After the woman left with her daughter, Xu Nuan turned to Han Zihao and asked while looking at him with her interrogative gaze, "Why did you give her a voucher? Were you really scolding her?"

  He glanced at her and replied calmly, " I wasn't scolding the girl. I was just……correcting her. It was not her fault anyway." He said while trying to find a comfortable position on his seat.

  " But didn't you hear her mother's words? Why didn't you say anything to her? Are you really my boyfriend? She shook her head in helplessness.

  Han Zihao turned to her and looked at her with interest as the corners of his lips curled up, " Boyfriend? Since when I became your boyfriend? Aren't we……just friends?" he said while making her remember her words that she said a while ago.

  She pursed her lips and glared at him, scolding him inwardly but said, " When did I say boyfriend romantically? I just meant the boy who is a friend." she explained seriously.

  He scoffed hearing her so-called explanation.

  After a long awkward silence, he sighed and responded to her previous question, " Didn't you see that woman's face? After seeing her daughter apologizing, I am sure she must have felt guilty about her behavior. After all, she didn't correct her but also acted rudely, representing a bad example. She must have felt embarrassed when the girl apologized." He glanced at her while smiling triumphantly at his witty response.

  " I don't think she was embarrassed in any way." she numbered in a low voice while thinking about that woman's arrogant face and the annoying expressions that she showed while apologizing robotically.

  "Well anyway! I never had kids so I don't know how to deal with them. Seems like you're good at this. So it's final……when we have our kids, you're gonna be in charge of their moral education. Otherwise, if they learned all these things from me……I am afraid that you won't be able to handle two……or more troublemakers like me." She said seriously while thinking about their imaginary future. 

  "……"

  Han Zihao stared at her with his eyes wide, his ears turned instantly red hearing her talking about their kids. Isn't she thinking too much? They aren't even dating yet and she was thinking about marriage and kids.

  He gulped nervously while looking away from her. It would be wrong to say that he wasn't liking her extraordinary imaginations. He is 29 years old and he never thought about marriage even once. The only important matter in his life was work and office, nothing else.

  His whole family was worried about him seeing that let alone a girlfriend, he doesn't even have any friends. His grandmother was the most worried about his social life which was going into work only.

  He won't be lying to say that he came out to watch a movie for the first time. After the incident with his mother, he has cut off ties with the outer world and was just keeping himself busy by doing something after something. Resting was the last option in his life.

  However, being with her and coming out for a movie, doesn't sound too bad. Although he didn't like the movie that much, the whole mood and environment was new to him and made him feel that there is a life after work as well. 

  ' This girl……what has she done to my life!' he laughed bitterly while looking at her from the side, thinking how she had caused a ruckus in his life since the day she had woken up after the operation-

  After their movie appointment, Han Zihao drove them back to the house. She kept talking about how that girl called her aunty on their back to their house. He sighed as he felt his ears aching after hearing her grumbling for so long.

  He was surprised that after working for the whole day, she still has the energy to talk so much. She doesn't give rest to her mouth even for a minute.

  Upon reaching in front of their door, Xu Nuan was about to punch the password on her door lock when she heard Han Zihao's words from behind, " You still haven't told me where you used that money."

  He walked close to her and looked at her seriously, waiting for an answer. 

  She stared at him for a while and spoke after a few minutes of silence, " Come with me." she said before unlocking her door through the password.

  Han Zihao followed her to the inside and now he wasn't even surprised to see her house which was in mess. Things were clattered here and there, the trash of cup noodles trash was on the main table, and some even on the floor. 

  He scanned the living area and searched for a cleaned place for him to sit down. Is this a human's house? He wondered.

  Why does she live like that?

  " Here", he was busy looking around her disorganized house, when Xu Nuan came out of her bedroom and threw a business card on the glass table. Han Zihao who wasn't even sitting yet picked up the card and looked at it while standing.

  " My Home Orphanage? You donated the money here?" he asked while raising his eyebrows at her in surprise. He knows that Xu Nuan was in a financial bind and was spending what she was earning from the job and doesn't even have anything extra to save. 

  She tries to save subway money by taking buses that she hates the most or was trying to eat the food that was made by local stalls than those high-class restaurants. He doesn't know since when she had those high-class habits since he knows that the Gu family has never given her any luxury but it seems like she was trying to adjust to this lifestyle.

  So he was not expecting her to donate money. He would have understood if she had used it for her use or for the girls who are going to debut under her, but she donated to an orphanage? 

  She took a seat at the solo couch while Han Zihao sat adjacent to her while looking at her seriously. 

  She nodded and said, " Actually, it's not a big deal. I happen to find out about this orphanage when I went to the hospital yesterday and happen-

  " Hospital? You went to the hospital? Why? Are you hurt anywhere? Or do you still feel weak or dizzy?" His expressions turned worrisome as he held onto her shoulders, turning her to the sides to check if she is alright.

  "……"

  Xu Nuan was surprised to see his worrisome expressions and blinked while staring at him. He never showed his worry when she fainted in his car, he always kept his cool and acted indifferent. Why does this Han Zihao feel different?

  Since they have come back from the movie, his expressions seem quite off. He looked……much more smiley and expressive? She couldn't put the difference but the way he felt was different.

  He didn't get possessed by anyone there, right?

  After staring at him for a long time in a daze, she finally gained her senses and responded, " I am fine. I was just having headaches, maybe due to overwork so I went to the doctor for a checkup. It was nothing serious but just a precautionary checkup." she said.

  After the operation, it has been a few years but since the operation was major she had to visit the hospital for her checkup to see if everything is fine or not, especially when she has visited the ER so many times after discharging from the hospital. 

  " So how come you find out about this orphanage? And why this only?" he asked in confusion. 

  " Actually, after my checkup, I heard the doctor's conversation with another department's doctor and found out about a girl who was admitted to the hospital because of her heart condition. She has had a weak heart since birth and is only 5 but her condition was worsening and she was in dire need of a heart transplant to survive." she narrated the story while ignoring his gaze.

  " However, she was not only young but an orphan as well. Her orphanage didn't have the money for her further medical expenses nor anyone was coming out for help for them. And coincidentally, the doctors found her match and she can get into operation right away……only if surgery fees were paid in advance."

  " That's when I remembered about the cheque. Since I already had the cheque and it was an emergency, I paid for the surgery and recovery medicine fees in advance instead of the orphanage. Although it was yesterday that I gave the cheque, thankfully the doctors and staff were nice enough, they gave me the time by today to clear the payment since banks take time to process the payment. And that's how the bank processed the transaction and your mother waged a war at your office today." she said laughingly as if she was talking about someone else.

  Han Zihao stared at her with his complicated gaze, wondering which Xu Nuan is real? She always tries to act strong and sometimes mean and carefree, but her actions speak otherwise. She was talking about donating the money and saving someone's life so casually that she looked as if she was talking about someone else.
