After he entered his room, he locked the door behind him. Yang Zi unwrapped her legs around his waist when she realised that they had reached Yifeng's room.

"Had enough?" Yang Zi asked, staring at him.

"Far from getting enough of this delicious lips of yours. I was practically starved for over a week, so I want more. Not only more of your lips, but I also want to have a taste of every part of your body. I want to savour the taste for a long time and I know that is what you want too. Your eyes and body said it all so you can't deny it this time around," Yifeng said, taking steady steps towards her.

Yang Zi took slow steps backwards as Yifeng approached her. She moved until her back was now pressing against the wall. Yifeng placed his left hand on the wall so she would not run away from him. He stared at her inquisitively.

"I never wanted to deny it. I was just...,"

"Ok, then give me an answer to my question earlier," Yifeng said, staring into her eyeballs.

"What question?" Yang Zi immediately feigned ignorance of his question. She gave him an innocent gaze.

"Do you love me? Has your heart ever skipped whenever you are with?" Yifeng asked yet again. He knew that she was only pretending so she would not answer his question.

"Hmm...," Yang Zi trailed as she made to kiss Yifeng like she did earlier, but Yifeng avoided her lips in a flash.

"That trick will not work on me twice, so answer my question," Yifeng said, turning to face her again. From her pouting lips, he could see how displeased she was that he avoided her advances.

"Would you not agree to marry me if I ask you to be my bride?" Yifeng twisted the question, seeing that she would not answer his previous question no matter how hard he tried to pry the answers from her.

"Hmm...,"

"You are hesitating again, which is making me feel so unhappy. Although I have never made it obvious, I always feel a sharp pain in my chest whenever you reject me. The pain is always so severe that I sometimes thought I could die from the excruciating pain," Yifeng said with a pained look.

"Really? I am sorry, I never knew that you always went through such excruciating pains because of me," Yang Zi said apologetically as she rubbed his chest with her right hand. She wanted to soothe the pain.

"If you are sincere about your apologies, then answer my question? Do you love me? Will you marry me if I propose to you after the three months due date expires?" Yifeng asked mellowly.

Of course, I will marry you, but how can I tell you this when I am planning to do something that will break your heart after the due date expires? Two months have passed by within a twinkle of an eye, and I have fallen so deeply in love with you. I don't think I can live without you now. I love you to the point that you have become my world. I want to be your beloved wife more than you would ever imagine but I will have to disappoint you here but I promise I will not hesitate to marry you if you forgive me for what I am going to do later.

Yang Zi thought, staring into Yifeng's eyes with her misty eyes. Just the thought she will have to quit working for Yifeng broke her heart. She was so accustomed to having him beside her that living away from him will become very difficult for her.

"Instead of keeping silent, you can just tell me what is on your mind. You should make it clear to me whether you are just using me. Although it will break my heart to know that you were just toying with my feelings, at least knowing the truth is better than being kept in the dark," Yifeng said, turning to walk away but he didn't walk very far before Yang Zi embraced him from the back. She hugged him tightly. She was afraid he might slip away under her watch.

"You know, all you've said is not true. I care about you so much...,"

"I have heard you said that countless times, but you've never admitted that you love me no matter how hard I try to sound you out. You have always been cautious of whatever you say around me. You are always calculative around me as if you are afraid to say something you shouldn't say," Yifeng said painfully.

"Don't you trust my love for you? Do you still dislike me? Are you dating me to take revenge on me for all I did to you in the past? Why do you keep hurting me so badly?".

Oh, my god! How did our little intimate acts graduate into a serious topic like this? How did we arrive at this discussion and why does he make it look like everything I have ever done always made him unhappy?

Yang Zi thought painfully. For a moment she did not know what to say to assure Yifeng that everything she has ever done was to make him happy. She even sacrificed all her principles and went against her friends countless times just for him.

How on earth will I bear to constantly hurt the man that I love? I gave him the three months condition because I didn't want to hurt him, so why am I the bad guy here?

"Are you saying you are not always happy whenever you are with me? Am I the cause of your unhappiness? Tell me, Feng," Yang Zi asked, walking towards the bed, but Yifeng quickly closed the gap between. He grabbed her wrist and quickly pulled her to himself. He pulled her even closer so that there is no space between them.

"How could you ever cause my unhappiness?" Yifeng asked, stroking her hair affectionately. "Every second I spend with you is like paradise. Your presence is like sunshine, it always brightens my day. You are like the air that I breathe. Without you in my life, life itself will be meaningless to me," Yifeng said as he moved to caress her flawless skin. By now Yang Zi's face has turned red. Yifeng's words sounded so pleasing to her ears. She could not help but blush to his sweet words.

"I love you so much, Yang Zi. I adore you, beauty. Every time I set my eyes on you, I always find it hard to take my eyes off you. That is how much I love. You have become my everything. A day without you is like an eternity to me. I vow that I will love you all my life, no matter if you grew to hate me. May I die a painful death if I ever betray you deliberately," Yifeng said, his index finger now on her lips.

Every day with Yang Zi is like torture to him. He always wanted to hold, touch and play many naughty intimate acts with her but whenever he remembered his promise, he always held back his desires. He is a man of principles, he always sticks to his promises. Sometimes the thought he might break his promise to her always saddened him.

"I am certain that I will never betray you, but if you dare to run off with another woman or break my trust. I will be the one to personally murder you," Yang Zi said, caressing his face.

"Then it is a promise that you will never leave me, right?" Yifeng asked anxiously.

"Yes, it is a promise," Yang Zi said, giving him her most bewitching smile. Yifeng's heart immediately got struck by a Cupid's arrow. He couldn't resist her cuteness.

"Would you go on a date with me tomorrow? I have a special place to show you," Yifeng said meekly.

"I will go on a date with you tomorrow, but before that will you go on a date with me?" Yang Zi asked, staring into his passion-filled eyes.

"Yes, I will, but when is the date? I need to know so I can clear out my schedule," Yifeng replied.

"Right now," Yang Zi blurted carefreely.

"Now?" Yifeng asked with a mixture of surprise and confusion.

Did she prepare a surprise date that I am not aware of or is she just teasing me?

Yifeng thought, uncertain about what his beloved woman was up to.

"Yes, now," Yang Zi said, smiling naughtily when she saw Yifeng's bewildered expression.

"What do you want us to do for the date? Did you already make plans for it," Yifeng asked? 

"I want this," Yang Zi said, pulling him in for a deep kiss. She kissed him intensely for a few minutes before she withdrew.

"You really know a way of provoking me, and I love that you always provoke this loving hubby of yours in the most seductive manner ever. Let me show you what it means to provoke the demon in me," Yifeng said, kissing her. He didn't give her the space to recover from their earlier kiss.

Yifeng kissed her lips passionately and intensely. The way he kissed her was as if they had starved him of food and water for a year. There was no form of gentleness like their earlier intimate session downstairs. As he kissed her, he let his hands slowly unbuttoned his white shirt that she was wearing. Still kissing her, he made her subconsciously moved towards the location of the bed.
