"Did you almost hit me a moment ago?" Zhang Liling shocked tone asked with her gaze narrowing at him.
She seemed to be in disbelief at his attempt now that she had successfully overcome the feeling of shock from earlier.
"Would you want me to repeat my actions, and this time around actually do the real deal?" Tang Enlai retorted as black line appeared on his forehead.
He looked very ready to go over his actions from earlier if she actually wanted a demonstration since her mind was that daft.
Zhang Xiaoling stared wide-eyed at him. She couldn't believe the confidence.
Was he not not afraid of what she could do if his hand had touched her?
Or maybe not.
He didn't look in the least bit bothered as he already had something to hold unto.
"Coward!" She said while glaring daggers at him, but he didn't even get any angrier than he already was.
"You are free to call me that until I decide to report you to your stepfather!"
Tang Enlai meant to say that he would duly accept being a coward up until he takes a steps ahead to reveal her other face to Zhang Renshu.
And that would be when he was done having a soft heart toward her.
Hearing Zhang Renshu being mentioned, Zhang Xiaoling's shoulders shuddered as she immediately felt a chill run down her spine.
Her eyes widened a bit in their sockets with her gaze never leaving his face.
She was truly afraid of the outcome of her obscene behaviour if a word about it should get into his ears.
That man had put in so much effort to make ensure that she successfully married into the Tang family which in exchange, solidified his position in the political world.
Imagine if she dares to ruin things for him, he would make sure she immediately seized to exist as a member of the Zhang family, and her entirely life would be ruined.
Tang Enlai sensed the fear which was as clear as day from her and finally felt a little part of his anger dissipate a bit.
Feeling defeated by his comeback, Zhang Xiaoling quickly thought of something as she refused to back down so easily.
So what if she had a dark side, what about him, was he free?
Thinking about that, her gaze changed as the fear quickly disappeared from her eyes.
"What about you?" She started, as she flung her purse to the bed, while still standing on her heels.
Without giving him the opposite to respond, she continued.
"You have other little women outside, so why can't I be free to do as I like in this sham of a marriage? That I am a woman doesn't mean I should be the only one bound by the rules."
"Oh! You think I am messing around with other women and that's what gave you the guts to act like a loose woman?" Tang Enlai asked furiousness.
The little anger that managed to fly away, just found its way back at the utterance of her mouth.
"Am I wrong?" she asked without an ounce of fear in her. She seems determined to win this case at the end of it.
"You are very wrong." Tang Enlai said as his index finger pointed straight at her face with his chest rising and falling at the same time.
"Because I drink and sometimes spend the night outside, you think that I am unfaithful in this marriage?" He asked.
While gesturing with his hand, he continued angrily, "Let me tell you something your dull brain doesn't know. Yes, I was promiscuous while I was single, but after marrying you even though there is no love, I left that part of my life behind."
At this revelation, Zhang Xiaoling seemed to be surprised as she unknowningly took a step back with slightly parted lips.
There was a look of disbelief on her face as her eyes searched for something in his eyes.
Not giving her the chance to pick up anything from his gaze, he said one final statement to her before turning around and walking into the inner room.
"Zhang Xiaoling, I have exhausted the patience I have for you. Since you don't have any respect for me, then I wouldn't have one for you either. Also, if I find you lusting after another man, it will be the end of marriage."
Zhang Xiaoling stood there dumbstruck as she watched his back quickly disappear from her line of sight.
Her feet were frozen as her mind digested his revelation and the threats in them.
***
Having realized that Zhang Liling was putting on a red G-string underneath her one piece dress this whole time, Mr. Fang was full of shock.
Staring at the red piece he discarded on the floor, he began to question her sanity.
"How on earth does she get comfortable in this?" He muttered under his breath.
The corners of lips twisted a bit as his brows creased along with his crinkled nose.
There was a hint of worry and disbelief on his face with all his attention now focused on Zhang Liling's taste.
He was worrying about how uncomfortable she would be in that kind of panties. He even wondered the kind of dead brain someone had to produce something like that.
Taking a long stride to the red item, he bent his waist before reaching out his hand for it.
Using his thumb and index finger, he gradually picked the G-string up with his facial expression twisted like a child afraid to swallow a bitter medicine.
"I wonder the kind of unsual brain fluid that was filled up in this designer's head while producing this." He said as he slowly hung the pant back on the rail, while using his free hand to shift his bath towel away from it.
He was acting as if the pant would contaminate his white towel.
Giving how damp it was because Zhang Liling had just washed it, the right thing to do would have been to rinse it again, but he was even afraid of holding it properly talk more of squeezing it in his hand.
Putting the pant back where he had seen it earlier without bothering to hand it properly, he stepped away and went to the sink to wash his hands before proceeding to take off his clothes, and getting ready for a cool shower.
