Trial Of Love - Chapter 223
Elizabeth and Zhao Xinyi along with some guards arrived at the resort. There weren’t a lot of guests in the resort, making it easy for her since she didn’t wear any disguises. Since the staff of the resort was informed ahead that she was the Young Princess at the same time Li Zi, they were instructed to keep things quiet or else…
A couple of minutes later, the rest of the party arrived. However, the old general was grumpy as he approached them.
“Xinyi what were you thinking driving so fast. What if you two get into an accident?”
“Xinyi! What happened? I heard you suddenly stop in the middle of the road.” General Zhao furiously added.
“Calm down everyone, what’s the point of owning a sports car if you can’t drive it to its capacity.” Elizabeth eases the two generals before killing (in which they’ll vent out on Xinyi none stop) her brother.
“Lili, Uncle is just worried for you.”
“Father, I’m one of the best drivers in the army don’t you trust me.” Zhao Xinyi proudly declared with a big smile on his face.
“Of course I do, you’re my son. I too was the best driver.” The father proudly boasts about himself stating his son is only a good driver because of him.
“See, now everyone lets go inside,” she said as she grabbed her brother’s arm as he dragged him inside.
As they went to the main building they were greeted by the whole staff. Elizabeth’s expression changed when she saw someone she didn’t expect to see. She quickly drags her brother out of the building, causing everyone to wonder what just happened
“Lili, what’s wrong?” Zhao Xinyi asked as he tries to catch his breath, confused why the girl suddenly dragged him.
“Brother she here.”
Elizabeth’s eyes were sparkling with delight. She was fl.u.s.tered and excited at the same time. Her joy could not be explained at the sight of the person she saw. She was indeed blessed just like Master Jiang said. How her prayer was answered fast.
“Who’s here?”
“Who else…”
Elizabeth rolled her eyes disappointedly at her brother for not realizing who could make her so happy at this moment.
“Lili, you’re not making any sense.” Zhao Xinyi was confused to whom the person she was referring to. There were a couple of girls they’ve talked to during the journey.
“Brother, the person we just talked to earlier.”
“Who?”
Elizabeth no longer beat around the bush and decided to tell her brother. Despite she wishes to tease him more. “Liu Yifie.”
Zhao Xinyi felt like the world just collapse on him as he could no longer hear a thing, nor understand what she was telling him. Was fate really playing such mean tricks on him? How blessed was his sister that her prayer was answered?
“Brother!” She yelled noticing that he seems to be in a daze.
Zhao Xinyi did not know whether to be pleased or worried. He shook his head to snap himself back together. He looked directly at the girl and asked, “Lili, are you sure?”
“Brother, I have a photographic memory, even though I haven’t seen her for years, I would still know what she’ll look like.”
Hearing his sister worlds were like placing himself in front of a time bomb and it was about to explode. His mind went blank and didn’t know what to do. Just like being faced with a time bomb, should he cut the blue or red wire?
“What should I do?”
“Brother, calm down, I’ll think of something.”
Whilst the two of them continued to ponder on a solution, Long, Chou and some other guards arrived after searching for them.
“Young Master, Young Miss is something wrong?” Long asked.
“The Masters are all looking for you both,” Chou added.
“Tell them will roam around the resort first, you all can go have a break,” she answered.
“But Young Miss we were asked to watch over you.” Chou worriedly said.
“I’ll watch over her, all of you can go.” Zhao Xinyi declared.
“But Young Master…”
“It’s an order, go…” Zhao Xinyi firmly repeated himself showing authority in front of them all.
The guards then left the two alone as they headed back to where the other masters were and reported to them.
“Brother, do you really like her?” Elizabeth suddenly asked curiously how her brother really felt for the girl.
“Why are you asking this all of a sudden?”
“Just answer my question, do you like her?” She annoyedly repeated herself.
“Of course I do, why?”
“Then it’s time you tell her the truth before she hears it from someone else.”
“Are you crazy?” Zhao Xinyi felt a sudden headache hearing his sister’s words.
“Can you not yell at me, I’m just telling you the best option you have.” She fought back and raised her voice against her brother.
Whilst Zhao Xinyi continued to keep silent, her phone suddenly rang, “Dad?”
“Brother, we need to go back.” she looked at her brother and said, “Alright, we’re on our way.”
In one of the gardens, everyone was seated as they enjoy some snacks and the fresh breeze.
“Xinyi, where did you two go?” asked General Zhao.
“We went for a walk.”
“By the way, Xinyi…” Lady Zhao called for his attention, “Remember the girl you use to invite, I think I just saw her. She looked really beautiful now…”
“Who?” General Zhao asked.
“I can’t remember her name, didn’t you two go to the same high school.”
“We did.” Zhao Xinyi replied.
“Lizzy dear is something wrong?” Elder Lady Knightley asked noticing her upset face.
“Granny, I was just thinking…” Elizabeth acted all pitiful in front of everyone as she answered her in a low voice.
“What’s wrong, dear?” Elder Lady Knightley asked.
“I was wondering if either me and brother marry someone with a low status than us, who does not have any family connection. Would you all be against it?”
“Why, do you like someone with such upbringing Lizzy?” Elder Lord Knightley inquired.
“I’m just asking Granddad.”
“I’ll always support you and your brother whom every you marry dear.” Lady Zhao answered.
“…” Lord Knightley only nodded his head as he looked suspiciously at his daughter and wonder what she could be planning now.
“Your mother and father is right, as long as you love that person nothing wrong with it.” General Zhao added.
“Really?”
Elizabeth leaped in joy hearing her family’s words. Since she has confirmed everything, she now knows what to do.
“Lizzy dear, what’s gotten into you.” Elder Lady Knightley asked, startled that the girl beside her suddenly jumped.
She started giggling as she sat back on her seat, “Nothing Granny, I’m just so happy we’re all here.”
…
In Elizabeth’s private room
“Brother, I have a plan?” she said as she drags the man out of her room to the garden.
“Lili, what now?” Zhao Xinyi was confused as to what the girl was talking about. At the same time worried about what she on about.
“You heard what everyone said, they don’t mind.”
“Elizabeth Zhao Knightley! have you lost your mind!” He could no longer take his sister crazy idea and yelled.
“Quiet down, you’ll wake them up.”
“Lili, have you really lost it?” he sighed, about to lose his mind being infected by his sister craziness.
“Brother, you like her right, all we need to do is confirm if she likes you back.”
“How are we gonna do that?”
“By asking her,” she answered, thinking her brother has really low IQ that he can’t answer such a simple question.
“What?” he yelled, thinking his sister really has gone crazy for thinking of such stupid idea.
“I told you to quiet down or else there hear us.” she frowned.
“Sorry, but are you crazy?”
“No worries, I have a plan.”
Whilst the two were running down the hallway, someone was watching behind them smiling seeing how happy the two kids were. He wonders what his daughter was planning this time.
