Li mansion.
Garden.
Wrapping his arms around her waist, Zixin asked, "You okay?"
Yumi sighed and nodded her head. "Yeah I am fine." Pausing for a while, she added, "I just feel weird for not feeling anything at all. I mean she is about to die and she wanted me to say only a word right? But I didn't do it because it just didn't feel right Zixin."
Turning towards him, she asked, "You don't want me anymore right?"
"And where did that come from?"
"Well, I just turned a dying person down and that is a very cruel and evil thing to do and to top everything up, I don't even feel bad or guilty. Isn't this reason enough not to want me anymore?"
Kissing her forehead, he smiled, "I have never wanted you more Yumi and to be honest, you were looking so sexy when you turned her down."
Slapping his chest, she chuckled, "Stop it—"
"No seriously, that was kinda cool."
Fixing his collar, she added, "I just didn't want to call any woman my mom you know, maybe she was once my mother but she is not anymore, I don't even remember her touch. From the moment I opened my eyes, I have seen two people who have immensely loved me and took care of me like I am a part of them. How can I even pity someone whom I don't even remember? Okay maybe she kept me in her womb for some time but that isn't enough right?"
"Absolute honey and I am with you on this one."
Just then Ming arrived and said, "Can I borrow my daughter for a while."
"Mom you don't have to borrow me from anyone, I am all yours always," Yumi chuckled before wiggling out of Zixin's embrace.

Andrew's Office
Impatiently pacing back and forth, Andrew kept glancing at the watch and the door simultaneously.
Massaging his forehead, Michael frowned, "Will you stop it already? You are giving me a head rush."
"I don't understand, why isn't she here yet? Isn't she supposed to pick up her cheque today?" After the incident, Linyang broke all ties with him and refused to see him at all. She wasn't even?answering his calls or messages and everything was falling apart.
"What makes you think that she will come An? I don't think so she will because she is Yang Linyang."
"What do you mean?"
Michael sighed and explained, "Look she doesn't seem like someone who would want to be associated with you in any way."
"Well, I think she will come because—"
When he stopped midway, Micheal added, "Even you know that she won't but you are just hoping that she will."
Just then an employee entered the room and informed, "Boss, someone is here to collect the cheque on behalf of Ms Yang Linyang."
Andrew frowned and snapped, "Tell her that I will give the cheque only to Ms Yang."
The employee hesitated for a while and said, "Hmm she even said that if you refuse to give the cheque, Ms Yang has asked you to keep it for yourself."
Balling his hand into a fist, Andrew was about to say something when Michael picked up the envelope from the table and handed it over to the employee. "Give this to her and ask her to thank Ms Yang on our behalf."
