When he got to her desk, he halted when he saw Yang Zi inside his office working. He waited for about two minutes to catch his breath. He resumed walking when he felt that his heartbeat had returned to normal.

Yang Zi heard when he opened the door to the office, but she pretended to be so immersed in the files and laptop in front of her.

​​

"Hello beauty, miss hubby so soon?" Yifeng joked, approaching her. She still acted oblivious of his presence. Yifeng needed not to be a seer to know that she was furious with him. He sat down beside her.

"What is wrong?" Yifeng asked instantly feigning ignorance about the cause of her anger. He stretched his hand to touch her, but Yang Zi ignored his touch. She acted like a jealous wife who just caught her husband cheating on her.

"Beauty, why are you ignoring your darling? Did anyone dare to upset you? Tell me and I will instantly avenge you," Yifeng said, pecking her on her cheeks. Yang Zi could not keep up with the pretense anymore. She abandoned the files and focused her gaze on him. Her gaze was filled with anger. Out of guilt, Yifeng could not stare directly into her eyes.

"I thought you said I am your one and only so tell me who she is?" Yang Zi asked him the question on her mind. She knew who she was but she would only calm down if Yifeng explained everything to her. She wanted him to pacify her for daring to deceive her. Before she started working for Yifeng, she knew he had a fiancee and his fiancee was none other than the Chief's Judge daughter. His fiancee was never part of her plan so she completely forgot everything about her.

"Of course you are my one and only woman," Yifeng said confidently.

"You are a liar and a cheater. You lied to me," Yang Zi said, staring at him.

"Liar? What did I lie about? You are confusing me," Yifeng still pretended as though he didn't know what she was referring to. He could see through her eyes,she was hurt. Seeing her in this state he regretted not heeding Su Jin's advice. He should have just let go of his fear and trust the woman he loves.

"Zhao Liying, who is she?" Yang Zi asked sternly, giving him a fierce gaze. The thought Yifeng is not solely hers hurt her terribly. How could she have fallen in love with him when he belonged to somebody else?

"Zhao Liying?" Yifeng asked. Just the mere mention of that name irritated him. She is the reason his beloved Yang Zi was mad at him. All this wouldn't have happened if she had not barged into his office. Because of this, he hated her even more.

"Don't you dare lie to me again or I will never speak to you again," Yang Zi threatened. She stared into his eyes for an answer. She needed an explanation why he made her fall for him when he had another woman.

How could she be so stupid to forget his fiancee?

"Yang Zi, I never intended to lie to you. I just didn't know how to bring up the topic. I was also afraid you will leave me forever if I told you about her. I am sorry that the truth had to be revealed this way," Yifeng sincerely apologised as he caressed her hands. He knew he was wrong for lying to her.

"You were never mine in the first place, so why were you afraid that I will leave you?" Yang Zi asked, avoiding his gaze. She felt like a fool as she fell for another lady's fiance. What is she gonna do now?

"Yes, that is the sole reason I was scared that you will leave me. Although your eyes said you had feelings for me, you never admitted to having feelings for me. That is why I was afraid I will wake up one day and find out you are gone forever. I wouldn't have known what to do if that had happened," Yifeng explained as he turned her face around so she would stare at him.

"I am not doing this anymore. I am done," Yang Zi said, standing up to leave. She didn't walk far away before she felt somebody hugged her from behind.

"Yang Zi, I am sorry Ok? I admit I was wrong. I know what must be going through your head right now, but believe me, I was not playing with your feelings. My feelings for you are pure. One reason I didn't tell you about her is because her name always brings back memories I have tried so hard to bury," Yifeng said, hugging her affectionately. His voice sounded so sad. The sadness in it melted Yang Zi's stony heart.

"I am ready to tell you everything you need to know about my engagement with her," Yifeng said, kissing the back of her neck. He vowed never to let go of her until she agreed to listen to his explanations.

Just then, they both heard a knock on the door.

"Boss, I am entering with the signed contract," they both heard Yuan Quan's voice in front of the door. Immediately he turned the knob, he was surprised to see that the door was locked.

"Boss, is everything Ok? What about Miss Yang? Where is she?" Yuan Quan asked worriedly.

"Leave. This area is out of bound, right from this minute," Yifeng ordered coldly. He was furious that Yuan Quan was interrupting this important conversation.

"Boss, is....,"

"You will lose those hands of yours and mouth if you dare speak or knock the door again, understand?" angry Yifeng shouted furiously. Yuan Quan immediately left there when he heard his threats. When his boss was angry, he would never take his words for granted because every word he uttered counted.

"I will tell you the tragic event that led to my forced engagement with her," Yifeng said seriously.

"Ok, I am ready to listen to you but I will immediately walk out of your life if you dare tell a lie here," Yang Zi said firmly.

"I promise I won't lie," Yifeng drawled unwrapping his hands around her. They both went back to the couch. They sat in a way that they were both facing each other.

"The girl I told you about that day. The one that compiled the playlists you listened to...,"

"Your first love, right?" Yang Zi blurted. How could she forget the one who compiled the list of songs that have been healing the wounds she thought will never heal?

From the list of songs, she could tell just how much the girl cared about Yifeng. Even though Yifeng did not have romantic feelings for the mystery girl, she could tell that the girl considered him more than a friend by mere listening to those wonderful songs.

"She wasn't my first love, but she is a girl I will never forget in this lifetime," Yifeng said, staring blankly at her.

"She is lucky that you will remember her for a lifetime unlike me who will be easily forgotten like a passing breeze," Yang Zi said nonchalantly. She did not know why she was feeling so scared when she has never confessed her feelings to him.

"I will never forget you no matter what. You will be at my side forever so how can I ever forget you?" Yifeng said, staring at her. If there is one thing he was certain about, it is the fact that he will not forget the first woman who made him experience what it means to fall in love.

"We will end up arguing all day if I continue speaking with you so let's just skip the part where I will be erased from your memory forever," Yang Zi said. She didn't know why she couldn't control her emotions at the moment.

"How is the girl connected to your engagement with her? Is she the one who introduced you to her? That would have been so lame of her to introduce you to another girl when she had feelings for you," Yang Zi said carefreely.

"She wasn't the one who introduced her to me but her death brought me and Zhao Liying together," Yifeng said seriously.

Yang Zi felt so guilty for being so presumptuous. She wouldn't have uttered those words if she had known that her death caused Yifeng to get engaged to a total stranger.

"What happened to her and how did you and your fiance get engaged?" Yang Zi asked calmly.

"Back then she, Su Jin and I were inseparable. We went through thick and thin together but she ended up dying because of me," Yifeng said cupping his face with his hands. Recalling that night always cost him excruciating pain. That is why he tried his best to erase that incident from his memory.

"I am sure you didn't cause her death. From your expression I can tell just how much you love her and value your friendship. I know you would have done everything possible to save her if you were not helpless," Yang Zi console patting his back. She knew just what it means to be in a helpless situation, unable to save someone you love so dearly. She has been there before so she understands that feelings perfectly.
