"I know you guys might be right, but despite seeing all the danger signs, I still want to give her one more opportunity. If she screws this last opportunity up, then my conscience will be clear as crystals if I do something terrible to her...,"

"Zi Er, what nonsense are you spewing? You aren't thinking about doing a crazy thing such as walking into the enemy's territory, right?" Shui Shui cut her short sharply.

​​

"I won't let you do such a crazy thing like going there alone. I am sure she will be in the company of her friends...,"

"She said it's just the two of us. Her friends aren't accompanying her today," Yang Zi said calmly.

"And you believe her?" Shui Shui huffed, not allowing Shiyi to talk.

"Zi Er, why do you sound so gullible today? Are you sure you are my childhood friend that I have known for over a decade?" Shui Shui asked angrily. The manner she acted showed that she loved Yang Zi way too much to see her hurt. She preferred getting mad at her to stop her from doing something crazy than to see her hurt. 

"Of course, I am the one or have you seen any lady as fearless as me?" Yang Zi asked playfully, just to make them laugh but none of them laughs.

"Does Yifeng know about this crazy plan of yours?" Shiyi asked curiously after about a minute of silence.

"Do you need to ask when the answer is obvious? Feng wouldn't have agreed to her crazy plan. That is why I am sure she has kept it a secret from him. The Feng I know would have made sure he tied her up if needed so she won't step a foot outside her apartment," Shui Shui said, showing no sign of calming down.

"Since you know my plans, I am sure both of you won't utter a word about this to him, right?" Yang Zi asked anxiously.

"Zi Er, no matter how hard you try to coax me into agreeing to that ridiculous plan you have I won't, and trust me I am on my way to your apartment to prevent you from stepping a foot out of there," Shui Shui said, climbing out of bed. She totally forgot that she and Xiaofei were both enjoying their intimate moments before Yang Zi called.

"Shui Shui, can you put your phone on speaker?" Yang Zi ordered meekly. Without thinking about why Zi Er told her to do so, she quickly put the phone on speaker.

"It's on speaker now," Shui Shui informed.

"Xiaofei, can you make sure Shui Shui doesn't leave your sight tonight? I will hold you a wish if you do this for me," Yang Zi said. 

"Zi Er, how could you ask him to stop me from leaving? That is not fair, and how on earth did you know I was with him?" Shui Shui asked displeased, knowing she cannot win against Xiaofei.

"My guts told me you were with him and I am glad my guess is right," Yang Zi said, walking into her dressing room.

"Zi Er, you are cruel to have involved him in this...,"

"I know, he is the only person you can never win against that is why I asked him for that favour....,"

"Zi Er, no matter what you do, I am coming with you. I will not let you go there alone," Shiyi said, climbing down from his magnificent king's bed.

"I won't talk to you or see you if you follow me," Yang Zi threatened firmly. Shiyi froze on the spot when he heard her threats.

"Zi Er, you can't treat Shiyi like this. As much as I love you very much, you know he has always loved you more. He has a soft spot for you so don't be mean to him or you will hurt his feelings," Shui Shui said, walking towards the dressing room on the right-hand side of the room.

"I am sorry, big bro. I shouldn't have uttered those words to you," Yang Zi instantly apologised when she realised she must have hurt his feelings.

"It's Ok Zi Er. You didn't have to apologise. I understand you don't want me to come along with you and I won't," Shiyi said, walking back to his bed. He lied back down on the bed.

"Shiyi, I am sorry. Please don't be mad at me. I didn't mean to threaten you. Believe me, I didn't mean all I have just said. I said that to dissuade you from following me," Yang Zi explained, removing a black shiny leather trouser from the hanger.

"I am not mad at you, Zi Er. I could never get furious with you," Shiyi said meekly at the other side of the phone.

"Guys, I am still here. Stop making me jealous by speaking so lovely to each other. As you know, I get jealous easily," Shui Shui said playfully, just to ease the tension.

"I know you guys love me so much that is why you don't want me to meet Zhao Liying but trust me, I know what I am doing. I am difficult to mess with. If she thinks she can outsmart me by playing the repentant game, then she is very wrong," Yang Zi said, grinning wickedly. If Zhao Liying wants to apologise like the text message really said, then she will leave her alone, but if she dares try to do something evil, she will pay her back in the same way.

"Instead of Zhao Liying or her friends harming me tonight, they should better watch their backs," Yang Zi said confidently.

"I know you can protect yourself but I will still accompany you in case you need a back-up," Shui Shui said, picking a brown shiny leather jacket. Just then Xiaofei who followed her without her notice hugged her from behind.

"Just keep your man company. I am sure he missed you terribly. Don't deprive him of the joy of spending the night with you because of me," Yang Zi said, with a tone filled with so much understanding. 

"I will come back safely. Await my safe return," Yang Zi said before she quickly disconnected the call.

"Fei, I know I promised to make tonight steamy and pleasurable for you, but I can't right now. I need to accompany Zi Er to the club," Shui Shui said, slowly unwrapping his hands around her waist.

"Why do you think Zi Er is against you, Shiyi, and any other person accompanying her there?" Xiaofei asked calmly, his gaze focused on her flawless face.

"Because she doesn't want to inconvenience us?" Shui Shui replied curiously.

"No, it is because she is certain she can handle this alone. Her feud with Zhao Liying began because of her relationship with Yifeng that is why she wants to resolve it alone. Even though it is a setup on Zhao Liying's part, you know just how alert Zi Er is, nobody can bully her except she let them, so I am sure everything will be fine," Xiaofei said meekly. The meekness of his voice made Shui Shui less worry.

"I know there is nothing Zi Er cannot handle as far as she puts her mind to it, but I can't help but worry about her. I don't want to see any harm coming to her...,"

"And I am certain no harm will come to her. She will protect herself well, if not for your sake but for the sake of Yifeng who is unaware of her plans," Xiaofei said, instantly pulling her closer by the waist.

"I am certain Feng will get upset if he learns about this," Shui Shui said, staring into his eyes.

"How will he know if none of us tells him? Zhao Liying wouldn't be foolish enough to utter a word to him, knowing very well that he will hate her more...,"

"I can't wait for him to formally call off his engagement with her...,"

"We have been talking about Yifeng and Zi Er since a while ago, so why don't we continue with what we were doing earlier before Zi Er called?" Xiaofei said, closing the gap between them.

"I will love to do that but....," Shui Shui trailed hesitantly. 

"But what?" Xiaofei asked curiously. He held her jaw with his right hand, ready to dominate her lips.

"Only if you promise not to bully me in bed tonight?" Shui Shui replied sheepishly. 

"That is not something I can promise you? It happens naturally between a man and a woman in bed so you can't blame me for that...,"

"As long as you put your mind...," Xiaofei kissed her before she could speak further.

He is so cute. I can't help but fall in love with him more and more.

Shui Shui said, straddling her legs around his waist.

Xiaofei carried her in that manner to the bedroom. He gently dropped her on the enormous bed.

"I will ask for forgiveness in advance. Forgive me if I bully you later, Ok?" Xiaofei said before he climbed onto her.
