Xu Nuan glanced at Ye Yijun before answering the question, " Well, I don't think it would be appropriate to bring him along at this party. It's kinda awkward, you know."
After what happened at the campus the other day, she still can't forget everyone's reaction. His whole existence is enough to cause a commotion.
Tan Hai chuckled upon hearing her words. Everyone glanced at him, including Xu Nuan, but he didn't care.
She must not have the confidence to bring along her boyfriend. Otherwise, why wouldn't she bring him and show him off to everyone?
After all, this party is not something where anyone can join. All the students are from reputed families, his father is the Mayor of the district, meanwhile, Aurora's family has a huge business and his mother is also into artistic work.
All the girls present at the party also have powerful backgrounds. It's only Xu Nuan, who is the adopted daughter of the Gu family yet she acts as if she is the heir of Gu Corporations. Even Xingrne never treated him this way before, the way she did earlier.
***
While Xu Nuan was trying to get along with everyone, in one of the private rooms of the club, four men were gathered together and were questioning their existence.
In a dimly lit room, three couches were arranged for sitting. One large couch was in the middle while two single couches were on each of the sides. There was a glass table in the middle that was filled with appetizers, glasses of wine, and whisky as everyone ordered drinks according to their preference.
Han Liang, who was sitting on the single couch glanced at Han Zihao, who was sitting on the couch in the middle and asked, " Brother, will you tell us now why did you call us here? It's getting creepy now."
He was resting at home some time ago when he received Han Zihao's call. It was a surprise itself that Han Zihao called him, but what was more surprising was that he asked him to meet and have some drinks.
With him? Even though they're brothers, their relationship has never been close enough to sit together and drink.
But today he did. Why?
On top of that, the place he called him to meet was a club? Han Zihao has never been the type to go to clubs and parties.
-
Han Zihao didn't say anything and simply picked up his glass and took a sip of his soft drink.
" Why are you drinking cold drinks when you called me out for drinks?" Han Liang frowned. " Have some beer at least."
" I can't. I need to drive Xu Nuan back home later." He replied nonchalantly.
"..."
Han Liang was speechless to hear his brother's lovelorn words. Is this the same Han Zihao he used to know? The one who has never been seen with a girl and was believed to be 'gay' by many of the employees in the office is finally in a relationship.
" So….you called us here because of your girlfriend? Is she also here? Why don't you tell her to join us? At least she can be a better company than you." He said. He might hate Xu Nuan but it's still more fun with her than being with Han Zihao.
Han Zihao glared at him. If he can, then he would have done that.
His plan was to accompany her to the party. That's why he put the condition that he will accompany her to the party, to which she agreed.
However, upon reaching here, she stared at him in confusion and asked, " Why are you parking your car?"
He even parked the car. Why isn't he leaving?
He stared at her in confusion, " Didn't I say that I will accompany you to the party? Are you forgetting my condition?"
" Yes, that's why we're here together. Now if you have dropped me, then leave. What are you waiting for?" She thought that he was talking about dropping her at the party venue, not going to the party with her.
It's a college party after all.
" I am your boyfriend. I should attend the party with you." He said righteously.
" Being in a relationship doesn't mean I have to accompany you everywhere. How would you feel If I tag along with you at every business party where I am not even invited?" she asked seriously.
" I would love it," he said with a straight face, leaving her speechless.
"....."
-
In the end, he has to agree to his Queen's orders. How can he go beyond her words?
However, he is not the type to back out either. If she doesn't let him accompany her to the party, he will make his space for himself.
-
Feng Sheng, who was sitting meekly on the corner leaned forward and asked, " Sir, but….why did you call us?" he asked hesitantly.
However, his plans were ruined by his unexpected call.
Cai Kun nodded as he was curious too. He is just a lawyer, was it the need to tag him along in this boring men's party?
He should have been downstairs to dance with s.e.xy girls. He belongs there, not here.
Han Zihao, who was calmly drinking his cold drink glanced at Feng Sheng, " Why? You don't like it? Do you hate it that I called you here?" He asked indifferently.
At that moment, Feng sheng could see his death in his eyes. To save himself from his wrath, he shook his head firmly and took his drink from the table, " No! It's my honor to accompany you for a drink. I like you more than my girlfriend."
Han Liang turned to him in surprise, " You have a girlfriend? What a shock!!"
" I think you worded it wrong. It should be a 'surprise', not a 'shock'." Feng Sheng corrected him.
" No. I said it right. It's a shock indeed."
Feng sheng pursed his lips and said with a hmph, " Do you think I have time to meet girls? Being a secretary is a 24/7 hours job. I don't have time for myself, having a girlfriend is a non-achievable dream." he said while trying to control his emotions.
" You get a salary for the same. If you hate to work under me then submit your resignation tomorrow. I will personally approve it. " Han Zihao said unconcernedly.
Feng sheng was on the verge of crying seeing Han Zihao's cold demeanor. Why is he being this way to him? Who made this demon angry?
" That's what I was going to say. The work might be a little hard, but I am managing under your supervision." He said while making a heart for him using his hands.
Cai Kun frowned at his extreme flattering. " But I hate it. It's annoying here with all the men." He w.h.i.n.ed.
Han Zihao scoffed and said, " You're saying as if you have a girlfriend."
Cai Kun pursed his lips upon hearing his hurtful comment. Because of his genius intelligence, he graduated from college earlier and started working at a young age. Unlike other people, he gained popularity and acknowledgment earlier than others.
However, because of this reason, he never got the time to meet girls and date. He met Han Zihao when they were abroad and got to know each other since they were roommates.
When he came back to the country two years back, Han Zihao helped him to establish his law firm here and since then he started to handle the legal stuff for Han Corporations.
In short, he is not a lawyer who handles the legal stuff for Han Corporations but Han Zihao's one and only friend too. Who will be a friend of this rude and arrogant brat?
But unlike Han Zihao, he tends to find some time to meet girls but because of his hasty personality and busy-working style, he never got to experience a stable relationship.
[ YOU BITCH!! WHAT DID YOU SAY?]
[ DO YOU WANT ME TO SHOW YOU WHO IS A LOSER HERE?]
" Ah, it scared me. Who is shouting like a dog?"Han Liang was startled when suddenly someone started to shout in the room next to them.
Although the rooms are meant to be private and soundproof, since they were not playing any music, it was easier to hear the loud noises from the room next to them.
" Seems like they're fighting. Sir, I think we should hurry and leave. It's not good to stay at this place and drag ourselves into an uninvited controversy." Feng Sheng said worriedly.
Cai Kun nodded in agreement. It's better to avoid situations like these.
Han Zihao is a well-known figure in the business world, meanwhile, Han Liang is in showbiz. It's gonna affect him the most if this drama escalates.
As they were discussing how to get out of this complicated situation, Han Zihao's expressions were turning grim. His grip on the glass tightened upon hearing the crude loud sounds of someone shouting.
The degrading words that were being used for a woman, it better be not for her.
Because the person in the next room was none other than 'Xu Nuan'.
