My Evil Genius Wife

Han Zihao who was holding the phone right now, pursed his lips when he heard Xu Nuan's teasing words. He was worried that something might have happened at the banquet and adding to the trouble, Zhu Ai was also there.

He was feeling a little uncomfortable thinking that she might have gotten into trouble because of him. After all, Zhu Ai is the girl whom his so-called mother had tried to fix him with. He was earlier talking to one of his investors when Feng Sheng came and interrupted them. However, when he heard his words, his expressions turned darker when he found out that Zhu Ai and Xu Nuan are together and there seems to be a problem.

His worries subsided a bit when he heard her voice. She doesn't look like she was wronged in any way. She is way more capable of making others feel wrong.

…..

" What happened?" He cut off her words and asked straightforwardly. 

Xu Nuan smirked at Zhu Ai and before she could say anything, Zhu Ai jumped in the conversation.

" Mr. Han, it's me Zhu Ai. The thing is, I don't want to disturb you but this stupid girl forced me into calling you. She insulted me in front of everyone and said that you're not my fiance. I told her that aunty has fixed us up but she didn't believe me and said that if I couldn't prove that I am your fiance, she would slap me 5 times in front of everyone." She said in a low voice, her tone became more aggrieved by the end.

The guests didn't find that she said anything wrong because everything she said, indeed happened. However, Xu Nuan couldn't help but stare at her in disbelief. How much more shameless she can be? 

She shook her head and didn't say anything and let her take over the stage.

Han Zihao who was silently listening to Zhu Ai's words frowned. He waited for her to speak but she didn't.

" What happened?" He asked again. 

Zhu Ai blinked and wondered if he didn't hear what she said. She walked to Xu Nuan and snatched the phone with a force, causing her to stagger a bit.

" Xu Nuan, careful." Yuhan who was standing behind her held onto her shoulders to balance her. 

Xingren glared at Xu Nuan with disgust seeing their interaction and waited for Zhu Ai to teach her a good lesson. 

" Mr. Han, I am saying that this girl, Xu Nuan, insulted me…." Zhu Ai started speaking again when she heard his words.

" Xu Nuan, I asked you what happened. Why aren't you saying anything? Are you a mute?" He felt irritated that she let Zhu Ai speak and didn't even say a word till now. Since when she became so docile?

Xu Nuan raised her brows as her lips curled up in a smile. She smirked at Zhu Ai before taking the phone from her hands, " You heard right. I did say that. So just tell everyone that are you and Ms. Zhu in a relationship or not?" She didn't try to explain anything and just asked him a simple question.

Grandfather Gu grew worried seeing that Xu Nuan didn't explain the situation. He was afraid that things might go wrong and she has to take slaps in front of everyone.

Han Zihao stayed silent for a few minutes. He pursed his lips and finally said, " Fiance? Am I engaged? To whom? Ms. Zhu, are you spreading the rumors that you and I are engaged? It was you who were trying to follow me everywhere when I told you that I am not interested in you." He said coldly shutting everyone's wild imaginations.

Zhu Ai's expressions turned pale hearing his words. How could he be so cruel to her? Xu Nuan has told him that everyone was listening, then how could he say something like this to her?

" But Mr. Han, your mother said that you will marry….." she stuttered as she tried to explain herself.

" I don't know what that woman said to you. The only thing I know is that I never did or said anything to give you the impression that I am interested in you. You know that very well. If you are spreading rumors even after that, then do you want me to publish this thing in the newspaper to clarify this matter?" 

Xu Nuan pursed her lips upon hearing his response. She never thought that he could be this cold to someone.

' The sweety she remembered from her childhood has become a cold devil, huh. Nice!'

' Wait. Was he only sweet to me even in the past?' she couldn't help but remember the time when they got into a fight with other children and he punched the other boy's nose, just because he grabbed her by the collar and pushed her. 

She nodded remembering that he was good at fighting since he was young. Yuhan was looking at her with interest land was slightly confused seeing the way she was smiling.

" No...No Mr. Han. Please don't….I am..sorry." Zhu Ai eventually apologized to him as she was afraid that he might publish this in the newspaper. He might not be a celebrity, but he is a star businessman. 

Not only his brother is a big star but his looks and charisma itself can get him the role of a male lead in a movie. His looks can fail any idol in front of him. If he said anything to the reporters, they will publish it on the front page, no matter how ridiculous and petty that issue might be.

Han Zihao didn't say anything after that but he didn't hang up the phone either. He glanced at Feng Sheng who was standing beside him and trying to gobble up the tiramisu without him noticing.

….

Xu Nuan cleared her throat and turned to Lin Ran, " So...Ms. Gu, now tell me, who is the bitch here? Did I try to seduce someone's fiance? Huh?" 

Lin Ran frowned and knitted her brows. She bit her lower lip and said, " It...it happens. How can I know that you didn't do anything? Even Zhu Ai was also innocent. It was all just a pure misunderstanding. Now, since this matter has been resolved, let's not dwell on it further." 

" Yes, Xu Nuan. It was all a misunderstanding. Now since everyone has been resolved, let's not push this matter further. This was Grandmother and Grandfather's banquet after all." Xingren added and tried to persuade her.

Xu Nuan chuckled seeing the way they all are trying to protect Zhu Ai. But if she would have proved wrong, then they will be the first one to beat her up. Now since things went wrong on their side, they were trying to force her into a corner.

" Oh really? Let it go? If I had been the one in Zhu Ai's situation, would you have said the same? No! You would have been the first one to slap me. Now the situation has taken a 180-degree turn, you want me to forgive her?"

Han Zihao's expressions darkened when he heard this. Slap? He wasn't aware of the conversation between them but hearing her words, he could understand what might have happened.

Xu Nuan stared at Xingren with her dark eyes. However, she suddenly felt a shrieking pain in her head. She gritted her teeth and closed her eyes for a moment.

Everything started to become blurry and her eyes became heavy. She frowned and mumbled, " No. Not yet...I haven't…" she was feeling dizzy and her legs started to feel weaker by every moment.

She was planning to give a good beating to Zhu Ai but this was something unexpected. She held onto her head and swayed a little and eventually her body swayed which was caught by a pair of strong arms.

" Xu Nuan, open your eyes. What happened? Hey! Are you okay? Hey?" Yuhan who was standing behind her caught her in his arms and looked at her worriedly.

Grandfather Gu was also shocked by seeing her condition. He moved forward and asked Yuhan to take her to the hospital. Zhu Ai was surprised but she sighed in relief. 

She carefully slipped away from the crowd seeing that everyone was busy looking at unconscious Xu Nuan. She was relieved that she fainted, otherwise she would have slapped her five times in front of everyone.

Yuhan picked her up in his arms and walked towards the exit. He stood in front of the elevator while carrying her in his arms, while the Grandfather Gu was standing beside him worriedly. Gu Zhang and others didn't follow then since guests were still in the party and they need to control the situation which has been ruined by Xu Nuan according to them. 

" Xu Nuan, Xu Nuan, ah, what happened to her? How can she faint all of a sudden?" Grandfather Gu asked Yuhan worriedly.

 Nua

" Grandfather don't worry. Everything will be fine." He replied while holding the unconscious Xu Nuan in his arms. 

"Ding"

The elevator finally arrived and the doors of it opened. 

" Ms. Gu?" Yuhan looked up when he heard a man calling Xu Nuan's name from the inside of the elevator.
