How could Zhang Liling refuse his kind gesture? She wouldn\'t be as foolish as to turn away her chance of getting Mr. Fang\'s contact number from him.

She wouldn\'t wait till she was close enough with Mr. Fang to get his contact.

Seeing her nod her head frantically, Chuanli smiled and paused with his food to whip out his phone from his pocket.

"I will send his contact to you now, and you can save it later," He said, stopping her from leaving her food to check her phone.

"Thank you, Dr. Li," Zhang Liling finally said with a satisfied smile. Now, she could feel half of her anger leave her body.

In less than a minute later, Chuanli saw Mr. Fang and his date stand up and leave together. Then he glanced at Zhang Liling to announce it.

"I think Mr. Fang is leaving."

Zhang Liling didn\'t bother to turn her head to see what was happening because she didn\'t want to. "I would have wanted to leave in his car, but I can\'t abandon my food halfway."

Chuanli smiled and continued to eat.

Outside, Mr. Fang watched his date step into her car that was brought over by the valet with his palms tucked into his front pants pocket.

When the lady was about to leave, she waved at him before driving off, but Mr. Fang did not return the gesture.

Finally alone, he breathed in the fresh musky scent of the weather. It was about to start raining.

Glancing briefly at the hotel entrance, he shifted his gaze back to the busy outside again.

\'Zhang Liling, what should I do with you?\'

Thinking so, he turned around and went back inside the hotel without calling for the valet to bring his car over.

When he returned to the restaurant, Chuanli\'s eyes almost fell off his eyesocket. \'I thought he left, why did he come back?\'

Zhang Liling observed his shocked face and asked as she tilted her head to the side to see what was so interesting to watch without holding back, "Dr. Li, what\'s wrong?"

At the end of the day, Chuanli did not need to explain anything to her, for she saw his objest of interest herself.

"Mr. Fang is back?" She asked in surprised as she watched the man make his way towards their direction.

Chuanli nodded in amazement. "Miss Zhang, I think you have to eat fast, otherwise, Mr. Fang would really go back without you, and then, you would have to trouble me to drop you back first. I wouldn\'t mind if the storm wasn\'t coming."

He was giving her an excuse to eat quickly so she could follow Mr. Fang back, and she got it.

Zhang Liling gave up on following Mr. Fang\'s gaze and turned her attention back to her food. She was no longer going to take her time.

When Mr. Fang returned to their side, he grabbed a seat from an empty table before placing it next to Chuanli, which caused him and Zhang Liling to feel choked up.

They just knew that he was there for something else, and they didn\'t know if that was what the both wanted at that time.

Zhang Liling swallowed hard and almost put her face into her food. She has been oogling at the man since, but now he was sitting next to her, she didn\'t have the courage to look up.

Chuanli on the otherhand, tried to maintain his smile.

"What did you two come here to do?" The cold voice of the man that appeared without warning, rang in their ears, while giving them an uncomfortable vibe.

"Mr. Fang, I thought you would have gone back home by now, why did you come back?" Chuanli tried to change the direction of the question, and Mr. Fang was not happy about it.

His brows knitted tightly as he tilted his head and gave his full attention to him. "Don\'t try to change the topic. What exactly did you two come here to do?"

Chuanli moved his fork on his plate, before stealing a glance at Zhang Liling.

If he joked that they came for a date, then Mr. Fang may take that personal, and may say something that would anger Zhang Liling.

So in order not to create any room for misunderstanding, he would leave that question for Zhang Liling to answer.

Zhang Liling felt the heated gaze on her, and raised her head to see the two men staring at her. Mr. Fang at some point, had seen Chuanli staring at her, and also stared toward her direction to hear the answer to his question from her mouth.

Blinking her eyes, she put down her spoon before speaking up.

"Mr. Fang, I asked Dr. Li to bring me out for some fresh air. I am a graduate now, and I felt choked up by staying indoors everyday, and wanted to come out."

Normally, her answer would have made sense, but who did she think she was saying all that to?

Mr. Fang scrunched up his nose. "Zhang Liling, have you in a spur of the moment forgotten that you are my servant? Have you seen anyone in your shoes that act the you do?"

Zhang Liling shook her head in denial. "I haven\'t seen, but I am not going to abuse this privilege."

Chuanli chuckled lightly and gave her a thumbs up under the table.

Who gave her the authority and privilege to act the way she does? She was really bold by making things up for herself.

Mr. Fang glared at Zhang Liling before fixing a hard stare at him. "Did you put her up to this? How could she not know her place?"

Zhang Liling interrupted him, "Mr. Fang, I know my place very well. I said that I like you, so how can I act like a mere servant? Of course I would have to act differently to draw your attention. If I actually act like someone below your worth, would you ever be interested in me?"

She was right! Chuanli applauded her in his head, for her words of wisdom, and the courage to say it out in his presence.

The more he saw this side of her, that more he liked and valued her. Fang Bingwen truly deserves this kind of woman.
