"Feng, yesterday since I was going on a far distance, I ordered them to stay behind. When they refused to obey my commands, I had threatened to report them to you. As you can see, they had no other choice but to do my bidding because of my threats, so I want you to forgive them," Yang Zi said seriously.

"Zi Er, I am sorry I can't do what you asked of me. I could joke around with every other thing that concerns me, but I could never joke around with your life," Yifeng said firmly. His tone and expression show that he would not change his decision.

​​

"Feng, if someone should be punished here it should be me not them. I told them to take the evening off because the journey was a lengthy one and because I didn't know that I would encounter any danger on the way so please pardon them for my sake?" Yang Zi pleaded, caressing his hands affectionately to soothe his anger.

"Feng, even though you won't take them back, how about you uplift the ban on them ever having a decent job? If you don't uplift the ban not only will they suffer but their entire family will suffer along with them and knowing that I am the sole reason for their suffering I will never be happy with myself so how about you do me this favour," Yang Zi insisted when she saw Yifeng was adamant about the issue.

"The punishment I gave to them was a fair one, even they can testify to it so stop pleading for them because I won't change my decision," Yifeng said unwaveringly.

"Feng, Zi Er is pleading with you so sincerely, can't you just let it go? Besides, whatever was fated to happen would have happened even though a thousand bodyguards were guarding her, so you can't blame anyone else except the mastermind of the incident for what happened," Wen Min spoke her mind fearlessly.

"And arguing with a sick person is adding more stress to her, and this might worsen her condition so just do what she wants," Wen Min added, tilting her head sideways almost immediately when Yifeng threw her a murderous glare.

"Feng, just think about it. Recommending them for another job in another organisation is a win-win for you and them: for them, they will have a source of livelihood while you will continually have their loyalty thereby making it a win-win situation," Yang Zi refused to give up just like that.

"Feng, please..... Ouch," Yang Zi exclaimed in pains holding her right ribs.

"Zi Er, what is wrong?" Yifeng asked worriedly. Her scream of anguish melted away all his anger.

"Look at what I was talking about. Your argument has stressed her out to the point that she is in pains. This wouldn't have happened if you had agreed to what she wanted," Wen Min quickly shifted the blame on Yifeng.

"Wait, let me go call the doctor but make sure you listen to whatever your sick woman says before the doctor arrives if you don't want to see her in pains," Wen Min said. She used the excuse of calling the doctor to give them some privacy.

"Shiyi's board meeting should have begun by now, I can't wait for him to visit the hospital after wrapping up everything," Wen Min now outside the VIP room mumbled heading towards the chair in the corridor.

"Beauty since you want me to recommend them for another job, I will do it just for your sake so please let's stop arguing. It has just has not been long since you woke up, I have missed you very much so let's talk about us instead of wasting our time arguing about unimportant people," Yifeng said as he wrapped his hand around her body.

"I have missed you so much too. While I was fighting for my life, all I could think about was you. I was afraid of leaving you behind all alone. Thinking about you gave me the strength I needed to fight to survive," Yang Zi said, wrapping her hands around his waist.

Last night when she saw death knocking right at her, she had so many regrets. She had regretted keeping so many secrets about herself from the man she loves dearly. She had also regretted not telling him just how much she loves him and wanted to stay by his side forever. Now that she has survived through that terrible accident, she will do everything to make sure she doesn't have any regrets.

"Same here, I couldn't imagine a life without you. When the car had toppled over and I stood outside the car unable to take a step forward, I had vowed to kill myself if something bad was to happen to you," Yifeng said as he let her rest her head on his shoulders.

"Feng, if ever something bad happens to me in the future, live on without me. Never have the slightest thought of committing suicide or mourning over me for a long time. You have to live well for me to be happy wherever I might be," Yang Zi said softly. Yifeng abruptly let her seat straight. He stares into her eyes with a gaze Yang Zi could not pinpoint the meaning.

"Zi Er, stop saying something bad. Nothing bad is going to happen to you. Don't even think of ever leaving me Ok," Yifeng said sternly.

"Nothing is certain...,"

"Zi Er, we haven't even started a family and yet you want to jinx it with your words? I will be so mad at you if you continue talking about death," Yifeng said seriously.

"Ok, hubby forgive Wifey for whatever she might have said. Nothing will have to either of us. We are going to get married and have cute little buns who will hover around us day and night," Yang Zi said when she realised Yifeng wasn't comfortable with what she said.

"Stop frowning, it doesn't suit you," Yang Zi said, pecking him on his lips to appease him.

"Promise not to talk about death ever again because I don't want to ever get separated from you," Yifeng said in a soft tone. He stares into her eyes in anticipation.

"I promise," Yang Zi said, smiling brightly at him. The two kept on talking and playing lovey-dovey inside the hospital room. Wen Min who was scared of being fed dog food stayed outside the hospital room until the doctor came to check up on Yang Zi.

For three days everyone takes turns in visiting Yang Zi in the hospital. Her colleagues took turns in coming to visit her too. Everyone including the doctors and nurses did everything to make sure her stay in the hospital was a pleasant one.

On the fourth day of her stay in the hospital, Yang Zi, who was eagerly waiting for Yifeng to come back from where he went to, turned to face the entrance when the door opened. Her expression instantly turned sour when she got a glimpse of the face of her guest.

What the heck is she doing here? Is she here to mock me for successfully making me bedridden?

Yang Zi thought, her gaze focused on the uninvited visitor who walks into the room with a broad smile on her face.

"Hello...," Zhao Liying who walks toward the bed in full glory remarked, waving at Yang Zi. That annoying smiles never leaves her face. At first glance, one could tell that she was smiling so charmingly to make Yang Zi upset.

"How have your four days stay in the hospital being? Horrible, right?" Zhao Liying asked, still maintaining her smiling face.

"It was fabulous. With the way everyone is at my beck and call, I feel like I am on a holiday on a lovely island. You can't imagine how awesome that feeling is right?" Yang Zi asked, returning the favour by smiling even more bewitchingly at her. Zhao Liying pretended as though she was unaffected by her smiles.

"How did you enjoy my surprise gift? It was epic, right?" Zhao Liying asked, pretending as though she did not hear Yang Zi's earlier mockery remark.

Did she just say putting me through that pain was epic?

Yang Zi thought angrily, but she did not make her anger visible on her face.

Just you wait until I return the favour. I bet mine will be more epic than yours.

Yang Zi thought, smiling just to show Zhao Liying that her words did not affect her.

"At first I was really furious when I got that so-called surprise gift of yours, but not anymore. Rather than for it to be a misfortune like you had wanted, it turns out to be a great blessing to me. Thanks to your gift, I got to spend an entire four days of no interruption with my man. He spoiled me a hundred per cent. Can you imagine he princess carried to wherever I want for the past four days?" Yang Zi said, smiling radiantly at her. Zhao Liying dug her long nails into her fingers when she heard Yang Zi's lovely tone as she narrated everything to him.
