from us and her favorite Auntie."
"Who?"
"The actress Li Zi," Madam Yun answered bewildered by what she was seeing and how Little Yan was acting towards the Young Princess.
Liu Yifie stared at Elizabeth, surprise that she has such a good bond with the Yun family as well. To think what luck she has or what fate has in for her.
"Madam Yun, our family will be dining later at the new restaurant down Spring Hill Road would you like to join us?" Lady Zhao suggested.
"Sure, I"ll call my husband, father and youngest sons," she replied.
Elizabeth looked at her mother whilst Little Yan was in her arms. She did not expect her mother to even make things complicated for her. "Mother, what are you doing? Are you planning to get me killed?"
Lady Zhao notices her daughter looking at her, despite she couldn"t see her eyes, she knew she was glaring furiously at her. All she could do was smile back at the helpless girl.
"It"s your fault for hiding things from me. Your father almost destroyed the Stanford family and here you are hiding the truth from us."
As the two families roamed the store together they ended up at the mall department store. It contained mix items from women, men, and children"s clothing and accessories. It surprises them when Yun Shen suddenly approached Liu Yifie with a necklace.
"Miss Liu, a present for you."
"Young Master Yun I simply can"t..." Liu Yifie hastily rejected the necklace which looked quite expensive.
"I wish you all the happiness in your future married life."
"But..." she was reluctant until she saw the little girl standing in front of her
"Doesn"t Auntie like it?" Little Yan"s eyes looked innocent and pitifully at her.
Yun Shen looked at Little Yan and said, "She picked it for you."
"Auntie like it, thank you Young Miss," Liu Yifie went down to thank her.
"Little Yan." Little Yan said, telling her to address her that way.
"I mean Little Yan," she giggled seeing how adorable the little girl was and now understand why Lizzy was so attached to her.
"Madam Yun you have raised such a well mannered son and granddaughter," Elder Lady Knightley praised her.
"So have you Elder Lady Knightley, Lady Zhao, to have such beautiful, talent and most of all, the kindest princess in the world." Madam Yun said whilst gazing at the girl who was checking the items.
Elder Lady Knightley couldn"t help it and chuckle in agreement to what Madam Yun said.
"You"re right, she is a good child." she said whilst looking at her granddaughter who was checking on some items.
"Granny which tie do you think Granddad would like?" Elizabeth walking with the clerk who was holding onto the tie she has picked. She was no longer mute since she put on her voice changer, which she hid underneath the light blue summer silk scarf.
"Your granddad would like anything as long as you picked it."
"Then I"ll get this for Granddad," she said as she asked the clerk to pack it. Then looked at Madam Yun and asked, "Madam Yun which one would President and Elder Yun like?"
"He normally likes wearing a tie in the shade of blue or grey while father likes anything."
"Then I"ll take these two," she instructed the clerk to pack the blue tie in different shades.
Outside the Mall Complex
Yun Bai was heading inside in search of his mother and brother, when he stumbled across Long Yiyi and her friends.
"Yiyi!"
But was surprised when he notices her face was slightly swollen and quite pale.
"Bro Yun?" Long Yiyi surprisingly replied, worried that he might have noticed the bruises on her face.
"What are you doing here?"
"Sis Zhuan"s birthday."
"Happy Birthday Zhuan."
"Thank you Bro Yun."
"Why don"t I accompany you for a while, if you see anything you like I"ll be happy to give it to you as a present from me and Yiyi," Yun Bai happily suggested as he grabbed hold of Long Yiyi"s hand.
The group headed to the second floor where most of the items of clothing, accessories and more shops are.
As they entered one of the shops, it was quite empty and there were only two female customers. Long Yiyi and her friends looked around the store to check some of the items.
Zhuan notices a bag by the counter and grabbed it, "Bro Yun, I"ll be happy to have this as a present."
"Sure, no problem." Yun Bai replied.
"Miss I"m sorry, but that"s mine."
A timid woman spoke as she stood in front of the man and the woman who was holding on to her bag.
"Can you even afford this?" Zhuan replied, noticing the woman was dressed in simple clothing only.
"Miss your being quite rude," she replied displeased how she was being treated because of how she looked.
"It"s my birthday today, so if you don"t mind, I"m getting this…" Zhuang arrograntly said as she locked her arms around the bag.
"Even if it"s your birthday, I still can"t let you have the bag, I was about to pay for it."
"Miss, can you please just choose another item in the store and you don"t need to worry, I"ll pay for it." Yun Bai suggested, hoping to avoid any conflict, seeing the woman doesn"t look ordinary at all.
"Sir, that won"t be necessary at all," she replied furiously that he suggested something so obscure.
"Stop acting as if you"re not pleased, a mistress like you would be pleased to be treated so well by someone like Bro Yun!"
Long Yiyi and her friends notice the commotions happening, as they approached and witness who the person they were quarreling with Long Yiyi expression pale as if she was seeing a ghost. "I have to stop her." But before she could do anything to stop Zhuan, she was surprised when she pushed the girl aside causing her to lose her balance and fall.
Suddenly a cold monstrous presence emerged from behind them all, as her voice echoed causing everyone"s spine to shiver. The person has witnessed everything from the start, but continue to observe everything. When she saw the girl being degraded and pushed aside she became furious.
"What did you do?"
