In the next few days, after signing the contract with Guo Hong, Xu Nuan spent most of her time at his studio which he lent her to work. Both of them met sometimes to make fitting music for the lyrics written by the girls. He was also surprised to know that the girls were only trainees as they haven't debuted nor participated in any big competition yet Xu Nuan allowed them to write the lyrics and wants to turn it into a song.
However, as they continued to work and were storming their minds while trying to form an idea, he found her intriguing and realized that she has more potential than a mere manager.
The way she has unique ideas, it would be wrong to say that she looks more of an artist than a manager. She argued with him many times and then found a middle way to solve their block, her actions reminded him of Jiang Yue. Even though the time they had worked together was brief and he hasn't met her in years and now he knows that he can't.
But in all these years nobody fought with him over the music he made or gave him suggestions bossily as she did. She was bossy when it comes to the music but the way her suggestions turned out surprised him a lot. It won't be wrong to say that she was naturally talented in music.
And he keeps getting the same vibes from Xu Nuan.
"Ahh, finally!" Xu Nuan yawned as she stretched her hands back after listening to the music they created for their title track. It fits perfectly with their theme and the lyrics written by the girls. She looked around and realized that Guo Hong already went back.
" I should leave as well," she said while closing the system and picked up her bag. Just as she was about to leave the studio, her phone buzzed and a strange ringtone disturbed the peaceful silence of the studio.
" Who is calling? My love is calling~" She chuckled hearing the ringtone that she had recorded herself and customized it for Han Zihao's number.
She set it today while trying to get an idea about how to make the music more catchy and likable. And that's when she recorded this stupid ringtone which sounded quite funny to her now.
" Yes, my love", she said flirtatiously as soon as she picked up the phone. She looked around the brightly lit studio and checked everything for the last time before switching off the lights while holding the phone closer to her ears.
Han Zihao who was sitting on the couch solemnly was surprised when he heard her bright voice and flirtatious words. He was still trying to adjust to her shamelessly open personality. He was silent for a few moments while trying to hide the smile which subconsciously made its way to his lips.
*Ahem*, " When are you coming back?" he cleared his throat and asked while trying to remain indifferent after hearing those extra words.
"Me? I am done with work. I am just preparing to leave the studio." she said while locking the studio.
Han Zihao frowned when he heard her words and looked at the time. His expressions turned dark as he said in a cold voice, " What? You're leaving now? Do you even know what time it is?"
She paused and raised her brows upon hearing his words. She looked at her phone and realized that it was past 3 am. "When the time passed so quickly?" she murmured as she placed a palm on her abdomen realizing that she didn't even have dinner yet. She was working at the office in the morning and came to the studio in the evening to finalize the title track.
She only had a light lunch in the afternoon as she was busy with the other work as well.
" No wonder it was growling so loudly," she said while shaking her head in helplessness while clutching onto her abdomen.
She quickly placed the phone on her ears when she remembered that she was still on call " Ah, I didn't even realize about the time. However, you don't need to worry. I will call a cab for me. By the way, were you waiting for me to come all this while? I am surprised that you're still awake." she said coquettishly. However this time, his expressions didn't turn to normal upon hearing her sweet voice.
He gritted his teeth seeing her carelessness and said coldly, " Don't you dare call a cab. Just stay there. I am coming. Also, don't leave your studio and wander on the streets until I reach there. Okay?" he said coldly while standing up to get his car keys.
Xu Nuan who almost walked out of the building and was preparing to call the cab after he hung up the call stopped in her steps upon hearing his words. What? He is coming to get her? At this time?
Her lips curled up in a smile upon hearing his protective words. She looked outside and realized how dark it is. This area doesn't even have CCTV cameras nor there are any shops open by this time. This area is secluded and has an eerie feeling just like Guo Hong's house.
She would be lying if she said that she was feeling confident enough to get a cab at this time around here. In the past, she was protected by managers and bodyguards so she never had time to learn self-defense and stuff. She sucks at things that require physical strength except dancing.
That's why everyone was shocked when she was given the action scene for the MV and in the end, she didn't get the chance to complete that shoot.
" Okay. I'll be waiting for you," she said in a low voice, before hanging up the phone.
She sent her location to him and waited for him at the studio which she unlocked again.
-
After 20 minutes, Han Zihao stopped the car in front of the location that she had sent him. He frowned seeing the secluded area which was far from the subway and other transport facilities. And not only that, there is no CCTV camera in the area making it more dangerous as it is.
The location was 50 minutes away from his house but since it was night time and he practically flew over her, he managed to reach in 20 minutes.
He called her and she soon walked out of the building while holding her bag in one hand and phone in the other which was against her ears. He told her to not hang up the call and walk out of the building while being on call. The area was dark and he was worried about her, so he asked her to not hang up till she came out.
Xu Nuan looked at him and smiled tiredly before waking up to him, " Can I hang up now?" she asked while looking at him amusingly.
She was surprised that he could be more protective than she had thought. Since she has never received this kind of protection from anyone other than her bodyguards or manager, she was surprised to get this kind of attention from a man who doesn't have a working relationship with her.
She always wondered why female leads act so touched when their boyfriends drop them at home or take care of them. But now she realized. When the people have no blood relation with you and treat you with seriousness and care about you, you can't help but feel flutters in your stomach.
Although she was not sure if she was feeling this way because she was hungry or just touched by his actions, his worried face amused her to the point that it made her chuckle.
