Zhang Xiaoling was able to deduct that he had come home in the middle of the night as she got off the bed to find her phone.

Seeing it on the nightstand, she hurriedly turned it off before going back to bed.

At that same moment, Tang Enlai shut his eyes and tried to go back to sleep. But ten minutes later, he was woken up by the same alarm.

This time around, he didn\'t bother to conceal the irritation he felt from having his sleep disturbed.

Sitting up in the bed with a deep frown settling on his forehead, he cast his gaze on the woman struggling to turn off the alarm on her phone and hissed.

"Ssssttsss..."

Zhang Xiaoling panicked when she felt the bed rising as she turned to reach her phone to turn off the alarm on her phone.

She could feel the glare on her back, but she did not dare to meet his gaze.

Obviously, she was the one looking for trouble now, but it wasn\'t her fault.

While trying to turn off her alarm, she had mistakenly swiped her phone screen toward the \'snooze\' button instead of the \'stop\' button.

Because she still had some sleep in her eyes, she made that Greece mistake.

"Sorry." She apologized as she placed her phone back on the nightstand while still remaining in the same sitting position.

At that moment, Tang Enlai had so many things to say to her. But knowing that he shouldn\'t let anger get the best of him, he took several deep breaths before getting out of bed.

He couldn\'t try to get back to sleep for the second time when his body senses were already on alert.

As Zhang Xiaoling remained facing the other side, she couldn\'t see him leaving as the only senses she could make use of were her ears.

Hearing the shuffling of slippers against the rug, her ears perked up to listen as he made his way into the inner room.

Immediately the sound of door closing reached her ears, a long sigh escaped her lips as her lashes briefly fluttered close.

She would have loved to maintain this silence and indifference between them, but see her making a mistake by provoking him.

That morning after freshening up, Zhang Xiaoling left the room and returned a few minutes later with a cup of hot coffee in a tray.

Straight from the door she made her way toward the man sitting and relaxing his back on the bed. Putting the tray down on the nightstand next to him, she turned to leave without saying anything.

As the aroma of the strong hot coffee filled his nose, Tang Enlai felt his senses come alive. Retracting his gaze from the retreating woman, he glanced at the cup of piping hot liquid.

"Is this her way of apologizing?" He muttered under his breath.

Without a second to waste, he reached out to grab the mug by the handle and brought the rims to his lips as he put his phone aside.

Since she had disturbed his sleep, Zhang Xiaoling only thought it right to bring him a cup of hot coffee to feel better.

"When next are you going to meet the Chu Family?" Shi Wenqian came asking as soon as she stepped into the dining room.

She had far long exhausted her patience from waiting for him to bring up the topic of Zhang Mingyu\'s marriage.

Leaving her with no choice, she thought it wise to take reins by herself.

Zhang Renshu tilted his head to the side as his brows furrowed with a frown settling in the middle of his forehead.

"Is this how to greet your husband?" he queried as he watched her settle in her chair.

"Oh!" she exclaimed with a look of feigned surprise flashing across her eyes as she turned to meet his gaze. "I didn\'t know someone still cared about being acknowledged."

Saying that, she turned her attention back to the dining table, glancing at the several breakfast options laid out in front of her.

"These servants have started wasting food again!" she uttered through gritted teeth, totally ignoring the unhappy man.

Nodding to himself, Zhang Renshu thought himself to be a fool to have bothered to respond to her in the first place.

He was better off ignoring her like he has been using. Truly, there was no use trying to communicate with her.

"Shi Wenqian, I believe that next time, you should first acknowledge me before going on to ask any question. If not, don\'t bother to open your mouth." He warned.

"As long as you promise to respond to them, then I have no problems greeting you every morning."

"I can see that you have started to bare your fangs again after spreading your wings. Be warned and act accordingly."

Zhang Renshu glared at her one more time before finally moving his gaze away. \'Iy looks like she has forgotten what it feels like to be slapped.\'

\'Zhang Renshu, just wait. If I can\'t own your Zhang Corp, I will destroy it by bringing it to dust.\' Shi Wenqian swore as she picked up her cutlery to eat.

Several days later, Zhang Liling\'s building was ready to move in after Mr. Fang helped her with the architectural work.

Finally, the renovations where done, and all she was left with now, was to hire workers.

Immediately, after fixing the items she would need in her office, and the large office space for her workers, she continued to work on her advertisement.

She was planning to launch her brand in the middle of the next month, hence, she had to do her best.

Today, she was on a long call with her mother and the manufacturing company working on her products.

"Mum, when will the goods be shipped?"

"In 2 weeks. They products are currently being packaged. Once they are done, they would be shipped over at once." Song Jujing replied.

"That\'s fine. The launch will hold soon, but I want everything to be ready at least two weeks before the date." Zhang Liling said nervously.
