Chapter 59 - Let Them Misunderstand

"You are correct, nobody dares to bully me," Yang Zi stated confidently. "Boss is something on your mind that couldn't make you fall asleep or are always sensitive to change of environment?" Yang Zi added as the two of them took a walk outside the field.

"Wow! This is the first time you have ever asked me about my wellbeing so does this mean you are worried about me?" Yifeng who had the knack for changing the discussion asked not willing to tell her what was on his mind that couldn't make him fall asleep. ​​

"Are you serious, Boss? If you will continue to act like this just forget I ever asked you such a question," Yang Zi suggested as she walked away, but Yifeng instantly grabbed hold of her wrist and pulled her by force. Yang Zi's right hand rested on his firm chest because of the force he applied. Their body was so close, it made Yang Zi feel uncomfortable. Yang Zi did not look into his eyes. It was as if she was afraid that she would be trapped in his fiery eyes for eternity.

"Yang Zi, why do you have the habit of avoiding me whenever I try to get close to you? You have been acting this way for sometime now, so I just want to know, do you have a problem with me? I thought we are on good terms, so why are you treating me like this?" Yifeng questioned, sounding as calm as ever. No matter how hard he tried to stare directly into her eyes, Yang Zi avoided making eye contact with him.

"Mr Li, will you please let go of my waist and wrist? Someone might misunderstand our relationship if they see us in this ambiguous position, so please kindly let go, Uh? Let's talk like responsible adults," Yang Zi said, trying to break free from his firm grip.

"Let them misunderstand, I hold no one any explanation or apology. Answer my question then I will think about releasing your wrist later," Yifeng replied firmly.

"That you don't care whether our relationship gets misunderstood does not mean that I don't care. I have a boyfriend who loves me very much, so I don't want our relationship to get misunderstood. I respect you as my boss, that is why I am asking you nicely so please don't make me use force on you," Yang Zi warned.

"Oh! So Yang Zi here wants to fight, huh? Then bring it on. It's been a long time since I last stretched. So let me see your skills," Yifeng said provocatively as he pulled her even closer. Their lips would have met if he had pulled her any closer. Yang Zi did not wait for him to say further before she attacked him with her right leg but Yifeng immediately retracted his leg but still maintaining his firm grip around her slender waist and her left hand. When Yang Zi saw this, she smirked wickedly.

Without giving Yifeng the time to get over her first attack, she attacked him swiftly with her right hand. Yifeng staggered a few steps backward because of the impact of the attack.

"Wow! Yang Zi, I guessed I underestimated you. Your skills are not inferior so I guess you might have diligently learned martial arts," Yifeng complimented as he swaggerliciously dusted off the place she had hit him on.

"Who says so? I have only learnt some self-defence skills when I was abroad so don't overreact. Let's drop this martial arts bullsh*t and go for some more rounds. Who knows I might be able to fall asleep if I sweat out all that has been bothering me," Yang Zi declared delightfully as she took her stance. She attacked Yifeng fiercely, even when he didn't give her the go ahead. They kept on fighting for about an hour before they both fell on the wet grass, panting heavily.

"The way you attacked me shows how much you really hate me and saying that you only learnt self-defence skills shows that you were lying," Yifeng said. "Yang Zi, tell me what do I have to do to win your heart?" Yifeng asked, still gasping for air. Yang Zi laughed weirdly when she heard his question.

"Which heart do you want to win when I don't even possess one?" Yang Zi said as she chuckled. Her reply stupefied momentarily Yifeng, but he soon regained his senses.

"Why did you say that? I once thought I didn't have a heart, but I realised recently that I was only deluding myself with such lies to cover up how I really feel. Anyone who says that they don't have a heart is a dead being because even a demon or monster has a heart. Anyone who can feel pain or happiness possesses a heart so you can't scare me away with your words," Yifeng responded vehemently as he sat up.

"Maybe you do, but I don't," Yang Zi said unwavering. "Boss if you want me to work for you a while longer I suggest that you let our relationship remain like it is or I will be forced to quit. Although you are cold and have a nasty temper, I know that you are not a bad person so I really don't want to harm you so please keep a safe distance from me from today onwards," Yang Zi said coldly before she stood up and walked away.
