Chapter 20 - I Didn't Know That You Knew How To Flirt

As she entered the huge BEST Enterprises building, Yang Zi was really relieved that no one except Yuan Quan was around last night when that incident happened or else she would have become the subject of her fellow colleagues' cheap gossip by now. She waved at the familiar faces while entering the elevator to the fifth floor where her office is.

"Good morning, Miss Yang. I hope you are Ok?" Yuan Quan asked immediately as he saw her. ​​

"Of course. I am perfectly alright. In fact I feel amazing and what about you, Yuan Quan? I hope you had a great night?" Yang Zi asked as she took her seat.

"That is nice to hear and yeah I had a wonderful night. I am so glad to hear that you are Ok," Yuan Quan asked as he stared at her. He was surprised to see how calm and relaxed she was after the ugly incident that occurred the precious night. Knowing her temper, he knew Yang Zi would not have allowed the incident to slide without taking revenge so he was surprised to see her act so indifferent.

"Do I have something on my face?" Yang Zi, who had noticed him staring at her oddly, asked as she turned around to face him.

"No you don't. I just feel like you look prettier than usual," Yuan Quan lied without batting an eye.

"That is a nice pickup line Yuan Quan. I thought you were the shy type when it came to talking to your crush. I didn't know that you knew how to flirt," Li Yifeng, who had just arrived, said while walking into his office. Yang Zi who has heard this word repeatedly from her boss could not help but feel uneasy about it so she made up her mind right there to confirm from Yuan Quan whether her boss words were true.

"Yuan Quan, boss has been repeating these lines way too often. So I just want to know, is it true that you have a crush on me?" Yang Zi asked boldly. Yuan Quan coughed lightly before he decided his reply to her.

"Miss Yang, you don't have to take boss' words to heart. He was just teasing me," Yuan Quan said, not directly denying or admitting that he had a crush on her. Yang Zi did not probe further after she heard Yuan Quan's reply. She was certain that their relationship would have become awkward had Yuan Quan admitted that he had a crush on her.

.....

Yang Zi was quite relieved when her boss did not unnecessarily pick on her for the entire day but there was still something else that annoyed her. While at the office, the Zhou siblings rang Yang Zi's line more than a hundred times, especially Jingxian. She also received about thirty text messages from the both of them. Yang Zi almost lost her mind when her phone started to ring every two minutes. It was as if the Zhou siblings were all out to make life hellish for her that day. She finally felt at peace when she switched off her cell phone because she could no longer stand being disturbed.

No matter the numerous apology messages Jingxian sent, Yang Zi's heart remained unmoved. She told herself that she was not through dealing with the both of them.

For three days, Yang Zi made sure she did not run into the both of them either coincidentally or intentionally.

On the fourth day after getting off work, walking to where her car was parked, Jingxian came out from nowhere and obstructed her path.

"What do you want from me Miss Zhou?" Yang Zi asked coldly, suddenly changing the way she normally addressed Jingxian.

"Hey Zi Er, please don't treat me like this," Jingxian said pitifully, holding onto Yang Zi's right hand in fear that she might just slip away.

"Why are you even angry with me when it is my brother who offended you? I have threatened him to never come close to me unless he apologized to you so please don't punish me for his sins Ok?" Jingxian spoke yet again when Yang Zi's icy expression remained unchanged. She caressed Yang Zi's hands in a caring manner to show her how sincere she was.

"Do you know that your brother almost raped me? How can I just get over that terrible trauma overnight? I have not offended him in any way so why did he do that to me when I am as innocent as you?" Yang Zi said expressionlessly making the already guilty Jingxian feel even more guilty.

"Zi Er.....," Jingxian's sentence was abruptly cut short by the angry Yang Zi.

"You can't blame me for getting mad at you for the terrible thing your brother did to me and please stay away from me starting now because I don't want to be the cause of breaking your sibling bond Ok?" Yang Zi said emotionlessly as she pulled her hands forcefully out of Jingxian's grip.

"I will make him personally apologize so don't push me away hmm? You have been such a good friend since I got to know you. You taught me how to appreciate myself for who I am and most importantly you taught me how to fight. I like the current me right now so don't take this away from me Ok? I promise I will make sure he apologises," Jingxian said as she quickly grabbed hold of Yang Zi's right hand again.

Anyone who knew the previous Jingxain would know that the Jingxian before Yang Zi's intrusion would not have stopped so low to apologize to anyone. She always thought that she was higher than everyone in terms of wealth, power and influence. Her previous self before she met Yang Zi was rude and very uncaring, too bad she was the enemy of Yang Zi's sister or else Yang Zi would have really spoiled her rotten.

"I will think about whether to continue being your friend or not after he has apologized," Yang Zi said coldly before she walked away without glaring back. She entered her car and zoomed off immediately.

"Brother Yixian, just look at the mess you have put me in because of your womanizing habits. I have warned you not to try anything stupid with her because I know that Yang Zi was not the lenient type but you just won't listen," Jingxian said angrily to no one in particular before she angrily walked to towards her driver.

"Take me to wherever brother Yixian is right now," she ordered angrily. The driver immediately did as he was ordered.
