"Wen Min, can we not talk about that incident? I am over it now so I would really appreciate it if you don't bring it up, " Yang Zi, who was not comfortable with the topic about the past she did her best to forget stated her displeasure. Wen Min, who did not know what to talk about, kept quiet.

It has been two years since they last spoke and saw each other so it would have been weird if they did not act awkward around each other.

​​

"So, how are you and Shiyi now? Have you both got married or are you about to get married?" Yang Zi broke the lengthy silence. The moment she mentioned Shiyi's name, there was a shift in Wen Min's emotions and the change in emotion was visible on her beautiful face.

"Where I was isn't modernized, there is electricity but anything related to technology was scarce, that is why it was hard to get news on you guys. If my question makes you uncomfortable then you don't have..., "

"Shiyi broke up with me before you even left, two years ago. There is nothing like Shiyi and Wen Min anymore," Wen Min relayed, in a very sad tone. Her sadness touched Yang Zi's, stony heart.

"Shiyi broke up with you? How come I wasn't aware of this and what did you do for him to break up with you? Did you perhaps upset him in any way?" Yang Zi asked curiously.

"I could never make him upset but despite that I didn't do anything wrong, I can't blame him for treating me so coldly. What my cousin did was not pardonable so Shiyi's anger was justified. Yifeng is my blood, so it is only fair that I get punished for his mistakes," Wen Min said before she turned and stared into space.

My love was just unrequited, I am happy that I got to be with him even though it was just for a brief period. Even though my story ended badly, I am still happy that I got to be with the man I love. I don't resent anyone for my bad luck.

Wen Min thought as she forced on a painful smile. Yang Zi just stared at her not knowing what to say to comfort the sad lady.

Why is it that I am always the source of her unhappiness? From the beginning, she always loved him but unfortunately, the one she loved was in love with me. Be it when Shiyi treated her coldly because he was in love with me or when he broke up with her, I was always responsible for her unhappiness. Why did our fate have to be so twisted? For how long is she gonna remain unhappy because of me?

Yang Zi thought, her gaze still focused on Wen Min's face.

Meanwhile, in a restaurant, a little girl of ten years who just entered the restaurant was directed to a table close to the transparent glass. As she did not place an order right away, it was obvious that she was waiting for someone.

While waiting for her partner, she brought out her cell phone from her little chained handbag. She started playing games afterwards.

About five minutes later, she felt the presence of someone beside her. Curious to see who it was, she took her gaze off her phone. Her mouth dropped open in shock when she got a glimpse of the person standing beside her chair. The phone in her hand slipped off out of shock. Having expected this reaction from her, the tall handsome boy bent and caught the phone before it could smash against the hard floor. He slowly stood up to his full height after he had caught the cellphone. He smiled sweetly at the stunned girl.

"Chen Chen!" Yang Mi who finally found her voice remarked with a mixture of surprise and confusion.

"Why are you here?" Yang Mi asked, still staring up at the boy whose face was glowing. From the beautiful smile on his face, she could see and even feel that he was happy to see her.

"You didn't trick Ji Er, my best friend to make me come here, did you?" Yang Mi asked as she stood up to her feet. The happy Li Chen hugged her tightly before she could scold him.

"Little sister, I am so happy to have you back. Thank you for coming back to me," Li Chen said as he hugged her tighter. Even though other customers were staring at them weirdly, he did not mind. He continued to hug Yang Mi.

"Li Chen, let go of me," Yang Mi said sternly. Li Chen slowly pulled away.

"Mi Er, what is wrong? In the past, you hardly called me by my name, did I perhaps do something wrong?" Li Chen asked in a worried tone, as he stared at the little girl who looked angry. Seeing her sit without uttering a word to him, he walked over to the opposite chair and sat down.

"What did you say or promise Ji Er to make her agree to help you? The Ji Er I know, wouldn't have agreed to help you if you did not promise her something big so tell me what you gave her in exchange for her tricking me to come here," Yang Mi asked him.

"I promised to treat her friends out. You may not know but I am a very popular swimmer now. Some months ago, I even won an international swimming competition. Her friends are one of my top fans and I also think that they have a crush on me. Aren't you proud of me?" Li Chen said as he smiled radiantly at her.

"Li Chen, why did you have to trick me into coming here? What will you do if my mum finds out about this?" Yang Mi asked firmly.

"The last thing I want is for my mum to get mad at me or hurt because of me. My mum had suffered so much all these years. It took her a lot of time and effort before she became normal again. I don't want anything that will trigger her pain," Yang Mi said emotionally.
