My Evil Genius Wife

He slowly opened his eyes and looked at his surroundings. 

The walls were painted grey and there were white translucent curtains on the window on the right, from which the sunlight was coming in, hitting his face. The room was plain and bare. There were no paintings or even a wall clock in the room, giving it an uninhabited feeling. 

The bed in the middle of the room felt strange. There were only two pieces of furniture in the room, the bed and the wooden side table. 

He frowned to see the unfamiliar surroundings and raised his head to find himself in an unfamiliar bed and was covered with a velvety grey blanket. 

He immediately sat up on the bed and groaned in pain while massaging his temples. " What place is this?" He murmured while trying to remember the events of last night. 

His lips curved downwards upon remembering the last words of Xu Nuan. " You\'re my best friend." 

Although she didn\'t complete her words, those words were her clear response to his question. 

He sighed heavily as the thought of last night was making him uncomfortable. 

He closed his eyes and tried to remember how he ended up here. After sending Xu Nuan off, he took a taxi and went to the nearest lounge for a drink. 

It was one of the days when he was craving alcohol. Only it could help him to soothe his burning heart. 

He wanted to forget everything by drowning himself in the alcohol. 

\'But what happened afterward? How come I ended up here?\' He wondered. 

Just as he was wondering what place it was, the door of the room opened. His eyes widened in surprise to see the familiar face. 

" Jia Fei?"

-

Jia Fei, who brought lemon honey water for Lin Hui to drink to soothe his hangover, was caught off guard to see him awake. She wasn\'t expecting to see him awake and was planning to leave it on the side table before silently leaving the house. 

She doesn\'t want to face him in the morning and that made the atmosphere even more awkward between them. 

Jia Fei scratched the back of her neck and said awkwardly, " You woke up...quite early."

Lin Hui frowned and wondered what she was doing here. His eyes widened in shock as a crazy idea ran through his head. Don\'t tell me...is it her place? 

-

After freshening up, Lin Hui walked out of the room and saw Jia Fei sitting on the dining table while Yuhan was placing the dishes on the table. 

He walked to him and said, " Thanks for letting me stay here. Jia Fei told me that it was you who carried me on the back last night. Sorry about that." He apologized, feeling embarrassed of his actions last night. 

He doesn\'t remember anything but Jia Fei told him how the waiter contacted her and she went to pick him up at the lounge at night. If not for her friend to offer his place to stay, it would have been quite difficult for her to handle him. 

Yuhan looked at him and teased, " I am glad that you\'re not too heavy, otherwise you would have come to visit me at the hospital."

-

At the dining table, the three of them sat together as they ate the porridge made by Yuhan. 

Jia Fei tasted the porridge and looked at Yuhan in surprise. \'I thought he was useless but he can cook. Not bad!!\' she wondered. 

Lin Hui glanced at Jia Fei and raised his brows upon noticing her strange outfit. Now he sees it, she was wearing men\'s clothes. The grey t-shirt that she was wearing was loose on her and the black pajamas were also too big for her. 

Her hair was tied in a ponytail but they looked a little messy as well. 

" Jia Fei, did you sleep here last night too?" He asked curiously. 

Jia Fei choked on the food and coughed violently before looking at him in surprise. She swallowed the food in her mouth before speaking, " Ah, Yes. By the time we reached here, it was too late to go back. I thought it was a better idea to stay here than leaving."

Last night when she decided to stay, Yuhan gave her a pair of his night pajamas for her to change into. 

She was planning to crash on his couch in the living room, but surprisingly, he let her sleep in his bedroom, while he slept on the couch. 

She hates to agree but he looked slightly manly when he did that. 

Lin Hui nodded and glanced at Yuhan before asking again, " How do you know each other? You guys must be close since you let a stranger like me stay here for a night."

Yuhan glanced at Jia Fei and saw her staring at Lin Hui with pursed lips. Before he could say anything, she said, " Yes. We\'re quite \'close\'. That\'s why I could stay at his place, otherwise, why would I stay at any stranger\'s place?" she laughed.

She is a renowned celebrity. She can\'t sleep anywhere carelessly, yet she did, for him. But it\'s not like it will change anything. 

No matter how much one makes an effort, this cannot change someone\'s heart. Her feelings are her feelings, she can\'t force them on him and make him uncomfortable. 

" Oh. I asked because I have never seen you before with any other friend. I am glad that you\'re making friends outside the group now." Lin Hui said. 

Due to Jia Fei\'s feisty personality, she doesn\'t have any friends outside the group. In the five years of her career, he has never seen her talking to anyone else other than her group members. 

Yuhan frowned at her suggestive words. Technically, they are strangers. Yesterday was the second time they met. 

Jia Fei covered her face with her palm, avoiding Yuhan\'s gaze. After seeing Lin Hui repeating Jiang Yue\'s name in his sleep, she doesn\'t want to tell him that to pick him from the lounge she risked her reputation and even slept at a stranger\'s house just to take care of him. 

She doesn\'t want to look even more pathetic as she already is. 

--

Xu Nuan stood in front of the vanity table as she checked herself in the mirror for the last time.

She was wearing a pastel blue dress that was hugging her body from the waist and was flowy from the bottom. 

It was reaching to her knees, making it slightly conservative and elegant. The sleeveless dress has a highlight knot on the edge of the right shoulder, making the dress look out of the ordinary. 

In the morning, she received a call from Grandmother Han who invited her to the Han Mansion for dinner with Han Zihao. It was her second time going to the Han Mansion, however this time, she is going there as Han Zihao\'s official girlfriend. 

She took a deep breath before brushing her chest-nut brown hair and let them loose in wavy soft curls.

" It was good that I bought some dresses the other day. Otherwise, I would have nothing to wear for tonight." She took a deep breath before slipping into her white heels. 

"  Why am I feeling nervous when I have already met them before?"

-

In the car, Han Zihao glanced at Xu Nuan, who was looking stunning in the blue dress. The pastel blue dress was completing her fair complexion, making her look as delicate as porcelain.

Xu Nuan caught him staring at her and chuckled, " Stop looking at me already. You\'re making me embarrassed." She said while putting a few strands of her hair behind the ear, embarrassedly.

" Drive properly," she said while pointing at the front.

He laughed seeing her getting embarrassed. 

He cleared his throat and said, " I don\'t know why Grandmother has called both of us home, but you don\'t need to worry about anything."

" Also, if you feel uncomfortable staying there, just give me a signal. We will leave immediately." 

She frowned at him, " Don\'t you dare do anything impulsive like last time. Do you know how embarrassed I am to face them after what you did last time?"

"We shouldn\'t have left the Mansion without having dinner that time. It\'s not good manners," she complained, upon remembering how he barged into the Mansion last time like an angry bird and complained about calling her so abruptly. 

At that time she had no relationship with him, but now she has. They can\'t be reckless like before. 

He looked at her and patted her head gently while holding the steering wheel with the other hand, " Seems like someone wants to impress her in-laws."

Her face flushed upon hearing his comment, " What in-laws? It\'s not like we\'re getting married." 

" We\'re not?" He asked while looking at her questioningly with a smirk. 

She pursed her lips and looked away, " Hmph, keep talking. I am taking a nap."

He chortled seeing her getting red and shook his head, " I am having a feeling as if I am going home for dinner with my fiancee. Oh wait, should I say...Future wife?" He teased her, using the same way that she used to call him future boyfriend, back then. 

However, she closed her eyes and shook her head to avoid his teasing. 

Why is he getting bold and bolder day by day?
