"No, stay and look after your sick brother, Ok?" Yang Zi teased. She held Yifeng's hands and walked out of the room afterwards.
Yang Zi and Yifeng's journey was a lively one. They talked and teased each other as they drove through the busy road. Despite having drove for over fifteen minutes, Yang Zi did not ask Yifeng where he was taking her to. All she knew was that they were going for a date and she was fine with that little information.
Yifeng quickly slowed down when they got to the gate of a very magnificent Mansion. The security guards at the gate opened the gate for the both of them when they got a glimpse of the one driving the car.
"Whose house is this?" Yang Zi asked curiously after they both stepped out of the car.
"It's the Mansion that is filled with most of my childhood memories," Yifeng said, staring at the Mansion he grew up in. After his parents' death, he and his brother had moved to stay with his Grandpa but despite that, he had put people in charge of taking care of the house.
"Your parent's Mansion?" Yang Zi asked in surprise as she took another gaze at the beautiful Mansion. The Mansion was painted with a mixture of brown and milky colour. Milky colour was the dominant colour. The front of the building was decorated with varieties of flowers.
"Yes," Yifeng replied care freely.
"Let's have a look inside. I am sure you are gonna feel home sick after having a glimpse of the inside," Yifeng said. They both walked into the Mansion holding each other's hand.
After they entered the sitting room, Yang Zi let her gaze wander around the room. She halted when she got a glimpse of the big picture frame on the wall.
"What happened? Why did you stop?" Yifeng asked anxiously as he turned to stare at her.
"Your mum...," Yang Zi said, pointing her index finger at the woman with a broad smile standing close to a handsome man in the picture.
"Yes, she is my mum. What is wrong with that? Have you met her before?" Yifeng asked curiously when he saw Yang Zi's surprised expression. Her expression showed familiarity in it.
"I have a strong feeling that I have met her before, but I can't recall where I saw her," Yang Zi said, walking closer to the picture.
"The moment I set my eyes on her, I feel a strange sensation in my body. The feeling is so strong. It's like I have a strong connection to her," Yang Zi said, her gaze fixated on the beautiful woman.
"Maybe you have met her before that is why you feel that way...,"
"What I feel right now is far from someone I have just met once," Yang Zi said, touching the woman on the frame.
Wow! It's a painting? I almost didn't recognise that it was a painting.
Yang Zi thought as she as touched the woman's face.
"What do you mean? I don't understand you," Yifeng asked in confusion.
"How should I say it? The feeling is hard to explain in words...,"
"You can't possibly be my dad and mum's hidden daughter, right?" Yifeng asked, staring at her to see her reaction.
"Of course not. Although I didn't grow up to meet my birth mother, but I know that we aren't related in any way," Yang Zi replied, instantly taking her eyes off the woman.
"If we aren't, then stop confusing me or I will feel like I have been courting my sister all this time," Yifeng said, pulling her away from the picture frame. Yang Zi who saw how uneasy he looked while staring at his parents' picture quietly followed him with no complaints.
Yifeng and Yang Zi both continued on their tour around the house.
"Wow! The garden is beautiful. The combination of all the fragrance of the flowers is soothing," Yang Zi said. She spread her hands, closed her eyes and sniffed the fragrance of the flowers. The soothing effects were amazing.
"It is," Yifeng replied, as he turned and stare at her. Even with her eyes closed, she still looked mesmerising. He stretched his hand and touched her flawless face.
Yang Zi slowly opened her eyes with a smile on her beautiful face.
"The flowers are beautiful, but their beauty can never be compared to yours," Yifeng said, caressing her smooth skin.
"You are so good at flattering me. You have spoiled me to the point that I can not live a day without your sweet words," Yang Zi said, smiling sweetly at him.
"I am not saying them to flatter you. Those words are the truth. All the men in the universe can testify that there is none as beautiful as my woman," Yifeng said, as he rubbed her red lips with his thumbs.
"You are right, I have heard those compliments from countless men since I was a child, but these coming from your mouth it makes me feel special," Yang Zi said, as she moved closer to him.
"Every minute I spend with you always feels special. Even all the trivial things we do hold so much meaning to me. I love you so much Zi Er. Please never leave me like my parents did because I will not survive it, Ok?" Yifeng said, his expression suddenly turning sad. Everything in the garden reminded him of his parents, especially his mum. Every place in the garden held her memory, and those memories were the happiest memories of his life.
"I am not going anywhere soon. I will stay with you and let you continue spoiling me with your sweets words. Even though you might tire of having me around, I will still stay with you despite that," Yang Zi said, as she embraced him tightly. Although he didn't say what was wrong, she still understood him.
"I will never get tired of having you around me. I will always love and protect you and our future kids. Despite how tiring work might be, I will never take out my frustration on you or our kids. It's a promise and I will keep it no matter what," Yifeng said, as he embraced her tightly. He lost his parents at the time he needed them most in his life, but he vowed to live and protect his loved ones for a long time.
"We just started dating and you've already thought of having kids. Isn't it too early for that? You barely know me that well," Yang Zi said, as she unwrapped her hands around his body.
"I have known you for over a year now, so why do you say I barely know you?" Yifeng asked, with a displeased expression.
"Yeah it is true we have known each other for that long but the truth is there is a lot you don't know about me. You don't know my past, my biological parents, my actual identity and why I chose to work for you," Yang Zi said nervously. Yifeng could read anxiety all over her. He could tell that she wasn't ready to reveal the truth to him, and he did not mind at all.
"You are my beloved Zi Er. That is all I need to know. You can tell me more about yourself when you are not this nervous," Yifeng said playfully as he pulled her cheeks gently.
"But...,"
"I have somewhere special to show you. Come on, let's go," Yifeng did not let her finish speaking. He pulled her along with him through the garden pathway.
The pathway led them to a flower field. Yang Zi gawked when she saw the beautiful flower field. She stood for a while and admired the flowers before she hurried after Yifeng, who was already far away from her.
"Feng, where are you taking me to? Is there something more special than this remarkable scenery," Yang Zi asked, curiously, as she heeled Yifeng.
"I know you love this flower field but we can't stop at the moment and I know you are curious to know where we are going to. All I can tell you is that you will see when we get there," Yifeng said as he continued walking. It was going to get dark soon. He did not want darkness to fall on them when they were still in the field.
"You are arousing my curiosity even more with how secretive you are. You can just give me a few hints so I will know what to expect," Yang Zi said, as she quickly overtook him. She blocked him from walking further.
"The place is just a few steps from here. You will know when we get there so leave the way and let's get going," Yifeng said, trying to walk further, but Yang Zi refused to move.
"I still want to know," Yang Zi insisted.
"If you are not gonna leave, then I am gonna carry you on my shoulders until we get there. Which do you prefer?" Yifeng asked, staring at her for an answer.
"I prefer none...," Before she could speak further, Yifeng stretched his long hands and pulled her closer to himself. The awestruck Yang Zi just stared at him with widened eyes, unable to move away from him.
"I know you are acting so stubborn because I haven't touched you for so long, so how about I fulfil your wish here? I will touch you until you scream for....,"
