My Evil Genius Wife

Chapter 389: Just two of us.

” Lin Hui, so what are you doing these days? Are you working with any group these days or planning to do it?” Luo Dan asked him, while Jia Fei and Xu Nuan were busy arguing with each other. Jia Fei was still upset at Xu Nuan for not telling the truth sooner when she had already told Lin Hui about it long ago.

While Jia Fei and Luo Dan were busy mourning for Jiang Yue’s passing away and were trying hard to live their lives, Xu Nuan was having fun by training a new girl group. This girl is surely great at adapting to any situation.

If it would have been her, she would have wasted the whole year thinking about how she ended up in this situation or what kind of ridiculous phenomenon this is. Whereas Xu Nuan has not only launched a successful group but also built her own entertainment company in just a year after waking up in Xu Nuan’s body.

That’s some amazing kind of talent she has.

–

“I am taking some time to rest and think about what I really want to do. There are many things in my life-” Lin Hui answered Luo Dan’s question seriously.

He put his coffee cup away and used tissue paper to wipe his hands and mouth. While he was talking to Luo Dan about their plans, his eyes were sneakily looking at Xu Nuan who was talking and laughing along with Jia Fei.

.....

His lips curled up to see Xu Nuan smiling brightly and happily. It’s been a long since he had seen her but he was following news about her regularly and was glad that she had established her company and was working hard towards her goal.

How amazing it would be if he could be a part of her plans as well. He thought.

In just a year, everything has changed. From the great Jiang Yue, she has become CEO Xu Nuan. Luo Dan and Jia Fei have gone from being members of The Queens to becoming partners of a cafe. Even though things have changed a lot, how come his position in Jiang Yue’s life is still the same?

A side character! Even in the past, he was nothing more than a friend to Jiang Yue and it’s still the same even in this life as well.

Just....Where did he go wrong with everything? Where?

As they were talking, Xu Nuan’s phone that was on the table, started to ring, disrupting everyone’s conversations.

Lin Hao pursed his lips to see ‘My Sloth Boyfriend’ name flashing on the screen. It was the moment when he realized that there is no way he can reset things as they were before and change her feelings towards him.

‘She is long gone by his side. No. She was never by his side, he has been standing there alone all along.’ He realized.

” What? Sloth Boyfriend? Xu Nuan, couldn’t you have chosen a more disgusting name than this?” Luo Dan made a face to see the way she had saved Han Zihao’s number in her phone. She was still getting goosebumps, thinking that she must have called him using this name sometimes, which made it even more unbelievable and disgusting.

Xu Nuan scoffed at Luo Dan and whispered in her ears, ” Luo Luo, Mind your words. He might become your Elder Brother in law in the future.”

Luo Dan: “.....”

Xu Nuan giggled to see her shocked expressions and slapped her arm before walking out of the cafe, with her phone to talk to Han Zihao privately.

Luo Dan also noticed Lin Hui’s empty coffee cup and went inside the kitchen to bring something to eat for all of them, leaving Jia Fei and Lin Hui alone.

Jia Fei pursed her lips and looked around and could feel the tension in the room increasing with every passing minute.

‘ Did Luo Dan go to bring some snacks or make them herself?’ She sighed inwardly, cursing Luo Dan for taking so much time in the kitchen.

The uncomfortable silence in the room was so loud that she couldn’t even breathe properly and was careful to not be loud with her breathing sound.

Five minutes passed and no one had said a single word to each other.

“Where were you in the last few months? It was so hard to contact-” When Jia Fei finally dared to say something to break the awkwardness between them, she noticed him looking in a certain direction.

When she followed his gaze of direction and realized that he was looking at Xu Nuan who was standing outside the cafe and was on the phone with Han Zihao. The way he was looking at her smiling face as talked to her boyfriend, made him look even more miserable.

She could see the yearning in his eyes and this made her feel even more broken-hearted. The little hope that she was building in her heart all along, shattered at once.

The last time she went to pick him up at the pub, he was calling Jiang Yue’s name in his drunken state and now he was looking at Xu Nuan with longing in his eyes.

Why does she have to be the only one to see him being tormented like this? It’s not only torturing for him but for her as well. Because she has to sit there and watch the person she likes, getting hurt because of her best friend’s happiness.

After Luo Dan and Xu Nuan came back, the awkwardness between them became even more evident. Xu Nuan noticed the uncomfortable atmosphere and stood up and picked up her bag, saying that she has to leave as Han Zihao is coming soon to pick her up.

It’s not like she cannot stay for long, but she couldn’t bear to face Lin Hui anymore. She could see how uncomfortable he looked with her staying there. That day he didn’t even allow her to finish her words and cut her in between.

She could see how uncomfortable he looks when talking about that matter. So it’s better to let bygones be bygones.

It’s better to not make the relationship between them even more awkward and leave.

While she was preparing to leave, Lin Hui suddenly looked up and turned to Jia Fei who was hugging Xu Nuan and saying goodbye to her, and said, ” Jia Fei.”

Jia Fei was caught off guard when he suddenly called her name in front of everyone. “Hmm?” She responded in confusion. ” Do you need something?” She asked.

” Do you want to get a drink with me? Just the two of us.” He said as he looked up at her with determination.

Jia Fei: “.....”

Jia Fei’s eyes widened in shock as she wasn’t expecting him to say something like this and that too in front of everyone.

Xu Nuan and Luo Dan were also surprised and glanced at Jia Fei in suspicion. Jia Fei pursed her lips as she could see what they were thinking clearly. However, there is nothing going on between her and Lin Hui for her to tell them about it.

She pursed her lips and wondered how to react to this situation when she heard him say, ” It’s okay if you don’t want to-”

” No. I would love to.” Jia Fei reacted unconsciously. It was the first time he had asked her to have drinks with him alone, how can she miss that chance?

Did he finally realize my sincere feelings for him?

Even though she had confessed to him in the past and was straightly rejected by him, she was still hopeful that one day he might have a change of heart. Seems like that day has finally come.
