Chapter 98 - Wearing Matching Attire

Someone amongst the crowd suddenly yelled aloud when he notices the person on top of the staircase.

"Everyone, look..."

On top of the staircase, was the person everyone has been anticipating to meet all night.

The girl was dressed in an elegant, magical evening gown. Her dress looked like the sky above, sparkling with millions of stars. The dress was styled in a strapless neckline in a fitted bodice. The sparkling and shimmering crystals highlight the dress with a splash of them on the embroidered bodice running all the way to the skirt. A double layer of sheer tulle adds glamorous volume to the galaxy blue maxi skirt.

However, the girl true beauty was hidden under the well-carved patterned mask and her long beautiful light golden hair.

Everyone was taken aback seeing how mesmerizing the girl beauty was. Despite, they can't see what she truly looked like, they can sense that she really is the daughter of Lord Knightley and Lady Zhao for she has the same noble aura in her.

"My gosh, the Young Princess is so beautiful. I can understand now why her family hides her so well, she is just beautiful. People will just flock around her all the time..."

"Her dress is so beautiful... I wonder how many diamonds are on her dress. It's sparkling like the night sky. She is so beautiful."

When the young man saw the girl on top of the staircase, his eyes were all fixed on her. His heart started beating for no reason, which made him confused. For some reason, the girl aura and presence felt so familiar to him.

Yun Shen meets the girl halfway the staircase as he welcomes her.

Even though he was annoyed with the situation, seeing how well mannered the boy was he couldn't be happier.

"You have indeed had a good son, President Yun."

Lady Zhao was surprised hearing her brother completing the young man when he was one of the people against him. "Does this mean brother approved of the Young Master Yun?"

General Zhao chuckled as he looked at his sister directly in the eye. "Ha- My dear sister, even if I do approve of him... Even the man who wishes to have him as a grandson-in-law seems to be not pleased. Looked at the father of your beloved daughter."

When the Yun couple and elder notice the deadly stare the two men where expressing towards their boy. They became frightened and worried for him all of a sudden.

It then surprised the guest when they notice something odd between the Young Princess and Young Master Yun.

"Look, they are wearing matching attire. Oh my gosh... Does this mean that there is something going on between them?"

"Wait, isn't Lord Knightley and Lady Zhao wearing the same shade color as them as well."

Everyone was in commotion as they murmured to each other.

As the two of them descended to the ground.

Elizabeth gracefully greeted everyone. "President Yun, Madam Yun, thank you for welcoming us and sorry for not joining you last time for dinner."

"Young Princess, it's fine. We are grateful for your presence tonight. By the way, this is my father Yun Yahui." President Yun replied.

"Young Princess, a pleasure to meet you." Elder Chairman Yun greeted the young girl standing beside his grandson.

Elizabeth was surprised to meet Yun Shen's grandfather, she heard rumors that the old man disappeared. To think he'll suddenly return on such occasion. "Elder Chairman Yun, I'm honored to meet you. Please, just call me Elizabeth or Lizzy."

"Then no need to be formal, just call me Grandpa Yun."

Hearing what the old man just said fueled the rage in the old man and father. Since they weren't allowed to voice out since the woman was glaring at them like she was pointing a gun right in front of their head. They vented their frustration within them instead.

'How dare you steal my granddaughter? I am her one and only Grandpa...'

'Declaring yourself as my daughter grandfather when I have not even agreed to anything. It seems you have a death wish old man... I don't care if your grandson helped my daughter.'

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Madam Yun approached the girl and greeted her. "I'm so happy that you're here tonight, I must thank you for your surprise present last time…"

"Madam Yun, it's my way of thanking you for helping me last time as well." She smiled.

Yun Shen, who was standing behind them ponder as he listened to the girl's voice. He thought for a second it was the same person that he was thinking of. But their voices are totally different, maybe because Li Zi was being compared to Lady Zhao he thought it was the same person.

Elizabeth noticed that Yun Shen seems to have not recognized her at all. The fact that she changed her voice using the voice changer hidden under her ribbon neck collar. She then faces the man and bowed to him, "Young Master Yun forgive me for my attitude last time, also thank you for helping me."

"It's alright." Yun Shen replied a bit disappointed seeing he got the wrong person.

Lord Knightley could no longer take the sight of her daughter acting cute and adorable in front of the young man as he grabbed a hold of her hands. "Come now, we shouldn't keep the guest wait."

Lady Zhao wishes to burst out laughing but couldn't when her husband raised his brow at her. She giggled softly and thought.

'Don't worry darling, I'll love you no matter what. I know you adore our daughter more than you adore me. Well, I do too, but I won't do what you just did. To think you'll steal your daughter away from the young man.'

Elizabeth went along with her father, leaving the young man to watch her face the two-faced crowded who are eager to gain a connection with them as well.

...

As President Yun welcome all the guest and informed everyone about the upcoming project and his father return. He was only left to announce the biggest news of the night, "Now, let me introduce the Chief Director of the project my eldest son Yun Shen."

The young man went up to the center and gave a simple message to everyone. Since it was made official that he will be the Chief Director. After his speech loads of young heiresses surrounded him asking him personal questions.

Whilst his family continued to grow hatred towards him as they watch him being praised by everyone.

"Weiwei, where is Lili?" General Zhao asked noticing the girl was no longer in his sight of range.

Lady Zhao looked around and was surprised not to see the girl as well. "I don't know..."

"Winston..." Lord Knightley looked at his personnel signaling him to look for the girl but in a casual manner and not to alarm everyone.

"Stop worrying, it's not as if she runs away with Shen..." Lady Zhao teased the two shocked to see them glaring at her from what she said.

"Weiwei, this is the first time Lili is attending such an occasion. Can you be more worried about your own daughter?" General Zhao sighed annoyed with his sister's words.

Lady Zhao, of course, was worried for her daughter, especially that the Longs were around. She feared something bad will fall upon her again, "I am her mother, of course, I am worried for her. I have not slept a wink last night thinking of all the possibilities that will happen tonight. The worst is that the Longs are here, I was worried as well of what they'll do."

"Unlike you, I wish my daughter to stand on her own. I know it isn't necessary, for we are here to protect her. She is our pampered princess but let's not forget she is the daughter of the Knightley and Zhao family. She has the blood of the strongest family in Imperial and the world. So stop worrying, she will be fine... If something does happen, will always be there to support her."

Lord Knightley didn't hold back and grabbed his wife by her waist and moved her closer towards him as he planted a kiss on her lips, "You always good with your words..."

Despite the crowd, Lady Zhao was not worried to kiss her husband back and said, "And you're always good with your action..."
