Chapter 30 - Rules

"You are staying in my house so I think it is fair for me I set some rules or else your stay here will inconvenience me, don't you think am correct?" Yang Zi asked as she dropped the dirty plates back on the table. She sat down with both legs and arms crossed like a boss she says she is.

"Why do you need to set rules when you are only permitting me to spend only a day here or don't tell me you want me to stay longer here?" Yifeng asked naughtily. ​​

"Your eyes are not even close and yet you sound like you are in dreamland," Yang Zi said angrily, forgetting that the guy sitting down right there was her boss. "As I have said, you are the Boss when we are in the office but as long as you are in my house, I am the Boss but don't worry I won't be petty like you by asking you to address me as Boss," Yang Zi said acting as though she was benevolent. Yifeng just watched her speak without uttering a word. Rules? He wasn't the type to abide by the rules, so her words did not affect him at all.

"Rule number one: I prohibit you from asking me questions which are personal," Yang Zi said firmly.

"Are you serious? If you said I should not ask you personal questions, then you are simply prohibiting me from speaking to you at all, which is not fair," Yifeng interjected, displeased.

"What were you expecting? Of course, the principal reason I set this rule is because I don't want you to talk to me. Besides, we are not on suitable terms to chat like friends," Yang Zi fired back sharply. It was as if she was taking out all her three months piled up anger on her boss.

"Ok, no objections, but you are free to speak to me or ask me questions because I don't mind," Yifeng said in disappointment.

"Ok, I won't hold back from asking you question if there is anything I am curious about but I am not sure that there is anything about you that will arouse my interest," Yang Zi said confidently.

"Rule number two: this one is the most important so listen carefully. You must lock the door, be it the bathroom or the restroom door, you must lock it whenever you are using it or else I will forget that you are a patient. You won't like what I will do to you if you let me meet you in that state I did earlier, Ok?" Yang Zi asked sternly as she glares at him murderously. She went ahead when Yifeng did not object.

"Rule number three: under no condition must you go upstairs. I will use upstairs so I won't unnecessarily run into you and if you there is anything you need just press that alarm button on the table then I will quickly come downstairs if I am not busy," Yang Zi said. The way she talked shows that she didn't mean the part where she said she will quickly come downstairs if he needed anything.

"Are you sure you will come downstairs if I press the alarm button over there?" Yifeng asked doubtfully. Yang Zi acted as if she did not hear and continue from where she had stopped.

"If you break any of the rules, then consider it even when I break your office rules too when my suspension is over. You don't have any objections, right?" Yang Zi asked as though she had left him with any options.

"Fine, I will try as much as possible to abide with the rules but I am not promising you anything alright but before deserting me check up on my health first," Yifeng said. He knew exactly what he was doing. He wasn't the type of person to stick to some silly rules, but he could not bring himself to tell her that or she might throw him out without thinking twice about it. He was sure that those who shot him were searching all over for him. He did not want to put her in danger since she was innocent.

"You look perfectly fine to me since you have the energy to babble. You don't look like someone that will die soon, so don't worry about your woun. Be careful with the wound or else I can't say what will happen to it if peradventure it gets infected, and there are some movies over there. Watch them if you feel bored," Yang Zi added before she packed the plates into the kitchen. Yifeng guessed she might have washed the dirty dishes since she did not come out of the kitchen immediately.

Later Yang Zi left the kitchen and went to her room upstairs. While she was in her bedroom, Yang Zi took out her sketchbook and started drawing all the designs that came to her mind. If people knew that it was this pretty and sweet-looking lady they had been searching for the past three years they would not have believed it.

In the middle of sketching her third design, the alarm rang. She was furious and the expression on her pretty faces shows it. She instantly decided to ignore the alarm. She moved on with her drawing. Within the range of two minutes, the alarm rang again. Yang Zi hits the bed in annoyance before she went outside to answer his call.

"What do you need?" Yang Zi questioned, trying to sound polite. Yifeng was not stupid. From her expression, he knew that she was not pleased with him at all.
