" Ah, I am so sleepy." Xu Nuan leaned against the hand rest of the couch after finishing a tub of ice cream. She was planning to eat a 'little' at first but ended up finishing the whole tub of ice cream herself after giving Han Zihao a scoop in a cup.
Han Zihao sighed and shook his head helplessly seeing her half-lying on the couch lazily.
'She sure eats like a bird.'
He picked up the ice cream tub from the table and was about to take it to the kitchen when his eyes fell on the white envelope on the table.
He picked up the envelope and turned to Xu Nuan who had her eyes closed and was about to fall asleep on the couch," This envelope...Is this yours?"
Xu Nuan, who was struggling with the drowsiness, yawned and lazily looked over upon hearing his words.
She squinted her eyes to see what he was holding in his hands and said, " Ah, this. I bought this to get your signature on it. Good, you saw it. Otherwise, I would have forgotten about it."
Han Zihao looked at the envelope in his hand and asked in confusion, " My signature? What is it that you need my signature?"
" Permission letter!!"
Han Zihao frowned and sat beside her again to open the envelope while asking her, " Permission Letter? Permission for what?"
" To allow me flexible hours to work," she said while sitting up straight and stretching her body lazily.
Han Zihao was confused upon hearing her words. Flexible hours to work? Why?
"Huh? And why do you need that?"
She turned to him and said casually, " Because college is starting from tomorrow. Since I am a scholarship student, Unfortunately, I need to attend the classes to get a certain number of attendance and marks."
" And that can be only possible if I have flexible hours to work. Don't worry I can handle the things related to the girls and their schedules remotely as well," she assured him.
Although the girls have recently made their debut, they're doing better than any other artists. That's why she dared to ask for flexible hours to work to the CEO Tang of shining bright.
However, since she was recommended by Han Zihao for this position, she needed to get his signature on the permission letter to work remotely and it won't affect her work in any way.
-
Han Zihao stared at her in bewilderment. However, the more she speaks, the more his frown deepened.
After she stopped speaking and waited for his response, he couldn't help but chuckle in speechlessness. " Hah, College? Scholarship? And...when did all of this happen?" He asked in disbelief.
She is starting college tomorrow, and he is finding all of this a day before. Wow!!
"..."
Xu Nuan suddenly felt struck by thunder. Crap!! How can she forget to tell him about this news? When she found out about the news, she was busy avoiding him and when she stopped avoiding him, she forgot about the news.
But seeing his grim expressions, she knew she was done for.
Panicked, she itched the back of her head awkwardly and laughed, " Haha, I didn't tell you before? I think I did, No?" she bit her lower lip while looking at him guiltily.
Han Zihao pursed his lips seeing her making a puppy face. Hah! Does she think she can get away from this by acting cute and laughing as if she doesn't know anything? In her dreams!
" It's not that I was not planning to tell you, it just….it slipped off my mind. Aren't I telling you now?" She tried to explain her position, but the words didn't help. Instead, it made his mood even worse.
Very Good. She forgot that in her case, staying silent would be a much better solution.
" How did you get the admission? As far as I know, it's not the admission time." He took a deep breath and finally asked the question, giving her a sigh of relief.
-
" So you not only managed to get admission in the Xin Lin university but also topped the scholarship exam?" he asked again to confirm after hearing the whole story from her.
Xu Nuan calmly nodded.
He chuckled in speechlessness. Remembering when she told Grandmother Han and Chen Zixing (Han Zihao's stepmother) about continuing her studies and taking admission to Xin Lin university, he realized that she wasn't bluffing at that time.
She not only managed to get into Xin Lin but also got the scholarship as well. She is truly unexpected, even though he doesn't know what will she do next.
-
Xu Nuan stared at him and waited for the series of questions. After all, gaming and topping the exam like this for someone like her is not normal.
However, when he opened his mouth, it left her in bewilder, "So...why are you telling me this now? You should have told me about this after graduating." He said sarcastically.
"Ah?"
She blinked as his words were a little unexpected. So he believed all of it? Without any questions?
Even Grandfather Gu asked her a bunch of questions to her as he was not sure that she really got the scholarship. Considering her level, it was normal to be shocked after hearing the news, however, he was still stuck at her for not telling him about it earlier?
His reaction amused her.
She chuckled seeing him being sulky and poked his arm teasingly, "Aiyo, I never knew Mr. Han can get sulky over this matter. How Cute!" she pinched him after poking him on the shoulder.
Han Zihao's frown deepened seeing her shamelessly evading his words, " Hah!! Cute? Am I a puppy or what? Cute, my foot!"
Xu Nuan raised her brows upon hearing his words and sighed, "It would have been better if you were a puppy, we could have cuddled to sleep at the least." She murmured under her breath.
Although she murmured under her breath, her words didn't go unnoticed by him. He looked over at her in shock, wondering how little worth he has.
Even a dog has more importance than him. That too when she doesn't even have a pet. Thank goodness she doesn't have a dog, otherwise, he would be feeling jealous of a dog.
Sulkily, he murmured in a low voice, "Well, humans can cuddle too. There is no need to be a puppy for that."
Xu Nuan turned to him and asked, "Huh? You said something?"
Embarrassed, he changed the topic and picked the pen from the table to sign the letter, "Ah? I asked where do I need to sign? Here, right? Done."
"But from next time, come to the office for such official work. I can't do these things at home. You're still my employee after all." He said reminding her that he is still the President of the company.
Not everyone has the privilege to get such permission letters signed from him like this. She should be aware that he made an exception for her.
Xu Nuan, who was checking the SNS account nodded and said in passing, "Yes, Yes. Don't worry. I won't be for long."
Upon hearing her strange words, he turned to her in confusion, "Hmm? What do you mean?"
Realizing what she had just said, her eyes widened in startle. She looked at him and laughed before saying, "Haha, Nothing. Since you've signed the letter, I am leaving."
"I need to wake up early. I can't believe I am going to college, again," she murmured tiredly while picking up the letter from the table and left his house without any delay.
