" Xiao Bai, maybe it might have seemed to you as though you were a nuisance to me but I have never for once thought of you as a nuisance. I loved every moment I spent with you. From the moment I met you, I knew that there was something different about you, so I have always watched you closely. And I was always happy whenever you confessed your feelings to me because you were the only lady who has ever loved me so sincerely in my whole life. Hey! Although I am popularly known as a play-boy but you of all people know just how much efforts I had put into keeping my distance away from you in terms of s.e.x.u.a.l matters because I didn't want you to be like every other girl I have slept with. And despite the fact that I didn't love you at the beginning but my heart slowly began to beat for you without my realization. I'm sorry it took me this long to realize my feelings for you and I'm so sorry for hurting your feelings, it was never my intention, I cross my heart", Yun Yi said trying to hold her hands but Xiao Bai avoided his touch.
" Sorry? There is no need for you to say sorry because it won't change how much you've hurt me. I know I am a very persistent person but I definitely know when to withdraw and that is what I did back then when you made me feel stupid for loving you", Xiao Bai said turning her gaze away from him.
" Xiao Bai, I'm very sorry. I hope you will give me another chance to show you how much I love you. I have realized my mistakes now and I'm ready to make it up to you. And hey! I have totally changed my old behavior and habits because I wanted to make myself worthy of accepting your love and I have finally achieved that so please don't give up on me, Xiao Bai", Yun Yi apologized sincerely.
" Really? It's so great to know that you have changed and I'm happy for you but as you know, there is nothing I can do for you right now since I already have another man in my life right now", Xiao Bai said coldly.
" Xiao Bai don't reject me like this. It's so painful to know that someone else has replaced me in your life but please just give me a fair chance to show you how much I truly love and cherish you and I'm ready to do anything to win back your love as long as you give me the chance to do so", Yun Yi said helplessly. Everybody watched their conversation with keen interest, they wanted to know what the outcome of their conversation will be. Tan Fan said a silent prayer for his friend. He prayed that Xiao Bai should give his buddy another chance because he knew just how helpless his best buddy has been ever since Xiao Bai refused to get together with him.
" Yun Yi, stop making me look like a bad person Ok? I can't give you what you want right now because it is all up to you to make me change my mind and I doubt whether you will be able to achieve that", Xiao Bai said finally yielding to Yun Yi's demand.
" Thank you so much Xiao Bai, that is the only word I wanted to hear from you. And don't worry about whether I will be able to make you change your mind or not because I'm a hundred percent certain that I will make you love me once again", Yun Yi said subconsciously giving her a warm hug due to over excitement.
" I love your positive vibes but let me just give you a little advice. Although it was easy for me to fall in love with you but it will be very hard for you to me make fall in love with you again, I can assure you that Yun Yi but I'm cheering you on, as much as I want my wish to come true I also want your wish to come true too but can you let go of me, I don't remember giving you the permission to hug me", Xiao Bai said tapping his shoulder gently.
" Thanks for your advice, I have anticipated that much when I asked you for a second chance. And as I have already said, I am a hundred percent sure that I will win your love back because I know you like the back of my hands and I will make sure my wish comes true", Yun Yi said smiling brightly while pulling himself out of her embrace.
" Wow Yun Yi, are you guys now a couple? When are you guys gonna get married?", Tan Fan asked excitedly after he saw that they have finally cleared up their misunderstanding.
" Of course not", Xiao Bai fired back immediately while frowning her face in a displeased manner.
" Then what are guys if you are not a couple?", Tan Fan asked curiously.
" It means that I am courting her", Yun Yi replied.
" What is the difference between courting her and you guys being a couple? Isn't it the same thing?", Tan Fan asked again giving them a weird look.
" Silly you, being a couple means that she is already my woman while courting her means that I want her to be my woman. How could you not know the difference between what courting and being a couple means when you have always called yourself the number one player in town", Yun Yi said.
" What does being the number one player has to do with our topic of discussion? Anyways let's get over with this but Yun Yi won't you thank sister-in-law for paving the way for you and Xiao Bai to make up? She really helped you big time today so you hold her a sincere thank you", Tan Fan said nudging Yun Yi with his elbow.
" How could I ever forget that, thank you so much sister-in-law, you are the best. I would have love to give you a hug to show my appreciation but my jealous Third bro might not only cut off my limbs but also my hands if I dare give you a hug once again", Yun Yi said giving her a thumps up.
" Young Master Yi is just protecting his own woman and while we are at it, Young Master Yi, is it alright for me to call you Yi Lan instead of the usual Young Master Yi. That is, if it is Ok with you", Xiao Bai said staring at Yi Lan anticipatingly.
" That is Ok with me, we are not strangers after all", Yi Lan said concisely.
" Hey guys, it's time for dinner. You know we can't afford to eat our dinner late since sister-in-law has to take her drugs, so what do you guys want to have for dinner?", Tan Fan asked inquiringly, he stared at everyone's face inquiringly for answers.
" Don't worry I have already made preparations for that, our order should be arriving now", Yun Yi said and just then, about three delivery guys entered the hospital room with boxes and lunch boxes in their hands. Yun Yi immediately stood up and supervised them on how they should arrange the dishes on the table. Xiao Bai opened her mouth in agape when all the dishes were displayed on the table. Even Tan Fan was taken aback by Yun Yi's elaborate dinner arrangements.
" Wow! What a feast, when did you prepare all this?", Xiao Bai asked in shock.
" I made the preparations before I left my office earlier, do you like it?", Yun Yi asked.
" Of course, I love it. All the dishes looks so tasty and yummy. Wow! There are desserts too", Xiao Bai said her eyes shining brightly.
" It's nice to know that you love it", Yun Yi said smiling.
" Yun Yi the name of the restaurant on the delivery guys clothes says T. M delivery, is it the same T. M restaurant owned by President Zou?", Lie Ruge asked trying to stand up from the bed but Yi Lan quickly ran to help her out although Xiao Bai wanted to assist her.
" It's alright Xiao Bai, I will take it from here", Yi Lan said assisting her up from the bed.
" Sister-in-law, how come you know Zuo Zhen? It does not look as if you only saw him on the papers but it looks as if you have met him before. Did you and Third bro went to his restaurant before?", Tan Fan asked.
" Yes, he is such a funny guy. He has a sense of humour like you guys and I even promised him to I will bring you guys over to his restaurant but as you know I couldn't keep my promise", Lie Ruge said as Yi Lan assists her to sit down on the couch, he even put a pillow at her back to make her feel comfortable.
" Yeah, he made mentioned of you when I called him today. He even wanted to know when you and Third bro are going to announce the news of your wedding to everyone. He said I should remind you not to forget to visit his restaurant some other time but don't worry I didn't tell him that you were in the hospital", Yun Yi relayed the message excitedly while passing the cutleries to Xiao Bai.
" Who is this Zuo Zhen?", Xiao Bai asked curiously.
" No one special, just avoid him if you come in contact with him", Yun Yi said suddenly in order to cut off Yun Yi's curiosity.
" Why should I avoid him? Is he a dangerous person and even though he is, I know how to handle all kinds of dangerous men", Xiao Bai said confidently.
"Of course Zuo Zhen is not dangerous, Yun Yi is just kidding. You will get to like him if ever you get to meet him", Tan Fan said.
" Come on guys, it's time to eat, I'm starving", Lie Ruge said touching her tummy.
