"Yang Zi, what a coincidence! I can't believe we accidentally ran into each other in this crowded place," Yifeng remarked, giving Li Chen a stern glare for wanting to ruin his plan.

"Is it really a coincidence? I can't tell," Yang Zi exclaimed, turning to face Li Chen. "Hey, Chen, we met again," Yang Zi said, beaming at him. "She is so damn nice to Chen? Have they met before?" Yifeng thought, staring at the two merry fellows.

​​

"Have you guys met before?" Yifeng asked inquisitively.

"That is a secret," Chen exclaimed, still smiling at Yang Zi.

"Why are you staring at her like a love-struck fool? Don't tell me you have a crush on her? You are too young for that," Yifeng whispered into Chen's ears. Chen pretended as if he did not hear his teasing.

"Hey, who are you? Are you Mister's son?" Yang Mi who felt ignored asked cutely.

"What?" Li Chen exclaimed in shock when he heard the girl's question. He knew he resembled his brother, but how could the girl think he was his brother's son? Yifeng and Yang Zi were surprised too, but they didn't utter any words. They wanted Chen to be the one to give the explanation.

"I am Li Chen. He is my brother, not my father like you imagine," Li Chen clarified, staring at the cute Yang Mi who was wearing the same clothes as Yang Zi.

"And who are you?" Chen questioned, glaring from her to Yang Zi. From looks he could feel that she resembled Yang Zi, but he did not want to make assumptions. He and his brother look alike but that doesn't mean that they were father and son, that is why he did not want to conclude quickly.

"Oh! So you are Mister's little brother," Yang Mi said in realisation. As they were talking Yifeng was also talking to Yang Zi. "It's nice to meet you. I am Mister's favourite baby Yang Mi, but you can call me Mi Er like all my friends do. This is my mum," Yang Mi relayed smiling at him as she held Yang Zi's hand.

"Your mum!" Li Chen asked in awe. The first time he met Yang Zi, in his wildest imagination, did he guess that a beautiful and kind-hearted lady like her was a mother?

"Yeah, is there a problem?" Yang Mi asked innocently. Inwardly she smiled, seeing how flabbergasted the boy looked.

"Chen, no need to keep on interrogating Mi Er. You have all the time to get to know her. We are here to celebrate and not to answer a bunch of questions," Yifeng interrupted them.

"Mi Er, this might have come late but happy birthday," Yifeng said, squatting to hug her. He hand the gift he bought to her.

"Thank you so much, Mister," Yang Mi said responding to his hug.

"Happy birthday too, Mi Er," Li Chen chided in handing her the shopping bag.

"Thank you, Chen. I can't believe you even got a gift for me," Yang Mi said happily collecting the bag from him. Yang Zi turned to face Li Chen after he was through wishing Yang Mi happy birthday.

"Happy birthday Chen. I didn't expect to meet you here so I don't have a gift for you at the moment but I will send it through boss. I hope you don't mind?" Yang Zi said.

"Thank you Miss Yang. I am so happy you recalled my birthday," Chen said feeling so overwhelmed. He felt so happy that Yang Zi knew his birthday when he had not told her anything about it.

"Hey, if you are Mister's little brother that means your birthday is today too so happy birthday Chen," Yang Mi said smiling at him.

"Thank you," Li Chen said smiling at her but his happy expression soon changed to a curious one as though something has pop up into his head.

"Mi Er, I am just curious. Why do you keep calling Brother Feng, Mister?" The inquisitive Chen asked.

"Mister and I are very close and so he is with mum. I have been thinking about how to address him too. With how close our relationship is, I think it is inappropriate for me to keep calling him Mister," Yang Mi relayed, staring at Yifeng whose attention was now focused on them.

"I have been thinking of many titles to call him since the last time I met Mister. I came up with a very suitable one for him," Yang Mi said, grinning from ear to ear mischievously. From her expression, Yang Zi could guess that she was up to some mischief.

"And what is the perfect title you came up with?" Yang Zi asked, giving her a suspicious glare.

"Father," Yang Mi exclaimed, smiling. Yifeng and Yang Zi's mouth dropped open in shock. Li Chen was not saved from the shock too. From the few minutes they have met, she has surprised him so many times. He could see that Yang Mi was a mischievous girl, and he liked that about her. "She is so similar to me. I think the both of us will get along well," Chen assumed, staring at her.

"Mi Er, what did you just call him? I believe I might have heard you wrong?" Yang Zi asked with a mixture of surprise and anger. She knows how mischievous Yang Mi is but in her wildest dream has it ever crossed her mind that she will used the sacred word FATHER as a play thing.

Yang Mi quickly ran to hide at Yifeng's back when she saw that her sister got annoyed by her word.

Yifeng was in shock. He did not know whether to rejoice or cry. He just stared at the scared Yang Mi, unable to utter a word.

"Why are you hiding? Didn't you hear when I told you to repeat what you just said?" Yang Zi asked, staring at her.

"Mum, I am sorry for making you mad. I was just kidding. I didn't mean it," Yang Mi apologised timidly, still hiding.

"Yang Zi, don't get mad. You know how funny Yang Mi can be. I believe that she was just joking like she had said," Yifeng defended the poor Yang Mi when she refused to let go of his sleeve.

"Yes, Miss Yang. Brother Feng is correct. I sometimes joke around with my brother so I am sure that is exactly what Mi Er was doing. Please pardon her," Li Chen pleaded on her behalf too. Yang Zi took turns in glancing from Yifeng to Chen. She was baffled that they both genuinely liked Mi Er. Her heart warmed up, realising this. Her anger slowly diminished. She could not help but think that maybe she was doing the wrong thing by trying to keep her away from him.

"Why does it feel like I am the bad guy now?" Yang Zi asked, staring at the three of them. She was angry when she told Yang Mi to repeat what she said, but she wasn't planning to spank her.

"No, you are not," they all exclaimed in unison.

"You are not bad. You are the sweetest si....," Yang Mi covered her mouth with her hand to stop the last word from coming out. "You are the sweetest mum in the universe," Yang Mi corrected herself, giving Yang Zi a thumbs up.

"You are such a silly baby girl," Yang Zi exclaimed, smiling as she pulled Yang Mi to herself. Li Chen and Yifeng smiled along too when they saw that Yang Zi was no longer mad.

"I guess that can be considered as a charm," Li Chen replied, smiling at them.

"Chen, let's play. Let's leave mum and brother Feng to bond. I think we are interrupting them from doing and saying whatever they have in mind," Yang Mi said naughtily as she dragged Li Chen by the hand.

"Don't run too far," Yang Zi shouted after them.

"She is so adorable. I can feel that she and Chen will get very close after today's outing," Yifeng said, turning to stare at Yang Zi. Yang Zi's gaze turn a stern one after the kids left them alone.

"Yifeng, tell me was it a coincidence or did you have your men tail me?" Yang Zi asked him with a stern gaze.

"Tail you? Where did you get that from?" Yifeng questioned not answering her question.

"I was just asking. No offense," Yang Zi replied walking away.

"How are you? Have you visited your doctor after the incident? Did he tell you any method to overcome your trauma? I am more than willing to help you with it if you don't mind," Yifeng advised, catching up to her. Yang Zi instantly halted instantly as she heard Yifeng's question. She turned to face him.

"Do you like me that much?" Yang Zi asked rhetorically. "To the point that you will let me use you even though you know I don't like you back?"

"You can't say you are using me and it doesn't matter whether you don't like me now. All that matters is that I like you very much and I want to help you live a normal life," Yifeng stated firmly, staring into Yang Zi's eyes. At that instant he wished he could read what was on her mind. He wished he could open her heart and see what her feelings were for him.

"Did you mean what you have just said. I can use you any time, anyhow and wherever I want as long as it is to cure my trauma and you won't get angry?" Yang Zi asked doubtfully. She avoided his gaze like she normally did.

"Yes, I mean every word I said," Yifeng replied unfazed. Yang Zi closed the gap between. Yifeng was surprised and curious to see what she was up to but he didn't say any words.

"Even when I do this?" Yang Zi asked as she wrapped her hands around Yifeng's neck. Yifeng eyeballs were at the verge of popping out when he realised what Yang Zi was up to. "Is she out of her damn mind? We are in a public place, for crying out loud, so why must she do this to me?" Yifeng thought helplessly. He couldn't tell her he couldn't do it since he already gave her his words.
