Xu Nuan was lying on her back in her bed and was staring at the pale ceiling while wondering about the events that were happening recently. It's been three days since he gave the scholarship test and was now waiting for the result that will come out in two weeks. 

  However, more than that she was worried about Han Zihao and her relationship. He has proposed to her that day but there wasn't much progress. In the last few days, she was busy with the group activities and exams. 

  They always do something and then come at a stagnant point. He has been quite active these days, she can feel it. However, there is something that was making her hesitant to be active just like before. 

  He was looking at her as Xu Nuan, she wanted him to see her as Xu Nuan but when he was doing so, she was not only feeling uncomfortable but guilty as well. What if he feels betrayed and gets angry with her? What if he wants to end things before they could start officially?

  She felt bothered about it. 

  When she started chasing him, she told him that she would tell him the truth when he will accept her heart. However, when things are going in the right direction, she was not only feeling uncomfortable but scared as well. 

  It's not normal for her to die and revive again in someone else's body. Just like this serious relationship, it was her first time living as someone else as well. 

  " Do I have to tell him the truth?"

  " But I can't keep lying to him always. It will be like deceiving him."

  " I can't let him feel cheated just how I felt back then. Although I am not sleeping around, being someone else and looking like someone else is still deceiving and he will feel cheated if he finds it later on." 

  " I need to tell him the truth before we can start a new journey." she sighs tiredly and closes her eyes to rest her mind that has been working all day long.  -

  The next day when she leaves for work, Han Zihao was again waiting for her in front of her building to give her a ride. She pursed her lips and knocked on his window for him to lower it down, " Why are you knocking instead of getting on?" He asks in confusion. 

  " Ermm……Mr. Han, your car is quite extravagant and too much for a mere manager like me to be seen getting off in such a luxury car. I think it will be better for me to take a bus to work today. See you later, Bye." As said this, she hurriedly ran towards the opposite side of the road and took a bus to work. 

  While leaving him like this, she not only felt guilty for lying to him but also feeling bad for rejecting his idea of giving her a ride as well. 

  He will not hate me for this, would he? She wasn't trying to ignore him, she was just trying to find a time for her to make her mind and come clean to him. 

  She doesn't want to be impulsive in this relationship. She knows what it feels to not be truthful in a relationship, she doesn't want to repeat the same things that happened in her last life. 

  'Just a little more wait Mr. Han, give me some time to settle my weakening heart to reveal this big bomb to you. Hope you won't treat me as ghost-like others.' her lips curled up in a nervous smile wondering how will he think of her after knowing the truth.  -

  Han Zihao who was left alone in the car was dumbfounded when she said her words and left to take a bus. What just happened? However, seeing her nervousness and the way she was avoiding his eye-contact, he felt that something was going in her head. 

  His lips curled in a smile as he sighed, " She is bad at lying, as always." He shakes his head and starts his car to leave for work. Since she needs time, he should give her some.  -

  Two weeks later, 

  At Gu Mansion, everyone was having breakfast on the dining table, when Lin Ran asked Xingren, " Xin Xin, isn't your scholarship result coming today? Do you have to go to college for that?"

  Xingren shakes her head and says, " No, Mom. It will be uploaded on the website. Rather than going to college, I am planning to accompany father to the company and learn some work for him. Studying is important but what's more important is practical learning." 

  Gu Zhang was surprised by her words and was relieved seeing her change. After her 

  punishment, she has been behaving well and seems to be reflecting on her mistakes. 

  He nodded and said, " Okay. You can come with me. But you will have to learn the work seriously and no more special privilege just because you're my daughter. If you want to lead the company, you have to learn from scratch." he said, making a smile appear on Xingren's lips. 

  " Yes, father. I will not disappoint you or Grandfather." she turns to glance at Grandfather Gu who was quiet and didn't say anything till now. 

  Upon hearing Xingren's words, he raised his brows and glanced at her. He put his chopsticks on the side and wiped his mouth with a tissue gently. 

  "Okay. Xingren can learn the work with you." 

  The smile on Xingren's lips widened even more after getting the green light from Grandfather Gu. I knew it, Grandpa cannot stay indifferent to me for long. 

  " Thanks, Grandpa, I will not disap-

  " Gu Zhang, I have some work at the office today. I will come along with you as well." He announced interrupting Xingren's words. 

  " Dad, you're coming to the office? There isn't any special meeting today, what kind of work do you have at the office?" Gu Zhang asks in confusion. 

  Even though Gu Jianhong had retired from the work but was still maintaining the position of the chairman and was leading the board of directors. He only goes to the office when there is a meeting of the board of directors or has something related to it.

    However, as long as he knows, there was nothing in the office today. It was bothersome why he was visiting the company all of a sudden. 

  Grandfather Gu pursed his lips and said coldly, " Do I have to report my schedule to you every time I visit the office?  Gu Zhang, I might have made you the President, but the company is still mine, keep that in mind from next time." His comment surprised everyone.

  What was the sudden reason for his indifference? He has never drawn a line when talking about business, then what's new this time around?
