Bab 43: He is different.
Xu Nuan nodded after hearing his response. However, even if he went on a trip, he could have at least informed her.
Didn't he promise to take care of her meals, she was waiting for him…*ahem* for his food delivery, which never came.
Han Zihao didn't remove his gaze from her and stared at her intently.
"-_-"
Xu Nuan was trying hard to ignore him but she could feel his constant gaze on her. She cleared her throat and turned to him and asked, " Do you like me?" her lips curled up as she teased him.
"-_-"
Feng Sheng was shocked when he heard Xu Nuan's questions. He almost put a brake but controlled himself, thinking that he was driving.
It took lots of patience for him to continue driving and not turn around and see Han Zihao's reaction. Only Xu Nuan has the guts to ask this question directly to this monster, that too at a so
randomly.
It's not that she is the only girl who hit on him, but their consequences were not something to be proud of. He was wondering how he would react to the Xu Nuan's impromptu question.
Han Zihao pursed his lips in a thin line and stared at her indifferently. He raised his brows wondering what she was thinking, but he felt a little intimidated seeing her strong, charming yet seductive gaze.
He clears his throat and says, " What non.. nonsense. How can you even ask this question?" He stuttered a little while responding.
She chuckled and said, " Oh! I caught you. You're blushing Mr. Han. So you're denying, hah. Trying hard to get? Well, Mr. Han, you should be glad that I, Jia...Xu Nuan is flirting with you. Not everyone gets a golden chance like this." She winked at him while flashing a beautiful smile on her face.
"-_-"
"-_-"
Both Han Zihao and Feng Sheng were surprised by hearing Xu Nuan's words.
For Han Zihao, it was still a little difficult to see Xu Nuan in a different light. He has dug deeper about her past and she seems like a very obedient, easily intimidated quiet girl. She was never a mischievous child and was very quiet and easily manageable when she came to Gu Family.
However, seeing the Xu Nuan in front of her, she doesn't look like an obedient girl at all. It's hard to imagine that this is the same obedient and innocent girl everyone talks about.
She has said that she is not the same as before and has changed a lot. But does a person change so much? To this extent?
Han Zihao gathered his composure and said, " Ms. Gu, you should focus on your studies. Your priority should be getting into a College not hitting on others."
She raised her brows not expecting this response from him. She chuckled and said, " Mr. Han is acting like my dad, huh? Studies? Why do I need to study? And why do you care if I study or not?"
" Cough, cough" Feng Sheng couldn't help but cough hearing her words. His mind suddenly went on another track hearing the word, 'Dad'.
Han Zihao tightened his jaw and glared at Feng Sheng. After that, he turned to her and said," If not study then what are you planning? Find a rich guy and get married? Is that what you are aiming for?"
" Ms. Gu, let me tell you one thing, rather than finding a rich guy, it's better to focus on your career. People come and go, rather than finding someone to depend on, you need to learn to rely on yourself. No man can respect you if you don't learn to respect yourself."
"-_-"
Xu Nuan was surprised when she heard his words. Though she meant what she said, however, he didn't understand the context of her words. But, what he said, really surprised her.
She was speechless and just stared at him in a daze. Qin Ju has always said to her in the past that she is too strong and not feminine at all. Since she always makes her decision, he always told her that she is not like women and always acts arrogantly. After finding that he cheated on her, she wondered for a moment if it was because of her strong personality. Do men really not like strong and confident women?
However, she reminded herself to be strong and not get swayed by such ridiculous thoughts. Society will never be happy for women. They will call you a gold digger if you depend on men, they will call you arrogant bitch and sl*t if you are capable and independent. However, being an arrogant bitch is better than being a gold digger because at least you don't need to depend on others.
Hearing his words, hse felt like that out of all the men that she has encountered, only he has the vision which matches hers. She started to see him in a different light now. He is not the same arrogant young master that she has thought he is.
' He is different.'
*Ahem*, "I never said that I want to find a rich guy and get married. Mr. Han seems like you are getting so many marriage proposals these days that you can't think about anything other than marriage." She teased him which changed his tense expressions.
" Then what were you going to do if not study? You only passed from school. Shouldn't you at least graduate from a university?" he asked while placing his tablet aside.
She shook her head and said, " Entering into a university is just an option. Not a necessity. I have different plans for my future other than getting into a university." She said while leaning back on the seat and closing her eyes.
Han Zihao frowned and sighed seeing her personality. She is just 21, so shouldn't she focus on her studies? Is she not thinking of getting into a university because of her bad marks? Or because of the tuition fees?
He has seen the way the Gu family treats her and Gu Zhang had said that he had nothing to do with her at the hospital last time.

Bab 44: I am still growing.
After 20 minutes, the car stopped in front of the Jade Island hotel which was less crowded than other hotels because of its special VIP policy. Even though it's lunchtime, it was not crowded because not everyone can book a table here.
It was a hotel which was visited by the big company executives or the President of the country. It's not only a hotel where everyone can stay but its restaurant was much more popular among elites. Jiang Yue used to be one of those VIPs in her past life.
She had a sense of nostalgia seeing this place again. She sighed softly and was about to open the car door when someone pulled it from the outside.
Her hand, which was stretched to open the door, stayed in the air as she stared at Han Zihao who opened the door for her. Even Qin Ju never acted like this towards her.
She blinked and realized that this little gesture of him, made her heart flutter.
' No doubt women like chivalrous men. They look more charming when they do this.' the little girl inside him was screaming seeing his chiseled jaw from below.
She blinked when she realized that he was standing there and was staring at her. She shook her head to make the perverted monster away.
She stepped out of the car, and he shut the door after her.
" Let's go." He buttoned up his coat and walked towards the hotel.
She followed him but paused in her steps. Her gaze fell on the large poster outside the hotel.
[ Jiang Yue - We will always miss you!] These words were written on the banner with her photo, which she had taken in one of her photoshoots.
She pursed her lips and asked the guard standing there, " This poster...why is it here?" She asked while pointing towards it.
" She was the most popular idol and was our regular customer. Our hotel Chef was her fan, so after she passed away, he arranged this banner here in her memory." He responded to her question politely.
She pursed her lips as she felt a little emotional. The strangers are doing all this for her, while the people who were closest to her stabbed her in the back.
Han Zihao, who was walking ahead, stopped in his steps seeing that she was not following. He turned around and saw her staring at the poster.
He knitted his brows and said, " What are you waiting for? Don't forget we are here for a meeting."
" Ah, Yes." She woke up from her trance and shook her head before following him.
…..
The waiter showed them their table. Since it was a lunch meeting, Feng Sheng had arranged a private room for their lunch. It was a separate room with a large round table in the middle, with chairs placed around it.
In the room, there was a wall fountain on the right side while the other wall was filled with beautiful aesthetic paintings.
The other party hadn't arrived yet, so Han Zihao and Xu Nuan were alone in the room.
When they entered the room, Han Zihao pulled a chair for her, just like the car door. She looked at him in wonder and sat on the chair while thanking him.
She looked around and smiled. She has a strange sense of attachment to this hotel. She feels like coming back to the home when she comes here.
Han Zihao saw her beaming in happiness and wondered how come she doesn't feel out of place at all. She looked so comfortable here. Technically, it should be the first time she visited here, then why does she look more familiar and comfortable than him?
" When is your client coming?" She said while drinking the water.
" Soon. You can order if you are hungry." He said while passing her the menu.
She blinked her eyes and asked, " Wouldn't it be rude to order before your party comes?"
He shook his head and said, " It's okay. You are here to eat anyway. No one will care about you." He said with a smirk on his face.
"-_-"
Xu Nuan made an annoyed face and looked at the waiter who was ready to take their order.
" I want spicy lobsters, Sichuan pork, a serving of egg fried rice and dumplings. And for drinks, give me a white wine please." She said without reading the menu.
What is special about this hotel was, it not only serves the western cuisine but Chinese even some local items as well.
It has all kinds of dishes available here and it's amazing. She can't get enough of them.
Han Zihao stared at her in a daze and was surprised how easily she placed the order. It's her first time here, so why does she look so comfortable? And does she remember the menu by her heart that she doesn't even need to look at that?
" Anything else, Madam?" The waiter asked politely.
" No. I am done. You can take Sir's order now. " She said while pointing at Han Zihao.
"-_-"
Han Zihao's mouth in shock hearing her words. What?
" So you are going to eat all of that alone? So much? Can you even finish all this?" He asked in shock.
She nodded and said, " Mr. Han, I am still growing. How can you keep count of what I eat? You should not count the dishes you eat, it's not good." She said while using the growing card.
He scoffed seeing how efficiently she uses her growing card according to her convenience.
Han Zihao placed his order and said, " Also, don't put mushrooms in her dishes." He said while pointing at Xu Nuan.
The waiter noted and left the room.
Xu Nuan was browsing through the internet on her phone when she froze hearing his words. He remembered? She had once said in the hospital while ordering food that she can't mushrooms.
Just now, even she forgot to say to the waiter but he remembered.
How? How can he remember even the smallest detail about her?
