Xu Nuan was not even surprised after hearing Grandfather Gu's words. She was expecting this kind of reaction from them, maybe even worse. They wouldn't have imagined in their wild dreams that the girl who barely managed to graduate from high school will not only top the exam but get such an honorable scholarship along with admission to the university.
Meanwhile, Xingren who topped high school exams and cleared the entrance exam with flying colors and was preparing for this exam since she entered the university didn't manage to get that first rank.
'I wonder how Xingren must have felt after seeing the rankings.' A smirk formed on her lips wondering about her shocking reaction. She should have witnessed such a golden moment, 'The moment when the Princess of Gu family must have found out that she is not the only one who deserves to be on top.'
As she was listening to Grandfather Gu's words, explaining what happened at the Mansion when Mr. Wen called Gu Zhang, her doorbell rang. She looked towards the door and said to Grandfather Gu before slipping into her slippers as she walked towards the door, " Grandpa, I think I have to go. Someone is at the door."
Grandfather Gu got worried-looking at the time and said in concern, " Xu Nuan, don't open the door. It's so late, who can that be? Let me send someone over there. It's not safe for you to be at home alone." He got worried wondering who could be on the door this late, it's already past 10:30.
Since she lives alone, her safety, what worries him the most. After coming to Gu's family, she never went out of the house unlike Xinregn who used to go on trips with her friends, she has no experience of living alone or going out by herself.
She has lived in the orphanage alone but that was different since she was surrounded by other people almost every time. She has never stayed alone, but now she was all alone, in that house. How is she even managing by herself?
" Grandpa, it's nothing. I ordered food delivery, it must be the delivery man."
" Why are you eating delivery food. You should cook for yourself. Aren't you a good cook?" He said remembering that she had made sweet and sour pork for him once and it was amazing. When she can cook, then why order from outside?
Xu Nuan pursed her lips as she couldn't tell him that she can't cook anymore, because she isn't Xu Nuan. If she tried to cook, her kitchen would be on fire.
She is not cooking for other safety.
" Grandpa, Your granddaughter is not a young girl anymore. I am working and can manage myself. You don't need to worry about me, just take care of yourself and don't fight with anyone because of me." she said as she stood near the door but didn't open it yet.
" Because I can fight with them myself.." After saying this, she hung up the phone after assuring him that she is fine and is not a young Xu Nuan anymore. She might look 21 years old but she is 26 years old inwardly.
On the other hand, Grandfather Gu was in a daze after she hung up the phone. A pleased smile appeared on his lips seeing how responsible she has become. She even started to speak more to him, unlike in the past where she only greets him formerly and even hesitates to call him grandfather.
There were times where he got to see her gentle side but she was mainly awkward and tended to stay far away from him.
His timid-young Xu Nuan has grown into a big girl now.

Xu Nuan picked up her wallet from the shelf in the corridor, near the door and pulled out the cash before opening the door.
She opened the door slightly and extended her hand from the small gap while holding the cash and said, " You're quite late. It's been more than half an hour since I ordered." she mumbled in dissatisfaction.
They have promised that they will deliver it within 20 minutes, she was waiting like a hungry hyena all this while. It was her first proper meal in the whole day after all.
She was waiting for the guy to take the cash and give her the delivery but he wasn't doing anything. What's going on? Is the cash not enough? She frowned, wondering if she didn't take out enough cash.
She lowered her hand and peeped outside from the small gap that made her eyes widen in shock. Han...Han Zihao? What is he doing here at this time?
-
Han Zihao who just came back from the office and was making his way to the elevator when he noticed a delivery man standing at the reception, looking troubled.
" You can't go up unless the person living in 801 allows you in. And her line is busy at the moment. You have to wait." The guard said to the delivery man when he couldn't contact Xu Nuan since her phone was busy.
" But the food will get cold and I don't want to gain demerit points for that. I also need to deliver somewhere else as well."
However, the guard didn't budge as he cannot let a stranger go in without the house owner's permission. The delivery men and servicemen have to go through a thorough check due to security reasons before going inside the building.
Han Zihao frowned upon hearing Xu Nuan's unit number and walked to the delivery man. " Is this for unit 801? You don't need to go in. Hand it to me."
The delivery man looked at the man who was dressed in a pale-grey formal suit, looking as if he was coming from a business-dramaland.
"Ah, Aren't you the one who also lives on the 8th floor? Unit 802?" The guard asks as he recognizes him since he is the only man who is this handsome man in this building and still a bachelor. The building is filled with rich people but not everyone is blessed with such heavenly looks.
How can he not remember him?
-
Remembering how he ended up carrying her food delivery, a mild smirk appeared on his lips. She was trying her level best to avoid him but she can't get away from his radar.
He will always be in front of her, even though she tries to run away from him.
'Ah, that's a little creepy.' he pursed his lips thinking how his thoughts sound a bit creepy to him.
As he was waiting for her to come out and take her food, but when the door opened, he saw her fair-extended hands rather than her face. He isn't some deliveryman to hand her the food just like this, that's why he waited and waited until she showed herself.
"Mr...Mr. Han?"
