Elizabeth just arrived at the meeting place for their first promotion tour for the movie. Loads of fans and media personnel gather around the place.

w.a.n.g Ji stepped out of the car first as he and Jiang Ru blocked the fans and reporters. The girl stepped out of the car with a smile on her face and greeted all of them. They then threw loads of questions at her.

"Miss Li Zi, are the rumors about you and President Stanford true?"

"Miss Li Zi, what is your current relations.h.i.+p with Huang Ming. Both of you are voted top celebrity couples. Are the rumors of you two secretly dating true or not?"

"Miss Li Zi! Can you please clarify everything for us."

Elizabeth ignored all of them for w.a.n.g Ji told her not to answer any of the reporters' questions. For Huang Ming too has already been briefed not to answer any of the questions.

"Bro w.a.n.g, I'm sorry."

"Don't worry about it. Let's just hope President Stanford does not do anything stupid and cause more heat." w.a.n.g Ji said.

It was not even a minute that gone by when w.a.n.g Ji wished turned to ashes. Stepping out of a black Maybach was the man whom they didn't wish to see. He stepped out of the car holding onto a bouquet of pink lilies. He pushed his way through the crowd and approached the girl who was about to enter the building. 

"What are you doing here?" Elizabeth's expression turned cold whilst keeping the same smile on her face.

"I came to give you this, aren't they your favorite flowers. I wish to be the first one to wish you the best of luck on your promotion tour." Jayden Stanford handed the flowers to the girl.

"Thank you, but you don't need to do this."

"Liz, why are you doing this? Weren't you the one who said everyone needs a second chance. I'm only trying to be your friend again but why can't you give me a chance. Didn't you lie to me too... I mean, you deceived me by keeping who you are from me. Yet, I forgive you and accepted you no matter what."

Elizabeth became speechless and didn't know how to respond to all the man's complaint.

"So, just give me a chance. Come on! All I'm asking is for you to forgive me. But forgive me not because you wish to get rid of me. Also, give me a chance to be your friend again."

"Fine, so can you go now," Elizabeth responded furiously that she had no choice but to agree to the man's request.

Jayden Stanford was overjoyed and did not hold back and embraced the girl. The girl was baffled by the situation as she pushed him away.

"What are you doing?" Elizabeth frowned and became even more furious.

"I'm sorry, don't worry... I'll clear everything up." Jayden Stanford said as he turned around to face the media and fans. "Everyone, the rumors of me and Miss Li Zi being lovers are not true. We are just old friends. We both studied at the same university. So please, don't ruin our long friends.h.i.+p by spreading false stories."

w.a.n.g Ji felt like punching the man. 'B*stard, why did you need to ruin Li Zi's image further. Your words are not reliable you b*stard! Old friends my a**! Now they'll really dig more information about you two.'

"President Stanford, are you saying that both of you are just good friends?"

"President Stanford, could it be that you like Miss Li Zi but still have not won her affection?"

"Miss Li Zi, has President Stanford courted you since your University days?"

w.a.n.g Ji grabs the opportunity and pulled the girl out of everyone's sight. Liying and Jiang Ru rushed inside as well leaving Jayden Stanford with the media and fans.

Once they were out of sight from everyone, w.a.n.g Ji exploded in anger.

"THAT B*STARD! WHAT WAS HE THINKING? WHY DIDN'T HE JUST KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT!"

"Bro w.a.n.g calm down." Elizabeth tried her best to comfort the man.

"It seems Manager w.a.n.g woke up from the wrong side of the bed today."

The four of them turned around and saw the young man walking towards them.

"Huang Ming, you better zip it!" w.a.n.g Ji fiercely looked at the young man.

Huang Ming ignored the man and walked closer to the girl. He grabbed her hand and asked, "Are you alright?"

"Hmm, I'm fine, why?" Elizabeth faced the man and inquired.

"Nothing..."

Elizabeth notice the concern in Huang Ming's eyes. Her conversation with everyone earlier in the car suddenly struck her. 'Should I tell Bro Ming?'

"Bro Ming, do you want to go with me somewhere later?"

"With me?"

"Yes, are you free later?" she asked again.

"Sure, I mean... Yeah, I'm free... But why all of a sudden?"

"I'll explain everything later."

Huang Ming was perplexed by what just happened. He looked at w.a.n.g Ji with such curiosity on his face. "What just happened?"

"Don't ask me." w.a.n.g Ji answered as he went and followed the girl.

On top of the stage, the main cast of all stood on top as they greeted their fans. Hundreds of fans have gathered to celebrate with them the success of the movie and its upcoming release on cinema. The cast of the movie prepared a small performance for everyone.

Afterward, they all gathered together as they headed to a TV broadcasting studio. They were the guest for the program and to promote the movie as well.

"Alright everyone, today our guest is none other than the cast for the movie ." The host of the program said.

As the cast walked in the arranged set, they greeted the audience as they took their a.s.signed places. The host of the program, then introduces each of the cast as they start the show.

It was not a live show and would be released within the next few days.

"As you know, we have predicted each of you will win an award this year. How do you guys feel about that?"

"If each of us wins an award this year, then I'll post a picture of my baby." William Chen declared.

"Hmm, then I'll announce my engagement then." Zheng Mi added.

Then the host turned his attention to the two hot stars of the movie who hasn't spoken a word at all. "How about you Huang Ming, Li Zi, if you win an award for the best second male lead and second female lead, what will you do?"

"If I win..." Huang Ming thought for a moment as he looked at the girl next to him. "Then, one that day, when I receive the award, I'll be a man and do something so bold."

The audience and even the cast was excited as to what the young man meant. Seeing he was looking at the girl could only mean it has something to do with her.

"Then, Li Zi, how about you?" The host asked.

"Then, I too will finally make my decision," Elizabeth answered without specifically stating what decision she'll be making. Right now, she has a lot of things she needs to make up her mind. Announcing her ident.i.ty and deciding who she'll be with.

"Li Zi, what do you mean?" The host inquired.

"You all just have to wait and pray that I win the award to know what I mean." Elizabeth answer.

After completing the whole program segment. They all step out of the set and greeted the audience and took pictures with them. Then, they all got ready again to prepare for the last stop on their to-do list on their schedule. 

"Junior Li Zi." Long Yiyi called out for the girl as she hastily approached her seeing no one was with her.

"Senior Long, is something wrong?"

"Nothing, I was wondering if you wish to join me. I mean, we are on lunch right now. I'm meeting with some friends." Long Yiyi said.

But before she could even answer a voice from behind them echoed.

"My dear daughter, I've been looking for you. Come, we don't want to keep my wife waiting." William Chen approached the two girls acting all surprised to see Long Yiyi. "Oh, Junior Long, is something wrong?"

"Nothing, Senior Chen. If you excuse me." Long Yiyi walked away all furious that her plan was ruined again.

"Little girl, you better be careful. A snake can always shed her skin but they will always be a snake." William Chen said looking displeased as he watched the girl walk away.

"Senior Chen, do you really think she hasn't changed?"

"Little one, a proud girl like her can never easily let go of the past. Only when she sees the people who outs.h.i.+ne her turns to dirt, will she be satisfied. So be careful."

"Senior Chen right," Huang Ming added as he approached the two, relieved that the man came to the girl's rescue. "Li Zi, I told you to stay away from her."

"Bro Ming, Senior Chen, do you really think I can't handle myself?" Elizabeth looked at both of them curiously.

Huang Ming who knew about the girl's ident.i.ty found it hard to answer her question. So in the end, he ended up saying. "Of course, who do you think you are compared to her. She an heiress and you're just..."

"What Little boy means, your two kind heart whilst she an evil witch. We know you can handle yourself but it's better to be careful." William Chen tap the young man on his shoulder. Whilst giving him the look that he was about to blow his cover. "So, Little one, please be careful."

"If you say so," Elizabeth said as she went ahead and looked for her team.

"Little boy, you almost blew your cover." William Chen said as soon as the girl was out of sight.

"What do you mean?" Huang Ming acted clueless of everything.

"Boy, I ain't stupid not to realize who she is too. On the day her mother visit I already knew who she is." William Chen directly told the boy. 

"I..."

"It's fine... I know you're having problems too. Your face with two young heirs over her. But if you really love her, just continue loving her. Who knows, one day she might realize how much you mean to her."

"Senior, thank you."

"Little boy, don't worry about it. I believe you'll be good to her. If not, I'll come looking for you and bury you alive. Well, if I don't get to bury you then her family will"

Huang Ming couldn't even speak nor laugh realizing what William Chen meant. Her family is so overprotective of her and someone like him. Will they even approve of someone like him? 'Li Zi, why did you have to come from a daunting family.'
