My Evil Genius Wife

She was busy on a phone call, confirming the schedule of the shoot with the assistant of the director when she heard a knock on the door. "Come in," she said without raising her head to look at who it is. 

Wang Meili looked around upon entering the small-cramped office and saw at Xu Nuan whose hair was now a mess, her face turned pale and she looked extremely tired. She wasn\'t even looking at her as she was busy on another call and was looking down at a file in her hand. 

After Xu Nuan hung up the call, she was surprised to see Wang Meili sitting on a chair opposite to hers. She sat back comfortably with her one leg over another as she stared at Wang Meili in wonder, " Look, who we have here? Ms. Wang, can I ask how I managed to capture your attention today?" she asked sarcastically while smiling at her. 

Wang Meili raised her brows seeing her irritating, arrogant expressions. She scoffed and said, " Of course I have to come. Your group is gonna debut at the same time as mine, it means, they will have to compete against each other despite being from the same company. However, being the head manager of the company it\'s my responsibility to see how your progress is going on. After all, you don\'t even have any qualifications or experience with you. It must be hard, isn\'t it?" she smirked while folding her hands against her chest. 

Xu Nuan closed the file which was in her hand and placed it on the side, and smirked, " Oh really? I am glad that you still remembered that our groups are gonna debut at the same time and \'belong to the same company\'. Because my girls and I were working all alone all this while, with the limited budget that we have since you have prohibited everyone to work with us. Even though they belong to the same company, they weren\'t treated equally." she said.

" Of course, they aren\'t. Don\'t forget that your group is not the permanent one while \'Pretty girls\' has signed the contract for 7 years with us. Your girls are going to debut temporarily, merely for a year, only because of your whim. That\'s why they had a year contract only, if they didn\'t manage to prove themself with this comeback, they are going to be disbanded very next year."

" And with Pretty Girls debuting at the same time, it\'s impossible for your group to win any shows for this comeback because we are gonna win all of the music shows." Wang Meili said confidently while looking at her provocatively. 

Xu Nuan stared at her for a few moments, without saying anything, and chuckled, " Really? Seems like you have already predicted the future. Well, it\'s good that you\'re being so confident, but Ms. Wang, being overconfident can lead you to face a very bad fall. I hope you won\'t come to me crying and blaming that I didn\'t warn you before."

" Don\'t forget to apologize to my girls and me in front of everyone if they manage to get into top 50 for this comeback," she said while looking at her indifferently. 

" Hah!" Wang Meiling snickered hearing her words and said, " Xu Nuan, you are expecting your girls to get into the top 50 only? Your standards are too low. Well, it seems like you know your position very well." she laughed seeing that even Xu Nuan doesn\'t have confidence in her group. 

Xu Nuan smiled softly and said, " I have confidence in my girls, but I don\'t believe in setting higher expectations like you do because the time will reveal everything. I just want to enjoy the pleasure of being surprised by the result of my efforts when it exceeds my expectations. I am confident about myself but not overconfident like you are.." she smiled and raised brows at Wang Meiling which caused her expressions to twist hearing her words. 

Wang Meili gritted her teeth seeing her confident arrogant attitude. No one has ever made her feel like this before. She has no qualifications nor any experience yet her attitude always screams the aura that caused her to take a step back in front of her. 

\'Since she can\'t win in terms of competence, she is trying to play with words? Hah! Very well. I will also see her after the results.\'

" Okay then. But if \'Pretty Girls\' entered into the \'top 20\' for the music chart while your group could not achieve the goal to enter into the top 50, you will have to leave the company after apologizing to me in front of everyone on your knees. Okay?" she said as if she was being generous. 

Xu Nuan smirked hearing Wang Meiling betting on the top 20 for her group. She was sure that she wanted to make it top 10 but tone it down to top 20. She doesn\'t know the future and didn\'t hear their song, but she was not sure if Wang Meili will ever get to see her on her knees. 

Xu Nuan snickered and nodded, " Then that\'s final then. If we don\'t manage to get the desired ranks on the music chart after 24 hours, we will both apologize to each other and I will leave the company as you said, okay?" 

" Cool!" Wang Meili said and left the office, without turning around even for the last time. she was pleased with the conversation that she had with Xu Nuan. With this, she doesn\'t even need to wait for a year to kick her out of the company.

At night, Xu Nuan got off work quite late and checked the time when she was in the elevator. It was already past 10. She sighed and placed a hand on her stomach which was growling as if she was growing a monster inside her. 

She pouted while rubbing her stomach and got off when she reached her floor. She walked to her unit and was about to punch the password, when the door opposite her, pushed open startling her. 

"Ahh!!" she screamed as she got shocked when Han Zihao suddenly opened the door. She looked at him with her eyes widened in horror.

" You\'re back?" He asked casually, ignoring her shocking expressions. 

She placed a hand over her chest and sighed in relief, " Ah, you scared me! Can\'t you just make a noise before opening the door?"

"....."

" How can I make a sound before opening the door? And why do I do that?" he asked, not understanding the logic behind her words. She was the one who got scared for no reason but here she was the one getting angry at him.

" You can at least knock before opening, or at least say, \'I am opening the door\' before actually opening. Do you know a person\'s lifespan reduces 4 days when they get startled like this?" she said while looking at him as if she was talking about something serious. She doesn\'t want to decrease her life span because of these petty startles that she gets from him.

"....."

Han Zihao was speechless hearing her \'informative words\'. " And you read all of this on the internet right?" he asked while looking at her with his brows knitted.

She nodded firmly and said while looking confident, " Of course, it\'s amazing, isn\'t it?"

He scoffed and wondered, \' Is she innocent or just ignorant?\' If he remembered correctly, she had talked about this before as well. She brings out the weird facts that she reads on the internet and argues with him using baseless information.

He shook his head and said, " Come in, you haven\'t had dinner right?" he asked while looking at her with concern. Her face looked pale and tired.

Her eyes lit up hearing his words, and stared at him with a bright smile, " You prepared dinner for me? Aww...I didn\'t know that Mr. Han can be so romantic." she said while looking at him dreamily.

He pursed his lips upon hearing her words and said, " No! I made dinner for myself but I accidentally made a lot. I don\'t want to throw it, so giving you is the best option." he lied while avoiding her eager gaze. 

After he came from the office, he prepared dinner for both of them and was waiting for her, but she didn\'t come on time. He was waiting for her to arrive for almost an hour. He wanted to call her and ask about her whereabouts but he ended up waiting for so long while hesitating to call or not. 

He also doesn\'t know why he cooked her portion as well, but he hates to admit that he cooked it for her. 

Xu Nuan tsked at his weak excuse and said, " Sure, Sure. I will treat my stomach like a garbage can and throw the food inside me." she commented while pushing him to the side and entered the house, leaving him shocked at her comment.
