"Feng always tells Jin everything so I am sure he must have confided in Jin about his reason for acting this way so let me call Jin. I am certain he will tell me what is going on," Yang Zi who just saw a glimmer of hope said, as she grabbed her handbag from the bed and took out her cellphone. She called Jin's line afterwards.

"Jin, how are you? How has your business trip been going? I hope you are having a lot of fun over there?" Yang Zi asked the moment Jin answered the call.

​​

"Without you around....," Jin paused when he realised what he had said.

"I mean without you guys around, life here is boring. There is no one to hang out here with. After series of meetings each day, I just spend time in my hotel room," Jin relayed sadly.

"You mean, you don't go outside to have fun after the meetings? That is so unlike my Jin, " Yang Zi said in surprise.

"Since you don't go out I am sure you must have some ladies accompanying you right, that is why you find every other thing out there boring," Yang Zi said just to tease him.

"Zi Er, stop teasing me. I am not as lucky as Feng to find a perfect woman and wife just like you. But if you could choose a beautiful lady for me, I won't reject," Jin said playfully. What Yang Zi did not know was that behind those playful words Jin meant what he said.

"You want me to arrange a lady for you? Didn't you always hate arranged marriage?" Yang Zi asked curiously. For a moment, she forgot about her problems.

"I still hate arranged marriage but if you are the one to choose for me, I will gladly accept it," Jin said in a serious tone.

"Ok, since you said you don't mind then I will arrange a very beautiful lady for you. I am certain that you will love her," Yang Zi said delightfully.

How could I like her when she is not you?

Jin laying on his bed thought as he changed his positions.

"Jin, are you ok? Why aren't you saying anything?" Yang Zi asked, her smile disappearing.

"I am just so happy that is why I am speechless. I can't wait to meet her," Jin said excitedly.

"That is settled then," Yang Zi said. Just then she recalled why she called him.

"Jin, can I ask you something?" Yang Zi asked in a serious tone.

"You know you don't need to ask permission before you speak so ask away," Jin said, ready to assist her in any way he could.

"Jin, has Feng told you anything about me?" Yang Zi asked anxiously, even though her voice carried a hint of anxiety.

"Apart from bragging about getting engaged to you, he has not said any other thing," Jin said carefreely.

"You mean he didn't tell you why he is ignoring me. ...,"

"Feng is ignoring you? How is that possible? He would never do that to you. He loves you way too much to see you sad," Jin said, not believing that Yifeng was capable of ignoring the woman he loves so deeply. Each time he called him, he never stopped talking about how he loves her and wanted to get married to her quickly.

How could such a man bear to ignore the same lady he is dying to marry?

"But that is what he is doing now. He doesn't talk to me or let me get close to him. I asked you because I thought he had told you the reason for his sudden change of attitude towards me.

"Zi Er, there is no need to get sad about this. I am certain Feng is just pulling a prank on you but just to put your mind at ease, I am going to ask him what is wrong. I will tell you whatever reply I get from him tomorrow," Jin said just to put her mind at ease.

"Thanks, Jin, I know I could always count on you," Yang Zi brightened up a bit.

"I am sure it is pretty late there so go to bed, ok," Jin coaxed.

"Ok, but remember not to always stay inside your room. Take out time to go on sightseeing...,"

"Ok Madam, I will listen to you,"Jin said as he waited for Yang Zi to disconnect the call.

After Yang Zi disconnected the call she changed her clothes and freshened up. She patiently waited for Yifeng as always but he did not come into the room until she woke up.

The next day Yang Zi woke up to meet a cold bed. She wasn't surprised when Feng Shu told her that Yifeng had left for the office without her.

Even when she reached the office expecting to meet him there, she was disappointed to hear from Yuan Quan that Yifeng left immediately after he reached the office. Although she was very sad and disappointed, she went about her work like she normally did.

"Miss Yang, you keep staring at your wristwatch, do you have any prior appointment?" Yuan Quan asked when he saw Yang Zi repeatedly check her wristwatch.

"Yes, I have a dinner date with my mum. I don't want to make her wait for me for even a second, that is why I keep on checking my wristwatch," Yang Zi said smiling brightly.

"Wow, that is great. I am sure Auntie must be very happy that you spare her a bit of your time," Yuan Quan said, smiling along with her.

"In the past mum and I always went out on a date at least twice a month but after working in the company, I hardly have time to hang out with her. I have been very unfilial for the past one year that is why I want to make it up to her tonight," Yang Zi said, maintaining her smiling face.

"Miss Yang, making out time to bond with your mother shows that you care about her happiness. This shows how good of a daughter you are. You are such an ideal daughter," Yuan Quan complimented.

"I am not really as good as you think but thanks for the compliment," Yang Zi said smiling at him.
