Chapter 405
” Ah....My back.” Xu Nuan groaned in backache as she covered herself with the cozy blanket again and closed her eyes to rest for a while. After tiring her out in the early morning, he helped her to change into a fresh pair of silk pajamas.
Otherwise, she didn’t have the slightest energy to get out of bed and go to the bathroom. Damn, what kind of energy pills does this man take to be so full of energy and passion, that too so early in the morning?
She was half-dead only after the first round and barely managed to keep her eyes open after that. She doesn’t even remember when he helped her to change into the pajamas and found herself in a fresh pair of pajamas later on.
While she was tossing around in the bed, Han Zihao was making breakfast for her downstairs to help her replenish her energy. Because of him, both of them missed their work and she doubts if she could even go to work today.

“Here. Don’t make faces and drink it up quickly.” Han Zihao said as he passed her a glass of a drink that looked brown and had the most disgusting pungent smell.
.....
Xu Nuan frowned upon smelling the drink and fake gagged while pushing away the glass from her reach, ” Yack!! What is this? The smell is so disgusting.” She makes a face at him and covers her nose with her palm.
Han Zihao chuckled at her reaction as he persuaded her, ” Why are you acting as if you’re seeing it for the first time? It’s the tonic drink sent by Grandma. She had told me to make you drink this whenever you feel sick and low in energy. It’s nothing but a healthy, energy drink. Now drink it up.”
He can see that these days, she looks weaker than usual and doesn’t have much energy to do anything. Even after their love-making session, it was her first time to feel so lethargic and exhausted to the point that she couldn’t even bear to stand up and do anything.
” Now come on, be a good girl and drink it.” He held the glass in front of her mouth for her to drink it. He coaxed her with his sweet words and made her drink the first sip that she couldn’t bear to swallow and ran off to the bathroom to spit it out.
It was his first time seeing her running around since morning. Seems like the energy drink does have some positive effects.

” Argh. It was so bitter and had this pungent stench that made me vomit.” Xu Nuan whined as she came back from the bathroom after throwing up.
Han Zihao frowned and looked at her face worriedly, ” You threw it up? Was it that bad?”
It’s not like Xu Nuan was drinking it for the first time. He had made her drink it in the past too whenever she caught a cold or got sick. She always complained about its bitterness and smell but never threw it up like this and drank it all the time.
Then what happened this time that she threw it all?
Xu Nuan pursed her lips and nodded, feeling guilty. ” I would have drunk it since grandma sent it, but...I am not feeling well at the moment and it’s too bitter for me to drink it. If I drink it anymore, I will throw up right away.” She told him honestly.
Forget about drinking it whole, the pungent smell of it was enough to make her throw up right away. However, she was holding it well and trying not to run to the bathroom again.
Running around only means losing the remaining energy that she has in her body.
‘Aish, if not for him, she wouldn’t have gotten into this embarrassing condition.’ She glared at him and cursed at him with her eyes, making him feel conscious of her.
Han Zihao sighed and put away the glass on the side table before turning to her. ” Do you want me to take you to the hospital? You don’t look well these days,” he asked worriedly, caressing her hair gently.
Xu Nuan wiped her mouth with a tissue and took a glass of fresh orange juice from him that he brought for her, along with the fresh vegetable sandwiches for breakfast. ” I am fine. Just a little tired from work. I think I will be alright after resting for a while.”
Han Zihao nodded and rubbed her arms lovingly, ” Take it easy. You don’t need to overwork yourself until you get sick. I don’t want you to faint because of exhaustion once again. Hope you don’t forget the doctor’s warning and keep your meals and rest in check. Okay?”
Xu Nuan smiled to see him worried about her and nodded in agreement. ” Okay, Boss. I will not be careless about my body and will eat and sleep on time. Hopefully.” She added in last to tease him, causing him to glare at her.
She chuckled and pulled him for a hug and gave him a peck on his cheeks. ” I understood your Highness. I will do, as you say.” She added to soothe her angry bird.

After Xu Nuan had breakfast, she was now lying in the bed again, meanwhile, Han Zihao sat next to her and rested his back against the headboard while gazing at her sleeping face.
While he was staring at her beautiful face and was caressing her hair lovingly to make her sleep, he remembered something important and his jaw stiffened at the thought of it.
” Xu Nuan, are you sleeping?” He asked in a low voice, wondering if she was really sleeping or not.
Xu Nuan made a sound of disagreement and turned around to face him, ” I was just resting with my eyes closed. What is it?” She asked seriously. As soon as she heard his deep voice, she knew that something was up and bothering him.
Han Zihao looked at her curious face and pursed his lips in hesitance before asking, ” Xu Nu....No....I mean...Jiang Yue. Have you ever thought about your accident? I mean, it’s not so common for a harness to break like this so easily. I am sure the crew staff must do security checks before doing such stunts. Do you really think that it was just an accident or it was someone’s doing?”
Upon hearing his concerning words, Xu Nuan let out a breath and sat up on the bed. ” Is this what bothers you? Because you never asked anything about it before.” She asked seriously.
Han Zihao looked into her eyes and nodded. ” I never asked about it because I was worried that it would give you unnecessary stress. However, I was always bothered about this question. Even if it was in the past, it was not something easy to forget or excusable. If we can fight for Xu Nuan’s right against the Gu family and Xingren, don’t you think we should do the same for your old self?”
Xu Nuan was silent for a few minutes and took a deep breath to register his words in her head. All this while, she was trying her best to forget this incident and move on as if nothing happened. Because she was afraid to find the dirty truths, that might even be darker than Qin Ju cheating on her with her best friend, Hao Mei.
When she found out Hao Mei and Qin Ju were cheating on her, she had a doubt that Hao Mei and Qin Ju might be involved in the accident and there was a high possibility that it might not be an accident at all.
Even though she is not sure if they planned the whole accident or not, she was really not interested to know all of that. Being a cheater is way better than being accused of murder. She doesn’t want to turn her best memories even worse and more bitter.
That’s why rather than going deep into this whole conspiracy, she didn’t dig into this matter and let the police take charge of the investigation. Because after the forgery of her will, the police were bound to investigate her accident mystery.
However, even the police announced it as accidental death and not murder. Then....was it really just an accident? She wonders about it sometimes.
” I am sure it must be just an accident. Sometimes such accidents happen, it seems like it happened to me this time.” She snorted bitterly and shook her head to forget about those dark memories. There is no reason to dig deep into those things and make things complicated for her in her present life.
