Behind your Mask is a Beautiful Smile 123 She is...?

After she had finished cleaning the bobby pin, she bent it back to its original shape and clipped strands of her loosened hair up. "Let's go." she pulled his collar gently and pointed to the other side of the door. There wasn't much light in the short tunnel. It was rather dim. Everyone took out their cell phones and used it to guide the way.

When they reached the end of the tunnel, they realized it was split into three different directions.

"Which way is it?" People murmured behind Huan Hei and Ya Nuo. She rubbed her chin and an idea flashed through her mind.

"Hei! Walk over to all three routes and stay there for a brief minute for each. I need to smell the air." She excitedly demanded.

"Huh? Okay.." He thought it was weird for her to make such a request. Out of all the things she could've asked, she decided to breathe in air. Unknown to everyone, Ya Nuo always had a sharp sense similar to animals. Her instincts were never wrong, and that was how she determined whether the foods were cooked well or not.

He walked over to each route and stood there for a brief minute; allowing her to inhale the air. After sniffing the third route, she pointed to the route to their left, "Yang Qiu Rei was definitely here and went that way. Someone else was also with him."

Everyone scratched their heads in confusion, "How could you tell from just a few sniffs?" One of the guests asked curiously because he repeated what she had just done, but he couldn't distinguish the difference between the three routes.

"Well, the first hint is his overuse of hair gel. Second, his cologne stinks and is one of a kind because the only one that he used is customized to suit his liking. I hate that nasty scent. Third, well, the third is my accurate nose. The third reason is more than enough of an explanation. Let's go that route!" She pointed confidently and enthusiastically that nobody questioned her any further.

Huan Hei smiled seeing her adventurous behavior. 'She totally forgot that I was carrying her around. Good. Good. Well, even if she tries to get away, what I told her earlier should've done the trick.'

Ya Nuo missed the playfulness in his smile as she concentrated on the short trip. Once they've reached the end of the route, they exited to the underground parking lot. "This is it?" She grunted irritably. 'I got all worked up and even showed my special talents just to be led to the damn parking lot? Damn! That asshole isn't even here either! He must've escaped...'

"Looks like we were a bit too late." Hei whispered while watching her tiny expressions closely.

"Heh. Nope. We didn't." She gave a small laugh.

"Hmm? But there's nobody here." He looked around and saw nothing, but a vacant parking area.

"Come out. I know you're here. I could smell your light, Daisy perfume. That's the special edition from De Beaux Rêves. This scent is specially made from the rarest flowers and was once declared as the most heavenly scented perfumes in the world. It's irreplaceable and only the richest of the riches could get it, if they are lucky." Ya Nuo rubbed the tip of her nose and waited for the hiding person to reveal themselves.

Slowly, an elegant elder lady stepped out from the dark, "Sweetie, your nose is quite accurate." The lady wore a traditional royal blue gold floral embroidered lace Qi Pao that covered most of her legs. She had a graceful aura around her and made her feel approachable.

"Thanks for the compliment. Could you tell us why you were here?" Ya Nuo asked politely. The elderly lady got closer towards them and Huan Hei instinctively stepped backwards. He didn't know if she had any weapons or if she was a bad person. Regardless, he didn't want to risk anything because Ya Nuo was in his arms.

The elderly lady showed the most joyful and friendly smile, "Don't be scared. I won't bite. I'm here for my granddaughter's engagement party. I've known about this underground parking lot for a while since I used to be a frequent guest. There is a door on the other side over there that brings you to the waiting area." she pointed somewhere into the darkness. Zhen Qi flashed his cell phone light towards where the granny was pointing towards. There was, indeed, a door.

"Then why did you come through here and not the main entrance?" Ya Nuo couldn't believe in her words completely.

The elderly lady presented the gift that she prepared for her granddaughter's engagement party as proof and said, "That's a good question, but someone else will answer it for me. Right? H-u-b-b-y. I know you're there. Hiding behind our son wouldn't help!" She made sure her voice was majestic, loud and clear.

Grandpa Hoon cleared his throat, walked over to her side, and whispered, "Shhh, at home I can listen to whatever you want. At least here, let me maintain my reputation."

The elderly woman maintained her friendly smile, but her hand reached up and pinched Grandpa Hoon's ears. "Dear, would you like to explain w-h-y I have to come through this entrance? Hmm?"

Grandpa Hoon surrendered in the first seconds of her ear twist punishment, "Wife! My lovely wife! I was wrong! I told the staff to stall your time and not let you in. That's why you came through this entrance. Hahaha"

She clasped her hands, "Very well. That cleared my name up, didn't it? Now, where is my granddaughter? The one I loved and missed dearly?"

"Um... That would be me." Ya Nuo pointed her index finger at herself. She was amazed at how strong her grandma was making grandpa surrender in such short seconds. Ya Nuo always wanted to find Grandpa Hoon's weakness, but failed. Now, she knew the answer, his wife.

"Oh! So, you're my precious grandchild! Did granny give you a scare earlier? You must have been startled to see a shadow popping out of nowhere right?" The moment she heard that Ya Nuo was her long lost grandchild, she tossed Grandpa Hoon aside and forgot that he was there.

If Ya Nuo wanted to persist on the topic she would've asked Grandpa Hoon why he would order the staff to delay Grandma Hoon's time to the engagement party, but she didn't. The reason behind this is that she saw his sigh of relief that Grandma Hoon didn't drag on the topic. Meaning, he did this because he didn't want her to witness her son's true side. He didn't want her to get hurt. He wanted to protect her.

Grandma Hoon asked in concern, "Is this your fiance? Why is he carrying you? Are you hurt? Who hurt you? Grandma will give that person a taste of these cracking old bones!"

Ya Nuo laughed, "I'm fine. He's my fiance, and he thought that I was in pain because of the heel scratches. So he is carrying me."

Grandma Hoon clapped her hands in joy with the present in-between her hands, "Being young sure is nice. I remember back in those days, your grandpa used to dote on me and wouldn't let me do anything that could cause me any harm. Now that we are old and wrinkly... Sighhhhhhh"

"He doesn't love me anymore!" She covered her face and waited for someone to fall for her acting.

Seconds turned to minutes and nobody walked up to comfort her. That was when Grandpa Hoon decided to break the silence.

"Wife, isn't there something more important than showing your great acting skills? And don't joke around like that, what if people believed in your acting?"

"Fine, fine. You're no fun. Tch. My Yan Yan! Or do you have another name now? Hmm? Tell granny, how was your life for the past years? Ah, you're too skinny. You need to eat more! Let's go back to the engagement party. Granny is hungry."

Ya Nuo replied, "You can call me Yan Yan or Ya Nuo, whichever you prefer, granny. I'm glad you made it to my engagement party."

Grandma Hoon wanted to give her a hug, but since Hei was carrying her, she ended up hugging them both. During the few seconds of hugging, Ya Nuo sniffed Grandma Hoon and immediately determined that she wasn't alone before they got to her. When she sniffed the three routes earlier, there was another type of scent that she noticed, but didn't disclose to the crowd. Precisely, because that person had been amongst the crowd already and now... The scent is found on Grandma Hoon.

'Why is grandma covering for her?'
