Chapter 148 Surprised
"Are you surprised?" Chuanli asked as he turned off his car's engine while sparing her a glance.
The words that left Zhang Liling's lips next, caused him to chuckle hard.
"Mr. Fang's grandmother set him up on a date in this hotel, she is really up to date with a handful of information."
"Miss Zhang, I hope your imagination is not going wild?" He asked.
"It already is," She replied and got off the car with a not-so happy expression on her face.
Chuanli also stepped out of the car and threw his car key to the valet before coming to stand beside her.
"Shall we?" Her asked with a smiling gaze on her as he naturally slipped his hands inside the front pockets of his pants.
Zhang Liling's feet remained rooted to the ground as she turned to him to ask with furrowed brows, "Dr. Li, do you think I will be scolded by Mr. Fang? I think I kind of regret coming over at the spur of the moment."
The smile on Chuanli's face immediately disappeared as he brought out his hands from his trouser pockets. "Miss Zhang, it's too late to regret your decision."
With that, he took her hand and walked in with her, without giving her any more room for pondering.
Zhang Liling had no choice but to follow him inside the large hotel space. Luckily, she didn't have to run after him.
With her purse in the other hand, she let him continue to hold onto her other hand, and lead her toward the hotel's restaurant at the 1st floor.
For them to get to the restaurant, they had to take the elevator, and that was when Chuanli finally freed her hand.
Now at the restaurant, Chuanli confirmed their reservation before a waiter was arranged to lead them towards their table. At the time, Zhang Liling was searching for Mr. Fang with her eyes.
Chuanli noticed it and whispered to her while walking in the same pace as her, "Our table is next to Mr. Fang's table, so don't strain your sight?"
Zhang Liling's eyes widened in excitement as she immediately grabbed his arm. "Dr. Li, are you serious?"
Chuanli smiled. "You will see," He said and shifted his gaze to the waiter leading them to their table.
Remembering how smart he was to confirm Mr. Fang's table number from Bolin so he could book the one next to him, he gave himself accolades.
Zhang Liling shrieked inside her head, and if not for where they were, she would have jumped and screamed.
She couldn't believe that asking for Chuanli's help, would lead to this well thought out and orchestrated plans. Now, she couldn't wait to see Mr. Fang and sit next to him.
The hall was quiet big, and it was full of people. Almost every table they passed had guests already sitting on them.
Zhang Liling was very glad that she asked for help. Would she had ever thought about reserving a table?
With all smiles, Zhang Liling let go of Chuanli's arms and followed him to their table, without knowing that a shocked gaze had already been cast on her.
Mr. Fang was sitting with his date and listening to her talk when he saw the familiar figures of the two people he knew.
Because of his sitting position that faced the entrance, it wasn't possible for him not to notice them.
At first, he thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him, but as they came closer, the surprise on his face quickly changed to a frown.
His brows knitted together as he watched Chuanli lean in to whisper something to Zhang Liling's ear that made her smile at him the next moment.historical
'What are they doing here?' He thought.
With his gaze somewhere and his mood suddenly changing, the woman sitting directly opposite of him, stopped chatting.
The woman was beautiful and looked mature. From her makeup, and dressing, it was obvious that she was doing well for herself.
She had a professional makeup on, and her clothes were from expensive brands.
The woman had been very excited the next moment after being surprised when she found out that Mr. Fang was her blindate.
She was thinking that she would meet a short fat-bellied man with brown-stained teeth, but surpringly, she met her spec.
Mr. Fang was everything she wanted in a partner.
But seeing him suddenly look angry, she became worried. "Mr. Fang?" She called out to him in her natural gentle voice.
Mr. Fang immediately retracted his gaze from his doctor and his servant.
What kind of dress was Zhang Liling wearing again? At least, it looked a little bit longer than the one she wore out last. But seeing how the gown was flayed from the waist, his brows creased tightly.
How could she put on that kind of dress on a windy evening like today?
After getting his attention back, his date smiled sweetly at him. "So, Mr. Fang, I was asking what kind of investment you would be making in the future. Will you go into company stocks or dive deeply into real estate?"
Mr. Fang adjusted his reading glasses on the bridge of his nose. He was dressed in an ash-coloired suit with a black tie to match, and on his left wrist sat a silved-plated wristwatch.
His hairstyle was like his usual, making him look mature and sexy. A center for women attention.
"When I am ready to make that kind of move, I will know what to do," He replied.
*******
"Please have your seats. Would you like to place an order now, or should I give you time to decide?" The waiter asked after showing Chuanli and Zhang Liling to their seats.
Zhang Liling was not interested in placing an order although she was hungry. She had been staring at her right side to see if she would find Mr. Fang, but she failed.
"Dr. Li, are you sure that Mr. Fang is here?" She grumbled.
Chuanli picked up one of the menu on the table before replying with a smirk, "Just now, I saw Mr. Fang with all his attention on his date."
As soon as he said that, Zhang Liling tilted her head to the side to look for Mr. Fang again.
