~Present~

  Jia Fei scoffed in disbelief and put down her chopsticks and stared at Yuhan who was still filling his mouth with noodles, " So you're telling me that it was me who removed my clothes and barged into your room? Does that even make sense? " Jia Fei's eyes widened in shock as she couldn't process what she just heard. 

  She, The Queen of every girl's heart, how can she do this kind of embarrassing thing?

  " Do you think I am lying here? Is that what you're trying to say?" Yuhan was speechless too. This girl is too stubborn to be true. 

  " That…That's not what I mean." Jia Fei bit her lower lips and exhaled heavily. She blinked nervously and looked away, feeling embarrassed of what she said. However, she also can't believe whatever he said and on top of that, she has almost no memory of last night. 

  Her cheeks blushed at the thought of how embarrassingly she acted in front of him last night. Even though she is comfortable with him and told him that she can even go to the bathroom together with him, it's not like she truly meant that comment. 

  He is still a man after all. 

  " Arghh….How embarrassing." She sighed heavily and covered her face with her palms. It was embarrassing enough to hear the story of last night from him. It would have been worse if she had remembered everything.

  Yuhan, who was watching her reaction, intently chuckled and reached out to pat her shoulders gently, " Forget about all that and eat your noodles. Otherwise, they will become soggy." He added to make her move on from whatever happened and forget about everything. 

  After eating Jia Fei was about to get up and take away her dishes when she heard him say, " Also, try to forget him as well."

  " Hmm?" She looked over at him in confusion. 

  Yuhan, who was also collecting his dishes, looked at her and said, " It's called unrequited love for a reason. Some stories are bound to be left incomplete."

  " Also, he is not the only man in this whole world. If you open your heart a bit, I am sure you will find someone better than him who will be glad to come into your world." He said seriously. 

  Jia Fei stared at him seriously and was amused to see this kind of serious side of him. She smiled and sighed before nodding, " Although it was embarrassing, after confessing again to him yesterday, I feel better and light at heart." 

  " Even though I was rejected once again, it relieves me that at least I tried until the end. It just…I didn't want to give him up without making any effort. However, it seems like it's the right time to get over him." She said, 

  Yuhan nodded and smiled, " That's right. Also, he is not even that handsome. I am sure I am much better than him in terms of looks. Aren't I?" He straightens his posture and shows off his toned-muscular body, appealing himself to her. 

  Jia Fei chuckled at his words and commented, " Yeah! Yeah! You're the best. Especially your…broad shoulders."

  Even though Yuhan knew that she was making empty remarks, it did make his ears turn red. It sure feels good to receive a compliment. 

  'On that note, I should start going to the gym again to maintain…broad shoulders and a toned body.' He decided.

  " Isn't your office in the opposite direction? Won't you be late because of me?" Xu Nuan, who was sitting in the passenger seat asked as she checked the time on her wristwatch. 

  Even though their offices were in completely different directions, Han Zihao insisted on dropping her off at her company first. 

  " It doesn't matter. Just because of work, I cannot ruin my impression in front of my would-be wife." He responded with a wink while driving. 

  Yesterday, it was the first death anniversary of Jiang Yue but he couldn't accompany her to the cemetery as he had to go to an important meeting. 

  He was glad that Luo Dan and Jia Fei accompanied her to the cemetery at the least. Because of them, she wasn't alone. That's why he wants to drop her at the company at the least to make up for his absence yesterday. 

  Also, she seems to be in a bad mood these days, hopefully, this will cheer her up a bit. 

  Xu Nuan scoffed at his cheesy comment and mumbled in a low voice, " You're all talk and no action." She shook her head and looked out of the window. 

  He always throws such remarks at her but never seriously proposes to her for marriage. Even though she is not in a hurry to tie a knot with him, he should at least follow the procedure and formally ask her about the matter. 

  Does he seriously want her to do this deed as well? She might turn 22 this year, but the real her will soon become 26 years old. 

  Does he seriously think of her as a young girl who is in college?

  It's been a while since she moved in with him and were living almost like a married couple with no certification. Hah! He is always slow at such things. 

  " Hmm…You said something?" He asked upon seeing her mumbling something that he failed to understand. 

  Xu Nuan pursed her lips and said, " It must be good to be a President. No one dares to nag you for being late." She scoffed in annoyance. For some reason, she was getting annoyed by every single thing these days.

  'Is it because her menstruation cycle is approaching? That must be the reason.'

  Han Zihao glanced at her and was surprised by her indifferent reaction. " Look who's talking. Aren't you the CEO of the company yourself?" He teased her back. 

  " Mine is a different case. It's still a new company and needs a lot of work. Unlike you, I am busy day and night. Hmph!" She answered coldly with sarcasm and gasped at her own cold response. 

  It was her first time responding to him coldly like this when they aren't even fighting. There is no reason for them to fight but she was still getting edgy at everything he does. 

  She wasn't trying to answer in such a way, but she couldn't help it. It came out just naturally, surprising her. 'It's better to keep your mouth shut if you don't want to fight with him.' She sighed heavily and pursed her lips tightly.

  Han Zihao glanced at her and didn't say anything afterward either. It's best if he stayed quiet at the moment. That's one of the traits needed in a relationship, patience.
