My Evil Genius Wife-Chapter 495 - 495 Aging like a fine wine.
495 Aging like a fine wine.
“Nice to meet you. I am Han Zihao, Xu Nuan’s fiance.” Han Zihao happily extended his hand to shake hands with Hu Jun and Aurora.
The bitter feelings about how she hid the existence of this company from him for so long and kept so many secrets from him vanished in an instant when she introduced him as her fiance to her employees.
It was her first time introducing him to others as her fiance. How can he not be excited about it?
He was smiling ear to ear and happily greeted them while introducing himself as her fiance and not boyfriend.
Xu Nuan, who was standing on the side, chuckled to see him smiling so much after she called him her fiance.
They even made a baby together and are soon going to get married. Yet he was so happy just because she called him her fiance. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖
She didn’t know that it was this easy to make this man happy.
While Han Zihao was enjoying this moment, Hu Jun and Aurora pursed their lips at the sudden news that Xu Nuan bombed on their heads and responded to Han Zihao’s greeting dumbfoundedly.
“Well….nice to meet you too.” Hu Jun awkwardly responded to Han Zihao’s greeting while shaking hands with him.
.....
On the other hand, Aurora’s facial expressions turned gloomy after hearing the news. He casually shook hands with Han Zihao and coldly said his name in greeting, “Aurora!”
Han Zihao frowned as he felt something strange in his attitude. Why is he looking at him with hostility in his eyes?
Now he looks at him, he does look familiar to him. Have they met before? He wondered.
Xu Nuan noticed the strange atmosphere between the two men and intercepted, “By the way, aren’t you both seeing each other for the second time?”
“Second time?” Han Zihao looked at her in confusion. How come he doesn’t remember seeing him before? ƒ𝑟𝙚e𝔀𝗲𝒃n𝒐𝘷𝗲Ɩ.c𝗼𝚖
Before she could say anything, Aurora jumped into the conversation, ” He doesn’t know me. We didn’t get to introduce each other last time.”
“However, I know him very well. He created quite a chaos that day.” Aurora scoffed upon remembering the heroic entry of Han Zihao at the welcome party of Xu Nuan.
They met for the first time at the welcome party of Xu Nuan. Since she joined late, the seniors held a small party for her to get to know each other.
However, things didn’t go as planned. There was one senior or more like a bastard who had ill intentions toward Xu Nuan and misbehaved with her at the party.
Aurora tried to help her but was punched by him in the face instead. How embarrassing!
It was at that party when Han Zihao made a heroic entry and stood up for Xu Nuan. How the hell did he come at the right time? He still wonders about it.
He not only punished the guy who misbehaved with Xu Nuan at the party, but also his secretary casually came to tell everyone to keep their mouths shut and even forced them to sign a confidentiality contract.
After that, no one dared to talk about that incident, but everyone was impressed by the visuals of Xu Nuan’s boyfriend, who saved the damsel in distress and became a hero in everyone’s eyes.
What a show-off! Huh.

Xu Nuan chuckled at Aurora’s comment and agreed with him. Han Zihao indeed made a heroic entry that day and caught everyone’s attention.
She cleared her throat to see Han Zihao frowning at Aurora and tried to help them get comfortable with each other, “Erm…Since you don’t know about him, let me introduce you two properly.”
“He is Yi Yujin aka Aurora. He also studies at Xin Lin University.”
“Although he is not a freshman and my senior, we attended a few classes and got to know each other.” She explained.
” Why are you stretching it so much?” Aurora looked at Xu Nuan with a frown. He slid his hands inside his pocket and looked at Han Zihao with a proud smirk and said, “In short, we’re friends. Close friends.” He added.
Han Zihao raised his brows in amusement at his words and could see his possessiveness towards Xu Nuan.
He scoffed at the attitude of the young kid and said, “Well, nice to meet you. Since you’re close to Xu Nuan and she treats you like her younger brother, I should treat you the same way.” He said while looking at him scornfully.
Xu Nuan’s eyes widened in panic at his statement and blinked at him fervently to correct his words. Her past self was older than Aurora, however, she is currently living as Xu Nuan.
There is no way he is younger than her.
Aurora laughed at Han Zihao’s statement and said, “Mr. Han, didn’t you hear what Xu Nuan said just a while ago?”
“I am not her junior in college but a senior. How can I be younger than her? What do you mean by young brother? Looks like you need to eat some almonds and walnuts to strengthen your hearing power and memory.” He scoffed.
“Looks like as you grow old, your senses start to slow down as well,” Aurora commented, attacking Han Zihao’s old age compared to Xu Nuan who is still young and at blossoming age.
Xu Nuan: “...”
Xu Nuan was speechless as the tension between the two men keep increasing and was taking a dangerous direction.
She glanced at Han Zihao and could see his hardened expression. ‘What is wrong with this kiddo?’ She wondered in bewilderment while looking at Aurora who was acting differently today.
Before Han Zihao could say anything, she responded faster than him and clinked her arms with him to stop him from arguing further. “Aurora, do you not know, men age like a fine wine. The elder they are, the sexier they are.” She said while taking sides with her soon-to-be-husband.
Han Zihao grinned proudly when she supported him in front of Aurora. However, his complexion paled when she turned to him and said, ” You as well, do you think I look older than him? My skin is smooth as rose petals, how can you say that I look older than him?” She scoffed in disbelief.
Although she knows from whose point of view Han Zihao made that comment, it was the best way to stop this random conversation from turning into a catfight. She cannot let Han Zihao lose in front of a young kid who is smart as hell and has a sharp and bitter tongue.
Meanwhile, she cannot let Aurora feel humiliated and angry as well. He is one of the two kidneys of her company after all. She cannot allow Aurora to leave the company for such a petty reason.
Han Zihao was dumbfounded when Xu Nuan questioned him and asked if he thinks she looks older than Aurora. Is she seriously angry at him?
He looked at her speechlessly and could see her pleading with her eyes.
He understood the meaning behind her gaze and controlled his temper for her sake. He pursed his lips and nodded without saying anything.
He shouldn’t create a scene at her workplace. Moreover, Aurora is just a young kid who doesn’t know anything about Jiang Yue.
Thinking about it, he took a deep breath and calmed himself.
Hu Jun, who was standing on the side, was checking Han Zihao throughout the conversation. When something hit him, he exclaimed in curiosity and asked, “Ah! If you’re the President of Han Corporations, then was it you who requested that strange task?” He asked when he remembered what Feng Sheng requested him to do.
He was thinking of rejecting their offer but it was Xu Nuan who told him to accept the offer and lead the project herself.
After establishing the company, it was the first time she had shown so much interest in any case and handled it on her own.
“Then the news about Jiang Corporations….” Hu Jun looked at Xu Nuan and Han Zihao in confusion as he tried to join the dots.
It was strange that the other day Han Zihao asked him to remove the surveillance system and the case was related to Jiang Corporations as well and today the CEO and Managing Director of the company was arrested.
“Yup. We’re the masterminds behind the news that you’ve been seeing everywhere since the morning.” Xu Nuan told him honestly.
She smiled as she was pleased with the way he naturally changed the conversation. Perfect! Two points for his smartness.
Things were getting heated and Hu Jun snatched the opportunity by changing the flow of the conversation.
” But why? You don’t accept such cases. Then why did you go to such lengths to find evidence for someone you don’t even know?” Hu Jun asked innocently. Unlike Xu Nuan, nothing was going on inside his head.
He was simply curious about it.
Xu Nuan glanced at Han Zihao before answering, “I don’t know him. However, I am acquainted with Mr. Jiang.” She answered with a diplomatic answer.
It is true. She does know the Chairman of Jiang Corporations, however, he doesn’t need to know what kind of relationship she has with him.
” Also, it was for a good cause. How can I reject his request despite knowing the whole story?” She reasoned with him.
Hu Jun nodded seriously and said, “That’s right. You did the right thing. I got goosebumps when I was reading the article earlier. How can she be so vicious to kill her cousin? I liked Ming Yue so much.” He wiped his nonexistent tears.
However, he was feeling bad for Ming Yue aka Jiang Yue as her fan who lost her life at such a young age. There were so many things that she needed to experience. However, her life ended before she got to experience everything.
Her Grandfather must be so heartbroken. Not only did his youngest Granddaughter die but also because his other granddaughter was the cause of her death.
