Early the next day, the woman woke up with a painful headache. She was woken up by the sound of her phone ringing. She looked around and noticed her phone on the bedside table.
"Hello.."
"Li Zi, sorry to bother you, I'm sure you're exhausted as well. We won't be filming today, the assistant director just called me saying half of the staff are feeling too well. The director and Huang Ming even ended up in the hospital."
"Okay..."
After ending the call, her head felt even heavier. As she turned around, she notices a little girl was beside her reading a book. She thought she was seeing things, so she reached out and pinched the little girl. The little girl softly cried as she reacted with a painful expression. The woman quickly regained consciousness and realize it was Little Yan.
"Little Yan, Auntie is sorry... Auntie thought she was dreaming..." She hastily embraces the little girl and tries to coax it to ease.
Elizabeth looked around and realized she wasn't in her own room. She quickly grabs her phone and realize her uncle and grandfather has sent dozens of messages asking her where she was.
The fact she ran off late last night with the man's jacket, the maid must have informed them about it. Causing them to assume she was currently with the man.
As she released Little Yan from her embrace, the little girl's hair got tangled into something wrap around her neck.
When she slowly untangled it, a pink teardrop shape diamond necklace appeared. She thought back to what happened last night and realized it wasn't a dream, and the necklace was the proof everything happened last night.
Her face, then turned red when she recalled before falling asleep she actually vomited in front of Chairman Yun's and on his doorstep.
"Little Yan, do you think your father will kill me for what I did last night?"
The little girl looked confused about what she was trying to say. All she did was shake her head telling her 'not to worry'.
She then noticed that her clothes were differed from last night, which means someone has changed them. She wonders if Chairman Yun was the one who changed her clothes. Does that mean he has seen her bare skin? For some reason, she felt embarrassed about it, yet she wore two piece swimsuits during the summer and had loads of people stare at her when she went to the beach with Jackie last summer yet she didn't feel any sign of awkwardness.
"Little Yan, let's go down and have breakfast."
The woman carried the little girl in her arms as they headed downstairs. As they were about to head down the stairs, a man in his casual clothes just steps out of his room. His long hair was all messed up, he looked exhausted as if he had not slept a wink.
"Chairman Yun, good morning."
The man walked towards them and kissed the little girl in the woman's arm. He gently patted the little girl's head as he checks on the woman's condition, "Feeling better?"
"Chairman Yun, about last night…"
"It's fine, let's go and eat…" Yun Shen said, as he recalled what happened and felt ashamed of himself.
Before they could walk forward, he smiled, noticing the necklace around her neck, it pleased him that she didn't remove it.
The little girl noticed that things seem to have changed between her father and her Auntie Li Zi, she smiled from ear to ear when she realized something exciting is about to happen between them soon.
...
As they were about to head to the breakfast room, they notice a woman coming out of the corner.
She was dressed in simple clothing. Just a simple top and jeans a perfect outfit to go on an outing.
When she walked in the room, she was surprised to see her son and granddaughter walking down the stairs with a woman, at the same time the woman was even carrying the little girl in her arms, which is something to be surprised of.
"Mother, you're earlier…"
Elizabeth, who was carrying Little Yan couldn't believe what the man just called the woman.
'Did he just called the woman, mother, that means she's Little Yan's grandmother.'
Her situation was already so awkward that she didn't expect things would get worse for her.
"I wanted to help Little Yan later to prepare for our trip." She replied while giving his son a curious look, asking him who the woman hiding behind him is.
"Mother, this is Miss Li Zi, the girl who saved Little Yan last time."
When the woman found out that she was the woman who saved her granddaughter, she was so ecstatic and started running towards her. Because of her, her cold heart son and lonely grandchild have slowly opened up.
"Miss Li Zi, I had to thank you for saving our Little Yan. Thank you as well for always spending time with her."
Elizabeth felt nervous being so close to the woman, she anxiously answered her, "Madam Yun, it's not a problem at all."
As the mother was about to ask and investigate the relationship between her son and the woman. Her clever son interrupted them.
"Come, let's eat now. Remember, you have an empty stomach because of last night…"
The girl felt even worse about the situation now. Why must he make it even more awkward in front of his mother?
As the four of them dine together, the mother couldn't help but feel at ease towards the girl. She was caring and sincere towards Little Yan, she felt no sign of malice towards her.
"Miss Li Zi, if you're not busy, why not join us? Will be taking Little Yan out to visit a farm where you can pick up fresh vegetables and fruits for you to cook yourself. There is also a fish pond where you can catch fish at the same time…"
As the woman continued to explain everything, the girl felt hopeless. Even if she was to say 'no' they'll drag her and insist she must come. Especially with Little Yan's condition, for sure she'll have no choice.
"Sure, why not…."
