"There are so many events happening today, how am I supposed to know which one you are going to?" Zhang Xiaoling retorted as her brows drew close together.
"Well, if you must know..." Tang Enlai started while staring at her as he finally fixed his necktie.
"I'm going to the new perfume launch event hosted by Fang Bingwen."
Saying up to this point, he rose to his feet and moved to the couch. Propping his legs on the table, he leaned forward as his hands went to the laces to tighten them.
Watching him as her heart pounded loudly in her chest, Zhang Xiaoling felt a string cut in her heart.
"I wanted to come along with you and that's..."
"You are not coming with me." Tang Enlai said authoritatively before shifting his gaze back to his brown leather polished shoes.
There was not a hint of a smile in his voice as he meant every word he declared to her. He was not going to allow her to come to that event.
Thinking he meant that he could not afford to be in the same car space as her, she released a deep breath.
Walking towards the door leading to the inner room with her handbag she said, "That's fine. You can go ahead while I find my way."

"Who said you could come to the event?" He asked then without giving her a chance to understand what he was driving at, he continued unhappily.
"You are not going anywhere. You can stay at home and do what you want or probably go out to some fun place."
Immediately, Zhang Xiaoling lashed out at him. Who did he think he was to stop her from going where she wanted?
"What's your problem? Why do you get to tell me what to do?"
Stepping closer, he said in a menacing tone, not bothering to hide his great displeasure.
"Because the invitation was given to me and not you. I know you have your ways, but if I see you at that place, get ready to be embarrassed!" Tang Enlai spat before turning to walk away through the entrance door, leaving her to seeth in her rage.
Zhang Xiaoling's fingers clenched as they curled into a fist. Her gritted teeth seethed with rage as her mind became clouded in anger.
Tang Enlai was taking revenge on her for the stunt she pulled at old Lady Fang's birthday party, and it seemed like he bore a deep grudge against her, or maybe his reason for banning her from coming along with him was something else.
Maybe he was afraid that she would forget her self-respect and embarrass him, hence he stopped her entirely from coming to the event related to Mr. Fang.
Zhang Xiaoling was blinded by anger that she went on a rampage holstering everything she could lay her hands on, to the floor.
She was still in her work clothes and was yet to change out of her heels but she didn't care.
She screamed as she went to the bed and pushed the pillows to the floor, and right at that moment, Tang Enlai came back.
The man was a bit taken aback by the disheveled hysterical female figure standing next to the disarranged bed.
But in the span of a few seconds, his protruded eyes suddenly constricted as his gaze followed the mess in the room.
He could feel his chest rise and fall rapidly as his gaze slowly crept up to her face.
'Did she create this mess simply because I refused her presence at the
Seeing him come into the room without warning, Zhang Xiaoling stopped in her actions as she locked gazes with him while breathing heavily.
This was so unexpected.
At first, she was shocked, but gradually, her anger returned.
For almost a minute, both of them stood staring at each other with a sizable distance between them. No one was saying a word as they both expressed their anger towards each other with their glances.
Taking in a deep breath, Tang Enlai released it before walking into the inner room with his gaze ahead.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen he walked out 2 minutes later with his phone in hand, Zhang Xiaoling who was still standing at the same spot, watched him as he left the room without sparing her another glance.
As he shut the door behind him with a loud thud, she shuddered in fear. But when she realized that he was not coming back to rebuke her, her shoulders slumped as she slowly sat at the edge of the bed.
She retracted her gaze from the door as she tried to catch her breath...
Her entire plans of attending the new perfume launch had been ruined, including the next day.
While at work, she had been thinking about the event and even went on to clock out of work earlier to go to the saloon.
Although she never had a conversation with her husband concerning the launch, she had been confident that it wouldn't be a problem, given how they took care of matters while still at each other's throats.
But today, Tang Enlai showed her that there was a limit to where her thoughts can take her.
~Mr. Fang's Villa~
Mr. Fang specially contracted a makeup artist to take care of Zhang Liling's looks that morning before leaving for the office.
At the moment, it was already 4 pm, and she was already dressed and ready to be taken to the event.
Zhang Liling was very intentional about timing this time around and had to start preparing for the event from the time she opened her eyes in the morning in order to meet up.
She wasn't sure how the product launch was going to be, so she had to be a little observant.
Although this was not her first time attending a launch as it was almost like a daily event back in Paris still, she shouldn't expect that things would be like the past.
In her bedroom after the makeup artist packed up and left she finished off her looks with the new set of jewelry, Mr. Fang got for her before going outside to take the ride waiting for her.
