My Evil Genius Wife

Chapter 85 - Is This Bitch Threatening Me?

Han Zihao who just woke up after hearing the doorbell was surprised to see her standing there in workout clothes. He was surprised because she was wearing a cropped hoodie, exposing her skin. His eyes were wandering there unknowingly. He tried to focus on her face and asked, " What are you doing here?"

Xu Nuan was startled when he suddenly opened the door. She smiled seeing his sleepy face and tousled hair which was adding charm to his face early in the morning. 

" I am here to woo you, Mr. Han. Didn't I tell you last night that I am going to make you accept my proposal in two weeks? Today is the start of that mission. Get ready. We are going out for a jog." she said.

He rolled his eyes at her. She decided to woo him but did he agree to play along with her?

" But it was you who said that. I never agreed that I will play along with your weird tricks." he reasoned with her.

" But you never deny it either. You didn't raise objections, did you? Then it will be counted as consent. Now go and get ready." 

"-_-"

He was speechless seeing her reasoning with him. She has a brain but she always uses it in strange things.

-

In the end, Han Zihao went to his bedroom to get ready while Xu Nuan roamed around in the living room. She walked to see the pictures placed on the television shelf and stared at his photos when he was young. She picked up a photo in which he was at a beach with Han Liang. She chuckled as she remembered seeing Han Liang when he visited the foundation with Han Zihao and his parents. 

He was a brat even when he was young. No doubt he got a sharp tongue after growing up. Well, she was not an ideal kid either so she can't blame him.

She caressed Han Zihao's face on the frame as she could see the innocence on that face which was smiling brightly. 

"Those were some happy days." she murmured while looking at the pictures with a sense of nostalgia.

" What are you doing???

She was startled when she heard his voice from behind and almost dropped the frame, but he acted fast and caught it before it could fall on the ground.

She gasped in shock but seeing him catching it in time, she sighed in relief. " Ah, I was so scared just now. Why did you come from behind silently? Can't you just make some sound while you walk?" she argued while patting her chest.

He scoffed and said, " You're the one who almost broke my frame and now you're blaming me?"

She pursed her lips and then glanced at him. She raised her brows seeing him wearing a black t-shirt with grey sweatpants in which he looked deliciously handsome. She blinked as her eyes were fixated on his abs lining beneath his black t-shirt.

" Wow! You have a good body, Mr. Han. Should we go swimming rather than jog? I think that would be more fun." she commented while staring at his abs.

"-_-"

He knitted his brows seeing her lustful gaze and flicked a finger on her forehead. 

" If you're going to act like a thirsty pervert then I am not coming with you."

Xu Nuan pursed her lips upon hearing his analogy. Thirsty pervert? Well, if she is a pervert then she is a beautiful one at least.

She shook her head and said, " Let's go….on our first date." she whispered the last part of the sentence.

-

They went to the central park which was a 10 minutes ride away. It was a bigger and spacious one than their building park.

It was only 15 minutes past 7 but it was filled with people who came for a morning walk. They walked to the green area and she started stretching a bit, she bent down to do a criss-cross. Han Zihao was trying to get used to this foreign feeling.

He doesn't come to parks for a jog or walking, he sometimes goes to the gym but it was his first time coming to the park for a jog. He was stretching his arm when she suddenly bent down. 

He turned his eyes away as her butt was in front of him and its shape was round and defined due to her fitted leggings. He awkwardly looked away trying to not be a pervert.

Xu Nuan who had her head down was doing her stretching noticed his actions and chuckled. 

' So Mr. Han can't resist my overflowing charm huh?' she smiled slyly and decided to use the beauty trap to woo him for the first date.

After doing criss-cross, she did a few squats and jumping jacks. She wanted to do some pushups but she was out of breath. 

She panted and turned around to see him, wondering if he was still stealing gazes at her but her expressions darkened when she noticed that he was not there.

"-_-"

She almost laughed when she saw him running around the park. 

" Is he here for the workout? This man does not have an EQ at all. Can't he see that I am doing all this for him?" she whined as she sat on the green grass. She was too tired to follow him for a jog now.

Han Zihao who was running a lap around the park noticed her sitting there tiredly. A playful smile crept on his lips but it disappeared soon seeing the figure approaching her.

-

Xu Nuan was catching up on her breath and was taking a rest when she heard a familiar voice, " "Xu Nuan, What are you doing here?"

She turned around and frowned at Xingren who was standing there with Yuhan. Why the hell does this girl appear whenever she goes?

Yuhan raised his brows seeing Xu Nuan here. He came here because Xingren insisted and forced him to tag along with her. However, he was surprised to see Xu Nuan here.

She frowned at her but smiled at Yuhan before responding to her stupid question, " As you can see I am here for a morning workout. But what are you doing here? This park is quite a distance away from Gu Mansion."

Gu Xingren looked at Xu Nuan whose body fit clothes were enhancing her curves. She frowned and wondered since when this girl started to wear such revealing clothes.

" Even though it is far, I can afford to come here since it takes only 20 minutes with a drive." she shrugged her shoulders. The central park was quite famous among people due to its beautiful scenery and greenery.

" Well, if you came here to jog then go and do that. Treat me as a stranger. Bye." Xu Nuan decided to leave as she doesn't want to ruin her mood so early.

Xingren wanted to snap at her seeing her rude attitude but remembering that Yuhan was beside her she said, " Xu Nuan, you're 21 already. I know you didn't score much at school but if you didn't get into some university, how will you be able to get a job later? You have broken ties with our family, how can you bear your expenses without our help? You are already an orphan, what do you want to do if you will break ties with us?" she said.

She has thought that without working, how long can she hold on without their help? If she comes back to the family, she can find a way to make her submissive. She doesn't like the way she is acting these days. Even at the party, she tried to show her place but her fight with Zhu Ai escalated the situation.

She needs to hold her wings before Xu Nuan becomes too bold and dandy.

Yuhan raised his brows when he heard that she had broken ties with the Gu family. He knew that she doesn't like them much but she never said anything about it. 

He looked at Xu Nuan and was expecting her to tell her that she has already got a job. But she just chuckled and said, " My dear sister, you don't need to worry about my livelihood. Just worry about yourself. Who knows one day everyone will find out about your secret?" she shrugged her shoulders making Xingren's mood even worse.

Is this bitch threatening me?

" Secret? What secret?" Yuhan asked in curiosity.

Gu Xingren froze when he asked this. She has always worried about what would happen if he found out the truth. The relationship between her and Yuhan is nothing more than mere friends. However, because of their mothers, he was still giving respect to their arrangement. But she feels constantly afraid that he might just break up with her if he finds out the truth.

If Yuhan breaks up this engagement, she will be a Gu and if he breaks up this engagement then she will fail to become Mrs. Yan. She doesn't want that to happen. She can't let him find out the truth that Xu Nuan is the real Gu.

Since the banquet, he was acting strangely around her and she could see the way he looks at Xu Nuan is different than he looks at her.

" It's nothing. She is just joking." Gu Xingren said while glaring at Xu Nuan to shut up.

Yuhan frowned but didn't say anything. " Xu Nuan, if you are done with your workout, then do you want to join us for breakfast? My treat."

Xingren's expressions darkened but she controlled her anger and said, " Yuhan, what are you saying? If she joins us, it will be uncomfortable for her." she said while forcing a smile on her face.

" What's there to be uncomfortable? You're sisters and we're friends. It will be fun. Xu Nuan, you tell me, do you have any issues with having breakfast with us?"

" There is a famous restaurant nearby which serves the best pancakes. You should try them," he commented.
