"Wow! You guys have even kissed? You never said that before," Su Jin teased.

"Will you be serious for once? Don't piss me off more than she has already done or you will not like how I will react," Yifeng threatened fiercely. ​​

"Ok, time for serious business. From your earlier sentence I would have concluded that the lady was treating you like that because she hates you, but your last sentence makes me think otherwise," Su Jin paused to see whether Yifeng was listening to his words.

"What she meant by you should not treat her affectionately if you won't take responsibility for the consequences of your actions means that you shouldn't make her fall for you if you will not take responsibility for her feelings and I definitely agree with what this mysterious lady of yours says. Don't shake up her feelings if you are just gonna move onto another lady after you get what you want from her," Su Jin stated bluntly. He knew that his friend was not the type to get into any serious romantic relationship. He only enjoys the one night of pleasure he gets from the ladies he often had sex with.

"Why the serious tone bro, I don't mean any harm so just chill. And did you say she is sceptical about falling for me because she is scared that I will not reciprocate her feelings?" Yifeng asked. "Yang Zi is not the type of lady to fall for me. I can see it from the way she often stares at me, she despises me. She would never fall for me, I am sure of that. Anyway, I don't want her to fall for me, I would very much appreciate it if she treats me just as she treats Yuan Quan or even that jerk Yixian instead of the way she is treating me," Yifeng expressed gloomily.

"So this mysterious lady you always told me about is none other than your Secretary?" Jin asked mischievously. "I suspected that she was the one since the very day you started telling me about the lady who didn't even spare you a bit of her attention. There are rumours circulating in the company that you guys act like mortal enemies even though you see and talk to each other every day...,"

"We are not mortal enemies," Yifeng interrupted him coldly.

"I heard she is the only one who has ever stood up to you. Let me ask you something, Feng. What would have made the difference if she treated you like she treated Yuan Quan or Zhou Yixian? Or let me rephrase the question. What will you do if you succeed in making her fall for you? Will you date her or even think about marrying her?" Su Jin cross-questioned calmly as he stared at his friend, who suddenly kept quiet after he asked him the question.

"Feng, heed my advice and just stay away from that poor lady if you are just going to hurt her at the end. Let your curiosity or whatever you are feeling towards her end here if you will not commit to her. Although I barely know her since I don't normally visit you at your office. Her capability and reputation makes me know that she deserves more than just being your one nightstand," Su Jin warned him sternly. Even Yifeng was surprised to see his playful friend so sensitive for the first time in a long while. Su Jin quickly changed their discussion to an exciting and fun one just to lighten the mood. They kept on talking and laughing until Su Jin brought up the five days vacation everyone in BEST Enterprise headquarters would embark on in a week.

"Yifeng, I heard from my assistant that the announcement about our company's yearly Christmas vacation has been posted on the company's forum. I heard we are staying in your resort this year. Are you coming or not, as usual?" Su Jin asked anticipatingly.

"I don't think I will make it, as you know I am always busy around that time of the year," Yifeng said care freely.

"Why talk as if you have ever gone on the vacation before and what exactly always kept you so busy to the point that you always have to abandon your employees? I know that you are always busy because that is what you have always told me, but the truth is I don't know what always kept you so busy. Tell me, what are you always up to during that time every year?" Su Jin asked inquisitively.

"You don't have to know," Yifeng answered sharply, shattering Su Jin's hope of hearing his answer.

Yifeng and Su Jin kept on chatting in the restaurant's VVIP room until they both deemed that it was time to go home.

Yifeng who told Su Jin that he was heading home straight dropped by the Company to get something. It was when he arrived at the parking lounge that he saw Yang Zi and Yixian standing very close to each other. They were staring into each other's eyes passionately, or let's say it was his eyes that deceived him into seeing that they were staring at each other affectionately. He quickly drove out without getting what he was planning to get from his office when he saw them acting lovey-dovey.

Yifeng kept on chanting to himself that whatever she did with Yixian was none of his business as he drove on the busy road. The unchangeable fact was, no matter how many times he repeated those words to himself, he was really affected by what he saw.

The next day, when Yifeng came into his office, he saw Yuan Quan and Yang Zi working on some files he assigned to them the previous day. His expression was very gloomy. He did not even respond to Yang Zi and Yuan Quan's greetings. They both noticed the change in his mood at the same time.

"Yuan Quan, what is wrong with the Boss? Did something happen yesterday that I am not aware of? He is unlike his usual bright self," Yang Zi whispered to Yuan Quan so Yifeng will not hear their conversation.
