"My Grandpa is strict with us because we are boys but he won't be strict with you because he has always wanted a granddaughter. I am sure he will spoil you rotten if he knows that you are his granddaughter now. You are an ideal granddaughter so I am certain he will love you so don't be scared," Yifeng said to the delight of Yang Mi.

"Really, thank you brother Feng, that is why I like you," Yang Mi exclaimed, throwing him a flying kiss. Everyone laughed, seeing how naughty Yang Mi was. After having their dinner, they opted for dessert and afterwards stayed in the exquisite room to relax. Yang Mi fell asleep on Yifeng's arm. Since Yang Mi refused to let go of him even in her sleep when they wanted to go home he had to go in their car.

​​

"Goodbye, take care of yourself. Remember your five days' holiday ends in two days. Resume work, as usual. You will hate what I will do if you quit," Yifeng said, entering his car without waiting for her reply. Yang Zi waved goodbye at Chen before she took Yang Mi, whom she was carrying on her body inside the Mansion.

"Welcome Miss Yang," the maid who opened the door greeted as she tried to collect the sleeping Yang Mi from her hand.

"Don't worry about it. What about mum? Where is she?" Yang Zi asked, walking into the vast sitting room in which six grey designer couches were neatly arranged.

"She is in the dining room," The maid replied, following closely.

"Ok, tell mum I will come downstairs for dinner after tucking Mi Er in," Yang Zi ordered before she headed to Yang Mi's room which was on the second floor. After tucking Yang Mi in, she went to her room on the third floor. She showered and changed into her purple pyjamas. She went downstairs after drying her hair and rubbing lotion on her body.

"Good evening mum," Yang Zi greeted as she gave her mum a back hug. Mrs Yang drop the enormous dish containing fried rice and slowly turned to hug her.

"You look tired. The maids told me that Mi Er is asleep. I bet she must have tortured you so much before she finally let you come home," Mrs Yang said, caressing her face.

"She was extremely happy before she fell asleep. I am certain she won't let you rest tomorrow. She will tell you everything that happened in the park from A-Z missing nothing. And I am tired but seeing how excited she was throughout the day. It was worth it," Yang Zi said, taking her position on the dining table.

"You are right," Mrs Yang said, taking her seat too. "I saw him drop you off earlier. You guys look very close, which makes me want to ask. Are you guys a couple now?" Mrs Yang asked. Her question was sudden. It caught her unawares.

"Mum!" Yang Zi exclaimed in shock.

"Zi Er, tell me you don't like Yifeng even the slightest bit. Be honest with me. I won't ever mention his name if you tell me vehemently to my face you don't like him but expect nothing from me if your answer is not clear enough," Mrs Yang said, staring at her keenly.

"I.... I don't like him," Yang Zi said, but her voice came out shaky. Mrs Yang smiled when she saw how flustered Yang Zi became after her question.

"That you hesitated means you are not even sure what your feelings for him are. If you like him, stop treating him like you normally do, but if I guessed your feelings wrong, which I am sure I didn't, then cut off all ties with him like you have always done. Don't make things difficult for him," Mrs Yang advised turning to face the Nanny.

"Nanny, please call the maids to the dining room," Mrs Yang ordered, leaving Yang Zi to think about what she just said. The Nanny did as she instructed. The Nanny came back with five other maids.

"All of us eating together was one of her wishes, so take your seats. We will take pictures while eating to commemorate it," Mrs Yang informed after which one guard which was on standby took pictures of them eating. All the security guards were not exempted from the feast, but they ate at their designated post. Shiyi and Shui Shui who were busy at work did not forget to send their gifts to the Mansion promising to visit on Christmas day. Everyone in the Yang and Li's household went to bed with smiles on their faces. They wished every day was just like today.

Shui Shui and Shiyi kept their words. After spending Christmas at their various family Mansions, they immediately went to the Yang's Mansion like they had promised. It was a few minutes after their arrival that Yifeng's surprise gift arrived. His gift surprised everyone, including Shui Shui and Shiyi. They didn't know what to think of Yifeng again after his public display of affection for Yang Zi. Yang Zi, Shui Shui and Shiyi went out for a walk after the celebration. From the decorations all over the streets, one did not need to be told that it was Christmas.

"Zi Er, be honest with us, do you like Yifeng? It will be absurd for you to say your heart didn't skip even the tiniest bit after spending over five months with him, so we will understand if you like him. You need not to lie to us," Shui Shui asked, staring at Yang Zi. On the long bench she sat down beside Yang Zi on the right-hand side while Shiyi at the left-hand side. Yang Zi hesitated a bit before she gave them an answer.

"I don't have romantic feelings for him. I have made this clear to him several times, but he just won't listen. Zhou Yixian and his Father are not yet convicted. I know I don't have to worry about them getting convicted since the last trial is tomorrow. I am certain that the least verdict the court will give to him is life imprisonment," Yang Zi said. Her expression changed just by the mention of Zhou Yixian. After the police arrested him and he was hospitalised because of his injuries, she has been visiting him in the hospital so she won't be suspected for anything that happened. Anyway, no one would dare suspect her since she didn't leave any trails behind.

"Yang Zi, if there is one thing I don't regret ever doing in my life it is falling in love with you. I know everything that occurred between the both of us during that period was just an act of pretence for you, but for me, I was sincere. My love for you is pure. I will love you till my last breath," Yang Zi recalled what Zhou Yixian told her when she went to the hospital to visit him earlier. No matter whether he was telling the truth, she did not care.

"If you don't like the way he is pestering you then why don't you quit besides you have achieved your aim of working for him so what is the need of still working there?" Shiyi asked seriously.

"I want to quit but...,"

"But what?" Shiyi and Shui Shui chorused. They did not understand why she put a 'BUT' in the sentence since she said she does not have feelings for him. The Zi Er they know was the type to cut off all connections with the people she dislikes.

"But I feel sentimental about it. Within the period of five days I spent in the resort, I made a lot of friends. I have subconsciously become attached to them, which is making it difficult for me to quit so easily," Yang Zi explained emotionally. Before they went on the trip, quitting was a simple thing for her to do since she and other employees were not close, but things have changed now.

"I understand you love your workplace now but your employees need you too. Since you established your company your employees have not met you once so when are you going to fully assume your identity as designer M? Queen City wants to know who is M and so is the universe so decide fast," Shiyi informed.

"You have achieved what you have always wanted so now it is time for you to start a career of your own and you also need to find love so don't take long coming to a conclusion, Ok," Shui Shui supported Shiyi's point.

"Ok, I will put aside my feelings and find a suitable day to quit but speaking of love life. What about you and Mr Jin Xiaofei? How is your relationship developing?" Yang Zi asked, turning to face her. She has noticed that Shui Shui has not been talking about her Prince Charming for the past three days. She was worried about her.

"Since the last time we met in the restaurant, he is always too preoccupied with work even when I mustered up the courage to ask him to treat me out for dinner. I guess I am the one who thinks too much about our relationship, so I have decided to stop being stupid. I am done chasing him," Shui Shui said with a firm resolve.

"Are you sure about that? You don't look fine with it," Shiyi asked suspiciously.
