Mr. Fang's Feisty Mistress

Zhang Liling didn't need to ask to know why she was being stared at that way. She already knew she has caused a lot of trouble for him. She looked very guilty as she glanced at him before shifting her gaze to the floor.

She had already stopped pacing around since he got close to the foot of the stairs.

Bolin didn't want to talk to her because her singular act, had made him look incapable as Mr. Fang's personal assistant.

If he didn't have an important instruction for her, he wouldn't have bothered to stop in his steps.

"When Mr. Fang's doctor, Dr. Li arrives, ask the butler to send him up."

It wouldn't be wise for Zhang Liling to send Chuanli up given the trouble she was in.

If Mr. Fang should catch sight of her or hear her voice, that would bring more trouble. Besides, she was not in the position to continue with her work since she was getting sacked anyway.

Zhang Liling nodded before giving him a deep bow as an apology. "Mr. Bolin, I'm sorry for dragging you into this."

Bolin sighed before taking the stairs. It was not going to be easy to forgive her, and forgiving her would be based on the kind of punishment he will receive from his boss.

Zhang Liling was guilt-stricken seeing the way he ignored her. She didn't think that her actions would be dragging innocent people into trouble, because that thought never crossed her mind.

While climbing the stairs, Bolin made a call to the security to let Chuanli pass through once he arrives.

Chuanli who was on his way to Mr. Fang's villa in the middle of the night was filled with excitement. There was a big smile on his face as he drummed his fingers on the steering and hummed along to the POP song playing on the radio.

The only thing on his mind was getting to Mr. Fang's house to see that female student for himself, and push the former so the experiment could go on.

Mr. Fang had to give permission before he could get the information, he needed from Zhang Liling directly.

Inside Mr. Fang's study, Bolin was being scolded harshly.

The young man just had his gaze lowered and remained quiet. When last was he seriously scolded like this? That should be around the time he first started working for Mr. Fang.

During those times, he used to get scolded a lot and was forced to learn the hard way. But since he picked up, he has been careful not to make any major mistakes, but who knew he had to make a huge mistake soon.

He directly employed a ticking time bomb that was causing his capabilities and expertise to be questioned at the moment.

Coming out from his deep regrets, he heard Mr. Fang's angry voice. "What if she is a spy, is this how easy it would have been to get me?"

This time around, Bolin apologized. "Sir, I apologize for my mistake. I'm to be blamed for being pressed for time and having no chance to carry out another investigation after I got Miss Zhang's information from that agency. Also, I didn't know Miss Zhang was your student as I haven't been paying attention to it."

Bolin has really not been paying attention to the students at NYU, and those Mr. Fang taught. Even when the incident of Zhang Liling fainting and Mr. Fang carrying her to the clinic, he didn't pay close attention to find out and take note of her name.

The incident was partially his fault as he didn't take note of some important details. His negligence turned those insignificant details into something major.

Mr. Fang just glared at him and snorted. He has been furious for over an hour now, and it was starting to make him lose his cool. It was time to take a breather.

Since he wasn't saying anything, Bolin was also not saying anything. He had just apologized and explained himself, he only had to wait for his verdict now.

Chuanli who had just arrived at the villa in his sports car. He stepped out of his car and swiftly made his way to the entrance, where the butler was waiting to take him to Mr. Fang's study.

Zhang Liling had relayed Bolin's instruction to butler Gu, and when he received the call from the security post, he confirmed Chuanli's identity, and they let him drive in.

"Dr. Li, do you mind a glass of water?" Butler Gu offered in a polite tone.

Chuanli waved his hands in rejection. "That wouldn't be necessary, take me straight to Mr. Fang."

What water? He was too excited and impatient to drink water. He didn't want to waste any more seconds.

But if he knew he was going to do a lot of talking and put a lot of effort into convincing Mr. Fang to let Zhang Liling continue to work as his domestic helper, he would have gladly accepted that glass of water.

Butler Gu led him toward the stairs, and there, they met the nervous Zhang Liling who was very restlessly about at the foot of the stairs at the moment.

Apart from the time she left to find the butler, she has been there all this while.

When Chuanli saw her face, he knew she was the one and his smile became more profound.

"Miss Zhang?" He called out in a friendly tone.

Zhang Liling heard him and turned to fix her gaze on him. She bowed slightly in greeting while looking confused. She didn't know that face and was wondering how he knew her family name. Did Bolin tell him about her?

"So, you are Miss Zhang? This is interesting!" Chuanli said with a suggestive gaze. Before Zhang Liling and the Butler could start thinking about the meaning behind his words, he stretched his hand and offered her a handshake.

"My name is Li Chuanli, I am Mr. Fang's doctor."

Out of respect, Zhang Liling stretched her hand out to shake hands with him while properly introducing herself to him.

"My name is Zhang Liling. I am Mr. Fang's housekeeper but I'm probably about to be sacked."

"What?" Chuanli looked shocked, while the butler standing beside him looked surprised as well. They were both thinking the same thing. Why was she getting sacked, did she do anything wrong?

'Is that the reason she has been pacing around for a while now?' The butler thought.

Chuanli was more shocked because he had come to see Zhang Liling for himself, and talk about the research with Mr. Fang, but she was getting fired already?!
