Chapter 385 Last Day
"Jasmine, An Na, Kai this Aunty Ling she bought those presents. Say hello to her." Jia Li motioned to the children.
Glancing at Zhang Liling, Jasmine led her siblings to acknowledge her presence.
"Hello, Aunty Ling. Thank you for the gifts."
Hearing their lovely voices plus their curious gazes while staring at her, Zhang Liling cued like a child and went to squat in front of the twins.
Taking their hands, she squeezed them gently while staring happily at them.
"It\'s my pleasure."
Saying that, she glanced at Jasmine and blew her a kiss.
"You are all so beautiful!"
Zhang Liling couldn\'t but compliment their good looks once again.
"Thank you," Jasmine replied with a small smile before going to sit next to her father.
Seeing their elder sister next to their father, the twins quickly let go of their mother\'s hands and ran over.
"Daddy!"
"Hahaha..." Watching the twins, Zhang Liling couldn\'t help chuckling softly as she rose to her feet.
"Kids, you haven\'t greeted Uncle Bingwen yet," Jia Li said after the kids seeing them running to fight over their father.
Hearing their mother\'s voice, the children all turned their attention to Fang Bingwen who had been sitting quietly and watching them fight to sit by their father\'s side.
Quickly, Fu Hua took the cue to formally introduce Fang Bingwen to them.
"Kids this is Uncle Bingwen, he is Aunty Ling\'s... Umm... Husband. He is her husband. Say Hello to him."
Fu Hua couldn\'t tell the young children that Fang Bingwen was Zhang Liling\'s fiancé because the twins wouldn\'t understand and in the end, they would get curious with that term and continue asking questions he might not know all the answers to.
So explaining to them in a way they would understand, was the best.
\'They are married like daddy and mommy?\' The twins thought as their gazes swiftly moved from Fang Bingwen to Zhang Liling after acknowledging his presence.
Seeing the ring on Zhang Liling\'s finger, they believed their father\'s word before continuing to fight to sit beside him.
Being the grown up, Jasmine left her father right side to let one of the twins sit there while the other stayed by his right side.
Seeing the entire family of five and their little cute interactions, Zhang Liling went back to her seat in hopes that one day, she would have children so grown up like that.
As the adults were done talking about business and serious matters, they went into the family topic.
"When are you having your wedding?" Fu Hua inquired after making sure the children were not paying attention to him.
He couldn\'t let them catch him telling lies.
"We haven\'t talked about it, but it will be soon. When we decide on the date, you will be the first person to receive our invitation card," Fang Bingwen replied.
"Not bad. Get ready to welcome us." Fu Hua said with a smirk.
At the moment, Zhang Liling\'s thoughts were driven towards a certain direction. Although she was interested about the wedding matters, something more had taken more than half of her attention.
She was thinking about the offer Jia Li had laid down for her.
This was a big opportunity that would open doors for Glint and in that sense, her brand should be ready to carry the weight of the attention then, and that means she needed funds.
Speaking of funds, she glanced at Fang Bingwen to see him still chatting with Fu Hua.
As this was the last time getting together with the Fu\'s, Zhang Liling decided to pause with her thoughts and invest everything she had into the conversation.
Around 8 pm, it was time to leave.
Zhang Liling Liling made sure to give Jia Li a tight hug after she and Fu Hua walked then to the car.
"Liling, I hope the next time we will meet would be at your wedding." Jia Li said while releasing her from the hug.
Stealing a glance at Fang Bingwen, Zhang Liling replied, "I hope so too."
"Good. Have a safe trip back to S City." Jia Li said as she watched her get into the car.
"Bye." Waving her hand, Zhang Liling blew a kiss through the window as the car\'s engine lit up.
"Bye," Jia Li waved back to her with a beautiful smile in her face.
Finally, the car left the Fu Hua\'s residence and hit the road.
A long sigh escaped Zhang Liling\'s lips as her face filled with a satisfied smile, glowed in the dark night.
"I can see how fulfilled you are." Fang Bingwen commented.
"Yes, and I have only you to thank."
Saying that, Zhang Liling flashed him a quiet smile before leaning in close to kiss his lips gently.
Leaning away, she said, "Thank you."
"Anything for you." Fang Bingwen said while patting her head.
Returning to their hotel room, Zhang Liling freshened up before climbing into Mr. Fang\'s bed and surprisingly, he did not scold her or tell her off.
Instead after getting out of the bathroom in his pyjamas, he only swept his gaze past her to glance at the nightstand before walking toward it to adjust the light.
Raising the duvet, he climbed into the bed and as he laid his head on the pillow, he stretched out his arm to pull the little woman into his embrace for a good night sleep.
The next morning, Zhang Liling woke up a little late and by the time she was done freshening up, breakfast was already served for her.
"Our flight takes off by 4 pm, is there any where you would like to go today?" Fang Bingwen asked while taking off the covers from the plate to reveal the appetizing breakfast he had ordered for her.
Taking her seat on the dining table set, Zhang Liling\'s gaze hovered over the several dishes before her.
"How about we go for a swim at the beach?" She suggested.
Immediately he heard that, he rolled his eyes at her and took a seat across from her.
"You must be joking."
Zhang Liling met his gaze as she asked, "I thought we were good? Why can\'t we go for a swim?"
Without wasting time, Fang Bingwen made his reason known as light as day.
"Each time you dress up to leave the house, I used to be tensed because of your outfit, but knowing that you want to participate in an activity that would show your body to others in the name of swimming, I won\'t accept it."
Picked up his fork, he added, "Say something else."
A soft sigh escaped Zhang Liling\'s lips.
He was the one that made an offer to her and now when she had said what she wanted, he wasn\'t going to let her have it.
Having no strength to argue with him, Zhang Liling compromised.
"How about we rent the private swimming area here for two hours if you don\'t want others to see me half naked?"
\'Half-naked, are you proud of yourself?\' Fang Bingwen was speechless.
Seeing the way she said things like that so freely from her lips, he couldn\'t help but to blame the country she grew up in, or what was he that conservative?
What the problem was, Fang Bingwen didn\'t what his woman being seen by others in that kind of clothes.
At last, Mr. Fang agreed to rest the private swimming area for her. He couldn\'t ruin their fun as this was their last day, he had to make it more memorable for her.
Seeing the track records on their first day in the city from they first went to FJ to see Jia Li and Fu Hua and up till this moment, he had to keep it going.
As Zhang Liling did not make earlier preparations for swimming, she had to go for a little shopping to get a swim wear before dragging her fiancé to join her at the pool area.
"Mr. Fang, you have to join me in here." Zhang Liling said as she swam to the edge of the pool looking all sultry in her swimwear.
Watching the man reading a newspaper, she found him boring and pushed for him to join her. She had at least made sure that he got some rest while on this trip with her.
"No way. Enjoy yourself." Fang Bingwen said without bringing down the newspaper, but how could Zhang Liling let him be? Her middle name was trouble.
Smiling to herself, she used her palm to sweep some of the water from the pool and spread it on him.
Feeling the splash on the newspaper, Fang Bingwen quickly brought it down to see the little woman giggling at him.
"Zhang Liling!"
As he was calling her name, she was splashing more water on him.
Jumping back into the pool properly, she said as her head came up from the water. "Catch me if you can!"
She was challenging him to come into the water and take revenge on her, and he nodded in acceptance.
"You will be the one begging me soon." Fang Bingwen promised while pointing at her.
"It doesn\'t matter. I got a new pair of shorts for you. It\'s in the bag, put it on and come in here for a fight."
