Chapter 263 - Dont Test My Patience (1/2)

In the middle of the night, Yun Shen was woken by the sound of the woman's cry. He got up from the bed and went to the woman's side.

”Tell me who sent you?”

Yun Shen watched as the girl battle with someone in her dreams. His heart aches to see her in so much pain... What was he supposed to do? He can't tell her the truth or else she might do something to herself. He worried that the truth won't set her free but locked herself away.

”Little Yan...”

Yun Shen looked painfully at the girl as he sat next to her. As if she was awake, Yun Shen talked to her.

”She next to you, thanks to you she's still with us... You don't need to worry about her.”

Elizabeth subconsciously smiled after hearing what Yun Shen whispered to her.

It surprised Yun Shen went he saw the sweet and gentle smile the girl was expressing. Maybe she heard what he just said which pleased him. He thought since she seems to be reacting to his words he took the opportunity to talk to her.

”Were you worried that I won't accept you if you were the Young Princess? I mean, I was surprised, but I had my suspension...”

Yun Shen gazed at the girl and notice she seems to have slightly frowned. He didn't stop talking and continued...

”Everyone knew the Young Princess is living an ordinary life. But I didn't expect it was you... To think, it means the man you've been seeing this whole time was me. Which means...”

Yun Shen lips slightly tilted upwards thinking of the fact that he was the man that Chief Minister Zhao dislike but he was also the grandson-in-law he wishes to have.

”Does this mean, your family knew about me? I mean... Have you ever told them you like me? I wonder if your feelings for me are true too? I mean, you rejected me, could the reason be that you're the Young Princess and you felt guilty for lying to me this whole time?”

As he continued to express himself, something suddenly flashed into his mind and he smiled at both Elizabeth and Little Yan.

”Little Yan knew it was you back then, then... I mean, I was surprised as to why she wouldn't let you go. To think I was the only one who didn't know and I had to find out in the most awkward situation.”

Yun Shen sighed heavily as he recalled how he found out about her identity.

”Why did you wish to remove your memory back then? I really wish to know why... I don't know if I can protect you. I mean, I thought... I was the right man for Li Zi, but for the Young Princess, am I really worthy of your love. Who am I?”

Then suddenly, a soft voice echoed in the room, causing the man to drop next to the girl's side.

”Shen, Shen...”

Yun Shen wrapped himself next to the girl as he pulled her closer towards him. ”I'm here... I'm not leaving you.”

He kissed her on her head as he continued to wrap his arms tightly around her. He could feel the warmth coming off the girl's body.

”Lizzy, I wonder, if one day... If one day you'll find out I'm not the Young Master can we still be together?”

Yun Shen laid back flat on the bed as he faces the ceiling. His mind ponders of all the possibility...

What if she finds out the truth about him as well?

Can they still be together?

A few minutes later, Yun Shen got up the bed and headed to his office. He grabbed his phone and called someone...

”Proceed with everything, find out who's after the Yuns?”

Yun Shen looked up at the portrait Li Zi painted before. He chuckled thinking how stupid he was.

”How stupid was I not to notice your message on the corner of the painting?”

He got up and went closer to the portrait, and in the corner of the portrait was a simple hidden message.

{Father's love}

”To think, you gave me the biggest clue of who you are but I didn't notice it. Only the Young Princess leaves a hidden message on her paintings.”

A moment later, Yun Shen went back to his desk and grabbed his phone again. He first checked the time and then called someone.

”Lord Knightley...”

Lord Knightley who received the unexpected call was dumbfounded as to why the man suddenly contacts him. He was still in his office and asked all his subordinated to leave him be.

”Shen, what can I do?”
