Chapter 308 - Consider Yourself A Man (1/2)
With the two kids, sudden appearance brought awkwardness to the place. Not merely were they all surprised by their appearance but by the little girl's father's appearance as well. Of course, he would be present but who would have guessed...
Yun Shen approached them looking all indifferent and calm, he stood tall in front of them. Nothing caring at all for his attention was all fixed on the young lady. He was not surprised when he noticed her being surrounded by Feng Xiaotong and especially Huang Ming since both of them worked together. But, the unexpected appearance of the man he encountered in France drastically changed his calm manner to cold and hostile. He wasn't pleased at all to see him standing next to the girl.
”Shen, I didn't know you were coming?” Elizabeth asked all surprised.
”Little Yan was invited,” He responded and explained as to why the little boy was with them as well. ”Both Senator and Madam Yang asked me to watch over Young Master Yang since they can't make it.”
”I see...”
”Shen, you should have told me you're coming.” Feng Xiaotong spoke uncomfortably astounded to see his best friend standing in front of him. Also, the confidence he felt earlier soon washed down the drain with the man's surprise appearance.
”Hmm...” Yun Shen responded.
Huang Ming found the situation awkward for all of them. He decided to take the opportunity and interact with the little boy whom he befriended during his visit last time. ”Young Master Yang, how's your sword training doing?”
”Uncle Huang, I'm as good as you now. You should come and visit me next time so you can see.” Young Master Yang suggested as he then turned to face the young lady, ”Auntie, you and Uncle Huang should visit me. I'll show you how good my martial arts skills are.”
”Young Master Huang, I'll be a great honor to visit your home and I'll be happy to play along with you.” Huang Ming answered.
”Xiao Yang, that would be great but you need to ask your parents' permission first.” Elizabeth smiled.
Young Master Yang beamed with excitement knowing both of them accepted his offer. ”No worries, I shall inform mother and father.”
Little Yan felt left out as she tugged on the girl's skirt and murmured, ”Auntie, when will you come and play with Little Yan?”
”Ah...”
Young Master Yang was devastated after hearing Little Yan's lonely request. He immediately turned to her and said, ”Little Yan, don't worry... You can come with us as well. You know you're always welcome to visit my home.”
Whilst Young Master Yang cleared the air between him and Little Yan. The a.d.u.l.ts were busy minding themselves and contemplating on the situation.
Jayden Stanford found the situation even more complicated now. Because of the two children's appearance, the girl will no longer wish to go with him. His plans are no longer reachable. What's worse, he needed to confirm if what Feng Xiaotong declared earlier was true or not. Was he indeed pursuing the girl? 'Damn it! Why did they need to show up as well? Now I won't be able to talk to Liz. What's worse, it seems my family might be going against the Feng. But I can't let her go now especially I know who she is. I can't let a nobody like the Yuns have her... She was mine and mine alone. I was a fool back then, but not anymore.'
Yun Shen notices the trouble look on Jayden's face. He wonders what the man could be thinking. 'Why is he here? This isn't good... If he's here, this could only mean he's pressuring Lizzy again. I can't let him have her and hurt her again. But, something does not add up. Why is he looking at Xiaotong like that? Don't tell me... Could it be, the Knightley disapprove of him and accept Xiaotong. It means, if I... If I wasn't around, Xiaotong could, he could be with Lizzy. No, I can't let her go. Even if it means fighting my friend.'
Feng Xiaotong who felt like in the deep abyss glanced at Jayden and Shen who both seems to be in deep thought as well. His mind was all muddled up and confused about the current situation. If what he analyzed where true then right now, he has the greatest advantage. 'What should I do? I don't know what to do... But I can't see her get hurt. Shen, I warned you. If you ever hurt my Goddess, I won't, I won't let you off that easily. I can't see her go through what happened last time. Because of you, because of your family, I... What's worse, I think I really do love her. I love her since the first time she stood in front of me. Shen, tell me... What should I do?'
'Who am I? Why am I here... Why am I even bother.' Huang Ming thought while stood in front of three young heirs of a powerful family. 'But I can't let her go. She's my light who brought joy in my life. Plus, I don't want to see her with President Stanford for it seems he had done something horrible to Li Zi in the past. But... Am I worthy of her?'
Elizabeth too was thinking of a way out of the situation. Right now, all she wished to do is go home. She has so much in her hand and having her suitors fighting in front of her is something she doesn't want to handle at the moment.
Despite being just a young boy, he notices the strange situation they are currently facing. 'Does the four uncle like Auntie? But Auntie needs to be with Uncle Shen so she can be Little Yan's mommy. But, but I don't want to lose Auntie. I heard Uncle's family... Because of Little Yan, Auntie almost... I can't lose Auntie, but I don't want to see Little Yan sad.'
Little Yan found everything awkward and thought of a way to end the awkwardness between everyone. She reached out her arms towards the young lady and whispered, ”Auntie...”
Elizabeth snaps back to her senses hearing the little girl calling out her name, she went down and carried her in her arms, ”What's wrong?”
”Auntie, I'm hungry.” she answered.
”Then, let's go find something to eat.”
”Auntie, Little Yan, I want to come to.” Young Master Yang added.
