Han Zihao knitted his brows and ignored her words. He turned around and punched his password, covering it with his hand, to not let her peek over it.

  "-_-"

  Xu Nuan scoffed seeing how stingy he was acting. 

  'Tsk, tsk. He really doesn't believe me. Well, I don't believe myself either, so I will just let him go for now.' she shook her head and didn't argue further.

  Han Zihao unlocked the door and entered and just as he was about to shut the door, Xu Nuan pushed the door open and entered the house following him.

  He turned around and was speechless seeing her following him shamelessly. His lips twitched as he asked, " What are you doing right now? Do you know what you are doing right now can be considered as sexual harassment? If I had entered your house like this, how would you have felt?"

  "-_-".

  She blinked her eyes seeing his unbelievable reaction. " I would be happy of course. " She said as a matter of factly.

  Her response made him dumbfounded once again. Can she act like a girl for once? How can she be so endearingly shameless?

  " Why are you following me? It's 3 am, do you want to sleep with me? Huh?" He stared at her and leaned closer, with his face almost touching her cheeks. He smirked and waited for her to get embarrassed and leave. 

  However, she didn't even flinch when hearing his keen words. She chuckled and said, " Mr. Han, are you ridiculing me or inviting me? If you can't handle the consequences of your words then don't say it. I want to sleep with you but not now. I am so hungry. Do you have some instant noodles?" She asked while walking towards the kitchen.

  He knitted his brows and asked, " Why do you need instant noodles at this time?" 

  " Because I am hungry. My noodles have finished and I need to buy them again. I didn't buy it in the morning because I thought I could eat something at the banquet but…. unfortunately, hearing the praising words, my appetite took a downhill." She rubbed her stomach while looking for something to eat.

  He frowned when he remembered the doctor's words. She has drunk too much and that too on an empty stomach. Moreover, he knows her kitchen's condition, there is nothing to eat. He can't understand how she even lives? How can she have nothing to eat at her home, not even fruits? 

  He shook his head and walked towards the kitchen, he opened his refrigerator and pulled out some veggies from it.

  " Go and sit there." He motioned her to sit at the chair in front of the serving counter.

  She was elated hearing his words and did as he instructed. 

  In 10 minutes, he brought a freshly made vegetable sandwich and a glass of milk. She blinked and wondered why he didn't make the noodles for her. It would be easy and tasty though.

  He read her expressions and said, "Your immunity is already worse, and you want to eat instant noodles before going to sleep? Eat this and drink this milk. This will help you to feel full and you will be able to sleep properly." 

  She smiled and said, " Yes Boss." 

  How can she forget that he is the same person who never let her buy candies when they were young. Since she loves sweet things, she always buys candies and chocolates whenever they go to the mart. But he always stops her from doing so because she already got a cavity from eating so many sweets. Even after years later, he was acting the same. 

  She has changed, her whole face has changed but his personality is the same……

  A week later, it was the day of the final evaluation for the group that the newly acquired company under Han Zihao is going to launch. 

  She dressed in a white blouse, pastel pink color, and white checked blazer, paired with a matching skirt which was giving her a formal look overall. She didn't spend much time on her hair and just combed it and let them loose on her shoulders.

  Just as she was leaving for work, her phone buzzed. She looked at the message and frowned. 

  [ It's your first time attending work right? Good luck. However, don't tell anyone that you know me. I am just your employer like others. I will not go easy on you even though you're my neighbor. Also, don't even expect me to help you to make connections to the company. You're given the job but it's your responsibility to handle the people and things out there. Go and work. Don't be lazy.

  Han Zihao]

  "-_-"

  " What a heartfelt message it is." She mocked seeing his message. Was he encouraging her or giving her a warning?

  It was the first time he had sent her this long message just to send this. He is such a mood pooper. 

  " Jiang Yue seems like you need to work hard all over again. It's not going to be easy, so just….phew." she breathed out and patted her chest to relax.

  …..

  She was about to take a taxi but she realized that she had spent almost all of her money on items which she didn't even need urgently. Like clothes, bags, food deliveries, and a few household items which could have been delayed. 

  Although she had taken a fair amount in compensation from Gu Zhang but she never thought that money could be spent so easily that too in a few months. 

  She sighed and walked to the nearest bus stop. 'You can't take taxis anymore Ji……Xu Nuan. It's too expensive. If you can't cook, at least save some money to eat later on. You can't be a burden on your future boyfriend….until you're his wife officially. ' she grinned upon thinking about it.

  However, her expressions darkened when the buses that came were packed with people with no place to sit anywhere. She took a deep breath and waited, " I can just take the next one. Relax."

  However, even after 20 minutes, and missing 4 buses in the meantime, her face turned pale. How come all the buses that come are so packed with people?

  She never rode a bus in her entire life. Even during her struggling period, she was not struggling in terms of finances. This life was making her see the things that she has never done in her whole life.

  Another bus arrived, which was filled with people, she sighed and hesitated before getting on it. " Go Xu Nuan Go." 

  She walked over the bus and was about to step on it when she heard someone calling her name.

  " Xu Nuan." 

  She paused and looked behind the bus. She was surprised to see the car parked behind the bus. She looked at Yuhan who was looking at her in pure surprise.

  She pursed her lips and then at the bus driver who was waiting for her to get on. She gulped and bowed down, and apologized before walking towards his car.

  The driver was surprised seeing her walking away rather than getting on it. He shook his head and closed the door and drove away.

  " What are you doing here? Are you going somewhere?" Yuhan asked when she walked towards his car. He looked at her formal clothes which make her look professional and beautiful.

  As long as he knows, she has not entered any university yet and is not working anywhere either. Then why did she wear formal clothes?

  Xu Nuan nodded while standing near the car, looking at him. His head was peaking out of the window as they talked.

  " Yes. I am going to work. But it seems like I am already late." She pursed her lips and looked at her watched.

  He raised his brows and offered her a ride without asking much. She was elated and agreed to his request without thinking again.

  …
In the car, Yuhan glanced at Xu Nuan and was surprised how beautiful and charismatic she was looking. He remembered about the day when Hn Zihao took Xu Nuan from him and introduced himself as her boyfriend. 

  "Where are you working? I mean there are many offices on the central road you know." He said while trying to not be nosy. 

  "Erm……I don't know if you have heard its name or not, but it's an entertainment company, named Shining bright. It's near that Q&Q cafe`." She told him casually. She doesn't feel awkward around him.

  He is not like Gu Xingren, so she doesn't treat him like a stranger either. She treats the person the way they treat her. If he is being good to her, then there is no way for her to treat him rudely.

  Yuhan frowned and shot her a glance. His lips parted a bit as he couldn't decipher the situation.

  " You're working at shining bright? Since when?"

  "From today." She replied while looking at her phone.

  " You know about that company?" She asked, seeing his troubled expressions.

  He took a deep breath and replied, " Yes. I have heard that the bright entertainment was on the verge of bankruptcy when someone acquired it and changed its name to shining bright. Even though it has been acquired, it does not have much future."

  Xu Nuan frowned and asked, " Why? Why do you think so?"

  " Because it's my competitor company. Do you want me to wish for my competitor to work well and increase my workload?" He stated while driving 

  She frowned and asked, " You're also working in the entertainment industry? Since when?"

  He scowled when he heard her words. " Xu Nuan, did you forget that Y light entertainment is our company? It is one of the top three companies in this business. Do you think that this newly built company can match this level?" he boasted.

  She chuckled and said, " Yes. Maintaining the crown is much more difficult than snatching one. So don't be so proud Mr. Yao. No wealth is lifelong." She sighed after saying this.

  Even after earning so much money, now she was left with nothing and had to start anew.
