My Evil Genius Wife

Chapter 464: Family Dinner VI

” I am still not done yet. I have one more good news left to announce to everyone.” These words of Grandmother Han ignited everyone’s curiosity and they looked at her expectantly. Meanwhile, Han Zihao and Xu Nuan were confused about what Good news she was talking about.

Xu Nuan turned to Han Liang who was sitting at the corner of the table and looked at him suspiciously. She glared at him and wondered if the good news has something to do with him.

Han Liang was busy solving the cubic puzzle while watching the drama from the side when he noticed Xu Nuan’s doubtful eyes on him and rolled his eyes in disbelief.

Hah! How can she even think that he did something to Luo Dan which resulted in the ‘Good News?’

Well....he would love to. However, it’s not the correct time yet.

He and Luo Dan are in a happy relationship for a while and would love to take it to the next level, however, when he comes to her, he does not want to make haste decisions in their relationship or put any pressure on her for such things.

He wants to give some time to their relationship and wants to build a strong bond between the two. He likes to know more about her before indulging in an intimate relationship with her which will make their relationship even stronger.

.....

For now, they are happily enjoying their new-couple, awkward phase, and are satisfied with the slow process of their relationship.

This phase of a relationship has a charm of its own. The ritually exchange of messages between them before going to bed and waking up in the morning, escorting Luo Dan to her home from the cafe and now the Xu Nuan’s Company, kissing and hugging when they bid goodbye to each other, he never thought that such small things can make him feel so happy and fulfilled.

While Han Liang was sure that this ‘Good News’ has nothing to do with her, Xu Nuan was somewhat suspicious of him and couldn’t help but glance at him in between to confirm if it was him or not.

Grandmother Han looked at everyone with a proud smirk on her face and glanced at Han Zihao meaningfully before turning to Grandfather Gu and saying, ” Mr. Gu, as you are aware that Han Zihao and Xu Nuan are living together in his apartment for a while and now they are going to make a family of their own.”

” So I believe that as elders it is our responsibility to discuss the things that these kids are postponing for a while now. I invited you and Xu Nuan’s father because I wanted to discuss the wedding date of these kids.” Grandmother Han announced.

While talking to Grandfather Gu, she didn’t mention Lin Ran because after the toxic remarks she made earlier about her grandson, she doesn’t want to include her in anything.

If Han Zihao had not said anything to her, she would have given her a good lesson today so that she will never dare to interfere in the lives of Han Zihao and Xu Nuan.

“What? Mother, are you serious about it? Did you arrange this family dinner to talk about their wedding?” Han Jianghong, Han Zihao’s father was surprised when his mother announced such news in front of everyone.

Grandmother Han smiled to see everyone’s surprised reactions and nodded proudly. ” Of course. They are going to have a baby now. It’s high time that they get married to each other and give an official name to their relationship.”

“But...isn’t it too soon?” He hesitated when he noticed the surprised reaction of Han Zihao and Xu Nuan, who had no idea what was happening.

” What are you talking about? Mother is right. Xu Nuan is already three months pregnant and if we start to talk about preparing for their wedding, it will take some time to make it happen. We need to do it before she reaches the stage of heavy pregnancy.” Cheng Zixing supported Grandmother Han’s decision and was delighted upon hearing about this news.

Lin Ran, who just commented about Han Zihao not taking responsibility for Xu Nuan, suddenly felt as if Grandmother Han was doing all this to pour a glass of freezing cold water on her head and was trying to humiliate her by saying this now and not earlier when she informed them about her pregnancy.

She pursed her lips in embarrassment and couldn’t even utter a word when Gu Zhang passed her a glass of water and looked at her as if signaling her to keep her mouth shut in front of everyone.

He was aware that the Han family invited them out of formality and Xu Nuan will get married to Han Zihao sooner or later, even if they don’t agree to it. So rather than ruining the relationship between the two families, he wants to end all of this on a good note and not make any more trouble for Xu Nuan because they had never given her any happiness anyway.

After seeing how they ruined the life of a happy child like Xingren because of their greed to make her perfect and turned her into a monster, the way they discriminated between her and Xu Nuan, he realized that it was not the fault of Xingren or Xu Nuan hating them in the end.

It was their fault because they failed as their parents. They hurt both children, especially Xu Nuan who deserved all the love in the world but they never showed her any love and affection.

This was the last thing they could do for her as her parents.

Gu Zhang didn’t say anything and sat there while smiling through the whole discussion, while Grandfather Gu was elated when he heard the news and clapped his hands in excitement. ” You’re right. As elders, we should have been more thoughtful and should have discussed such things before.”

” However, it’s not too late either. We can start planning their wedding now. Ah! I cannot believe my little girl is going to marry the love of her life now.” Grandfather Gu said while looking at Xu Nuan emotionally and realized how fast this girl has grown up.

It was the moment when he felt that he never did anything for her and there were so many things that he wanted to do for her but now someone else will be by her side for the rest of her life and will be her partner in sadness and happiness.

“Absolutely! It’s not too late if we start now. I have even fixed the date of their wedding as well. If your family and the bride and groom agree to it, we could go with it and start preparing for it.” Grandmother Han excitedly explained her plan.

While everyone was excitedly discussing their wedding, Han Zihao glanced at Xu Nuan and noticed her sober expression. He pursed his lips and wondered if it was because everything was happening so soon and hurriedly.

She does not look happy about how things are going on.

He placed a hand over her thighs and gently caressed them under the table and whispered in her ears, ” If you don’t like it, I can tell them to stop everything.”

” We can think about it and will take our time to discuss our future. We don’t need to get married right away. I can wait for you until you’re ready. Okay, Love?”

Xu Nuan who was silent during the whole meeting and was looking down with her sober expression, her eyes welled up when he heard Han Zihao’s words.

Seeing her tearing up, Han Zihao was startled and wondered if she didn’t like all of it. He passed her a tissue and patted her back and said, ” It’s alright. You don’t need to cry about it.”

Grandmother Han was talking to Grandfather Gu about the marriage and was startled when Xu Nuan suddenly started to cry.

She looked at her worriedly and tried to console her. ” Xu Nuan, my darling. Why are you crying? Is it because of what I said?”

” If you think getting married right now is not an option, then don’t get married. I am not forcing you two. I just thought it would be better if both of you could settle down before the baby comes into this world.”

” I am sorry. I should have asked you about it before announcing this matter. Now...will you calm down? Huh?” Grandmother Han pulled Xu Nuan in her embrace and patted her back as if trying to pacify a crying toddler.

” Yes, Xu Nuan. We will not do anything if you don’t like it.” Cheng Zixing added while handing a handful of tissues for her to wipe her face.

” Hah! I knew it. So you were doing all of this without her knowing. Of course, she will cry like this.” Lin Ran scoffed to see Xu Nuan sobbing and remarked while taking a sip of her cold water.

Gu Zhang glared at her and was embarrassed by her snarky attitude. Does she need to say such a thing when Xu Nuan was crying?

While everyone was annoyed by Lin Ran’s behavior, Xu Nuan who was crying finally calmed down and sniffled before saying in a trembling voice ” It’s not like that. I’m just....so happy about it.” She said, causing everyone to look at her in confusion.

Everyone: “??”
