Chapter 440 - The Children's Second Plan In Motion

Yang Zi hurriedly cleaned her tears when she heard Wang Yibo's voice.

"That jerk keeps hurting you. I keep regretting rejecting your marriage proposal. That would have been my greatest opportunity to get back at him for always making you shed tears, I can't believe I missed such an awesome opportunity," Wang Yibo said, as he sat down beside her.

"Have this. You will feel much better after drinking something cold," Wang Yibo handed her the glass of orange juice.

"Thank you," Yang Zi who finally managed to stop her tears said as she collected the glass of juice from him.

"After Mi Er finishes changing, we are gonna set off so, please try to stabilise your emotions. This is that annoying girls big day, we can't afford to get late and crying is prohibited too," Wang Yibo said as he cleaned her tears with his hand. Despite that she had cried, her waterproof make-up was still intact.

"You are right about that," Yang Zi said before she gulped down the entire glass of juice.

"I feel very refreshed," Yang Zi said as she forced on a smile. The two of them eagerly waited for Yang Mi to come downstairs.

After about ten more minutes, Yang Mi came downstairs wearing a blue short gown and white shoes. Yang Zi and Wang Yibo complimented her and afterwards, they set off.

The venue of the engagement was in an open field which was surrounded by different varieties of flowers. The fragrance emitted from the flowers was epic. Apart from adding a lot of beauty to the event centre, the fragrance of the flowers gave a soothing effect. 

When Yang Zi and her partners arrived, all her friends were there. Even Qing Shui who said she would not come was present. Yang Zi could not help but chuckle when she saw the expression on their faces while staring at her. Their expression showed that they were unhappy but none of them said it.

Yang Zi, first of all, chatted with her friends before she went around to greet familiar faces and important business associates. She was in the middle of greeting someone when she sighted Chen approaching her direction.

"Excuse me," Yang Zi said before she abandoned the man she was previously talking with.

Li Chen paused when she reached where Yang Zi stood. The first two things Yang Zi noticed about Li Chen was his panting and the sweat building up on his forehead. These signs showed that he must have run.

"Chen, what is wrong? Why do you look this way?" Yang Zi asked when she saw that Li Chen was having trouble talking because of his heavy breathing.

"Let's talk over there and try as much as possible to calm down," Yang Zi said, as she dragged him by the hand close to the flower side on their right-hand side.

"Sister Zi Er, Big bro...," Li Chen trailed as tears whelmed up in his eyes.

"What is it? What is wrong with Feng, I hope he did not try anything stupid?" Yang Zi asked. She was not able to hide her fear.

"Sister Zi Er, I just learned a few minutes ago that Big bro is travelling on a business trip to Japan," Li Chen broke the news.

"Is this why you are getting so anxious?" Yang Zi asked feeling very relieved that everything was fine.

"He will be back in a few days so you did not need to look very scared...,"

"That is also what I thought until Mr Yuan told me that Big bro has no intention of coming back. He said Big bro has already made preparations to stay there permanently. He will never come back to Queen's City," Li Chen said in a sad tone.

"What!" Yang Zi remarked in shock.

"I have tried calling him but he did not answer my calls despite how many times his phone rang. This shows that he has already made up his mind," Li Chen said.

"Grandpa has not fully recovered from his surgery and now Big bro is leaving us forever, I am scared that Grandpa will suffer from a heart attack if he learns about this. Sister Zi Er, how about you help me?" Li Chen said as he grabbed her hands.

"How do you want me to help you? I am lost...," 

"Sister Zi Er, Big bro always listens to whatever you say. I am sure that he will decide to stay if you tell him that you don't want him to leave and that you still love him so, how about you help me? Please....," Li Chen pleaded with tears in his eyes.

"I have no one else but my Big bro to rely on. Grandpa will die if Big bro dares travel out so, please save my family. Only you can do this. So, please help me out just this once. I am begging you," Li Chen said as he refused to let go of Yang Zi's hands.

"His flight is taking off exactly at 2:00 pm and it is in a few minutes from now. I need to go tell Mi Er about this or she will resent me forever," Li Chen said, as he finally let go of Yang Zi's hands.

"Sister Zi Er, you need to hurry up and do something. Don't forget we have little time to stop him," Li Chen said before he disappeared into the crowd.

"Feng is leaving?" Yang Zi asked no one in particular. Yang Zi was too preoccupied with her pain to notice that someone was eavesdropping on their conversation since the time Li Chen was there.

"Was that the reason he asked Mi Er to return the wristwatch to me?" Yang Zi thought aloud as she stared into space. She felt the urge to cry but when she recalled where she was, she held back her tears.

"Feng would not just leave like that, would he? Maybe Chen was lying to me. Shu is very close with Yuan Quan so if such a thing is happening, I am sure she must be aware of it," Yang Zi said as she nodded her head. This was not the first time Li Chen had deceived her. This might be another prank so she needed to confirm this before she came up with a solution.
