Chapter 94 - Mrs Yang Teases

"Mrs Yang, it is a pleasure to work with Yang Zi but not a hassle. The word perfection is only suitable to describe her. Her kind is rare to come by, so I am blessed to have her by my side," Yifeng said politely. Mrs Yang expected that Yifeng would bad-mouth Yang Zi to her, she was surprised to see him speak well of her daughter. She was tempted to look into Yifeng's eyes. The way he sounded was as if there is more to their relationship. So she wanted to know what Yifeng's feelings were for her darling daughter. Mrs Yang chuckled when she saw his eyes, which were oozing with affections. She was a love expert since she herself is a romantic person. "So CEO Li here is in love with my troublemaker daughter. What a pity. It won't be an easy feat to win her heart," Mrs Yang said, staring at Yifeng.

"Mum, stop staring at him in that manner or he might think you have a crush on him," Yang Zi whispered into her mum's ears when she saw her staring at Yifeng keenly.

"That will be fun," Mrs Yang said mischievously. Immediately after her mum finished speaking, Yang Zi instantly covered her mouth with her hands. She used her mum to shield herself so that Yifeng will not see it.

"Zi Er, are you Ok? I was wondering why I didn't see you vomit, but here it comes. That is why I sternly warned you not to come, but you wouldn't listen," Mrs Yang scolded, but she was worried about Yang Zi.

"I am Ok mum besides my dislike for the hospital has gotten better. I can now withstand the smell, so don't worry. This is nothing, I can suppress it," Yang Zi said forcing a smile on so she won't make her mum worried.

Yifeng was so curious to know what mother and daughter were whispering about, he didn't have any choice but to watch them ignore his presence. He walked closer to where Yang Mi was lying. He stroked her hair gently. He was happy that she was no longer in pain. He only met the little girl once, but he couldn't resist her cuteness the first time they met. He fell for the little girl's charms.

"Get well soon, Ok," Yifeng said, still stroking her hair.

"When are you going to say yes to him? He came all the way here because of you which shows that he really likes you so when are you going to end his suffering and give in to his proposal," Mrs Yang who was now facing Yifeng whispered.

"Mum, you know what he is asking of me is not possible. Besides, why will I give him an answer when I already have a boyfriend?" Yang Zi said, staring at Yifeng too.

"We both know why you became that guy's boyfriend, or do you need me to narrate it for you?" Mrs Yang asked, turning her gaze at the shocked Yang Zi. All these years she assumed that her mum did not know about her revenge plans so she was startled to know that her mum knew what she has been trying to hide from her for so long.

"Mum, you knew...," Yang Zi could not complete her sentence because Mrs Yang immediately ran to Yifeng's side.

"Are you okay? You don't look too well," Mrs Yang asked worried as she held onto Yifeng who was too weak to stand on his own. Yang Zi rushed to his side too.

"I am fine, Mrs Yang, thank you," Yifeng replied weakly. If it was only because of the fever, he wouldn't have been so weak. Lack of sleep combined with being exposed to the heavy rain for a long time took a toll on his health. He could not handle it anymore.

"You keep repeating that you are alright when you are not. Will you only admit that you are not alright when you collapsed?" Yang Zi asked after hearing him say he was fine yet again.

"You can't blame me. I guess we are very much alike in that aspect," Yifeng spoke bluntly. Yang Zi did not have time to exchange words with him. She walked over to a nurse tending to another patient in the hall. They were about twenty beds in the enormous ward. Ten at the left-hand side and another ten on the right-hand side. Almost all the patients were asleep so the ward was not rowdy.

"Hello, there is a patient here who needs the attention of the doctor. I will very much appreciate it if you can tell the doctor that it is urgent," Yang Zi mentioned, staring at the nurse putting on a white overall who was taking records of a patient whose head and right leg was bandaged. The patient looked like he was involved in a car accident.

"Ok. I will go get him after I am through checking up on this patient," the nurse said politely. Yang Zi walked back to where her mum and Yifeng were sitting.

"The doctor will be here in about five minutes, hold on till then. It will be a hassle if you collapse," Yang Zi said, trying to sound unbothered.

"Zi Er, why are you treating a sick person like this? I am sure he was the one who took care of you back in the resort, so can't you at least do the same for him? I have told you to be more affectionate towards people because you might lose someone important if you continue acting like this," Mrs Yang scolded, seeing Yang Zi's indifferent attitude. She knew Yang Zi cared about the guy's wellbeing, but Mrs Yang also knew that Yifeng might misunderstand her due to her harsh words and actions.

"But mum...,"

"Listen to me for once, hmmm? He took care of you so you should do the same, or haven't you heard the adage that says one good turn deserves another?" Mrs Yang immediately interrupted her before she could lay down her complaints.

"Mrs Yang, you don't have to be so hard on her. Yang Zi is just like that. She often says words she doesn't mean so I am sure she is worried about me but she just doesn't know how to express it," Yifeng who was watching them interfered. He felt uncomfortable seeing Mrs Yang reprimand Yang Zi because of him. Mrs Yang smiled when Yifeng spoke up for Yang Zi. His actions amused her. A sly smile flashed on her face.

"Wow! If you know Zi Er to that extent this means you have been studying her closely which makes me want to ask. Do you like my Zi Er?" Mrs Yang asked, suddenly taking Yifeng and Yang Zi by surprise. Yifeng immediately started coughing severely when he heard her question. His expression showed that he was not expecting that question from her and was caught totally off guard.
