Mr. Fang's Feisty Mistress

"Sir, will Miss Zhang continue to stay in your villa until she finishes her exams?" Bolin asked curiously.

Finally, Mr. Fang took a notice of his too many questions.

"What is wrong with you today? Why are you asking too many questions?"

Bolin quickly apologized before changing the directions of his questions from Zhang Liling to the new housekeeper.

"Sir, do you have any special requirements about the new housekeeper?"

"I want someone experienced in age and in skills. I didn\'t ask you to get me an old woman." Mr. Fang said, emphasizing on the \'old woman\' part.

Zhang Liling made sure to have her breakfast on time before leaving for school. By the time she came out for her breakfast, Mr. Fang had already left.

When she heard about it from the butler, that was when she remembered that she left out a few things that she was supposed to do that morning.

But thankfully, she did her major job, and that was to tidy up Mr. Fang\'s bedroom when he was working out in the gym.

Quickly having her breakfast, she called a cab to wait outside the gates, so that by the time she finished eating and reached there, he would already be waiting for her.

Surpringly today, Mr. Fang\'s class, was the one her department had today.

What a good way to mark the last day of his class, and theirs as well.

Zhang Liling didn\'t go straight to school, she stopped at a flower store and went in to buy a fresh bouquet, while making the driver wait for her.

She had the money to pay for the extra charges, so that wasn\'t a problem for her.

Now aware of Mr. Fang\'s scent issues, she was very careful of the kind of flowers she picked. She picked one that had a mild scent, then she paid for it and had it packaged before leaving with it.

This was her gift to Mr. Fang for the time being. She knew that most of the students were going to get flowers and gifts for Mr. Fang to say goodbye to him officially, so she had to get something as well.

Knowing fully well that Mr. Fang would never accept the gifts from his students, she didn\'t want to waste her time to get something else for him.

A flower would be better even if he doesn\'t take it at the end.

As for a real gift, she would gift him something personally, after today.

Arriving at school, Zhang Liling saw some students holding gift bags and flowers, and a smile crept up on her face.

She knew that most of them would be her classmates, while others would be students from other departments, also wanting to gift something to Mr. Fang.

Today was Mr. Fang\'s last class, and probably his last day at NYU, unless there would be another contract and collaboration to be a guest lecturer at NYU in the future.

Today, Zhang Liling was very grateful to Tungmei for coming early to keep seats for them. Because the kind of crowd she saw in the lecture hall today, was something else.

Not that she was not used to it, but the fact that she was 30 minutes early and the hall was already filled with students, her classmates to be precise.

Looking around at the hall, her jaw almost dropped.

How enthusiast of them coming so early to await Mr. Fang.

"Liling!" Tungmei called out from the second row and waving her hand above her head.

With that crowd, she doubted that she would be able to find her so easily, hence she made things easier for her.

Zhang Liling followed the direction of her familiar voice and saw her waving at her and smiled, before making her way to that direction.

Just before she could sit on the seat preserved for her, her gaze met Shu Rushi\'s. The latter rolled her eyes at her and looked away.

Zhang Liling ignored her before seating. Smiling at Tungmei, she said, "It looks like I have to thank you properly for coming out here early to get seats for us."

"I bet you never expected to see this number of students by this time." Tungmei chuckled.

"I am indeed very shocked. Also, Shu Rushi is here on time. My God! The world must be changing and about to leave me behind." Zhang Liling joked.

She was more surprised to see that Shu Rushi was there already.

"It looks like everyone loves Mr. Fang more than you do." Tungmei said which lead Zhang Liling to ask with a narrowed gaze.

"Do you have eyes on Mr. Fang just like the others?"

Tungmei detected the threat in her tone and gaze and couldn\'t help chuckling. "You are crazy! I am always here to get seats on time for us because I know how much you like Mr. Fang."

Tungmei said the last part in a low whisper. The hall was a bit noisy with their other coursemates chattering, but she wanted to be careful so her seat neighbours wouldn\'t hear her.

Hearing her say that, Zhang Liling relaxed her mind. Well, it\'s not like she was bothered about it because she already knew the reason Tungmei comes to class on time.

Actually, Tungmei was always in school on time. If there was any day she came late, then that would mean that something serious had happened to her.

"What did you buy for Mr. Fang?" Zhang Liling probed.

She couldn\'t see any bouquet on her desk and was already curious about it.

Other classmate had bouquets on their desk or probably a gift bag, but Tungmei\'s desk was empty.

Tungmei sighed and unzipped her backpack before taking out a stick of red artificial rose that was wrapped in a transparent plastic.

"Hehehe...hahahaha..." The sound of loud laughter escaped Zhang Liling\'s lips, which attracted a little attention to her from the other students.

Tungmei was embarrassed by her laughter and had to put back the flower before zipping her backpack.

"Liling, you are really something..." She said with a slight frown.

Zhang Liling covered her mouth and laughed a little more before finding her voice. "I\'m sorry, but you are so funny."

"How so?"

"How could you only get a stick of fake rose for Mr. Fang?" Zhang Liling asked in a low tone.

Tungmei shrugged, "it\'s not like I\'m stingy. I thought hard about not wasting my money on a teacher whom I want to appreciate, but would most probably reject our gifts, and wanted to save my money. I still need money to feed after blacklisting my father\'s contact. I can\'t starve while studying for exams, I have to be prudent with my resources now."
