"The red dress is missing," Yifeng remarked, as he immediately grabbed a black trouser from the wardrobe and wore it hurriedly.

"I hope it's not what I am thinking," afraid Yifeng mumbled, as he rushed downstairs without putting on a shirt.

​​

"Oh goddamn it, her bag isn't where she kept it yesterday," Yifeng cursed when he reached downstairs and found out that Yang Zi wasn't there either.

"I promised to protect her and her family no matter what, so why did she have to leave after all that transpired between us last night," Yifeng said helplessly as he run his fingers through his hair.

"Yifeng, there is no time to waste crying over what has already happened. Run after her or else, you will lose her forever if she steps foot out of the gate," Yifeng chided, as he ran to the entrance. The moment he opened the brown wooden door, Yifeng stood rooted to the floor. He couldn't believe whom he just saw admiring the beautiful scenery before her.

Without wasting another second, he rushed and hugged Yang Zi, who was oblivious of his presence.

Yang Zi was startled when Yifeng, who never made his presence known, hugged her suddenly. What stunned her most was his throbbing heartbeat.

"Thank you so much for not abandoning me," Yifeng said, as his grip around her waist tightened. As he spoke, Yang Zi could read those fearful feelings in his words.

What is wrong? Did he think I left him?

Yang Zi thought as she caressed his hands on her waist. Yang Zi turned around to face him after she noticed that his breathing wasn't erratic as it was when he hugged her.

"Do you know what thoughts were on my mind as I admired this beautiful scenery?" Yang Zi asked rhetorically as she cupped his face. Yang Zi could read fear all over his handsome face. "I was thinking how amazing it will be if we created such spectacular scenery for our first child? Or what do you think? Do you dislike the idea?," Yang Zi asked, as she stared at him curiously for answers.

Yifeng was too shocked to respond when he heard her proposal. For a minute, he thought he was hallucinating things.

"Sorry, I can see you don't like the idea," Yang Zi said, in disappointment as she turned to leave, but Yifeng quickly turned and blocked her path.

"Your idea is fabulous. I love it so much that I can die from overhappiness," Yifeng said, beaming at her.

"I am sorry, I couldn't give you an answer instantly. I was too shocked to respond. For a minute there, I thought I was imagining things. It never crossed my mind that you will throw such an exceptional proposal at me," Yifeng explained, as he hugged her tightly.

"You just made me the happiest man on earth. I will never in a million years forget the 30th of August 2021. The day that Yang Zi, the daughter of Mr. Yang Xiaolin, agreed to be the mother of my kids," Yifeng said delightfully.

"I am glad that you are no longer scared that I will leave you. Although I won't leave, that doesn't mean I will marry you just yet," Yang Zi spoke her mind. She centered her gaze on Yifeng to see his reaction.

"It doesn't matter. I will wait for you," Yifeng said, still beaming at her. Yang Zi was so relieved to see that he was cool with her plans.

Yifeng and Yang Zi continued watching the beautiful scenery in each other's embrace. After about ten minutes, Yifeng acted like he recalled something.

"What is wrong?" Yang Zi asked worriedly, when Yifeng abruptly pulled out of her embrace.

"I know you must be famished because of our romantic workout last night. Because I was scared you left me, I forgot to prepare breakfast for you," Yifeng said, his expression turning to an unhappy one when he recalled how hungry she must be.

"Is that why you are making the long face?" Yang Zi asked, feeling relieved when she heard what was troubling him.

Yifeng nodded his head affirmatively to her question.

"Although it was so hard for me to move around in my current state, I am please to inform you I have already heated all the dishes in the fridge for our breakfast," Yang Zi said. She shuddered when she recalled just how she went about preparing their brunch.

"Are you sick?" Yifeng asked anxiously when he heard her sound like she was in pain.

"Wouldn't it be abnormal of me not to be in pain after how severely you tortured me last night?" Yang Zi spoke in between her teeth, as she threw accusing gaze at him.

She did not need to speak further before Yifeng understood what she meant. He felt like beating himself up when he recalled that he fell asleep when he was applying Cheng Yi's special lotion on her.

"Hmm.... it would be abnormal if you didn't feel excruciating pain down there," Yifeng supported, giving Yang Zi his most adorable gaze. Yang Zi did not know whether to laugh or cry when she heard his reply.

"Let's eat first. I will help you massage the sore area after we are done eating. I believe you will be completely fine after ten minutes of applying the lotion on you," Yifeng said, as he instantly carried her on his body.

Yifeng carried her in that manner until they got to their bedroom. He dropped her gently on the bed before he went to bring the prepared meal.

"There is nothing wrong with my hands. I can eat just fine on my own," Yang Zi objected, when Yifeng wanted to spoonfeed her yet again.

Seeing that she will not eat unless she eats by herself, Yifeng brought up the suggestion of playing a game. The loser will listen to whatever the winner said. After playing the game for five minutes, Yifeng came out victorious. Yang Zi had no choice but to let Yifeng feed her since she lost.

The couple played all kinds of naughty games as they ate. After they were through eating, Yifeng massaged her sore area with the special lotion just like he promised. They both relaxed on the bed after he was through. They fell asleep in each other's arms without realizing it.

Yang Zi woke up to see Yifeng playing with his phone. She was surprised when she saw how many hours they both slept.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" Yang Zi complained as she stared at Yifeng, whose gaze was now focused on her.

"I woke up few minutes ago. I couldn't bear to wake you when I saw how sound asleep you were," Yifeng quickly defended himself.

"Oh gosh, our kids must be worried sick about us since I totally forgot to call them last night," Yang Zi said worriedly. She climbed out of bed instantly.

"Relax beauty, they won't be as worried as you assumed. You know how they are when they are both together. Their mind is always out of this universe whenever they play together," Yifeng said, as he chased after her.

"With Chen still ill, mum won't let them focus all their attention on games so they will be worried about us. I am also worried about them," Yang Zi said, as she instantly headed downstairs.

"I can't believe spending time with you made me forgot that we left our two babies at home. They must have been eagerly awaiting our arrival," Yang Zi said, not sparing Yifeng a glare.

"Seeing you this worried about them, I think it is a bad idea that we have another kid just yet. I know I will be abandoned all alone if that happens," Yifeng said, with a displeased expression as he stopped walking. Yang Zi halted when she got to the end of the stairs. She turned and stared at his jealous expression.

"You are a grown-up man so you can take care of yourself, unlike our kids. They need all the attention and love we can offer," Yang Zi said care-freely. Without waiting for Yifeng's reply, she immediately went to the couch and picked her bag.

"Are you gonna stand there and stare at me all day?" Yang Zi asked, when she got to the entrance and found out that Yifeng did not move an inch from where she left him earlier.

"It's Ok if you don't want to come with me but I am gonna take the car with me," Yang Zi said, turning to leave but Yifeng's words prevented her from doing so.

"Wait up, I am coming with you," Yifeng reluctantly shouted after her, as he hurried to meet her.

"I thought you wanted to spend the night here all alone, so why did you change your mind abruptly?" Yang Zi teased,when Yifeng reached where she was standing. She resisted the urge to laugh when she saw Yifeng's displeased expression.

He looks so cute and irresistible whenever he is jealous. I feel like I should always make him jealous so I will see this side of him.

Yang Zi imagined smiling as she turned and heads towards the footpath they took yesterday.
