Chapter 117 - Wen Min All Out To Protect Yang Zi From Everyone

"You look so beautiful, Miss Yang. I missed having you around," Yuan Quan said, stretching out his hand for a handshake. Nobody in the room knew whether Yuan Quan actually heard Wen Min's greetings or not.

"Drop your gaze down. My best friend is way too good for you," Wen Min warned, staring daggers at him as she pushed his outstretched hand away. Wen Min did not like the way Yuan Quan stared at her friend. "Why is she snatching my only partner away from me? I wonder how the both of them became so close," Yuan Quan stared daggers back at the oblivious Wen Min. 

"The compliments were not for you but for Miss Yang, so let her be the judge," Gutsy Yuan Quan spoke up to the bewilderment of Wen Min. "Did he just insult me indirectly?" Wen Min thought, giving Yuan Quan a dead gaze.

"Let her be the judge? I know that Yang Zi is kindhearted so she will not say it to your face since she takes your feelings into consideration, but I am different. Stop drooling over her or I will gouge out your eyes the day I see you stare at my best friend, lecherously? That is not a threat but a warning, so watch your back because I am watching you," Wen Min threatened sternly, showing him the I'm watching you sign for him to see. Yang Zi's eyes widened when she heard Wen Min say that she was kind-hearted. "I guess she thinks this way because she doesn't know me too well," Yang Zi assumed staring at them.

"I am not even afraid of my boss, so why should I be afraid of you?" Yuan Quan sneered. What Wen Min said irked him. He has always disliked Wen Min since the day she started working in the company. 

"Guys, stop fighting already. Boss might arrive any time from now. He will surely throw us out of his office if he meets us in this manner," Yang Zi said, pulling Wen Min away from Yuan Quan's desk.

"At least not you," Wen Min remarked, still giving Yuan Quan mean gazes.

"What did you mean by that?" Yang Zi asked curiously.

"I mean he will only throw me and this chatterbox out of his office but not you," Wen Min said, finally leaving Yuan Quan alone. She would have kept on quarrelling with him if Yang Zi did not separate them.

"Yuan Quan I know my reply might come late but thanks for your compliments. You sure have eyes for fashion," Yang Zi quickly put an end to her conversation with Yuan Quan and turned around to face Wen Min, who was standing in front of her desk.

"Over to you now? Let's talk about what happened to you and Yuan Quan first before we talk about your earlier statement," Yang Zi said, giving her a questioning gaze.

"After you left the resort informing no one, since I didn't collect your contact information I tried every means to get in touch with you but to no avail. I asked Jin for your contact info and home address, but he totally ignored me. So...,"

"Director Jin does not have my contact info or home address so he wasn't ignoring you but he just knew nothing about the information you asked. Don't be mad at him Ok? I guess he felt embarrassed to tell you he knows nothing about me although we are close," Yang Zi explained.

"Even though what you said is true, he has the authority to get the information, so why didn't he do that?" Wen Min asked angrily.

"You know him more than I do so you should know that Director Jin is not the type to intrude into someone else's privacy, be more understanding, hmm?" Yang Zi persuaded Wen Min, holding her hand. Yuan Quan rolled his eyes when he saw how spoilt Wen Min was acting.

"Be thankful that I know your relationship with my boss or else I wouldn't have hesitated from throwing you out of here," Yuan Quan assumed.

"You know my relationship with Feng and Jin?" Wen Min asked, covering her mouth with her hands, thinking she had blown her cover.

"We will talk about your relationship with him later but tell me what happened with you and Yuan Quan that is making the both of you quarrel. Both of you are like cats and dogs," Yang Zi asked. She knew her relationship with Su Jin and Li Yifeng might be deeper than she thought, but she wasn't curious about that at all.

"After Jin ignored me, I was so expectant when I resumed work thinking I will get the information from Feng or Yuan Quan but to my greatest surprise Feng also kept mute to me too. He refused to even utter a word to me so after stumping out of his office, I went to Yuan Quan but guessed what he told me after I informed him about what brought me to his desk?" Wen Min asked. She turned around and glared at Yuan Quan before she brought her attention back to Yang Zi. 

"Did he say you should ask me for the information if you said we were close?" Yang Zi questioned inquisitively. The moment Wen Min opened her mouth to reply, Li Yifeng entered the room. Yifeng was excited to see her. He felt like walking up to her and giving her a warm hug, but he knew he wasn't allowed to do that. He missed her so much, but he could only stare at her from afar. Since his gaze was on Yang Zi, the moment he entered the room he did not notice that Wen Min was there. Wen Min just glanced at him as his gaze focused on Yang Zi. She wouldn't have believed it if someone told her that this day will come for her playboy cousin. She quietly stood up from where she was sitting and sneaked to him.

"Wake up guy. You might disfigure her with your gaze," Wen Min said, waving her hands at his face. It was when she waved at him that Yifeng realised that they were not alone.

"And what does that have to do with you?" Yifeng turned to face her, his gaze cold and fierce. "Why are you here instead of your desk or has my office suddenly become your office?" Yifeng added. His expression shows that he was mad.

"Good for her," Yuan Quan thought, smiling. Yang Zi knew Wen Min would get in trouble if she said nothing to defend her. 

"Boss please don't be mad. I forced Wen Min to accompany me here because I missed her very much so please don't get angry at her," Yang Zi pleaded immediately, taking her stance in front of him. She nudged Wen Min to stand at her back, and Wen Min reluctantly did as she instructed.

"You didn't have to plead, the worst he could do is shout at me, but he won't kill me," Wen Min mumbled to the earring of Yang Zi and Yifeng.

"Did you just say something?" Yifeng asked, staring daggers at her. His heart, which melted when Yang Zi spoke, hardened once again.

"Yuan Quan, did you hear her say something?" Yang Zi asked, knowing very well that Yuan Quan heard nothing. Yuan Quan shook his head to tell her he didn't hear Wen Min utter a word.

"See Boss, Yuan Quan said he didn't hear her say anything so I am certain Wen Min did not utter a word," Yang Zi lied to save Wen Min.

"What are you still waiting for?" Yifeng asked, seeing that Yang Zi was bent on rescuing Wen Min.

"She is not waiting for anything. In fact, she was just on her way, or am I not correct Wen Min?" Yang Zi asked Wen Min to support her.

"I can see that my presence is not needed here so I will visit you during lunch time. Take care," Wen Min added, staring at him. "You can eat your office, tyrant monster," Wen Min said, disappearing immediately from the room. Yifeng stared at the departing figure for a few minutes before he turned to stare at Yang Zi.

"How are you now? You refused to see me, so I didn't know how you were faring," Yifeng explained. He completely ignored Yuan Quan.

"I am fine. I hope you are good too?" Yang Zi asked, staring at him.

"I am doing perfectly Ok, thank you for asking. You should have rested for a few more days, so why did you resume work so early?" Yifeng asked, his mood brightening a bit.

"Aren't you the one who threatened me to resume work today and now you are saying I should have rested some more? You are confusing me with your sudden change of mind," Yang Zi said, staring at him with a confused look.

"Did I say that?" Yifeng asked, pretending as if he did not remember when he threatened her.

"Yes, you did, or should I repeat all you said to me that day?" Yang Zi asked.

"Boss, you are welcome. I greeted you earlier, but you did not reply," dense Yuan Quan interrupted them.

"I have heard you so can you not interrupt my conversation again," Yifeng scolded, turning to face Yang Zi.
