Chapter 96 – Why Do You Love Me?
Han Zihao looked at Lin Hao and then at Xu Nuan in shock while imagining all the things that can happen during a sleepover. His eyes widened as he said, " Have you gone nuts? What sleepover? Doesn't he have his own house? Huh? Why does he need to stay here? And you, how can you take an advantage of a young naive girl?" he accused Lin Hao while pointing at him.

Xu Nuan stared at Han Zihao with her lips parted in shock. It was the first time that he had shown this extreme outburst. She was surprised but his words shocked her even more. Naive? She is young, but naive? Is he sure about that?
Lin Hao had the same reaction as her. He glanced at Xu Nuan before turning to Han Zihao, " Who are you to teach me what is right or wrong? You're surely not my father nor older brother. We're not even close that you can lecture me about moral things. Why are you meddling in our affairs?" he asked.
" You're just a neighbour, so stay like one." he said which made Han Zihao speechless.
He scoffed and stared at Lin Hao in wonder. This little thing….
" What? You're saying I don't have a right to say anything?" he asked in disbelief. He turned to Xu Nuan who was sitting there lazily, looking at the drama which was unfolding interestingly.
" You tell him what is the relationship between us. Do I have no right to interfere? Huh?" he asked while looking at Lin Hao proudly. He was sure that this time she would definitely call him, her 'future boyfriend' or at least ask Lin Hao to leave.
Xu Nuan leaned back and rested her head on her hand, which was resting against the couch. She looked at him interestingly as her lips curled in a smirk, " Relationship between us? Yes. We have a very important relationship more than neighbours." she said, making Han Zihao to smirk gleefully.
" The relationship of an employee and employer. Since you gave me a job, we have a relationship more than only neighbours. But Mr. Han, that does not mean that you can interfere in my personal affairs just like you told me to not disturb with yours." she grinned.
In the last few days, despite being busy she sent him messages almost daily which went unnoticed or should say got ignored. Even though he allowed her to have dinner with him, he made her wash dishes every time after that and not only that he always told her to mind her own business and not meddle with any of his affairs.
Now it's her turn to tell him to mind his own business. Equality in relationships is important, and that's what she is doing. Keeping the accounts in check.
"-_-"
Han Zihao was speechless hearing her response. How can she say this? Wasn't she the one who said that she will woo him in only two weeks? It's been only a week and she is already changing her mind?
Xu Nuan didn't look at Han Zihao and said to Lin Hao, " If you're going then you should leave now. I need to take a shower and go to bed."
He nodded and passed by Han Zihao who was standing on the same position and took his luggage which was placed in the corner. He stood at the door and looked at her with a relieved smile, he passed her his card and said, " This is my card. You must have forgotten my number right?"
Xu Nuan looked at the card and bit her lower lip. She only got his number by doing some research in the car. She was in a hurry and didn't remember his number, all thanks to her garbage memory and too much dependence on her phone which made it worse.
She had called him multiple times but he had it switch off so it was difficult for her to track him or get in contact with him.
She took his card and said, " Thanks. I will drop a message so that you can save my new number. I will also send you an address so come to that address tomorrow. I am sure you must be curious about many things." She said.
He nodded and left.

She watched Lin Hao as he got on the elevator and left. She smiled, contended with the result of her hasty decision to come clean to him, she turned around but was bumped into a sulky figure who was standing right behind her.
"Woah!" she exclaimed in shock while holding her chest and patting it to calm herself. She stared at Han Zihao and asked, " Why…do you like to give me a shock every single time? Can't you just stay a few steps away from me and speak before you come or at least make some sound as you walk? Don't act like a zombie. You know frequent shocks can weaken people's hearts and can increase the chances of heart attack at a young age." she said while shaking her head.
His lips twitched hearing her illogical words. "Where have you heard such…knowledgeable facts?" he asked.
" On SNS. Amazing right? I read this information on 12 surprising facts article." she told him proudly.
He chuckled and shook his head. What was he expecting from her?
She looked at him sternly noticing his smirk and mocking expressions. "Do you think I am stupid? Huh? If you're so amazing and intelligent then why can't you simply accept your feelings? Unlike you, I am not a coward and know what I want and have the courage to chase it." She changed the topic which made his smile disappear.
He stared at her and pursed his lips. That's right. He was being a coward. He knew that too, but…he was afraid to follow his happiness because he was afraid of losing them. Whoever he has loved and wished to stay with them forever, has either betrayed him or left him. Just like his mother and Jiang Yue.
Xu Nuan saw his expressions and sighed. She shook her head and decided to keep her lecture short for today, seeing his solemn explanation. 'Let's try again next time Jiang Yue.'
She passed by him and shook her head while saying, " If you have nothing to say then please leave. Also, close the door on your way. I am going to get a shower so…"
" Why do you love me?"
