"Feng, earlier you said that my birthday painting was the first painting you have ever drawn since your parents' death, but what about the painting you just showed me? If that was when I was nineteen, it means that you drew it five years ago, so why did you lie?" Yang Zi asked, as she pulled out of his embrace.

"I never said so. I only stated that you are the first person I have ever drawn after my parents' death," Yifeng quickly defended himself.

​​

"Did you? I thought I heard you say my birthday painting was the first," Yang Zi said, scratching her head cutely.

"You heard me wrong," Yifeng said, as he pulled her cheeks playfully.

"Come, let's look at more paintings," Yifeng said, pulling her along with him. They looked at all his old paintings, giggling and teasing each other at every interval. As they did this, they completely lost track of time.

Yang Zi yawned for the second time as she rested her head on Yifeng's shoulder.

"I can see you are tired. Let's stop here for today," Yifeng said, gently helping her up.

"I still want to look at the remaining paintings, but I can't control the hunger anymore. It hasn't been long since we arrived here, but surprisingly I am famished. I don't know what is wrong with me," Yang Zi said, rubbing her tummy.

Yifeng starer at his wristwatch to cross check how many minutes they spent there. An exclamation escaped from his mouth when he realised how many hours they spent there.

"Beauty, nothing is wrong with you. It is normal for you to get hungry when it's far past dinner," Yifeng said, as he princess carried her.

"Let's find something to eat upstairs," Yifeng said, as he climbed the stairs with the tired Yang Zi on his body.

"You didn't have to carry me all the way here. I could've walked by myself," Yang Zi mumbled after Yifeng dropped her on the medium-sized bed.

"I know, but I just wanted to carry you. I love doing this," Yifeng said, squatting to pull off her shoes.

"Thank you," Yang Zi pecked him on his forehead as a sign of appreciation.

"Take a nap while I heat our food. I will be right back," Yifeng made her lie properly on the bed. He pecked her forehead and afterwards went into a room at the left corner of the room.

Yang Zi scrutinised the entire room with her eyes. She wondered why the bedroom was painted with pink colour when blue and white was Yifeng's favourite colours.

"I guess he did it for her?" Yang Zi mumbled when her eyes met the paintings on the wall. All the paintings hanging on all corners of the room were Mi Lu's paintings or that of the both of them.

"They were closer than I imagined. No wonder Feng went into a state of shock after her demise," Yang Zi thought as she closed her eyes.

"I wished he would remember me this way or even half of how he remembers her if something happens to me in the future," Yang Zi murmured, with her eyes still closed.

Few minutes later, Yifeng came out of the room with a tray filled with varieties of dishes. He went inside the room again and came out with another tray of food. He gently placed the tray on the same table he kept the previous one. He soon sat down beside the sleeping Yang Zi.

"I love you more than you can ever imagine, Zi Er. I have sketched our future and even engraved it in my heart so I won't forget it. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want you to be the mother of my kids. I want you to stay with me forever, but I don't know whether you are willing," Yifeng said, stroking her face.

"Despite whether or not you are willing. I will wait for you until you are ready to accept my proposal," Yifeng said, as he pecked on her lips.

"Just for you I will wait because I really love you," Yifeng said, as he pulled away from her. He waited for a few minutes more before he gently woke her up.

"Darling, dinner is ready," Yifeng said, smiling at her after she opened her eyes.

"As I have always said. You are such an ideal husband. You will surely spoil your wife rotten with your pampering," Yang Zi complimented, slowly sitting up.

"You are my one and only wife, so stop making it sound like you are referring to someone else," Yifeng scolded.

"Ok, my mistake," Yang Zi corrected herself playfully. He stood up and brought the tray one after the other to the bed. Yang Zi wanted to help, but he told her not to move a muscle from her original spot.

"I can eat just fine you don't have to feed me," Yang Zi complained, when Yifeng did not want her to do anything. Yifeng didn't listen to her. He fed her until they were both unable to eat anymore. They both lied down on the bed to relax afterwards.

"Feng, what is your biggest wish at the moment?" Yang Zi whose upper body was on top Yifeng's chest asked curiously her gaze centred on him.

"My biggest wish right now is that I want to make you smile forever and also that you won't leave me no matter my shortcomings," Yifeng said calmly.

"Why is your wish centred on me? You should have made a wish that has to do with either your family or company, so why is your wish only about me?" Yang Zi asked inquisitively.

"You are a part of my family now and the company is blooming so I don't think it needed the wish. You are everything I could think of wishing for," Yifeng said, his voice sounding mellow and gentle.

Yang Zi went silent after she heard his reply.

"What about you? What is your greatest wish at the moment?" Yifeng asked, as he played with her hair.

"To spend a lifetime of bliss with the man I love and also for the safety of all my loved ones," Yang Zi replied instantly. It was as if she already thought about this before Yifeng asked her the question.

"I will help fulfil your wish," Yifeng said seriously.

"Really?" Yang Zi asked, sounding surprised by Yifeng's reply. "You didn't ask me the man I was referring to. It's so unlike my Feng," Yang Zi asked, sitting up on the bed. Yifeng also did the same too.

"Because I know you won't say a word about it even though I ask you, so I don't want to force you," Yifeng said, sounding so understanding.

"Come, there is something I want us to do?" Yang Zi said, after about two minutes of silence. She dragged Yifeng all the way downstairs.

"Lie down on the couch over there," Yang Zi instructed, as she set up the canvas board ready to paint.

"Beauty, what are you up to? You haven't said a word to me other than order me after you dragged me downstairs," Yifeng said, trying to stand up from the couch, but Yang Zi's firm gaze prevented him from doing so.

"I am not perfect in painting like you, but I want to make a painting of you," Yang Zi said, her eyes on Yifeng.

"What?" Yifeng exclaimed in excitement as he jumped up from the couch.

"Lie back down or I cannot make an accurate painting of you lying down," Yang Zi instructed, as she quickly proceeded.

She was the world's best in designing clothes and shoes, but she wasn't sure she could draw a perfect painting like Yifeng. She painted her friends, sister and mummy before. The paintings were good, but not the best. Even though she could not achieve perfection with this painting, she wanted it to at least be the best.

"Zi Er, I have always known that you knew stuffs about painting since the first time I saw that sketchbook in your bedroom and now I feel so honoured that my Wifey is gonna make a painting of me," Yifeng said, in excitement as he smiled at her sweetly.

"I know a lot about paintings, but my specialty is clothes and shoes," Yang Zi said absentmindedly. All her focus was on the painting she was making.

"You design clothes and shoes? You never disclosed that to me?" Yifeng remarked in surprise. He could now understand why she was so protective of her sketchbook that time.

"Can I have a look at your designs when we get back home? I can establish a fashion line for you," Yifeng continued when Yang Zi did not reply.

"You will get shock out of your wits if you have a glimpse of my designs," Yang Zi replied, giving him a mischievous smile.

"Why will I be shocked?" Yifeng asked, anxiety visible on his face. He did not understand why she made the last comment.
