Fallen In Love: The Ceo Who Tamed Me

"Don't fall ill, look after yourself too, or Yang Zi will feel very guilty when she wakes up and learns that you fell ill while taking care of her," Wen Min advised before she and Su Jin left the room. Tired, Yifeng fell asleep resting his head on the bed after making sure that Yang Zi's temperature was stable. Two hours later, Yang Zi's frantic movement and mumbling woke Yifeng up from his sleep. He panicked when he saw her sweating profusely.

"Yang Zi, what is wrong? Are you alright?" Yifeng asked, sitting down on the bed. He quickly touched her forehead to see whether she was still running a fever. He was surprised to see her covered in sweat when she was not running a fever.

"Please... Please don't leave me. I... I will kill myself if you dare die on me, so please let's both live, hmmm," Yang Zi continually chanted in her sleep, tears flowing from her closed eyes.

"I am right beside you so don't cry anymore. I will never leave, hmmm," Yifeng coaxed as he wiped her eyes. It took Yifeng a long time before he could coax her back to sleep. All the while she was saying these words she did not wake up from her sleep.

"I can see that we are very much alike. We both have stuff we cannot share with others. Our pains run too deep to the point that it has become a part of us. We cannot escape from our pains no matter how hard we try. We are both helpless. The hands of destiny have dealt cruelly with us," Yifeng uttered, wiping the sweats off her body.

"For months now, I didn't understand why you always had a fake facade on, but not anymore. You only did that so you won't look strange in the eyes of others. You were afraid that no one would truly understand if you were yourself. I really want to know what traumatized you to this extent so that I can help you overcome it," Yifeng said, parting the strand of hairs which attempted to cover her face. Yifeng continued taking care of her until he fell asleep beside her, but this time he laid down on the bed with her. They were sleeping so peacefully until the ringing tone of a phone woke Yang Zi up. Yang Zi slowly reached her weak hands for her phone lying down on her bedside table. She was so careful so she won't wake the sleeping Yifeng up. She instantly picked the call when she saw that it was her mum who called.

"What!" Yang Zi shouted trying to get up from the bed, but she found out she was too weak to stand up straight. "Mum, you don't have to sound so worried. I am sure Mi Er will be fine. Wait for me, I will arrive at the hospital before the day breaks fully," Yang Zi said still attempting to stand up on her feet.

"Zi Er, you don't have to. Wait until the time for your departure, which was supposed to be in the afternoon," Mrs Yang suggested, watching as the doctors attended to the sick Yang Mi.

"Mum, how can I spend another minute here when I know you need someone to accompany you there?" Yang Zi asked. Her expression was that of worry and frustrations. She was frustrated because she was too weak to walk.

"Stop being stubborn and listen to me Zi Er. From your tone I know that you have still not gotten over your sickness from the earlier downpour so stay over there and take care of yourself, hmmm," Mrs Yang said sternly. She knew just how stubborn her daughter was. She needed to be stern with her to make Yang Zi listen to her.

"Mum, you know you won't be able to make me change my mind but don't worry I will take care of myself. Be expecting me back soon," Yang Zi said, not giving her mum the opportunity to reply. She knew they would keep on arguing if she let her speak. After several attempts, Yang Zi was able to walk but unfortunately, she fell down with a terrific thud causing Yifeng to wake up. Yifeng ran to her side when he saw her on the floor.

"Hey, why did you get up from the bed? If you needed something you should have woken me up. Don't you know how weak you are in your current state?" Yifeng asked, helping her to the couch.

"I am sorry for waking you up, I didn't mean to. It's just that I need to rush back home," Yang Zi said softly, looking worried.

"You need to go back home in your current state?" Yifeng asked in surprise. "Do you even know what the time is right now? It's 3:30 am for crying out loud, so what do you want to go home for?" Yifeng asked.

"Mi Er was just rushed to the emergency ward so I have to return right now no matter what," Yang Zi relayed sadly. Yifeng quiet down when he heard the reason she wanted to go back home.

"What are you going to do now? I bet the driver of the buses is asleep, so how are you going to go back now?" Yifeng asked soberly, squatting in front of her. Yang Zi's expression fell when she heard his words. She was eager to go back home, she didn't even think about how she would go about it.

"If you don't mind driving in the same car with me, I can drive you back," Yifeng broke the silence. Yang Zi's eyes widened in surprise when she heard his suggestion. His reply left her speechless. Who in his right mind would volunteer for such an outrageous three hours' journey in the middle of the night? Yang Zi just stared at him, unable to speak.

"You don't want to go home anymore because it is me, right? If that is the case, you don't have to force yourself. I will wake Su Jin up. He will take you back home using my car," Yifeng said standing up. His expression was masked with disappointment. He walked towards the door, but Yang Zi's calm and sweet honey-like voice stopped him in his tracks.

"Thank you...," Yang Zi trailed, staring at his departing back.
