My Evil Genius Wife-Chapter 493 - 493 Basement I
493 Basement I ๐๐ฏ๐e๐e๐ฏ๐ท๐ผ๐e๐.๐๐ผ๐บ
Han Zihao was standing in the staircase area while waiting for Xu Nuan. After Jia Fei interrupted their small romantic moment, he had to step outside to give Xu Nuan time to deal with her friends.
He was checking the news on his phone about Jiang Corporations and was waiting for Xu Nuan in the staircase area as she asked him to do.
In such a short period, the news of the Jiang Corporations scandal has spread like wildfire and has been shown as breaking news on all the media outlets and news broadcasting channels.
Not only Jiang Ru and Jiang Yahui are affected by this controversy, but the Jiang Corporations management is also under fire and will need some time to recover from this shock. However, it is still better than the company going into the hands of the murderers.
โI should give a call to Grandfather Jiang later.โ He murmured as he worriedly read the news articles about the situation going on at the company after the two ex-executives of the company were arrested from the company.
โDid you wait for long?โ His lips curled up in a pleased smile when two arms were wrapped around his waist from behind and he could feel Xu Nuanโs petite hugging her from the back. She was acting like a mischievous cat and was rubbing her face against his back lovingly to get his attention.
Han Zihao let out a throaty laugh at her cat-like behavior to get his attention and asked, โ Did you explain it well to your friends? Do they still think that I am a bastard?โ He asked while pulling her to his front.
Who would have thought that someone would compare him to a bastard like Qin Ju? It would be better if she had compared him with some animal โ dog, cat, fox, or monkey; anything would do.
At least the animals have a personality. Unlike Qin Ju, who only knows who to reap benefits over womenโs hard work and then backstabs them when theyโre into him and trusts him with everything.
.....
Disgusting!
He was slightly irritated when Jia Fei interrupted his moment with Xu Nuan, however, on the other side, he was glad that there is someone to worry about Xu Nuan, and will do anything to protect her even if he is not by her side.
How can he get angry at her for worrying about Xu Nuan? Moreover, she doesnโt know about Xu Nuanโs pregnancy yet, so it was possible for her to misunderstand his actions.
She is the same person who slapped Hao Mei and Qin Ju after their secrets were revealed in front of the world. She didnโt care about her reputation in front of the cameras and slapped them like a crazy woman with no intention of stopping.
How can he get annoyed by that kind of person? She indeed wishes the best for Jiang Yue and now Xu Nuan. There is no doubt about that.
....
Xu Nuan pursed her lips in embarrassment at his question and looked at him guiltily. โI am sorry! Jia Fei reacted quite harshly, didnโt she?โ
โ Please donโt mind her words. She just cares too much about me that she considers everyone my enemy. Especially after what happened with Qin Ju and Hao Mei, she has gotten quite sensitive about such things when it comes to me.โ She said as she walked to his side and clinked arms with him.
โI can see that. Looks like before getting married to you, I need to work hard to get their approval first. Otherwise, I am scared that they will fill up your ears against me and will convince you to run away one day before the wedding.โ He said jokingly.
Xu Nuan chuckled at his wild imagination and nodded, โ Well, thatโs why you need to work hard. You shouldnโt let your guard down just because you got the deal. No deal is done until you sign the contract.โ
โSoโฆ.keep working hard to impress the major shareholders. They have a great say in this deal after all.โ She winked at him and encouraged him to make a plan to get on the good side of her friends who are more like sisters to her.
It would be only good for her if her friends could hang out with Han Zihao without fighting like cats and dogs. Because they are the most important people in her life and she doesnโt want to choose one among them.
โBy the way, why did you ask me to wait at the staircase near the basement? We should have gone outside to have lunch instead. Arenโt you hungry?โ He asked in concern.
So many things happened today. However, despite everything, he wanted to treat her to a sumptuous meal and gain energy from the food to fight against all the stress and bad news.
Because she still needs to take care of herself and the baby.
Xu Nuan smiled at him and said, โ Of course, I am hungry. We will go to eat once I show you something interesting.โ
โInteresting? What is it? Isnโt it just a basement?โ Han Zihao raised a question and wondered why she was so excited about showing the basement to him. What is so special about this basement?
Arenโt all basementโs the same? Cramped with boxes and smelly. There is nothing new.
Xu Nuan looked at him meaningfully and said, โ Well, other basements might be the same but not in my case. My basement is the best part of my company. Arenโt you curious to see it?โ
Han Zihao looked at him in amusement and wondered what was so special about the basement. He nodded and followed her without any questions asked to the basement while holding onto Xu Nuan carefully, making sure she didnโt trip on the stairs.
โOh? It is closed.โ Han Zihao exclaimed to see the rolling shutter of the basement which was closed.
There was nothing special to see about this basement. The shutter was painted in a plain gray color and looked dull just like the other basementโs shutters. There is nothing new about it.
โ There is nothing to see here. Xu Nuan, letโs go for now. Itโs not right for you to stay hungry for a long time.โ He looked at her with concern.
โKneel down and you will see a small button under the shutter lid. Press that button.โ However, Xu Nuan ignored his words and ordered him to look for a button under the shutter and press it.
Han Zihao looked at her in puzzlement but seeing her looking at him seriously, he kneeled and looked for the button she asked for. Because if he did not do that, he was sure that she would bend down and do the work on her own.
How can he let her do such kind of work in this condition? Thatโs why he followed her orders like a patient, filial husband.
โOh!โ He was surprised when he found the red color button under the shutter. He pressed the button, however, he was surprised by a loud noise that startled him.
He almost fell behind but Xu Nuan placed a hand on his shoulder to maintain his balance and chuckled at his reaction.
โWhat is going on?โ Han Zihao was speechless and dumbfounded when the large rolling shutter started to rise on its own.
However, what surprised him more was the set-up inside the basement. How can it be possible?
โThisโฆ.is this real?โ His eyes widened in shock as he couldnโt believe his eyes. Is he daydreaming? He wondered.
