Fallen In Love: The Ceo Who Tamed Me

Chapter 226 - Do You Admire Me?

"As a compensation for helping you, you are not allowed to love anyone else but me after you get over your feelings for Zi Er," Wen Min said sternly, to the disbelief of Shiyi who thought she would ask for material things.

"What!" Shiyi exclaimed in shock.

"Don't tell me you are unwilling to give me your love as a compensation?" Wen Min asked, sounding displeased.

"It's not that I am unwilling. It's just that even though I really let go of my feelings for Zi Er someday, there is a huge possibility that you might not be the one I will fall in love with it. We can't teach our heart whom to love, you know that right," Shiyi who did not want to make a promise he could not keep asked, waiting anxiously for her reply.

"If you cannot compensate me in this lifetime, then promise me I will be the only woman you will love in our next life," Wen Min said, faking a smile at him. She loved Shiyi's honest answer.

"Are you sure you are ok with this? I can compensate you with other...,"

"I am fine. If you don't fall in love with me after you forget Zi Er then, it means we were never destined to be together in this lifetime so I am fine with you being my sole lover in our next lives," Wen Min interrupted him abruptly.

"Do you know why I admire you so much?" Shiyi spoke up after a few seconds of silence.

"Do you admire me? I didn't know," Wen Min replied, looking so surprised to hear such words from him.

"I admire you so much because you are the opposite of myself. You fight for what you want without fears. You speak how you feel without thinking too much about the consequences. I admire you so much because of these traits. You are just like a lady, I know. She stands for what she wants and believes in without an ounce of fear," Shiyi said, smiling at her.

"You are referring to Zi Er, right?" Wen Min asked the obvious question.

"I am sorry that I am comparing you to her, but I can't help but think that you both look alike in some ways...,"

"You don't have to apologise, I understand the point you are trying to make. I also liked Zi Er during our first encounter because I thought we had so many things in common. My opinion about her still hasn't changed until now. Zi Er has a mind of her own. She isn't afraid of anyone or anything. She faces challenges with shoulders high. Zi Er doesn't let haters opinion get to her. It is rare for a guy not to like her at first glance. She is a rare gem, even I would have fallen madly in love with her if I was a man," Wen Min concluded with smiles on.

In the office she has so many colleagues, but Yang Zi was her role model. She liked and adored her so much, that is why she did not want to do anything that would trigger jealousy and hatred towards her.

"You are damn right about her. I fell in love with her back then, because of those traits you just mentioned. There is something you fail to mention about her," Shiyi said, beaming. Just the mere mention of Yang Zi's name excited him. He couldn't stop smiling as he talked.

"And what is that?" Wen Min asked, staring at his glittering eyes with interest.

"The fact that Zi Er can go to any length for the people she loves. It doesn't matter who the person is, she will fight for such a person even at the risk of her own life," Shiyi praised, grinning when he recalled how he met Yang Zi in high school.

The day he first met Yang Zi, he was beaten up by a group of five bullies. Yang Zi who happened to pass by at that time without thinking twice about the consequences of her actions interfered into the fight.

While confronting them, one of the boy hit her hard on the face but despite all this she still continued protecting him from them. Because of her constant screams, the five boys took to their heels, leaving them alone. Although she was in pain, she still helped him to the infirmary. Though the boys ran away, they did not go scot free. For the slap they gave her, they paid dearly for it. Since that incident, he began admiring Yang Zi from afar.

"Zi Er is so blessed having so many people who love her deeply. Not only you but Shui Shui, Xiaofei, Feng, Jin and Yuan Quan all love her dearly," Wen Min said. 

"It's not only Zi Er who is blessed, but also you. A lot of people love you so much, maybe you just fail to recognise that. I also love you too, but as a good friend," Shiyi said meekly. He did not know just how much his last words pierce her delicate heart.

"Yeah, you sure love me," Wen Min said, forcing a smile on. She loved him more than she thought she did. She came to realise this when she stayed away from him for those two months. It hurt her to hear him talk about another woman in such loving manner, but she knew there was nothing she could do about it. The faster she came to terms with that, the better it will be for her.

Wen Min took a quick peep at her wristwatch to check time. Her eyes widened in shock when she realised that she had exhausted her lunch time.

"Shiyi, unfortunately, I have to leave now. It's way pass lunch time already. Maybe we will meet up later in our usual bar to talk more," Wen Min said, grabbing her handbag.

"Hey, what about food? You haven't ordered yet!" Shiyi blurted, preventing her from leaving by holding her left wrist.
