Chapter 322 - Child (1/2)

Elizabeth and Feng Xiaotong arrived at Imperial Garden Plaza. They weren't surprised to see everyone waiting for them outside with such serious expressions on their faces.

Feng Xiaotong cleared his throat as he gathered himself together. He declared before to marry the girl but didn't expect he'll be faced with a pack of wolf ferociously looking at him. The two generals and the young heir of the Zhao were looking coldly at him as if they were pointing each a gun on his head. ”Li Zi, are your family this cold. I swear your brother was friendly towards me the first time we meet.”

Elizabeth chuckled and realized how frightened Feng Xiaotong felt at the moment. Her family are indeed cold and that the same time cruel if they have too. ”Xiaotong, I'm sorry, but didn't you wish for this.”

”I did, but...”

Elizabeth grab patted Feng Xiaotong on his shoulder to comfort him. ”If ever we do end up together, they will be your family you do know that right?”

Her words were like the trigger to the gun being pointed at him. He saw his death right in front of him. 'What was I even thinking...' He sighs as he thought of things. 'All I want is to protect her but I didn't expect to put myself in such an awkward situation. Li Zi, why did you need to be the child of such a cold-blooded family. I mean, whatever... I better face them now if ever I do end up marrying the girl in the future.'

Elizabeth got out of the car first as he greeted her family. ”Grandpa, Uncle, Brother, Mom, it's good to see you all. Grandpa, I'm sorry to have broken my promise and not visited you.”

The flames within Elder Chief Zhao vanished when he saw the glowing smile on his granddaughter's face, ”Darling it's fine... Grandpa misses you a lot. Come here and give me a hug.”

Whilst Elizabeth was embracing her grandfather, Feng Xiaotong took the opportunity to approach the family. ”Eh- everyone... It's good to see you again.”

His voice were all shaky and cold sweat was running down his back. In front of him was Imperial City's most respected family and right now he was stepping in their terrorism and boldly declared to be their future in-law. ”I came with Li Zi, I mean, Lizzy be...”

Lady Zhao interrupted the boy noticing his expression turning paler every minute he was stood in front of them. He looked like a puppy who was being scrolled by its master. ”Young Feng, it's good to see you. Xiaotong, come, join us for lunch.

”.....”

Feng Xiaotong turned mute as he followed Lady Zhao obediently whilst glancing at the cold beast behind him.

Elizabeth looked worriedly at Feng Xiaotong as she realized his life won't be easy from now on. 'Xiaotong, this is all your fault. You should have thought of things before stepping into the battlefield.'

Inside the dining room, everyone was seated around leaving Feng Xiaotong to feel like in the hot seat. He counted his moments and reminisce all the precious memories.

”Grandpa, why did you wish to meet President Feng?” Elizabeth spoke up seeing the awkward and dreary silence in the room.

Elder Chief Zhao cleared his throat first before answering his granddaughter's concern. He places down his chopsticks and looked at the young man who couldn't even touch his food. ”You do know what you have done right?”

”Chief Minister...” Feng Xiaotong anxiously acknowledges the old man as he turned to face him.

”You do know that your declaration of being her fiance can ruin her reputation in the future. If she does announce who she is in the future and the engagement between the two of you does not take place. People will wonder why?” Elder Chief Zhao continues to speak in such a cold tone.

”Chief Minister, my intention for Li Zi, I mean Lizzy is real. But, it's up to her.” Feng Xiaotong lowered his voice and looked down for he already knows the girl would only choose him for the sake of her family.
