"Mum, your beloved daughter's dignity is at stake here so you can't disclose this embarrassing incident to anyone," Yang Zi pleaded. Both mother and daughter continued playing and talking for a long time. Now it was time for Mrs Yang to go back.
"Mum, although you oversee the smooth running of our family's business at home I know you are just as busy as those CEOs working fulltime in the office so, you don't have to stay and look after me any longer. All those numerous emails and heaps of files are waiting for you so how about you have mercy on them and attend to them?" Yang Zi said. The way she talked was as if she was trying to pursue her mum out of the hospital.
"And besides, Mi Er should be back home by now. With you not around, nobody is will be able to control her. She is gonna throw tantrums about coming to the hospital until Nanny has no choice but to agree to her wish," Yang Zi added seriously.
"If you are worried about me staying alone, you don't have to because I am sure Feng is on his way here...,"
"You can stop nagging at me Zi Er because I am going. You don't have to come up with excuses to chase me away just because you want to spend uninterrupted time with your man," Mrs Yang said, standing up from the bed.
"Mum, I am not chasing you away. In fact, I could never chase my sweet loving mother away just because of my desires. I am doing all these for your sake. I don't want you to go back home and realise that Mi Er has set the mansion ablaze just because no one wanted to listen to her demands," Yang Zi exaggerated, trying to stand up from the bed.
"And mum, I am getting discharged after tomorrow so you don't have to drop by at the hospital anymore," Yang Zi said, standing on her two feet. Before she could take a step forward the door flew open. The first thing Yifeng eyes met after entering the room was the standing Yang Zi.
He instantly rushed to her side. From his expression, one could tell that he did not see his mother-in-law standing right in the room. All Yifeng could see was Yang Zi.
"Beauty, haven't I told you not to walk around since your leg hasn't healed fully?" Yifeng asked, looking very concern.
"How many times do I have to tell you to call the nurses if you need anything?" Yifeng scolded, as he let her sit back gently on the bed.
"Seeing you spoil her this way when she is only injured I wonder how you will spoil her when she carries your child. Will you no longer let her walk anymore during her pregnancy?" Mrs Yang asked, staring at the worried Yifeng.
"Doing that isn't a bad idea...," Yifeng paused when he recognised the familiar voice.
"Mum!" Yifeng who had no idea she was there exclaimed in astonishment.
"Mum, I am sorry for my rudeness, I never realised you were here," Yifeng said apologetically.
"I know all that was on your mind while coming to the hospital was Zi Er, I know you wouldn't have ignored me if you had seen me," Mrs Yang said beaming at him.
"Mum, have you seen just how much he nags at me? He refused to let me walk even though the doctor had confirmed that my leg is alright. His constant show of affection makes me feel like a cripple," Yang Zi said, thinking that her mum will take her side.
"Are you saying you don't like how caring he treats you? Do you despise that he abandons all his work just to stay with you?" Mrs Yang asked.
"Of course not. I love just how much he spoils me each passing day. I love the feeling of having him beside me...,"
"If you love it like you said then why were you complaining earlier? Did you perhaps want me to tell Yifeng to let you do whatever you want?" Mrs Yang who knew why Yang Zi made the comments earlier asked.
"I will only spoil the fun for the both of you if I continue staying here so I am leaving you lovebirds alone," Mrs Yang said, grabbing her handbag from the centre table. She turned and walked to the door afterwards.
"Let me see you off," Yifeng said, as he quickly stood up and hurried after her.
"Don't move a muscle, I am gonna severely punish you if you disobey my orders," Yifeng warned before he finally stepped out of the room.
At the parking lounge, Mrs Yang who was about to enter the car turn to face Yifeng acted like she recalled something.
"Feng, since you have always seen the pleasant side of Zi Er, I know you might think that she is carefree like someone who doesn't care in this world but I am sorry to tell you that is not entirely how Zi Er is," Mrs Yang said, in a serious tone.
"Although she always acts tough, I know that she has the most delicate heart in this world. It takes just one terrible incident for her to crumble. I have witnessed this side of hers countless times. I know just what she passed through to overcome the tragic death of her only sister. I know you might be wondering why I am telling you all this," Mrs Yang said, her gaze focused on Yifeng's face.
"I am telling you this because I don't want to see my Zi Er hurt and I also don't want to see her harming people because she can no longer tolerate them. Even when she never liked you in the past, I have never warned you to stay away from her because I trusted that you were perfect for her. I thought that with your influence you could protect her from every storm that may come her way...,"
"Mum, I am sorry for letting you down. I admit that what happened to Zi Er was all my fault. This wouldn't have happened if I had protected her well," Yifeng said. Each time he recalled just helpless he was on that night, his blood always boiled in anger.
