Luo Dan was caught off guard when Han Liang held her hand out of nowhere and started to pull her with him. With no choice left, she also followed him, however, she couldn't keep up with his pace because of the heavy shopping bags that she was holding.

She pursed her lips when he glanced back and saw a group of young people walking out of the mall, laughing and giggling.

​​

Han Liang, who was walking ahead of her while holding her hand, glanced at her and saw her stopping a few times to adjust her bags.

He stopped in his tracks and turned around to take the bags from her, " Give it to me."

" Ah, it's okay. I can hold it." She protested, feeling embarrassed at his sudden kind gesture.

" Of course you can hold it. But let me hold it for now if you don't want to be caught in an unnecessary scandal," he said indifferently, before pointing at a man.

Luo Dan looked back and frowned, realizing that behind the group of people, a man was also walking out of the mall. However, he is not just any man, he is one of the paparazzi who is famous for following idols to their houses and release the news about their love affairs.

" What is he doing here?" She gasped, however, Han Liang didn't stop in his steps and kept pulling on her hand with him.

"That's why we need to hurry up and leave from here." He commented.

Luo Dan stared at his back in a daze while following him and glanced at her hand that he was holding onto.

It felt strange.

It was her first time holding hands with a man and they were warm and surprisingly soft.

She debuted five years ago and has been training since a young age. Like others, she didn't get the time to meet new people and make new friends out of her group and staff circle.

The only physical contact that she had with men was with her male dancers who were professional and were nothing more than the people with whom she used to work.

Lin Hui, who used to follow them around and was with them for almost 24 hours, was a close friend and a manager to her.

It's not like she was holding hands with a man for the first time, but it was the first time that she was feeling these strange emotions.

It's just holding hands, but why doesn't it feel as normal as it used to be before?

She never had much interaction with other male idols either. However, now she was holding hands with Han Liang.

For some reason, this situation was making her face red.

What is this? It's just holding hands since we're in an urgent situation…..but...why am I thinking so much about it? She wondered.

After settling in the passenger seat of the car, Luo Dan glanced at Han Liang who was sitting on the driver's seat and was removing his mask.

To escape from the situation, he brought her to his car that was parked in the parking lot.

Han Liang glanced at her and pursed his lips tightly. He was trying to control his expressions, but he could feel his heart beating crazily against his chest.

'She is sitting in my car….Yes!!'

' Ah, wait. It's technically not my car, but my manager's car. But who cares when she is sitting together with me in the same car.'

'Don't smile Han Liang….just don't.' He took a deep breath before turning to her, " Aren't you hungry? It's already lunchtime."

" I am. But it's not like we can go anywhere from here until the man leaves."

She was starving. She couldn't even have breakfast in the morning and after all the shopping, she could feel her body giving up and was begging for food.

But rather than going home and making something to eat, she was stuck here.

Upon hearing her sigh, he nodded and put on a seat belt, and said, " Put on your seatbelt."

She looked at him in surprise and blinked.

" I...I haven't eaten anything since morning. Rather than staying here and waiting for him to leave, why don't we go out and eat something delicious?"

" This way we can get out of this situation and won't waste our time by staying here uselessly either." He explained.

He looked at her earnestly and was waiting for her answer.

What if she rejects me? He wondered.

However, to his surprise, she said, " Hmm...I think that will be better. But…. weren't you going somewhere? I mean... you're dressed like this, I thought you were going somewhere." She said, pointing at his white shirt and black trousers, which were different from his usual attire.

" Ah, it's already done. I wore it for a meeting but it's already over. I am free now, I don't have anything else to do now." He lied.

They were on their way for a photoshoot but stopped on the way to buy something at the mall. However, he knows that he won't be able to get a better opportunity to have lunch with her than his.

How can he miss that?

Before driving out of the parking lot, he messaged his manager, who was still in the mall.

[Cancel today's shoot. I am taking your car with me; Bye.]

[ Ah, Don't call or message me later. I am not gonna answer them anyway.]

~Ding~

His manager, who was at the billing counter, checks the message that Han Liang has sent and frowns, " What the heck? What is he doing now?"

He hurriedly left the mall and when he reached the parking lot where his car was parked, only the empty parking space could be seen, not his car.

" This brat…" He sighed exasperatedly. How can he cancel the photoshoot at the last moment and leave him alone to be chewed by the fussy photographer behind like this?

***

After washing the dishes, when Han Zihao went upstairs, he found Xu Nuan packing their luggage.

He never thought that two days could be this short. Before he realized it, it came to an end.

He sighed and went to Xu Nuan, who was sitting on the bed and was putting their clothes in it.

She was wearing his white shirt and black shorts underneath. The top two buttons of the shirt were undone, revealing her milky white skin which was marked by him.

A proud smile appeared on his lips seeing the marks on her nape. Her hair was slightly damp since she took a bath a while ago and hasn't gotten the chance to dry them.

He sighed and went to sit behind her. He grasped her waist and pulled her towards him, hugging her from behind, " Can't we stay here for a few more days? Two days are too short for our first trip." He whined.

Xu Nuan glanced at him and chuckled seeing him trying to charm her with his cuteness. But it won't work now.

" No! We have to leave tomorrow morning." She rejected him firmly.

"I am already taking tomorrow's off since you said that we will leave for home on Monday. Also, aren't you the President of the company, shouldn't you be busier than me?"

He pursed his lips and frowned, " So what if I am the President? Can't I take a few days off? I pay my employees for their leisure time and give them the paid leaves as well. But, I, The President of the company, cannot take a few days off, hah!" He scoffed, feeling wronged.

Xu Nuan turned to him and stared at him in speechlessness. He sure knows how to use his pitiful card to make her feel bad.

She sighed and turned to look at him, " Be a good guy and help me in packing. If you do that…"

His eyes lit up upon hearing her suggestive words, " If I do that…." He repeated her words and waited for her to complete her words.

She caressed his face and said, " If you do that….I will give you a surprise."

" Surprise? And...What is it?" He asks before pulling her closer.

She giggled and leaned to whisper, " Surprise won't be a surprise if we reveal them. So….be patient and help me first."

He pursed his lips and sighed. What choice does he have? She isn't extending their holidays and was luring him to help her in packing by talking about a surprise with those tempting eyes.

" You better do something better, otherwise I am not gonna let you get away from this," he warned her before picking up the clothes to pack in the carrier.

She giggled seeing him complying with her command and nodded firmly, " Don't worry. I won't let you feel wronged in any way."
