Chapter 163 - Empress of the Entertainment Empire.

On their way back, Xu Nuan glanced at Han Zihao who was driving the car and was indifferent as if nothing happened between them. However, she can't help but keep thinking about the kiss that they shared on the Ferris Wheel. 

The sensations that she felt during that kiss was something that she never felt before. Before this, they had kissed a few more times but this one was more like consoling and his expressions were serious and sincere. She can't forget his words that he said during their kiss, ' I won't let you die this time again. I am here.' However, she can't help but keep thinking about his words. 

'What did he mean by won't let you die again this time?' 

" Mr. Han, what you said on the Ferris Wheel during the kiss, what did you mean by that?" She asked while staring at him skeptically. 

" Hmm? What do you mean?" Han Zihao glanced at her while driving and asked. 

" Ahem, I mean, didn't you say that you won't let me die this time? About that," she asked straightforwardly and waited for his response. 

However, he didn't respond to her question and smirk. " What do you think it would have meant?" He asked her in return. 

She pursed her lips and didn't say anything after that. However, she kept stealing glances at him and wondered, ' Does he know that I am not Xu Nuan but Jiang Yue? But it's not possible. I never tell him anything. He must be talking about Xu Nuan since she has also experienced a similar near-death experience when she got into the accident with his car. Yeah, that must be it.' she thought and reminded herself that there is no way that he would know her real identity.

Han Zihao raised his brows when he noticed her secretly glancing at him and chuckled, " Why? You can't take your gaze off me? " he asked which caught her off guard. 

She turned her head away and covered her face with a palm in embarrassment, " Since when did he become like this? I want my shy baby Han back." she murmured. 

Han Zihao chuckled upon hearing her words, " Baby Han? Don't you think you're too young to call me baby?" He commented, making her ears turn red in embarrassment. 

Shit! Why did I speak too loud? She cursed under her breath. 

" Yeah. You're too old to be called a baby. I forgot that you're 8 years older than me." she commented sulkily making him frown at her words. 

He glanced at her with a frown and wondered what transpires in her mind. Her personality changes in an instant.

After reaching home, Xu Nuan took a hot bath and changed into her warm teddy pajamas, and plopped on the bed. 

" Ah, what a tiring day it was." she m.o.a.ned as her body was crying in pain and pulled the pillow to place it under her head. 

She picked up her phone and looked at the pictures that they clicked today. She giggled seeing his picture that she took secretly when he was trying the rabbit hairband that she forced him to wear. 

" How can this old man look this handsome?" she smiled foolishly while staring at his pictures and sighed remembering how perfect a day it was. Although she cried at the end because she couldn't handle her emotions, his kiss made that moment even more special. 

"Sometimes being not famous is also a blessing," she commented while looking at their selfies.

If this would have been her past life, she couldn't have imagined going to the amus.e.m.e.nt park on a date because it would have only resulted in chaos and scandals. To enjoy the music and to perform on stage, she sacrificed her privacy. 

She was busy in her thoughts when she got a message notification. She checked the message sent by Song Ai that said, [ Xu Nuan, did you check the ranking list? It's crazy!! What to do? What to do? Is it true? It won't be fake right?]

She raised her brows in surprise upon reading her overhyped message. However, she then realized that she has gotten similar messages full of excitement from other girls and colleagues as well. 

" What's going on?" She murmured in confusion and clicked on the link that Song Ai has sent her. 

" OH, it's the 24 hours ranking list." She murmured when the page opened. It was the first popularity ranking list released after 24 hours of the release of the song. 

She remembered that she had made the bet with Wang Meili about the results of this list. If her group got into the top 50 then Wang Meili has to apologize to her girls in front of everyone while if Wang Meili got into the top 20 and she failed to achieve their goal, then she not only has to apologize but also leave the company as well,

That day, after being provoked by Wang Meili she made a very risky bet. However, no risk can be bigger than her pride, with that thought she took a deep breath and swiped down. 

She started swiping through the list. She had her one eye closed and hesitantly looked at the list. However, her eyes widened in shock when she noticed the group's name. 

However, her heart stopped beating when she saw their rank. Her mouth opened in awe as she looked at their name in a daze. 

" This can't be true." She said in a daze, not believing in her eyes. Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="#._51418158577277892">#._51418158577277892</a> for visiting.

" It's not a dream, right?" She murmured and pinched her arm. 

" Ah, it hurts." she rubbed her hand, feeling the pain. She laughed realizing that it's not a dream but a reality. 

" OH MY GOD!! We're in 18th rank. Haha, it's crazy." She jumped on her bed in excitement. The happiness she was feeling was the same as when they won their first trophy after their debut. 

She had never imagined that they would get in the top 20 in just 24 hours. Despite having no strong background and compared to Wang Meili's group, their music video was made on a low budget and they didn't get any help from the company, despite the bare minimum budget. 

No one was expecting them to be in the top 50, leave alone the top 20. " So it means I won the bed? Arghhh….what a satisfying feeling this is." She laughed crazily while hitting the pillow on the bed excitedly. 

She took a deep breath to calm down and murmured, " Xu Nuan, calm down. Otherwise, people will think that you're crazy. Don't forget that you're an elegant lady. Take a deep breath." She said and took a deep breath to calm down which didn't happen. 

It was not only a happy moment for the girls but her as well. It was her first achievement as the artist manager after all. 

" You're going good Xu Nuan. I am gonna build my Entertainment Empire. Yes. A successful Empire, full of talented and amazing artists." she laid on the bed, with her hands spread upwards and said determinedly while looking at the pale ceiling. 

" And the Empress of that Empire would be me."
