BXBX NOVEL Chapter 191 - She Returned!!
Han Zihao pursed his lips as he stared at the man sitting opposite him while trying to avoid his gaze. Now only Feng Sheng and he were left in the house as Xu Nuan went to her place to change into comfortable clothes and sleep after eating the food ordered by Feng Sheng.
" You...why did you order food when I told you to buy ingredients only?" Han Zihao asked coldly while trying to be as calm as possible. The plan of having a hearty-cozy dinner under the dim light was ruined with his extravagant decorations. On top of that, he ordered her favorite dishes from Jade Hotel which made her squeal in excitement.
Without any thought she took the food delivery and went to her place to eat and rest comfortably in her bed, leaving him alone with Feng Sheng.
Feng Sheng scratched his scalp nervously and said meekly, " I..wasn\'t expecting things to turn out this way. Who would have thought that Ms. Gu would be stiffer when it comes to romance than you…" He laughed awkwardly.
He had thought that Xu Nuan is an expert when it comes to such things but seeing the way she took the delivery with her, rather than eating here with him, it tells her personality very much. She prefers comfort over thrill, she looks experienced but she is slow when it comes to romantic things.
Han Zihao glared at him upon hearing his words at which Feng Sheng hurriedly stood up and bowed politely, " Have a good night sir. Ah, Other than the living room, there are some decorations in your bedroom as well. Hope you enjoy your night...alone." he smirked teasingly and seeing Han Zihao\'s expression darkening, he ran out of the house before the pillow targeted at him could touch his body.
The topmost requirement for being a secretary: One should know when to escape the situation and know how to run faster. The faster you run, the chances of getting hit decreases.

Han Zihao sighed after he was left alone in the house that was decorated with flowers and balloons. Only if Feng Sheng had not popped that balloon, or even better if he had left the house before they arrived, everything would have been perfect.
However, upon remembering the kiss earlier, his earlobes turned red. She didn\'t respond to his confession with words but showed him how she feels through her actions.
He pulled out a small jewelry box from his coat pocket and pulled out the diamonds embedded half-moon pendant that he had bought for her as a gift from his trip. He would have given her tonight but before that could happen, Feng Sheng blasted that ballon.
\'Seems like this moon has to stay with me a little while more to meet its real owner, Yue." A longing smile appeared on his lips as he caressed the pendant tenderly. Life has played the biggest game with him when he has expected the least.
Who would have thought that she would return and that too, she will be so close to him? That\'s insane!!
After staring at the pendant for long, when he raised his head, he saw the decorations around the room, " Who is gonna clean this mess now?" he sighed seeing the flower petals spread all over his house and the balloons on the floor. Rather than making the night special, Feng Sheng has increased the work-load for him.
" I should cut all these expenses from his next salary." he gritted his teeth as he thinks of a way to torture Feng Sheng.

Gu Mansion.
The next day of the banquet, when everyone gathered in the dining room for breakfast, there was a heavy atmosphere and awkwardness among them that was making everyone hesitant to speak anything.
After Xu Nuan left with Han Zihao, the party resumed but it had lost its charm already. People were busy gossiping about the drama that just happened and no one was interested in the speeches and achievements of Gu Corporations anymore.
Lin Ran glanced at Xingren who was wearing a plain-simple dress, looking tired and haggard. Her eyes were swollen and were making it obvious that she had cried all night, which ached her heart. The banquet which was supposed to be a happy occasion for their family turned into a humiliating one, all because of Xu Nuan.
Just like Lin Ran, everyone can see Xingren\'s condition and they all felt the same way as she did, except Grandfather Gu. He was eating his breakfast slowly and was indifferent to everyone\'s expressions and gazes.
He was eating rice and vegetable and meat soup while others were having toast and cereal with milk. Gu Zhang pursed his lips and said to Xingren who was picking on cereal in a daze rather than eating it, " Xin Xin, did you talk to Yang Jian? Did he say anything about the investment? Do you want me to do something?" he asked worriedly.
Xingren stopped in her actions and looked up at him. She pursed her lips and tapped her lips with a tissue gently. Without looking at Grandfather Gu, she responded, " Dad, do you think he will still go with the investment after what happened yesterday? Not only his reputation but my reputation has been ruined as well."
She glanced at Grandfather Gu who was indifferently eating his food and said, " If the sister had told us that she has a boyfriend, then all of this wouldn\'t have happened." she complained. She did say that she has a boyfriend, but they thought that she was joking.
Also, if she has one, what would have happened if she had pretended to be with Yang Jian for a while, everything would have been solved then.
Grandmother Gu pursues her lips and places a hand over Xingren\'s, " Xin Xin, don\'t worry. Even if you couldn\'t launch your product, you can simply become the Vice-President of the company and handle the work affairs along with your father."
" You\'re a Gu, you\'re the successor of Gu Corporations. Why are you so worried about this mere project? Huh?" Grandmother Gu said while comforting her.
Upon hearing Grandmother Gu\'s words, Xingren sighed in relief. This was her main goal, launching her brand was just a stepping tool to achieve that goal. If she can get this without doing anything, then she would be happier.
" Yes, Xingren. Your Grandmother is right. I was planning to announce you as the Vice-President of Gu Corporations at the banquet but after all that, I couldn\'t do anything." Gu Zhang added, brightening her expressions.
" Really Dad? You want me to become the Vice-President of the Company? But I haven\'t even completed my studies, how can I…?" she said hesitantly but her shining smile was revealing the happiness ripping inside her heart.
" Of Course, you can. You\'re my daughter, you\'re a Gu. It\'s your rig…" Gu Zhang\'s words were interrupted by a cold-indifferent voice that surprised him.
" Of course, You can\'t." Grandfather Gu who was silent all this while placed his chopsticks on the table and said with solemn expressions on his face.
