"Beauty, don't be upset. Chen's condition is improving, you heard the doctor said earlier and trust me I will get that gutsy server who poisoned my beloved brother. He will experience hell in my hands when I get him under my clutches," Yifeng said, making her lean on his shoulder.

"And about Auntie's case, I will make sure Mrs Zhao withdraws her charges before tomorrow's runs out. Although they parade themselves as the most powerful family in Keelung country because of their influence in court, they dare not go against Li's family," Yifeng comforted her by patting her hair.

​​

Zhao Liying's arrival from the States has brought nothing but one trouble to another to them. She and her two friends have always been from one scheme to another. Yang Zi would have given up on him long ago if she was not such an understanding person. Her unyielding spirit has made Zhao Liying and her two friends run out of what to do to piss her off.

He knew that Yang Zi not fighting back with them was because of him. She did not want to tarnish his reputation because of their relationship. They were not her match if she was to retaliate. Yang Zi was the queen of schemes, in terms of scheming they were not her rival, but she just left them alone for Yifeng's sake. And the worst of all was that they were abusing her leniency.

"Yes, Chen's condition is improving, but that does not change the fact that someone poisoned him under my watch. I feel guilty just thinking about the heart-wrenching pain he must have gone through," Yang Zi said helplessly. She could still recall how helpless she felt when Chen slumped in the restaurant in her presence.

"I know the Li's made the Zhaos' what they are today, but you and I know very well that tackling them will not be a simple task. You will lose so much if you embark on a war with them," Yang Zi said worriedly.

Who the heck are the Zhaos' when she had handled people more powerful than them? If she wasn't in a relationship with Yifeng, tackling Zhao Liying and her family would have been a piece of cake. Her relationship with Yifeng restricted what she could do to Zhaos'. She cannot act hastily for his sake.

"Beauty, you don't have to worry about me? I have them under my clutches. I know Grandpa has not said he is on our side, but I am sure he won't let any harm come to the company. I also have a lot of connections, the Zhaos' cannot harm the company even though my Grandpa does not give us his support," Yifeng reassured, caressing her face.

"Why should I not worry about you? You made me your priority, so it is only right that I accord more importance to you," Yang Zi said, caressing his face too. She loves him so much, and she did not want to see him go through hardships because of her.

"I am so happy to know that you think so highly of me, but you don't have to worry about me and the Company. Nothing bad will happen," Yifeng said affectionately.

"Beauty, I have told you countless times not to hold back from retaliating whenever they strike. I know you are strong and that handling Zhao Liying and her cohorts is a simple task for you, so give them what they deserve whenever they try any nonsense with you. I give you my permission to do whatsoever you desire with them. I am solely behind you," Yifeng said seriously. He felt terrible knowing that Yang Zi was holding back from doing anything because of him.

"But if I do what you require of me, everything will blow out of proportion. It will have a very terrible impact on your image and that of your company. That is why I think fighting them is not really worth it. They will eventually give up at the end, making us the sole Victor," Yang Zi said, trying to sound optimistic. She knew there was no end to their troubles, but she did not want to stress him out with her problem.

"Has being in a relationship with me made my wonder woman become docile and demure? I can't believe I have finally tamed you," Yifeng said jokingly. He was not pleased with how gloomy the atmosphere in the car was.

"Of course not, I am still the hot-tempered Yang Zi who has never conceded defeat. I am just cool-headed when I am with you just so I don't scare you away," Yang Zi said, her gloomy expression brightening up a bit.

"You can never scare me away, you know that and you know I love it when you are fierce. I heard fierce ladies are fierce in bed, I can't wait to see how hot you are in bed," Yifeng said tickling her. He wanted to see her laugh, and he was glad his plan worked because she roared to his tickling.

"Stop holding back for my sake. Let them have a thirst of your fierceness that I fell in love with. Show them who the real Yang Zi is. I will protect you no matter what, I promise," Yifeng assured as he pecked her on her lips.

"Ok, I will do as you instructed but I will deal with you if you dare betray me or go back on your words," Yang Zi warned.

"How will you deal with me? By kissing me until I ran out of breath, or will you finally give me the blow job as punishment?" Yifeng joked, kissing her earlobe just to tease her.

"Stop acting naughty or I will change my mind about sleeping over at your place," Yang Zi threatened playfully.

"Wow! You are sleeping over at my place? Why didn't you say so earlier when we left the hospital?" Yifeng asked in surprise.

"I wanted it to be a surprise. I know with the recent happenings, you must have felt lonely and sad so I want to keep you company. I want to be with you at your most trying time," Yang Zi said lovingly.

"Thank you, that is why I always say you are such an angel. I can feel your love for me. I love you so much," Yifeng said, staring at her passionately.

"I know you do," Yang Zi replied, touching his face. Her reply wasn't what Yifeng wanted.

"How come you never said you love me? I have told you how much I love you every day so why don't you do the same or don't you love me too?" Yifeng asked meekly.

"Do I have to say it for you to know how I feel about you?" Yang Zi asked, staring directly into his eyes.

"Yes, I want to hear what you feel from your mouth, I don't want it to be a wishful thinking from my own part so just say it. Do you love me?" Yifeng asked anxiously. He was a little scared she might say no.

"Hmmm...," Yang Zi trailed. She moved closer to him and kissed him passionately.

"That is my answer," Yang Zi said, smiling at him.

"Is that a yes or no?" Yifeng asked, confused. For him, the kiss meant she liked him, but that might not be the same with her. So he wanted to confirm it from her.

"It's up to you to decide," Yang Zi said. "Let's go home. You haven't eaten throughout the day, I have to prepare dinner for the both of us," Yang Zi said as she put on her seatbelt.

"I will take your actions as a yes," Yifeng said, smiling at her before he started the car and drove off.

When they got to the Mansion, they both walked inside the Mansion and then afterwards, directly to Yifeng's bathroom.

"I know you must be very tired from having to work in the office and also take care of Chen. Lie on the bed so I will massage your body," Yifeng said when they got to his bedroom.

"You don't have to. I am fine," Yang Zi said as she dropped her bag on the couch.

"How about you lie down and let me massage you? I am sure you must be sore all over from working all day too," Yang Zi said, dragging him along with her to the bed. She pushed him on the bed, bent down and started massaging his legs despite Yifeng's resistance.

"Beauty, you don't have to do this. I am fine. You are the one who needs to be pampered like an egg, not me, so sit. Let me massage your legs. I am sure they must ache so badly from having to wear these heels all day," Yifeng said, making her sit on the bed instead. He placed her legs on his laps and began massaging them gently.

He massaged her with so much care and love. In this close proximity, they look like husband and wife.

"Yang Zi, thank you so much," Yifeng said, his attention on her legs he was massaging.

"For what?" Yang Zi asked, confused that Yifeng just thanked her out of the blue.
