On Thursday night, five days after Yifeng's birthday party, Yang Zi received a pleading message from someone whom she never expected. Even after reading the message for the 30th time, she still found it hard to believe that a lady who loathed her to the core would politely ask her out.

"Yang Zi, do you know that since that night in Feng's party, Feng refused to talk to me. Even though we all worked in the same building, he has banned me from entering his office because of how I made things difficult for you. After pondering about this incident for a long time, I have realised my mistakes and I want to make amendments. I feel terrible for all the horrible things I have done to you. You are a fellow woman like me, so instead of blaming you for Feng's betrayal, I should have confronted Feng. Apart from realising my mistakes, I have also decided to accept the fact that Feng will never love me no matter how hard I try. This reality is painful, but I have accepted my fate. Yang Zi, I want to apologise to you face to face for how mean I have treated you so can we meet in D.O Club. I promise I will no longer make things difficult for you and also Pei Yan and Zihua will not be present so you don't have to worry," Yang Zi read Zhao Liying's message for the 31st time.

​​

Each time she read the message, it always felt like she was daydreaming.

So I am not daydreaming. This message really exists.

Yang Zi thought after pinching herself to make sure whether it was actually reality or her imagination. 

"Should I tell Feng about this?" Yang Zi mumbled, dialling Yifeng's line.

No, no, Feng will never agree to this. He will do everything possible to make sure I don't step foot out of my apartment, so telling him about this is a bad idea.

Yang Zi thought, instantly disconnecting the line. She continued thinking about whom she could disclose this secret to in case something happened to her there

"Oh, yeah...," Yang Zi exclaimed, acting as though she had recalled something. 

"Why didn't I think of calling Shui Shui and Shiyi first? Shiyi will definitely find me if perhaps anything goes wrong," Yang Zi said happily, as she quickly put a conference call across to Shiyi and Shui Shui.

"What's up? Seeing you call this night, I bet you didn't spend the night over at Feng's Mansion," Shui Shui teased playfully. Her grip around the guy's body lying on the bed tightened.

"Stop teasing me or you won't like it if I start mine," Yang Zi warned playfully.

"I am just stating the truth, Zi Er. You wouldn't have had the time to call us if you were with Feng since the both of you would have been playing all kinds of naughty games by now," Shui Shui said, teasing the guy's bare chest with her ticklish tongue.

Xiaofei who didn't want to disrupt their calls only let her tease him without avenging himself.

"Shui Shui, you and Zi Er can tease each other some other time, but as of now let her at least tell us why she called. I am sure Zi Er has something important to say, that is why she called us at this hour," Shiyi interrupted them calmly. 

Shui Shui could not help but agree with Shiyi's words when she realised it was 11:30 pm.

"Zi Er, I am sorry for acting naughty earlier when you had something important to discuss with us. You can go ahead with what you planned to say," Shui Shui apologised meekly. They both anxiously waited for Yang Zi to speak, but she never did.

"Zi Er, are you there?" Shiyi asked, alarmed that something terrible might have happened

Yang Zi just held unto her phone, not knowing how to disclose the news to them. She knew they would surely freak out by what she was going to say.

"Zhao Liying, invited me out for a drink in D.O Club," Yang Zi blurted, bracing herself for their reaction.

"What!" Shiyi and Shui Shui exclaimed in shock. Shui Shui whose upper body was on Xiaofei's body instantly sat up. Her actions startled Xiaofei, who wasn't aware of what they were discussing. Shiyi on the other end who was lying down on his magnificent bed sat up with his head resting against the upper edge of the bed.

"Guys, relax and let me explain...," Before Yang Zi could speak further, Shui Shui cut her short sharply.

"Did you just say we should relax? What is so relaxing about what you have just said?" Shui Shui, whose hatred towards Zhao Liying was at its peak, chided.

"She said she wants to apologise for all the wrongs she has...,"

"She wants to apologise and you believe that nonsense?" Shui Shui asked furiously, as though she was talking to Zhao Liying. She can recall the number of times she almost rushed over to pull Zhao Liying's hair each time she started her troubles. If not for Yang Zi and Shiyi, she would have appeared at the front page of the magazine and new papers so many times for physically abusing a lawyer. 

When she learned back, then that the witch was responsible for poisoning Chen, she had loaded her gun ready to go and blow off her head for doing such a despicable thing to such a little boy but Shiyi stopped her. After learning the truth about the poisoning, the two of them had decided to keep the secret from Yifeng and the rest so it will not lead to unimaginable disaster. Shui Shui was sure that Wen Min would have long murdered Zhao Liying if she had known that it was Zhao Liying who poisoned her little cousin.

"Zi Er, I am sure she and her two best friends are up to something evil again. So you can't possibly go there. I am certain it is one of their traps to set you up again," Shiyi said seriously.
