Chapter 321 - You Failed (2/2)
Outside the TV studio, hundreds of reporters and media personnel have surrounded the studio. They were all waiting for the power couple who just announced their engagement.
”There here!”
Feng Xiaotong already expect quite a commotion of what happened. So he already arranged some of the Feng's guards to be on high alert as they were being escorted to his car.
”President Feng, is it true you and Miss Li Zi are engaged?”
”President Feng, when did you propose to Miss Li Zi and when did you two even start dating.”
”Miss Li Zi, what about President Stanford and Huang Ming? Everyone thought you and Huang Ming are a couple.”
As they were heading to Feng Xiaotong's car. Elizabeth froze when she saw a familiar silhouette amongst the crowd from afar. Feng Xiaotong wonder why the girl seems to be in a daze all of a sudden. He looked at the direction she was looking at and understood why.
Feng Xiaotong turned away and grab a hold of the girl by her shoulder and said, ”Don't worry, I'm sure he'll understand.”
Elizabeth looked at Feng Xiaotong blankly, her sense seems to have shut down. Her heart was aching so badly, and she didn't know what to do. 'What is Shen doing here? What have I done... I...'
”Li Zi, get in.” Feng Xiaotong said as he opened the car door for her.
Elizabeth slid inside and continue to be in a trance of everything. Feng Xiaotong worriedly looked at her, and before getting inside the car, he looked back at the direction where they saw Yun Shen. He saw the man still stood on the same spot and muttered, ”You failed, I'm sorry Shen.”
Yun Shen who was quite a distance from them somehow understood the words Feng Xiaotong declared. His brow knit together as his expression turned colder. ”Hmm...”
Yun Shen watched as the car drove away and the media continue to be in a buzz. He continued to playback the girl's expression when their eyes meet each other. Her expression that time was filled with sorrow, disappointment and all negative emotions. And he too felt the same way.
'I don't have much time left. Hmm... Then, I have no choice but to act as well. Maybe it's time she knows...' Yun Shen contemplated as he got inside his car and left the studio with a heavy heart.
...
Inside the car, Feng Xiaotong notices the girl was still not herself. He grabbed hold of her hands and spoke softly. ”Li Zi, I'm sorry... Everything is all my fault. I didn't mean to hurt you. All I wanted to...”
Elizabeth interrupted and brush off the thought of seeing Yun Shen and focus on her current situation, ”Xiaotong, you don't need to apologize. What you've done is something you needed not apologize for. We know this day would come. I know you've talked to my parents about a marriage between us and I know if they were to arrange such marriage between us, you know what my answer will be.”
”But Li Zi, you know I won't force you. I want you to choose me because you want to, not because your parents force you too.”
”Xiaotong, do we even have the right to choose for our life?”
What Elizabeth meant was the fact her family has continued to plant false memory in her mind which means her family has controlled her like a doll all this time. Despite the freedom she was given, if bad things happened, they would immediately remove such events as if they never exist at all.
