"Break... break what?" Yifeng asked, speechless. His eyes almost popped out in shock.

"Yeah, if you are gonna keep on blaming yourself for not saving me earlier, then let's just break up," Yang Zi said seriously.

​​

"I am sorry. Don't be mad," Yifeng said, as he caressed her hands tenderly.

"Zi Er, you will not understand how much I desperately wanted to save you from that fiery fire. I wanted to rush and save you, but my legs refused to move. You were just right in front of me, but I couldn't save you. Because of how helpless my condition was, my best friend had to save my woman when I was just right there," Yifeng said painfully.

"Feng, I am not blaming you for not being able to rescue me last night. Just like I once got so terrified each time it rained, I got to know earlier while I was sleeping, that you have a fear of fire. You get terrified each time you witness a car accident because of the accident that claimed your parents' lives. I am perfectly ok knowing that you had the intention of rescuing me so, you don't have to avoid me because of last night's incident," Yang Zi said, caressing his face.

"Zi Er, that you are ok with it doesn't mean that I am fine with it. I can't always rely on others to save my loved ones for me, can I?" Yifeng asked, in a miserable tone.

"You played an important role in helping me overcome my trauma and now that I know about yours, I will help you. I promise to help you so you won't feel so miserable like you did last night," Yang Zi said, as she embraced him.

"I am sure that with my help, your scar will heal faster," Yang Zi said, stroking his hair.

Yifeng abruptly pulled away from her embrace, looking like he just recalled something.

"How are you? Are you hurt anywhere? Are you hungry?" Yifeng asked, staring into her eyes with so much concern.

"I bet you must be hungry. I will have Feng Shu bring you your favourite delicacies and you can have whatever you want to eat," Yifeng said, as he quickly removed his phone from his trouser pocket and dialled someone's number.

"That means I can eat my favourite chocolate cake, right?" Yang Zi asked, staring into his eyes with hope-filled eyes.

"Hmm....," Yifeng hesitated just to arouse Yang Zi's expectations even more.

"I thought you said I could eat whatever I desire, are you going back on your words?" Yang Zi asked, like an over-pampered child.

"I will have Yuan Quan deliver it to the hospital," Yifeng said before he began speaking with someone on the phone. After giving the person at the other end his orders, he disconnected the call.

"Feng, what about the others? I don't see anyone around," Yang Zi, who noticed that no one except Yifeng in her VIP hospital room asked worriedly.

"Your mum and Mi Er couldn't stop crying when they visited you in the hospital last night. I forced them to go home this morning. Shui Shui refused to move a muscle from your side last night. Because of too much crying, her eyes were so puffy this morning. Xiaofei and mum had a really hard time in persuading her to go for the shooting of her current TV show," Yifeng held his breath.

"I could imagine just how scared my little Mi Er must have been when she saw me lying lifelessly on this hospital bed and thank you very much for forcing my mum to go home. I know it must have been hard on you to achieve that," Yang Zi replied meekly.

"Shiyi just left a few minutes ago. I guess luck wasn't on his side today, he would have seen you awake if he did not have to leave for an important board meeting. He was also really reluctant to go," Yifeng relayed, his gaze focused on her face. He was so happy that despite that terrible accident last night, Yang Zi did not sustain serious injuries.

"He must have felt so dejected last night. A thousand words must have rushed through his innocent mind when he saw that car almost fell off the cliff. I can't fathom the amount of pain he must have been in," Yang Zi said sadly when she recalled Shiyi's sobbing voice last night.

"Su Jin and Xiaofei also left the hospital directly to the office this morning," Yifeng said.

"What about Wen Min?" Yang Zi asked curiously.

"She just stepped out of the room to get something minutes ago. She stubbornly refused to go to work, saying she wanted to stay by your side until you were awake. I couldn't talk her out of it so I just let her do what she wanted," Yifeng replied.

"Wow! I never knew that Wen Min loved me so much, haha...," Yang Zi laughed. She abruptly stopped laughing when she felt a sharp pain in her ribs.

"Are you ok? You don't have to do this just to cheer me up," Yifeng said when he realised she seemed to be in pain.

"I am not pretending. I am just happy that so many people love me so much: I feel like I did a very good deed in my past life that is why God blessed me with so many wonderful people in this lifetime," Yang Zi said seriously.

Just then the door opened. Yang Zi smiled weakly when she saw Wen Min's astonished face.

"Wow! You are finally awake," Wen Min remarked, rushing to her side in a flash.

"Gently," Yifeng warned when Wen Min just abruptly hug Yang Zi.

"Zi Er, I am so glad you are awake. I was extremely worried yesterday when I learned about your accident," Wen Min said, refusing to let go of Yang Zi.

Last night she was in the restaurant eagerly waiting for Shiyi since they had a date that night. She had become so worried when an hour passed, and yet Shiyi did not show up or called to tell her he couldn't make it. She had waited for him in the restaurant for over three hours before Su Jin called to inform her that Yang Zi had an accident and that everyone was in the hospital. When she rushed over to the hospital, she met Shiyi pacing about the front of the hospital. From merely seeing him, she could tell that he had forgotten everything about their plan.

Since the situation wasn't favourable, she mentioned nothing about the date to him.

"I am more thrilled that I got to see your pretty face again," Yang Zi said, patting her back. Wen Min released Yang Zi when Yifeng tapped her to let go of Yang Zi. The three continued talking for a long time.

"Feng, did the police catch the motorcycle men who were responsible for the accident? Did they mention who the mastermind is?" Yang Zi asked seriously.

"After the wrecked, they caused last night, only one of them survived when the ambulance arrived. He is in a very critical state, so the police couldn't get any statement from him. We are all waiting for him to come out of the coma so he will tell us who the mastermind is," Yifeng narrated in a calm too.

Yesterday, after he was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance, he had woken up when they reached the hospital. He had almost slapped a police officer last night because of how furious and frustrated he was.

"Oh, Ok. We will just have to wait for him to wake up from coma then," Yang Zi said, showing lack of interest. Since the incident nine years ago, she had lost trust in the police. She would never trust them in this lifetime after all they put her through. She preferred carrying out her investigation than waiting for them.

"Zi Er, don't worry, I will make whosoever is responsible for yesterday's incident pay dearly for what they did," Yifeng said fiercely.

For the pain they put my woman through, I will make sure I will repay them in a thousand folds. I will make sure they feel the same misery and pain I went through.

Yifeng thought furiously.

"I know you will," Yang Zi said, staring at him affectionately.

"Feng, what about the men you put in charge of protecting me? I hope you didn't fire them after what happened yesterday?" Yang Zi asked anxiously.

"After undergoing the normal punishments for disobeying my orders, I fired them and also made sure they won't get any job for the rest of their lives," Yifeng said angrily, Wen Min moved to the left-hand side of the bed when she realised Yifeng was seriously angry.

After the incident that occurred in the resort, she got terrified each time Yifeng got angry, especially over anything concerning Yang Zi. From his murderous glares last night and that night in the resort, she could vow that her cousin would not hesitate to kill for Yang Zi's sake.

She just watched them talk quietly without disrupting their conversation.
