A chuckled escaped from Yang Zi's mouth when she heard Yifeng's correction. His words made her recall how he corrected her in the same manner when she recently started working for him.

Who the hell does she think she is to laugh at me? She should be thankful Feng is here or else I would have shown her where she belongs.

​​

"Boss, as I was saying earlier...,"

"Since it is true, that someone died because of their negligence, inform them that BEST Enterprise's legal team will not be representing their company in court," Yifeng said with a tone of finality.

"But Feng...,"

"There will be consequences if you call me Feng just one more time in the office," Yifeng interrupted sternly.

"And you may leave," Yifeng said, instantly turning to face Yang Zi standing in front of his desk.

"Call me Feng," Yang Zi read Yifeng's moving lips. He sneaked a peep at the standing Zhao Liying and repeated the same words to Yang Zi. Knowing perfectly why Yifeng asked him to do that, she refused to grant his request.

"Severe punishments awaits you in your apartment if you refuse to call me Feng," Yang Zi read his moving lips yet again.

Yang Zi turned and glanced at Zhao Liying, who was now approaching the exit.

"Feng, these are the documents. Mrs Shen said she needs it approved within fifteen minutes," Yang Zi conceded defeat, as she handed the documents to Yifeng. Yifeng grinned wickedly when he saw Zhao Liying abruptly halted. She turned and stared at the pretending couple with a displeased expression.

"Feng, she just called you by your pet name and you didn't reprimand her like you did to me. You are being so unfair...,"

"For repeating the same mistake thrice in a row, even when I cautioned you, just know that your next three months' bonus will not be credited into your account," Yifeng spoke fiercely.

"Yang Zi, I know that you called him Feng deliberately to make me jealous. You are petty for doing that....,"

"I remember telling you to leave. Don't blame me for cutting your another of your four months' salary for disobeying my orders," Yifeng warned coldly.

"You are so mean," Zhao Liying shouted angrily as she stomped out of the office in anger.

Yang Zi could not hold back the laughter anymore. She bursted out in a deafening laughter, seeing Zhao Liying stomp out in a rage. Seeing her so happy, Yifeng could not resist smiling along with her.

"Sorry for my poor manners, boss," Yang Zi said, trying to control her laughter.

"I love seeing you smile so you can continue smiling and you don't have to act so rigid, it's just the two of us here," Yifeng said, grinning at her.

"You are mean but I love that about you," Yang Zi said, smiling brightly at him.

"I love you more," Yifeng said, as he skimmed through the documents and signed them.

Work went smoothly that day. Yang Zi had to leave Yifeng behind in the office, since she had to stay at the main Mansion for that night.

....

In an exclusive high-end bar, Yifeng and Su Jin sat in a dimly lit corner of the bar, drinking.

"Feng, how are you and Zi Er? How was your surprise date with her?" Su Jin asked, sipping his wine.

"We are perfect and our date was fabulous? It went far beyond what I imagined," Yifeng said, beaming.

"I guess your reply means I will be a godfather soon," Su Jin teased, his gaze on his happy friend.

"You can say that again," Yifeng remarked proudly.

"Are you going to propose to her on your birthday party?" Su Jin asked curiously.

"No, the three months duration hasn't expired yet. I am a hundred percent certain that Zi Er will reject me if I propose to her. I have to wait a little more," Yifeng said, gulping down the remaining drink in his glass.

"Did she say why she is still reluctant to accept your proposal? Is she still wary of your love for her?" Su Jin asked, seeing the sudden changes in Yifeng's expression.

"She did not say she will reject me, but I just know she will reject my proposal if I do it. I understand she is having some problems. Even though she isn't willing to get married to me just yet, I am ok with that as long as she doesn't leave me. I will wait until Yang Zi is willing to love me as much as I love her," Yifeng said, gulping down another glass of whiskey.

"I know you understand all she is going through, even though she doesn't disclose it to you. Although I am aware of this but, I also know just how much you want to make her yours forever...,'

"And that will happen soon enough. It's just a matter of time before she will become Mrs Li," Yifeng said, smiling.

"I am eagerly waiting for the day you will get married to your dream woman, Yang Zi. I will be right there to cheer you on when that happens," Su Jin said, smiling at him too. Yifeng continued drinking without uttering a word.

"When will it be my turn to cheer for you? Auntie has called to complain several times about you not showing up on all the arranged dates she set up for you. The last time she called, she was pretty upset," Yifeng said, staring at Su Jin's carefree expression.

"Soon or maybe never? There is a lady I was interested in, but I gave up my feelings for her happiness. Since the moment I gave up on her, I also lost the desire to get into any relationship.....,"

"Are you trying to say you are not interested in ever getting married? And who is this mystery lady you were interested in? If you liked her so much, why did you give up on her? How are you gonna explain this to Auntie? I am sure she won't let you have a peaceful day if she learns about your decision," Yifeng said, sounding very concerned.
