After their breakfast, the adults sat down in the sitting room to talk. Li Chen sitting somewhere far away from them kept his ears wide open so he would be able to capture every word they say.

"Feng, when are you and Zi Er gonna tie the knots so you can give me cute great-grandchildren to play with?" Grandpa asked, staring at the both of them. From a while ago he had noticed the awkwardness between this two but he did not say a word about it. Seeing them still ignore each other, he could not help but wonder what happened to the both of them.

​​

"Grandpa, we haven't even gotten engaged and you are talking about a wedding? You know that is not how things are done in this era and besides Grandpa, there is still a lot of time. There is no need for us to rush things," Yang Zi replied in a playful tone when she saw the hesitation on Yifeng's face.

"But we want you and brother Feng to get married soon. Mi Er can't wait to have a little sister. She has even come up with names for them," Li Chen interrupted abruptly. He looked away the moment Yifeng threw him a murderous glare.

"Chen, haven't I told you not to interrupt when adults are talking?" Grandpa scolded sternly.

"Sorry, Grandpa. We are all very anxious for our darling sister Zi Er and brother Feng to get married, I couldn't control myself earlier," Li Chen apologised meekly.

"It's ok that you have realised your mistake," Grandpa said, as he turned and face the couple.

"Zi Er, if Feng proposed to you now, will you reject his proposal because there is still a lot of time or will you accept his proposal?" Grandpa Li asked in a serious tone.

"Grandpa, do you have to ask that? Of course, I will accept his proposal," Yang Zi blurted out, smiling happily.

"Feng, if Zi Er is this anxious to get married to you then what is the need to waste so much time?" Grandpa Li asked as he focused his attention on Yifeng.

"In the past, weren't you ready to go against my wishes just to get married to her so why are you so quiet today? Don't you want to marry her?" Grandpa Li asked firmly.

"Are you taking my beautiful granddaughter for granted just because she has spent a few nights at your Mansion? Will you only see her importance when another man takes her away from you?" Grandpa Li indirectly scolded him.

"Grandpa, what are you saying? Out of all the men in the world I am the only one who qualifies to marry her so, she won't get married to anyone except me...,"

"And what qualifications do you have that another man doesn't have?" Grandpa Li challenged him.

"Zi Er is smart, beautiful and filthy rich. She is the best daughter-in-law any parent could ever wish to have...,"

"Zi Er is filthy rich?" Yifeng repeated his Grandpa's words.

"What do you mean by that? Do you know something about her that I don't know?" Yifeng asked, throwing his Grandpa a suspicious glance. Yang Zi's heart began thumping rapidly when she heard Yifeng's question. She was so scared that her cover as the world's best designers M would be discovered.

"I meant to say that her family is very rich. Although it's only a few people who know that it is her deceased father's family who owns the Yang's Empire, that doesn't change the fact that they are still among the wealthiest family in the country. Am I not right Zi Er?" Grandpa quickly twisted his words.

"Grandpa, you are just flattering me. Compared to Li's wealth and influence we are still far behind. In fact, my family should be learning two or more lessons from you," Yang Zi said smiling. She quickly turned to look at Yifeng after she finished talking.

Since she and Yifeng started dating, they both have been very busy with their problems. She completely forgot to tell him that it was her family which owned the famous Yang's Empire. Out of her seven friends, the only ones who knew these secrets were Shiyi and Shui Shui, the rest didn't know since she hadn't told them. Even she and her mum hasn't told the little Mi Er about this secret too.

"Zi Er, you are acting too humble. If others hear your words they will assume that the Yang's wealth and influence are inferior to the Li's not knowing that our wealth and influence are on the same level," Grandpa Li said, smiling at her.

Li Chen sitting some distance away listening to their conversations covered his mouth with his palms to prevent any exclamation sound from coming out of his mouth when he heard this shocking revelation.

"So Sister Zi Er's family owns the famous Yang's Empire?"Li Chen said, staring at Yang Zi's back.

"So little Mi Er and her family are this rich but they were only keeping a low profile? This is so shocking! I wouldn't have believed it if someone else had revealed this secret to me other than me hearing it from the horse's mouth," Li Chen murmured as he shifted his gaze to Yifeng.

"Why isn't big bro shocked like I am? Did he knew about this?" Li Chen said looking confused.

"Grandpa, stop teasing me or you will make Feng upset with me more than he already is," Yang Zi said playfully, as she leaned on Yifeng's shoulders. She was so relieved when he did not shove her shoulders away.

"Feng, Zi Er, there is something I have always wanted to show the both of you. I am sure your bond will strengthen greatly after seeing this," Grandpa Li said, as he slowly stood up from the white couch.

"Something that will strengthen our bond? Does something like that really exist?" Yang Zi asked as she stood up from the couch too.

"Of course there is. I am a hundred per cent certain that Feng won't be able to get furious with you ever again after you see this," Grandpa Li assured, as he walked towards the stairs.

"If such a thing exists then I can't wait to see it," Yang Zi said as she hurried after him. When she reached him, she held his hand and they both climbed upstairs.
