"Who will I be referring to if not he?" Shiyi replied, pointing his index finger at Yifeng. "You no longer spend time with us like you often do now that you are friends with him. You don't need us again," Shiyi said unhappily. Since Yang Zi became friends with Yifeng, they hardly got to see her. He could count the number of times he had seen her for the past three months using his fingers. He was not happy with the recent development.

"Shiyi, even though I become his wife, our relationship as friends and brother will never change. I value you and Shui Shui so much. You guys are my true friends. I hold you guys dear to my heart," Yang Zi said, touching his face. She has noticed recently that Shiyi is always sad. He hardly smiled like he usually does, and this worried her. She will do anything to make sure he is happy.

​​

"Are you saying you will be his wife? You know he doesn't deserve you right. You are too good for him," Shiyi said, holding her hands to his chest.

"Girl, pardon me for my inquisitiveness but are you perhaps a couple or ex-lovers? I am asking because you look too close for mere friends," Wen Min, who just surfaced from the crowd in the company of Su Jin and Shui Shui, asked curiously. Yang Zi slightly moved away from Shiyi when she heard Wen Min's question.

"Feng, how could you let them be when that jerk was flirting with your woman? You are too quiet and cool-headed for my likeness," Su Jin who just sat down beside Yifeng asked, staring at him in disbelief. He found it hard to believe that his best friend will remain calm under such circumstances.

Yifeng pretended as if he didn't hear him. He continued glancing at Yang Zi.

"Aren't you going to answer her question? We are all waiting to hear your reply," Yifeng said when Yang Zi said nothing, even after they have all sat down.

"What will you do if they are dating or are ex-lovers?" Shui Shui asked irritated. Yang Zi quickly nudged her by the elbow to stop her from speaking further. Shui Shui frowned and looked away.

"CEO Luo, are you dating Yang Zi or is it a misunderstanding from our part?" Wen Min asked, disappointment written all over her face. Shui Shui, Su Jin and Yang Zi could see her disappointment.

"Don't get it, twisted guys, Shiyi and I are best friends. We are more like brothers, we have known each other since our days in high school. We are closer than blood-related siblings. Does this answer my question?" Yang Zi said, staring at each of their faces. She could not pinpoint what made them assume she and Shiyi were lovers when it was crystal clear that they were just friends.

"What about you, Mr Luo? Are you and Yang Zi mere friends or are there romantic feelings involved?" Su Jin asked firmly. Everyone's attention moved to Shiyi. Shiyi could not utter a word to his defence. He just stared at Yang Zi to see her reaction.

"Guys, please stop it. I don't like how you guys are picking on Shiyi. He is sad as it is, so please don't worsen it," Yang Zi pleaded. The only person who understood Shiyi's feelings at that moment was Shui Shui. She squeezed his hands tightly to tell him not to utter a word.

"Zi Er is right. We have been talking since we arrived here, forgetting about where we are. We are in the club, not in the church that we need to make confessions so let's enjoy our time here," Shui Shui said, opening one bottle of wine. Even as they drank, the vibes surrounding them were very dull and this annoyed Yang Zi.

"I am never going out with any of you again if you guys ruin the surprise I prepared. Chill or you will forever make me your enemy and you know how scary being my enemy can, right," Yang Zi threatened. Everyone immediately cheered up after they heard her threats. Su Jin, Wen Min and Yifeng knew they were at the losing end if they don't do what Yang Zi said unlike Shui Shui and Shiyi who have befriended her for years. They drank and talked for a long time. Just when Yang Zi, Shui Shui and Wen Min wanted to head to the dance floor downstairs another guest of theirs arrived.

"Jin Xiaofei!" Su Jin exclaimed the moment he set his eyes on the guest.

"Hello, everyone, meet my friend Jin Xiaofei. He is the CEO of J&X Corporation," Shui Shui introduced, holding his arms as she smiled brazenly at everyone.

"I can see familiar faces. Miss Yang, right?" Jin Xiaofei asked, staring at her. Her face and eyes reminded him of someone, but he could not pinpoint who it was.

"Wow, how did you know my name? I don't remember meeting you before," Yang Zi said, staring at him. He had such a striking resemblance to her uncle when he was younger, according to the pictures of him she saw.

"I was present in the award ceremony the President specifically prepared for you and also I have heard so much about you from Shui Shui here. It's an honour to meet such a reputable lady like you. You look just like the first time I saw you, extremely beautiful," Jin Xiaofei complimented stretching his hand for a handshake.

"Shui Shui darling, am I safe?" Yang Zi asked playfully, pointing at Xiaofei's outstretched hands.

"He is not one of my prized possession that I can tell you not to touch and even though I wanted to protect him from someone, it's surely not from you," Shui Shui said unwrapping her hands around Xiaofei's arms.

"I feel like I have seen you somewhere before now. You look so unbelievably familiar," Jin Xiaofei said, still shaking hands with her.

"I as well. I feel like I have seen you somewhere. You even look like someone I once knew," Yang Zi said, smiling at him too.

"Maybe you have met when you were both younger, who knows?" Wen Min interrupted.

"Yeah, I heard this world is a small place so I am sure we might have crossed paths somewhere in the past. It's so nice to meet you," Yang Zi said, letting go of his hand.

"It's good to see the three most reputable figures in our midst too. CEO Li, director Su and CEO Luo, it's a pleasure to meet all of you here," Xiaofei greeted. After exchanging pleasantries, Shui Shui dragged the other two ladies up.

"Are you guys joining us? I think it will be more fun if we have you guys downstairs with us," Shui Shui said excitedly. The guys shook their heads, signifying that they were not interested in her offer.

"Watch us dance but don't you guys dare blame us for getting wild on the dance floor," Shui Shui said pulling them along with her. Wen Min did not have high alcohol tolerance, she was already tipsy after the few drinks they had.

"Zi Er, let's dance our usually dance. I bet the guys watching us upstairs will love it," Shui Shui whispered into her ears when they got downstairs. Shui Shui had to repeat the message she wanted to convey to Yang Zi twice because of the loud music.

"Are you sure you want to dance it for the guys or solely for your beloved Xiaofei? You want him to see how good of a dancer you are, right," Yang Zi shouted, swaying her body back and forth.

"Maybe you are right," Shui Shui whispered, smiling. They started dancing the dance moves they both invented. This dance move brought back past happy memories. This dance was the move they invented when her sister was still alive. She and Shui Shui often dance to her songs whenever she sang in school performances or outside the school. They only stop dancing publicly to her song when Zhixiang debuted as a singer. Those days she danced to her sister's songs held one of her happiest memories of her sister.

She felt like tearing up as she and Shui Shui danced the same dance moves. They completely forgot that Wen Min was with them when they came to the dance floor.

"Hey, Shui Shui, you are dancing it wrong again," Yang Zi said, laughing at how clumsy her best friend was. A few minutes later, a guy sneaked up on Yang Zi and hugged her from behind.

"You look so beautiful and sexy. Your body is flexible, you are just my type of lady," The guy whispered, grabbing Yang Zi by the waist.

"Back off already," Yang Zi said, pushing him away.

"What nice bums you have there," another guy said, grabbing Shui Shui's bums. Shui Shui turned around and gave the fine-looking guy a deafening slap on his right cheeks. The guy held his swollen face in anger.

"That is what jerks like you deserve," Shui Shui berated angrily. "Son of a b*tch." Shui Shui grabbed Yang Zi's hand and made to leave, but the two guys obstructed their path.

"Not so fast ladies," they said, smiling devilishly. Because they saw how well dressed and extraordinarily beautiful they were, they thought they were just normal ladies, not knowing that they were devils in human form.
