Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

Zhang Xiaotong's brows got cringed as her eyes showed the redness of fury at the corners. "What do you mean? Are you purposely making me embarrass here?"

Given her family name Zhang, anyone would have crouched back in hesitation, but Gao Fan's expression didn't waver. Looking all confident and rightful in his stance, he said, "That could never be my intention. I had just let you know the truth. Arranging a meeting with President Feng at the moment is not possible."

He said and his tone came out with all firmness, making Zhang Xiaotong frown more.

"What do you mean?" She asked, trailing her gaze towards the receptionist before bringing it back to Gao Fan, waiting to hear the reason. She just hoped the reason which the secretary had today be different from the other days, or else she would just lose herself. Lose her last hope with which she has come here today.

Gao Fan tucked his hands in the pockets of his dress pants before saying, "President Feng is not in the company. He has kept his schedule free today for his family." He said and Zhang Xiaotong's brows tugged together in confusion.

"Family? Isn't his family gathering next week?" If she has remembered it rightly, her mother has clearly stated that the relatives have called to invite her for the next week. Or has her mother lied to keep her away? If that's so, she would have to hurry before she misses her chance.

Zhang Xiaotong was ready to put wheels under her heels when heard the receptionist from the side.

"Ahh, no, no, his family means his wife and daughter. He has never cared to keep his relatives above his work." The receptionist said on a whim but when felt a cold glare coming her way, her words paused as she turned to look at Gao Fan with a scare. She knew she had become a big mouth to reveal that, but will that mean she has to pay it with her job? She won't be able to afford it.

Before the receptionist could apologize for her big mouth, Gao Fan turned away from her to look at Zhang Xiaotong to say, "We are sorry for the inconvenience today. But if it's for the proposal, you can leave the details here. Later we will forward it to President Feng." He said and his tone, as well as words at once, dismissed every story from before.

Zhang Xiaotong understood his intention as well. Though she wasn't satisfied with it, she knew well that in no way she would be able to change it. So, giving in for once, she nodded then without saying anything took her steps out of the company. In her heart, she has already taken a wrong impression of Gao Fan and has as well pledged that sooner or later she would surely make him pay for today's behavior.

Reaching out, she was about to give a call to her driver when her eyes caught the sight of her assistant hurrying her way to her. Her brows wrinkled as she asked, "Why are you here?"

Panting in her breath, Lillian quickly took her chance to reply, "I … I am here for you. E-Earlier Mrs. Zhang called me and asked to follow you around. Why didn't you let me know that you were coming here?" Although Lillian was just an assistant to Zhang Xiaotong, she was also the one who has followed her around for most of the time. So, after spending so much time with her she has slowly developed a casual side with her.

"I was getting late so left early. Anyway, call the driver now, we need to hurry back." Zhang Xiaotong ordered before keeping her phone back in her bag.

Though Lillian failed to understand the situation, she still pulled her phone out to make the call. Once done she turned to the woman to ask, "What happened here? Are we going back to Zhang mansion?"

Zhang Xiaotong shook her head. "No, we would be going to meet Brother FenFen at his place. I heard that he will be spending his today there. I am sure he will definitely have time to meet me today." She said, as right at that moment, the car arrived and she speeded up to get inside the car.

Lillian followed her suit as well but the tug on her brows was saying that she was still confused.

"What happened? Is there something that you want to tell me?"

Lillian hesitated a bit at first but then taking the risk she asked, "Are you sure that President Feng is at home. I mean we all know that he has got a workaholic attitude and he even come to the office at weekends, but since he is not here today; why would he be at home. He might have some other plans?"

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Xiaotong asked even though she could already guess about the thing Lillian was talking about.

"I mean earlier when I was coming, I heard someone in the parking saying that President Feng has taken the weekend off for his family. He might be going to the amusement park to accompany his wife and daughter." The assistant said and her eyes squinted more and more in fear of hearing a lash out.

And as she has thought, she got one as well. But the reason behind the lash was different. Something that she has overlooked on the impulse.

"Who are you calling as his wife and daughter? Do you also believe in the rumors?" Zhang Xiaotong yelled, suppressing her urge to thrash something on the floor. And her tone was like that almost made the poor assistant flinch.

Coughing her discomfort out, Lillian quickly tried to coax, defending her stance as well. She truly didn't think of it like that. On a whim, she has just said out what she has heard earlier.

"I- I was not saying that. I just imitated to say what I have heard. Nothing else."

She said and hearing her accept the fault, finally, Zhang Xiaotong felt her anger easing. Taking a deep breath in, she comforted herself. Then recovering from it, she asked, "Which amusement park have they gone to?"
