Mr. Fang's Feisty Mistress

"Liling, your phone is ringing." Fang Bingwen said as he approached the door to the bathroom with the ringing phone in hand.

Because that little woman was in the bathroom, he had to increase his tone a but just so she could hear him clearly.

Fortunately, Zhang Liling was sitting in the bathtub enjoying her hot bath infused with essential oil hence, she was able to hear him fine.

"You can leave it, I will call back whoever it is when I come out of here."

"When you come out? Should I turn off your phone then? Zhang Xiaoling looks like she will not rest until you pick up."

Thinking about sitting around in the room while having to listen to her ridiculous ring tone, he would rather turn off her phone and wait for her to come out.

Learning that Zhang Xiaoling was the one calling, Zhang Liling scoffed.

"Why is she calling me on my wedding night, what is wrong with her?" She mumbled to herself.

Although she was annoyed with the timing that step-sister of hers had picked, she couldn't deny that if she was in her shoes, she would be curious bto some extent after eavesdropping and learning of that huge deal.

Still, she would have exercised some patience. Has she lost her mind calling her at that hour?

Just when Zhang Liling was going not ask Mr. Fang to answer the call on her behalf, a scene from her wedding played in front of her.

Shi Wenqian had said that Zhang Xiaoling liked her man, what if she tries to use this opportunity to get close to him?

At first, that was Zhang Liling's thoughts, but knowing who her husband was, she decided to let him handle the case.

With her gaze on the tightly shut door of the bathroom, she said to him, "Just answer it and tell her I will call her back."

"Fine." Fang Bingwen said and turned to walk back to the bed with the phone that had stopped ringing.

But somehow as he sat back on the sofa, it started to ring again.

Without wasting time, he slid his thumb finger across the screen before placing it on his ear.

"Zhang Liling."

That was the first word that passed through his ear as soon as he picked the call.

"It's Fang Bingwen. Liling is in the bathroom, she will call you back when she comes out."

Without waiting for her response, he directly ended the call and placed the phone beside him.

He didn't need to get an 'Okay' from her before he would know she heard him. As he had never had a good relationship with the rest of the Zhang family members, he was not going to start now.

Besides, Zhang Xiaoling hadn't treated his wife well in the past and now, she hadn't also made up for it. There is no need according her any respect.

Since his personality was already difficult to deal with in the first place on a normal circumstance, he would keep it that way.

Some minutes later, Zhang Liling walked into the room in a thin short red nightdress.

Sweeping his gaze from her head and down to her feet before moving it back to her face again, he handed the phone to her.

"I told her you were going to call when you come out from the bathroom."

Rising to his feet, he took a step closer as she tapped a few buttons on her phone with furrowed brows.

Leaning in close to her neck, his nose picked up the sweet lavender scent from her properly.

"You smell nice." He said while by passing her to go into the walk-in closet, leaving her with a sweet smile.

"Thank you, Honey." Zhang Liling smiled from ear to ear at his compliment.

So he knew how to make her happy?

How come he didn't show this side of complimenting her when they were still dating, was he waiting till they got married first? Or was he not good with words?

If she wasn't so sure that she wanted to be with him, he would have long discouraged her.

With her newly wedded husband gone, she turned her focus and attention to the call she was making.

Zhang Xiaoling who was equally dressed in a long night dress was sitting impatiently at the foot of her bed in the room she shared with her husband, Tang Enlai in the Tang Mansion when the call came in.

She immediately jumped up from the bed and answered the call.

Since meeting Zhang Liling while eavesdropping on the conversation with her mother, she hadn't found another opportunity to talk with her.

As soon as they entered the wedding reception event, she became busy.

Also, Zhang Xiaoling didn't want her mother to suspect anything by seeing her having a conversation with her.

She was not going to give her the benefit of doubt.

"Hello, Zhang Liling." Zhang Xiaoling said immediately the call connected as she was sure of who was on the line.

"What can I help you with. You just had to call me on my wedding night. Are you asking to solidify our feud?" Zhang Liling threw a question at her immediately.

She was not going to let the fact that she was calling on a special night as this slide. She even thought they didn't have each others contact.

Lo and behold, they had it, but there was no reason to communicate as they became adults.

"I apologize for that. There was no opportunity to speak with you again at the party. Also, it wouldn't be possible to get you on the phone after tonight till after a few days and I can't wait."

Zhang Xiaoling quickly apologized and explained which wasn't a surprise to Zhang Liling who already knew that she would learn to do the right thing if she wanted something from her.

Crossing her arm below her chest, Zhang Liling sat on the sofa and demanded, "I don't have time, what do you want?"
