My Evil Genius Wife

Chapter 268 - What A Coincidence!

After parking her car in front of the lounge, Jia Fei gets out of the car and hurries inside. 

A while ago, she received a call from Lin Hui. However, the person speaking on the other side was not Lin Hui but the waiter who called her. He told her that the owner of the phone has drunk a lot and has passed out. 

Since she was the last caller on his phone, he dialed her number.

She was surprised to hear that Lin Hui has passed out from drinking. 

He doesn't have a good tolerance towards alcohol, that's why he doesn't drink much and knows his limit very well. 

Then how can be so reckless and drink so much that he passed out?

Worried that he might get in any trouble, she hurriedly picked up her car keys and left for the address that the waiter told her. 

-

The dimly lit lounge was filled with smoke and the smell of alcohol, which irritated her nose. She doesn't smoke since Jiang Yue never let any one of them do so. She was like a nosy mother to them, which they miss a lot. 

While rubbing her nose, she looked around and could see people laughing and chucking down the alcohol. Some were in groups while some people came alone, and were hitting on others. 

The jazzy music was being played in the background, which anyone barely cared for. They were too lost to enjoy the music. 

She scanned the dimly lit room as she searched for Lin Hui. Two people who were passing by her side halted in their steps and stared at her. 

Consciously, she reached out for her mask to cover her face. 

'Shit!!' She cursed inwardly when she realized that in a hurry to come over, she forgot to put on her mask and the cap. 

How can she be so careless?

Even though the group has been disbanded and she has been inactive for quite a while now, it didn't reduce her fame. She is still a well-known celebrity and the media won't hesitate to gossip about her if the word of her coming to the lounge at night was to be spread. 

She frowned at the two men and covered half of her face with her hair and the other with her palm. 

She gulped facing their intense gaze and got worried that they might recognize her. 

" Hey girl, are you alone? Do you want to come with us? We'll buy you a drink." One of the men asked while staring at her with his lustful gaze. 

Glad that they were too drunk to recognize her, she scoffed and lied, " Harassing a detective? You have quite some guts huh?"

The two men's eyes widened in shock upon hearing the word detective. They looked at each other in horror and mumbled before leaving, " Oh, sorry. We were looking for a friend. A friend." 

She scoffed to see the men hurrying away and tried to search for Lin Hui.

 While looking around, her eyes fell on the man who was sitting at the main counter and had his head down on the counter, passed out. 

She walked to him and sighed to see the trail of empty glasses next to him. How much did he drink exactly? 

His face had turned crimson from drinking and was mumbling something in his drunken state, " Jiang Yue, why can't you…"

" Jiang Yue…"

" Jiang…."

Her hands that were reaching out to him paused in the air upon hearing Jiang Yue's name. It's been months since she left but he is still lost in her memories. 

Did he drown himself in alcohol because of her?

Her eyes filled with sadness to see him in this vulnerable state. He still hasn't moved on from her. 

 Even though she is standing next to him, he can't notice her presence. She is invisible to him.

She took a deep breath and shook him lightly, " Lin Hui, Lin Hui. Get up, we need to leave."

" Lin Hui…" she sighed helplessly upon getting no response from him. He was totally out of it. 

She pursed her lips as she could feel people's eyes on her, watching her struggle to get him up. 

[Poor girl!! How can her boyfriend make her come to the lounge at night to pick him up?]

[ Is she some celebrity? She looks familiar.]

[ Is it? She does have a perfect body. Is she a model.]

She bit her lower lip upon hearing the low whispers around her. If she stayed here for a few more minutes, she is surely gonna get into trouble. 

" Lin Hui, wake up already." she cried out in desperation and shook him. 

She was wondering what to do when she felt a jacket falling over her head from behind. Startled, she turned around and found a familiar man standing behind her, smirking at her. 

" You!! Aren't you the same pitiful guy who was rejected the other day?" she asked in shock to see Yuhan standing there. 

Yuhan, who was wearing blue trousers and a white checked shirt, whose sleeves were folded, frowned at her. 

The smile on his face faded upon hearing her painfully straightforward words and scoffed, " What a unique way to say thanks."

-

He came to the lounge to drink with his clients and as they were discussing the business over a drink, he heard a dreadfully familiar voice. 

When he looked up, he found Jia Fei shaking Lin Hui, trying to wake him up. He pursed his lips as he looked around and found people looking at her curiously. Some were even trying to take pictures of her, wondering if she is a celebrity. 

Even though she was wearing casual denim jeans and a plain white top, she was attracting quite a lot of attraction. Not anyone can pull off this casual look and make it look classy. 

' Does she even care about her image?' He wondered. If someone took a picture of her, it's gonna be quite problematic for her reputation. 

-

The other day when he left the cafe, angry at how rude she was, he realized that the girl looked somewhat familiar. The same night when he was browsing his search feed on SNS, he found the photo of Jia Fei from a sportswear photoshoot. 

In the picture, she was wearing body-fit black leggings and a sports bra, showing off her perfectly toned body. His mouth fell in shock as he was not expecting her to be this famous. 

At that time he found out that she used to be a part of the girl group 'The Queens'. Since he also runs an entertainment company, he is well aware of 'The Queens' and the scandals surrounding them. 

It was the group that has outdone everyone in the industry and secured the top position. But due to the unfortunate conflicts, the group fell from the top position.

But he was surprised to find out that the rude girl from the cafe was none other than the charismatic rapper of 'The Queens'? 

But...what was she doing here? 

-

Jia Fei frowned at him and touched the blue jacket that he put on her head. She was about to pull it down when she heard him say, " Take it down if you want to hit the headlines tomorrow."

" Eh?"

" What are you doing here without a mask or a cap?" He leaned closer and asked in a low voice. How can she be so careless? He wondered. 

Jia Fei was surprised when he suddenly came close. She stared at him with her bright-large eyes and blinked. She looked around and saw people trying to take a picture of her. 

When his words registered in her head, she immediately covered her head with his coat. " Well, thanks," she said awkwardly. 

Saying thanks to someone takes a lot of courage for her. Especially when the person she owes thanks is the person she dislikes. 

Yuhan had his hands in his pocket as he looked at Lin Hui, who was sleeping on the counter and was reeking alcohol. 

He pointed at him with his eyes and asked, " Do you need any help?" 

Earlier she was struggling to wake up this person. He must be her boyfriend, that's why she took the risk to come to the lounge at midnight to pick him up. 

She looked at him and was surprised when he offered to help. Seems like he is not as bad as she had thought. 

-

" Here, Here." Jia Fei said as she led Yuhan to her car. He was carrying Lin Hui on his back as he followed her with his unstable steps. 

" Why is he so heavy?" He groaned while adjusting him on his back.

Jia Fei looked at him apologetically and opened the car door for him. He laid down Lin Hui in the back seat and groaned, " How much did he drink? He didn't even open his eyes for once." 

He stretched his back and looked at Lin Hui in annoyance. 

" Thank you for helping me. And here, your coat." she smiled and passed him his coat. 

He looked at her smiling at him and nodded. At least she knows how to say thanks. 

Now when he looked at her, he realized that they were wearing matching clothes. She is wearing denim blue jeans and a white t-shirt, while he was wearing blue trousers and a white shirt. 

What a strange coincidence. 

He cleared his throat at this strange thought and asked, " So are you gonna drive him to his house?"

She pursed her lips and glanced at Lin Hui." Now you say it, I don't know his address." She admitted honestly. 

After the scandal, they all had to move out of their previous houses because the media and paparazzi were always following them. That's why she and Luo Dan moved to the Glory building since their security was more strict and advanced. 

She had heard that Lin Hui had moved to another place but she didn't know the address. 

" What? Aren't you, his girlfriend? How come you don't know his address?" He asked in confusion. 

Jia Fei frowned and glared at him. From where did he get this idea? It's not that she hates this idea, but his words are nothing but sounds like rubbing salt on her wounds.
