Having learned of the possibility of her fake half-brother's girlfriend being pregnant, Zhang Liling was not one to joke around or waste time with the information.r
Also, this was a very good push for her to get even more serious.r
With a new upgraded mind-set now, she immediately put a call through to Zhang Xiaoling.r
"Have you don what I asked you to do?" She inquired.r
"Not yet, but I will get it done today. I have been a little busy at work for the last few days, but as soon as I close for the day, I will return to the Zhang residence to spend the night." Zhang Xiaoling replied.r
Since she had her own role to play in reaching the ultimate goal, she was going to put all her attention to it now that she had the time.r
"Alright, it is better you spend the night there. Also, don't forget that we have to meet in the morning for you to hand over the materials." Zhang Liling reminded.r
They sooner they got the results for the DNA, the faster their movement will be.r
"I know. There is no need to command me." Zhang Xiaoling seemed a little offended with her manner of speaking to her which she found disrespectful.r
Zhang Liling rolled her eyes and mumbled a few incoherent words under her breath. She was going to end the call when she suddenly changed her mind about something.r
Before, she had no plans of giving Zhang Xiaoling any news or feedback she got that might help to get their plans moving just in case she might end up betraying their camp, but now, it seems she had a change of mind.r
"Zhang Xiaoling, I think I should congratulate you in advance."r
"Congratulate me for what?" Zhang Xiaoling asked as liked appeared on her forehead.r
She looked to be confused about what in particular she was talking about.r
Was there something happening in her life that she needed to be congratulated for without her knowing?r
She doubted it.r
"It seems you are finally going to become an Aunt before becoming a mother. Hahaha... Congratulations!" r
Having given her an idea of what she wanted her to know, Zhang Liling went ahead to end the conversation with a smile playing at the corner of her lips.r
Putting her phone down, she swirled around in her chair before standing up on her feet to go have lunch outside with her dear husband.r
Today, they had scheduled to have lunch together since he would be taking some time off from his schedule to visit Glint.r
Being the co-partner of Glint, he could use that opportunity to see what was going on, help a bit strategizing and planning and most importantly, get to see his wife and eat with her during lunch.r
Zhang Liling was all smiles when she met him outside. r
As soon as she saw his car, she got into the backseat of the car, hugged him and kissed his lips.r
"Honey, I missed you." She whined like a child without letting go off his body.r
"I missed you too pretty girl." Fang Bingwen replied with a smile as he kissed the top of her head.r
Being in her man's one embrace, Zhang Liling felt a pool of sweetness begin to swirl up in the pit of her stomach, such that she made a cue sound of satisfaction.r
"What do you want to eat?" He inquired while holding her in his arms.r
"Anything, as long as we are eating together." Zhang Liling replied.r
Finding her words romantic, he could not stop himself from laughing from the bottom of his heart.r
He just couldn't get over how his girl rushes to say things that should be left for him to say. Why was she always in a hurry? But she was very fun to be with.r
After having an hour lunch, they went back to Glint to focus on business before he went back to Fang Group to take of matters there.r
At the end of the day, they met up at home to continue with their Romance. This time around, it was Fang Bingwen that found her, and not the other way round.r

Since hearing about the possibility of becoming an Aunt, Zhang Xiaoling had been spacing out in the middle of a huge workload.r
Different thoughts were indeed ruining through her head, but she still couldn't come to an end.r
After work, she picked up her bag and made her way toward Zhang Mingyu's office, but approaching the door, she saw him stepping out and quickly hid behind the corridor.r
She didn't know why she did that, but somehow, her senses felt the need to find out what he was upto even though she saw him alone.r
Waiting till it was safe to step out, she did come out and followed the sound of his footsteps.r
Without knowing, she followed towards another department where he stopped for a while to stare at someone she couldn't trace his gaze to because of the distance between them.r
Right there, she saw her brother pick up his phone to type a few things before leaving, and that was when she had to dodge again.r
As soon as he got out of the way, she fixed her gaze on the transparent wall block to see if anyone in that large room would pick up their phone since she kind of guessed that he had sent one of the ladies in there a text, but after a few seconds, she had to leave since she didn't see anyone making any movement.r
She figured that she could follow Zhang Mingyu instead to find out where he was going to just in case.r
With that thought, she quickly hurried to the underground parking lot agate taking an empty lift.r
Fortunately for her, she was there in time to see his car driving off and immediately, she got into her own car and floored the accelerator.r
But at the end, she arrived the Zhang residence while pulling up her car beside him within a span of a few seconds.r
Seeing the familiar car beside his as soon as he got out of his car, Zhang Mingyu's gaze widened in surprise.r
"What's this?" He muttered under his breath as he watched the car's engine turn off, and the female driver get off the car.r
"Sister Xiaoling." He called out on recognizing his sister.r
Locking her car door, Zhang Xiaoling turned to walk out of the car park and seeing that she was heading for the entrance of the house, he quickly chased after her.r
"Why were you so shocked to see me?" Zhang Xiaoling asked while keeping her gaze ahead.r
In her hands, she had different bags. Her handbag in her right hand and three luxury store bags.r
Looking away from them, Zhang Mingyu didn't try to offer any help to carry them since he was aware they were probably gifts, and they didn't look heavy.r
"I didn't hear about you coming back today and given how you seldom come here since you got married, you showing up here sometimes can be surprising." He replied.r
Hearing that, she sniggered. "I am still a part of this household even if I am married and I can come here any time I want without giving anyone a heads-up." r
"Oh..." he trailed off. As he had nothing else to say to her, he shut his lips and followed her into the house.r
At the doorway, they were welcomed by the few servants going about some walk.r
"Where is mum, she is not back yet?" Zhang Xiaoling asked why looking around the house.r
Immediately, Zhang Mingyu probed, "How did you know she is not around?" r
"Because she knows I would be here." Zhang Xiaoling replied instead of going through the long process of explaining that she had called their mother in the late Hours of the morning to tell her she was coming over, and that was when she found out she was busy with his wedding plans.r
Understanding what she was trying to say, Zhang Mingyu nodded and continued in his steps. "Sister, I will be going up to my room first." r
As Zhang Xiaoling nodded to him, she turned her gaze back to the servant waiting for their response and immediately, one of them replied.r
"Ma'am is still not back."r
"What about my Dad, he is not back yet?" At the underground parking lot, Zhang Xiaoling had not seen her father's car where it used to park, so she had guessed that he must have left for home.r
"No, Sir comes home late these days, but he sometimes meets the time for dinner." The servant replied.r
"Oh... That's even better. I will out their gifts in their rooms." Saying that, Zhang Xiaoling turned to walk away, but then she remembered something and stopped.r
"Where is housekeeper Cha?" r
"She left with Ma'am." One of the servants replied.r
"Then make sure my room is all cleaned up." r
Finally, Zhang Xiaoling disappeared from their sight while acting all natural.r
