Chapter 342 - Are You Still Mad At Me?
"I guess she is being overly cautious because she doesn't want any mistake tomorrow. She is nervous because it has been a long time she did this so, I guess it is natural for her to act this way," Feng Shu said, staring at the beautiful lady working in front of the screen.
"I don't care whether she gets furious with me. All I know is that mum must eat something before she goes to bed since I am very sure she will not even have a bite of any food tomorrow, " the girl said, as she stood up and approached the busy lady.
"Mum, dinner is set. Let's go and eat," the little girl said meekly.
"Mi Er, I am not really hungry so you and Feng Shu can eat without me...,"
"But I really want you to eat with me mum. You are the only person I have in this vast universe I can't bear to see you collapse because of starvation," Mi Er coaxed, as she hugged the lady tightly.
"Zi Er, she is really worried about you, so just do like she wants," Feng Shu supported Yang Mi. Seeing that the two ladies had taken sides, Yang Zi reluctantly postponed her work and joined them.
They ate to their fill. Yang Zi later resumed her work after she showered and changed into her pyjamas. She only went to lie down beside Yang Mi on the huge bed when it was only three hours to daybreak.
That morning Yang Zi who went to bed last was the first one to wake up. Without freshening up, she sat down and continued with her previous work. Feng Shu and Yang Mi woke up three hours later to meet Yang Zi so immersed in her work. They had witnessed this scene way too often to get surprised by it.
After showering and dressing up, Yang Mi had to force Yang Zi to abandon her work before she left the laptop and went to freshen up. They ate their breakfast immediately after Yang Zi finished dressing up.
"Mum, all you have done is work yourself to the bones for the past three months, so can we go out for some fresh air?" Yang Mi sitting on the hand of the couch beside Yang Zi asked mellowly.
"If you don't want to go to the park since it is crowded, we can go to the restaurant, boutique or mall, what do you think?" Yang Mi asked as she stared at Yang Zi's face. Yang Zi paused with what she was doing and raised her gaze and stared at Yang Mi.
"Mi Er, I know that I have been neglecting you a lot for the past two years. Be it the six months I used in mourning mum or the one year three months that I spent working in the cafe. I know, I haven't been a great sister or mum but you know that I am doing all this to make sure you don't lack anything, right? I want to be able to give you whatever you want hmm," Yang Zi said, as she carried Yang Mi and place her on her lap.
"I know you are doing this for me but honestly I don't need all these things. Our family is already filthy rich so, you don't have to work yourself to the core. Without all this money, as long as I am with my mum I am happy," Yang Mi said, as she turned and placed her right hand on Yang Zi's cheeks.
"All I need is my beautiful mum who loves me to no end so, can't you at least give me this one thing hmm?" The now matured Yang Mi asked. For the past two years, she had studied twice more than her mates. She learned to speak and handle things like an adult. She had forced herself to mature quickly because she desperately wanted to support her mum. She wanted to make her happy every day. Although she wasn't able to achieve making her mum happy every day, she eased some of her burdens by being so matured at her age.
"Mi Er, stop being naughty, you know that I can't do that," Yang Zi scolded sternly.
"Mum doesn't love me again," Yang Mi said before she went quiet. The frown on her face was evident that she was angry with Yang Zi.
Hearing Yang Zi's words, Yang Zi stared at Yang Mi who was avoiding staring at her. She knew that appeasing the girl was not going to be easy.
"Mi Er, until the event is over today, we can't let the public know that we are back so I can't let you go out but I promise to find a suitable day to take you out after the successful conclusion of the launch, what do you say?" Yang Zi asked as she stared at Yang Mi's face to see whether her expression would brighten up.
"Are you still mad at me?" Yang Zi asked when Yang Mi did not spare her a glance or utter a word.
"I am not," Yang Mi said not smiling.
"You said you are not angry but your expression and tone say that...,"
"I am not mad at you. Besides how could I ever get mad at my one and only mum?" Yang Mi asked as she forced on a smile.
"That is great!" Yang Zi exclaimed, not smiling.
"Mi Er, can you go play with Feng Shu? The party is in three hours, I need to conclude it so I can get ready on time," Yang Zi said. Yang Mi reluctantly stood up from her lap and went to sit beside Feng Shu on the couch.

In Best Enterprises office, a guy wearing a black and white pattern suit sat in an executive chair staring down at the guy sitting on a couch at the centre of the room. They were both discussing business when the guy wearing a brown suit deviated from the topic of discussion.
"Feng, are you not really going to the launch of M's new design collection called SPARKLE?" Jin asked, seriously.
