Chapter 140 - Go on a date with me!

Han Zihao thought about his father's words and was not sure how to respond to him. 

Han Jianghong sighed, getting silence in response from Han Zihao's side. His son does not follow him when it comes to relationsh.i.p.s. When he was young, he was popular among his peers due to his looks, intelligence, and his quick-wittedness, he could make any girl fall for him. 

However, his son is handsome and good looking, but he lacks quick-wittedness. He is slow and sometimes it can be ridiculously frustrating. It's not good to be a too good boy. 

" Seems like your Grandma was right. It was you right? You're pushing that girl away from you, right?" He asked, at which Han Zihao couldn't help but bite his lower lip. 

' Why does his grandma have such a big mouth?'

" Han Zihao, being considerate is good but that's not how things work in relationsh.i.p.s. There is a thing called the right timing. Just how it is important to be careful and timely while investing, it's the same for dating as well. If you miss the right timing, the good deal can go to someone else, leaving you with regret only."

" Don't ever take anyone's feelings for granted. People's feelings are like a wind, it can change in an instant. So don't push the other person to the point of heart change. Be a man and accept your feelings. Moreover, that girl seems quite interesting."

" I can't believe she made Su Xinyue angry to the point where she came to me to complain about her." he laughed thinking about how frustrated she looked whole looking about her. 

Han Zihao was quite surprised by hearing such words from his father. He pursed his lips as he remembered how his relationship fell apart with his mother (Su Xinyue). But he knows that his father gave his best to that relationship. 

He never regretted that his parents got divorced because that was the best for them. Moreover, he was glad that his father managed to recover from that situation and was now living happily with his family. 

If they had stayed together, they would have kept hurting each other's feelings, making the other person cry for no reason. Sometimes separation is better for everyone's mental peace. 

-

Han Zihao stared at Xu Nuan who was looking at the stars above them and smiled seeing her smiling happily. He couldn't help but remember his father's words and the right timing. 

'Is he really that slow?' He wondered. He was trying his best to express his feelings to her but seeing her crying today, he felt something bothering him. 

He didn't know that his actions were so confusing and were bothering her. Since he isn't a type to express himself openly, it was hard for him to open his heart to her, and was also feeling guilty to some extent to Jiang Yue as well. 

He has never been in a relationship with her, but after being in a one-sided relationship with her for so long, it was difficult for him to imagine his heart moving towards this girl. 

" Mr. Han, you know what, Christmas is in two weeks, the day after the girl's debut. However, I feel that today is my Christmas. There are lights, moonlight, stars...and you." she turned to him and smiled while looking at his handsome face which was shining under the lightning. 

" I can't believe that I am alive to witness this Christmas," she said in a low voice while turning to look at the front again, trying to hold back her tears which were forced to make their way to her cheeks. 

This year was quite eventful for her. She not only died but got a chance to live again, in the same world and time, and got to meet Han Zihao as well which has changed her life completely. If she had been alive and was living as Jiang Yue, there was a chance that she would have never found out about Han Zihao and they have stayed as childhood friends in their memories only. 

However, he made her realize how crazy she can be when it comes to loving someone. It was her first time, leaving her self respect behind and shamelessly, boldly chasing someone.

Han Zihao who was looking at her was surprised upon hearing her comment that warmed his heart. He stared at her side profile intently while she was watching the cars moving on the bridge far away, with their lights brightening the night. 

" Xu Nuan."

" Hmm?" she hummed while rubbing her arms gently, feeling the cold breeze. 

" Do you- he was interrupted when her phone started ringing. 

She looked at her phone and mumbled, " Oh, it's Lin Hui." This made Han Zihao's expressions harden. 

" But why is he calling me at this hour?" she wondered and was about to pick up the call when Han Zihao held her wrist, stopping her from calling him. 

She looked at him in confusion when he said, " Don't pick up."

"Hmm?"

" Listen to me first," he said, making her even more confused. 

After taking a deep breath and gathering his courage, he finally asked, " On Christmas...do you wanna go on a date with me?" 

Xu Nuan who was looking at him froze on her spot, staring at him in shock, not knowing if this was a camera prank or what. Date? He just asked me for a date? Her insides were jumping in excitement while her mind was wondering if everything was just real or her dream. 

" Wh..what? Date? You're asking me out for a date? For real?" she asked with her eyes widened. 

He couldn't help but chuckle seeing her overly excited reaction. He rubbed his nape awkwardly and asked, " Why? You don't wanna go?" he asked nervously.

" Are you crazy? Don't you dare take it back. I will kill you alive if you said you were pranking me." she hit his arm while laughing and jumping on the place. 

He couldn't help but look at her in amus.e.m.e.nt. This was not the reaction he was expecting from her. Was he that dense and slow in asking her out for a date? He wondered. 

He sighed in relief that he took his father's advice and asked her out. 

-

In the morning, Han Zihao who was sleeping got his sleep disturbed when his phone buzzed. He frowned and opened his eyes slowly. He was about to turn around to pick up his phone from the side table when he felt his movements restricted. 

He opened his eyes wide to see clearly, looking around at his surroundings he realized that he was not at his house but the lounge c.u.m bedroom inside his office. He looked at the petite figure sleeping peacefully while curled up in his embrace like a spoiled cat. 

He was surprised for a moment when he saw Xu Nuan sleeping beside him. How come they're sleeping together on a bed? 

" Ah," he groaned when he remembered what happened last night. 

-

After hanging out on the terrace for a while, they came to his office to rest since it was too late to go back. He suggested for her to sleep on the bed in his lounge room while he slept on the couch in his office. 

However, it seems like he mistakenly came to the bed when he woke up to use the restroom in the middle of the night. 

He chuckled seeing her sleeping like a log, not knowing that they slept together last night. 

" She won't even remember that we were sleeping together last night." he chuckled and carefully got off the bed, placing her head on the pillow. 

He covered her with a blanket and went to his office after tucking her hair strands behind her ear. 

-

In his office, which was attached to his lounge-bedroom, he walked tiredly wearing the same outfit as last night, he walked to the large window and looked down. The people had started coming to the office and the roads were now bustling with car honks and noises. 

He smiled remembering the events of last night. They didn't do much, they just talked and drank the coffee that he prepared in a tumbler and brought with him in that wooden basket while looking at the stars on the terrace. 

The burning furnace warmed their hands and their hearts with their heavy talks. While talking he realized that Xu Nuan looks overly excited and silly but she has a mature side too which she usually doesn't show to him. 

She looks like she wasn't thinking about anything while talking, but her small talk made him realize that she acts casually all the time because she doesn't want to make the other person uncomfortable with her seriousness. 

It was the side of her that he has never seen before which surprised him even more. He was glad that he made the right choice to give a chance to their relationship. 

" What is the time now?" he pulled out his phone from his trouser pocket to check the time and realized it's already 9:30 am.

" What? We're already so late." he was shocked to see the time and was about to go in when he heard some noises coming from the door of the office. His expressions turned pale, causing his pupils to widen in shock.

' Why is he here now?'

"...."

-

" It's already past 9 and sir hasn't come to work yet. What happened to him? He has never been late to work without any notice." Feng Sheng mumbled while opening the door with a key.
