Chapter 110 - Mrs. Han
Han Zihao frowned when he heard her word showing her greedy intentions. His jaw stiffened as he couldn't understand why she wanted to keep that woman's money. He doesn't want that woman's money as he hates to owe anything to her.
But she wanted to keep that money and leave him? Does she not know that if she becomes his woman, she will get more than this mere 5 million.
Xu Nuan saw his troubled expressions and smirked before squatting down on the ground and started unpacking the white bag to see what he brought for lunch.
" She gave it herself, it's not that I put her on gunpoint to sign this check." she chuckled.
" But why do you need this money? If you need something I can give you. Do you need to stoop so low just to take her money? That woman….her money is as disgusting as her. I don't want you to take even a penny from her." he said seriously.
She might be his mother but he has stopped calling her mother, the day she left him alone at home, burning in fever just to go to a club for a party. He remembered many things which caused him to be parted away from her but that was the thing which caused their parents to divorce in the end.
He almost died from that incident and yet his mother didn't accept her fault and told him that it was he who ate the wrong medicine and almost died. That day it became clear that one cannot be a mother just because they gave birth to a child. Being a mother is the biggest responsibility and just giving birth doesn't make you responsible.
It was sad that he got to realize this truth at such a young age which made him sensitive and cold towards other people. That's why he couldn't make any friends because he doesn't want to feel envious of their happy families. Not everyone is perfect, everyone has their part of difficulties. Some get to witness this earlier, and some later.
In his case, he matured pretty early after experiencing these situations. That's when he met Jiang Yue who came as a pleasant breeze in his life, made him feel fulfilled and happy. With her by his side, he managed to forget those things whenever he spent time with her and played with her.
She was the one who knocked on his closed heart and forced him to open the door that he had already locked.

Han Zihao pursed his lips when he suddenly remembered Jiang Yue's childish words that she had once said when she was young, " Brother Han, you don't like your mother? No problem. I don't like her either if you don't like her. Don't worry, I will be by your side and will keep her away from you. I will always protect you from everyone." that five-year-old girl said those words innocently when she didn't even get her permanent teeth properly yet.
Xu Nuan stood up again and stared at him and saw him lost in his thoughts. She wasn't sure what he was thinking but she could see his hurt and upset expressions which was making her uncomfortable.
Seeing his expressions, she realized that he seems to have a much more complicated relationship with his mother than she had expected.
She pursed her lips and said, " I am not keeping this money for myself. I am not poor to the point that I need others money to fulfill my needs. I might look like who runs after money but I have my standards." she said while shaking her head.
Han Zihao, who was standing there with grim expressions, looked at her in confusion, wondering why she was not ready to return this check if she had no intention to use this money. " Then why do you want to keep this check with you?"
She smirked and said, " To do some good deeds." she chuckled and shook her head, " Don't worry. I might not be a business tycoon like you but I know where the most profit lies. Becoming Mrs. Han is much more profitable than leaving you and grabbing this petty check. Also, she forgot this check here, it's not my fault. Why should I return this?" she asked while shrugging her shoulder.
" Also, she dared to humiliate me by offering this petty amount. She should be taught a lesson that it's not right to sign checks like this and give to others without thinking twice," she said, leaving him in confusion but his expressions were brighter than before after hearing her say, Mrs. Han.
His ears turned crimson, seeing her addressing herself as Mrs. Han. He can't imagine her becoming his wife and sharing the same room as him. This thought alone was making him uncomfortable and caused his face to turn red.

After eating lunch together, Xu Nuan raised her legs and sat while crossing them on the chair comfortably. She groaned in satisfaction after eating the spicy lobster which engaged her taste buds and said like an old man, " Woah, that was...delicious. Did you bring it from Jade Island hotel?" she asked while rubbing her full stomach.
He chuckled and responded, " Yeah. You just gobbled the most expensive meal course as if it's nothing. Are you sure you were on diet? Didn't you say a few days ago that you need to lose weight because you have gained a few extra pounds?" he commented, making her shoot him a glare.
He cleared his throat seeing her darkened expressions and changed the topic, " Ahem, how's your work going? The debut date of girls in December right? November is about to start in a week, how is the progress going on?" he asked.
Xu Nuan sat straight upon hearing his question and sighed tiredly, " Yeah. We're going to record the track in the next week and will start working on the choreography." she said.
His expressions darkened hearing that they hadn't even recorded the track and even the Music video was yet to be shot. If they haven't practiced the choreography, they won't be able to film the music video on time then how can everything be done on time?
" Xu Nuan, do you think you can manage everything on your own? Both girl groups are supposed to debut together and I heard that the other group are done with their choreography. Why are you guys so behind the schedule?"
She scoffed and said, "I will manage everything. Don't worry. Also, I have Lin Hui to help me. WIth him by my side, it has reduced so much burden off me." she said which made his expressions turn grim. She didn't tell him about how Wang Meili was making things difficult for her by prohibiting her from working with everyone.
She doesn't want to run to him for every single problem. Even though she knows that he will help her eventually but she doesn't want to go to him if she can solve it herself. She wants a boyfriend who can support not a sugar daddy who can help her whenever she needs money or any problem arises at work.
"Lin Hui? Why is he helping you?"
