My Evil Genius Wife

Chapter 486 - 486 You knew?

486 You knew?

” Xu Nuan!” Han Zihao shouted as he pushed open the door of the office and walked towards Xu Nuan’s working desk in long strides. ” Why didn’t you pick up my calls? Do you know how worried I was?” He asked as he stopped in front of Xu Nuan, ignoring the existence of two other shocked ladies in the room.

Xu Nuan raised her brows in surprise to see Han Zihao who came to her office. His forehead was covered in sweat and he wasn’t even wearing his overcoat.

Was he so worried about her that he forgot to wear his overcoat?

“Ah? You came here to my office just because I didn’t answer your calls?” She asked in confusion.

Seeing him not responding to her question and looking at her with a serious expression, she immediately answered his questions. ” My phone was on silent and I placed it in my drawer when I arrived at the office. That’s how I missed calls and saw them late.”

” I was about to call you back when these two people came to my office. I was planning to call you after talking with them.” She explained to ease his mind.

Luo Dan and Jia Fei grew flustered when Xu Nuan suddenly put them in a spot by putting half of the blame on them. They looked at Han Zihao hesitantly, feeling guilty for no reason.

They came to console Yang Ning because of what happened to her family. However, they weren’t expecting Xu Nuan to react in such a mysterious way.

How can he be so cool about it?

.....

Han Zihao didn’t say anything but his eyes were fixated on Xu Nuan as he tried to understand her feelings.

” Why did you come to the office when I asked you to stay at home and take a rest? Do you know how worried I was when I couldn’t find you at home?” He asked her after catching his breath and looked at her seriously as he waited for her answer.

Before leaving for work, he asked her to not go to the company today as he was aware of what Grandfather Jiang was planning to do during the emergency board meeting.

He was the one who helped him with all the evidence after all.

He was also aware that things are going to get big afterward and wanted her to stay at home and rest.

Since he failed to find the right timing to tell her the truth, he was planning to tell her everything before the news was released about the whole incident.

At that time, Xu Nuan also agreed to him and told him that she will stay at home and will not go to the come. He was assured to know that Xu Nuan will be staying at home to rest.

After making sure that everything is proceeding according to the plan at Jiang Corporations and Grandfather Jiang can manage all the things without needing his extra assistance, he went back home to come clean with Xu Nuan.

Although he was worried that she might panic too much and take so much stress regarding this news, it was still better that he tell her the truth than her finding out about it through the media tabloids.

However, when he reached home, he couldn’t find her anywhere. While he was panicking about where she did she go, he saw her sticky note on the glass table, saying that she was going to the company for a meeting.

Since then he has been trying to call her and reach her, but she didn’t respond to his calls or countless text messages.

Only he knows how worried he was when he couldn’t find her or reach her.

Xu Nuan pursed her lips when Han Zihao questioned her. More like anger, she could see the obvious panic and anxiety in his question.

It was the first time when she had seen her looking at her so worriedly.

Although he tenses up easily when it comes to her health or safety, it was her first time seeing him getting angry at her for such a matter.

He must have been so scared when he couldn’t find her at the house. Thinking about it, she could understand the way he reacted and kept her cool.

“Hah! This guy is going overboard now. Why is he getting angry at her when…” Jia Fei scoffed in disbelief and frowned when Han Zihao interrogated Xu Nuan.

It was such big news for her family. If he was worried about her, he could have shown his worry more subtly.

Why is he interrogating her like a prisoner on such a day?

Jia Fei was getting ready to argue with him regarding his behavior towards Xu Nuan.

However, before she could voice out her opinion regarding his inconsiderate behavior towards Xu Nuan, Luo Dan forcefully covered Jia Fei’s mouth with her palm and shut her up immediately.

She apologized to Han Zihao for Jia Fei’s rude reaction before dragging her out of the office room to give them some privacy and let them talk to each other.

After Jia Fei and Lou Dan excused themselves and went outside the office, Han Zihao took a seat opposite hers and asked worriedly, “Did you see the news? Are you alright?”

Xu Nuan looked at him coolly just as she responded to Luo Dan and Jia Fei. She nodded calmly and said, ” I am. As you can see, I am perfectly alright. So stop looking at me with such a pitiful gaze in his eyes.”

” It’s making me feel even more pitiful.” She laughed bitterly. “However, It was still better than staying in the dark forever and not knowing the truth.” She said as she avoided his gaze to hide her teary eyes.

She doesn’t feel bad for herself because thanks to that accident, she got to meet Han Zihao again and enjoy the feeling of being loved and cared for.

However, the truth behind her parents’ accident was more of a shock for her. All these years, she blamed herself for killing them.

If they weren’t coming to the school to pick her up, they wouldn’t have gotten into an accident while driving in the rain. However, in reality, if it wouldn’t be raining that day, they would have gotten into an accident anyway.

Because Jiang Yahui was the one who planned all of this. He wanted them to be gone.

Not only that, Grandfather Jiang must have been suffering the most during the painful revelation. Because in the end, he lost both of his sons and Granddaughters and was left behind alone in the world.

Han Zihao noticed the way she was avoiding his gaze and stood up from his seat. He walked towards her side and pulled her in his embrace for a warm hug.

Xu Nuan was surprised when he suddenly approached her and pulled her in for a hug. He was standing in front of her and urged her to wrap her hands around his waist for a standing waist hug.

She pursed her lips but eventually did as he asked her to do. She wrapped her hands around his waist and rested her head against his stomach.

As soon as she rested her head against him, tears that she was holding onto started to roll down her cheeks one by one, causing her to burst into tears.

Han Zihao didn’t say anything and patted her back while she cried to comfort her. He allowed her to relieve her frustration by crying.

She needed this cry to loosen her tension and accept fate as it is.

No one can turn around the things that have already occurred. Punishing Jiang Yahui and Jiang Ru wouldn’t give her any happiness either.

Because punishing them doesn’t mean that the dead person could come to life.

However, it will at least give her relief that the people who killed her parents are finally getting what they sowed in the beginning.

After Xu Nuan was done crying, Han Zihao escorted her to the couch in the office and helped her to sit down.

He even gave her a bunch of tissues to wipe her face and smudged makeup.

After she drank a glass of water to calm down, Han Zihao looked at her seriously and asked once again, ” Can I ask you something?”

“What is it?” She asked while sipping on water while dabbing her wet eyes with dry tissue paper.

“When did you find out about it?” He asked her.

“AH? What…do you mean?” Xu Nuan was flustered when he suddenly threw an unexpected question at her.

” When did you find out about it? Because I am sure you weren’t seeing this news for the first time.”

“Otherwise, you wouldn’t have reacted in such a calm manner the way you did today.” Han Zihao said and put his doubt in front of him.

Xu Nuan smiled bitterly and remarked in response to his question, ” Why are you working as a businessman? You should have become a profiler.”

“You’re right. I was aware of everything in advance. However, it was all your fault.” She said, putting all the responsibilities on him.

“My fault? How?”
