Chapter 232 - Why Is He Coming So Close?
Chapter 232 – Why Is He Coming So Close?
Xu Nuan's body turned into ice when she heard his words. She jumped back and tried to hide her phone behind her back, " No!! Why would I record you? How can you even think about such a ridiculous idea? Ha…Ha…Ha…", she laughed nervously, avoiding his observing gaze.
She was still not over how he didn't say anything despite knowing the truth about her not being Xu Nuan but Jiang Yue. All this time she was avoiding him and was struggling alone to tell him the truth yet he just watched her making a joke of herself in front of him since he was aware of everything.
In the past few days, she couldn't sleep properly as she was worried about how he would react after knowing the truth. Although she was expecting him to be glad that she is alive, there was a chance that he would be heartbroken since she didn't say anything when she found out about his feelings for her (Jiang Yue).
She wasn't exactly angry now after thinking it through since it made lots of things easier for her. However, she just wanted to prank him and make his video by bombing him with breakup news.
She wanted to record his reaction and wanted to tease him later on, playing the video and laughing at his expressions.
It would be so satisfying.
She was allowed to do this much to make herself feel better. She was not being childish and petty while doing this small prank.
She is not being immature. Not at all!! It's just a small…friendly prank.
But how did he catch on to it? She was sure that she wasn't laughing when she said those words. She has a habit of laughing at the wrong times, but she didn't laugh this time.
She was sure of it.

Han Zihao chuckled seeing her denying it outrightly and raised his eyebrows, looking at the phone that she was hiding behind her back," Has anyone ever told you that you can't act? You were making your phone obvious while recording and you were too stiff while lying."
" It was a good thing that you didn't get into acting, otherwise you would have embarrassed yourself even further," he commented, making her breathe heavily in anger. How…how can he say that to her face?
She knows that she can't act but there was no reason for him to say this on her face.
" Han Zihao!! You…you're such an…!!"
" What?"
"Asshole".
" Did you forget that I am older than you? Is that how you talk to people older than you?"
" Hah! Older my ass!! You might be older than Xu Nuan but there isn't much difference between you and me. You're just 4 years older than me." she spatted at him in anger.
Since he already knows that she is Jiang Yue, is there any need for her to not be herself and pretend like Xu Nuan? Polite and gentle. Well, she was not being gentle before too, but at least she was trying to control her original self….to some extent.
" 4 years older is still old I think."
She rolled her eyes at him and huffed in frustration, " So what? What do you want me to call you? Grandpa or Uncle? Well, I guess Uncle will suit you better since Xu Nuan is 8 years younger than you." she showed him the tongue, making his expressions turn dark.
He breathes out heavily, " Continue to act like this and forget about finding out how I find out the truth. You don't seem curious anyway." he said, threatening her.
Saying this, he walked towards the couch while Xu Nuan stared at his back, in a daze.
Since when did this sloth become a bitchy fox?
She was curious as hell.
She wants to know how he knows that she is not Xu Nuan but Jiang Yue. Because she never told him the truth, nor has she told anyone else about it other than Lin Hui.
Then how?
She took a sharp breath and walked towards the couch, " Hoho!! Mr. Han, you're taking me wrong. I came here to do a truce treaty. Let's just stop fighting and restore the peace." She said, stretching her hand for a handshake.
He stares at her hand and then at her face, " We were fighting?"
"We were not?" She frowned.
" You were the one who stopped talking to me and ignored me. So it wasn't a fight, not from my side at the least."
Seeing his serious expressions, she was speechless. Does he have to spit facts here? Can't he just accept it just like this?
She smiled awkwardly and was about to take back her hand when he held her hand and shook hands with her, holding onto it tightly.
She raised her brows and stared at his hands that were holding onto her hand tightly.
"If you want peace, then peace it is. Let's sit here. We have lots of things to discuss." He sits on the couch while pulling her to sit beside him.
She blinked as she suddenly found herself sitting beside him close." So…how did you find out that it's me? Like….I don't think it was that obvious that I am not Xu Nuan but Jiang Yue." She asked, looking at him in confusion.
Even Xu Nuan's family couldn't realize that she is not Xu Nuan, then how can he? Moreover, it was not something that anyone can guess easily. At most, they will think that she has gone crazy after the accident or was hiding her true self before. But coming to this conclusion was something unusual.
He chuckled, " Oh, if you think you have hidden yourself well, then you're so wrong."
" Your actions and way of talking are nowhere near to Xu Nuan's."
"…"
She was speechless at his cheekiness. Wasn't he being too direct with his comments? " Oh really? And you know Xu Nuan personally? How do you know that she wouldn't have acted as I did?"
" Even Xu Nuan's family didn't realize that I was not Xu Nuan but someone else. Then how can you say that with sureness? Hmph!!"
" Do you think her family knows her well enough to care about such things?" He scoffed, feeling a little strange to talk about Xu Nuan like this.
The girl in front of him was Jiang Yue but she looks like Xu Nuan. This is some high-level delusion.
Upon hearing his reasoning, she frowned and nodded. The Gu family doesn't seem to care about Xu Nuan. When they can leave their daughter who just had an operation after the accident at the hospital alone, then what else can she expect from them?
When she realized what was happening, she glared at him, " I acted well or not, that's not the point. The point is, how did you find out the truth? Just say it I will-
He smirks and leans in, surprising her, " Or you what?"
She held her breath and blinked nervously, ' Why is he coming so close?'
" You…You..talk from there. Don't try to use your handsome face to get away from the situation."
" So I can get away from it using my 'handsome' face?" He raises his brows, seeing her crimson face.
