Chapter 42 - Are You Even Coming Home?
Chapter 42 – Are You Even Coming Home?
Xu Nuan pursed her lips in a thin line hearing Han Zihao's words. She came to his office and rather than treating her to a sumptuous meal, he was acting coldly towards her.
Didn't he come to her place some time ago without any invitation? She came to his office only.
She scoffed and said, " I know it's not a playground. I came because I have something important to talk about." She said while folding her hands around her chest.
Han Zihao raised his brows and asked, " What is so important that you can't wait at home?"
She huffed and said, " Are you even coming home? It's been a whole damn month that you haven't come. So in the end, I have to come all the way here." She said with her voice raised a little.
She felt frustrated that first, his so-called girlfriend annoys her and now he is.
"-_-"
Zhu Ai's expressions turned gloomy when she heard Xu Nuan's words. What? Home?
Her eyes widened as she stared at Xu Nuan in shock and then at Han Zihao.
" You…you.. you're staying with this girl?" She asked Han Zihao while stuttering a little. She can't imagine that this man can live with a girl when he didn't even glance at her.
She is beautiful, elegant, and was from a high-class elite society, which guy can reject her?
Han Zihao didn't respond to Zhu Ai and stared at Xu Nuan, her words caused his lips to curve upward.
" Oh. I didn't know you were waiting for me." He said lazily, while his expressions softened.
She rolled her eyes at him. This was not the whole point of conversation, is it?
" Mr. Han, I came to talk to you about something, but if you are busy with someone, then I will take my leave. Because I don't have free time to argue with you here. " She said while glancing at Zhu Ai who was glaring at her as if she had snatched her food from her.
She started to feel a headache with all this drama. The weather is already quite hot, and she hasn't eaten anything yet. Moreover, their argument added on top of all the problems.
Although her injuries have healed quite a lot and she doesn't need to put on a bandage anymore, however, she used the concealer to hide the scar. It hurts sometimes whenever she uses her laptop for a long time or does anything strenuous activity.
Maybe it's been a long, since she came out of the house, that she was feeling uncomfortable. She massaged her temple and prepared to leave when she heard his words.
" There is no need. We are going out for a lunch meeting. You can join us." He said while fixing his wrist cuff.
" Meeting? Wouldn't it be awkward for me to attend a meeting with you?"
" It won't. Because you will only eat there. Moreover, we are going to the Jade Island Hotel, do you want to come or not?" He said casually while raising his brows.
Xu Nuan's face lit up when she heard his words. Jade Island Hotel?
" Coming, coming." She said enthusiastically like a happy child. How can she miss a chance to grab a free meal from Jade Island?
It's not like she can afford it anymore. At least not now. However, she will make sure to get the work done that she was planning before going back home.
She can't spend her whole life waiting for opportunities. That's her motto after all, ' Opportunities don't come to you, you need to work hard to make opportunities for you.'
Zhu Ai huffed in frustration. She took a deep breath and said, " Brother Han, I came to meet you, but you're taking her to take lunch. What about me?" She said while pointing at Xu Nuan angrily.
She thought that he would at least treat her a meal, after all, it's his mother who introduced her to him.
He glanced at her indifferently and said, " You? You can go home. I am busy."
"Pfft" Xu Nuan is trying hard to not laugh but Zhu Ai is so hilarious. He was not interested in her and was doing his best to ignore her, yet she was trying to stick herself with him.
"-_-"
However, she stopped when she felt Zhu Ai's deadly glare at her. She cleared her throat awkwardly and said, " SOoRry." she said exaggeratingly.
Her dramatic yet sarcastic apology made Zhu Ai flare-up.
However, before she could say anything, Han Zihao looked at Xu Nuan and said, " Let's go." As said, he walked forward, and Xu Nuan also followed him out.
Zhu Ai frowned seeing both of them, scurrying out of the office without even glancing at her.
" Argh," she groaned and threw her hands in the air in frustration.
" Han Zihao, You.."
"Ms. Zhu, do you want to wait in the rest lounge?" The receptionist asked politely.
She gritted her teeth and shouted, " You rest there." She stomped out of the office, after lashing out at the receptionist.
Receptionist: "-_-"
….
Inside the car, Xu Nuan glanced at Han Zihao who was resting, with his head tilted backward.
" Ermm…why didn't you come back last month?" She asked while hesitating a bit.
Han Zihao who was resting opened his eyes and glanced at her lazily.
She held her breath when she saw his side and a little messy hair made him look extremely sexy.
' Holy Crap! How can he look so damn hot? Ah, Jiang Yue, you can't be swayed away by handsome guys. No…. remember your goals.'
He raised his brows seeing her quite and was deep in thought.
" I went on a business trip. Just came two days ago." He said monotonously while noticing her interesting expressions.
Now he noticed this pastel blue color suits her a lot. Till now he had seen her in casual clothes with no makeup, however, the way she dressed up today, made her more noticeable and attractive.
Feng Sheng saw Han Zihao's expressions from the rear mirror while driving. He couldn't help but giggle.
' Seems like Mr. Han likes feisty girls. Good good.' he nodded and noted that he needs to maintain a good relationship with Ms. Gu.
