Chapter 26 - Flashback (Part 2)

Yu Yan was furious. This fox had come all the way here, but dared to act innocent? "How dare you act like nothing? Is this a place were sl*t's like you could roam freely? Scram!" By now, she had become used to seeing beautiful women around Li Yi Feng. She had chased away plenty of those women. She had tried to gently approach the matter several times, but those were just ignored. Even if she hated to act like this, Yun Feng had been right. Only when she did things the hard way would the women be scared away.

The other women looked at Yu Yan in shock. "What in the...," before she could even finish speaking, Yu Yan lunged at her. Grabbing her hair with both hands, she started cursing at the woman. Hearing the commotion, several employees came into the room. They tried persuading her to let go, but nothing worked. As the woman cried out in pain they were able to separate the two women after a while.

Before Yu Yan could do more harm, Li Yi Feng arrived. Enraged he roared at her. "Yu. Yan! Have you gone mad! How many times have I told you not to step foot into my company." Looking at the security guards that followed him in, he ordered. "Throw her out, I don't want to see her here again. Fire whoever let her in."

Yu Yan refused to leave and was dragged out. As she was being pulled out the discussion between the woman and Li Yi Feng did not escape her.

The woman: "CEO Li! Is this how your company treats its business-partners?"

Li Yi Feng: "CEO Pei, I am deeply sorry. I cannot...."

Yu Yan let out a sigh. She had been so horrible. What was worse was that none of those women had any illicit relationship with Li Yi Feng. She had harassed so many women out of jealousy. Before Ke Ming, Li Yi Feng had a female secretary. Yu Yan had treated her so badly, that the women ended up quitting on her own. She realised too late that she had been played.

Li Yi Feng did not know why he left with Yu Yan. Over the years her behaviour had become worse, but somehow it seemed she had changed. It was like she reverted back to the child he had once known.

- Flashback -

"Big brother Yi Feng, look I got some pretty flowers for you!" A four-year-old girl came running up to him with wildflowers in her hand. She was the little granddaughter of his grandfather's friend. No matter how much he ignored her, she persistently stuck to him. She was wild and full of energy, unable to sit still even for a moment.

He did not know why his parents wanted him to "play" with her. He was already eight and quite mȧturė for his age. There was really nothing they could do together. At first, he had been annoyed. With her around, the tranquillity around him disappeared. He was unable to read the books he enjoyed so much. However, after some time, he had gotten used to her. Now without her, it just seemed to be too quiet. He held his book in his hand, looking at her and not accepting the flowers she was holding.

Realising that her big brother would not take them, she put them down and ran off to find something else to do. As he watched her, she stumbled and fell. Li Yi Feng worriedly looked at her. Like always she stood up, smiling and continued to play on her own.

After an hour or so, she came back to him smiling. She was covered in dirt. Exactly what was she doing? He did not remember doing things like this when he was four. Such a strange girl, but she was somewhat cute.

The girl he had known changed. She became vicious and jealous. He did not know what happened to the innocent and naive girl that had grown up beside him. The more he saw of her the more annoying she became. She always made him irritated. And this irritation soon turned into disgust. He realised she was no longer the girl in his memory.

Even with all these changes, his grandfather was adamant on letting her marry him. He opposed it to no avail. Would she always be this distrusting and jealous? Would she continue to irritate him and make him more disgusted with her? Many thoughts like these had been on his mind at that time. At some point, he even believed it would stop her jealousy if they got married. There had not been any love, but compared to others she had been acceptable. But he had been wrong, her jealous and distrusting heart had just gotten worse. He regretted it. He felt tired every day. Rather than dealing with her, he preferred to stay at the company and work all night. Soon he found a new place to stay just to get away from her.

But she had changed again. No longer vicious, unreasonable and jealous. Then why was he still irritated by her? Had she not given him exactly what he had wanted?

Divorce...

Yes, he could finally be rid off her. But the thought left him annoyed and displeased. He would no longer be bound to her and she would be free to do whatever she wanted. She could start anew with another man... Anger rose up in him. He was unwilling!

The two people that were caught up in their own thoughts soon arrived at Yu Yan's apartment. The car stopped and Yu Yan got off the car. To her surprise, Li Yi Feng followed her. What had gotten into him? Believing that he would leave once she made it to the door, she walked as fast as she could. Arriving at her door, he was still there. Standing just a few steps behind her, he was patiently waiting without saying anything. Yu Yan felt pressured. Quickly tapping the password, she opened the door.

She had changed it! The password to the apartment was new.

Li Yi Feng stared at her. The woman was already eager to leave him. She was distancing herself from him. He felt irritated again. As she walked in, he followed her in. He did not know why he was so pushy. Pushing himself inside the house of a woman living alone. Somehow he did not want to see her close the door and leave him out.

What was happening? What was this man up to? Yu Yan did not know why he had followed her into her home. Did he have something important to tell her? Glancing at him, she walked up into the living room. He followed suit, walking in as if it was his own home. He made it to the sofa and comfortably sat down. Yu Yan stiffly watched him and after a moment of hesitations she sat down. Looking at him, she silently waited for him to speak.
