Feng Xiaotong along with his mother seated inside a private room. The boy looked anxious as they await the person whom they'll be meeting.
"Xiaotong, are you sure about this?" Madam Feng worriedly asked his son.
"Mother, just trust me." He responded.
"Xiaotong, you don't need to worry about marrying someone with or without privilege. Ignore your stupid father..."
"Don't worry, I'm not throwing my own happiness. I'm fighting for my own happiness."
"What do you mean, I thought you like..." Madam Feng's eyes lit in shocked after realizing everything. "Don't tell me that Li Zi is the Young Princess? Xiaotong, when did you know?"
"Just recently...."
He was able to explain everything further when they saw the person whom they've been waiting for entering the room. Feng Xiaotong got up and welcome the woman.
"Lady Zhao, thank you for meeting me."
Lady Zhao smiled, she already expected as to why the man wish to meet her. "So, you realize who she is?"
obvious"Yes, and I hope you'll agree to my wish." Feng Xiaotong didn't need to explain further. For it was already obvious as to why they are meeting with each other.
"Xiaotong, why don't you offer Lady Zhao a drink first." Madam Feng spoke still in shock of what she just found out.
The three of them seated around the table as the server served Lady Zhao her drink.
"So, you wish to marry her despite knowing your best friend is in love with her as well. Also, didn't you gave up on her?" Lady Zhao was curious as to how the young man will answer her.
"I did gave up, for I thought my best friend would be suitable for her. But after what happened," Feng Xiaotong paused and wonder for a moment if he should speak of what happened to Elizabeth and Little Yan's kidnapping again. "I mean, I told Shen if something happened to her again, I won't let him off. I said, I'll fight him and I won't let her go. But I don't know if I still have the right to be with her after what I said to her back then."
"Let me guess, you told her you'll always be there for her?" Lady Zhao said.
Feng Xiaotong nodded, leaving Madam Feng all in a daze of everything. She thought to herself, 'To think, Li Zi... Silly me, now I understand why she could handle my daughter.'
"Xiaotong, let me ask you... Do you really love my daughter or are you just afraid she'll fall in Young Stanford's hand? I mean, what do you feel when you see her." Lady Zhao inquired.
"Lady Zhao, to be honest, I didn't know if I loved her. Back then, all I wanted was to make sure no one harms her. She was my light in my darkness, she brought hope to my people, and help people dream that everything is possible as long as you believe in theirselves. So, I thought back then, maybe what I felt for her was because I was grateful for what she's done. Mr. w.a.n.g and Jackie asked me the same question and that's how I answered them before. I just really wish to protect her and make sure the same bright smile stays on her face. Then I realize, does that mean I love her... I mean, I want to protect her, there are times I wish to be with her. Also, I get jealous of seeing her with Shen and with Huang Ming as well. But I don't know, maybe I don't know my own feelings."
"Xiaotong, tell me honestly, why did you let her go without even trying?" Lady Zhao became more intrigued by the boy. It was obvious he loved her, but why does he doubt himself so much.
"I..."
"Because of a girl." Madam Feng answered for her son. "A girl fell in love with him, whom Shen like back then."
"Mother..." Feng Xiaotong became agitated for he didn't wish to talk about the past.
"Xiaotong, it's time for you to let go of the past. What happened back then wasn't your fault. And Shen never blamed you. In the end, weren't both of you betrayed anyway." Madam Feng became furious that her son continues to burden himself of the past.
"Xiaotong, may I know what happened? Maybe, then I can answer your question." Lady Zhao asked.
"We were in our last year in University." Feng Xiaotong sighs heavily before telling them his past. "There was this girl whom Shen like, but Shen being aloof and everything, of course, he did not. I his best friend thought of helping him, but who would have expected the girl to fall for me instead. I told the girl I didn't like her and that she should be with Shen. She did follow my advice, but only to fool the two of us. Eventually, something happened to her and..."
"You don't need to tell me, I understand." Lady Zhao grab hold of the boy's hand. "In regards to your request, it's not possible. To be honest, you are suitable to be with Lizzy. However, it's not up to me but her. If she agrees to be with you, then we will announce your engagement. But, only if she accepts your feelings or your proposal."
Madam Feng found the situation disagreeable. She was dumbfounded of everything and continued to stay muted.
"But let me remind you, you are not the only one who already proposes a marriage proposal. As you know, Young Stanford's family is on par with yours. Even though he has done something despicable. It seems Lizzy, might still have some feelings for the boy. Also, don't forget... She does like Shen as well and we only disagree with them being together because of Shen's current circ.u.mstances."
"Wait, do you mean if Shen is able to solve his family matters, you'll agree with them being together?" Feng Xiaotong asked.
"Of course, his status does not matter to us. Why must we care about something so trivial? Lizzy will hold enough power in the future that no one will dare harm her. But, I don't think Shen will be able to solve it. I mean..."
"What do you mean?" Feng Xiaotong wondered.
"It's best you find out from her. Maybe then, you'll truly understand your true feelings for her." Lady Zhao said.
After an hour or so, Lady Zhao left the mother and son as she headed home. She grabs her phone and called someone.
"Honey, he wishes to marry her, so what's your plan?"
"Hmm..."
"But, I told him only if Lizzy agrees to be with him. But, I feel Lizzy might agree with his proposal. You know her, she was never against arranged marriage, especially for the sake of the family."
"But it's too late." Lord Knightley said.
"What do you mean?" Lady Zhao asked.
"Do you still remember what happened 10 years ago?"
"Are you talking about the time you and Lizzy disappeared and she miraculous lived? What about it?"
"I made a big mistake back then, I'm sorry... I never told you about it for it didn't matter before. But now, I must pay the price."
"Rob, what do you mean price?" Lady Zhao's voice was shaky as she worriedly awaits what her husband has to say.
"I'll explain once you're both here." Lord Knightley didn't feel like answering his wife for he fears of what she'll do.
"Rob, please tell me you didn't offer our own daughter?" Lady Zhao's tears rolled down her face as she realizes what her husband mean by price.
"I'm sorry." Lord Knightley whispered.
Lady Zhao burst into tears and wish to vent out her anger. But she couldn't, she thought maybe during that time her husband didn't have a choice. "Rob, why didn't you tell me. All these years you kept something so important from me. Is this why..."
She didn't need to say it. The reason as to why her husband spends so much time working and building up his power must be because of this. The person who saved their daughter's life must be so powerful, that he had no choice but to agree to the person's request back then. And maybe, by increasing his power now will he be able to turn the table around. But it seems, the man is far too power till the end.
"Rob, what's your plan?"
"Elizabeth will eventually regain her memory, and I hope this will help us. But I fear that it will be too late. Also, you know her personality... She'll agree to the marriage since she'll feel guilty if she found out about the truth."
"What do you mean?"
"A life was lost to save her. Which means, her life does not belong to her..."
Lady Zhao was taken aback. She didn't expect just to save her daughter, someone else's life needs to be taken. "This person whom life was lost, does this person have a special connection with the person who saved Lizzy?"
"Yes."
"Does Petrovich knows about this?"
"Yes."
"Is this why you have Petrovich removed himself in Lizzy's memory?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"That person's life that was lost, was someone very important to Petrovich."
Lady Zhao's mind was all muddled up. She didn't know how to organize all the information she just received. "Does mother and father know?"
"I plan to tell everyone everything this holiday."
"You mean?"
"She has about 4 months left with us." Lord Knightley couldn't be bothered and directly told his wife. Eventually, he needs to tell her and it's best she knows now.
Lady Zhao's heart felt like it was being cut into millions of pieces. She didn't expect she'll only have four months left with her daughter. "I see..."
She ended the call for she didn't have the courage to speak to her husband anymore. She asked the driver to stop the car and leave her for a minute. She burst into tears as she let all the pain she felt out.
The driver patiently watched outside also heartbroken after overhearing his mistress conversation with the master. Despite not knowing everything, he could vaguely puzzle all the information. "Are we about to lose our young mistress?"
