To his question, Zhang Liling did not think much of it before giving her response.
"I think there are a total of 12 items."
"Twelve?" Fang Bingwen asked as he dragged her to go sit on her bed.
Noticing the change in his tone, her brows creased slightly. "Is anything the matter?"
Wasn't he the one that said she should shop to her heart's content, why was he making a fuss now?
"I'm surprised that you would buy that much number of items. Did you get those things because you need them or because it was FJ you walked into?" He asked curiously without tearing his gaze off her.
As soon as the question reached her ears, Zhang Liling felt a sweet sensation in her body and without thinking, she revealed her inner thoughts to him.
"Of course, it's because it's FJ Styles. They have so many good things that I was almost unable to control myself.
"Tch." Fang Bingwen scoffed. She was unable to control herself?
He looked shocked. He was almost about to swear for her.
Someone who was able to pick twelve items from a high-end store without consideration was deemed almost unable to control herself?
What kind of logic was that?
Truly, only her could come up with something like that.
At the end, he had to give up on that topic. He didn't care how much in his bank account that she spent, he was only acting as a result of surprise.
Who knew that she would be in the mood to shop, and then she had to go to her favourite store.
"How did you spend your day?" He inquired.
"I didn't do anything form apart from shopping..." Zhang Liling answered and then went ahead to talk about the things she did in his absence.
"You should try exercising for today," he said whist giving her the side glance.
"I will try that in a few minutes. But in all, I feel better without the thought of work in my mind."
"if that is the case, then you did better than usual."
"Mmmm..." Humming, her gaze darted to his work suit and immediately reminded him.
"You should change out of your outfit and freshen up."
Mr. Fang looked down at his clothes and quickly rose to his feet. "I will meet you at the gym room." With that, he walked away.
Zhang Liling truly left for the gym room after changing out of her dress to a more fitting one. She didn't get to work out by herself for up to half an hour before Mr. Fang showed up to join her.
Over the next two days, Zhang Liling spent most of her time airing her brains out.
In one of the days, Fang Bingwen had to work from home just so he could monitor her and when he started to see the change in her complexion, he allowed her to get back to work.
With no time to waste, Zhang Liling sent out the employment letters to the job candidates that sort to work for her brand.
Two days later, All of them including the staffs she picked to work as the shop attendants, reported to work.
For the moment, their main job was to help to organize the products after sorting them.
Within a week, the job was done and Zhang Liling went on to set her brand's financial account and other remaining work.
In no time, she moved over to the next stage of work, and that was heavy advertisement, while at the same time, sending card invitation out to prominent people and a few influencers.
These few days, Zhang Liling was all about making sure that the invitations that were being sent out, included all of her brand products, especially to her female invitees.
Zhang Liling was launching a total of six products at once, so she made sure to alternate them.
Since her brand 'Glint' was all about makeup, she could only gift them to her female guests, and for a few male models she managed to get her hands on, she gave the package to them.
Then to those who didn't use makeup, she got something else for them.
Count down to a few days to her brand launch, Zhang Liling was already tensed and needed help.
And by needed some sir just before her brain would burst open, she dragged Tungmei out to go for the proclaimed shopping she promised her.
From the store, they went to get a quick massage and facials done.
For that moment the full body massage lasted, Zhang Liling felt like her old self again and wished that it wouldn't end, but then Fang Bingwen's call had to come in.
"Won't you answer your call?" Tungmei asked, giving her the side glance.
She couldn't help but to interfere when this was the third ring with her not attempting to cut the call off or answer it.
Did she want them to enjoy the rest of their massage at all?
Without opening her eyes, as the masseuse continued to kneed her back, she replied in a muffled tone.
"It's related to work."
"Then, it's important. You should answer it." Tungmei advised.
As soon as those words reached her ears her lashes fluttered open.
"I don't even know what to do. Normally one's boyfriend's call should bring you happiness, but not mine."
"Mr. Fang is the one calling you and you are still lying down like a dead fish?" Tungmei queried with eyes as wide as the eyes of a stock fish.
She was already surprised as it was with her ignoring her calls and then she had to shock her by revealing to her that it was Mr. Fang's call she was ignoring.
Although he was her best friend's boyfriend now, but she was still unable to shake off that feeling of the strict man lecturing them in class a year ago.
It looks like it would take a little time for her to adjust herself to the situation.
Zhang Liling sighed just as the call ended. "I know what he is calling for. These last three days, he has been about me working my ass out. I don't think he cares about me anymore."
Letting out a deep sigh, she added as her thoughts trailed off, "It was all a facade..."
