"Also, I was indeed going on a business trip to Japan but it was supposed to be for three days. I never intended on staying there for a week, not to mention staying there forever. My little brother and ageing Grandpa is here, no matter how hurt I am, I would never abandon them," Yifeng said seriously.
"And you talked about my cell phone ringing. My cell phone was with Yuan Quan throughout our journey to the airport. I did not know that you called because the phone never rang," Yifeng clarify everything.
"If you never did all these things then, why did the kids... Except...,"
"They planned everything. It's so obvious that they set up everything to make us get back together. They fooled you including me and everyone else," Yifeng said smiling.
"I don't even have the heart to scold them for this because they did us a big favour. I wouldn't have got the confidence to confess how I feel for you if they did not do this. I should be grateful to them for opening my eyes to see what I failed to see," Yang Zi said as she hugged his hand.
"Yeah, they really tried. The three of them should win the best directors and actors of the year. They are so good, I must admit," Yifeng said as he patted her hair.
"Zi Er, I am sorry for misunderstanding your relationship with Wang Yibo. I never knew he was very ill. Nobody told me about...,"
"It's ok. It's all in the past now and it was never your fault. It was my fault for making you and everyone misunderstand me," Yang Zi said in a meek tone.
"Let's go join the others. I am sure they must be eagerly waiting for us," Yifeng said before he ignited the car.
Yang Zi was so relieved she did not forget her handbag in her car at the airport. Without it, she wouldn't have been able to touch up her makeup.
When they reached the party, the music had just stopped. Those who danced began leaving their partners.
"Zi Er!" Qing Shui, the first person to see them called out in delight as she hurried to meet them. The excitement completely made her forget that so many people including reporters were heavily present there.
"Happy engagement," Yifeng said when Qing Shui reached where they stood. The others immediately joined them.
"Congratulations on your engagement, Xiaofei," Yifeng said, with a smile when Xiaofei and the others caught up with them.
"I should be saying that to the two of you too. Congrats guys on finally getting engaged," Qing Shui said, with a broad smile on her face.
"You guys know about it?" Yang Zi asked as her eyes darted from one person to the other. Her smile broadened when her eyes landed on Su Jin standing close to Mo Yu.
He finally came. I guess Mo Yu must have revealed everything to him that is why he came.
Yang Zi thought, her gaze focused on Jin.
"Of course, we know. In fact, everyone in the country knows that designer M and the Chairwoman of the famous Yang's World got engaged less than an hour ago," Shiyi said. Recalling the video of Yang Zi crying crazily in the airport, his smile became broader.
"Yes Zi Er, the video of you crying so madly in the airport is the trending news on the internet followed by Shui Shui's engagement," Wen Min supported.
"Everyone was moved by your tears and heartfelt words. I was also moved to tears when Yifeng did not show up despite your sobbing," Mo Yu said.
"I had promised myself earlier to book a flight to Japan tomorrow if you had left despite all her weeping. I would have beaten you to a pulp," Wang Yibo who reached them that moment said.
"YiYi...,"
"Yifeng, I have something for you," Wang Yibo completely ignored Yang Zi and walked towards where Yifeng stood.
Everyone was curious to see what exactly Wang Yibo wanted to give Yifeng. They all knew that Yifeng and Wang Yibo were not friends, that is why they were more anxious to see what he was up to.
"And this is what I have for you," Wang Yibo said as he raised his hand and punched Yifeng hard on his right cheek.
"Hey, why did you punch him like that?" Wen Min asked displeasingly.
"Annoying guy, I know you dislike him but why did you hit Zi Er's man and especially in my event?" Qing Shui asked as she stared at the guy who was massaging the hands he used in punching Yifeng.
"That punch is for all the tears Cutie Pie shedded all these years because of you. We are even now," Wang Yibo said as he stretched his hand for a handshake. Yifeng who was still massaging his aching cheek stared at his extended hand.
"Yeah, we are even now," Yifeng said as he shook Wang Yibo's hands.
"He is such a weirdo," Mo Yu remarked when she saw Yibo smiling at Yifeng he punched some minutes ago.
"You are right about that. He is the weirdest guy I have ever seen," Jin muttered, his gaze focused on Wang Yibo. They all went and sat at a table and afterwards continued with their conversation. Since everyone was curious to know what actually led to them being engaged, Yang Zi had to go ahead and narrate everything all over again.
In the end, everyone could not resist laughing when they learned that the kids tricked the two adults.
"I can't believe the kids did what we couldn't do...,"
"No, that is wrong, Jin. The kids did what we the adults did not even think of. They should be heavily rewarded for bringing these two stubborn people together," Shiyi said with smiles on his face.
Yang Mi, Li Chen and Feying who were still at the party came to bade the adults farewell before they returned home. It was after they left that Zhao Liying who stumbled upon the news of Yang Zi's and Yifeng's engagement began to make a scene in the party.
Yang Zi was talking to a business associate when someone from behind grabbed her hair and began dragging her roughly.
"I thought you were getting engaged to some other man so, how dare you get engaged to my man in secret? How dare you ruin my life just one more time?" Zhao Liying said with tears in her eyes.
