Chapter 81 - Is It A Love Triangle?

"I won't give him the pleasure to bully me. Take care of yourself too. Don't get hurt," Wen Min said emotionally, patting Yang Zi's back. Su Jin was so shocked to see them act so close. He was so glad nobody else was there to witness this tiny display from these two ladies, or else he would have felt so embarrassed.

"One more thing, protect your chastity from that play boy CEO of ours, hmm," Wen Min warned, refusing to let go of Yang Zi. Su Jin could not hold it in anymore when he saw how spoilt Wen Min was acting. ​​

"Wen Min, what do you think you are doing? Have you forgotten that Miss Yang is not your gigolo boyfriend?" Su Jin scolded. He felt like tearing her apart from Yang Zi. Wen Min acted as though she did not hear his mocking remarks. She was too happy to let him ruin her mood.

"Wish me luck," Yang Zi said, smiling as she pulled out of her embrace.

"Good luck, girl, don't forget my words," Wen Min wished happily, waving at the departed Yang Zi. Wen Min and Su Jin also followed suite realising that they were the only ones left. As they walked into the forest Yang Zi who was behind quickly overtook Yifeng. She was now the one leading the way. As they walked, none of them uttered a word to each other. Twenty minutes into their journey, the both of them did not find any treasure. Yang Zi who wanted her and Yifeng to win the game became so impatient and because of her impatience she almost fell into a pit had Yifeng not grabbed her hand and pulled her to himself on time.

"Watch out, girl. This is a forest, not your backyard. You can get seriously injured if you take a wrong step," Yifeng, whose heart was beating fast against his chest, advised. His words sounded harsh, but the look on his face showed that he was concerned about her.

"So you know how to talk? I thought you were deaf and dumb?" Yang Zi fired back angrily, pulling away from his embrace. "Why are you mad at me? Do you think I would have walked into the pit if I had seen it? I thought they said we are to work together as a team, but why did you let me do all the work alone?" startled Yang Zi added, turning around, her back now facing him. She felt like tearing up. She turned around so he would not see how scared she was. Although she pretended as though what happened was not a big deal, it terrified her when she almost fell into the deep pit. Who knew what would have happened to her if she had fallen into it? She did not want to imagine how she would have ended up if she had successfully fallen into the pit. Though she hated her current life, she still was not ready to part ways with the people she loved.

"You are the one who is angry not me and you are the one who did not want to talk to me so what did you expect me to do? You don't expect me to talk to myself, right? And are you alright?" Yifeng asked as he walked closer to her.

"I am sorry for shouting at you. I couldn't hold myself back from getting mad when I saw you almost falling into the pit. Don't be mad, hmmm," Yifeng coaxed, but he did not make the mistake of touching her. He knew she would flare up again if he dared to touch her. Although Yang Zi did not speak, his words really soothed her anger.

"I will cooperate with you but you have to respond whenever I speak to you, okay?" Yifeng asked meekly.

"That is more like it," Yang Zi replied with a smile flashing on her face. She walked ahead afterwards.

"What are you still waiting for?" Yang Zi, who walked away, asked when she saw Yifeng standing at the same spot.

"Coming," Yifeng responded, smiling. From then onwards, they still rarely spoke to each other, but the atmosphere was not dull.

Yang Zi and Yifeng did not get their hands on even one treasure while Wen Min and Su Jin on the other hand just removed their second treasure on a branch of a tree.

"Hey, girl, walk faster. How come you know how to talk alot but you can't walk fast?" Su Jin shouted at struggling Wen Min who was trying to climb a sloppy area.

"Will you die if you speak politely to me for once? I have known you since we were little but why has your attitude towards me not changed even a slightest bit?" Wen Min said gasping for air. "I have seen you speak to Yang Zi so many times and you have not spoken rudely to her. You always speak sweetly to her, but what about me? You always lash out at me whenever we speak or don't tell me you have a crush on her. That is why you are always acting so sweet with her?" Wen Min who finally caught up to him questioned, panting.

Su Jin instantly turned and glared daggers at her.

"Stop spewing nonsense if you know nothing or you might get into serious trouble with Feng if you utter those nonsense again when he is around," Su Jin snapped harshly.

"Oh! So it's not only you that likes her but my play boy cousin also likes her?" Wen Min said, shaking her head in realisation. "Two best friends like the same girl. What a cruel fate," Wen Min added, shaking her head yet again, but this time she acted as though she pitied Su Jin.

"Li Yifeng is not the type of guy to genuinely like a lady. I bet he just wants to have sex with Yang Zi. This means you have a greater chance in winning Yang Zi's heart. It's up to you to utilise all you've got to win the woman you....," Su Jin who heard voices of people approaching quickly covered her mouth with his hand.

"Stop making assumptions. I don't have feelings for Yang Zi, and even though I liked Yang Zi, I will never betray my best friend because of my feelings for a girl. Got it?" Su Jin threatened before he left her alone.

"You are such a loyal friend. I knew you would never do that to Feng. I was only testing you. Even though you don't like my best friend be certain that I will not let that play boy cousin of mine to hurt her," Wen Min said, hurrying to catch up with him.
