Fallen In Love: The Ceo Who Tamed Me

Chapter 124 - An Outfit For A Special Occasion



"Where could she be?" Yang Zi muttered, running her fingers through her wet hair. Everyone in the Mansion was still asleep, so she did not want to sound the emergency alarm. She searched the entire third floor, but she did not notice any sign of Yang Mi. She came back to her room after her futile search. It was when she sat down on the couch with her head on her lap that she heard the creaking sound of a door opening. In a flash, she quickly took her stance at the side of her dressing room door, ready to attack the intruder.

When she was about to attack, she saw that it was Yang Mi who came out of her dressing room with a red gown and a white high heels in her hand. Yang Mi's action shocked her.

​​

"Baby, what are you doing so up early? And why did you leave the bed without telling me? You scare the hell out of me!" Yang Zi exclaimed, bending down to hug her. A moment ago she was so scared that her baby sister might have been adopted.

"I have always wanted to select an outfit for mum but I never got the chance to do it, so I took it upon myself to select an outfit for you today," Yang Mi said showing her the dress and shoes. "Do you like it?"

"I love it, but why did you choose a red dress out of the various colours of clothes I have?" Yang Zi asked, staring at Yang Mi curiously.

"Today is Valentine's Day, so it is only right for you to wear a red outfit and a beautiful one like the one I have picked to be exact," Yang Mi said smiling. It was when Yang Mi mentioned that today was Valentine's Day that Yag Zi realised that it was actually Valentine's Day. Since she didn't have a boyfriend to celebrate it with she didn't always keep track of Valentine's Day.

"Oh, I see...," Yang Zi trailed absentmindedly.

"What is wrong?" Yang Mi asked, touching her face.

"Today is Valentine's Day but I don't have a boyfriend to celebrate it with so you didn't have to choose the red outfit," Yang Zi said, caressing her face.

"You never know mum. Your Val might be waiting for you at the office so dress up nicely in case he wants to take you out on a date," Yang Mi said winking at her mischievously. Yang Zi smiled sheepishly, knowing where she was heading at.

"I am sorry to disappoint you but that won't be happening. I and your brother Feng are not on good terms anymore," Yang Zi replied, lifting Yang Mi up. She walked to her bedside and placed her on the bed.

"My teacher always told us that life is full of surprises so don't be too certain mum. Anything can happen at the last minute so do me a favour and wear the outfit I chose for you, hmm," Yang Mi said cupping her face adorably. "Do this if you love me, please...," Yang Mi further pleased when she saw that Yang Zi was still reluctant about wearing the dress.

"Ok, ok, I will wear the dress because I love my Mi Er very much and thank you for choosing this spectacular dress for me. I love it," Yang Zi said, pecking her on the cheek.

"Achieved," Yang Mi exclaimed in excitement.

"Let's put you back to sleep. It's still too early for you to be awake," Yang Zi said, making her lie down. She covered her little figure with the blankets and sang her a lullaby to lure her to sleep. Until Yang Zi dressed up ready to leave for work Yang Mi did not wake up. Yang Zi peck on her forehead before she headed downstairs. When she got downstairs, her mum was waiting for her in the sitting room. She left for work without eating breakfast as she normally did.

When she got to the office, she exchanged pleasantries with her colleagues before she headed for the elevator. She waited for the elevator to close. Just when the elevator wanted to fully close, someone presses the open button, and the elevator opened once again. She smiled when she saw who it was.

"Good morning Miss Yang, you look breathtakingly beautiful as always," the guy complimented beaming at her. He stared at her beautiful face, her black long hair that cascaded down her back. Her red fitted off-shoulder dress looked charming. It looked like the designer made the dress specifically for her.

"And so are you. I almost didn't recognise you. You look even more handsome after the last time we met," Yang Zi joked, smiling at him too.

"Since it is you that said so then I will believe you," The guy replied, unable to stop himself from smiling. "I heard all that happened while I was away. I am sorry for your loss," he replied, his smiling face turning to a sad one. "For my loss?" Yang Zi thought confused by his last sentence. She didn't grasp what the guy said by he is sorry for her loss.

"Oh, silly you! How you could forget this so soon. He is referring to your deceased so-called boyfriend and father," Yang Zi thought. She felt like hitting her head with her hands for being so forgetful.

"Thank you. I appreciate it," Yang Zi said, immediately faking a sad look. She silently prayed for the elevator to reach her designated floor before the guy would ask her another question. She was through pretending she didn't want to ever go through that act ever again. 

Her prayers were answered. She stepped out of the elevator in a flash when it opened on her designated floor.

"See you later," Yang Zi said, walking away elegantly. Before she got to her office so many people complimented her outfit and look. Some jokingly asked her whether she had a date later that day, but they didn't receive any reply from her. Yang Zi was not surprised to see that Yifeng had already arrived when she reached their office. She took a peep at him for a few seconds before she sat down on her desk. Yuan Quan just watched her stare at their boss without uttering a word. This has been her habits for over a month now since their boss' attitude changed towards them.

So many thoughts were on her mind, she didn't even hear when Yuan Quan greeted her. She glanced at Yifeng through the glass wall yet again, this time around their eyes met, but Yifeng quickly glanced elsewhere.

"What the hell did I do that is making him treat me like this? If somebody knows what the problem is please tell me," Yang Zi thought dejectedly as she turned to face her desk. Yang Zi could not help but think his early arrival to work had something to do with him not wanting to talk to her.

Today, Yifeng did not have many appointments. He only had five appointments. Two in the morning and the rest in the afternoon and evening. Yuan Quan accompanied him on all the appointments while Yang Zi stayed behind, which was never supposed to be so. Gloomy Yang Zi just sat on her desk thinking about her life. She was still in deep thoughts when her phone suddenly rang, startling her.

"Hello, Miss Yang, I am so sorry for disturbing you, knowing very well how busy you must be," a cool boy's voice spoke at the other end.

"It's Ok, besides I wasn't busy like you said so you don't have to apologise," Yang Zi replied, her voice calm and clear.

"That is a relief," Li Chen said, breathing normally once again.

"How are you? I haven't heard from you for a while now and your buddy has been longing to see you," Yang Zi said playfully. No matter how gloomy she was, she still forced herself to joke.

"I am fine. What about you? I hope my mean brother is not making things difficult for you over there?" Li Chen asked jokingly. "And please tell Mi Er that I have been longing to see her too."

"I am doing fabulously well and your brother has been very good to me so you don't have to worry. I will relay your message to her," Yang Zi replied. "Miss Yang is lying to me. I would have really believed what she said if I didn't have my eyes and ears in the office," Li Chen thought, forgetting that Yang Zi was waiting for him to speak.

"Chen, I know you didn't just call to check up on me, is everything alright?" Yang Zi asked, concerned.

"Oh, about that...," Li Chen trailed, trying to make Yang Zi curious.

"Something is bothering you, right? We are no longer strangers, so you can tell me what is disturbing you. Who knows, I might help you if it's within my capacity," Yang Zi coaxed, trying to make Li Chen trust her.

"Miss Yang, you are right, everything is not Ok with me. I need help, but I am afraid to tell my brother about it. You know how strict he is with me, I will not go scot-free if he learns about what happened and I didn't want to disturb my old Grandpa about it. You are the only one I could think of that can help me out without my brother finding out," Li Chen said sadly. His voice was filled with pain as he spoke.
