My Evil Genius Wife

The next morning, 

Xu Nuan was sleeping when her phone suddenly started ringing. She didn\'t wake up when it rang for the first time, but when it started ringing for the second time, she couldn\'t ignore it. 

She groaned while tiredly raising her head to look for her phone, " Argh….who is calling early in the morning?" 

" Ah, my neck!" She cried in pain when her neck made a crack sound due to stiffness. She sat up straight and massaged her neck while looking for her phone through the mess around her. 

Last night, after completing the work, she fell asleep in the living room while checking for more issues that needed to be fixed in the security system of Gu enterprises. 

Along with the laptop and notebook on the table, coffee mugs and the empty chips packet were taking all the remaining space. 

She didn\'t sleep on the couch, instead, she slept in the sitting position, with her back and head against the couch for support. 

No doubt her neck and back pain was killing her!!

" Where is this damn phone?" She gritted her teeth and answered the phone in annoyance when she finally found it in the pile of trash of empty chips packets on the table. 

However, as soon as she picked up the call, she heard Grandfather Gu\'s beaming voice from the other side. 

" Xu Nuan, why weren\'t you picking the phone for so long? Are you at college?" He asked worriedly, remembering it\'s a weekday. Even though he was worried that he might have disturbed her, the excitement in his voice could be heard.

She frowned and glanced at the time. It was 9 am. 

She sighed since she was supposed to be in college at this time. Seems like she slept through the alarm and didn\'t even wake up to stop it. 

  But staying at home and catching up on her sleep is way better than attending the class, looking like a zombie.

Even though she missed her morning class, she still has other classes to attend. 

" No, I was not. I..just couldn\'t find my phone earlier. Did something good happen Grandpa?" She asked while feigning ignorance. 

She rubbed her swollen eyes that have dark circles underneath them now as she waited for his answer. 

Grandfather Gu glanced at Gu Zhang, who was sitting in front of him, and beamed in happiness while talking to her, " Of course. That\'s why I called you to share the good news with you."

"Xu Nuan, the new cybersecurity company that you had introduced to us, they solved the issue. Yes, they not only solved it but also added a few more things to strengthen our security system."

" Although it wasn\'t included in the project that was given to them, despite that, they not only did it but also didn\'t ask for extra money. We all were suspicious of that company at first since it\'s a new company but it exceeded our expectations."

Xu Nuan smiled upon hearing his excited words. Since Gu Enterprise is her company now in a way, she felt a responsibility towards it while dealing with the situation. So she added a few more things that can be done in a short time to strengthen the security wall while she was dealing with the malware. 

Even though she didn\'t ask for extra money, when she last checked the phone, she saw that Gu Zhang had sent more money than she had asked for. It was for the extra work she has done. 

She wasn\'t expecting that from him but she was glad that at least he knows how to keep things equal in business. 

"Everyone is praising that company\'s work competence and how your suggestion saved the company." Grandfather Gu couldn\'t help but feel the pride that it was because of Xu Nuan that their company got out of this situation. 

Xu Nuan smiled as she could feel how happy he was. Unlike yesterday, his voice was beaming and was loud enough to be heard from afar. 

" That\'s good to hear. I am glad that I could help the company in any way," she replied. 

Although she is the person who is running that amazing company, she is not gonna say that right now. Otherwise, all the praises will go down to the gutter and she will be labeled as a selfish and greedy daughter for earning from her family business. 

It was right for her to take the money in exchange for her services but she knows that she will get those comments if she said it to anyone at this moment.

After hanging up the phone, she got ready for college. She was wearing a pastel green dress with polka dots that reached to her thighs and slipped in her brown sandals before picking up her tote bag.

After checking herself in the mirror for the last time, she left the house. However, as soon as she stepped out of the house, she was surprised to see a large white-colored box with a pink-knot ribbon on the top. 

She squatted on the ground to look at the box and raised her brows to see the chit on the top of the box. She plucked the card that read, [ Leaving early for the meeting - Han Zihao! ]

She chuckled seeing how he had added his name in the end. If he hadn\'t done that, she would have known that it was him who had put the box in front of her house. 

It\'s not that he was doing this for the first time. 

She opened the box and was surprised to see a bento box in it. It also had a card stick on it that read, [Since you didn\'t eat the dinner last night, have this for breakfast. Don\'t starve yourself.]

\' How can he be so romantic?\' she pursed her lips and wondered if it is right for her to accept all this. 

She doesn\'t do much for him but he always does something that can make her fall deeper and deeper for him. 

Before she got over this surprise, her eyes fell on the small box next to it. 

When she opened the box, there was a car key in it. Car key? Why is it here?

Before she could think more about it, she found another card underneath the box, [Take the car to the college, don\'t use the subway anymore. ]

She was speechless to receive this kind of pleasant surprise in the morning. She didn\'t even realize that she missed her dinner last night and hadn\'t eaten anything since yesterday afternoon since she drank a lot of coffee while doing the work. 

He is worried about her more than she, herself. 

She picked up the box and took it inside the house. She put the bento box in her bag and took the car keys with her before leaving the house. 

" I am gonna eat this in college and burn the other girls." She was standing in the elevator and giggled while admiring her cute lunch box that was in her bag while waiting for the elevator to reach the ground floor.

Starlight Hotel, 

Jia Fei held onto Luo Dan\'s hand as she pulled her inside the hotel. " Luo Luo, it\'s been months since we have eaten outside. Aren\'t you sick of eating the food from our cafe daily?" 

After Jiang Yue\'s death, it was the first time that they came out to have some fun. After what happened the other day with Lin Hui, Jia Fei was quite frustrated for still having such strong feelings against him. 

He rejected her, yet she shamelessly went to pick him up without any second thought. The next day, he said thanks for helping her the last night and went to his place. 

His attitude was nothing less than a friend towards her. He was not interested in her. Even when she said that Yuhan is her close friend, he simply said \'Okay\'. 

She was expecting to see a bit of reaction on his face but there was no effect on him. 

To freshen up her mind, she decided to go shopping with Luo Dan and have a sumptuous meal to forget about all those things. 

Eating is better than crying for unrequited love. 

Luo Dan, who was forced to tag along with her, raised her brows at her and frowned, " It\'s my cafe. You\'re the one who thinks that it\'s yours. I don\'t understand why you stay at my cafe more than me?" She said grumpily. 

She wanted to clean the house and needed to do laundry as well. But she ruined all of her plans. 

Such a waste. 

Unlike others, Luo Dan is the only one who finds fun in cleaning and doing the household chores. She can\'t sit straight for a moment. She needs something to do, otherwise, it will feel so empty and frustrating. 

Jia Fei looked at Luo Dan in horror, " Haww!! How rude, Luo Luo. I am your housemate plus, the investor of the cafe."

" So the cafe is mine too. Don\'t act so cocky just because it\'s your name on the lease agreement." Jia Fei responded shamefully before pulling a chair for her and sat opposite Luo Dan.
