Chapter 435 3 Days

"Why is she so late today?" Zhang Mingyu said to himself as he stepped into his office

Mikayla was never late for work, and that made him a little anxious when he didn't see her at her desk, especially now that something huge was going on between them.

Unknown to him, she wouldn't clock in that day as she had taken a sick leave the previous day.

When he found out, it was already past lunch break time.

********

As Fang Bingwen had promised, he sent Dr. Li to Glint to get those DNA items from Zhang Liling but before that, he made a clear warning to him.

"Don't you dare spend anything longer than 5 minutes at Glint. I don't think there will be any need for you to sit and chat with her."

Hearing the instructions from him, Chuanli chuckled hard.

"I haven't spoken to your wife since the wedding day and now you are giving me clear orders to stay away from her when you are asking for my help. Mr. Fang, you are very funny. Why didn't you go to a police academy instead of going to a business school?"

At the end, he didn't get any response as Fang Bingwen terminated the call.

Sighing to himself, he diverted to his right on the express. He was already on his way to the hospital when his call came in so there was still an opportunity to meet Zhang Liling before stepping into his office.

With his task in mind, he floored the accelerator while listening to a hit song.

Getting to Glint, he was taken directly to Zhang Liling's office.

Stepping into the comfy room, he couldn't stop himself from praising her.

"Wow! Mrs. Fang has this space of her own and she had never once invited me to come see her hard work pay off."

"Welcome, Dr. Li."

Smiling from ear to ear, Zhang stepped out from her behind her desk and walked over to give him a handshake before gesturing for him to sit.

"I thought you would be busy seeing patients hence, I didn't disturb you about it."

Taking the seat behind her desk, she immediately called for someone to serve a cup of tea and some cookies to him before continuing with their conversation.

"You shouldn't have bothered with this. Your husband gave me only five minutes to spend here."

"Does he now control your schedule?" Zhang Liling smiled.

Itching closer as he moved his butt out from the seat a bit, he replied, "It started today. Well, leave him."

Leaning on the chair, he waved the topic away since it was not important. It's not like he was worried about what Mr. Fang would do if he found out that he spent more than 5 minutes with his wife.

Soon, the snacks and tea was served to him and right there, Zhang Liling thought of something and decided to use this golden opportunity to do it.

"Dr. Li, are you seeing someone currently?"

"No way. I am not interested in women." Chuanli replied as he picked up a piece of cookie and took a big bite.

"You are not interested in my gender?" Hearing his response, Zhang Liling's eyes widened in shock.

Seeing her reaction, Chuanli knew she had misunderstood his words and chuckled over it.

"Hahaha... Don't think too much. I only meant that I am not interested in dating at the moment because of the important research topic I just took on."

"You are that busy?" Raising a questioning brow, she continued. "I thought with my husband getting off your neck because of the meds that will make his senses whole, you would have a lot of time to yourself."

Hearing her thoughts, he was reminded about his friends condition and immediately talked about it.

"That reminds me, since you two got married, Bingwen had stopped coming to me. Also, he hasn't complained about his meds. I guess spending the night together has helped him in many ways."

"I think so too. Maybe because I always sleep next to him at night, and spend the morning together my scent gets on him, so he doesn't have to complain that much during the day.

Also, he takes his meds once a day when he is at work. When he comes home, he doesn't touch it."

Zhang Liling had been taking note of Fang Bingwen's habits and had since discovered how much he had changed especially with him being picky.

Remembering all the rules she had to follow as his housekeeper back then, she couldn't help feeling glad with his new health condition.

He was indeed very picky in the past.

"That's a relief on his own part, but then, I ended up being the one to lose such a potential customer." Chuanli complained.

Knowing how much Fang Bingwen used to invest in his research, he was now going to miss it since the man didn't have any need to pursue the project any more.

With him gone, he was going to miss all that money.

"Do you want me to rat you out?" Zhang Liling threatened.

Leaning in, she raised her brows repeatedly.

"Ah! How can you be so mean. Have you forgotten how I made you end up with Bingwen? Are you going to turn around and bite me now?" Chuanli joked with a fake serious expression on his face.

"I won't for old times sake, but don't try to play my husband." Giving off the good wife vibes, Zhang Liling leaned away and picked up her cup of tea to drink from it.

She ended up spending an extra ten minutes talking about a few things with Chuanli until Fang Bingwen's call that came into his phone put an end to their conversation.

Without wasting time, Zhang Liling handed over the plastic bag over to him. Explaining to him how she wanted the test to run plus how many DNA results she wanted, she let him leave.

Leaving Glint, it was only then that Chuanli was able to answer Fang Bingwen's call.

Taking the plastic bag, Dr. Li Chuanli made a few calls before returning to his hospital. Before stepping into his office, he went over to another doctor's office to talk about the DNA tests they had to do.

As soon as they were done talking, work started, but then, Chuanli had to make sure that he reported back to Fang Bingwen who was waiting.

"So, how long will it take?" Mr. Fang Inquired.

"Five days." Li Chuanli replied.

"Make it 3 days." Fang Bingwen informed.

Hearing his demands, he let out a deep sigh. "Why do you need it in such a short time? You don't need then now do you?"

"I don't need them now, but it also shouldn't stay that long outside. Chuanli, try your best. I want those results in 3 days because it is important." Fang Bingwen insisted.

Although the reason he wanted to the result had not get come near, it was still risky to let such material linger outside for a long time.

Five days was too much hence, he insisted on the time frame of 72 hours he had given.

Doing his best to understand the situation, Chuanli gave his word before their conversation came to an end.

As soon as he ended the call, Fang Bingwen picked out a contact from his phone and sent a text message.

'Take a step outside and give me a call.'

On the other side of the City, at the Zhang Residence, Secretary Cha was busy discussing something when she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket, causing the woman to be annoyed.

Frowning with that little noise distracting her speech, Shi Wenqian glared at her.

Immediately, secretary Cha quickly apologized with a deep bow.

"I'm sorry Ma'am, it must be my family reminding me to send them money."

"They must really see you as a money making machine." Shi Wenqian scoffed.

Without giving her the chance to continue on that topic by trying to explain or answer her, she continued with what she was saying.

"We need to visit the factory before the wedding. Prepare for us to leave this weekend."

"Ma'am, will the young master come with us? What about the Miss?" Secretary Cha inquired while trying to get some information from her.

"Did I mention them to you? Xiaoling should stay out of this matter as it is not yet time to rope her in. As for Mingyu, he should focus on his wedding. You can leave." Shi Wenqian said, chasing her away.

She sounded a bit annoyed, but it didn't get to the degree of her glaring up.

Turning her head to the side, she had a new problem to think about after being reminded about it.

Since the last act Zhang Xiaoling pulled when she took them to the factory, she had never tried taking her there again.

For now, she shouldn't do it at least.

While thinking about how to connect Zhang eto her businesses, she got a call from one of her underlings.
