Chapter 462 Are You Up For It?
It took a little more while before Zhang Xiaoling finally understood what was going on.
She didn't have to sit at home and wait for her mother's public mess to get to her. While the drama would be unfolding, she would already be on the flight to Brazil, or would have already landed in that country.
Zhang Xiaoling was very grateful to the extent that her eyes become teary. "Thank you." Her voice choked.
It's not as if she was selfish, but she wanted to hide from all of this because she was not sound enough to take in all the negative notions that would be thrown her way.
She so badly wanted to escape out of he down selfish reasons, and now she had a foetus that was unstable. She was going to become a mother and she could already feel that maternity instinct to do everything to protect her child.
"Thank you," She said once more as she tried to stop her tears from flowing.
A deep sigh fell off Tang Enlai's lips. "There is no need to thank me. It's my responsibility to take care of us. Rest assured that I will not allow any harm to come to you as long as I am here." He promised once more.
"Thank you!" Zhang Xiaoling took in a sharp breath.
It took her some time to finally calm down as her husband parted her shoulder gently.
Wiping the last drop of tears that fell on her cheeks, she inquired, "What of the child? Should we let your family know?"
Since they would be leaving to a far country in some hours, she was curious about what he thought.
"There is no need. When we return, they would see it for their eyes." Tang Enlai said.
He didn't want to cause more pair of eyes to be on them, or for anyone to have more reasons to try to break them apart.
When they were ready to leave the restaurant, Tang Enlai called someone to pick up Zhang Xiaoling's car from where they left it and bring it back to the Tang house.
Taking her hand, he led her to the car. Together, they went home, totally skipping work for the entire day. It was only during dinner with the entire family that Tang Enlai announced about them leaving for Brazil the next morning.
Immediately, Mrs. Tang was annoyed. "When did you two decide this that you are only telling us now?" She asked while giving Zhang Xiaoling the side glance as if blaming her for leading her son to making that kind of hurried plan.
"It's been a while, but I only decided to let you in on it today as it had almost slipped my mind." Tang Enlai lied.
"When are you coming back then?" Mrs. Tang inquired further.
"When we get there first," he replied while giving a vague response, much to her displeasure.
Throughout their dinner time, Mr. Tang did not speak a word while Mrs. Tang kept complaining about their trip until she was forced to shut her lips.
As soon as dinner was over, Mr. Tang asked Tang Enlai to see him in his study briefly concerning business.
Fortunately, he didn't take long before returning to Zhang Xiaoling in their bedroom.
"Did father ask about the trip?" She asked immediately he stepped into the room.
"No, it was just business." Sensing the worry washing over her, he couldn't continue to let her go on like that. "Xiaoling, no matter what happens, turn a blind eye to it. You don't need to worry."
Holding her arms, he comforted her a bit.
"I called two servants to help us pack our luggage. Just let them take out the things you need. You don't have to left a finger." He smiled.
Zhang Xiaoling released a deep breath.

At the same time, Zhang Liling was lying in Mr. Fang's arms while playing with her hair and spacing out.
"What are you thinking about?" His thick voice asked as he poked her porcelain cheek.
"I'm nervous and can't wait for tomorrow. Finally, we are getting rid of a road block after so many uncomfortable years. I can't wait to know how that feels like." Zhang Liling said with a smile spreading across her face as she tilted her head to the side.
Refusing to engage in that conversation with her, Fang Bingwen brought her into his arms properly so she could easily feel the warmth seeping from his body.
"If you are that bothered, I can help to distract you. Are you up for it?" He winked.
"What?" She asked while giving him a spectacular look.
"Chuanli said we can have s*x even if you are on your period. If you wash properly before we do it, it won't be messy afterward." He whispered into her ear as he roped his arms around her waist.
Immediately, Liling felt like she was in danger and tried to get away from his tight grip. "Dr. Li said that? D-did you mention something like this to home?" She asked as black lines appeared on her forehead.
"No. He mentioned it in passing." Fang Bingwen replied as he rubbed his jaw and cheeks on her face and her neck area.
Feeling tickled, Liling tried to get away from again, but he was holding her tightly, plus he was not willing to let go.
"Then let it be that you are also mentioning it in passing to me."
"How can that be? I am very serious right now. Don't you believe me?" Fang Bingwen asked as he stopped to meet her gaze, this causing her to stop moving around in his arms.
Staring deep into his eye, she tried to see any atom of truth in them, but before she could read anything, he took her hand and moved it to his crotch area.
"What are you looking at when you can feel it yourself? This method is faster."
As soon as her hand gripped him, she took it away. "Let's go to sleep." She yawned and turned her back to him, immediately closing her eyes.
Just like that, she slept off without having troubles. At the end, Fang Bingwen had to stifle a laugh before joining her in the dream land.
The next morning around 4:30, Zhang Xiaoling and Tang Enlai left for the airport.
