Chapter 212 - Quarreling Over Who Will Pay The Bills
"Hey little man, don't jinx my and Zi Er's relationship with your words because Zi Er isn't going anywhere," Yifeng said confidently as he wrapped his hands around Yang Zi's waist.
Yang Zi just quietly watched them talk about her in her presence without uttering a word.
??"Make hare while the sun shines, if you don't want that to happen," Chen concluded in a cool manner.
Since the day he set his eyes on Yang Zi, something inside of him already liked her. He wanted her so much for his elder brother, but too bad, she had loathed him. Now that it is confirmed that they are both in love with each other, he wanted her to be his big bro's wife.
After Chen's conclusion, they all stood quietly staring at each other.
"Guess what guys!" Yang Zi broke the silence excitedly.
"What?" inquisitively Mi Er asked anxiously, her eyes filled with so much hope.
"We are going for shopping afterwards!" Yang Zi relayed the news to the children.
"What? We are going for shopping? This is wow!" Yang Mi exclaimed, jumping up in excitement.
"It has been so long since someone last accompanied me for shopping," Chen said, throwing an accusing gaze at his elder brother. "This sounds fun, I can't wait," Chen added happily.
"Miss Yang....,"
"It's Yang Zi not Miss Yang," Yang Zi quickly corrected.
"Ok Miss...,"
"I said call me Yang Zi! I will get so mad at you if you keep on calling me Miss Yang as though we are strangers," Yang Zi corrected sternly.
"Mister, just do what mum wants. Mum can be very scary when she gets angry so don't wish to ever see her angry side," Yang Mi spoke up innocently.
"Thanks for the advice, Mi Er. I will listen to you," Yuan Quan said, forcing on a smile.
"Yang Zi, I thought that maybe we should go pay our bills. We might be inconveniencing other customers since we are standing in the way," observant Yuan Quan said.
They all turned to look around. They shake their heads affirmatively when they observed that what Yuan Quan said was true.
"Yuan Quan is right, let's go pay our bills," Yang Zi said, collecting the trolley from Yang Mi.
"Let me help you with it, Yang Zi," Yuan Quan offered to help.
"Yuan Quan, we didn't being you here as our servant, you don't have to help me with this," Yang Zi politely rejected his offer.
"I know that, but I still insist you let me help you with it," Yuan Quan said vehemently.
"You are such a gentleman," Yang Zi complimented, handing him the trolley.
"He is no gentleman, he is just trying to receive praises from you," Yifeng said, under his breath. Only Yuan Quan and Yang Zi could hear what he said.
"Don't be mean," Yang Zi scolded, nudging his ribs.
"You know what I am saying is the truth. It's so obvious that he likes...," Yang Zi covered his mouth with her hand before he could complete his sentence.
"The kids are listening and you will hurt Yuan Quan's feelings," Yang Zi admonished him.
"So you knew all this while that he likes you? Why did you always pretend as though you didn't know?" Yifeng asked inaudibly.
"I have always considered him as a good friend. I never knew that he was in love with me until Wen Min hinted me about it. At first I felt terrible about it, but now I am cool with it," Yang Zi whispered back.
When Wen Min revealed Yuan Quan's feelings to her, she felt so terrible that she has been oblivious of his feelings for such a long time. When Yifeng was so mean to her at her first few months in the company, he was the one who helped and supported her. She is fond of him, but too bad she can't reciprocate his feelings.
"You don't have to tell me. I know just how dense you are with matter of the heart. It's not your fault you didn't realise his feelings on time," Yifeng coaxed, wrapping his right hand around her waist.
"There was a time I even thought of firing him because I thought his feelings will get in between his work. I was also jealous of the fact that he was closer to you than I am," Yifeng said, honestly as they all headed towards the counter.
"Yuan Quan is diligent, I am glad that you didn't sack him. And I love that you are being honest...,"
"Mum, what are you waiting for? We are here already," Yang Mi announced, when she realised that her mum was oblivious of the fact that they were in front of the counter.
"Baby, I am the one paying for the foodstuffs, not mum," Yifeng said, handing his black premium card to the lady at the counter before Yang Zi could object.
"I thought we discussed this. You agreed that I will pay for all our expenses here, so why did you go back on your words?" Yang Zi said, glaring at him fiercely.
"Did we discuss this? I don't recall," Yifeng quickly looked away, feigning ignorance of all that Yang Zi just said.
"Mum, what is wrong? Are you and Brother Feng fighting?" Yang Mi asked curiously when they got to the car.
"Let your Brother Feng answer the question," Yang Zi said, instantly entering the car. Yang Mi turned to face Yifeng for answers.
"Mi Er, how about you and Chen go with Yuan Quan? Mum and I have something private to discuss. I believe she will not stay mad at me anymore after we finish talking," Yifeng looked at the two kids anxiously for answers.
"How about we all go in the same car? I promise Chen Chen and I will not disturb you and mum," Yang Mi said ignorantly. Yifeng shifted his attention on Chen when he realised that Yang Mi did not understand what he meant.
"I and Mi Er will go with brother Quan so you and Sister Zi Er can go together," Chen finally spoke up, seeing how desperate his elder brother was. He understood why they were fighting.
"But...,"
"Mi Er, let's not disturb them, Ok? Let's just go with brother Quan," Chen said, trying to drag Mi Er along with him but Mi Er refused to budge.
"Haven't you always wanted brother Feng and Sister Zi Er to get married? For your dream to come true, they have to spend quality time together or don't you want your dream to become reality?" Chen asked curiously.
"I do," Yang Mi replied vehemently.
"Mum, we will meet in the mall. Take good care of yourself till then. Don't allow brother Feng to bully you, Ok? And also don't forget you hate losing," Yang Mi waved at Yang Zi, before she held Chen's hand and they both walked away.
Yifeng quickly parked his car in a safe place after they had covered a significant distance from the supermarket.
"Beauty, are you still mad at me?" Yifeng asked, staring at her face.
"I am sorry, Ok? I know I agreed to let you pay for all our expenses in the supermarket, but I felt terrible after thinking twice about my decision. I am earning more than you do, so I thought it was only right that the one earning more should pay for the goods...,"
"Who said you are earning more than I do? And even though I earn lower than you, what is wrong with me wanting to spend my money on my man? What is the joy in always making you pay for our bills whenever we go out when I also earn bucks," Yang Zi said unhappily? She can recount the number of times Yifeng tricked her to pay for their expenses whenever they went out on dates.
"I know you earn a lot from the company, but you have a mum and a daughter to cater for. I love taking care of you and I will love it if you will let me shoulder some responsibilities for you," Yifeng said soberly.
"Just as you feel a sense of satisfaction whenever you prepare our meals, I also feel happy and fulfilled, whenever I spend my money on you. I just wish you will not deny me this joy," Yifeng said, holding her hands.
"What is the joy of me letting you always shoulder all the responsibilities when I can also do the same? I want to take care of you and your family. I want to spend the tons of money I earn, on you and your family. I know you are filthy rich but I just wish you will let me do this, hmm," Yang Zi said, staring into his eyes affectionately.
She is world best designer, M. She earned enough to spend as crazy as she wanted. All the bucks she earns for the past five years are rotting away in her account. She was looking for ways to do away with them. Her greatest wish was that she wanted to spend it on the man she loves.
"But...,"
