"Mum!" Yang Zi shouted in surprise. Mrs Yang smiled satisfactorily when she saw their reaction. She loved the reaction she got from them.

"It was just a question, so why are you both acting so weird? Don't tell me you both are in love with each other?" Mrs Yang teased again. The doctor arrived just when Yang Zi wanted to reply. Because of her mum's question, she was too embarrassed to stare at Yifeng. The doctor told Yifeng to follow him to another ward since the ward Yang Mi was admitted in was occupied.

​​

Mrs Yang looked after sleeping Yang Mi while Yang Zi accompanied Yifeng to get treatment. Stepping outside the ward to receive treatment, Shiyi hid when he saw Yang Zi coming outside the ward in the company of Yifeng and the doctor. Shiyi had just arrived. He did nothing wrong, but he thought his presence might put Yang Zi in an awkward position. He only entered the ward when the three of them were out of sight. Shui Shui had an early morning shoot so she could not make it to the hospital, but she vehemently promised to drop by after her shooting scene was over. Mrs Yang was so elated to see Shiyi, they talked till Yang Zi returned, but not in Yifeng's company this time around.

"Wow! You are finally back. I almost rushed to welcome you earlier, but I held myself back when I saw who was beside you. You are practically glowing. I guess the five days' holiday did it's magic," Shiyi teased as he gave Yang Zi a warm welcome hug.

"You look much better than me, I guess your little wife did a good job in taking care of you while I was away," Yang Zi teased too. She was so delighted to see him.

"When are you going to stop referring to Shui Shui as my wife? I will hold you responsible if I remain single for forever. You are aware of that, right?" Shiyi asked, pretending to be displeased as he pulled away from Yang Zi's embrace.

"Once a wife, always a wife. Don't you know that?" Yang Zi teased more.

"Are you guys going to keep on fighting over such trivia titles? The both of you might wake Mi Er at this rate. Shiyi I am not saying you should not bicker with Zi Er but you can keep on fighting if your employees do not need you at the office today," Mrs Yang said. Shiyi immediately shut up when he heard Mrs Yang's words. He understood the hidden meaning behind those warning words. Yang Zi, who was not resuming work that day, chuckled when she saw Shiyi became quiet.

"Why are you so quiet? Don't tell me you have become this quiet because of Mi Er? You know you won't be able to go to work if dares wakes up, right? That is why you are this quiet," Yang Zi said, smiling.

"Don't worry, it's your turn this time around but I promise you, I won't go easy on you whenever it's your turn. I will admit defeat today for Mi Er's sake," Shiyi exclaimed defeatedly. He reluctantly sat down. Yang Zi also sat down, seeing Shiyi's sulking expression. His expression showed he would love to continue, but he couldn't with Mi Er around.

"You mentioned nothing about him, so did he go back?" Mrs Yang asked curiously.

"Him! The doctor said his body is too weak because of fatigue and fever. He did not want to receive treatment, but I forced him to do so. I went through so much trouble before he finally agreed. He is stubborn," Yang Zi narrated, frowning when she recalled the trouble she went through a while ago.

"That is why you guys are quite a match. You both are stubborn and unyielding. The two of you have so many similarities if I may say," Mrs Yang commented smiling.

"Mum, why are you suddenly siding with him when you've just met him? And I am not stubborn, I am too lovely to be compared to him or mum, have you seen any beautiful lady like me considered as being stubborn?" Yang Zi mentioned acting cute. Shiyi just watched her act all cute. He did not want to intervene between the mother and daughter's discussion.

Before he arrived, he was so damn worried about Yang Mi. In his wildest did he ever expect to meet Yang Zi there. He and Shui Shui were so worried about her. They couldn't embark on the journey like they planned because the heavy downpour did not stop on time. He was so delighted and relieved to see that she was alright and not pretending to be fine so as not to make them worry.

"Why wouldn't I have seen a beautiful lady like you labelled as being stubborn? In fact, I have two in my home or do you want me to show you who those two stubborn beauties are?" Mrs Yang joked gently pulling her nose. Yang Zi burst out laughing when she heard her jokes. They kept on talking and playing for hours.

"Shiyi, aren't you leaving yet? Mi Er might wake up soon. As you know hell will be let loose if she sees you here. She will do everything possible to make sure you don't leave, you know that, right?" Mrs Yang asked worriedly, taking another look at Yang Mi.

"I was just about to leave. Zi Er, don't forget to tell my cute baby that I dropped by. Tell her I will make sure I visit her later if I am not busy at the office," Shiyi said standing up to his feet.

"I will, she will be both angry and happy that you were here. You are her husband after all," Yang Zi said, standing up too.

"Mrs Yang, I will be on my way now," Shiyi said.

"Shiyi, I know you will be busy at the office but don't overwork yourself. Don't skip your meals. Take good care of yourself," Mrs Yang bid him goodbye with smiles.

"Mum, you know telling Shiyi not to skip meals is as if you are speaking to a wall right? He won't listen no matter how many times you tell him to look after his health," Yang Zi said, hugging Shiyi by the arm. She held onto Shiyi like that until they got to his car.
