What choice would Zhang Liling make between the date she has been hoping for with the man she loves, and the date she had with her friend whom she has not seen for a while?
Well, Zhang Liling indeed had no other option but to make a choice.
Imagine where she had to go straight to Mr. Fang's study to cancel on the date with him?
Fang Bingwen was only surprised that she had already made arrangements with her friend shortly before he sent that message to her.
Looking her up and down, he said, "You can go. Some other time, we would go out."
Instantly, the guilt on Zhang Liling's face disappeared and was replaced with relief. "Really, you are not angry?" She asked as she leaned into his table.
"Why would I be angry?" Mr. Fang asked. He was staring at her calmly as he tried to understand what she meant by that.
Hearing him say that, she straightened her back as the corners of her lips stretched to the sides. "I'm happy you are not angry, but when will our next date be?"
Zhang Liling couldn't help but to ask, just to clarify things with him. At least, she would be sure of their next date, and have it at the back of her mind.
Mr. Fang understood and quickly glanced at the table calendar of his desk while replying, "My tomorrow looks a bit packed, so I'm not sure if we can shift it to that day. But if you don't have any plans in the evening of tomorrow, and have no problems with waiting, I would let you know if we can go out by 3 pm tomorrow."
Because of his new plans, Fang Bingwen was a bit overwhelmed with work, and he could recall that his schedule was fully packed on Monday.
The reason he made this kind of arrangement with her, was so that if it were possible to shift some of his work over to the next day, they would go on a date, but if it wasn't possible, he would continue and scehdule their date on another day.
"Alright." Zhang Liling said in agreement. "I am fine with anything propose." She added and turned to leave, but he stopped her.
"Would you have dinner with me at home, or would you eat more than enough outside?" He asked with his gaze upon her face.
His brows were slightly creased as he waited for a response.
Immediately, Zhang Liling smiled amusedly. 'Mr. Fang wants my company? We must be living in another planet.'
"I will make sure to leave some space in my stomach so I can have dinner with you."
Mr. Fang nodded. "Mmmm... Don't drink any alcohol and come back and give me some dimwitted reasons why you took it."
Zhang Liling was very good at making lame excuses for doing things she was warned against, so here he was telling her off ahead of time.
As he said that, Zhang Liling's face changed a bit. How was it possible not to drink when this was a get together with ehrvbest friend?
Does Mr. Fang no what he is requesting for?
To her change in facial expression, Mr. Fang was indifferent. "Also, before you leave, come and show your outfit to me." He added.
"Mr. Fang, you are really asking for too much." Zhang Liling said to him without batting an eye as her lips pouted.
Her brows were knitted in a frown as she laid her complaints.
First, was not to drink, and another one, was to leave the house dressed in an outfit that he approved of.
'Maybe, it's time to move back to my place.' She thought to herself.
"Am I asking for too much? I am looking out for you, and myself." Mr. Fang said as he reclined his back on the backrest of his chair.
Without waiting for her response, he continued, "You are now my girlfriend, so you have to drop some carefree acts. You can't come home drunk. I don't know the level of your alcohol tolerance, so you can't drink without me. Who knows the trouble you will cause while drunk outside? I don't even want to think about it."
This was Mr. Fang's worry, that his girlfriend who was already a handful, would cause public attention when she was drunk.
He couldn't be rest assured if he wasn't by her side when she was drinking.
"Fine!" Although Zhang Liling was not happy, she agreed to listen to him.
"But I have a condition." She said, surprising the man who had secretly sighed in relief.
"What is it?" Fang Bingwen raised a question brow, but then, he watched her walk over to the other side of the table where he was sitting as a smirk turned up on her lips.
'What is she planning?'
"For me to be very obedient today, you have to bribe me. After all, I am younger."
A tired sigh escaped his lips as he watched her come to his side, and turned his swirling chair to the side, just so she could gain a little access to stand in between his legs.
Ignoring her little action, he asked, "What do you want? Spending money?"
"Spending money?" Zhang Liling asked, with a bemused expression on her face as she hopped on his desk after clearing the space.
"I don't want your money, I have money. I want something else." She said as her eyes trailed from his eyes and down to his lips.
Mr. Fang who has been staring at her all this while, saw her eyes move from his eyes and to his lips and tilted his head to the side, a little confused.
"What do you want? A kiss?" He asked, not sure if he was right or not.
"Bingo!" Zhang Liling said with a proud smile as her smiling gaze shifted back to his eyes. At least he was smart this time around.
'I see...'
"Well, if you want a kiss, you better come down. You are too high up." Mr. Fang said as his gaze trailed her down to her legs that were dangling off his desk.
