Chapter 15 - Bittersweet feeling

Xu Nuan's grip tightened on the phone as she read the headings of the articles on the fandom page.

[ Shocking News; Ming Yue, the member of the girl group, 'The Queens' has passed away.]

[ The member of the most popular girl group got into an accident while shooting for the new album, has passed away.]

There were links to articles from various media outlets. She was expecting this but her hands couldn't help but tremble reading about her death.

She was alive but no one knows. For everyone she has already died.

She read an article which was explaining about her death. It said that she got into the accident while shooting for her new album, the harness broke and she fell from quite a height. She was moved to the hospital right away but was announced dead after a few hours.

Her eyes glistened with tears as she felt surreal reading this. Everything is over, she is dead for real now, at least in others eyes.

She browsed other articles with a heavy heart. Her eyes widened seeing the other article.

" Is this for real?" She murmured in shock.

[ After the demise of Ming Yue, The Queens have disbanded.]

[ After Ming Yue's passing away, the members of The Queens decided to disband the group.]

Her lips quivered as she felt a heartache reading articles about the disbanding of her group. Even if she died, they can continue without her.

However, since she is not there anymore, they decided to end their booming career? She scrolled down and saw her members photos and their upset expressions and the pain was clearly written on their faces.

There was a video where everyone was clad in black dresses, it's probably the video of her funeral.

She could see their swollen eyes. Her members were crying their hearts out, especially Hao Mei. Though it was probably taken from outside the funeral hall, Hao Mei looked the most affected and couldn't stop crying.

Hao Mei was the youngest in the group, she is 21 years old, same as Xu Nuan's age. Jiang Yue has always adored her since she was the youngest and she always felt that it's her responsibility to take care of them since she is the leader and the eldest among them.

They have been together for 7 years now. She became a trainee at the age of 18, and others were already the trainees at QY Entertainment.

Seven years is no less. They have travelled the whole world for their world tours and their bonding grew stronger with every stage performance.

" Why are they doing this?" She said in a choked voice. She doesn't like the fact that they are disbanding the group like this.

...

In the spacious Presidential office of Han Corporation, Han Zihao was going through the doc.u.ments, when someone knocked on the door.

After a few moments, Feng Sheng entered the room and said, " Sir, in a hour you have a meeting with the…" he explained his schedule one by one without missing out on anything.

Han Zihao didn't respond to his words and just listened to them quietly. After Feng Sheng was done, he pursed his lips and looked at Han Zihao with a hesitant gaze.

Han Zihao noticed that he had stopped talking and was staring at him.

He frowned and raised his head, " What?"

" Ahem, Sir, today is the day when Ms. Gu is going to be discharged. Should I send a driver to send her…"

" Go. " He interrupted Feng Sheng's words with his single word.

Feng Sheng understood his meaning and left the office without waiting anymore.

He sighed after leaving the office, ' Why is it so hard to work as a secretary?'

…..

After the completion of two weeks, the doctor did her thorough check up and discharged Xu Nuan from the hospital.

Though she was still weak and suffered severe headaches sometimes, this was something she had to bear with.

The nurse helped in packing her stuff, which she didn't have much. Xu Nuan's parents didn't visit her again and Gu Zhang sent his secretary with the settlement papers.

Xu Nuan signed them without any issue since all her demands have been accepted. Just as she had demanded, Gu Zhang gave her a unit in the Glory Condominium Building.

She can feel from his cold tone when they spoke on the phone that this unit is the same unit which he has booked for Xingren.

She felt delighted after getting the condo, and today is the day when she is finally going to move to that house.

She was standing outside of the hospital while carrying her bag in one hand. She took a deep breath as she looked around.

It's been days since she has taken in fresh air. That suffocating hospital room and the disinfectant smell was killing her.

Just as she was thinking of booking a cab, a black Mercedes stopped in front of her. At first she stepped back, thinking it's for someone else.

But she was surprised when the window of the driver seat rolled down and she heard a familiar voice.

" Ms. Gu, you finally got discharged."

" Oh? Mr. Secretary?" She was surprised to see Feng Sheng driving the car and what was more surprising was, he came to see her even after her discharge?

Their deal was valid until she stayed in the hospital, and now there is no need to come to look for her.

" Ms. Gu, please get in. We will give you a ride to your place." He said with a polite smile.

Xu Nuan was surprised but didn't reject his offer. Who would reject an offer of a ride in a luxurious Mercedes? Even though it was not new for her and she had dozens of luxurious cars in her past life, in this world, she has nothing.

Just as she opened the door for the back seat, she was surprised to see a suave figure which was already sitting inside the car.

"Mr. Han?" She was startled to see him because she was not expecting to be there.

" Ms. Gu " he said formally and shifted his gaze to his tablet.

She pursed her lips and sat inside the car without any delay.

Feng Sheng pursed his lips seeing Han Zihao's indifferent attitude. He thought that Han Zihao wanted him to personally escort Xu Nuan from the hospital.

Since she got into an accident because of their car, this was the basic respect they can show her.

But just as he was leaving the office to pick her up, he was surprised when Han Zihao got up from his seat and said that he needed to go out and in the end, they ended up here.

Why is it so hard to understand Mr. Han?

…

When Xu Nuan asked Feng Sheng to take her to the Glory Building, he was surprised knowing that she really managed to get a unit from Gu Zhang.

Today is the day she is moving to her place. She was having a bittersweet feeling. She is going to start anew by moving to a new place but at the same time, she still cannot go over the loss of her last life.
