Setting Rules
"It's OK if you say so, but just calm down, alright?" Yifeng mentioned this just to calm her down a bit. Yang Zi walked away, but before she entered her bedroom, Yifeng's words stopped her in her track.
"Miss Yang, do you have anything in your fridge that is edible? I'm starving, I didn't have an appetite to eat my lunch and breakfast, both at work since you were absent and I am sure you must have guessed by now why I didn't have my dinner. I lost a lot of blood last night so I need to eat something or else I might collapse and become a burden to you once again," Yifeng said solemnly. Yang Zi stood rooted to the floor when she heard his words. It shocked her that the almighty CEO Li could be so polite.
"Oh, my gosh! Why didn't you say so before I gave you the medicine last night? What would I have done if something bad had happened to you at night while I was not around? I didn't know that you did not eat the whole day or else I wouldn't have given you the medication if I knew that you hadn't had your dinner," Yang Zi replied as her angry expression instantly turned to a worried one.
"That is because you were too angry to even remember to ask me such a trivial question", Yifeng said slowly as he rested his back on the couch he was sitting. The way he acted as though he was in so much pain made Yang Zi wonder whether he was actually in pain or he was just faking it.
"Wait here for some minutes, I will prepare something for the both of us real quick, but before I do, do you have any allergy or is there any food you are sensitive to?", Yang Zi asked curiously.
"Although I am picky about people, I am not picky towards food and I don't have any allergy," Yifeng said with his eyes closed.
Yang Zi quickly got to work after confirming that Yifeng was not allergic to anything. Her apartment was enormous, so the kitchen was separated from the sitting room, but someone sitting facing the kitchen could see everything going on there, if the kitchen door was open. Preparing their breakfast did not take much time since she was an outstanding cook. She could be mistaken for a professional chef because of her tasty dishes as she could cook anything once she set her mind to cook.
"Food is ready", Yang Zi mentioned after she finished setting the dining table. Yifeng, who was staring at her the whole time she was cooking, closed his eyes just when he saw her coming out of the kitchen. He stood up when she announced that the food was ready. He quietly took his seat without uttering a word. He knew that she had a short temper, and he was afraid that she might flare up again if he were to start a conversation.
The one thing he hated while eating was being nagged. They ate the food in silence. While eating Yifeng often sneaked a look at her secretly, unknown that she knew what he was doing but she purposely did not want to talk. She deliberately prepared fried rice. She knew that his body needed energy to recover, and that was the only dish she could think of that he would like. She also prepared four side dishes to go with fried rice and chicken.
"Stop staring at me and just speak if you have something to say", Yang Zi said, sounding harsh as she cleared the plates they used.
"I never knew that a rich Young Miss like you would know how to cook. The food was very delicious. I am just curious. Where did you learn to cook?" Yifeng questioned in anticipation.
"It's not where but from whom. I learned to cook from my mum and Nanny. And I think I should set rules here since I am the BOSS here," Yang Zi said as she crossed her legs while resting on the table.
"Rules? What rules?", Yifeng asked anxiously.
