"It will come, I will make sure of that," Xiaofei assured, patting her hair.

"Chen Chen, have you ever imagined yourself dancing the way mum and Brother Feng do with your future wife?" Yang Mi dancing in Chen's arms asked curiously.

​​

"No, since I am prohibited from getting into any relationship, I have not thought that far about it but dancing this way with the woman I love in the future is not a bad idea," Chen concluded, staring at Yifeng and Yang Zi who looked so engrossed in the dance.

Minutes later, Yang Zi and Yifeng were still holding each other's arm even when the music ended.

"You danced beautifully, I am impressed," Yifeng complimented, still in each other's arms. Other socialites who did not hear what the couples are mumbling to each other watched them with keen interest, wondering what sweet words they must be uttering.

"You too," Yang Zi replied, smiling at him. They slowly let go of each other when they realised people were staring at them. Yifeng hurried to meet his Grandpa when his Grandpa's personal assistant informed him that the Chairman needed his attention.

Seeing that Yifeng was preoccupied, Yang Zi moved around the hall in search of her friends. It was during her search that Zhao Liying blocked her path.

"How do you feel dancing in another woman man's arms? It feels fabulous, right?" Zhao Liying asked loudly, her voice garnering other guests' attention. Seeing that Zhao Liying and her friends were trying to cause a scene, she moved to the right-hand side to pass, but Pei Yan obstructed her path.

"Today is Feng's night. I don't want to make a scene here, so leave my path," Yang Zi said firmly but not sounding angry.

"Yeah, today is Feng's night and as his fiancee, I should be the one spending time with him, not you. You are just his mere secretary, so what gives you the right to be so intimate with my man?" Zhao Liying asked angrily.

"Zhao Liying, if you love Feng the tiniest bit, you wouldn't be doing this here," Yang Zi said calmly.

"I love him, that is why I am doing this. If you were in my shoes, would you watch another woman snatch your man away from you without putting up a strong fight...,"

"What is going on here?" Yifeng who rushed over after seeing his Grandpa, Mi Er and Chen off asked coldly.

"It's your Secretary that started it. She called me cheap and said I don't deserve your....,"

"Stop lying, I never said such a thing," Yang Zi interrupted her sharply.

"Feng, if you think I am lying you can ask Zihua and Pei Yan, they are my witness," Zhao Liying said, sounding so pitiful.

"What Liying said is....,"

"I don't want to hear a word from anyone. If you come here to enjoy the party then do but, if you came here to ruin my party the exit is that way," Yifeng said fiercely pointing his index finger at the exit.

Yifeng held Yang Zi's hands to walk away afterwards, but before they could take a step Zhao Liying spoke a word she shouldn't have uttered.

"Like mother like daughter, both are sl*ts that go after other woman's man," Zhao Liying uttered.

"Oh, I forgot she is not her biological mother, she is just a wretched thing that was picked up from the gutters. Who knows whether her biological mother was a prostitute, that is why her daughter is so slutty," Zhao Liying said, sounding disgusted.

After uttering those despicable words, the next thing everyone heard was the sound of a thunderous slap. Everything happened so fast, nobody actually saw when Yang Zi broke off from Yifeng's hold. What they saw next was her slapping Zhao Liying hard in the face.

"I can tolerate you insulting and embarrassing me but I will never tolerate you downgrading my mum in the presence of everyone, got it?" Yang Zi said furiously.

She should be grateful that we are in the public or I would have beaten her to a pulp for having the effrontery to insult the two women who hold so much importance to me.

Yang Zi thought, trying so hard not to slap Zhao Liying again.

Just then Bai Zihua raised his hand to slap Yang Zi, but Yifeng quickly held his right hand in midst air. He gave it a tight squeeze, making Zihua groan in pain.

"Don't you dare as much as try to lay a hand on my woman, because the day you try this nonsense again, I will not be satisfied even though I break your two hands and legs," Yifeng said, dashing his hand.

"Feng...,"

"Don't you dare utter my name with that filthy mouth of yours or you will regret what I will do to you," Yifeng said, throwing her a murderous glare?

"Zi Er, I am sorry this had to happen. I am sorry that I failed you. This wouldn't have happened if I had officially called off my engagement with her....,"

"It's Ok, you don't have to apologise," Yang Zi said, sounding so understanding.

"What? Did the Almighty CEO Li apologise to her in the presence of everyone? This is unbelievable," People whispered to each other in surprise.

Zhao Liying became afraid when Yifeng mentioned calling off his engagement with her.

"Feng, please hear me out," Zhao Liying said, holding Yifeng's right arm, but before anyone could spell JACK, Yifeng flung her hand violently. If Zhao Liying didn't staggered into Zihua's arms, she would have sustained a terrible fall.

Zhao Liying quickly rushed to meet Su Jin when she realised he was also in the crowd when the incident happened.

"Su Jin, Feng always listens to you please help me talk to him for me. Tell him not to cancel our engagement," Zhao Liying, who never talked nicely to Su Jin unless asking for favours pleaded.

"Zhao Liying, instead of begging me to plead on your behalf, you should be grateful that he didn't call off your engagement three months ago. You should be thankful to me and Zi Er for convincing him not to call off your engagement until the successful launching of the new project the company is embarking on because if not for that, you would have been long gone from his life," Su Jin said indifferently.
