My Evil Genius Wife

Chapter 121 - The Knights!

After returning from Xu Nuan's place, Han Zihao couldn't help but think about the events of the day. When Su Xinyue appeared at his office, badmouthing and complaining about Xu Nuan, he couldn't help but feel annoyed and frustrated at his mother's words. 

He has never reacted to her words whenever she tried to get in contact with him or said any unpleasant words in the past. However, today he couldn't control his anger and snapped back at her, leashing out the anger which was piling inside him. 

And the cause of this reaction was not because he had enough with his mother, it was because he couldn't bear to hear anyone talk trash about Xu Nuan. No matter how much he tries to distance himself from her, she always walks past that line and invades his peaceful life.

He lies on his bed while staring at the ceiling for a long time thinking about how his heart was beating fast thinking about watching that racy movie with her. He placed his hands behind his head and chuckled when he remembered how she stared at him with her large eyes after he mistakenly touched her. 

He turned around, lying on his side when he noticed the photo frame placed on the side table beside his bed in which Jiang Yue and he was playing in the playground when his father clicked this picture. 

His expressions darkened as he stared at the picture and felt a storm of emotions brewing inside him. He pursed his lips and stretched his hand, flipping the frame over as he doesn't want to see anything else right now. 

He closed his eyes and just as he was about to fall into a slumber, his phone buzzed. He frowned and opened his phone to check who messaged him at this time, " Mr. Han, sleep well and dream of me. - Your future wife, Xu Nuan." 

His lips curled in a smile seeing her message. He stared at the message as his hands automatically started typing, " You too, sleep well." He pursed his lips and struggled to send the message or not. 

His grip on the phone tightened as he stared at the message he typed. He took a deep breath and deleted the contents of the message just to type again, " Sleep!"

" Ah, I don't know anymore." he pressed the sent and placed the phone beside his pillow. 

-

Xu Nuan who was working on her laptop was surprised when her phone buzzed. She looked at Han Zihao's reply which made her eyes widen in surprise. She wasn't expecting him to respond to her message, like always but he did. Even if it is only a single word, she knows that it's a lot of progress for him.

" He is acting strange today," she murmured in a daze while staring at the message while a smile crept on her lips.

-

The next day, Xu Nuan dressed in a white blouse top and blue jeans while grabbing a scarf which she bought the other day while coming back from work. The weather was turning cold as winter was approaching and she doesn't even have any warm clothes. 

She looked into the mirror and sighed, " Seems like I need to shop again." The thought of spending money scared her. She was trying to save every penny of money since her job doesn't pay much and almost everything goes into the travel and food expenses. 

When she stepped out of the elevator on the ground floor, she saw a few men walking towards the elevator while carrying the large luggage boxes. She noticed their uniforms and she could see that they belong to a company that helps in moving the luggage and shifting the house. 

" Seems like someone is moving into the building," she murmured while walking out of the building. Her eyes widened seeing the large truck which was filled with the furniture and luggage boxes standing right outside the building. 

The amount of luggage and furniture shocked her as she felt envious of the person who is moving. When she moved here, she booked the already furnished unit which must have cost lots but there was no coziness and special touch to the home since everything was already set. 

But she stared at the furniture in the truck and also noticed another small truck in front which also had some furniture and luggage boxes as well. The couch, glass table, drawer cabinet, everything was made of high-quality material and it's the overall look was classy and artistic.

However, there was something strange about these furniture items. She pursed her lips and stared at the drawer cabinet and couch which looked strangely familiar to her. 

" Why does this look so familiar? Where have I seen them?" she frowned as she tried to remember where she has seen them but couldn't.

" Madam, please move aside." she was startled when a service guy asked her to excuse and she hurriedly stepped aside. She felt that she was blocking their way and disturbing their work, so she eventually left, not knowing where she has seen those items.

Xu Nuan was sitting with the girls in a cafe opposite the company, and was holding onto her hot latte as she looked at them and said, " So you guys are finally going to shoot the MV in two days." 

She has contacted the director that Lin Hui has recommended and thankfully he agreed to help them and direct the MV for them, that too while taking only 4% of the profits. He was one of the best directors but since he has not worked with many popular groups so he was not that popular. But she prefers work and talent more than popularity, so that was perfect for her. Moreover, he didn't take many shares and was technically working for free since no one was expecting much since the girls are just going to debut and 4-5% of the profits is relatively very low for their payments

Fortunately, the director had a set in mind that was used for a movie scene but did not come in use due to some unforeseen concerns, and fortunately, they got permission to use the ready-made set which saved a lot of their time and money. 

Xu Nuan placed the cup on the table and leaned forward while looking at them, " Since the debut date is getting closer, it's time that we should decide on the group name. As you know, Wang Meili's group has already decided on one, " Pretty girls". It's our time for us to decide on one."

" The group name has to be something catchy and which describes your character the best. Any suggestions?" 

The girls fell in deep thoughts as they glanced at each other, wondering if anyone had any ideas.

" How about ' 4 Divas?" Song Yi said with her glistening, clear eyes. 

Xu Nuan pursed her lips hearing her suggestion and before she could say something, she heard the other girls shouting in unison, " NO! It's so cringey."

"Oh." Song Ai pouted after her brilliant idea got rejected. 

Xu Nuan chuckled as she could see their chaotic energy and chemistry with each other. 

" What about ' Powerful Princess'?" Pan Lan suggested and ended up receiving a similar kind of reaction just like Song Ai did. 

Xu Nuan pursed her lips and tapped her fingers on the table while thinking about it. After a few minutes, she raised her head and said, " How about…." The Knights?"

"...."

The girls looked at each other in puzzlement, " The knights?" they looked at her in confusion why she chose only this name. 

" Hmm. The position of the knights was considered as the honorable title which was given by the head of the state or monarch, especially in the military. The knights were responsible to protect the citizens and the head of the state and were taken as very respectable and heroic." she explained. 

" Similarly, you guys have powerful vocals, a brilliant rapper, and are great performers. Against the conception the idols can't sing, you will prove them wrong with your powerpack vocals and performance and will restore the image of the idols. You will be the knights of the music, how does that sound?" she looked at them anticipatingly, waiting for their response. 

The girls looked at each other and it does sound reasonable. It not only has a strong meaning but the name was different from other groups and will make them stand out. They looked at Xu Nuan in awe as she surprised them once again with her witty ideas. 

Song Ai pursed her lips and questioned, " But doesn't it sound like a Boy group name? I mean it's quite masculine. Will people like a girl group with a masculine name?"

Everyone thought that it was quite a reasonable question and waited for XU Nuan to answer. 

" That's what will make you stand out. What we want is to stand out. You guys don't need to follow the general norms of the industry, being different is more popular these days." she said which left them in awe once again. 

" So it's decided. Our group's name is going to be 'The Knights'. Any objections?" 

" No!! We love this name." the girls responded in unison.
