Chapter 148 - It’s All For Little Yan

After spending the rest of the day with Little Yan Elizabeth quickly head home. She was so fl.u.s.tered when she woke up and did not realize it was already so late. Luckily, when she left Little Yan was still asleep.

Elizabeth stormed inside the house and did not notice the people that came to welcome her.

"Darling your home."

"Babe…"

They watched as the girl completely ignored them as she headed upstairs, they looked at each other wondering if something had happened again.

...

Elizabeth quickly went to her desk, opened the drawer, grab the envelope and opened it. Once she saw what was inside, she lost her balance and collapsed in her chair, lost for words of what she just read.

'Ah~ What am I gonna do?'

Jackie came knocking at the doors after the girl just ignored them earlier, as she went closer to check on her, "Liz, is something wrong?"

Since Elizabeth did not answer her, she walked towards her and notices the leaflet, tickets, and paper on the desk. She grabs the letter off the table and read it, "A family trip?"

Elizabeth heavily sighed, looking depressed and confused. "I promised to go, but that was before finding out Yun Shen liked someone."

Jackie did not inquire further and let the topic go. She felt it was not her place to tell the girl the truth and wish for her to realize things instead.

...

That night, during dinner Elizabeth was completely in a daze, making everyone at the table worried for her. Yet, they did not speak a word about it and let her be.

After dinner, the girl took a nice bath to calm herself down. As she came out of the bathroom, which was connected to her walk-in closet, she noticed the dresser and remember something.

Elizabeth sat down, opened the lower drawer and pulled out a box, she then opened it and held onto the necklace.

"That's nice…" Jackie said, walking in unannounced behind the girl.

Elizabeth was startled for a moment as she tries to hide the smile on her face, but couldn't, "Yun Shen gave it to me as a birthday present. I came running to his house drunk thinking he forgot it when he lent me his jacket, yet, in the end, he actually planned everything…"

Jackie was surprised to hear this for the first time, could it be possible that the girl Yun Shen like was Elizabeth all along but he did not directly tell her? 

"I think you should go on the trip, at least for Little Yan."

"Jackie, do you know after the party I thought of hiding away from him? I even thought of going back to England or even to America with you. Since every time I see him, my heart won't stop beating, I feel like a million butterflies flying in my stomach, I feel so uneasy and don't know how to act around him." Elizabeth explained herself as she buried her face on the table with her arms flat crossed on the table as well.

Jackie couldn't help but laugh, how she wishes she could tell her the truth, but it was more fun seeing how her best friend reacts. Now that she finally found someone who loved her for her. "Babe, then just go with the flow. He hasn't announced who the girl is. Maybe he was just playing with you and only told you that because he didn't know how to tell you the truth."

Elizabeth was perplexed and looked at Jackie as she listened eagerly to her explanation.

"What if he actually does not have anyone he likes, but was too embarrassed because a guy like him, doesn't it look too impossible to be not with anyone right. Plus, he has a child already."

After thinking about what Jackie explained, she actually realizes everything made sense. "You're right, anyway, it's all for Little Yan."

...

Deep though the night, Elizabeth went out for a walk around the estate garden whilst holding onto her phone.

Since it was already midway to summer, it was quite warm that night.

The girl continued to wander around the whole estate, not realizing in the end she already has stepped out of their estate and wander through the community.

Imperial Garden Plaza was a large community home to more than 30 estates, home to aristocrats, military and politicians which means each estate varies in size to why the community is so grand.

The Zhao residence is the biggest estate in the community and holds most of the land. It was well gated unlike the others home, has its own private lake, archers of lands and many more.

Imperial Garden Plaza has its own park, lake, basketball court, tennis court, and other leisure activities. Since the community does loads of events all the time to spend time with each other.

As Elizabeth continued to wander around, she then realizes she was actually almost to the front gate.

When one of the night guards notices her, he approached her wondering why she was out so late at night. "Young Miss, why are you here so late at night?"

Elizabeth actually did not realize she walked this far, she smiled as she answered him. "I couldn't sleep and decided to go for a walk."

"Take care, then Young Miss." the guard said as he continued on with his duty.

Elizabeth decided to head home when halfway along the way, she notices Long and Chou with other guards behind them running her way.

"Young Miss, where did you go?"

"Young Miss is something wrong?"

Elizabeth was surprised to see all of them, "Why are you here?"

Long place the coat on the girl's shoulder, "The front guard said he noticed you leaving the estate. When he called your attention you did not respond to him at all. He notices you didn't come back after a while, then informed us. Young Miss, you've been gone for almost an hour."

Elizabeth checks her phone and realizes it was almost midnight, she did not expect she was walking for a long time. "Let's head home."

It took almost 30 minutes just to get to the estate from the front gate and another 20 minutes to reach the front door of the house.

Since they did not inform the master she was gone, she was able to sneak inside the house quietly without alerting anyone.

As she jumps into the bed next to Jackie who was already fast asleep, she grabs her phone and did something which puts herself to ease. Eventually, putting herself to sleep that night without any burdens.
