Novel Bin Chapter 35 - Shiyi Advice To Yang Zi
Throughout the entire night, Yang Zi kept on monitoring the condition of Yifeng. She knew that the state he was in was not something that one could predict what would happen, and she did not want to take any risk. Yifeng dying in her apartment will put her in a precarious situation, so she was doing everything to make sure his condition would not result in his death.
Early the next morning, Shiyi\'s call woke her up from sleep. At first, she was planning to shout at the caller for daring to disturb her beauty sleep but she couldn\'t when she saw the caller ID. Shiyi, who could not go to their hideout the previous day as a result of him having to work on an important business project that his company was undergoing went there early that morning to do the task Yang Zi assigned to him.
The first thing he always did whenever he came to their hideout was checking the CCTV footage of the Mansion to see whether anyone trespassed when none of them were around but he was stunned to see that Yang Zi came to the house at around 2:00 am and left around 8:00 am. Meaning that she spent the night there. The Yang Zi he knew would never spend the night there when they were not around, so he guessed that something might have happened that made her sleep over there. He called to make sure she was alright.
One thing the three friends had in common was that they despised being lied to or deceived, so Yang Zi did not have any other choice but to disclose what happened at the night of the party to him. She knew that both of her friends would definitely find out even though she decided not to tell them anything, so she chose to tell him in order not to put their friendship in jeopardy.
Throughout the entire conversation, Shiyi was too dumbfounded to speak when he heard that Yang Zi helped the guy she hated so much. It didn\'t even end with helping him. She even spent the night with him. The information was too hard for him to digest, so he just hung up the call.
Shiyi knew Yang Zi so well to the point that he found it hard to believe that she would put herself at risk for someone she disliked. Yang Zi had trust issues, he and Shui Shui knew that very well, so he could not believe that Yang Zi trusted her Boss so much to the point that she slept in the same apartment with him. Although they had been best friends even before the tragedy that happened to Yang Zi\'s sister, she found it very hard to trust them after they met again in the university. It took him and Shui Shui two marvellous years to regain her trust again, but that wasn\'t the case for Li Yifeng because they barely knew each other for just three months and she already allowed him into her house. He knew very well that Shui Shui would have reacted the same way he did if she had been the one Yang Zi disclosed this to. After he was done thinking, he called her back. They talked for twenty minutes before Shiyi cautioned her.
"Zi Er, I am not saying that it was bad of you to help him but be very alert when you are around him. He is known for being smart and cunning, so be careful of what you say to him or he will become weary of you, especially now that he knows that you are not an easy lady. You are just one step away from carrying out your revenge, don\'t let him ruin everything you have worked so hard for years to achieve," Shiyi advised calmly over the phone.
"If he thinks he is smart, then Yang Zi is smarter than he is. He has been trying to get information from me but you know me right? I behaved as though I didn\'t know what he was talking about. I don\'t trust him even one bit and don\'t worry, I will kick him out of my house immediately I noticed that he is recovering well. As of now I would really love it if you and Shui Shui will accompany me at our hideout for the night. As you know, the vast Mansion is always lifeless and boring without my two troublemaker friends," Yang Zi said softly.
"I will ask Shui Shui about it but you can count me in. There is one project that my company is undergoing at the moment so I need all the help that I can get to quickly get over with it and I know that you are the perfect person to help me out so I will keep you company even though Shui Shui cannot make it tonight," Shiyi said excitedly.
"I know I can always count on my Shiyi," Yang Zi replied playfully.
"Did you just realised that your Shiyi is a very reliable guy?" Shiyi asked with humour. Yang Zi laughed her guts out when she heard Shiyi\'s remarks.
"I have always known that. Hey, I almost forgot to talk about the most important topic," Yang Zi said in realisation.
"And what\'s that important topic?" Shiyi asked, trying to sound serious.
"I saw the news yesterday. You are even more popular than most of the celebrities right now. You and Shui Shui were in the front cover of yesterday and today\'s magazine. You and Shui Shui\'s grand entry was also displayed on yesterday\'s news. Everyone is going wild on the internet wanting to know whether you and Shui Shui are a couple, so how are you both going to explain to everyone that you are just best friends and nothing else?" Yang Zi questioned teasingly.
"Girl, worry about yourself, Okay?" Shiyi added, smiling at the other side of the line. "Right now, everyone both nationally and worldwide wants to know who is the mysterious designer M after the award events so what are you going to do? Are you going to reveal yourself?" Shiyi asked teasingly, too.
"Not yet, what is the fun in it if I just reveal myself now? I want to play some more," Yang Zi insisted, smiling mischievously.
"What do you want to play? Is it the latest game our company has just released or what?" Yifeng, who just got out of her bedroom asked curiously, interrupting their conversation. Yang Zi quickly disconnected the call after promising Shiyi she would call him back later. It was then Yifeng realised that she was on the phone.
"The person you were just talking to, was it your boyfriend?" Yifeng asked curiously. After asking this question, he regretted ever doing so. He silently cursed himself for being so stupid to ask her such an obvious question.
