Mr. Fang's Feisty Mistress

Chapter 351 Glint's Launch Party

"Yes." Zhang Liling replied and smacked her lips before rising to her feet.

Turning to face her mother, she said, "I would have loved to stay for a little while more, but I can't."

Being understanding of her situation, Song Jujing suggested, "At least eat before you leave. You need a lot of glucose for brain work and strength till the party time."

"Of course, I will."r

Before going over to the breakfast table, Zhang Liling packed her outfit and work materials and booked a ride that would arrive by the time she had finished eating.r

On her way to Glint, Mr. Fang phoned to know how things were going only to find out that she was already on her way to her company.r

"Did you even get some rest?" He inquired, tired of her restlessness.r

How could she leave so early? He was worried that she didn't even get to sleep a wink.r

"I did, but I can't help it. If I stay at home any longer, I would have gone into a cardiac arrest. My blood pressure would have risen out of nervousness and worry."r

"How old are you that you would suffer from all of that?" Mr. Fang asked, holding in a laughter.r

This girl that belonged to him had a funny way of describing things. She indeed had a good sense of humour.r

"Mr. Fang, it has nothing to do with age," Zhang Liling said in defence while trying to let him know the seriousness of the matter.r

"Alright... That's fine." Fang Bingwen gave up at last.r

"I had wanted to come over to your place, but since you have already left, we will see at noon."r

'Aiya... I just missed his company...' Zhang Liling thought in regret.r

Had it been he was with her, she wouldn't have had any space in her head to be troubled with anything.r

His presence was like heaven to her as it brought her maximum comfort.r

But in order not to feel so bad about leaving her place on time, she concluded in her head.r

'My mum is around. Being with you wouldn't have been that fun.'r

In essence, she used the fact that her mother was around to cover up the regretful feeling in her heart.r

With her mother's presence, she wouldn't have been free to hug Fang Bingwen or even go as far as to relax in his embrace and have him wrap his arms around her.r

That wasn't even possible.r

"Mr. Fang, you can come over and spend some time with me," Zhang Liling suggested instead.r

It was still possible for them to be together.r

"I would have loved to, but currently after overworking myself yesterday, I have phobia for a workplace."r

Exhaling, he continued, "Liling, I just wanted to check in on you, I will see you by 10, but if you need anything before then, put a call through."r

A few hours later Mr. Fang arrived Flint with Bolin tailing behind him.r

One of them looked dressed for the occasion while the other one was still dressed in a button-up shirt and a pair of grey suit pants.r

Fang Bingwen was yet to change into his suit for the even as he still had a few things to set up with Zhang Liling.r

Soon, the caterer brought the food, deserts, and snacks and began to set everything up while the Champagne tower was being built at the same time.r

Last minute sound check was being done by the technical team as other last-minute finishing was being done.r

When all this was going on, Zhang Liling was there to take a look at things even though there were already peoples assigned to supervise the work.r

Going over to the food stand, Zhang Liling saw the fruit salad decorated and arranged to form a stylish font for 'Glint' and was satisfied.r

Shifting her gaze to the next fruit beside it, she saw how the large watermelon was carved to have Glint's name and logo on it, plus three of the makeup products that were being launched.r

"This is beautiful..." She said out loud in appreciation, almost tempted to touch it, but kept her hands to her side at the last minute.r

"I know right?" Fang Bingwen asked with his hands in his pocket as he came from behind her with a smile on his face.r

Just like her, he was also inspecting things to make sure that everything was in the right place and position.r

Hearing his voice from behind, Zhang Liling immediately turned to glance his way.r

"I thought you would remain up there,"r

"I had to come down for your sake. Who knows the next thing that would worry you." Just as he said that, music came on in the room as the coloured lights were turned on.r

Shifting her gaze to the stage, Zhang Liling turned to look at him after scanning through the stage. "It's already an hour to the event time."r

According to the instruction she had given, they were to start playing music an hour to the event time.r

Eyes on the stage, Fang Bingwen said before slowly shifting his gaze back to her. "That's your call to go and get ready."r

"What? You're right, but I still have..."r

Zhang Liling was about to add the fact that she was still yet to check a few more things when he grabbed her shoulders from behind and started pushing her forward.r

"What else do you still want to check when I'm here? Do you want your guests to arrive and see you in this state?" r

Without giving her the chance to retort, Fang Bingwen continued to push her ahead.r

Left with no choice, Zhang Liling had to leave to get her makeup done and get dressed, while he helped her to check in the other things going on.r

Half an hour to Glint's launch time, Sing Jujing and Tungmei arrived.r

*******r

Zhang Xiaoling was very excited and at the same time expectant of the event even while she was doing her facials and getting her hair done.r

But one thing she was fortunate for, was the fact that she didn't meet her mother-in-law in the beauty store she chose to visit.r

It's not like she was afraid of her. She just didn't want anything that would ruin her mood that morning.r

She was already grateful that she got to be happy, courtesy of Tang Enlai.r

As soon as Zhang Xiaoling finished getting her nails done, she went into a high-end store to shop for a new dress.r

As there was no time to waste, she had to hurry back home.r

The address for the event would almost take an hour for them to arrive there.r

Going in straight to her bedroom while carrying their bags, she met face to face with Tang Enlai who was taking off his cufflinks.r

Instantly, she froze in her steps.r

Never had she thought about how she was going to face him when he returned.r

If it were to be before, she would have automatically gone on to continue ignoring him, but that wasn't possible anymore, especially after his kind gesture in the morning.r

Meeting her shocked gaze, which then turned to a little confusion the next second, Tang Enlai slowly followed her arm down to the bags in her hands.r

"You went shopping?" He inquired, choosing to ignore their differences which instantly put her heart at ease.r

"Yes. Instead of staying at home idly, I figured that I could get a new dress," Zhang Xiaoling replied with a calmly.r

In hear heart, she was hoping that he wouldn't think too much into the shopping she did.r

She hoped that he wouldn't think she did that because of Fang Bingwen's possible presence at the event as she had already scheduled to do this the previous day.r

Since when did Zhang Xiaoling start to worry about things like this?r

"I think you take a shower first before I go in." Tang Enlai suggested.r

He knew that she would have to put on some makeup later which might take time, so he figured that she could shower first and while he was in the bathroom, she could be having her makeup done to save time.r

"Okay," Zhang Xiaoling replied and walked past him into the inner room.r

About forty minutes later, both were dressed and ready to leave.r

At the same time down the stairs, Mrs. Tang stepped out of the house with her second daughter-in-law, looking all dolled up for the launch without any knowledge of what was to come next.r

Like a miracle, as soon as the driver dove away in her car, Zhang Xiaoling and Tang Enlai stepped out of the house together.r

If she had seen them together dressed so officially, she would have questioned where they were off to, and then she would have found out from her son.r

But since fate didn't want the surprise package to be ruined beforehand, she didn't get to know about this.r

Holding the train of her royal blue flowing sleeves dress, Zhang Xiaoling stepped into the backseat of Tang Enlai's car while clutching unto her silver purse.r

As soon as Tang Enlai stepped into to join her at the back seat, the chauffeur ignited the car's engine and drove them out of the premises to attend Glint's launch party.
