Even before Yifeng got engaged to her, she had a crush on him for a long time since they were all going to the same high school. He was the most popular guy in school. He was tall, handsome, rich and a prodigy in drawing and painting. He was every girl's dream boy and just like every other girl in school; she loved him without him even realising it. She watched him hang out with his two best friends every day, not sparing her a glance. She had admired from afar off for so long until an opportunity showed up for her to display her love for him.

Back then in high school, after she learned that Yifeng was going to be charged to court for murder, she had pleaded with her dad to help her heartthrob out. When she saw that only her pleads did not work, she pulled her two best friends Pei Yan and Bai Zihua to plead with her father on her behalf. And even when their combined pleads did not move her father's heart, she had to resort on starving herself. Because of her stubbornness, she collapsed from starving herself for three days. Mr Zhao finally agreed to her pleads when he saw the terrible state his beloved daughter was in because of a measly boy.

​​

She saved him, so it was only right that he should love her and nobody else. She is the only one who deserves to be his wife, not a lady who popped out from nowhere.

"I guessed I never loved you no matter how hard I tried because you are not the one for me," Yifeng spoke, with an indifferent expression.

"And you think she is the one for you because she gave herself cheaply to you on a platter of gold?" Zhao Liying asked, with a disgusted look. Her expression showed that she despised whoever she was referring to.

"Yang Zi is not like that, so watch your mouth. She is my woman and soon-to-be wife, so I expect you to accord her with some respect if you still want to continue working for BEST Enterprises," Yifeng scolded her sternly.

"Feng, you have always had a reckless lifestyle with women, and I am sure Yang Zi is also on your list of many women. I guess you must have mistaken your infatuation for her as love because you never experienced what love is but let me tell you what love is," Zhao Liying said, staring into his dark eyes.

"Love is when you wished that time would stop whenever you are with her. For some unknown reason, you always feel safe whenever you are with her. You see her as the most precious thing that has ever happened to you. Whenever she smiles, you can't help but want to smile with her and whenever she is in pain, you feel twice the pain that she is feeling. You want to spend every passing second in her embrace. You feel empty and incomplete whenever you have a misunderstanding. You want to try out everything you have never done with her. You fantasise your future with her. You want her to be with you forever," Zhao Liying held her breath.

"Feng, that is what genuine love is. True love is not fantasising her body every passing second like you do, so wake up from your slumber and get back to reality because you don't love her," Zhao Liying said seriously.

"And who says I don't feel all you have just mentioned for her, and who the heck feeds your tiny brain with that nonsense that I only fantasised Yang Zi's body?" Yifeng chided fiercely.

"Do you know why I love Yang Zi unconditionally? It is because she is so damn different from all of you. She doesn't scheme behind my back just to get me and she isn't desperate to climb on top of my bed like all of you," Yifeng stated coldly.

"She isn't living a fake life like you or any of the other girls do. I love her for whom she truly is and don't you dare go around spewing that Yang Zi seduced me. Instead of seducing me, I was the one who seduced her into falling in love with me. Got it?" Yifeng asked, pissed off. He couldn't help flaring up once again when he recalled the rumour that had been circulating in the company. All Zhao Liying's supporters went around spreading the rumour that Yang Zi seduced Yifeng when that was not the truth.

"Did you just say I am desperate to climb your bed?" Zhao Liying asked, shocked that that is how lowly Yifeng thought of her.

"Are you not?" Yifeng asked nonchalantly. If he isn't the man she loved, she would have smashed his head with the glass cup in front of her.

"No, I am not. I love you, Feng. I have always loved you and that will never change," Zhao Liying denied vehemently.

"If you were not desperate to climb onto my bed, then explain why you tried to seduce me into having sex with you countless times," Yifeng questioned, staring daggers at the speechless lady before him.

Zhao Liying was too ashamed to speak when she recalled the number of time Yifeng kicked her out of his office, car and house for trying to seduce him into having sex with her just like he did with other women. He always rejected her every time she made advances to him. There was a time she thought she might be unattractive when Yifeng constantly and heartlessly rejected her. His excuse was always that he didn't have sex with his acquaintances.

None of them spoke for two minutes.

"You want mum to drop her charges against Mrs Yang, right? I will convince mum to do that but on two conditions?" Zhao Liying negotiated confidently.

"State your conditions," Yifeng ordered.

"I heard you are throwing a party for your 27th birthday, right? I know you would never extend your invitation to me, Pei Yan and Bai Zihua, so my first condition is that you give us invitation cards to attend the party," Zhao Liying stated proudly.

"Permission granted," Yifeng said, without thinking twice about her request.

"My second condition is that you must treat me out for a drink whenever and wherever I want it," Zhao Liying said, grinning wickedly.

Feng is wary of me, so I am sure that he will never agree to this request. That b*tch mother will definitely go to jail for attempted murder.

Zhao Liying thought, smiling triumphantly.

Yifeng hesitated when he heard her second request. He instantly concluded when he remembered his promise to Yang Zi. He had promised to make sure that Mrs Zhao drop the charges against her mum.

"Sure," Yifeng agreed to the disbelief of Zhao Liying.

"You agreed?" Zhao Liying remarked in astonishment.

"Don't forget to keep your part of the bargain or else I will not only f*cking mess with you but with your entire family," Yifeng threatened standing up.

"Not even having a cup of coffee with me?" Zhao Liying asked, when she saw that he was about to leave.

"My job is done here," Yifeng said, walking out on her.

"Since you had the guts to speak so rudely to my mum and dad because of her, then don't blame me for what I will do to that mistress of yours and her family. I will mess with everyone of them," Zhao Liying gritted her teeth in annoyance, her nails digging into her skin.

Meanwhile, in the Qing's Mansion, Yang Zi met Mr Qing in the sitting room reading a magazine. The Qing's interior was painted in blue and white. Their six neatly arranged white couch looks so outstanding. The interior decoration of the Mansion was exquisite and befitting for a wealthy household like that of the Qing.

Mr Qing quickly glanced at the entrance when he heard approaching footsteps.

"Zi Er!" Mr Qing exclaimed in surprised. He was surprised to see the lady he has not set eyes on for a long time now.

"Good afternoon, uncle," Yang Zi said, smiling at Mr Qing as she approached where he was sitting.

"Since I haven't seen you around the Mansion for a long time, I thought you had forgotten that you had an uncle here," Mr Qing replied, as he stood up and embraced Yang Zi.

"I could never forget my beloved uncle. Work has been quite hectic that is why I did not have time to drop by. I hope uncle will forgive me for my unfilial attitude," Yang Zi said cutely as she pulled out of his embrace.

"I have forgiven you, but I will get mad at you if you dare fall sick because of fatigue," Mr Qing threatened playfully.

"I will take care of myself. Thank you so much for your concern," Yang Zi said, smiling. Mr Qing really had a pleasant way of telling her to take care of herself.

"I know you came here for your two best friends. They are upstairs waiting for you," Mr Qing informed, sitting down.

"Oh, thank you uncle and this is for you,"Yang Zi said, hanging him a white shopping bag.

"Wow, that is so sweet of you, Zi Er. I have always known that you are the only person who loves me more," Mr Qing said, collecting the shopping bag from her. His expression showed that he was pleased with the gift, even though he did not know the content of the package.

"I am overwhelmed that uncle loves my presents," Yang Zi said. "I will see uncle later before I leave," Yang Zi said, before she gracefully walked upstairs.

Immediately Yang Zi stepped foot into a particular room. Her gaze went directly to the right-hand side of the vast room. Her eyes met two figures lying down facing each other on the enormous princess bed. The two figure lying on the bed shifted their gaze to her direction. Shui Shui's gaze was fierce.

"Zi Er, how could you be so mean to keep us waiting? Don't tell me you couldn't resist the urge to stay away from him for a minute," Shui Shui scolded, making no attempt of standing up from the bed.
