Mr. Fang's Feisty Mistress

Mr. Fang's brows creased further in a tight frown.

"Zhang Liling, don't say anything about liking me again. I don't want to hear your heart confessions. You are only permitted to say that when I see your final grades."

There was a moment of awkward silence as soon as the last word left his lips.

Zhang Liling didn't agree with him, but she knew better than to say anything at the moment.

There was a time to retort, and there was also a time to be quiet, all these she had known. Studying the timing for any act was important.

Chuanli had to do the honour of breaking the silence and stirring the conversation.

"Mr. Fang, how were you able to sit comfortably with your date without being disturbed by her scent?"

Mr. Fang's face finally relaxed at he sat laid back on his chair. "I took 4 pills before coming here."

Zhang Liling looked surprised. 'Wasn't taking 4 pills of his medication at once dangerous?'

To that disturbing thought, Chuanli gave a response.

"Bingwen, that is drug overdose! You have to be careful to not get addicted to your meds, and this is not if you are not already addicted."

Chuanli was really worried about his health.

Mr. Fang didn't look like he cared much. He even picked up Chuanli's wine glass and wanted to drink from it, but resisted the urge at last.

"Were you expecting me to become irritated and angered by her scent. I could even tell that she used too much perfume. Even after taking 4 pills of the drugs, my sense of smell wasn't totally blocked out."

Chuanli sighed. Glancing at Zhang Liling whose face looked a little concerned, he wanted to say something, but knew that it wasn't a good place.

"Bingwen, you have to come to my office tomorrow. You are abusing your drugs, and since you are a little addicted to it, we have to start a therapy for you."

"What's the use of a therapy when I will end up taking more than 2 pills if I get uncomfortable with smells? Also, why did you give me this meds that makes me want to overdose on it?" Mr. Fang asked in an annoyed tone.

What's the purpose of the drug if the normal daily dose wouldn't be enough to do the job he needed it in the first place?

Chuanli understood his annoyance, but he still couldn't condole the abuse. "It is my duty to help you in every way that I can. Now, I can see how serious this is, as it's getting out of hand. I will try to speed up the experiment and research."

Hearing that, Mr. Fang frowned, "Are you trying to tell me that you have not been taking this matter serious?"

Chuanli shook his head. "I meant that I will hand over more of my duties to other doctors, while I take full charge with your concern. Also, I am happy that your addiction is not chronic, otherwise, we would have a problem here."

Mr. Fang sighed and looked away as the folds on his face slowly evened out.

'How am I supposed to get married with this condition? Am I destined to be frustrated for life?'

For a brief moment, Zhang Liling was able to catch the sorrow in his eyes, but when he turned his attention to her and their gaze met, he narrowed his eyes at her.

Quickly looking back to her food, she moved her spoon and continued to eat.

Mr. Fang had misunderstood her gaze of concern. He thought she was trying to remind him that she was here for him since she looked to be the only one whose scent didn't affect him.

Before Zhang Liling and Chuanli could finish eating, the rain started with a drizzle, but because of the interior of where they were, they didn't hear the sound of rain.

"Stop eating like a chicken!" He said to the both of them with a frown.

"I'm done!" Zhang Liling said and immediately put her spoon down.

Chuanli on ther otherhand, finished the juice in his glass before putting it down. "I don't want to waste my money, as it is difficult to earn." He said.

Mr. Fang snorted.

Chuanli turned to Zhang Liling to ask, "Can you drive?"

Zhang Liling pointed at herself with her brows draw downwards in a slight confusion. "Me? I can drive."

Mr. Fang interrupted the exchange between them immediately. "Why are you asking her about it?"

"I saw you drinking? How will you get home?" Chuanli asked in return.

Mr. Fang looked to Zhang to say, "Does she look like someone with a driving license?"

Chuanli followed his gaze and asked, "Miss Zhang, do you have a driver's license?."

Zhang Liling shook her head. "I don't have one because I haven't driven a car before."

"..."

Mr. Fang was dumbfounded.

"What?!" Chuanli was left shocked beyond measure.

Zhang Liling didn't get why they were staring at her like that. She even had a confused look on her face.

"Miss Zhang, how is it possible that you know how to drive without ever having driven a car before?" Chuanli asked.

He really wanted to know how she reasoned at the moment.

Zhang Liling finally understood as she saw them staring at her that way. "Dr. Li, it's possible to know how to do something without having to try it out first. Just by watching is enough."

"Sorry, but you don't have the road experience to drive my friend home. When you have at least. 2-year daily driving experience, we can consider you." Chuanli said and leaned back on his seat. He was never going to repeat his words again.

Mr. Fang leaned in to whisper to him, "Remind me not to leave my life in her hands."

'With her rash and feisty nature, she is more than capable of taking a life.' Mr. Fang thought to himself.

At the end, one of the bodyguards from home came to drive them back home.

Without fear, Zhang Liling entered the backseat of the car to seat beside Mr. Fang.

The man glared at her, and she returned a sweet smile to him.
