Mr. Fang's Feisty Mistress

Tungmei understood the question in her mind and smiled about it. "You don't believe that I can do something like this?"

"You are usually the innocent one, and the same one less viable to commit a crime, but it looks like I had underestimated you." Zhang Liling said as a smile tugged at the corner of her lips.

"College is over, it is time to unleash my wild side, but you have to relax, because I can be no where near you,"

"Did you have to place an order for a whiskey?" Zhang Liling asked with a low chuckle.

Tungmei retorted, "Did you think the cocktail order you placed was any better? At least I know what I ordered, and I can control the quantity I drink but the same can't go for you."

In essence, Tungmei was trying to tell her that knowing that whiskey was dangerous, was better than not knowing what a harmless cocktail can do to one.

Zhang Liling smiled and replied with an aura that exuded confidence. "I know what cocktails are like. Stuff like Sex-on-the-beach are dangerous, so I am always careful. I can't get drunk today, so I picked something that is likely to make me do so. As for you, if you get drunk, it's over for you!"

Tungmei scoffed and crossed her leg over the other one. "I learned from you if I should get drunk. Anyway, don't throw me out if I do, just take me back to my place."

*********

Tungmei thought she was the one to get drunk, but it ended up being Zhang Liling.

Zhang Liling enjoyed 2 glasses of the same cocktail, while Tungmei was still on a glass of whiskey. She was really taking her time with sipping it.

"I don't know what people see in this bitter stuff. The taste is aggressive, but beer is a lot better!" Tungmei confessed.

She just wanted to give whiskey a try, but ended up regretting why she ordered for an entire glass.

"You are right, but it kind of gets intoxicating when you keep drinking it." Zhang Liling said.

Thinking about drinking, she has never seen Mr. Fang drink any other thing apart from wine, which has only happened twice right before her eyes. She has lived with him for 2 months, and could proudly attest that he had no bad drinking habit.

If he didn't like to drink that much, why does he have a whole cellar of wine? It shouldn't be that he has this weird habit of buying expensive wine and storing them...

As Zhang Liling was thinking about Mr. Fang, the man was currently drinking with Chuanli and Bolin, while working inside his Scent lab.

This was a place he used to try his ideas on the scent of perfume, before giving out the procedure out for it to be produced, if it passed the test.

Currently, there was a thick black glove secured around Mr. Fang's hands. He would hate for any scent to linger in his hands, and become hard to wash off later.

Despite the fact that he took 4 pills from his bottle of meds, he still wasn't trusting the effect, and had to cover his nose with a mask.

In the room, he was the only one looking different.

"Sir, what's the quantity of lavender oil you would want to use?" Bolin asked for clarification.

Mr. Fang moved his gaze from the bottle of alcohol in his hands and replied, "A teaspoon would do. I would have loved to extract the oil from the fresh lavender myself."

"This would take more time, and longer for the experiment to take place. And besides, we are not sure that we can recreate her scent on the first try." Chuanli commented.

Mr. Fang didn't want to say anything else, and just proceeded with pouring a little quantity of the alcohol in the transparent jar before him.

He didn't need to mention how obsessed he was with using ingredients from original sources for his perfume making.

**********

Soon, Zhang Liling and Tungmei joined the rest of their coursemates in a large booth.

Shu Rushi and her underlings were present, and the former didn't bother to get on her nerves too much.

Shu Rushi wore a tight handless white dress that had a slit on the side, so that when she sat down, it would leave a pathway, and show of her thigh.

There was a bright red lipstick stained on her lips. The shade of lipstick she used, was brighter than the one Zhang Liling used on her lips.

A female student noticed the glimmering light coming from Zhang Liling's dress and asked, "Zhang Liling, are those real crystals on your dress?"

Immediately, all the attention turned toward her direction.

Zhang Liling forced a smile. "Do I look like I would wear a fake when I can afford the real deal?"

"Wow! Then your dress must be expensive!" The female student replied in surprise.

Zhang Liling didn't pay her any attention and just shifted her gaze away. When some of them started talking about her bag and how cute it looked, she couldn't be bothered with them.

Shu Rushi from where she was sitting, felt that it was time to have fun, and so got up from her seat, and walked to Zhang Liling's side to offer her a drink which she poured by herself.

"Miss Zhang, have a drink. Since you stepped in, you have refused to drink with us and clink glasses with us." Shu Rushi said while handing her a glass of whiskey, as the others all turned to glance at them.

Most of them were curious as to how entertaining this would be for the enemies to gnaw at each others throats.

Tungmei watched from the side without interrupting because she was sure that her best friend could handle stuff like this by herself.

Zhang Liling glanced at the glass of whiskey in her hand before slowly shifting her gaze to her face.

"Miss Shu, it is my choice whether to drink or not, and there is nothing absurd about it."

Shu Rushi smiled in response. She was expecting this kind of reply from her because she studied how she has never touched the same drink as others in the room, and was only drinking from the cocktail glass she came in with. And now, she wanted to break that rule.
