Chapter 340 - Two Years Of Yearning About To Come To An End
"If that is really what you want, then you need to quit this excessive smoking and drinking habit of yours. You have already suffered from alcohol poisoning a month ago, if you don't want to end up dying as a result of alcohol poisoning or cancer then quit these habits because these habits are not befitting for the CEO of a huge Company like the Best Enterprises," Su Jin said as he pulled him up from the couch.
"Go and shave, shower and freshen up. Your hair has grown longer, we will visit the hairdresser tomorrow so you have a new look," Su Jin said as he urged him to head upstairs.
Yifeng did like Su Jin wanted. Jin, afraid that Yifeng will forget his words overnight, slept over at Yifeng's mansion.
Meanwhile just as Yifeng was suffering, Yang Zi was going through triple of his pain. She had thought that it would be easy to move on after changing her location, but things didn't go as planned. Because of the severe pains, she was going through, she ended up suffering from depression. Those six months were hellish for her. Despite everything, Little Mi Er tried to be very understanding. She supported Yang Zi through these trying moments. Because of her, Yang Zi finally got the strength to move on.
For two years, everyone went about their own life pretending like nothing happened but the truth was that, no matter how hard they pretended they could never forget the incident that caused them to lose a friend like no other.
Li Chen, lying on his bed with the lights on took another look at the sketchbook book in his hand. Anytime he set eyes on this sketchbook, he always recalled the last time he and Yang Mi met in the restaurant. This sketchbook which contained all their happy memories was one of the four gifts that Yang Mi gave to him.
"Mi Er, this marks two years since you and Sister Zi Er mysteriously left. During these two years, Big bro has tried everything possible to find you guys but to no avail. Mi Er, where on earth are you and Sister Zi Er hiding? When are you both coming back?" Li Chen asked as he stared at the cover of the book which the title, "Mi Er's Gift To My Beloved Chen Chen," was boldly written on it.
"I have missed you so much. I miss your teases and bickering. Your Chen Chen has missed having his game partner. I have missed watching you play your violin. The recording of you playing the violin that you gave me as a gift is still with me. The tone you played still lingers in my head. Buddy, please come back soon," Li Chen said, as he hugged the sketchbook tightly to his chest.
In Yifeng's office, Yifeng who was working on his laptop closed the laptop after he has finished what he was doing. He raised his head and stared out of the glass wall. His expression turned sad when his eyes met Yang Zi's desk which was still intact after she had left. Following his orders, the desk was left just like Yang Zi had left it. The janitors made sure they cleaned the desk every day just like they cleaned every other desk in the office.
"Zi Er, it has been two long years since you left but your desk is still like you left it. I made sure nobody messed with your stuff. You will be very happy to meet your stuff intact, right?" Yifeng asked his eyes glued on the desk outside his office.
"Zi Er, do you know that Best Enterprises has opened new branches in four different countries within these two years. Do you know that this was only possible because of you? The thought of how proud you will be of me motivated me to do all this. I spent the time used in missing you productively so, you must be very proud of me right?" Yifeng asked. Although no one was there to give him answers, he still found comfort in talking to an invisible Yang Zi. Talking to her like this had given him so much strength within these two years so, he didn't mind whether he sounded crazy.
"Zi Er, although I try so hard to hide how much I miss you, the truth is I still miss you so terribly. I missed you every second and hour of the day. There is no day I don't miss you. I see your face everywhere I go. I have imagined meeting you again over a thousand times but during these two years, I didn't get a glimpse of your shadow not to mention seeing your face. Please Zi Er, come back to us soon. Everyone has missed you. Although Jin doesn't say it, I know that he misses you a lot," Yifeng said emotionally.
"Do you know that he always runs away from me each time I bring up the topic of him having feelings for you? He looks so cute each time he acts like that. I am sure you would have teased him if you were around to see your beloved Jin act like a spoiled kid," Yifeng said, as he shifted his gaze to the picture frame of Yang Zi standing on the chair. He picked the picture frame up and caressed Yang Zi's smiling face.
"Grandpa misses you a lot, he has been dying to see you. Zi Er, do you know that Grandpa was so heartbroken when he learnt that you had left? After revealing the truth of you being my Uncle Jin's second daughter Jin Xiaoqi, he refused to talk to me or see me for six months. He even fell terribly sick during these six months but he didn't tell me or allow the butler to inform me about this. This is the second month since he has been diagnosed with heart disease but he has vehemently refused to have surgery. He says he will only let the doctors operate on him after he sets his eyes on his granddaughter-in-law. Zi Er, whether or not Grandpa will live solely relies on your return now so, please come back before it is too late," Yifeng spoke to the picture frame.
"Your beloved Shui Shui is doing perfectly well. Although we are mere strangers now, I still keep tabs on her. Do you know that her newly completed drama is a big hit now? She is the most sort after celebrity at the moment, I am sure you must be very proud of her. She and Xiaofei's relationship is stronger than ever. With the way things are going, I am afraid they might get married if you don't come back soon," Yifeng said beaming.
"I bet you must want to know how Shiyi and Wen Min are doing right?" Yifeng asked.
