Chapter 287 - Poker Face Queen!!

In the morning, the room was brightly lit because of the dazzling sunlight coming from the window. 

The sun was already up, high and hot in the sky, meanwhile, Han Zihao and Xu Nuan were still in deep slumber, in each other's arms.  ​​

Xu Nuan g.r.o.a.n.e.d in her sleep because of the sunlight hitting her face, irritating her eyes. 

She yawned and tried to stretch her hands but found herself restricted by the man sleeping next to her. 

She was sleeping on her side, meanwhile, Han Zihao was hugging and cuddling her from behind, trapping her in his embrace. 

She looked at his hand, wrapped around her waist, and tried to carefully remove it from her. 

Although she woke up because of the sunlight that was bothering her, she also wants to use the bathroom. 

However, her attempts failed when he hugged her tighter and snuggled his face in her nape. 

She looked down at her and realized that she was wearing one of his white shirts. 

The last night was quite a wild and adventurous night for them. It was the first official night that they spent together and finally became one. She never thought that the c.o.n.d.o.m that she carried with her for backup would come into use. 

She was excited about the trip and was nervous since it was the first time that they would be going somewhere, all alone. After spending the night at Han Mansion, she realized that it's better to be prepared than be sorry later. 

However, she never thought that she would tell him about the c.o.n.d.o.ms in such an awkward way. 

-

When she was reminded of the memories of last night, she couldn't help but chuckle embarrassedly. 

It was her first time seeing the wildest and flirtatious side of him. She never thought that he could be this vigorous. He didn't allow her to sleep last night and they only went to bed around dawn. 

She doesn't even remember how she is wearing his shirt and when he changed the bedsheets. Because as long as she remembers, she was in the bathtub for a warm water soak since she wanted to clean up before sleeping. 

But seeing how she doesn't remember anything afterward, she must have fallen asleep in the bathtub. 

She glanced back at him and wondered, 'Did he dress me up in his shirt?' She giggled thinking about the way he made her wear his shirt, rather than making her wear her pajamas. 

-

She tried to get out of his tight embrace again, but he g.r.o.a.n.e.d and nuzzled against her nape, " Don't move. Sleep more!" He said and hugged her tightly, again. 

She let out an exasperated sigh seeing his clingy behavior and patted his hand, " Mr. Han, let me go. I want to use the bathroom." 

He g.r.o.a.n.e.d and looked at her with his sleepy eyes and said, " Is that so? Then you can go." 

However, even after allowing her to go, he didn't remove his hand from her and kept her captivated. 

She frowned. " What are you doing? Remove your hands off me."

" Pay the charges first." He said. 

" Charges?" 

" Kiss me." He pouted at her with closed eyes and waited for her to kiss him. 

"....."

She was speechless to see him acting cute first thing in the morning. He looked exactly the opposite of what he looked the last night. 

She giggled and kissed him on the nose, " Here. Now let me go," she pleaded. 

He frowned at her, " I asked for a kiss on the lips, not nose." 

" But you didn't say this earlier. So it counts, now let me...go." She took advantage of him frowning and pinched his hand before removing it off her. 

"AH, Now that's cheating." he frowned at her but she giggled and showed him her tongue before running to the bathroom. 

Han Zihao chuckled seeing her running away like this and sighed before hugging the pillow tightly. " I should have asked for something else." 

***

" Jia Fei, don't you dare stand at the counter. Do you know how many customers get scared of your poker face? At least smile a bit if you're standing at the counter." Luo Dan said while holding the phone against her ear with one hand and was carrying the shopping bags in the other. 

Today, she came out to buy some tableware and decorative items for the cafe, meanwhile, Jia Fei decided to stay at the cafe to look after it. However, she is afraid that she will again go and stand behind the counter and will scare away the customers with her straight face. 

She doesn't smile at the customers and stares at them coldly as if she is angry. Because of this, many customers stay on their toes while placing their orders and sometimes place the wrong orders in nervousness. 

Jia Fei, on the other hand, was standing behind the counter and raised her brows upon hearing Luo Dan's words. 

She cleared her throat and tried to smoothen the creases on her forehead, " Don't lie. I am not that scary. Also, is it my fault that they get scared just by looking at me?"

" Why do I even smile at strangers? It's so perverted." She reasoned. 

Luo Dan sighed exasperatedly, " Then don't stand behind the counter. And if you're standing, then learn to smile. They're not your fans who will swoon over your girl crush poker face." She hung up after saying her words.

" What? She is so annoying." Jia Fei murmured and shook her head before pulling a chair to sit behind the counter. " Why would I smile just because I was told to do so? I won't." She sat there stubbornly and decided to not smile at anyone at all. 

-

Luo Dan looked at the time and realized that it's already lunchtime. She adjusted her mask and walked out of the mall while carrying the heavy bags. 

She stood in front of the mall and looked for a cab on the app. " Why is there no cab nearby?" She frowned. 

She didn't bring a car with her because she doesn't have a license. Jia Fei always insisted that she should learn how to drive and get a license but she is too afraid to drive. 

She tried a few times to learn driving but it never went right. She almost hit the wall once while learning to drive. 

"But why isn't any cab available today? It's not even nighttime." She groans. 

She adjusted her mask again when a few people stood next to her. She continued refreshing the app in hope that no one would recognize her. Otherwise, it will be a bother to get out of here easily. 

Also, She doesn't want to take any taxi and bring trouble upon herself. 

While she was waiting, a luxurious black car stopped in front of her. 

She frowned and stepped back in wary. The corners of her lips fell when the window of the backseat lowered and the face of the person sitting on the back seat came into her sight. 

"Ms. Luo, what a coincidence. For a moment, I thought that I was seeing things." The man said with an annoying smirk on his lips. 

Luo Dan frowned and sighed when the people standing near her, walked away to the parking area. She forced a smile and greeted the man, " Mr. Zhu, Nice to meet you too. I am glad that your eyes are working just fine." 

The man pursed his lips upon hearing her meaningful comment. 

-

Luo Dan wanted to get away from this situation as she doesn't want to stand here and talk to this disgusting man. 

When she was still in the group, she met him a few times at the award ceremonies and other events. 

Although he is not a part of the entertainment industry directly, he is quite popular as the CEO of an entertainment company. 

His company is not one of the main ones, but he is quite popular in the industry. Not because of his artists and their performances but because of his looks. 

He is not only young, rich but also handsome for a businessman. On top of that, his social connections in the entertainment industry are what make him stronger than others. 

He always had his eyes on her but she never gave him a glance. He even tried to hit on her a few times and also suggested going to a club with him. 

And once, when she went to a private party with her members and left for the washroom, he came out of nowhere and blocked her way. He even tried to push her in the corner, seeing her alone.

However, to his bad luck, Jiang Yue appeared at the right time and almost stabbed a pointed pen in his eyes saying that she lost her balance. 

Luo Dan was worrying over how to deal with him since he is not anyone but a CEO of a company and if she did anything, the media will only ruin her name. 

But Jiang Yue was one step ahead of her. She didn't bother about his status and taught him a good lesson, indirectly. 

But he understood that it's not easy to deal with her, especially when Jiang Yue is around her.
