"You should sleep on time tonight." Mr. Fang said without looking at her face.
Hearing him tell her to go straight to be on their wedding night, Zhang Liling frowned. "Honey!"
"What?" Instantly, Fang Bingwen was startled.
It felt so strange to hear her use that word on him.
He would even feel more comfortable if she continued to address him as 'Mr. Fang' but he knew that word was no longer appropriate as they were now married.
"Why would I sleep on time when tonight is our wedding night?"
Smiling at him, she winked while staring straight into his eyes, waiting to see any passing emotion on his face.
Finally they were married and now, he couldn't get away from her clutches.
Fang Bingwen stared at her as if something was wrong with her. Not wanting to have that kind of conversation with her when there were people around them, he cleared his throat and led her into the house proper.
"Welcome back, Mr. Fang, Mrs. Fang!" Butler Gu, the maidservants and the housekeeper, welcomed the latest couple back home.
They all had attended the wedding, but as they had some work waiting for them, to prepare the place for the newly married, they had to return to the villa on time.
Seeing them bow to her, a smile that reached Zhang Liling's eyes spread across her face.
While holding unto Fang Bingwen's arms, she thanked them happily.
"Thank you!"
She was excited because of her new mode of address. She was now called, 'Mrs. Fang' which was a reminder of her marriage to Fang Bingwen.
Zhang Liling couldn't be any more happier than now.
Receiving her permission to rise, they all straightened their backs.
"Mrs. Fang, a hot bath has been prepared for you in the Master's bedroom." Housekeeper Chu announced with a straightforward smile while meeting her gaze.
"Thank you."
Thanking them once again, as her gaze swept past them, she allowed Mr. Fang to take her away.
"I'm happy I can share this place with you forever." Zhang Liling couldn't help saying as they climbed the stairs together.
"There is no need to be super hyper about it. This is your home now."
"No, home is where you are, Honey." Zhang Liling teases.
Since discovering the new title was too overwhelming for him, she had decided to use it frequently.
The earlier he got used to it, the better for him.
Finally, the latest couple in town smoothly made their way into Fang Bingwen's bedroom, which they would both have to share from then onwards.
Walking into the room that had some changed to it, Zhang Liling couldn't help not smiling.
She could see some of her touches in the room.
This was only possible as her things were moved to his place after they had collected their marriage certificates.
But it was only until now she was seeing the room after her things had been put in place by the housekeeper and the two servants.
Seeing the new arrangement, the room made it seem like she had been living with Mr. Fang for a while.
Shutting the door behind them, Mr. Fang strode to her side and followed her gaze to see what in particular she was staring at.
"Won't you go and have a bath while the water is still hot?"
As winter was slowly coming, hot things easily got cold hence, he was a little bothered that she might have to wait for a little while for the water to be prepared all over again.
Recovering from the little distraction, she tilted her head to the side. Meeting his gaze, she flashed him a smile.
"I will go and have my bath now."
Saying that, she tip-toed and brushed her lips past his left cheek before skipping into the walk-in closet, leaving the man a little stunned.
'Right, we are married. She can do as she pleases.'
Sighing to himself, he went to sit at the foot of the bed but right then, he heard a soft knock on the door and gave his consent for an entry.
"Come in."
The next second, the door slowly opened and in came the hosuekeeper who was carrying a bag in her hand.
Apparently, she had brought in the small items they had come back with from the wedding venue which included their phones, Zhang Liling's purse.
With Mr. Fang's permission, she placed everything where they should be before turning to leave.
"Ms. Chu, prepare some light snacks and bring them in." Fang Bingwen instructed just as she was about to leave.
"Yes, Sir."
Bowing he head slightly, housekeeper Chu turned to leave.
***
In the walk-in closet, Zhang Liling couldn't keep her eyes off the new arrangement.
She could clearly see that all of Fang Bingwen's things had been moved to one side, while her things had been placed on the right side.
Twirling around on her heels, a smile bloomed on her face.
"I am married..." She song joyfully while making a rhythmic sound with her throat.
Finally when she was done embarking on the happiness for a short while, she nodded in satisfaction.
"Now, it's time to have s bath." Mumbling to herself, she changed out of her reception dress and got into a white bathrobe before heading for the bathroom.
Back in the room, Fang Bingwen sat on the sofa across from the foot of the bed to wait for his turn to bath.
While slowly taking off his wrist watch, he heard the ringing sound going off from one of the phones placed on the nightstand.
Immediately, he shifted his gaze to that place. Recognizing that it was Zhang Liling's phone that was ringing, he looked away and continued to take off the watch from his wrist.
Placing it on the table in front of him, the ringing sound slowed before coming to a stop.
Just when he thought some peace and quiet had returned, the phone started to ring again.
Having no choice, he took off his suit jacket before rising to his feet and making his way their.
Glancing at the lit-up screen of her phone, he saw the caller ID, 'Zhang Xiaoling'
"Since when did they get close?" Muttering under his breath as his brows furrowed slightly, he reached his hand out to pick up the phone.
