I will break his legs!

At the Imperial Jewels, the voices of two women filled in the CEO's office. While Li Jin was anxiously waiting for Yang Zi's response, Yang Zi was having a fun time with her best friend, Lu Mian inside. She has totally forgotten about him, this time.

"Wow, your office is so wide." Lu Mian happily roamed around her office.

"And the things here are all expensive. Wow, Xiao Zi, your family is really loaded!"

Yang Zi just shook her head, looking at her best friend's silly behavior.

She laughed lightly and said, "Sit down. I am getting dizzy from you."

Lu Mian immediately sat down on the sofa beside Yang Zi. "So, I am still curious about our conversation last night. You cut off the call after I have spoken." She complained. After saying that Yang Zi's friend was jealous, Yang Zi ended the call immediately.

Yang Zi looked at her best friend guiltily and said, "I'm sorry. My phone's battery died. I was too lazy to charge it, and I was so tired."

Lu Mian looked at her best friend's face and said, "But Xiao Zi, who is that friend of yours? As far as I can remember, I know all your limited friends?" She emphasized the word limited because the truth is, Yang Zi has a limited social circle of friends. She can't even tell that all of them are her friends.

Yang Zi felt nervous. "W-well, Uhm, it was my assistant. Yes, my assistant." She stammered.

Lu Mian watched her suspiciously. "No. You are lying. Tell me. Were you talking about yourself last night?"

"What? No. Of course not. That's ridiculous." Yang Zi immediately denied it.

"It was my assistant, I swear." She added.

"Come on, Yang Zi. Stop lying. I have known you for more than a decade. Every time you lie, you will play with your nails secretly. Don't you think I would not notice that?"

Yang Zi was stunned and avoided her best friend's gaze. She can't imagine how Lu Mian would react if she discovered she is married now.

Looking at Yang Zi's guilty behavior, she even probed more. "Are you hiding something from me, Yang Zi?"

"Well, of course not." Yang Zi said as she calmed herself down.

"Are you sure? If I am going to discover that you are hiding something from me, I will no longer be your best friend." Lu Mian said seriously.

Yang Zi panicked and said, "I-I. Don't Mian. You can't do that." She looked at Lu Mian pitifully.

"So, are you going to tell me or not?" Lu Mian crossed her arms across her chest.

"I'll tell you. I will." Yang Zi said in a hurried tone.

"I'm all ears." Lu Mian answered.

Yang Zi closed her eyes and breathed deeply.

'This is it.' She braced herself and let out a sigh. She opened her eyes and looked at Lu Mian.

"Mian, don't be shocked, okay?" She said softly.

Lu Mian just nodded in response.

"I am married." Yang Zi said.

Silence.

For 2 straight minutes, none of them spoke. Lu Mian just stared at Yang Zi's face emotionlessly. Yang Zi felt so nervous right now.

"Mian?" Yang Zi called her out swiftly.

Suddenly, Lu Mian finally broke her silence. "Did I hear it wrongly?"

Yang Zi just shook her head in response.

"Yang Zi, have you lost your mind? You married who? That fast? Are you really that desperate?" Lu Mian said anxiously.

"Tell me, what is the name of that b*stard and I will kick his b*lls." Lu Mian added.

"Li Jin." Yang Zi told Lu Mian.

"Li Jin? I have never heard of that name before. Did you just marry a total stranger, Yang Zi? Do Uncle and Auntie know about this? How about your brother?" Lu Mian interrogated her.

Yang Zi gently shook her head and said, "Mian, calm down, okay?"

"How can I calm down, Xiao Zi? How can you possibly marry a stranger in a short span of time? What if you were scammed? What if he just wants your money?" Lu Mian rattled.

"No. He's more loaded than me." Yang Zi said. Of course, Li Jin is richer than her family. He can't possibly marry her for money when has tons of it.

"How can you be so certain about that?" Lu Mian asked her.

"Because he owns a big company." Yang Zi replied.

Lu Mian looked at her best friend and she widened her eyes in shock. "Did you marry an old man, Yang Zi?"

What?! Yang Zi was bewildered at her best friend's way of thinking.

"What are you talking about? Of course not!" Yang Zi exclaimed.

"Then who is the person you married to?" Lu Mian asked again.

"I told you his name is Li Jin." Yang Zi said. She's going to let her best friend discover Li Jin's true identity. Let's see who's going to kick who's b*lls.

Suddenly, Yang Zi seemed to remember something important. She ignored her fuming best friend and picked her phone up. She snapped her head, realizing she forgot to recharge her phone this morning. She hurriedly charged her phone and waited for it to open.

Lu Mian looked at her best friend's unusual action, she couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"

"I forgot to charge my phone, since last night." Yang Zi replied without looking back at Lu Mian.

"Why? Are you worried that he gets angry that you did not text him? That kind of man is not worthy to be your husband. Can't he see that you are busy managing the company?" Lu Mian complained.

"It's not what you think. I am just worried that my brother can't get through if he is going to call me." Yang Zi said as an excuse. Well, it is actually considered a valid excuse but she has a bad feeling right now about Li Jin. She forgot to text him last night that he got home.

The phone finally opened and tons of notifications came in. Looking at the sender's name, it was all from Li Jin. She thoroughly checked all the content of each message and she couldn't help but laugh lightly.

Li Jin: Xiao Zi, are you ignoring me?

Li Jin: Why can't I contact you?

Li Jin: Are you avoiding me, Yang Zi?

Li Jin: Did I do something wrong that made you upset, wifey?

Li Jin: Yang Zi.

"Why are you laughing there?" Lu Mian asked curiously as she walked towards her and peeked at Yang Zi's phone.

"Is that your so-called husband? He sounded weird." Lu Mian commented. Yang Zi also thought Li Jin was a bit weird.

"I want to meet him." Lu Mian suddenly said.

Yang Zi was surprised then she turned around to look at her best friend. "Are you sure?" She might faint once she meets Li Jin.

Lu Mian nodded and said, "I am very sure. Hundred percent."

"Alright. I will set a date and time for that." Yang Zi replied.

"No. I want it now. Or else, I won't be at peace for the following days if I am not going to meet that "capable" husband of yours. If I am not satisfied with him, I am going to break his legs." Lu Mian said as she sat on the sofa and crossed her legs. It seems like she has already made up her mind.

With no choice left, she dialed Li Jin's number to see if they could meet right now.

After a couple of ringing, someone finally picked up the phone.

"Xiao Zi, where have you been? I was so worried about you." Li Jin said worriedly on the other line.

"I am really sorry about that. My phone got a low bat. I will explain things further next time. For now, I want to ask you if you have free time today?" Yang Zi asked.

"Why? Do you want to see me?" Li Jin asked immediately.

"Yes. My best friend wanted to see you, actually." Yang Zi said slowly.

"I see. I thought you wanted to see me." Li Jin said in a disheartened tone. Yang Zi's mouth twitched.

"I'll make it up to you next time, okay? Are you free or not?" Yang Zi asked him again.

"I'm free. Do you want me to go there right now?" Li Jin asked.

Yang Zi immediately shook her head and said, "How about we go there in your office? Your presence might disrupt my employees here." She can't possibly clear out the whole company so that no one can see Li Jin.

"Alright. I'll send Assistant Leng to wait for you in the basement." Li Jin said.

"Okay, great. We'll be there soon." Yang Zi said and she ended the call.

Yang Zi and Lu Mian immediately headed towards the Li Empire. Lu Mian recognized the building so she thought Yang Zi's husband is an employee there.

"That's right, he works here." Yang Zi confirmed her thoughts.

"No matter what, we need to see what kind of person he is." Lu Mian said.

They arrived at the basement and Assistant Leng immediately opened the door for them.

Lu Mian was shocked when she noticed that the man looked so professional, but she did not recognize him. Yang Zi's husband might be an important person in the company. Could it be the director?

"You Madam, welcome. Please follow me. The President has already ordered me to clear out the whole top floor." Assistant Leng said.

"Thank you, Assistant Leng." Yang Zi thanked him sincerely and the trio walked towards the elevator.

Lu Mian noticed that they were heading to the top floor. Could it be...

'Ding' The elevator opened as they arrived.

"Let's go, Mian. He is already waiting for us." Yang Zi said.

Lu Mian followed Yang Zi and felt uneasy inside. Assistant Leng opened the door for them and Lu Mian wanted to run away.

"Xiao Zi, I think I will die today." Lu Mian said nervously.
