Immediately, as he threw that question at her, she avoided his gaze. Her actions showed that she was trying so hard to hide something from him. Everything about her showed that she felt uneasy about his question, which was unlike her. Every time he questioned her about her feelings for him, she always outrightly told him she did not have feelings for him, so Yifeng was surprised to see her silent.

"The... the rain is getting heavier. Let's get to the car," Yang Zi said, hurriedly trying to walk away, but Yifeng yanked her back to himself.

​​

"I want to hear your answer first," Yifeng said, looking into her eyes. She looked uncomfortable. He could read that all over her.

"Do you like me?" Yifeng repeated his question. His face inches closer to hers. His heart jubilated when he saw her close her eyes.

"I like you and I will take responsibility for it," Yifeng said, capturing her half-parted lips. He kissed her slowly. He wanted to savour the taste of her delicious lips for a long time that is why he did not kiss her in a rush.

Yang Zi subconsciously wrapped her hands around his neck to gain full access to his lips. Despite how hard she tried to control it. Her body craved for more of him. She couldn't resist it, no matter how hard she tried.

Yifeng's hands romanced her back as he kissed her. He wished this moment would never end, but he knew that wasn't possible since they still had to go home. Even when the rain poured like it was against their union, Yifeng refused to release her lips. He sucks her lower lips hungrily. Though it was raining heavily, Yang Zi felt like her entire body was on fire. Their kiss was so intense.

They kissed for a long time until they were both left gasping for air after their heated kiss. Under the rain, Yifeng stares into her eyes lovingly. He only came back to his senses when he saw Yang Zi shiver under the rain.

"Let's hurry to the car," Panting Yifeng said. He held her left hand as he ran towards the direction their car was parked. Before they reached the car, they were soaked.

Yang Zi panted heavily as she rested her head against the seat. After the intense kiss, she wasn't given the opportunity to gasp for air and they had to run again.

"Are you Ok?" Yifeng asked, staring at her affectionately, but she avoided his stares.

"Do you have your PTDS with you," Yifeng said, grabbing her bag. He was also breathing heavily but he careless about himself because all his thought was that her trauma had kicked in.

"I don't... I don't need them anymore," Yang Zi exclaimed, still not sparing him a glance. This single action of hers hurt him.

"Are you avoiding me?" Yifeng asked, aiming to hold her hand, but she quickly retracted her hands. Yifeng stared at her nonchalant expression before he turned around and grabbed the towel lying on the backseat.

"Use this to dry yourself. We will talk when we reach the Mansion," Yifeng said, handing her the white towel. He drove off afterwards.

Their journey back to the Mansion was a silent one. Yifeng wanted to talk to her, but he knew she would not reply, so he kept quiet. Despite her silence, he was so happy that he didn't see her shiver and hide away as she did back in the forest. This was the fourth time it rained since this year reach. He could only conclude that her condition got a lot better during those times.

When they got to the Mansion, she didn't even wait for the maids to bring them umbrellas, she just ran into the Mansion. Yifeng also refused to use an umbrella too, even when the maids tried to shield him from the rain.

"Why is everywhere so quiet and clean? Where is everyone?" Yang Zi ask the maid standing close to her.

"Young Master Jin declared the party closed over an hour ago. So everyone went back to their various homes," the maid replied, staring at the wet Yang Zi. She really felt envious of her. The Young Miss and her boss just met, but they could tell just how much their boss adored her.

"Everyone leave us now," Yifeng ordered. They didn't wait for him to repeat himself. They all dispersed.

"Come, let me show you where to freshen up," Yifeng said, heading to the stairs. He stopped halfway through the stairs when he couldn't feel her presence behind him. He turned and stare at her.

"Are you gonna stand there all night?" Yifeng asked, staring at her. She reluctantly followed after some minutes of contemplation. His room was on the second floor. At first glance, Yang Zi could tell that the room she just entered was the Master's room.

"Shouldn't you have taken me to the guestroom? What am I doing in your bedroom?" Yang Zi asked, not willing to take a step forward until he explained. Yifeng did not answer her question immediately. He went into a room at the far left corner and came back with a set of black pyjamas.

"The room I just came out from is my dressing room, you can find anything of your taste to wear after you finish showering and that room over there is the bathroom. Everything you need is in there. I will come back to check up on you after I am through," Yifeng said, pointing to the bathroom door. He headed towards the entrance afterwards.

"Where are you going?" Yang Zi asked, before he could exit the room.

"I am heading to the guestroom to freshen up. I have dismissed all the maids for the day. You don't have to worry about them barging in on you," Yifeng said, not waiting for her to reply. He went to the guestroom and quickly took his bath because he was dying to speak to her. He came out of the room within five minutes. He put on his causal dress without even drying his wet hair. He hurried to his room, but a thought stopped him.

"Ladies take a longer period to take their take their bath, I am sure she is still in the bathroom so let me wait a few more minutes," Yifeng said, pacing around the well-furnished guestroom. He waited for another fifteen minutes before he rushed to his room. Since the room she was staying in was his room, he completely forgot to knock. He flew the door open.

He had expected to see her in his mini sitting room. He panicked when he didn't see her there. He checked his dressing room, but she was nowhere to be seen.

"Where is she? Don't tell me she ran off because she did not want to see me," Yifeng thought, sluggishly walking to his bedroom. He looked so devastated as he opened his bedroom door.

"Wow....," Yifeng remarked. His eyes were at the brink of falling out as he stared at the lady's flawless skin. He stood there rooted to the floor. He couldn't take a step further. Yang Zi whose upper body was fully exposed did not rush in putting on the white long sleeve shirt. She took her time in wearing her clothes. She acted as if she did not know that Yifeng was staring at her upper body lustfully.

"Are you gonna stand there all night?" Yang Zi asked, after she was through buttoning the shirt.

"Oh...," Yifeng remarked, entering the room. He closed the door behind him. Yang Zi turned around to face him. She gave him a piercing glare.

"What??" Yang Zi asked, her piercing glare now turning to a curious one. "Why are you giving me that weird gaze? Can't you talk?" Yang Zi asked, removing the towel from her waist only to expose her sexy long legs. Yifeng gulped hard, licking his lips hungrily. Her fully exposed legs looked so tempting. It is only a man of strong willpower that could resist rushing at her.

"Hey stop drooling over me! You can only have a full view of it but you cannot touch so drop your gaze down or I will be forced to knock you out," Yang Zi threatened, sitting down on his enormous bed. His bedroom was painted with a combination of navy blue and white. His white and blue bedsheets complimented the colour of the room.

Yang Zi stare at the awestruck man before her lost for words to say to scold him.

Meeting her in that state a moment ago was not deliberate. When Yifeng went out of the room earlier after showing her where the bathroom and the dressing room was located. She took her time to enjoy the beautiful room. She checked out his enormous dressing room. She had taken her sweet time to enjoy his famous collections of limited edition designers suits of different colours and patterns. Yang Zi was surprised when she saw that almost all his clothes was from her brand, M's world but she soon got over the shock.

Yang Zi gawked when she got to where his jewels were neatly arranged in a cabinet. All his golden and diamond wristwatches were top-notch. They were the best of its kind. When she went to the shoe section, the enormous collection of shoes amazed her. When she finished checking his enormous dressing room, she almost mistook it for a boutique.

"He is the first man I have ever met that loves shopping more than a lady? From the looks of it, he will spoil his future wife rotten with gifts," Yang Zi had thought before leaving the dressing room. What took much of her time in the bathroom was because she washed her clothes before taking her bath. It wasn't even up to three minutes after she came out of the bathroom she felt the door flew open.

Since she wasn't facing him, Yifeng assumed she was unbothered by his presence, not knowing that she was dumbstruck as him. She had wanted to turn around and shout at him for barging in like that, but she remembered she wasn't putting on any clothes.
