Chapter 201 - 200: Be My Guest!
Eunji then looked at the man beside her as she whispered, "When our little kids grew up, we will listen to them okay? I don't want to be a domineering type of parent. Also, I don't want to spoil them rotten to the point that they'll forget their manners and values."
"Of course, we will do that. With our guidance we'll make sure that they'll be a good and productive members of the society when they grew up." Nathan answered in a whisper while smiling at her.
Then Nathan turned his attention towards the audience.
"This will be the last time I'll hear your biased opinions and criticisms towards Eunji. Touch even a single strand of her hair and I'll make sure your entire family up to the next generation will pay for the sins you had committed."
"Hurting her through defamation was maybe not a crime punishable by law but I have every means to make sure you'll pay for every tear she had shed behind my back." Nathan finally finished his warning to everyone.
"Master Bai, may we have the honor to know why she's so important to you? She maybe a Jin. I'm sorry Young Master Bai but given the Jin Family's current situation now, they're no longer beneficial to you." A man on his senior years dared to ask Nathan not minding that Jin Jie was also present at the venue and listening to him.
For him, Nathan's decision on choosing Eunji was such a waste. A woman who had a low background would only be a burden for a man who was strong like Nathan. She would be the perfect target of his enemies.
(A/N:He really thought that Eunji was weak.)
"Mr. Fu, if you still want our company to invest in your projects, you better keep your mouth shut and don't question my decisions. I chose to be with her because she's my Eunji. Even if she's the poorest of the poor, I'll still choose to be with her! I'd rather lose everything I had now than losing her. I hope you get my point. After all, you are a married man yourself."
Nathan was subtly declaring Eunji's position in his life.
Nathan then ended it as he said, "She's my LIFE."
Maybe because she was touched by his words, Eunji turned around and bit her inner cheeks to stop herself from tearing up.
She then focused her attention to the grand piano which was sitting behind her.
"If there's nothing else, maybe we should let Miss Kim to play her music?" The EMCEE interrupted.
Nathan saw this as a sign for him to leave so he went down from the stage and got back on his seat.
He then looked at Eunji who was now placing her hands on the piano keys.
Eunji decided to play her cover of Liebesträume by Franz Liszt which meant 'dream of love'.
Everyone held their breath as they were mesmerized at how Eunji played the piece. It was so moving and encouraging.
Two could play the same piano piece but no one could replicate the same emotion and feelings being conveyed to the audience upon listening to the music.
Though the piece didn't showcase Eunji's piano playing skills, she at least moved the heart of the very important person in her life.
"Nathaniel Bai, I don't want to sound like a broken disk. But I hope you know that deep in my heart, I'll always love you. Circumstances may make us be apart in the future but know that I'll always find my way back to you." Eunji said after she finished her performance.
Nathan then immediately rushed to the stage and gave her a bone crushing hug in front of everyone present.
"Thank you for that heart-felt performance and very romantic message Miss Kim." The EMCEE interrupted.
"I believe that you both would have a prosperous and happy life ahead. Let love be the center of everything you do. An unselfish and unconditional kind of love is the best form of love." He then continued.
Nathan and Eunji decided to leave the venue early because Eunji still had to get ready for tonight's fashion show event.
Though her team had gone to the venue ahead of her, she should make sure that everything was perfect and should meet her standards.
"EJ! Master Bai!" Lex called her name the moment he saw Eunji and Nathan approaching.
"How are you guys? Is everything set for tonight?" Eunji asked Lex.
"Yes. We had already set up the cameras on their respective positions. We make sure that they'll capture the perfect angle for your liking." Lex reassured her.
While Lex was feeding her the details, Nathan decided to excuse himself to answer a client call.
After hearing that everything was okay, Eunji then gathered the team around and said, "Though it's still early but thank you for the hard work every one! Let's make this event a successful one."
Their talk was interrupted by the event director who came to ask Lex to assist her on something.
Eunji then dismissed the latter and the rest of the team as she made her way back to Nathan who was talking to someone from a distance. Maybe a potential client or an existing business partner.
But before she could even come closer to him, someone decided to block her way.
Eunji paused as she raised her left brow and looked at the person.
"May I speak with you, Mrs. Bai?" Aimee asked.
Eunji sighed as she made a nod and told the latter to show the way.
Aimee brought Eunji into one of the vacant rooms near the venue.
"Have a seat Miss Kim." Aimee said but Eunji ignored her.
"What do you want to talk about. As you can see, I am quite busy. I still have to go back." Eunji straightforwardly said.
She didn't like to beat around the bush.
"You sure are blunt, eh? You didn't want to beat around the bush." Aimee said as she leisurely took a seat in one of the vacant seats inside the room.
"I don't like to waste my time to unimportant matters especially related to irrelevant people." Eunji savagely said.
"Unimportant? Do you even know who I am?" Aimee asked her.
"Of course I know who you are and what you have done to my husband in the past." Eunji didn't hesitate to answer her.
Though she sounded possessive when she uttered the last part, Eunji didn't care as only her had the rights to call Nathan 'my husband'.
"Missus Park, what rights do you even have to invite me in this conversation?"
"Oh. Interesting. Is that how you got his attention, Miss Kim?" Aimee said but Eunji didn't show any reaction on her face making the former to be irritated.
"Then, tell me Missus Park how did you manage to captivate my husbands heart?" Eunji threw her question back at her.
Seeing that the latter was silent, Eunji used the opportunity to kind of irritate her.
"As far as I could understood from what my husband told me last time, you forced yourself to him right? You knew that he was reluctant to be involved in a relationship after suffering from his two failed relationships."
"So what? I did get him in the end. It's the end result that matters the most. Not the process." Aimee refuted.
"Aren't you afraid that I might take Nathan away from you?"
"Missus Park. Don't be ridiculous. Tell me, why should I? If I am not mistaken, Missus Park is already married to Mister Park, right? Then why are you poking your nose on the matter that is already unrelated to you?"
"My marriage was nothing but nominal. In fact, all of my marriage are. My family only saw me as a tool to gain benefits. To strengthen our family business by partnering to other families. That had been the normal practice, right?"
"Nathan and I...we've been together for quite a long time. We even almost got married and had a baby together."
"The baby that never got the chance to see the light of day, right?" Eunji interrupted her.
She didn't like were this conversation was going.
This woman was only wasting her time.
"Yes. It was Nathan and I's child. Sadly, I had to let it go because my body would not allow me to."
"What do you mean?"
"My body was not healthy for pregnancy that time." Aimee answered her.
'Then that means she didn't want to intentionally abort the baby.' Eunji thought.
"Why are you telling me all of these?" Eunji asked her the second time.
"I just want to give you a warning that Nathan might come back to me once I cleared out every misunderstandings that we had in the past." Aimee confidently said.
"I knew I had hurt Nathan when I chose to be with that bastard. Of course because he loved me dearly. And I believe his love for me was still there. And I'll make sure to let him realize that it's me that he wanted and not you!" Aimee added when she saw that Eunji was silent.
"Missus Park. Are you even hearing yourself? It was as clear as day whom Nathan loves now. You no longer have a place in his heart. And besides, are you taking Nathan as a fool? He already knew long ago who you are behind that sweet facade of yours."
Eunji took the opportunity and she sure didn't hold back.
"Go ahead! You may give it a try. But when you fail, don't come at me and say I didn't warn you." Eunji said as she turned around as she was ready to leave the room.
"Are you really that confident? Do you trust Nathan that much? After all, I had managed to sway his heart to like me in the past. I'm sure I still can when he know the truth." Aimee thought that she had successfully irritated Eunji by telling her provocative words.
But to her surprise, Eunji whose back was facing her was still relaxed and calm showing no shift of her emotion.
Eunji calmly turned around and face her and she said, "Then, are you really that confident that you could persuade my husband to go back to you? If you are, then, go ahead. Be my guest."
