"If not you then should I be the one to leave?" Yifeng ordered, sounding pissed. He was angry that he couldn't concentrate on his Yang Zi because of him.

"Sorry, Young Master," the butler apologized before he reluctantly exited the room.

​​

"Pardon my manner, let's eat," Yifeng said, forcing a smile on.

"By a mere glance, I can tell that the food looks yummy," Yang Zi said, licking her lips hungrily.

"Don't just stare at the food, dig in," Yifeng said, staring at her. He could only eat after he saw her eat. Yang Zi scooped a spoonful of the food and put it into her mouth.

"Hmm... yummy," Yang Zi said, shaking her head in delight. Her reaction showed that the food wasn't only up to her taste, but she loved it.

"You like it?" Yifeng asked, staring at her. He didn't even attempt to start eating. It was as if he was satisfied seeing her eat.

"Yeah, I will make comments after I have tasted all the dishes here," Yang Zi said happily at him. Before she came downstairs, he had thought Yang Zi would treat him awkwardly because of what ensued between them last night but to his greatest amazement, she didn't seem affected. She looked more than comfortable.

"OK, I am glad that the meal is up to your liking," Yifeng said, still gazing at her. What he did not know is that his piercing glare was making her uncomfortable.

"I know my beauty is superior but you will bore a hole in my face if you continue drooling over me," Yang Zi said as she focused on her food. "And stop staring at me and eat," Yang Zi said nonchalantly.

"You have bewitched me. I can't seem to take my eyes off you now. I know you won't believe it but I feel full by merely staring at you. You eat so well and with elegance," Yifeng said, smiling at her.

"Your words are giving me goosebumps, they are so cheesy," Yang Zi said, smiling at him too.

"Despite how cheesy they are, those words speak my true feelings," Yifeng said his affectionate gaze still on her. Yang Zi dropped her spoon and cutlery to the amazement of Yifeng.

"What are you doing? Aren't the foods up to your taste? I can have them change the menu just for you," Yifeng said, staring at her. He could not fathom why she suddenly stopped eating when it seemed like she was enjoying the meal earlier. He specifically prepared the food according to her taste.

"I love all the dishes, but I am not going to take a bite again until you decide to eat with me. If you are not interested in eating, then let's do the staring together," Yang Zi said, focusing all her attention on Yifeng.

"The food was specifically prepared for you so eat besides I am not hungry. Eat hmm...," Yifeng persuaded, trying to hold her hands.

"I am hungry, but I am not going to eat until you agree to eat with me. I can feed you as long as you agree to eat, I promise," Yang Zi said seriously. She was hungry but hearing him say he was not eating with her made her lost her appetite.

"OK, let's eat but you are going to feed me like you promised, alright," Yifeng said, opening his mouth as a signal for her to feed him.

Yang Zi stared at his opened mouth in contemplation before she did as she promised.

"You will make a perfect wife. Your gentle touch combined with your beautiful smile is heavenly. I will be pampered by you all the days of my life after we get married," Yifeng complimented after Yang Zi passed him a glass of water to drink.

"Thanks for your compliments but don't get used to my pampering because I haven't promised to be your wife. Whether I will become your girlfriend and perhaps your wife all lies in your hand," Yang Zi said, still feeding him.

"Even though you are still in denial of your feelings for me, I am confident you will definitely choose me," Yifeng said, bringing his face closer to her face. He blocked her vision.

"Why are you so confident that I will choose you?" Yang Zi asked, staring into his eyes.

"Because you can never resist my charms. I have already bewitched, you can never love anybody else but me. I am your one and only," Yifeng said as his face inch closer to her face. Yang Zi shut her eyes in anticipation.

"You see, I told you that you can never choose anybody else but me. Your entire being longs for me. Stop making it hard for both of us and agree to my proposal. I promise I will treat you like a queen. I will love you with my entire being. I promise I won't have any other woman beside you. I promise to treat you and our kids with the utmost care and love that you all deserve. You and our kids will be my world, I promise," Yifeng said to Yang Zi whose eyes were still close.

She slowly opened her eyes when she heard Yifeng's marriage proposal. He proposed to her so many times but his gaze right now showed he was damn serious and this scared her. She liked him so much but not to the extent of getting married to him just yet. She wasn't ready for marriage, but she did not know how to relay this to him. She did not want to hurt him.

Since she was scared her words would hurt him she decided to leave without uttering a word but Yifeng pulled her back onto the chair.

"I know you are not ready to make commitments, and I am fine with that. I can wait as long as you want, but promise me you won't push me away. Promise me you will allow me to show you how much I like you. On my part, I promise to be good. I will treat you the best as long as you don't leave me for somebody else," Yifeng said affectionately looking into her eyes. He loved staring into her eyes while he spoke because he believed the eyes can never lie. Whatever a person feels will be revealed in his/her eyes, he vehemently believes this.

"I...,"

Yifeng kissed her before she could complete her sentence. He was scared she would say words that will break his heart. He would rather prefer she doesn't say a word than for her to say hurtful words to him. The kiss was short but very intense. He kissed her so passionately to the point that Yang Zi lost herself to his sweetness.

"Three months," Yang Zi said gasping for air after Yifeng released her lips. Confusion masked the face of Yifeng after her utterances. He could not decipher what she meant by three months.

"Three months? What do you mean? I am confused," Yifeng said, staring at her flushed face. He loved this side of her. He always loved the feeling of her melting under his touch every time he kissed her. He always found it hard to get over those feelings.

"You only have three months to make me fall madly in love with you. Enough for me to want to make you my world. If perhaps you fail, you will forget about all the intimacy we've ever shared. You will forget that a lady like Yang Zi ever existed. We will both go back to our separate worlds," Yang Zi said seriously.

Just for him, she broke all her principles over and over again. She liked him but that does not change the fact that she has a whole world of her own waiting for her to embrace. If he can't make her want to stay with him, that means they were never meant for each other. They will both have to accept that fact no matter how hard it might seem.

"Going back to our world means that you will sever all ties with me, right? After quitting you will act as though I never existed, hmm?" Yifeng asked. He wished his assumptions were wrong. It took him over nine months to build this close relationship he had with her. Making her fall madly in love with him just like she said within the span of three months seemed like an impossible task but if that is the only option she left him with he did not have any choice but to give it a shot.

"Yes, just like you said, I will act like you never existed. I admit it will be tough since you have become a better part of me but I will do all it takes to forget you if you fail. Failing to capture my heart will mean we were never destined for each other and I will accept that fate wholeheartedly," Yang Zi said, trying her best not to make her voice shaky.

Nobody can fight against fate, her mum has always told her. If Yifeng is not her fated partner, she will succumb to fate without fighting back. She has only realized her feelings for him a few hours ago but her entire being feels like she has loved him for a long time. She wants to be with him every passing second.

"What if I succeed in making you fall madly in love with me? What will you do and what will be my reward?" Yifeng asked anxiously. He nervously waited for her reply.
