Chapter 127 - Misunderstanding Solved Giving Birth To A New Beginning
"Definitely," Yifeng replied. Yang Zi surprised him when she hugged him out of the blues.
"Why?" Yifeng asked with a puzzled look.
"Why what?" Yang Zi said instantly, pulling out of his embrace when she realised what she had done.
"Why did you hug me, don't tell me you have already fallen for me?" Yifeng kidded, smiling as he stared at her.
"You can call that over-excitement madness," Yang Zi said, smiling. She just couldn't stop herself from smiling, knowing that what has been eating her up was now settled. "And one more thing, stop dreaming so big because I am far from falling in love with you," Yang Zi said sarcastically.
"I know you would say that," Yifeng said, not minding Yang Zi just rejected him yet again. Just then the waiter entered the room with a red and white coloured trolley filled with varieties of food.
"What kept you waiting for so long? Would you have taken responsibility if someone had collapsed because of your poor customer services?" Yifeng asked, taking out the anger he felt when Yang Zi told him he was hungry on the waiter.
"I am sorry, Young Master, but we are serving your order according to the instructions our customer who booked the room gave us. He specifically told us the time to serve you," The waiter explained, bowing apologetically. "Wow, I can't believe that my naughty little brother is very smart. His gift is just perfect," Yifeng thought, smiling. The waiter instantly displayed all the special cuisine on the table. A bottle of red wine accompanied the order that Chen specifically made on their behalf. Yifeng texted someone before he and Yang Zi started eating. They talked and laughed as they ate.

Shui Shui whose shooting scene just ended sat down in her van dejectedly with her head on her laps as the driver drove gently. Today was Valentine's day, but she had no one to celebrate with. She, Shiyi and Yang Zi normally celebrated it together since they were forever single, but right now she wasn't in the mood of calling anyone of them. Her mood has been so gloomy for over a month now since she didn't get to speak with Jin Xiaofei. She has secretly taken peeps at him a few times before he leaves his office, but they haven't really spoken since that day.
Shui Shui slowly raised her head up when she heard her phone rang. She had expected the caller to be one of her friends or her parents, but she got the shock of her life when she saw the caller ID. Out of shock, the phone fell from her hands. The phone lied on the car's floor until it stopped ringing. Before she could even pick it up, the phone rang again. She was stunned to see that it was from the same caller.
"Miss Shui Shui, aren't you going to answer the call?" Puzzled, Song Li asked when he saw how weird her boss was acting. Shui Shui finally answered the call after the third time. She listened to the guy rant without uttering a word. She only spoke in the last part of their conversation.
"Ok, I have heard you," Shui Shui said before she disconnected the call.
"I discharge you from your duties. From this moment on, I will find my way home," Shui Shui ordered, picking her face-cap, handbag and muffler from the car.
"Miss Shui Shui, the CEO specifically told us to drive you home. He will murder us if he finds out that we did otherwise," Song Li said persuasively, his words earning a nod from the driver.
"If ever he finds out what happened here, tell him I will take full responsibility. He can murder me in your stead if he wants," Shui Shui said indifferently, putting on her face cap and muffler before she stepped out of the car. Song Li followed her out of the car, too.
"Miss Shui Shui, please take me along to wherever you are going so I can watch over you and make sure you are safe," Song Li said stubbornly following Shui Shui despite her warning.
"Do you think it is only the CEO who will murder you if you defile his command? I can also do that so watch your head as you dare to defile me because you will be surprised to see it rolling on the ground," Shui Shui threatened as she tried to wave down a cab. The fourth cab which passed finally stopped in front of her. Before she entered the cab she sternly warned him not to dare follow her.
"Who on earth is the caller? She is acting so weird and suspicious. I just pray that the CEO does not learn about this or he will really fire me this time around?" Song Li thought dejectedly as he walked back to the van. The driver drove the car away but in the opposite direction.
Shui Shui rested her back against the seat, staring at the beautiful bright City. Filming has taken a huge toll on her. She usually worked late into the night and to worsen the matter she would go to various places for photo shoots for the products she models for after the movie filming was over. She hardly had time for herself or friends anymore. This endless work has been the perfect medicine for forgetting about him. She quickly snapped out of her daze when the driver informed her she had reached her destination. She paid the taxi driver and even gave him a hefty sum of money as tips before she stepped out of the car. The man thanked her profusely before he drove off, beaming as he hummed his favourite lyrics.
Shui Shui brought out her phone from her handbag to check the directions the person sent to her. Shui Shui followed the directions. She didn't walk too far before she came to a place which looks like a flower garden. "Such a peculiar place. What am I even doing here?" Shui Shui asked herself as she continued to walk on the narrow part. It got to a point that different colours of light decorated the pathway, but the red and white lights stood out more. They decorated even the tall trees with the same bright shiny lights too. Shui Shui could not stop herself from smiling when she realised what the person was up to with all the surprises and decorations. At the end of the walkway, HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY was boldly written on the ground. Red roses were used to write the words on the ground. As she raised her head up, she saw a tall figure sitting down under a shade. Two tall trees standing side by side served as the shade. Shui Shui's expression instantly turned to a stern one before she walked to where he was sitting down.
Jin Xiaofei rushed to her side when he heard approaching footsteps. His expression shows that he was relieved to see her. When he mustered up the courage to call her earlier, he was so afraid that she would not answer his call, and even when she answered the call she did not say whether she was coming. He wouldn't have blamed her if she didn't show up because he knows that he was the one at fault.
"Wow! Thank goodness you are here," Jin Xiaofei exclaimed happily, attempting to hold her hand but Shui Shui instantly hid her hands behind her back avoiding his touch.
"Good evening Mr Jin Xiaofei, you said you needed to see me urgently so how may I help you?" Shui Shui asked, to the shock of Xiaofei. Her voice was stern and lacked any form of familiarity in it. "Damn you, Jin Xiaofei! Look at what your stubbornness has caused, she now hates you," Jin Xiaofei thought, staring at Shui Shui's blank expression.
"Yes, I did, but can we have a seat first?" Xiaofei said urging her on, but Shui Shui did not budged.
"As you know, I am a very busy person. I just concluded a six hours long movie shoot a few minutes ago, I am so damn tired and I need to rest. Say whatever you have to say so I will take my leave," Shui Shui said coldly, playing the hard to get game.
"Yes, I know you are a very busy person and I am sorry for calling you out after a tedious day at the filming site but can you at least sit. I can't tell you what I have in mind while standing," Xiaofei coaxed. Shui Shui reluctantly did as he suggested after a few minutes of contemplation. After sitting down, they just stared at each other. Nobody said a word to the other.
"Why are you keeping quiet? I thought you said you had something to tell me? I am now seated so let's hear why you called me here," Shui Shui said, giving Xiaofei an icy gaze. Seeing how Shui Shui acted, Jin Xiaofei knew he was in serious trouble. He knew that earning her forgiveness will not be easy like the last time.
