Chapter 278 Explanation

"What?!!! Mr. Fang is your boyfriend????"

Tungmei couldn't believe her ears and immediately began to bombard her with questions as soon as she recovered a little from the shock.

"How?"

Tungmei: "When did this happen?"

Liling: "A while back"

Tungmei: With eyes protruding from their sockets, she asked, "How did you get close to him?"

"That's a long story," Zhang Liling replied.

Thinking back to how she found her way into his house in the first place and the long journey before she finally won his heart, that was a hell long of a story.

Where would she start from? And even if she did start, when was she going to end?

She was pretty sure her lips would be hurting before she gets halfway through with the story.

Still unable to believe this, Tungmei continued with her interrogation. "What gave you the guts?"

She was very curious about this question. How could she go ahead to date someone who was once their Professor in college?

How did she even manage to get on talking terms with him before reaching the level where they would date?

"Because I loved him so much that I couldn't just let him off,"

Tungmei: "^° °^"

The more she heard, the more she couldn't believe her ears.

Tungmei wished she could see Zhang Liling at that moment and watch her lips spill the backstory behind her relationship with Mr. Fang, to ascertain that she wasn't playing tricks on her.

She had always known back in their college days that her dearest friend had her eyes on Mr. Fang, but that her fantasy would turn into a reality, she wasn't expecting that.

Regardless of her disbelief, Tungmei continued with her questions as Zhang Liling tried to keep up with the response.

"Did you trick him into dating you?"

"How long have you two been dating??"

"Why didn't you tell me about this?"

"Zhang Liling, I am scared of you. You are very crazy!" She admitted at last.

"Hahahaha..." A soft chuckle escaped from Zhang Liling's lips as she reached out to stifle her laughter with her hand. "I only do crazy things," she confirmed.

Zhang Liling seemed to be very proud of her handwork, and as Tungmei started to relax a bit, a sigh of relief fell off her lips.

Maybe she wouldn't get killed, after all, or so she thought.

But when Tungmei asked to meet her in an hour, she hurriedly rejected her idea without a second thought.

"I am afraid to get beaten up!" She said after rejecting her.

"Is there anything else you fear in this world after you dared to pursue a man like Mr. Fang and get him to date you?" Tungmei retorted.

Her voice was hard and a little raised as her emotions at the moment couldn't be hidden.

"Of course, I am very afraid to face you at the moment. Tungmei, we will only meet when I'm sure that you have calmed down," Zhang Liling replied as her eyes glanced over the bowl before her.

Picking up her spoon with the other hand, she moved it against her cereals and discovered they were already soggy.

Sighing, she scooped a spoonful and sent it into her mouth as she listened to the agitated young woman on the other end of the phone.

"And when do you think I will calm down?"

Zhang Liling paused for a while with a thoughtful gaze, "I'm not sure." She shook her head and continued as she scooped another spoonful of cereals, "Maybe on my wedding day."

"You are seriously asking for a beating!"

At the end of their conversation, Tungmei calmed down a lot and got even more interested to know the backstory of her relationship with Fang Bingwen.

And in order to satisfy her curiosity and at the same time make up for keeping her on the sidelines all this while, Zhang Liling divulged the main summary to her.

After listening for a while, Tungmei asked with curiosity laced in her tone, "What does it feel like to be with Mr. Fang?"

"For now, it's sweet and not as challenging as it was at the beginning of our relationship."

Of course, Zhang Liling could not compare the bliss she was enjoying now to how things used to be with her and Fang Bingwen at the very beginning.

With time and as their relationship progressed, changes started to occur as well.

*******

~At the Zhang House~

Currently, there was chaos in the mansion as Zhang Renshu was throwing a fit after seeing the rumors spreading on the internet.

His main rage was concentrated on the rumor of Zhang Liling being Fang Bingwen's mistress.

"She was busy playing the role of someone's mistress when I was here worried about where she had disappeared to???!!!!?"

Shi Wenqian who was sitting next to him at the dining table was equally seething with rage as her fingers curled in a fist.

Earlier, Zhang Renshu and Shi Wenqian had met in the hallway on their way heading to the breakfast table and had ignored each other.

Taking their seats at the dining table, they had not even gained the opportunity to start eating when Zhang Mingyu rushed out, bringing the bad news with him.

"Wow! Dad, do you know that Liling is Fang Bingwen's Mistress?"

He had delivered the news without warning, causing his parents to exclaim in shock.

At first, they did not believe it, but when he showed them the article and some of the comments making rounds on the internet, they were left shocked beyond measure.

At that moment of anger, Zhang Renshu who had been against any member of his family being romantically linked with the Fang Family almost had a heart attack.

Shi Wenqian on the other hand who had forgotten about Zhang Liling and the plans she had for her following her disappearance, felt like the sky came crashing down on her as different possible thoughts began to flood her head.

'That little rat! Has she been hiding in the Fang family all this while?'

There was no other fact to explain her disappearance other than this.
