“You said earlier that girls don’t like guys that are stuck up, so I am asking whether you don’t like brother Yifeng since you see him in such a manner,” Li Chen questioned shyly. Yang Zi was speechless for a second before she quickly composed herself.
“I will say everyone has their own preferences. Me not liking him does not mean that other ladies don’t like him. Li Chen, don’t tell your brother I said that he is a stuck up or I will get into trouble, alright? Let it be a secret between the two of us, Ok?” Yang Zi said, putting her index finger on her lips. Her reply disappointed Li Chen, who wanted to pair Yang Zi up with his brother, but he didn’t let it show.
“Yeah it will be our little secret. I will visit you in the office soon. Thank you so much, Miss Yang,” Li Chen said, smiling as he bowed in respect. Yang Zi could not help but notice that the little boy was way different from his brother. Apart from their looks, there was nothing similar to them. Their personality was similar at all.
She drove off immediately as the boy waved her goodbye. All his friends and classmates crowded around him immediately after Yang Zi left. They bombarded him with a lot of questions about Yang Zi’s relationship with him, which made him develop a headache. He only became free from all their pestering when he ran away.
…….
Yifeng, who called Yuan Quan through Yang Zi’s landline to take care of everything in the office during his absence, spent the entire day awaiting Yang Zi’s arrival. For some unknown reason, he really hated not having her around despite the bitter fact that she always picked on him. Yifeng did not realise that he got accustomed to having her around him. He was slowly falling for her like a fool.
After taking his drugs, he fell asleep on the couch, still hoping that she would be back. He woke up the next morning in an empty house. It was then he noticed that he fell asleep waiting for her return. Yang Zi on the other hand was awoken late at night by her usual nightmares.
She took that opportunity to design the little girl’s dress she sketched on her sketchbook since she had all the required materials and tools she needed in the Mansion. She was so happy that she did not wake Shui Shui up like she did last time. Without showering like she normally did, she quietly snuck out of the room with her sketchbook in her hand. She headed straight to her workroom, which Shui Shui and Shiyi personally decorated for her two years ago. After spending thirty minutes to cut the materials into required sizes, she went ahead to sewing it.
Being good at her work, she finished sewing everything in three hours. She was so damn tired when she finished, so she fell asleep resting her head on the messy table. Shiyi’s loud cheers of happiness woke up the sleeping Yang Zi. She walked out of the room into the long walkway. When she got to the sitting room, she saw Shiyi and Shui Shui chatting loudly with broad smiles on their faces. Shui Shui who was facing her quickly signalled Shiyi to hide whatever he was holding in his hands. Yang Zi could not help but notice them acting suspiciously as she took a seat close to Shiyi.
“Why are you guys acting so suspiciously? So unlike you guys,” Yang Zi exclaimed as she stared at the both of them suspiciously.
“Zi Er, Shiyi has a surprise gift for you, isn’t that so, Shiyi?,” Shui Shui asked as she winked at Shiyi. Shiyi nodded affirmatively to her question. The way they acted made Yang Zi even more curious.
“Shiyi, what surprise gift is your little wife talking about? Did you buy the latest Mercedes-Benz Maybach I showed you or did you buy something else that I will really love when I see it?” Yang Zi questioned curiously.
“That is far from it but you will definitely like what I prepared for you. Count to three and I will show you,” Shiyi insisted as he exchanged secret glares with Shui Shui. Shui Shui and Shiyi pretended as if they did not hear the teasing part of her question, which she referred to Shui Shui as Shiyi’s wife.
“Ok, 1… 2…3,” Yang Zi counted hurriedly.
“Surprise…,” Shiyi and Shui Shui chorused immediately after Shiyi revealed his gift. Yang Zi was very surprised and shocked at the same time. She hugged Shiyi tightly to express how pleased she was by his surprise gift.
“I love you guys very much. I cannot express how happy I am to know that I am just a few steps away from achieving my lifelong dream. I don’t know what I would have done without the both of you by my side,” Yang Zi said, feeling overwhelmed.
“We are happy as long as you are happy. We are also glad to have you in our lives,” Shiyi spoke for the both of them.
“Shiyi has already tested SPY before you woke up and it’s superb,” Shui Shui replied, giving Shiyi thumbs up for a job well done. “It can detect sounds from far away. It’s sense of alertness when a stranger is approaching within the specified radius is amazing. And the best part of it is that it freezes any CCTV cameras within the specified radius. It can open even the most highly secured password or anything related to technology. I was so amazed at what this negligible thing can do,” Shui Shui relayed excitedly. Her eyes were glittering in excitement as she spoke.
“That is splendid. So this means today marks the beginning of my war with Zhou Yixian. I really want to have a practical test on what this thing can do, which makes me suggest that I will break into that bastard’s hotel room in Lover’s Deep hotel this Friday,” Yang Zi declared smiling devilishly.
“Sounds fun, I will accompany you while Shiyi will watch our back as always,” Shui Shui replied elatedly. Yang Zi who wasn’t planning to take Shui Shui along with her since it was dangerous did not have the heart to say no when she saw how happy she was. They did not even finish their conversation before Yang Zi’s cell phone rang. When she checked, she saw that Yixian was the caller.
“Speak of the devil,” Yang Zi remarked before she answered the call. She deliberately put the call on loudspeaker with the aim that Shiyi and Shui Shui will listen to what he was saying too.
“Hello honey, how could you be this heartless not to have called your darling even once in a whole one week? Do you want to see your sweetheart go crazy because of you?” Yixian demanded. Shui Shui almost threw up when she heard his words. She did not find his words funny at all.
