Chapter 47 - Yifeng Relay His Plight To His Best Friend

Yang Zi, who was fast asleep, suddenly rested her head on Yifeng's shoulders. She would have sustained a very huge injury on her face if Yifeng was not sitting down right beside her. Yifeng's body instantly stiffened. His heart beat rapidly, Yifeng could not help but conclude that he might have some heart problem when his heart beat increased rapidly as if it would jump out of his chest. Yifeng sat down like that with her head resting on his shoulders for two hours. What he did not know was that he was the reason the light sleeper, Yang Zi, was sleeping so peacefully.

Yang Zi, who suddenly started touching Yifeng all over in her sleepy state, woke up to the shock of her life when she saw her hands romancing Yifeng's chest. The sleep in her eyes instantly flew away from her as she immediately stood up on her feet. ​​

"I am sorry Boss for my impolite acts, I never knew that it was you,"Yang Zi apologised bowing slightly.

"Are you saying that it would have been perfectly alright if you had done what you did earlier to some random guy?" Yifeng asked, trying very hard to sound unaffected by what just transpired between them. He was a man of self-control, but for the second time he couldn't think straight after the intimate act that just occurred between them.

"I never said such a thing, Boss. I was just surprised when I saw you sitting down beside me but Boss why were you sitting down beside me because if I remember correctly, you were not here when I sat down here." Yang Zi asked politely. Yifeng guessed she must have felt guilty about what she did. That is why she treated him like nicely.

"Shouldn't you be thanking me for saving your face from sustaining injuries instead of questioning me? And how come you easily fell asleep in such an open space like this? Didn't you have enough sleep last night?" Yifeng asked out of concern.

"Boss, why are you suddenly acting strange? Stop treating me like this if you won't take responsibility for the result of your action, it will only worsen our work relationship," Yang Zi asserted seriously before she walked away. But Yifeng grabbed her wrist. Yang Zi who spoke her genuine feelings regretted ever saying what she just uttered some moment. She silently prayed that Yifeng won't understand the hidden meaning behind those words.

"What are you implying? What do you say I should take responsibility for? I don't get you," Yifeng insisted as he stared into her eyes.

"I mean, stop trying to seduce me by acting so kind and concerned because it will never work on me," Yang Zi quickly twisted the words around. She was so relieved that Yifeng did not understand what she meant. She tried to get away like she normally did, but she couldn't break free from his firm grip.

"But I wasn't trying to seduce you, I was just concerned about your health. This is the least I can do for saving my life since I am sure that you won't take money as compensation and are you still mad at me for what happened at your home a month ago?" Yifeng asked, still holding onto her wrist.

"You are right, I didn't save your life for money so you can keep your money to yourself or donate it to an orphanage and lastly, you can call what I did to you earlier even with what you did to me back then. We are even now, we don't owe each other any apology, so will you please let go of my hand now? I am sure Yuan Quan must be worried sick since he didn't see me for hours," Yang Zi replied, still struggling to free her hand.

"Are you saying that you are no longer mad at me?" Yifeng questioned seriously. He wished she will just let go of her anger and start treating him without her usual hostility.

"Why do you care whether I am still mad at you? When have I not been mad at you since I started working for you? Why do you care so much if I am still pissed off with you or not? What makes this issue different from others? You can just act nonchalantly like you normally did," Yang Zi uttered coldly. Yifeng did not probe further. He instantly released her hand. Yang Zi walked away without looking back to see how hurt Yifeng was by her piercing words. Yifeng left too after he sorted out his fluctuating feelings.

....

"Jin, has any lady ever treated you like some sort of eyesore, always getting mad at you whenever you speak? Treating you like you don't mean a thing to her? Saying harsh words to you when she doesn't even mean a word she says?" Yifeng quizzed his best friend dejectedly.

"Sorry bro, but I haven't experienced such a harsh treatment from any lady before," Su Jin answered nonchalantly. "Feng, come on, tell me what is the name of this mysterious lady you have always been telling me about that has been giving you a headache for the past four months? Is she an employee from our company or someone we both know?" Su Jin asked mischievously. He could not hold himself back from smiling, seeing his almighty best acting out of character because of a girl. He was curious to know the identity of this mysterious girl who was capable of making his almighty best friend miserable.

"We see each other every day but she still treats and regards me like a stranger. That we have slept on the same bed, shared the same plates and cutlery and even kissed does not count as anything to her. She said I should stop treating her kindly if I am not ready to take responsibility for my actions. When I asked what she meant she twisted the words around. Jin, have you ever met a lady who treats you in this way?" Yifeng demanded again anxiously. He needed someone to explain to him why the lady was so unfeeling towards him.
