Chapter 19
Do what you want. 𝗳𝙧𝐞𝚎w𝗲𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝑒𝘭.𝑐om
Xu Nuan was standing outside the QY Entertainment in a daze and her mind was blank. She couldn’t understand what just happened.
She came to give him a surprise but instead, she received a huge blow. The people she had trusted the most, backstabbed her like this.
She found a bench near the company which was in front of the Chinese restaurant and sat on it. The employees who were coming back after the lunch break were surprised to see a girl sitting on the bench under the scorching sun.
She couldn’t even bother the strange, pitiful gazes which they were giving her as she was trying to sort her thoughts.
She closed her eyes and tilted her head back to rest. The sunlight was directly hitting her face, it was burning hot but she couldn’t be bothered by it. Her face turned red and was soaked in sweat.
….
Han Zihao who had the lunch meeting with the client at the restaurant just came out of the restaurant.
Feng Sheng who had the car parked outside the restaurant opened the car door for him.
.....
However, Han Zihao suddenly paused in the action while staring in a certain direction.
Feng Sheng also turned around to see what caught his attention. He was surprised to see a petite figure sitting on the bench with her head tilting back.
He frowned as the face looked familiar to him.
” Isn’t she Ms. Gu? What is she doing here and that too, like this?” He was surprised because Xu Nuan did not look like a girl to sit on the roadside bench under this scorching heat.
Han Zihao didn’t reply and just stared at the fragile figure whose face has turned pale.
” Mr. Han, should we give her a ride to her house? Or should we take her to the hospital?” Seeing her condition, the hospital would be the better place.
Her parents have already denied to acknowledge her. He couldn’t help but feel bad for her. She looked even more pitier sitting on the roadside bench like this.
Han Zihao shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, ” Do what you want.” As he said this, he got inside the car.
“-_-”
Feng Sheng was confused hearing his ambitious response.
‘ What should I do? Should I bring her not?’
….
” Ms. Gu”.
Xu Nuan furrowed her brows hearing her name. She slowly opened her eyes upon hearing the familiar voice.
” Mr. Secretary?” she was surprised to see him in front of her. It’s been a month since she was discharged from the hospital, the last time she met him was the day of her discharge.
” Ms. Gu, why are you sitting here like this? Are you unwell?” he asked while looking at her worriedly. How can he not be worried? Her face has turned red and she looked like she would faint any time.
Xu Nuan wiped her forehead with her hand which was covered in sweat and said in a low voice, ” I am fine. I am just...a little tired.”
‘ Is she fine? No..of course not. Who would be fine after being cheated by her boyfriend that too with her sister-like friend?’
But she can’t tell him her honest thoughts. So she has no other choice than to say that she is fine.
Feng Sheng pursed his lips seeing her condition and said, ” Ms. Gu, please come with me. Let me take you to the hospital.”
Xu Nuan shook her head and said, ” Mr. Secretary, I am fine. I don’t need to go to the hospital. I just need to rest.”
” Then let me drop you to your place at least.”
Xu Nuan sighed and in the end, she accepted his offer and stood up from the bench.
” Ah”, she felt dizzy the moment she stood up. She has been under the sun for almost an hour.
” Mr. Gu, are you okay? Do you really not need to go to the hospital?” Feng Sheng asked as he helped her by the shoulder.
She waved her hand and said, ” I am fine.”
Inside the car, Han Zihao’s jaw tightened seeing her condition and the way Feng Sheng was supporting her. During the last month, he couldn’t stop thinking about her whenever he went to the Jade Island Hotel for a meeting or was in his car in which they gave her the ride.
He could not help but be remembered about her for some bizarre reason. He has never been interested in anything other than his work. He never had a girlfriend, he has some friends but that’s it.
He doesn’t smoke, he does drink sometimes, but that too sometimes. He doesn’t have a hobby as such.
It’s his first time that he remembered someone’s name without any reason even after a month.
He averted his gaze from her when Feng Sheng opened the door for the backside and helped her sit comfortably in the car and after that, he went to the driver’s seat. Today they didn’t bring a driver, so he was driving the car.
Han Ziaho frowned seeing her pale complexion. Her face has turned tomato red.
” Ms. Gu, I have turned the air conditioner on, so you…”
” Turn it off”
Feng Sheng was surprised by Han Zihao’s cold voice. He was perplexed and hurriedly turned the air conditioner off. He was confused about why he asked him to turn off the a/c. She was drenched in sweat and she would have fainted due to heatstroke if she had stayed any longer.
Xu Nuan whose eyes were heavy-lidded opened her eyes lazily and glanced at him in confusion.
” Pass me the towel and a water bottle.” Han Zihao ordered as he looked at him.
Feng Sheng hurriedly passed him a water bottle and a hand towel which was placed in the lower compartment.
” Here, wipe your sweat and drink some water. This will calm you down.”
Xu Nuan was surprised to see his action.
‘ How can he be so observant? Now she understood why he asked Feng Sheng to turn off the air conditioner first. Since she has been exposed to the sun for long, it would not be good if the temperature has changed all of a sudden.’
” Thank you.” She took the water bottle from him with a mild smile.
