Gifting Mr. Fang took a lot of courage from her.

Mr. Fang was now aware of her feelings for him, so he might reject her gift because of it.

No matter what, Zhang Liling's only goal at the moment, was to make sure he accepted her gift.

Knowing the normal place he would be at after dinner, Zhang Liling went up the stairs and arrived in front of the door to his study shortly.

Knocking twice, she opened the door and stepped in with a polite smile.

"Mr. Fang, I'm sorry for interrupting you..." She apologized as she slowly stepped forward with her hands holding the wrapped gift behind her back.

Mr. Fang raised his head to glance at her with a pen in his hand. Tonight, he was making notes on a journal about his next business plan.

"What is it?" He asked in his deep baritone voice. His tone was neutral, and his facial expression, calm.

Zhang Liling took all this as a good sign before exhaling deeply.

"I came to give you a token of appreciation for impacting business knowledge in me, and for making me put in an extra effort in my research."

Mr. Fang shifted his gaze from her face to her hands which were obviously hiding something behind her back.

She brought a gift with her.

He put his pen down and rested his arms on his desk, leaving his journal in the middle of them.

"Miss Zhang, I did my job just like other lecturers did. You don't need to thank me for it. Take your gift back."

'Take my gift back?' Zhang Liling felt like crying.

She bought him an expensive wristwatch, so who would she give it to if he rejects her?

She didn't see any other male figure in her life who was worthy of that gift.

Zhang Liling decided to be stubborn and walked the rest of the distance to his desk. She came to stand in front of his desk before slowly revealing the wrapped up gift.

"Mr. Fang, I can't take my gift back. I already made this order specially to thank you, and it already bears a significant meaning."

"What's inside?" Mr. Fang asked pointing at the box with a nod.

Thinking that he was finally being responsive, Zhang Liling smiled and replied immediately, "A wristwatch."

"That means it's expensive..." Mr. Fang said in a low tone as his head dropped.

This made it difficult for Zhang Liling to tell what he was thinking.

"Mr. Fang, don't worry about the money, it's nothing to me. I only give gifts that cost me something. I do that to everyone I care about."

This was what Zhang Liling could come up with. Since she couldn't exactly guess what he was thinking, she thought that he was worried about the gift being expensive since she was still a student, but that wasn't the case.

Mr. Fang slowly raised his head and released a sigh. "Since this is a male wristwatch, it would be very pleasant if you gave it to your father instead. Just now, I helped you to think of whom to gift it to, since you have already bought the gift."

'What?!'

Zhang Liling couldn't believe her ears. She was shocked to the extent of being made speechless at the same time.

So all this while he had his head lowered, he was helping her to think of whom to gift the wristwatch to, instead of him?

And here she was thinking something entirely different...

Zhang Liling really had no tears to shed. What kind of person is this man?

Seeing her stand there staring at him wild-eyed, he tapped his fingers on the desk while calling out to her, "Miss Zhang!"

Zhang Liling retracted her eyeballs. Her lips moved several times but no words left. At last, she just put the gift on his desk and turned to leave, leaving him in shock.

Mr. Fang was still out of it with that move from her. He didn't expect her to just leave the gift for him after everything he said.

When Zhang Liling got to the door and touched the handle, she paused and turned to say to him, "Mr. Fang, even if you don't want my gift, you will have to accept it. You can't throw it away or give it to others because it cost me $10,000. Please cherish it."

After saying that, she bent the door handle to open the door before running away before he would come back to his senses and force her to take the gift with her.

She knew that if he makes any serious attempt to make her take the gift back, she would have no choice but to listen to him.

This situation was a first for Mr. Fang. The man stared at the wrapped up gift wordlessly without knowing what to do.

The gifter had already run away since, refusing to take it with her. And what... She asked him not to throw it away or gift it to another person.

She even added that he had to cherish it.

He has never seen someone weird like her in his entire life. She was stubborn and bold. Which was a good mixture with a side effect.

Zhang Liling ran straight to her bedroom and locked the door before slidding down the floor.

She had just skipped down the stairs, so she was still trying to catch her breath.

The way she ran down the stairs as if someone was chasing her was so funny. She didn't stop till she stepped into her room, even when Butler Gu rushed out to see what was happening.

That was how desperate she was to find a hiding place.

Even if Mr. Fang sends Butler Gu to return the gift to her, she would never open her door for anyone.

Zhang Liling stayed locked up in her room till around 10 pm before coming out.

The main lights were already turned off, signifying that everyone has gone to bed.

'This is good' She thought with a smile before going back to her room.

She emerged a few minutes later with a blanket in her hand. She figured out that she could watch a movie since she couldn't go to bed just yet, and she didn't feel like studying.

Putting her blanket on the couch, she went to turn on the television before picking up the remote and going back to lay on the couch.

Covering her legs with the duvet, she smiled brightly and fixed her gaze on the TV.

At the same time in the study, Mr. Fang had just finished a late night meeting with some of his team members, and turned off his laptop.
