Han Zihao frowned at the man who was dead drunk and was spouting disgusting words for Xu Nuan even in this state. He let go of Xu Nuan's hand and picked up the opened wine bottle from the table. 

  Xu Nuan held his hand and said, " Don't. You don't bark back at the dogs." 

  She was worried that he would do something that would harm his reputation. The guy might be nothing but if something big happened, it will only hurt Han Zihao's reputation. 

  He might not be a celebrity like Han Liang, but being a Business famous personality brings a lot of attention and pressure too. Not only that but Han Liang's reputation is also attached to Han Zihao. 

  Things will escalate quicker than anyone can imagine. 

  She doesn't want him to get involved in any scandal because of her. 

  He looked at her and shook his head, telling her not to worry about him. He removed her hand with his other hand and walked to Tan Hai, who was grinning on the floor like a maniac and was totally out of his senses. 

  " You're quite drunk, aren't you? I think it's time for you to come out of your stupor." He said indifferently while glaring at the man and emptied the bottle of wine on his head. 

  He was doing everything to control his anger and not smash the bottle on his head. How dare he speak to her in a way that he can never imagine doing so? 

  Who is he to think about doing anything to her when he doesn't even deserve to touch her fingernail?

  The girl he pampers her like a delicate flower, who is he to manhandle her? 

  [Ahh, who is this crazy man? Stop him!] Tan Hai tried to stop Han Zihao and wanted to punch him but Han Zihao simply avoided his weak punch and continued to torment the man on the ground. 

  [ Do you know who my father is? He is the mayor of the district. He will ruin your life if you don't stop now!] He threatened Han Zihao, but those empty threats didn't work on him. 

  After he was done, Han Zihao threw the bottle on the corner which broke into pieces. He glanced at Feng Sheng and said, " You heard him? Contact his 'Mayor' father and tell him about his son's actions. Tell him that he has been rusticated from the college for misbehaving with the girls."

  " Also….tell him to teach him a lesson before working for the other people. Otherwise, he won't be able to keep his position secured for long, because of his stupid son." He adjusted his coat before glancing at the man who was now lying unconscious on the ground and was passed out. 

  He scoffed and shook his head before turning to Xu Nuan. He removed his coat and put it on her shoulders before walking out with her.  -

  After they left, Feng Sheng got on with the work as Han Zihao instructed him. He looked at the other students who were staring at him in horror and were not sure how to react. 

  [ Who was that man? His face seemed familiar.]

  [ Did he say rusticated? But……how can he take decisions on the behalf of the college?]

  [ I am scared. That man was too overbearing just now.]

  Feng Sheng cleared his throat upon hearing the murmurs and looked at everyone, " Whatever happened in this room, the words shouldn't go out. If it did, the consequences won't be favorable for you all." He said calmly yet everyone can feel the weight of his words. 

  He is not someone to be taken lightly. 

  Everyone was already scared after what Han Zihao did. After hearing Feng Sheng's words, they could only nod in unison. 

  They don't want trouble for themselves.  -

  Xu Nuan's palms became sweaty as she silently followed Han Zihao, who was walking ahead of her and wasn't talking to her. 

  When they walked out of the club, the black car was waiting for them. He turned to her and waited for her to get inside the car. 

  As soon as she got inside the car, she was startled to see Han Liang who was in the passenger seat, and a new face was driving the car. She glanced at the man and cleared her throat before covering her legs with Han Zihao's coat-

  Han Liang glanced at Xu Nuan, who was peeking at Han Zihao and could feel the cold air in the car. He cleared his throat and said, " Why do you always get into trouble when you go out?" 

  " Seems like you carry bad luck with yourself." He teased her. 

  Xu Nuan frowned and glared at him. " Yeah, and my bad luck is you." 

  Cai Kun, who was driving the car, couldn't help but chuckle. It was his first time seeing a girl insulting Han Liang like this. 

  Normally, the girls get shy or squeal in excitement upon seeing Han Liang, who not only has a handsome face but a playful personality which is being loved by the girls. 

  But it was good to see someone who thinks Han Liang annoying as him. 

  Han Zihao found an interesting girl for himself. Nice.  -

  Han Zihao didn't speak a word during the whole ride and didn't even glance at her. She couldn't help but get timid at his behavior towards her. 

  'Is he angry at me?' She wondered. 

  When the elevator door opened on their floor, Han Zihao walked out first and was about to enter his unit when she followed him and held onto his shirt, " Wait."

  He stopped but didn't turn to face her.

  She bit her lower lip seeing his cold attitude towards her. " Are…. Are you angry at me for going to the party alone?" she asked in a low voice. 

  " I am sorry. I won't do it next time. I thought that If I go to the party, I can make some friends. I just wanted to make some efforts to adjust to this life but it seems like it's not that easy." she said while looking at his back that was facing her. 

  It was her first time seeing him treating her coldly. She can deal with anything but not his silence. 

  He didn't say anything for a few moments. She felt tears welling up in her eyes facing his silence when she heard him say, " What are you sorry about?" He asked coldly. 

  " If….I haven't gone there, this wouldn't have happened. I shouldn't -

  Upon hearing her trembling voice, he sighed and turned around. He looked at her and seeing her tearing up and trembling like this, he held her face between his palms and said, " Why do you think that I am angry at you? And why would I? It was not your fault that this happened."

  She looked at him and said in a low voice, " But you were avoiding me and didn't even say a word to me." she said while trying hard to not cry. 

  She is not the type to cry but when he wasn't talking to her, she could feel the fear settling in her. It wasn't even her fault and she knew it, but she could feel her guards breaking down in front of him.

  Everything is fine but not him getting angry at her. She can't deal with it. 

  He sighed and said, " I am not angry at you but at myself."

  " I should have broken that man's arm for trying to hurt you but I let him go just like that. I am disappointed that despite being next door, you were insulted like this and almost got injured. What if you got hurt tonight?"

  " I am angry at myself that I couldn't keep my promise to your parents. I should have protected you well." He said while caressing her face with his thumb. 

  She is like a miracle to him, how can he take it lightly and allow others to look down at her?

  Xu Nuan was speechless upon hearing his words. How can he say those as if it's nothing? 

  " And I wasn't talking to you because I didn't want to show you this side of mine. I was afraid that I might say something that would-

  Xu Nuan smiled at him and stood on her toes and kissed him on his lips. She looked into his eyes and said, " Remember my one thing, you have no right to be angry at my boyfriend. Only I can do that." 

  " No one can get angry at my boyfriend, except me." She said while rubbing her face to his jaw. 

  He was surprised to get a soft peck like this and stared at her in amusement. He wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her closer, " Someone is already getting possessive, huh? But don't they always say that, not even me? Are you allowing yourself to be angry at me? Huh," He pinched her nose, making her giggle. 

  She wrapped her arms around his neck and said, " " Why? You don't like it? Hmm?" 

  He laughed at her looking at him cutely and said in a low voice, " No!! I love it. I am giving you full liberty to be angry at me, treat me as you want." 

  She laughed and gave him a long peck on his cheeks, " I am starving. Feed me."

  He raised his brows at her words and asked, " How do you want to be fed?" 

  She pursed her lips upon hearing his suggestive words and could see his meaningful gaze. She glared at him and pulled his ear, " I want food. Don't try to be funny here, or else I will bite your ear." 

  " Well, I love that idea." He winked at her, earning a glare from her. 

  "  Haha, do you want pasta? I'll be quick." He let her go and asked while punching the password on the door. 

  She nodded, " Yes. And a beer too."

  He glared at her but she looked at him with her puppy-like gaze and said, " I am too stressed today. I deserve a drink on a day like this at least." 

  He laughed and shook his head in disbelief. ' From where did he get this drunkard?'
