"For loving me, being so understanding and supportive, for not leaving me despite everything Zhao Liying and her friends have done to tear us apart. Thank you for everything," Yifeng said, raising his head to stare at her.

"You are stealing my line. I should be the one to thank you for loving me wholeheartedly, for not giving up on me and for treating me so well. Since we have dated, you never scolded or screamed at me. You have never let the many gossips in the office cloud your judgment. Thank you for everything and I am sorry for bringing so much trouble into your peaceful life," Yang Zi said, caressing his face. Her eyes were filled with so much love.

​​

"No, no, no.. don't say that. I should be the one to apologise for causing you so much pain. I am sorry for not being able to do what they want from me. I know you and your mum wouldn't go through all this trouble if I had broken up with you, just like Zhao Liying and her family wants. I just love you too much that is why I cannot do that. I am...,"

"Shh.... say no more. You have never caused me any pain and you don't have to apologise for the wrong they committed. You are you and not them," Yang Zi said, removing her legs from his lap. She drew closer to him and rested her head on his shoulders.

"I think we should be grateful to them. They might think they were tearing us apart by constantly causing us problems, not knowing that they were doing us a favour. Because of their constant meddling, we got so remarkably close. Our relationship is stronger now and I am confident to say this that there is nothing that can tear us apart. After all we have gone through so much I am confident to say that we are unbreakable now, or don't you agree with me?" Yang Zi asked anxiously, trying to sound relieved.

"You are right. I am happy you said all this. This coming from you, I feel more reassured that you love me," Yifeng said, embracing her passionately. Yang Zi embraced him back. They stayed in that position for over five minutes.

"I bet you must be hungry. Let me have the maids prepare something for you to eat," Yifeng said, patting her hair as he slowly unwrapped his hands around her body.

"I planned on preparing our dinner so you don't have to bother the maids about our meal tonight," Yang Zi said, pulling away from him.

"You are already tired so let them handle the cooking tonight, Ok," Yifeng said caringly.

"I feel happy whenever I prepare our meal so let me do it, hmm?" Yang Zi said coaxed. "Please...," Yang Zi said cutely, seeing that Yifeng was still reluctant to let her cook.

"Ok, but...," Yifeng trailed, making Yang Zi very anxious.

"But what?" Yang Zi asked eagerly. She thought he was still going to object to her preparing their dinner.

"We will cook together," Yifeng said, smiling at her when he saw how nervous she looked.

"Ok, that sounds fun. It has been so long since we last cooked together, so let's get changed first before we head downstairs. I can't wait for us to cook," Yang Zi said, her mood brightening up instantly.

"I am confused. Which one are you looking forward to? Is it cooking or the naughty games we are going to play while cooking?" Yifeng asked, tickling her.

"Hahahaha... Stop it," Yang Zi chuckled. She stood up to avoid his tickles, but Yifeng stood up and ran after her.

"Stop it, stop it...," Yang Zi's laughter filled the room as she ran around the entire room with Yifeng running after her too.

Playing for over nine minutes, they both fell on the bed to relax. Afterwards, they both changed into their casual clothes and went downstairs to cook.

"I was planning to cook pasta. Are you okay with that? We can change to something else if my choice does not go down well with you," Yang Zi said when they got to the kitchen.

"How can I hate what my Wifey chooses for me?" Yifeng asked, hugging her from behind when she tried to carry the cooking utensils from the top of the cupboard.

"Your wife?" Yang Zi asked rhetorically. She abandoned what she was trying to get and turned to face him. Because of his closeness, his entire body was pressing against hers.

"Yes, or are you thinking of leaving after three months is exhausted?" Yifeng asked, displeased that she questioned his words.

"I am not saying I am leaving but....,"

"Say no more. I am Ok knowing that you have no plans of abandoning me for some unknown guy," Yifeng said, bending his head to kiss her exposed collarbone, but Yang Zi prevented him from doing so by pushing his two shoulders backwards.

"No, we are gonna starve to death if you start just yet. Let's continue on cooking, Ok?" Yang Zi said, staring into his suddenly burning eyes. She saw him this way many times, so she wasn't surprised to see him all heated.

What she liked about him is that no matter how naughty their games get, he never went back on his promise. He had not had sex with her, just like he said. She loved the fact that he was a man who stuck to his principles.

"Where is the fun there if we don't play? I love it when we play naughty games more than the cooking itself," Yifeng said cutely, still trying to kiss her, but Yang Zi stops him again.

"Feng, please not now Ok? I am super hungry, so I need us to prepare the meal fast so I will eat," Yang Zi said. She wasn't so hungry like she said. She lied, knowing too well that Yifeng would let go of her if she said so.

"Really?" Yifeng asked suspiciously. His question earned a nod from her.

"Why didn't you say so? I would have had the maids heat the food in the fridge for you if you had said so earlier," Yifeng said with a voice filled with so much concern.

"You don't have to answer my question. After listening to your words now, I know you are hungry and so I am," Yifeng said seriously.

"If that is the case then let's hurry and prepare the meal so we can both eat," Yang Zi said as she made to leave but Yifeng refused to move.

"I only said I am hungry, but you haven't asked me what I want to eat," Yifeng said, sounding displeased.

"You said you wanted to have pasta earlier or have you suddenly changed your mind?" Yang Zi asked, confused.

"Yes, I want to eat pasta but before that, I want to eat something else," Yifeng said staring into her eyes.

"And what is that? I will get it for you if you tell me what it is," Yang Zi said ignorantly. She did not see the mischievous glints in Yifeng's eyes when she agreed to give her what he wanted.

"I want your lips," Yifeng blurted out to the amazement of Yang Zi, who never expected such a response from him.

"My lips?" Yang Zi asked rhetorically. "But my lips are not food, so why do you want my lips?"

"It has been five long days since I last tasted your lips. I have been craving it every passing second in the past five days and now I can't hold back anymore," Yifeng said, as he bent to kiss her.

"Aren't you feeling the same way for me? Despite having you around me every day, I still miss you so much. I want to touch you and hold you in my arms every blessed day, but I have been holding myself back because of the recent happenings," Yifeng said, caressing her hands.

"Let me kiss you. I promise it will only last for a few minutes, hmm," Yifeng coaxed, trying to kiss her on her lips, but Yang Zi avoided his lips.

"I know just how much you want to play with me, but I insist we cook first. I promise I will let you play with me to your heart's satisfaction after we are through having our meals," Yang Zi promised to caress his face.

"You aren't joking, right?" Yifeng asked anxiously.

"If I were you, I wouldn't still be standing here talking. Don't forget the faster we finish cooking and eat, the faster we will play as you want," Yang Zi said playfully.

"Yeah, you are right. I will prepare the ingredients while you boil the pasta. I can't wait for us to get to the bedroom," Yifeng said, pecking her on her forehead before he galloped to the fridge to get all the ingredients they would need. Within five minutes, Yifeng already prepared all the ingredients. They moved to properly cook the pasta afterwards.

Within another fifteen minutes, they finished preparing the meal and even served it. Halfway into eating, Yifeng dropped his cutlery on the table and cleaned his mouth. He went and stood behind her.
