"Here are your clothes, you can have them now." He said as he pulled out a pile of clothes from the inner wardrobe and passed them to her.

"What??" Zhang Liling exclaimed as her eyes widened in shock.

She stood at the same spot as her eyes darted around the pile of clothes in his hands.

\'Were they really her clothes?\' she thought as her eyes tried to recognize them.

Seeing that she was probably too shocked to take her items back, Mr. Fang pushed them to her body and urged her to take them.

"Don\'t you want your clothes anymore?"

Zhang Liling was brought back to reality by the clothes in her arms and instinctively, she reached out to hold them close to her body.

Raising a questioning brow at him, she asked as lines appeared on her forehead, "Mr. Fang, you\'ve been with my dresses all these while? Why did you take them?"

"Why did I take them? It looks like you are still sleepy. In due time, you will understand," he replied and turned around again to shut the doors of the inner wardrobe before pushing the outer door close.

As her eyes shifted back to her clothes again, there was only one reason for his action that came to her mind.

Being aware that he had no women\'s dress fetish, she came to a conclusion confidently.

Resting her gaze on him, her pink lips parted as she spoke softly, "Was this how you survived my absence?"

She could remember asking him how he survived without her scent when she returned from Paris, but his response wasn\'t straightforward.

Now, things were clear as she already had the answer right in front of her.

He had taken some of her clothes that still had her scent on them.

To that question she asked, she got a smack at the center of her forehead instead of a response.

"Ah!" She screamed as her palm immediately flew to that spot to massage it.

Her entire face was contoured in pain as she glared daggers at him.

Fang Bingwen retreated his fingers after flicking her forehead. "Finally, your brain is working."

"Bully! I will report you to your grandmother," Zhang Liling threatened immediately as she stared at him with a grievance.

"You don\'t have her number, should I give it to you?" He teased as a subtle of a smile hung at the corners of his lips.

He seemed to be having a lot of fun teasing her on a normal working day of his life.

Life truly wouldn\'t be complete without fun.

Ignoring him, Zhang Liling turned to leave in anger, but just then, she heard his voice from behind.

"Next time, don\'t step out of your rooms in your pajamas. You look like a Disney Princess right now," Mr. Fang teased as he slipped his hands inside the front pockets of his trousers.

"Are you just finding out now? I am a Disney Princess on the lookout for my prince charming," Zhang Liling retorted while briefly sparing him a glance before turning to continue in her steps furiously.

"Hahaha..." A chuckle escaped his lips as his eyes followed her. "Do you need help?" He asked as he immediately followed after her, but he got no response in the end.

During breakfast that morning, Zhang Liling was surprised to find out that Mr. Fang had no intentions of going to work that day.

After eating, he immediately went into his study after explaining that he would work from home.

Without knowing that he worked between his study and his perfume laboratory, Zhang Liling stayed back in her bedroom to arrange some business-related matters.

When the time for work hours was over, Bolin stopped by with some stack of documents and after spending an hour in Mr. Fang\'s study, he left.

*******

Over the next several days, Mr. Fang pulled an all-nighter ahead of his company\'s new perfume launch.

And a week before D-day, an announcement was released to the public concerning it, which became the talk of the town.

Two days before the new perfume launch, Mr. Fang personally got Zhang Liling a new dress and a new set of jewelry so she could finally stop wearing the other necklace over and over again.

This very gift put a smile on Zhang Liling\'s face and she couldn\'t help but embrace him.

Later during dinner, she asked about the perfume launch and the location. It was hard not to pay attention to matters that concerned him and added to the advertisement going off about the new perfume, Black L\'Intense.

"There is no need to worry too much, it\'s going to be a simple event with a few press present. I will send the driver to bring you to the event center, there is no need to go on your own."

"I\'m a bit nervous though..." Zhang Liling admitted with a small smile.

"Take a deep breath,"  Fang Bingwen grinned.

Although this would be her second public appearance with him, it was totally different from the first, where there was no media attention.

But if she would be attending as a guest, then things will be different.

"I think I will be fine. Tomorrow, I\'m going out to take care of my skin. I have to look my best at the first company event you are inviting me to after all." She giggled to herself as her shoulders rose.

Fang Bingwen was in support and even added, "Tell me if you need anything,"

Finally, D-day arrived...

~The Tang Residence~

Around 4 in the evening, Tang Enlai returned from work and went straight to the shower.

Half an hour later, he emerged into the room dressed in a black suit with a white shirt inside.

Suddenly, he paused in his steps when he saw Zhang Xiaoling sitting on the couch, but then he went on to ignore her while trying to fix the customized cufflinks as he matched forwarded.

Seeing him come into the room and ignore her even after their gazes had met, Zhang Xiaoling felt a sting in her heart.

Rising to her feet, she set her pride aside, and asked in a calm demeanor, "Where are you going to?"

"Don\'t you know what\'s going on today?" Tang Enlai asked as he went to sit at the foot of the bed as he tried to fix his necktie and the collar of his shirt.

At least he was talking to her instead of totally ignoring her.
