Until date, she still cried whenever she recalled how her 18 years old sister died so tragically. She could still recall how desperately her sister wanted to turn 20. Too bad they cut her life short so soon. Although she avenged her unjust death, she still feels excruciating pain whenever she thought about her sister who had so many dreams and aspirations.

"You know I feel hurt whenever I see you in pain, so don't cry, hmm? Wherever your sister is, I am sure she must be very proud of you. I also know that she wouldn't want to see you in tears anymore," Yifeng said, wiping her tears with his right hand.

​​

"You know what, I really loved my sister so much. After my grandma died because of depression, she was all I had in this world. When I woke up from the coma and realised that she had actually died from that gunshot, I saw my world collapse before my eyes," Yang Zi said, tears still flowing from her eyes.

"For eight years, all I ever lived for was to avenge her death. In those eight long years, just to achieve my goal, I got stronger both physically and mentally. I thought I would die alone, not until my cold-hearted boss who mistreated me, confessed his love for me. When you told me you loved me, I felt so furious because my sister died in hands of the man who claimed to love her," Yang Zi said, forcing on a smile.

"When she died, I vowed never to fall in love with any man, but each time you got closer to me, I saw my confidence faltering. This continued until you completely melted my icy heart. If there is something I am grateful to my sister for, it is bringing mum and you to me. It was because of seeking vengeance for her death that I crossed path with you. I will forever remain grateful to her," Yang Zi said, cleaning her tears.

"I won't forget to especially thank her, the day you will introduce her to me," Yifeng said, embracing her. They stayed in each other's embrace quietly for five minutes before Yang Zi spoke up.

"What is your birthday wish? Tell me and I will help you fulfil it," Yang Zi said, pulling out of his embrace.

"My birthday wish is that on my next birthday, you will not stay as my girlfriend but my wife," Yifeng said, staring at her to see how she will react.

"Okay," Yang Zi said, beaming at him.

"Does your reply mean you have agreed to my wish?" Yifeng asked, anxiously.

"As long as you are still willing to make me your wife after our deal is off, why won't I marry you?" Yang Zi asked, still smiling.

"You have said so yourself so, you better don't go back on your words or I will stalk you until you keep your words," Yifeng said, smiling happily.

Wow! Zi Er has agreed to marry me! This is the best birthday gift I have received in my 27 years of existence.

Yifeng thought, embracing her passionately.

"I won't but, if ever you break my heart or betray me, I will leave you and go to a place you will never find me," Yang Zi threatened playfully.

"I won't break your heart. I will cherish you forever and where could you possibly run to that I can't find you?" Yifeng asked jokingly.

"I have so many places I could run to that you can't find me," Yang Zi said, smiling.

"There is no place you will run off to that I won't be able to find you. Even though I have to turn the entire world upside down, I will find you," Yifeng said, confidently.

"Feng, please never break my heart because I don't think I will survive it. I can handle every other thing thrown my way but not betrayals or heartbreak," Yang Zi said, her playful expression suddenly turning serious.

"I hate seeing you in pain, so the last thing I will ever do is hurt you. I want to make you happy forever. That is my lifetime goal," Yifeng said, stroking her face affectionately.

"That is settled then," Yang Zi said, beaming at him.

"Thank you so much for coming into my life," Yang Zi said, caressing his face lovingly.

"I should be the one to thank you," Yifeng said, as he pecked her. They kept on talking until they were both sleepy.

Later that morning, Yifeng and Yang Zi walked hand in hand into the company, beaming as they talked.

The day went perfectly for Yang Zi and Yifeng. All Yifeng's business partners and acquaintance, all sent birthday gifts to Yifeng. His employees were not left out in sending gifts to his office. At the end of working hours, Yifeng's office was filled with gifts.

"Zi Er, aren't you through with work yet? I have been waiting for you for quite a while now, or are you not coming to the party anymore?" Yifeng asked, worried when he still met Zi Er resting her head on her desk when every other employee had gone home to prepare for the upcoming party.

"Feng, I am sorry. I don't think I am coming to the party, I have been feeling so unwell for a while now. I didn't tell you this because I thought I would get better soon," Yang Zi said, holding her head with her hand.

"You are feeling unwell?" Yifeng asked in surprise, rushing to her side.

"If you were feeling unwell, you should have said so. I would have told Cheng Yi to come to check up on you if I had known about this sooner," Yifeng said, kneeling in front of her.

"Hey, you don't have to look so serious. I am not terribly sick," Yang Zi said, cupping his worried face.

"You know just how much I hate seeing you sick, you should have informed me the moment you noticed you were ill. Maybe it's because I haven't scolded you before, that is why you kept such a secret from me," Yifeng said, caressing her face.
