Xu Nuan was holding onto her phone as she walked towards her vanity table. Yuhan was still trying to understand her logic that she doesn't want to go to her family banquet enthusiastically and was just going there for so-called formality.
"AhhhhHh.."
He was about to speak when he heard her piercing shriek. He was startled and asked worriedly, " What? What's wrong? Are you okay? Hey…" he was worried that sothing might have happened.
Old Gu has told him that she was living alone and it was her first ti living alone since she ca to the family. Even at the orphanage, there were other people so she was technically not alone there either. Moreover, she didn't co ho after her accident and had to do everything even after she was discharged from the hospital.
For so reason, he felt bad for her. The recuperation period after an operation is very important, otherwise, it can make your body lethargic and exhausted all the ti. Sotis, injuries don�����t heal properly either.
However, his worries vanished when he heard her curses.
…..
Xu Nuan was looking at her reflection in the mirror and a frown appeared on her forehead. She gritted her teeth as she mumbled, " What a shi#$y fate I have. I stayed at ho for so long and nothing happened. I am going out in days and a disgusting pimple pop up on my right cheek? Hell! My right profile was much better." Her nose scrunched up as she looked at her face.
" Ah, wait. The right profile is not my best profile anymore. But why does this pimple has to appear right before the banquet? " She whined while touching the area around the pimple with her fingers which was big enough to ruin her whole look.
"-_-"
Yuhan couldn't help but chuckle. Is this really Xu Nuan? She curses at every small thing. Her mouth doesn't shut up as she continues to speak, be it to others or herself.
He sighed and shakes his head helplessly before saying, " So I will be there by 8. Be ready on ti. I don't like people who don't value the ti."
" Ah, it seems quite big. Seems like I need to do sothing about it. Ah, you said sothing." She was speaking to herself when she realized he was also saying sothing.
"-_-"
Yuhan sighed and gritted his teeth, " Nothing. I will be there by 8. You can continue whatever you…"
He gritted his teeth and glanced at his phone. She hangs up before even listening to his words? What happened to her?
He was speechless wondering if that head injury really affected her brain.
She didn't forget her mories, did she? Because of the way she was acting, it was exactly different than before.
' Ah, I don't know. I just need to complete my task to take her to the banquet.'
…..
After hanging up the call, Xu Nuan looked at the ti and pursed her lips. It was only 12 pm. It's been at least 20 minutes since she woke up. If not for his call, she would have slept by 1 pm.
"Ah, he ruined my beauty sleep." She groans and throws her hands in the air in annoyance.
She made so coffee for herself and sat on her couch in the living room as she turned on her tv. She pursed her lips as nothing interesting was coming on the TV.
" Aye, what kind of boring dramas are they making these days? Rich and arrogant CEO, sweet innocent poor girl. I an, why the hell, all the female leads are so naive in these dramas. Seems like they haven't seen the girls in real life." She shakes her head helplessly.
"Look at Xingren. She is hella beautiful and has gentle looks to make her the female lead but just look at her personality. I have never seen soone with such a shitty personality."
" Wait, I have. Hao i was also the sa. But...she was indeed cute." She pursed her lips and stared at nowhere when she rembered how she ruined their lives at the press conference.
She did take her revenge but she doesn't feel good about it. That press conference ended their relationship forever.
She knows that Hao i was not like that. When they just started their career, Hao i was the sweetest and was loved by all the mbers since she was the youngest. However, it seems like the toxic culture of this industry hit her hard and the jealousy and fa climbed up to her head, that she forgot what was more precious to her. Xu Nuan sighed and realized that by the ti, their relationship beca more like a business and lost the color of it.
" Hao i...why….when you beco like this?" She felt her voice choking as she mumbled while tilting her head back, to not let the tears fall out. It's easier to hate a stranger than a close friend becoming a stranger.
She looked around and frowned that she was living in a big condo but...no one was there. She was sitting in the room...alone.
" Ah…. it's so annoying." She sat on the couch with her legs crossed and stared at the tv in a daze.
Since she ca back to life as Xu Nuan, she often faces such monts where she feels her whole life crumbling and the forced loneliness takes over her. She misses her friends but the ssed-up relationship makes her fear that if she tried to mix herself with her past life, she might find sothing more shocking.
Xu Nuan who was sitting there in a trance got startled when her phone started ringing. She looked at her phone and a smile appeared on her face seeing the na on the screen.
'Seems like I am not that alone.'
She picked up the call and said, " How co Mr. Han got the ti to call ? Hmm?" She said in a relatively low voice while sniffling while trying hard to sound cheerful.
Han Zihao who called her for sothing was surprised hearing her voice. He frowned and asked, " Were you crying?"
Xu Nuan smiled seeing that he was showing interest. No matter how much he denies, but she knows that his heart was involuntarily moving towards her.
After all, her charm is no joke!
' Ah, was it too much?' she wondered if it's okay to be so narcissistic.
" Yes. I was missing you, so I couldn't help but cry." She said jokingly.
He didn't say anything for a while, so she asked, " You must have called for sothing. What is it?"
He rembered why he called, so to shift her attention, he said, " Ah, the thing we talked about the other day, the company is going to launch a girl group which will be their main project for this year. And this will be their first-ever project after the company was acquired. The final evaluation of the mbers of the group is going to be held after a week. You can attend the evaluation and start your work. " He said with no emotions whatsoever.
She raised her brows and asked, " So... you're making their manager? Like really? Isn't this project very important since this is going to be the first project after taking over this company?" She had just told him that day that she will be the manager and will not do anything less than that.
She knows the thing which she can do best. And other than being a perforr, she knows that she is capable of doing this. Because being the manager, she can not only handle the schedules but can help the artists in many other ways.
However, it's a very big responsibility which he is giving to her without any questions.
" Don't you fear that I will ss up with this project?"
His lips curled up in a smirk as he said, " If you ss up, then who do you think will lose in this situation? Didn't you say that if you made this company one of the top entertainnt companies in a year, you would take 10% shares of the company? And if you lose, you will pay all the salaries you've been given with interest?" He repeated her words to remind her not to forget her own promise.
"-_-"
Xu Nuan opens her mouth and then closes it. Crap! She let her mouth spout nonsense again.
How can she make such a stupid deal? Getting the shares was fine but how can she say that she will return the salary with interest? Does she still think of herself as soone whose bank account is filled with money and she has nothing to spend on?
" Do...do you think that I can take my words back? It's not practical to return my salary with interest, does it?" She laughs awkwardly.
" No! The verbal agreent has been made and I will send the written one in a few days. So do work hard if you don't want to pay back all of your salaries with interest?"
"-_-"
" What? Are you serious? Mr. Han, that's not fair. How can you talk about money between us? How can you do sothing like this to ?" she pouted her lips and wondered why she runs her mouth so much without thinking.
" Is that who made that promise? It's you, and a verbal agreent is still an agreent. I have the agreent recorded in the dashcam of my car, so don't think that you can get away with this. I am very serious about my business." He said sternly, shutting her up.
She pursed her lips and humphed when she heard his words again. How can he do this to her future wife? Hmph! She gave almost half of her wealth to him and he was asking for her salary with interest in return?
Greedy Han Zihao!
