Jade Hotel-

To avoid the paparazzi and any scandal, Han Liang took Luo Dan to the Jade Hotel, whose security was top-notch and the staff would not leak the information to others either. Here they can not only manage to avoid the paparazzi but also get to eat the delicious food. 

​​

They were sitting in a private room with a round table in the middle and the chairs were placed orderly around it. The table was full of various kinds of appetizing dishes. There were dumplings, fried rice, and sweet and sour pork with noodles. 

Luo Dan gulped and started putting the dishes on her plate. 

Han Liang smiled seeing her eating well, however, rather than placing the plate that she filled with food in front of her, she passed it to him, " Here."

He was surprised. He wasn't expecting her to give him her plate. 

Seeing him frozen in one place and not taking the plate, Luo Dan said, " Do you not eat these kinds of fried food? Should I order something else?" 

" No! No! I eat it well. I will eat it all." He snatched the plate from her hands and started eating the food as if it's the best thing in the world. Although the food was indeed good and was made by the best chef, the reason for his excitement was different. 

Luo Dan was pleased to see him eating well and started eating too. 

-

While eating, Han Liang kept glancing at her. He needed to ask her something, but how? 

The other day, Xu Nuan told him to ask Luo Dan directly and be bold. However, his hands were getting cold from nervousness. 

" Luo Dan!!" He called her by her name. 

She looked at him in surprise, wondering why he suddenly looked serious. 

Han Liang took a deep breath, ' Just say you fell in love with her at first sight.'

' Tell her that she is so beautiful and he cannot take his eyes off her.'

' Luo Dan, I like you. Will you go out with me?' He repeated in his head but when he opened his mouth, things didn't go as he had thought. 

" Luo Dan, do you have a boyfriend?" He asked, loud and clear. Since the room was quiet, his words were resonating in the room, making her frown at him. 

'Shit, Shit, Shit!!' 

' How can I ask that question at this time? The whole mood calls for a confession, but what is this?'

Luo Dan raised her brows. For a moment, she was shocked and didn't know how and what to answer. 

It was so sudden. 

" I don't." She responded calmly.

" Oh…" Han Liang was at a loss for words. He never thought that she would end the conversation so easily. 

"Ermmm…" He blinked and tried to think what to say next. 

'I can ask her out now, isn't it the right timing? She is single too,' he thought. 

" Then who was that guy with whom you were drinking the coffee the other day, and was laughing loudly? You never laugh like that when you're with me." He grumbles. 

His eyes widened in shock upon realizing what nonsense he just said. 

' Someone please stab me with a butter knife. I don't even deserve to be stabbed with a regular knife.'

'I am dead. Please let me die.' He was crying inwardly. 

'Now she will think of me as a busybody and an annoying man.' he sighed discouragingly. 

Luo Dan stared at him and didn't say anything for a few minutes. She could see his expressions changing and he looked sorry after asking that personal question. 

She wouldn't have answered this question to others because she doesn't like to explain herself when she was asked such questions. However, strangely, she didn't feel mad about his question. 

After taking a sip of her orange juice, she said, " The guy you saw the other day? He was Lin Hui, our group's manager, and my close friend. We were meeting after so long, so there were many things to talk about."

" Ah." He nodded. He was feeling glad that she didn't say anything, otherwise, this would have become a 'real' awkward situation. 

She noticed his stiff expressions and smiled. " We're just friends, nothing else." She added. 

He looked up at her in confusion and blinked, " Ahhh….No, I was...I was just asking because…"

" Woah, these noodles are so spicy. Didn't we order the mild ones?" She exclaimed in surprise upon tasting the spicy noodles. 

" Did they give you the spicy ones? But I ordered the mild ones for you. Wait, let me ask them." He said. 

Seeing him thinking about food now, she was relieved. His questions had put them in strange awkwardness and silence. She needed to break the ice and change the topic to something else.

After coming back from the trip, Xu Nuan got busy with her studies and work again. 

It's been two weeks since they came back from the trip, there are times when she feels nervous around him. However, it's not awkward anymore. 

They have become quite close and comfortable with each other in the past month. 

She is basically living at his place. She just sleeps at her place, other than that, she spends all of her time at his place. 

Even though she is busy, she always tries to take some time to bother him with her text messages and video calls. 

However, the thing she started to bother him, she was not sure anymore if it's a bother for him or not. Because he picks up her call in two or three rings and never looks like he was busy or was doing anything. 

How is that even possible? How can he not get irritated with her calling and messaging him so much? Even if she gets annoyed when someone disturbs her while working, how can he not? 

A wide smile appeared on her lips upon remembering the way he responds to her calls and how clingy he has become these days. From Sloth Han, he is becoming Koala Han. 

If he can, he will stick with her all day long. 

He still asks her about the 'surprise' that she had promised him the other day. He acts as if she has wronged him by making a fake promise. 

But she never says anything and always maintains a long silence. The surprise shouldn't be revealed so easily. 

She needed to do some build-up. 

He should be patient if he wants to know the surprise. After all, it's a surprise for a reason. 

-

After attending the classes, Xu Nuan went directly to the company. In the last few days, she was coming to the office regularly after attending the classes. 

The girls have recently participated in a reality show where the girls were given a chance to showcase their vocal skills. Seeing how entertaining they appear on screen, they keep getting offers to be a guest in more reality talk shows. 

Not only that, the accessories that they were wearing that day, all sold out. Seeing the effect they have, they keep getting the commercial and endorsement offers. Because of their success, everyone was shocked and frowned upon them, calling their success a temporary one and it will fade away after a few times. 

They're not wrong. However, now it's her duty to keep them at the top and find what's best for them. 

Xu Nuan was sitting in her office and was going through the endorsement offers for the girls. While she was checking the details and was thinking about which one would be the best choice for them, her phone rang. 

She answered the phone but was left speechless upon hearing the news. " Are...you serious? Has it been confirmed?"

-

In the practice room, loud music was playing and Song Ai was lying on the floor, sweating and exhausted from practicing non-stop. 

Meanwhile, Sun Ya and Pan Lan were playing around and were laughing aloud while tickling each other. 

Unlike their chaotic world, Lai Yi was silently sitting in the corner and was checking any new articles about them. She still can't digest the news that not only they got their first trophy from their debut song, but also they're winning other music shows and going higher and higher in the music charts. 

Everything felt like a dream, however, it was too real to be a dream. 

She was startled and was forced to wake up from her reverie when Song Ai clapped her hands and shouted, " Girls, get up. We need to practice. Didn't Xu Nuan say that we need to keep practicing daily to improve our form? So don't laze around and move." 

Pan Lan looked over and chuckled," You're the one who needs to get up since you're still on the floor. First, you get up before asking us to move." 

Song Ai frowned and glared at her. Pan Lan always finds a way to cut her words and annoy her. They fight a lot and couldn't stand each other breathing peacefully, however, their bickering is what keeps them together and lively. 

Sun Ya giggled seeing that they're on it again. " Fight!! We want a fight!! Fight!!" she started shouting but before she could get to witness the great battle, the door of the practice room opened. 

They looked over, " Xu Nuan!!" 

Song Ai stood up and walked to her, " Are you here to watch our practice routine? Do you want to record a video of it?" 

Xu Nuan shook her head and said, " I am not here because of that. I have news for you all." 

Seeing her serious expressions, everyone was confused. Why was she being so mysterious?
