"I thought we were using a commercial flight?"
Stepping out of the car, Zhang Liling could not believe the sight before her. A private jet.
"After buying the whole world, did you think it would be conducive to take a commercial flight?" Fang Bingwen retorted while standing next to her as his body guards moved the items from the car into the private jet.
"What about first class? I'm sure they would have s lot of space for us after spending that much?"
"You complain a lot, just get in." Fang Bingwen said as he hugged her neck and led them to climb the steps of the private jet.
"Mr. Fang, does this belong to you?" While climbing the stairs, Zhang Liling couldn't help but to get curious.
"How rich do you think I am?" Fang Bingwen asked instead of responding to her question. This way, she was free to come to any conclusion of her choice.
"That means it's not yours. Who did you hire it from?" Finally entering the private jet, Zhang Liling allowed her gaze to move around the interior.
The pure milk-coloured leather seats mixed with the rich wooden brown colour, looked mature, and she instantly fell in love with it.
Slipping his hands inside the front pockets of his pants, he replied, "Fu Hua."
"What?" Instantly, Zhang Liling's gaze shifted to him. "You hired it from Mr. Fu?"
She looked to be in shock as she watched his facial expression to see if he was pulling her legs or not.
"What hire? I borrowed it from him." Saying that, Fang Bingwen just walked ahead to find a better position to seat, leaving her speechless.
She was going to see someone, and had the audacity to ask for favour first? Zhang Liling didn't know what to think of him.
He was really too much.
Some minutes later, the bodyguards were done loading the gifts. Finally getting on the jet as Bolin drove away in Fang Bingwen's car, the jet got ready to take off.
Knowing who that jet belonged to, Zhang Liling sat quietly for a few minutes until it was safe for her to move about and only then, did she take out her phone.
It was truly a blessing to be on that jet and with that mentality, she posed for a selfie and just as she pressed the capture button, Fang Bingwen butt his head in, ruining her selfie.
"Did you miss me?" Zhang Liling asked while staring at the picture he had just ruined.
It was not bad, just that anyone can tell that he had photo bumped her.
"Who said so? I was going to use the restroom when I felt it would be fine to ruin your picture." Fang Bingwen lied as he stood with his back erect behind her.
"Liar." Zhang Liling called out, clicking her tongue at the end. She didn't trust his words as he was good at playing hard to get.
Seeing that she had a nice picture, she decided not to delete it. Feeling his presence behind her, she put down her phone and turned to him.
"Can I post the ring?" She asked as her eyes shone brightly.
She seemed happy and expectant. It was hard to hold this kind of good news for 24 hours without telling anyone about it.
She needed to share this good news with friends and enemies. Everyone had to know something about it.
"Do as you like. The finger is yours, not mine." Saying that, Fang Bingwen really turned around and left for the restroom without a calm look on his face.
Getting his approval, Zhang Liling hurriedly jumped to her social media to post about their engagement.
Selecting the photo she had just clicked of her and Fang Bingwen, she selected another one that showed the pink heart-shaped diamond ring on her finger and posted it with the caption,
'It's thrilling going on a vacation after getting engaged, and then someone had to ruin my photo."
Immediately she posted it, she went off line.
Ordering for a glass champagne as the corners of her lips curled into a smile.
She would have loved to see the comments already probably making their way under her post, but she would be tempted to reply a few.
But letting everyone react to the news of her engagement and asking several questions with no response getting at them, she would love to enjoy that thrilling feeling.
"Have you posted it?"
Coming back and seeing her smile to herself like she had done an evil deed, Fang Bingwen couldn't help but to get interested.
"Yes, and I can't wait to get everyone's reaction."
"I see... If you get hungry, eat as much as you like."
"Because you are not paying for it?" Zhang Liling asked, teasing him about borrowing the private jet from Fu Hua.
"I only borrowed the plane, the captain and the stewardess, not the food and the chef," Fang Bingwen clarified. Winking at her, he turned to go back to his seat, leaving her to have fun by herself since she was capable of exciting herself.
She had even already started one already.
In no time, Zhang Liling's post blew up and became the talk of town.
Out of the thousands of people showing interest, there were only a few who doubted that the hand actually belonged to her.
Some of them asked for her to take a full picture of herself with the ring on her finger, while others demanded for a full video.
Apart from those who were not happy which included Shu Rushi who was almost on the verge collapsing, there were a lot of fans already congratulating Zhang Liling and Mr. Fang for taking their relationship to the next level.
Some were even asking when the wedding was going to hold and if it was a private or a public one.
In London where she went to attend a show, Song Jujing couldn't believe her eyes.
"This mean girl didn't even care to tell her mother about this good news first. I guess she wanted me to find out along with the others."
Sighing to herself, she slipped her phone back into her pocket.

~Zhang Group~
Zhang Renshu was speaking on the phone with an Investor when Zhang Mingyu bathed into his office panting for breath.
Still on the call, Zhang Renshu glared daggers at him, allowing his gaze to follow him until he came to sit in front of him.
"Yes. That was 30 percent interest. No. As you wish. Yes, I will surely notify about it. Yes. Thanks."
Putting the phone down as the conversation had come to an end, Zhang Renshu immediately glanced at the young man before him, ready to blast him in the face.
Aware that his father as annoyed with his rude behaviour, Zhang Mingyu best him to speak first.
At least then, he would have more advantage.
"Dad, Liling is engaged!" He immediately announced a little breathlessly.
He had left his office and had run down straight to his office to break this news to him. This was as a result of the advantage of being on social media during work hours.
"What?!" Zhang Renshu's brows knitted tightly in a frown as his eyes squinted at him.
Without doubt, the man was shocked.
"How would she get engaged without the two families meeting? She has not formerly introduced Fang Bingwen to me, who said she was allowed to get engaged to him?"
Zhang Renshu was stubborn and refused to believe things until the evidence was laid out in front of his eyes.
Not in the mood to wallow in his father's shock, Zhang Mingyu quickly showed Zhang Liling's latest post to him.
Swiping to the left after he saw the photo is her and Fang Bingwen together in the private jet, he finally saw the photo of the ring on her finger as his eyes widened in shock.
"Is this true?" He asked, his tone in disbelief.
He truly did not believe that his daughter would run straight to get engaged to a man he did not know much about, but unfortunately, it was true.
"Dad, this is true. Zhang Liling is not someone to joke like this and this is Fang Bingwen we are talking about. Do you think she would joke with both families like this?" Zhang Mingyu replied, while trying to give an insight into how genuine the hot topic was.
Unable to bear the shock, Zhang Renshu pointed at his door. "Get out!"
"Dad."
Zhang Mingyu looked surprised by the sudden order. What had he done wrong now?
Was bringing the latest news about his daughter, the reason he was getting chased out? Would he have prepared to remain in the dark.
Still, he left the office to avoid being the scapegoat that all his grievances would land on.
As soon as his son left, Zhang Renshu made a call and ordered for the person to come into his office.
"What has happened between my daughter and that Fang guy?" Zhang Renshu questioned the man before him, who happened to be his new intel.
