Trial Of Love Chapter 276 - Any Leads?

After Yun Shen finished cooking everything, the three of them sat down together to enjoy the food they've prepared. 

"Little Yan, eat slowly you'll choke yourself." Elizabeth removed the rice on the little girl's corner lip and wipe the smug on her face. 

"When did you move here?" 

Elizabeth was struck by Yun Shen's question. What's worse is she doesn't know how to explain her situation. How could a simple actress like her afford such a place? 

"Thanks to the Zhao and Knightley I could afford this place. They said it their way of compensating me for what happened before." 

Elizabeth notice Yun Shen seems to be buying her excuse. She just hoped he won't ask her any further questions. 

Yun Shen smiled within... At least the girl used her family as an excuse for why she is living alone. 

"Anyway, you and Little Yan are the first to visit me. So…" 

Before Elizabeth could finish her words, she notices the strange expression on both of their faces. 

'Are they that happy to be the first one to visit me?'

"Hmm…" Yun Shen continued to finish his food and glanced at the girl from time to time with a big smile inside. To think he was the first person to cook for the girl and the first person to visit her home. 

Whilst Elizabeth was clearing up, Yun Shen went over to help her. 

"Let me." 

"Shen it's fine, I can do it…" 

Elizabeth tried to grab the plates from the man, but because of the height difference she was unable to reach it and soon both of them were glued to each other. 

Both of them froze as they felt each other's body up close. Yun Shen looked down as he gazed into the woman's eyes. A strange feeling and desired arouse as he glanced at the woman's reddish lips.

Elizabeth looked up and saw the warmth in the man's eyes. Her heart started to skip as her hand pressed onto the man's chest. She felt the man's beating heart as well as her face started to flush in seconds. 

"I-"

Yun Shen face started to move closer to the woman's face. His own body moved on its own without him realizing...

Elizabeth panic as she didn't know what to do, she notices the man's face slowly closing onto hers. As she closes her eyes to what's about to happen, she clenched her fist as she prepared herself. 

'Is Shen really going to kiss me? What should I do?'

Yun Shen notices the girl's eyes were shut close as he too slowly closes his eyes as he moved his lips closer to the woman. 

"Auntie!"

It startled both of them to hear the little girl's voice echoed behind them. They both turned to face her with such a fl.u.s.tered expression. 

Elizabeth quickly left Yun Shen as she runs to the little girl and carried her. 

'd.a.m.n it, that was so close...'

Yun Shen watched as the woman escapes, leaving him in a daze of what just happened. He was almost so close yet still so far. He sighed and retreated as he turned around to do what he intended to do, to begin with...

'Hmm, I can always wait.'

Little Yan looked at her Auntie curious as to why her face was so rosy. She glanced at her father and notice his ears were reddish too. She ponders what could have happened as to why both of them looked so feverish. 

'Is Auntie and father sick?' 

After Yun Shen finished doing the dishes and properly cleaned the kitchen, he went to join the two girls who were happily watching a movie. 

"Little Yan, it's time to go home." 

Little Yan was reluctant to go, but she understands that she needs to let her Auntie rest. 

"Okay." 

Elizabeth hastily got up and kissed the little girl on the cheeks. "Baby, once Auntie is not busy you can come and play with Auntie again. But tonight, you need to be a good girl and listen to your father, okay?"

"Okay Auntie, Little Yan will be good." Little Yan wrapped her arms around her Auntie as she embraces her for the night. 

Elizabeth walked the two of them out of the building. 

Outside, Yun Shen's car has arrived to pick them up. 

Yun Shen seated Little Yan first before he entered the car. He turned to face the girl and bid her farewell. "We'll be going then." 

Elizabeth gave off a sincere smile as she faced the man. "Shen, take care." 

As Elizabeth was about to walk back to the building, surprisingly someone suddenly grabbed hold of her hand. It surprised her when she felt an arm wrapped around her waist. Immediately, her heart started to skip dumbfounded about what's happening. 

"Just a moment."

Elizabeth was confused to the man's sudden request. She reached out her hands to grab hold of his. She wished to face the man, but she didn't have the courage at the moment. 

"Is something wrong?"

"Just stay like this." Yun Shen soft, husky voice whispered near the woman's ears. 

A few minutes had pa.s.sed by and the two were still statued together with each other. 

"Shen, Little Yan..." Elizabeth spoke up noticing quite some time has already pa.s.sed by and she worries in case people might see the two of them. 

"Alright then." Yun Shen replied, sounding downhearted as he releases the girl. 

Elizabeth turned around to face the man and notice the distressed look on his face. "Is something wrong?"

"Nothing." 

Elizabeth curiously looked at the man as he went back to his car. As the car drove away that night, she continued to gaze at the car as it disappeared in front of her sight. Strangely, as the car vanished, she felt a tight feeling inside wis.h.i.+ng for the man not go. 

'Why do I feel so sad?'

Elizabeth didn't ponder on it longer as she returned to her apartment. 

Meanwhile, Little Yan continues to gaze at her father who seems to be upset since the moment he entered the car. She wonders why her father was looking so distress. She removed the around her as she moved closer to the man to comfort him. 

"Father, it's alright..."

Yun Shen was surprised when his daughter suddenly approached him with a comforting look on her face. "Hmm."

"Little Yan is here for you." Little Yan placed her hand onto her father's as she looked sincerely at him. 

"Thank you."

Yun Shen grabs the little girl and seated her on his lap. He wraps his arms around her as his mind continues to picture the woman earlier. His heart was aching at the moment that he needs to let her go again. How he wishes he could stay with her forever. 

When they arrived at Country Town, Little Yan was fast asleep. Yun Shen brought the little girl to rest in her room, once done, he went to his office. 

"Tell me you found any leads?" Yun Shen asked the person on the other end. 

"Boss, your request isn't that easy. Why don't you just ask Lord Knightley for help?" 

Yun Shen already expects things won't be easy. His own father and grandfather have tried their best and even asked the help of the Feng family but still no clue about the person who tried to kidnap Little Yan. 

"No, I can't do that..."

"Boss, to be honest, it will probably take us a few months to find out who's after your family. If the Feng family can't even trace them, what more can we... Which could only mean that the person after you is quite powerful? I mean, they might be able to challenge the Zhao family as well." 

Yun Shen already foresaw the possibility that the person might be as powerful as the Feng and Zhao family. But what kept him ponder is why they are after someone like the Yuns? 

Could his uncles made a deal with this person?

Is Kong Jingyi the person who asked them to kill us?

Yun Shen has already listed the reason as to why his family would do something as harm him, his brother and Little Yan. But kidnapping and killing he doubts his family has the guts to do such an act. Which could only mean someone asked help from another powerful clan for help? 

"Find out who they are before the end of the year, I don't have much time left."
