"Don't take too long, we don't have much time left."
Mr. Fang did not bother her anymore and just said that before ending the conversation.
Normally he wouldn't feel the need to be in a hurry for this kind of occasion but because he was avoiding his old Lady's nagging, he wanted to arrive at her party some minutes after her party had started.
Also, the location was at a different city but fortunately, they didn't have to drive a long distance before arriving.
Half an hour drive was enough.
The moment he ended the call, he went into his bedroom to change his outfit before going downstairs, while Zhang Liling threw her phone to one corner and started to take out some dresses that caught her eyes.
Each time she picked one, she would place it in front of her body and stare at the mirrorto ascertain if it would fit for the kind of occasion was attending.
Ten minutes later, she felt tired. Exhaling deeply, she changed her outfit before running downstairs. There was no time to bath, so she put on some perfume.
Luckily, she was not sweaty because of the Air condition in the room that saved her ass.
By the time she arrived at the dining room with her bag, Mr. Fang was already sitting at his usual position eating the simple dishes served before him.
Smiling apologetically, she hurried explained as she went to take her seat. "I'm sorry I took a longer time."
Fang Bingwen spared her a glance and only uttered one word, "Eat."
After Lunch, the two of them left the house with two cars, a driver and two bodyguards.
On their way, Zhang Liling who was sitting beside Fang Bingwen at the back seat of his car asked with a questioning brow. "What does your grandmother like? I want to get a suitable gift for her."
Liling was being very honest because she didn't feel the need to hide her intentions from him. It was useless.
Mr. Fang thought silently for a while before replying.
"As long as she likes you..."
Immediately, Zhang Liling's heart leaped in her chest.
She had never thought about the possibility of being rejected by any member of the Fang family especially his grandmother, so she was a little shocked.
Registering the fright on her face, he shook his head in disbelief.
It was not his intention to tease or taunt her, but it looks like he didn't even need to have those thoughts or try for her to already be in a trance.
Just what did she think a day?
Not having the time to mess with her mind, he immediately continued from where he left off.
"Stop thinking too much. My grandmother will like you. She will also like whatever present you bring with you because you are with me."
Currently, Zhang Liling was not in the right mind to pay attention to the last word he said otherwise she would have immediately asked if he was scared of referring to her as his girlfriend.
But she was too far into thinking about the his old lady and the particular gift to bring.
Hearing him finish his sentence, instantly settled her tensed nerves.
Tilting her head to the side, the corners of her lips rose up as a smile that reached her eyes immediately plastered on her face.
"This is great! Mr. Fang, your grandmother is very simple." She said and shifted her gaze to the road.
Zhang Liling was very happy that she didn't need to worry about being liked, and her gift being rejected. His words had indeed put her heart at ease.
'Only because there is nothing for you to worry now,' he thought before taking his eyes off her.
He was wondering if she would think that way if he had said otherwise. It wouldn't even be impossible for her to erupt in cries at the feeling of rejected.
She was quite lucky that he has never had the intentions of playing with her emotions otherwise she would have had it hot first, before he would think of placating her.
Some minutes later, the first place their car pulled over was in front of a popular store known to sell traditional gifts.
Zhang Liling had remembered this and asked for them to stop their first to see if she could pick something befitting for Old Lady Fang.
As they car came to a stop, Mr. Fang glanced at the signboard in front of the store through the window with keen interest.
'She really knows the best place.' He said with a tinge of pride in his tone. But chossing to conceal his thoughts from her in order to curb her ego, he stepped out of the car.
"Mr. Fang, I think I will be able to see something nice for your grandmother. But it might not be expensive." Zhang Liling said with a tinge of worry in her tone, while her face had a smile.
Even though he said his old lady will accept whatever she gave to him no matter the cost and if she liked it or not because she was his girlfriend, she was still a little bothered.
Her mind was a little restless because she wanted to gift her something that was useful.
"Money is the least worry. What riches has she not seen? Come, let's go in. I have told you not to worry." He said and pulled her hand to go into the store together.
It seemed like his words were powerful enough to assure her, which finally put her restless mind to a relaxing state.
Seeing the couple walking into the store, the manager who was instructing the attendants quickly walked up to them.
"Hello Mr! Hello Ms! Welcome to our store, what item would you like to pick today?" The woman asked with a sweet welcoming smile.
Mr. Fang ignored her, lesvig Zhang Liling to respond to her.
Smiling in return, Zhang Liling hurriedly said, "We will take a look around, if we need your assistance, we should surely call for you."
"Alright, please help yourselves." The store manager said while gesturing to them.
Zhang Liling turned to Mr. Fang and said while pulling him ahead. "Come, let's see if we can pick something nice."
Almost twenty minutes later of taking a look at some of the items in the store, Zhang Liling saw a few things that caught her eyes.
But having the stubborn man by her side who did not allow her to pick more than 3 items, she had no choice but to make a final decision.
At last, she picked up 3 different items.
The first one was a beautiful set of authentic Chinese chopsticks.
This painted decorative set came with five pairs and a neat display case, making it perfect for gifting.
The chopsticks were already looking fabulous and would suit any dining it was placed on.
The second gift was an Emerald green electric heating mug and saucer.
Zhang Liling had thought how handy that set would be during winter and picked it. Also, she didn't forget to pick another set for the Old man of the Fang Family.
She had remembered Mr. Fang's grandfather and added him to the list.
The last thing Zhang Liling picked was a few bags of tea which included a bubble tea kit.
She wanted to get something that would benefit all the elders of the Fang family if possible, and remembering his parents, she remained adament and wnrt ahead to add them to her cart.
Just as her smiling eyes that moved away from the basket and landed on a calligraphy set, her eyes widened in surprise.
"Hey! That's a calligraphy set!" She said in utter surprise.
Quickly turning to Fang Bingwen who had a scowl on his face, she pulled him by the arm and tugged on his sleeves.
"Mr. Fang, I have to get this for your grandfather, do you thi..."
"Hey! Wait! Where are you dragging me too?!" Zhang Liling shouted as the annoyed man pulled her toward the other direction to go and pay for the items she had selected without letting her finish her words.
Out of his benevolence, he had allowed her to pick more than 3 times, but he could very see that her desires were insatiable and immediately pulled her away before she ends up buying the entire shop.
