The next morning when Xu Nuan opened her eyes, what greeted her first thing in the morning was not a cup of coffee but a severe hangover and a killing headache.
" Err...this headache. I shouldn't have agreed to go with them for a party." She cried out in pain as she regretted the actions of the last night.
She doesn't remember anything else except that she was taking all the toasts that were given to her and didn't stop drinking.
She massaged her temples gently and observed the familiar surroundings. After staying at this place for a few days, it's no unfamiliar room for her anymore.
"How did I end up here? Did he come to pick me up last night?" She wondered.. As always, she fully blacked out and was having a hard time recalling the events of the last night.
She wanted to ask him these questions but he had already left for work. He has left a note for her on the side table with a glass of lemon water for her to relieve the Hangover.
[ Drink it as soon as you wake up!
Leaving for work. See you at night.]
She pursued her lips seeing his plain note. He should have at least made a heart at the end or something. How boring!
" Why did he bring me here? He could have taken me to my place." She sighed. She has been staying here for more than a week now.
She was supposed to go back to her place yesterday but her colleagues made her drink like there is no tomorrow. Seems like she has to move her stuff back to her place herself.
After getting ready, she went downstairs to eat the breakfast that he had prepared for her. It was in the fridge so she just had to heat it and eat it.
How thoughtful!
While staying with him, there was not a single day when she had to skip her breakfast or have cereal in the morning. He always made sure to prepare a proper breakfast for her and had kept his word to take care of her.
No one has pampered her this much after her parents left her alone in this world, not even her so-called family who was supposed to take care of her.
While having the breakfast he made, she was reminded of the time when her father used to cook for her.
Living together like this is indeed….less lonelier and more fun.
" Is that why people get married? To have fun every day? To eat delicious breakfasts every day?" She wondered.
Dating is fine but...having a certain title to address each other sounds even more fun and...intimate.
"Mrs. Han….Mr. Han!! Hmm- she murmured unconsciously.
Her cheeks blushed when strange thoughts kept popping in her mind. " Woah, what the hell am I thinking? It's too soon to think about getting married."
" Jiang Yue, hold yourself up. Don't go overboard!" She patted her cheeks and hurriedly put away the dishes before leaving the house.

After she left the house, rather than going to college, she took another day off and went to meet Hu Jun. There are things that she needs to arrange to officially start her work.
She called him out and asked him to bring his old bike with him because she wanted to take him somewhere with her.
When they finally reached their destination, Hu Jun was perplexed. He was expecting her to take him with her to see some clients for their cyber security company or something, but instead, she told him to stop in front of an old, worn-out building.
The area was quite isolated, there were not many shops nearby nor there was any commercial building in the area.
The building was quite old too and it's paint was wearing out as well. The white paint has now turned into something dusky and off white color due to the moisture and rain.
" Why are we here? I am sure we aren't here to meet any clients, are we?" He asked in confusion.
" Of course, we aren't. It's the place where the clients will come to meet us." She smiled mysteriously and entered the building, leaving him outside in confusion.
What's... happening?
After she left, he had no choice but to follow her.

He frowned when she took him to the basement. What the hell are they gonna do in the basement?
When they passed by the basement corridor, there was a door that leads to a room in the basement.
She unlocks the door and when he enters the room, he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
The basement room was painted in a dark blue, even though the room looked decent, the shocking element was the items in the room.
There were three tables joined together, making a large one. Four monitor screens were on the wall attached to two computer systems.
He turned to Xu Nuan in puzzlement, " This….is this…"
She understood what she wanted to ask and before he could complete his words, she said, " Yes. It's the place where you're going to work. This system is yours. You can try starting it." She pointed towards the first system on the table.
His eyes widened and couldn't believe that she actually prepared all of this. He was taking her lightly and wasn't expecting that she would prepare the office for real.
Not only that, the system that she has arranged was quite expensive and the latest model, perfect for his work. She indeed has a good eye for this kind of work.
After starting the computer and checking his system, he looked at the other system that was attached to the other two screens, " Are you going to use this system? You're gonna work here too?"
"But…. didn't you say that this is just a side company for you and you won't work here? Did you change your mind or what?" He laughed while checking out the other system too.
Even though it was the basement room, it had all the necessary things that were needed for the work. The internet was working fine and more than that, there is privacy that he needs to work.
Xu Nuan smiled at his question, " The plan is still the same. I won't be working here. Although I will still check the reports from time to time and will look after the big projects too."
" But….this system is not for me."
" Then who is going to use this system? Are both systems for me? For real?" His eyes lit up upon hearing this.
He would love to work with two systems. It's like heaven for him.
However, before he could float in the bubble that he had created, Xu Nuan popped up the balloon with a sharp pin.
" No. You're going to use your own system. It's for someone else."
"Someone else? For who?" He asks.
" For me!!"
Xu Nuan was about to answer his question when a manly yet charming voice could be heard from outside.
Since it was the basement, the voice was echoing, making it sound even more charming and raspy.
Hu Jun frowns and leans to the side to look towards the gate and is eager to see who else knows about this company.
She has other employees too?
