Chapter 409 Toying With Hearts

*******

It has only been a few hours since Zhang Liling and Fang Bingwen left to another country for their honeymoon.

Paris.

Zhang Liling being a romantic, wanted to have her honeymoon in the City of love.

She didn't mind that she had seen a lot of that place since she basically grew up there.

Also, she wanted to show Fang Bingwen where she lived, the school's she attended and some of her memories there as he had no problem with where she wanted to go for their honeymoon, he just accepted whatever decision she made.

But there was something that made this trip more interesting.

He had received a call after breakfast by one of his men who passed an important information to him.

Before the call ended, he had delivered an important instruction.

"Keep an eye on her and know when to apprehend her."

Not long after the phone conversation, he returned to the bedroom to gather a few things before he set out to the airport with Zhang Liling.

Zhang Liling was unaware of what was going on as her only thoughts were on the places she wanted to show to her husband.

She looked far more excited than him because this was her thing.

As soon and they landed in Paris, the car Song Jujing arranged came to pick them up and take them to the guest house they would be spending a few days in.

As Song Jujing had left to Paris the previous day to finalize the arrangement for their stay, to also handle an emergency project at work, they had that wonderful opportunity of being received properly.

It took less than an hour for the newly married couple to settle down in their new place.

"Honey, do you want to see Glint's make-up factory tomorrow?" Zhang Liling asked as she out away her luggage in the large closet after hanging up her clothes.

"Won't it be tiring to do something tedious like that when we have only arrived after long hours of flight."

They just got out from a 12-hour nonstop flight and this was the middle of the night.

Did she think she would still have the energy to make rounds in the factory instead of sleeping in and trying to adjust to the new environment?

Hearing about his worry gave her a reason to tease him.

Taking slow steps toward, she fold her harms behind her back. Her eyes were like a playground for stars to dance around.

That goes to show just how much excited she was.

"What do you say about us staying all cooped up in this room all day?"

Fang Bingwen scoffed and met her half-way. Stopping in front of her he leaned in to whisper to her ear.

"What do you say about being bedridden till we leave for home?"

Hearing the threat in his tone that had more meaning when pondered on softly, Zhang Liling quickly took a step back in defeat.

"Hahaha... Calm down." She said as her smile slowly died down.

Also, Fang Bingwen took two steps away from her.

"You should wash up first so we can eat and go to sleep."

Twelve hour flight was a big deal and it was uncomfortable too

They didn't get to eat much or enjoy a good sleep while in the plane.

Imagine spending half of your day on something like that. It wasn't fun in any way.

Agreeing with him, Zhang Liling went into the bathroom while Fang Bingwen went to set the table to prepare for their dinner.

The next day, a lot of things were going in the lives of a few people.

For instance, Shi Wenqian was tensed and desperate about something that she had to keep pacing back and forth in her bedroom while clutching her phone in her hands.

When she felt that enough time had passed, she quickly went to her speed dial to contact her secretary.

At the first ring, the call was answered.

"Have you gotten to the factory?" Shi Wenqian asked immediately.

"I am on my way, Ma'am." Secretary Cha replied immediately while glancing at her surrounding through the car window she was sitting on.

From the look of things, it was still early where she was, but back in S City, the day had already brightened long ago.

"Do you know what time it is that you are still on your way by this time? Do you only want to get there when the production is over?!" Shi Wenqian scolded immediately.

She didn't know the reason this right-hand person that belonged to her wouldn't know how serious and important timing was.

Factory workers were known to rise early to start their production on time for the day.

If she doesn't get there on time and they miss this golden opportunity, they would have to wait for a long time before doing something like this again. 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂

All efforts would be wasted and that was exactly what she was trying to prevent.

Hearing the anger in her tone, Secretary Cha quickly explained, "Ma'am, it's not yet 6 AM in Paris. There is a 7 hour difference between here and S Country."

"Are you correcting me now?" Immediately, Shi Wenqian picked offense instead of taking note of the correction she made.

After a little more scolding, she finally focused on the main point.

"You must be smart with the cooperation and make sure to keep me posted at every point. Don't let me call you first."

After the call ended, Shi Wenqian let out a long sigh of relief as she sat at the foot of her bed.

Looking at the painting on her wall, the corners of her lips slowly curled up.

"Everything is beginning to fall in place now, isn't it?"

Saying that, she let out a hearty laughter. "Hahaha..."

Somehow, she didn't get to enjoy that particular moment in full before being called by Mrs. Ong to talk about the engagement party that will be taking place the next day.

"You can come to the venue to decide on a few things together. I will be there in an hour." Mrs. Ong revealed.

"Is that so? Then I will be there." Shi Wenqian replied. Saying a few words more, she dropped her phone.

While the arrangements for his engagement to another woman was being made, Zhang Mingyu was busy hanging out with another woman in a hotel room.

"Mingyu, why are you getting married to another woman? Did you only toy with me for so long to break my heart?" Mikayla asked while tracing her fingers on Zhang Mingyu's bare chest.

Currently, they were both lying in bed with the duvet covering them after a long exercise.

Hearing her claims, a frown appeared on Zhang Mingyu's face. "Who said I toyed with your heart? You know you're the only one I love."

Still, Mikayla was not satisfied with his response. Pouting her lips, she whined.

"You say you love me, but I think otherwise. Why would you marry another woman. I know you never promised to marry me but still, this is too much."

"Mikayla, you know I have no choice but my marriage plans. My parents are the ones to make that decision for me, and I can't refute them since I am basically still living off them. 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚

It's not like I fancy the woman they chose. My marriage to her is businesswise. Don't be angry, nothing will change even if I get married to another person."

Zhang Mingyu did his best to pacify her by spilling whatever thought that came to his mind in a bid to make their relationship continue down the path he already had planned out.

"Still, you have to compensate me for emotional damage. How can I tolerate you being with another woman while I remain hidden in a corner?"

Taking the opportunity now that their love was still waxing strong, Mikayla brought up the topic about compensation to ensure she had enough to herself.

As long as he continued to spoil her, she wouldn't mind even if he was married to some other woman.

On the other hand, Zhang Mingyu was naive to think that she was only jealous and wanted him to show her his sincerity about still keeping her by his side.

Nodding in acceptance, he hugged her and moved the duvet to cover their bodies entirely.

Soon, giggles escaped from their lips as they went on to have another round of fun.

*******

~Paris~

Zhang Liling and Mr. Fang were still sleeping in each others arms when the ringing tone of Mr. Fang's phone reverberated in the room.

"Honey, get your phone " Zhang Liling complained as she rolled off to the other side of the bed while adjusting the duvet to cover her body Witt her eyes still closed.

Hearing her grumbling tone plus the ringing of his phone, Fang Bingwen's flew open and the next moment, he got out of bed.

Glancing at the caller ID displayed on the screen, he picked up his phone and left for the living area after stealing a glance at the little woman.

"Hello." His deep voice greeted and relaxed to listen to the voice at the other end of the phone.

Listening for a while, he nodded his head.

"Do as we talked about before. Tell me when you get to the place." He instructed.
