Arriving in front of the door to Zhang Liling's room, Mr. Fang knocked softly.
Hearing no response, he guessed that she must still be asleep, so he turned the door handle downwards before gently pushing the door open.
The first thing that caught his sight as soon as he opened the door, was the figure laying on the bed with the fluffy white duvet covering from her shoulder to her toes.
Walking in proper, he shut the door behind before taking quiet steps inside, still, the sounds of his shoes against the tiled was audible.
Although that was so, Zhang Liling continued to sleep peacefully.
'Is she that tired?' he thought to himself as his steps inched closer until he was now standing beside the bed.
"Liling," he called out softly.
He was aware that it was risky to raise his voice just to wake someone in a deep sleep because it was not good for the brain hence, he had to wake her gently.
"Liling, wake up," he said again, but when he did not hear any response, he found her shoulders and shook them gently.
This little action of his finally earned him a little movement from the sleeping figure.
Zhang Liling squeezed her eyes and letting out a groan, she turned her face to face his side to continue sleeping.
"..."
Seeing that she had no thoughts of waking up, he was left with no choice but to take an extra mile.
Pushing the duvet off her body, he finally earned a word from her, "Cold" as her shoulders shivered slightly.
Instinctively, Zhang Liling wrapped her arms acrosss her shoulders because of the sudden wwve of cold air that penetrated her skin.
A frown slowly made its way to Mr. Fang's face at her complaint, he was now wondering if she had heard him calling out to her but decided to keep quiet since she didn't want to wake up yet.
But on a second thought, he calmed down a bit, and that was when he noticed that the air in the room was indeed cold.
Because he had come in from the wwrm weather, he didn't notice the high difference in temperature untill a second ago.
Shifting his gaze to the AC in the room, he saw that it was st the highest and finally found the reason she must be cold.
Immediately, he found the remote and turned it off completely.
He could imagine just how she had been sleeping for several hours in that cold degree. Of course she would be cold.
No wonder she would feel it immediately he too away the duvet.
Thankfully, he entered her room and noticed it.
Mr. Fang placed the duvet back on her body and stood by the bedside watching her.
'Foolish girl, do you want to kill yourself?' He thought to himself while blaming her.
About 5 seconds later, a soft sigh escaped from his lips before he turned around to leave.
He just figured that he would let her sleep for a few minutes until he returns.
For now, he would go to his bedroom to change his clothes and freshen up, and bey the time he came back, her body them would have normalized and gotten familiar with the new one in the environment.
This would be the perfect time to wake her.
With that Mr. Fang left her bedroom and right outside, he met the butler who had come down the stairs.
"Mr. Gu, ask the hosuekeeper to serve two portions of food." He instructed before continuing in his steps.
Butler Gu got the message and replied, "Yes Sir," before turning to leave.
Twenty minutes later, Fang Bingwen descended the stairs and went straight for Zhang Liling's bedroom.
Ms. Chu who just stepped out of the bedroom after serving the dinner, saw him and immediately notified him about it.
With a wave of his hand, Mr. Fang turned his gaze back to the path before him.
"Could Miss Zhang still be sleeping?" Ms. Chu thought with a slight from before turning to go back to the kitchen.
When Mr. Fang entered the room, Zhang Liling was trying to wake up after her body had adjusted to the temperature in the room, but the heaviness was still weighing on her.
Watching her roll from side of the bed to the other with her eyes tightly shut and a groan escaping her lips, Fang Bingwen stepped towards the bed.
"Zhang Liling." He called out to her. This time around he was not scared of disturbing her sleep because she had slept for far too long.
He understood that her body was still trying to recover from the time difference and jet lag, but if she continued to sleep, what will happen when night falls?
This means that she may stay away all through the night when others had retired and then sleep when it was time to start the day.
This wasn't right.
Fortunately, Zhang Liling heard him calling out to her and answered as her lashes slowly fluttered open.
"Mmmm..." She hummed in reply.
"Wake up, you've been sleeping for several hours now." Mr. Fang said as he stood beside the bed and watched her lazy about.
Hearing that familiar voice and seeing his figure, Zhang Liling asked in her grogginess with a look of surprise on her fac. "Mr. Fang? Y-You are back?"
'Whwn did he come back?' She thought as she slowly tried to sleep up.
Ignoring her question, Mr. Fang brought out his left hand from his pocket and stretched it toward her.
"Come down from the bed," he said while offering her assistance.
Rubbing her eyes to wave off the rest of the sleepiness in her eyes, she ssked, "When did you come back? Did you decided to come back early today?"
Finally, Mr. Fang decided to answer while at the same time letting her know how long she had been sleeping for.
"I have been back for more than 30 minutes now. It's almost 6 pm, come out for dinner."
Reaching out with her right hand, she took his hand and he helped her to get off the bed.
"I didn't know that I've been sleeping for that long." She managed to reply.
