Mr. Fang's Feisty Mistress

Chapter 90 Her Scent

"Bingwen, just let me get a sample of Miss Zhang's blood. You only have to say YES to this, and I will go and meet Miss Zhang myself!"

Chuanli couldn't have found a better way to start his day than to call Mr. Fang and bug him with his request.

Mr. Fang was quiet for a while before saying, "Give me some time to think about it."

"What do you need to think..."

Chuanli didn't get to finish his sentence before he heard the beep from his phone, signifying that the ongoing call has been terminated.

"This...this guy!" Chuanli gritted his teeth while glancing at his wallpaper. He was so furious.

He was the one that made the call alright!

Anyway, it's not like he would gain anything from making a fuss out of the matter. He was already used to his friend's bossy attitude.

Mr. Fang who said that he would think about his request, was currently dressing and ready to leave for work.

He had thrown his phone on the chair in his walk-in closet before going on to stand in front of the mirror and continue to fix his necktie. He hadn't the time to think about any other thing apart from work.

After knotting his tie, he picked up his work bag and suit jacket before leaving. He ended up meeting butler Gu at the doorstep of his bedroom and wrinkled his nose.

Bowing slightly, Butler Gu greeted and said, "Sir, I was about to remind you for breakfast. Also, would you like to take some food away for lunch today?"

He noticed his irritation, but still went ahead to state the very reason he was there.

"Why did you use two and a half shot of your perfume?" Mr. Fang asked with a frown as he reached out to block the passage in his nose with a finger, as lined appeared on his forehead.

Hearing that, Butler Gu took a few steps away from him before proceeding to sniff his shirt.

Remembering where he was, he quickly put down his arm and bowed his head in apology. "I apologize for my irrational behaviour."

The man was shocked at his accuracy. He was right about him using two and a half shot of his perfume bottle, when he was only supposed to use only 2 shots.

How did he know about that?

Oh! He just remembered that it was possible, given the issue he had.

Butler Gu seemed to know about Mr. Fang's struggles and sensitivity when it came to scents.

That morning after getting dressed, he picked up his perfume which was already recommended in the contract.

As he pressed the pump the first time, he discovered that it faced the wrong direction. Although knowing that only a little quantity got on his shirt, he didn't include that count and proceeded to position the pump properly this time around before using 2 shots.

Who knew that Mr. Fang would notice.

"Since you are working closely for me, you should be careful not to make mistakes such as this," Mr. Fang warned with a slight irritation in his tone, while still protecting his nose with his finger.

Butler Gu hurriedly apologized again with a bow, "Sir, forgive me impudence, I will be more careful next time."

Mr. Fang finally let him off and made his way towards the stairs.

Butler Gu took that as a sign and immediately followed after him.

"There is no need to pack lunch for me today," Mr. Fang said just as he was about to repeat the previous question.

"Okay, Sir." Butler Gu replied.

As soon as both men made it down the stairs, they went their separate ways.

Mr. Fang went towards the dining room, while butler Gu went to the kitchen to pass a few instructions to the chef.

While making his way out of the kitchen, he lost collided with Zhang Liling who obviously came to get her food.

"Ah! I almost bumped into you!" Zhang Liling said with smiling eyes as she stepped out of the way for the old man to pass, but he didn't.

Butler Gu stood there and watched her with a slight frown. His hands were folded at his back.

Thinking that she has done something wrong, and wanted to scold her, Zhang Liling frowned. "What wrong have I done this time around? I have already done the laundry I left last night."

"Why is your perfume scent so obvious, did you use more than 2 shots?" Butler Gu asked with a frown.

"How did you know, is it that obvious?" Zhang Liling asked with smiling eyes. "I thought my second perfume didn't posses enough strength, so I used about 4 shots."

Butler Gu was speechless. "Did you never read the rules regarding the number of perfume shots we should use a day?"

"I did, but none is complained. It's not like I do this all the time."

'No one is complaining?' Butler Gu didn't know what to her next.

"For today, stay away from Mr. Fang if you don't want to be rebuked. You should actually learn to follow instructions."

Zhang Liling frowned slightly and asked curiously, "Why would I be scolded? This was a mistake on my part."

"Have you forgotten that Mr. Fang is sensitive to smells, and it's because of that, that the rule was added in the first place." Butler Gu asked in surprise.

Just what as she been reading and thinking about since she started working for Mr. Fang

"Who told you that? Are you mistaken?" Zhang Liling looked confused, as she wondered if the butler was thinking too much.

When she saw the rule about the kind of perfume they were to use, and the number of shots to be used each day, she thought that Mr. Fang only wanted to control them from using perfumes with irritating scents, and the number of shots, so they could not wear heavy perfume as household workers.

Butler Gu saw her ignorance and didn't want to believe that she didn't even know something as important as that.

"Do you know how many times I have been scolded for using more than 2 shots of perfume, or for using the wrong one?" Butler Gu asked, while staring directly into her eyes.

"How many?"

"Well, it's not much since I like to be very professional with my work. At most, I have been scolded thrice for my negligence based on my scent." He confessed.

Zhang Liling speed out her palms and said, "But I have been scolded for making mistakes with my scent."

Butler Gu gave up on her. If she wanted to be punished so badly instead of taking corrections, then, so be it. He has done his part.

At last, Butler Gu left her and walked away.

Zhang Liling who was supposed to be feeling carefree, was suddenly intrigued by what the butler said.

Was Mr. Fang really sensitive to smells?

Then she remembered the questionnaire she was given to answer by Chuanli who happened to be Mr. Fang's doctor.

She also recalled Mr. Fang's actions back then before she came to his house. She remembered that any time she came close to him, he would take a step backwards and ask her not to come any closer.

Something, he would cover his nose, or it would wrinkle on it's own.

Other times, he would have the expression of irritation on his face if she stepped anywhere closer to him.

Now she was wondering if he was really sensitive to smells or not.

But since she came to work for him in his house, she has made some mistakes about her scent, but has never been scolded.

She could also remember getting close to him during those times, but he never seemed to notice, but why was that?

If Butler Gu has made mistakes 3 times and got scolded, why would she who have made more mistakes then him not get scolded

Zhang Liling just couldn't understand things, and just decided to have her breakfast first. She had almost wasted 5 minutes standing in one place.

After getting her food from the kitchen, she went to the living room only meant for the servants of the house, to eat.

When she finished she went to pick up her bag and got ready to leave for school. As she stepped out of the house, she saw Mr. Fang about to step into his car, just as one of his bodyguards opened the car door for him.

"Mr. Fang!" She called out without thinking, and then regretted it the next second.

Why did she call out to him?! Was she hoping that he could somehow drop her off somewhere she could easily get a taxi? Or did she want to check something with him regarding her scent?

Whichever reason it was, Zhang Liling couldn't tell because right now, she was forcing a smile while staring at Mr. Fang who had stopped to look at her.

Mr. Fang didn't say anything, and just stared at her through his reading glasses, as if waiting for her to say the reason she called him for.

'What is it?' His gaze seemed to ask.

Zhang Liling was a little at lost on what to say to him.

There was no way she would tell him to forget, since he had already halted in his step and turned to look at her.

That would be wasting his time and taking him for ggranted so it was just better to say something. And with that thought, she said as she stepped closer to him.

"Mr. Fang, do you have any project for us before our final exams?"

"Why do you want to know?" He asked with a frown.

He was able to notice something different about her scent today, and he wasn't feeling too happy about it.

Smiling sheepishly, she replied, "I just want to prepare myself for the possible topic if there would be any last project from you."

Mr. Fang ignored her question and went on to ask, "You didn't obey the rule about the number of shots you should use daily today, did you?"
