My Evil Genius Wife

Chapter 299 - It Tastes Better!!

Xu Nuan was sitting on the couch with the laptop in her lap and was immersed in her work. She was wearing a black t-shirt dress that was reaching to her thighs and was wearing shorts underneath. She had tied her hair in a messy bun that was making her look clumsily attractive. 

Han Zihao was in the kitchen and was preparing dinner for both of them. After the dishes were done, he arranged the dishes on the table. He glanced at her and saw that she was still working. 

He looked at the time on the wall clock and realized that it was already past 10. 

He sighed. She is working without taking a break. She didn't even go to college today and was at work the whole day. She not only came late but also working even after she got off work. 

" No work for now. Come and have dinner." He said sternly while closing her laptop. 

She frowned. " But I still have a lot to do. I have to finalize things for tomorrow." 

Seeing her whining, he pursed his lips and said, " Didn't you tell the girls to stop practicing and rest? Then why are you working without taking a break?"

" Do you want to fall sick on such an important day? Huh?" He told her off firmly. Her body is already weak and she gets sick easily yet she is working like a robot, without any break. 

Upon hearing his words, she pursed her lips. He is right. She can't dare to get sick tomorrow. 

Because tomorrow is D-Day.

Tomorrow is the day when girls are going to perform at the Jade awards ceremony for the first time. However, it won't be their last. These girls are made to shine and they will shine no matter where they are and under whom they are. 

It is a special day for not only the girls but for her as well. Because after tomorrow, she will resign from the company. It's been two months since she has discussed it with Han Zihao and was waiting for this day to come to finally leave the company. 

Because she doesn't want to leave the girls in the middle. She wanted to be with them in their most special moment. 

Although there is not much time left when their contracts will expire; hardly 2-3 months at max. However, she doesn't want to wait for that long. The more she will stay with the girls, the more difficult it will get to part ways with them.

At the dinner table, 

Xu Nuan frowned when Han Zihao placed a bunch of stirred veggies in her bowl, " Don't eat meat only. Have some veggies too."

" Am I a kid that you're putting vegetables here? Don't treat me like a kid." She pouted and started to remove the veggies from her bowl. 

He chuckled seeing her picking out the vegetables again and blocked her chopsticks, " You're right. You're not a kid, because children these days are less pickier than you are. How come you always remove vegetables while eating?" 

She frowned. She hates vegetables and he keeps feeding her vegetables. " I have eaten enough in my last life. You know, there was a time when I used to eat vegetables and salads only when I used to diet." 

" I have already eaten a lot of veggies in my past life that I don't need to eat anymore." 

He was speechless seeing the way she was making weird excuses. She sure knows how to change topics. 

" Instead, You should eat more vegetables and fruits. I have heard that eating more vegetables and fruits makes it taste a lot better," she said while shoving rice in her mouth. 

" Taste better what?" he asks in confusion. 

"..."

She paused in action and stared at him in a daze. ' What the hell did I just say?' She swallowed the food in her mouth with much difficulty and avoided his curious gaze. 

' It's great that he is dense in such things. Otherwise, it would have been so embarrassing.' she sighed in relief. 

" AH, I meant that eating more fruits and vegetables will make you healthier. That's what I meant. Nothing is more important to me than your good health." she smiled while hiding the embarrassment at her shamelessness. 

Han Zihao stared at her and seeing her crimson ears he could feel that she was flustered at her own words. He chuckled and put vegetables in his bowl to eat too, " Xu Nuan, do you know that you were using my phone yesterday?"

She looked at him in confusion, not knowing what he meant. " Hmm? Can't I use your phone?"

He smiled and shook his head, " I am just saying that the articles that you have read, I have seen them too. And don't you worry, I will eat more fruits and vegetables from now on if that's what you want." He said with a sly smirk that made her go red in embarrassment. 

" I should do all the effort to make it tastier for you. Also, don't forget to write down your analysis on it after you're done with this experiment of yours." He said indifferently and made her choke on the food that she was eating. 

She coughed violently and kicked him on the calves under the table, " Stop talking, or else…"

" Or else what? Are you going to kiss me while eating? Well, I don't mind. I like trying new things." He said, leaving her dumbfounded at his bold words. 

He is not the same Mr. innocent for sure. Rather than getting flustered at her bold comments, he is now getting even more shameless to the point that she feels intimidated by him. 

"Shut up!!" she kicked up him again and looked away embarrassedly to away his seducing eyes.

The next day- D DAY!!

After the never-ending interviews and the ceremonial entry on the red carpet, Xu Nuan led the girls to the green room. Since they're going to perform on the stage today, a separate green room has been arranged for them backstage. 

They already did their final rehearsal yesterday and today is D-Day. The award ceremony is going to be broadcast live and it will be the first time that they're going to perform in front of so many people. 

They have performed live on many music shows but it will be their first-ever award ceremony performance where not only the fans but also the fellow artists and celebrities will be present.

Xu Nuan was sitting on a chair and was waiting for the girls to be done with their makeup when she saw Song Ai, who was getting her makeup and was staring at the mirror sluggishly. Her complexion was turning pale and her hands were trembling out of nervousness. 

She sighed helplessly and said. " Song Ai, Relax. You have practiced hard. You won't make any mistakes today so just take a deep breath. No need to panic." 

Song Ai pursed her lips and turned to her, " But it's a live performance. Moreover, there will be hundreds of people in the audience."

" What if I slipped on the stage? Or I forgot my steps?" She gasped, "Or worse….I forgot the lyrics?"

" Or you cracked your voice while doing the high note?" Sun Ya added. 

Song Ai frowned and glared at her. " Are you making fun of me?"

Sun Ya raised her hands in defense immediately and shook her head in denial. " I cannot dare to do so."

After Song Ai turned to Xu Nuan again, she finally sighed in relief. She is scary. She wondered. 

Pan Lan, who was already done with her makeup and was waiting for them, chuckled, " Oi, Leader!! Stop overreacting. It's just a live performance. You're the eldest among us and yet you're the most nervous here."

" Yeah! We've been performing live for a few months now. There won't be any problem I guess." Sun Ya added to comfort Song Ai but she was already done with them. 

Song Ai glared at Pan Lan and scoffed, " You're saying that I am overreacting? Then who was the one practicing her verses even in her sleep? Because of you, I couldn't even sleep soundly."

"And Sun Ya, You!! Who was the one crying a while ago because she was nervous to perform on the stage? Huh?"

" And Lai Yi, You!!" She turned to Lai Yi who was getting her hair done and was munching on the chips while doing so. 

Lai Yi looked at her and blinked, " What?"

Song Ai pursed her lips, realizing that she doesn't have anything on Lai Yi. She cleared her throat and said, " Well, this look suits you."

Xu Nuan chuckled seeing Song Ai malfunctioning in front of Lai Yi.

But she was not surprised when Song Ai revealed everyone's secrets one by one. She is the leader of the group, after all, she knows about everyone better than her.

" You guys don't need to be nervous. Even if you make a mistake, just continue with the performance and enjoy it, just how you guys do it while practicing."

" The key is enjoying the performance. Because this moment will not come back, so make the best out of it."

" You will perform at many award ceremonies in the future, but it won't be the same next time. It's your first time performing on a big stage so give it your best and enjoy it. Okay?" 

Everyone looked at Xu Nuan and smiled. She is always there to hype them up, even though she is younger than them, she doesn't feel like one. 

" Xu Nuan, you're the best." Song Ai said and stood up to hug her. " I don't know what I will do without you."

" You don't need to do anything without her because she will be by our sides forever. Right, Xu Nuan?" Sun Ya asked with a smile. 

Xu Nuan let Song Ai hug her but didn't say anything. What can she say anyway?
