Mr. Fang's Feisty Mistress

Zhang Xiaoling returned to the Tang family after almost spending two weeks at the Zhang Mansion.

She was forced to leave when Zhang Renshu fixed his attention on her.

Before the man could find out the real reason she wasn\'t going back to her in-laws, she packed her bags and left, much to her mother\'s displeasure.

Returning to the Tang family, Zhang Xiaoling had the servants take her luggage up the bedroom she shared with Tang Enlai while she followed behind them.

As soon as she stepped into the familiar room she hadn\'t been in for the past week, she allowed her eyes to take in the scene.

\'At the room is tidy.\' She thought to herself as her gaze darted around.

Zhang Xiaoling exhaled deeply before continuing in her steps as the servants walked away, giving her some privacy.

After changing out of her clothes, she returned to the bedroom to sit on the bed.

Later at night, during dinner time, she had no choice but to go downstairs to join the rest of the family to eat.

Out of courtesy, she had greeted her mother-in-law who snorted at her before throwing her face to the side, but she chose to ignore her tantrum.

She was not going to let herself fall into the trap of arguing or provoking her after returning from a short break.

Ignoring her mother-in-law, she picked up her cutlery and began to eat just like the other young women her age at the dining table.

"You are not going to ask about your husband?" Mrs. Tang inquired on seeing that she just went ahead to eat without asking questions.

Currently, the seat next to her was empty which showed that Tang Enlai was absent, but she didn\'t seem to care.

Her main concern was not to fight with her mother-in-law otherwise, she would feel the stress coming down to her at once.

She just wanted to have a simple meal so she could return to her room to get a good night sleep.

"Tsk...tsk..." You are not acting like a good wife.

Turning her gaze away from her as the corners of her lips tugged downwards, Mrs. Fang added.

"You are not acting like a good wife to my son. Enlai may become the first family member to marry twice."

"Oh!" gasp of shocks escaped form the lips of one of the ladies at the dining table, but feeling the glare from her mother-in-law, she hurriedly shut her mouth and continued to eat.

"Mum, it\'s okay. Xiaoling is just coming back, she should get some rest." Enlai\'s immediate younger brother, said with his gaze on their mother.

Since there father was unavoidably absent, and his first brother unavailable, the mantle was on him to keep the family at peace as their mother had forgotten how to do so.

Mrs. Tang\'s gaze briefly rested on her son before retracting it back to her food. Fortunately, she didn\'t say anything else to Zhang Xiaoling till dinner was over.

Zhang Xiaoling had no reason to concern herself with matters related to the man that didn\'t bother to care about her while she was away.

Not once did he text or call her. And now, she was expected to act like the good wife by asking where he went to?

She was not going to pretend in that case.

Late at night when most people were sleeping, Tang Enlai returned back home along with his father with three servants tailing behind them as they had just returned from a business trip.

Bidding good night to his father, Tang Enlai took the stairs along with the servants helping him with his briefcase and small suitcase.

"Sir, Ms. Tang is back." The servant revealed

Hearing that, his steps faltered a little. Letting out a sigh he continued. \'I thought she would have stayed there for a little longer. Why did she come back soon?\'

But right as they reached the door to his bedroom, he stopped and blocked the way as he stretched his hands out to the young maid.

"I will take it from here."

Immediately his properties were handed to him, he turned to bend the door handle before going into the dimly lit room.

As soon as Tang Enlai shut the door behind and turned around, he cast his long glance at the slim figure sleeping soundly on the bed with no emotions visible on his face.

And in order not disturb her sleep, he tried to be soundless with his footsteps asbhe made his way toward the inner room.

Several minutes later, he emerged from the inner room dressed in his set of pyjamas and got into bed.

Immediately his weight sank into the mattress, the woman stirred in her slip, letting out a moan through her slightly parted lips.

His gaze landed on her as he watched her turn her back to him, her legs almost slipping out of the sheets.

Seeing that, he paused in his actions until she was relaxed and only then did he adjust the duvet to cover them both before resting his head on the hard pillow above his neck.

The next morning, Zhang Xiaoling was woken up by the alarm she had set with her phone.

Hearing the irritating sound from her phone, her forehead creased slightly.

Without opening her eyes, she reached out her hand for the other side of the bed to find the said phone as she tapped on the bed, but she ended up hitting a hard warm body.

Instantly, her eyes squinted open as sleep left her eyes that moment. Tilting her head to the side, her eyes met the face of the man staring intently at her.

"Are you not going to turn off that alarm?" Tang Enlai squinted his eyes at her with a subtle of irritation in his tone.

He had returned home after a long flight in the middle of the night and just when he wanted to get a long rest as this was weekend, her alarm had to wake him up.

How unfortunate.

\'When did he get back?\' Zhang Xiaoling thought, a little distracted with her eyes threatening to leave their house.
