My Evil Genius Wife

Chapter 125: Marriage Contract?

Xu Nuan looked at him with her large curious eyes and blinked in confusion. She placed her coffee mug on the table and placed her hands on her lap politely and straightened her posture before asking, ” Then what do you want? I don’t have much money to offer since you didn’t give me much in the start anyway.” she stated.

The imaginary bubbles were forming in her mind as she was planning that he might ask something romantic just like in dramas. She pursed her lips to not show her bright smile which was forcing her lips to curve upwards, but she bit onto her lower lip to stop showing smiling like a stupid.

After all, she was making a business deal! She has to be serious.

Han Zihao didn’t say anything and just watched as she looked at him meaningfully. He could see that something fishy was going into her mind which made him more invested in her. He wanted to see what kind of idea she would come up with this time.

Xu Nuan placed the hair strands that were falling on her face on the back of her ear and said with a sneaky smile, ” Errm...I know what you want to say. If you want to know my answer, it’s yes. Yes, Mr. Han, you heard it right. I agree to sign the contract with you.” she said while smiling shyly.

“....”

” En?” Han Zihao was perplexed hearing her words. ” Contract? What contract?” he asked in a daze. He couldn’t think if he said anything about any contract or something.

.....

She blinked her eyes and said in confusion, ” Marriage contract? Or be my girlfriend kind of contract? Aren’t you planning to say something like that?” she asked seriously which caused him to look at her in a different light.

She is like an intelligent and career woman type but sometimes her IQ drops to the point where he can’t understand what she was really thinking. He pursed his lips and wondered if she was just joking or was being serious.

” You’re joking, right?” he asked cautiously which made her chuckle.

” Of course I am. I am not that stupid to think something like this stupid, because I know that you don’t have ‘guts’ to propose something like that.” she said which caused his expressions to get twisted.

Xu Nuan avoided his gaze because she doesn’t want him to see through her mind that she was actually thinking about that stupid idea.

He scoffed in disbelief, seeing that she was provoking him.

” Do you want this card or not?” He threatened while stretching his hand to take the card back, but she acted fast and picked up the card from the table.

She smiled coquettishly while grasping the card and asked, ” Mr. Han, how can you take it back? It’s not good manners to take what you have given.” she laughed while looking at him with her glistening puppy eyes.

She doesn’t want to lose this chance because she knows that if she let go of this opportunity, the girls won’t be able to pull off the theme without the suitable outfits that she was expecting for them.

” So what were you saying earlier? What do you want in exchange?” she asked while looking at him expectantly. She was thinking that at least this time he might make some romantic comment but....when he spoke, her hopes were crushed into pieces.

Han Zihao stared at her seriously while tapping his fingers on the hand rest of the couch and said, ” After dinner, you should do the dishes daily. I don’t like to do dishes and it’s too tiring to wash them after cooking.”

” I can cook dinner but in return, you should do the dishes,” he said while looking at her seriously as if he was talking about some important deal.

“....”

Xu Nuan was speechless as she stared at him with her widened eyes, ” That’s it? So in exchange for this business card and free costumes, you just want me to...do the dishes...daily?” she stuttered while speaking as she was thinking about what he said was a ridiculous joke.

He nodded seriously, causing her to look at him in disbelief. She didn’t know if she should be thankful or be worried about his EQ. She was glad that he was doing something for her but rather than taking the opportunity and proposing to do something racy, he acted like a good boy, asking her to do dishes.

That’s the problem when she decided to chase him. He is too good for his own good.

‘ Control Xu Nuan control, you can’t jump on him. Wait. Patience is the key to a healthy relationship.’ She repeated this in her mind and took a deep breath, trying not to show her disappointment.

‘ Healthy my foot! If this continues we won’t be able to get into a relationship with his self-control.’ she scoffed.

” Well, if that’s what you want, then fine. Thanks for your generosity!” she said plainly while showing him a fake smile. ‘ It would have been better if you had taken the advantage of this opportunity, you fool.’ she pursed her lips and stopped herself from saying it aloud.

She looked at the card once again and sighed in relief that her biggest problem got resolved. She stood up and said, ” It’s late now. I should get going.” she said and walked passed by him, however, she squealed in surprise when he suddenly held her wrist and pulled her back, causing her to look at him.

” Where are you going? You should do the dishes before leaving.”

“....”

She got surprised when he suddenly pulled her back and her heart started thumping loudly but his words caused her expressions to turn sour....again.

‘ That’s why he was single all these years. It’s not that he couldn’t forget me, it’s because he can’t find a girl with this kind of personality.’ she scoffed thinking about why she likes him. In truth, she was not sure why she likes him, she just...do.

–

On the day of the shoot, Xu Nuan was standing beside the director and watched the girls performing through the screen. A satisfied smile spread across her lips seeing their performance.

For the choreography, she was the one who set it while Pan Lan and Sun Ya also added more moves into it. And for the debut track, it was written by the girls and she just fixed it from here and there.

In short, even though it’s their debut performance, they have given their best and have done the things that many artists don’t do in their long-standing careers. On top of that, the stylist recommended by Han Zihao arranged the costumes for them in a limited time according to their requirements and they turned out so well.

The concept of their song was powerful and has a girl crush kind of feel and for that, they are using two sets of outfits, all black and white to show the contrast of their personalities. The kind of concept which was in her mind all along was now in front of her visually and the powerful, strong expressions that the girls were showing, shocked her.

She was surprised to see Sun Ya who has a bright, baby-like personality showed a fatal charm on the screen. Similarly, Song Ai and Pan Lan were expressive than others usually but she got to see more powerful and different sides of them today.

However, her mouth was left open in shock when Lai Yi leaned into the camera and smirked. It was not in the choreography nor it was arranged beforehand but it was her improvisation which shocked her. Her expressions...at that moment she didn’t look like a quiet girl that she usually is but a powerful girl with fire energy in herself.

” Waah! I can’t believe that this girl is the youngest of all.” The director exclaimed in surprise at Lai Yi’s shot. ????????????r????????????. ????????????

Before shooting he was not expecting much from them since they are going to debut and knowing that their budget is quite low, he was not so fond of working with them. He was just working them for the sake of his old relationship with Lin Hui.

The girls looked nervous before starting the shoot but once the camera started rolling, their persona changed as if they were possessed. Their expressions and the gaze in the eyes changed as if he met someone else a while ago.

” I think these girls are gonna make it big in the future.” The director commented while looking at the screen in awe. They were halfway to the first shot and everything was going smoothly. He leaned back on the chair, putting his hands under his head as he became relaxed.

” Seems like we could go home early today,” he said, making Xu Nuan chuckle.

Xu Nuan looked at the girls dreamily and felt something whirling inside her. She doesn’t want to experience the tiring life of stardom again...but seeing them performing as a group, enjoying their time together makes her a little upset.

The future she had planned with her group members....it didn’t turn out that way. Her eyes started watered as she watched them laughing and playing with each other during the break time.

She always knew that she loved music and still does but she never thought that she loved her members even more.
