"Fang Bingwen, I'm glad to have you make the long trip." Fu Hua said with a smile while maintaining eye contact.
Although they didn't have that close relationship, Fu Hua decided to drop the formalities since he had come for a different matter that might pull them to have a closer relationship with each other.
Deciding to drop the formalities as well, Fang Bingwen replied, "It's all thanks to your private jet."
"It's nothing."
"About the grand welcome outside, I remember telling you that we came for a private matter. There was no need not to pay attention."
Fang Bingwen didn't take a break before confronting him about earlier. He seemed they he wouldn't let the case rest if he didn't get a direct response from the man himself.
To that, Fu Hua maintained a calm disposure as he replied with his eyes shining brightly.
"One, you are not ordinary people. Two, it's your first time here. Three, anyone that likes my wife and makes the effort to see her, will be treated like a VIP. Besides, your fiancée loves my wife and I can see how much she does."
Saying that, he glanced at Zhang Liling's outfit.
He had noticed her dress, but had refused to comment on it, leaving it for Jia Li to do when she stepped in.
On the other hand, Zhang Liling had been sitting obediently by Mr. Fang's side. Even though she seemed a bit inpatient to ask an important question, she couldn't be disrespectful and cut into their conversation.
"I see... where is your wife before someone stabs me with her fingers." Fang Bingwen inquired and at the same time, Zhang Liling adjusted her sitting position, pretending to be innocent.
Of course how long would she continue to wait until the it conversation ended or Jia Li appears? She had to do something to attract their attention, and that happened to be a painful stake.
"You will see her... now."
Just then, a soft knock was heard on the door and before they could blink, the door was pushed opens in in came a beautiful woman with a waist-length black curled hair.
Her outfit was very simple. She paired a yellow and black striped shirt with a black skirt that had a zipper in front.
A smile that reached her eyes, spread across her face as her gaze swept over the three people already in the room.
As soon as Zhang Liling saw her idle, she felt her heart beat accelerate without control as her eyes stuck to her like glue.
Zhang Liling swore that if her heart was a car driving on the highway, it would have long crashed after she lost control of it because what was this?
She failed to describe how excited, nervous and glad she felt at the moment.
"Sorry I'm late." Jia Li apologized with a small bow before walking straight to Fu Hua's side. Leaning toward him, her lips pouted slightly before bringing it to touch the side of his face and only then did she go on to sit next to him.
Seeing his wife, the smile on Fu Hua's face spread even more.
Glancing at the couple sitting opposite them, Fu Hua quickly introduced Jia Li's to them.
"Bingwen, Ms. Zhang, this is my wife Jia Li." Turning his attention back to the woman sitting next to him, he continued.
"Sweetheart, this is Fang Bingwen as you already know, and sitting next to him is his fiancée, Zhang Liling. She is a huge fan and yours and only because of her persistent were we all able to gather today."
As soon as Zhang Liling got the green light, she couldn't help expression her happiness over getting to meet her idol in reality despite the fact that she was nervous.
"Mrs. Fu, I'm so happy and honoured to meet you after years of longing."
"Liling!" Fang Bingwen was almost gritting his teeth. How could she talk that way about someone's wife when the husband was present?
Did she want to lose that heart she was using to long for someone?
"Hahaha... It's fine Mr. Fang. I'm always happy to know that there is someone out there who loves me this much apart from my family."
Jia Li said immediately, trying to tell him that she was fine with Zhang Liling expressing herself as much as she wanted.
Shifting her gaze back to Zhang Liling with a kind smile on her face, she urged her to go on.
"Can I call you Liling?" she asked first?
'Huh? S-She's making a request to address me so intimately?'
Right where she was sitting, Zhang Liling literally melted like an ice cream.
Her idol wanted to call her by her name straight up. She really wasn't expecting for something like this to happen so soon.
Without time to waste, she hurriedly nodded her head like a mother hen. "Yes please."
Releasing and inhaling short breath, she fanned herself. "Oh my goodness! I don't think I can breathe properly for the rest of today."
Instantly, Fang Bingwen turned his face away, signalling his denial to knowing who she was. He could no longer deal with her.
On the other hand, Fu Hua seemed to be having fun with Zhang Liling's antics and Fang Bingwen's reaction to it.
He really wanted to laugh out loud, but it would be best if he held it in.
"Ah! If you are going to lose your breath, then it would be best if we go with the formal way," Jia Li said, feigning disturbed by her statement.
Almost at the same time, Zhang Liling waved her hands in front of her face. "No!" But realizing that her tone was harsh, she quickly toned down a bit.
"I mean, I was only exaggerating. My heart will never cease from being joyful," she said, sounding convincing, while rubbing her palms on her dress.
"Hahahaha... I was only teasing you a bit." Jia Li revealed with a small laugh.
She seemed very happy seeing someone that loved her that much and from her facial expression, she wasn't faking it at all.
Just like how she had pictured her idol to truly be, Jia Li was exactly like that.
Jia Li looked just like her photos on the internet, and she was kinder than she had thought her to be. Who knew she would be so beautiful and humble at the same time?
No wonder a lot of people loved her. She was an angel in human form.
