After chatting for almost an hour more, both couples left for their restaurant reservation to have launch together after drinking some tea over some cookies.
But before they left, all the gifts Zhang Liling and Fang Bingwen brought were presented to Jia Li and Fu Hua.
Jia Li stared wide-eyed at the several bags that were brought into the room. Glancing between Zhang Liling and Fang Bingwen to know why they had to go through all that trouble, Fang Bingwen shifted backwards, so she could catch a full glimpse at the woman who had done all of that alone.
Smiling sheepishly, Zhang Liling waved her hands about. "It's nothing."
Chiding her a lovingly, Jia Li took her hand and led her out of the room as the man followed solidly behind them.
From FJ Styles, the two couples left for the restaurant to have launch together.
As there were two cars ready, that could only mean one thing. Each couple had to take one car for themselves but Zhang Liling didn't let that happen.
A few moments later, Fu Hua laughed heartily while coming to take the second car with Fang Bingwen.
"Your bride is really an eye-opener."
Apparently, Zhang Liling had insisted on journeying with Jia Li in the same car.
Fang Bingwen was totally at a loss for words. Did she not know when to stop?
At the end, Fang Bingwen sat with Fu Hua in the same car.
"Are you not afraid that your wife will get stolen?" Fang Bingwen couldn't help but to ask after not seeing any signs of jealousy from Fu Hua.
"Hahaha... Your bride is a woman."
In summary, Fu Hua was saying that the only reason he wouldn't go after Jia Li because the person in her company was a woman who had a man herself.
If not, he wouldn't have been patient enough to tolerate that kind of relationship.
Who was trying to drag his woman with him?
'Still she can be a threat.' Fang Bingwen thought to himself.
Some minutes later, they arrived at the restaurant where top personal chefs catered for the needs of their customers.
Since the place had already been booked, they only sat inside their reserved room before going ahead to order the dishes they wanted.
As this was a top restaurant with one of the highest rating, they already had the ingredients prepared, so the food wasn't meant to take time.
Ordering mainly Chinese dishes, Zhang Liling finally remembered that she had a finance.
"Mr. Fang, would you like to try Kupao chicken and Wotton soup?"
Giving her the side glance, Fang Bingwen was tempted to ignore her, but because of the people in front of them, he could only swallow down his annoyance.
"You should focus on yourself."
Zhang Liling stole a glance at Jia Li and Fu Hua, and seeing them busy chatting in a low tone, she leaned in to whisper to him.
"Are you annoyed?"
"Why would I be? It's not like you did anything wrong to me, or did you?" Fang Bingwen retorted.
Shaking her head, Zhang Liling leaned away from him. "You are indeed jealous."
"I said I'm not." Fang Bingwen insisted while glaring at her.
Refusing to believe him, she focused her eyes on the menu in her hands. "Don't worry, I will comfort you at night."
Not knowing that Jia Li and Fu Hua had stopped chatting and had heard her, Zhang Liling continued to flip through the pages of the menu to see if there was anything she would like to add to her order.
***
After a happy and eventful lunch together, both couples went their separate ways after Jia Li and Fu Hua promised to give them a tour at FJ Styles the next day.
Finally alone in the same space as her Mr. Fang, Zhang Liling couldn't keep her mouth shut.
She kept talking about how kind and beautiful Jia Li was, while hugging his arms and thanking him for taking the effort to fulfil one of her life's wishes.
But when she wanted to kiss him, he leaned away from her while reminding her of where they were.
Could she not be mindful of PDA and their environment?
Understanding his eye gesture, Zhang Liling nodded and placed the side of her face on his arm, not afraid to stain his suit.
"I really can't wait to tour FJ tomorrow." Zhang Liling giggled to herself.
"Or you really can't wait to meet your idol again?" Fang Bingwen corrected.
He just knew who she was. Would she have been interested in FJ if not for Jia Li? Well she might be, but she wouldn't have been so hyper about it.
Returning to their hotel room, Zhang Liling made the effort to change our of her clothes before taking her phone to go through her gallery as she had taken some snaps with Jia Li and then their entire group.
After spending an hour of going through her gallery, she finally selected two pictures. One of her and Jia Li, and the second one which included the men.
Then without a moment of hesitation, she posted them on he social media with the caption,
'I finally met my idol. She is beautiful, kind and intelligent. Ah! And she is taller than me. I'm so short! Thank you to the love of my life for making this meeting work. I love you Mr. Fang.'
Zhang Liling did not forget to tag Jia Li, Fu Hua and Mr. Fang in the photos before she finally posted and put her phone down.
Stepping out of her bedroom with her phone in hand while smiling from ear to ear like she just won a lottery, she went to meet Fang Bingwen.
"Mr. Fang, guess what?"
Raising his gaze from his laptop to give her a scrutinizing gaze, it was not hard for him to find out what she was up to.
"You have caused another commotion online haven't you?"
"Bingo!" Zhang Liling agreed that her Mr. Fang was not like other men. Her man was sharp witted.
Nodding in response, Zhang Liling found her way into his bed. "I have set the internet on fire."
Taking his laptop away, she giggled to herself.
Taking his laptop back from her hands just the same way she took it first, Fang Bingwen replied, "I wish you can use the same energy to set your business on fire. That way, you wouldn't be idle."
"What? Are you still jealous?"
Scoffing, he went back to work. He refused to answer her.
But how could Zhang Liling give him a break? She had his time now, and this was when Fang Bingwen understood the importance of Jia Li in her life.
If there was something or someone else to make her occupied, he could get a breathing space.
"If you don't return my laptop, I will smack your bum." Mr. Fang threatened.
They said a word was enough for the wise, but Zhang Liling was clearly dumb. The little woman snapped the laptop close and pushed it far away before returning to his side.
Crossing her arms over his neck, she sat on him and crossed her knee over to the other side.
"I just made your work easier. Now you can directly feel the soft flesh of my bum on your thighs."
Fang Bingwen promised that he was done with her.
Who raised this naughty brat?
"Are you trying to seduce me?"
"Kind of." Zhang Liling replied, flashing him a naughty smile.
Deciding not to best around the bush or trying to speak sense into her blocked coconut head, he inquired, "What do you want?"
"Just a little make out section would do. We don't need to go deep, so you take the lead."
"How about a kiss? We haven't made out before and I can't be tempted right now." Fang Bingwen said, trying to negotiate with her, but she refused.
"A kiss is too simple."
A kiss was too normal for them, it was time to graduate into the next class.
"Zhang Liling, what has gotten into you?"
Fang Bingwen couldn't help but get curious. Why did she suddenly want to make out with him?
"It's hard to see the food you like so much right in front of you, but you are permitted not to touch it. Mr. Fang, I can't stay away from you any longer. You are too handsome to resist."
Immediately he heard the last part, he picked on the word. "Am I more handsome than Fu Hua?"
In Zhang Liling's mind, she was only laughing out loud, but to his face, she didn't dare to. If she tried it, he would immediately throw her away from his body.
Now she knew how far his jealousy had gotten to.
"Of course! For me, you are more handsome than Mr. Fu. You are also younger than him. You have all the good points but most importantly, you belong to me." Zhang Liling said and leaned in to kiss his lips.
But the moment their lips touched, he grabbed her arm and pushed her away gently.
