My Evil Genius Wife-Chapter 500 - 500 Promotion

500 Promotion

~Moon River Cafe~

“Your strawberry frappuccino is ready.” Luo Dan said as she placed Xu Nuan’s order on her table and a piece of strawberry cheesecake. After putting the tray on the table, she also took a seat opposite Xu Nuan.

It was the weekend and to meet up with the girls, she closed the cafe for a day. Jia Fei recently started her career as a soloist idol once again, she needed to be careful when going out in public.

That’s why she closed down the cafe so that they could talk to each other in privacy. Moreover, two days ago the article regarding the mystery behind Jiang Yue’s death was revealed and Jiang Corporation was stuck in scandals one by one.

They wanted to talk to Xu Nuan about it and comfort her so that she would not feel upset about it. As her friends, that’s the least thing they could do to help her in this situation.

Xu Nuan took a sip of the sweet-strawberry frappuccino and raised her brows in surprise, ” Did you make it yourself?” She asked in pleasant surprise.

Luo Dan cleared her throat proudly and said, ” Of course. If not me, who would make it for you?”

To meet up with the girls at the cafe, she gave a day off to all the employees. Since she gave a day off to all the other employees, she decided to make something to drink for Xu Nuan and Jia Fei. 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚

She might not be perfect but she knows how to prepare an order. She owns a cafe, after all, she should know the basics at the least.

.....

“Ohh! Luo Dan is the best.” Xu Nuan nodded in appreciation and showed her a thumbs up to compliment her barista skills. She not only prepared her frappuccino but Jia Fei’s Iced Americano as well.

“I am glad that you know how to appreciate the best.” Luo Dan answered her compliment and gladly accepted the praises.

Jia Fei took a sip of her coffee and scoffed to see Luo Dan shamelessly making a cringe remark, “Eww! Looks like you’re getting infected by Han Liang’s shameless attitude.”

“Luo Luo, I am telling you. These days you have started to behave like him as well. This is so creepy and disgusting.” Jia Fei wrinkled her nose and scowled in disgust.

Luo Dan frowned and kicked Jia Fei on her calf under the table, ” Don’t make fun of him. You’re just badmouthing him because you do not know how cute he is.” She defended her boyfriend.

“Oww! Why are you using violence? Use words! Words!” Jia Fei shouted as she rubbed the place where Luo Dan kicked her. She is like a fairy to others, why does she become a devil when it comes to her?

Xu Nuan, who was sitting in the middle, chuckled to see them arguing like cat and mouse. She took a bite of her cheesecake and said, “Does anyone want to taste the strawberry cheesecake? If not, then I am eating all of it.”

“You eat all of it. Jia Fei and I don’t like sweets that much.” Luo Dan said as she allowed Xu Nuan to have all of it.

“Woah! That’s a whole lot of sugar.” Jia Fei frowned and felt queasy to see so many sugary items. How can a person have so many sugary items at once?

She turned to Xu Nuan and asked in disbelief, ” Are you sure you’re going to eat all of this? Don’t you think it’s too much sugar?”

She knows that Xu Nuan likes strawberries but this was too much. How can she consume the strawberry frappuccino which is loaded with sugar with strawberry cheesecake? That’s a whole lot of sugar!

In the last few days, she has been acting strangely. She has been consuming so many strawberry items and craving sugary desserts all the time.

Her taste buds have changed drastically.

She rejects their offer when they invite her to their gatherings, especially when they go out to have some drinks. Rather than having coffee, she drinks orange juice or milkshakes.

One day when she barged into her office at the company, Xu Nuan had so many snack packets opened in front of her and was eating as if she was starving for the past two days. However, it was the scene after lunchtime.

She was simply recharging herself by eating so many snacks. How can someone recharge their energy by eating so many snacks?

That too a person like Xu Nuan who is conscious about her looks and weight. She might not be the idol anymore but it’s not easy to let go of that idol mindset so easily.

Maintaining your weight and taking care of your looks is one of those mindsets. How come she has let go of that mindset so easily?

Xu Nuan looked at Jia Fei’s shocked expression and answered casually, ” You think it’s too much? Well, as long as it tastes good, I don’t care about anything.”

“Moreover, the doctor has told me to eat more. So I am allowed to eat all of this.” Xu Nuan commented while taking a sip of her drink.

“Doctor? Are you sick somewhere?” Luo Dan asked worriedly when she heard the word doctor from Xu Nuan.

Xu Nuan is indeed quite skinny and petite. These days she has been vomiting frequently and even looks tired and exhausted most of the time.

She was thinking of asking her to get checked up by the doctor. Looks like she already got herself diagnosed by the doctor.

“Are you sick? What happened to you?” Jia Fei’s expression turned serious when she saw Luo Dan getting serious.

They already lost Jiang Yue once. They cannot bear to lose her for the second time as well.

“Woah, relax! I am absolutely fine. It’s all normal.” Xu Nuan said and straightened her posture when she was targeted by both of their investigating questions.

“What is so normal? You look so tired these days. Look at your face, it’s so pale and weak.” Jia Fei nagged her. “Xu Nuan, tell us honestly. Is something wrong with you? You better come clean with us and don’t let us guess this time. Or else we will stop being friends with you.” She threatened her.

“That’s right. Xu Nuan, tell us the truth. Is everything alright? Even Han Zihao looked so worried about your health the other day. Han Liang also told me to take care of your health. What is going on?” Luo Dan asked worriedly.

Xu Nuan sighed heavily seeing them panicking and tried to calm them down, ” Oh My God, take a breath first. It’s not that serious.”

“To tell you the truth, I asked both of you to meet today because I have something to tell you.” She started.

“What is it?” Luo Dan and Jia Fei asked simultaneously while looking at Xu Nuan in seriousness.

“Erm…Well….I am not sick. However, something is going to happen to me.” She said as if giving them a puzzle to solve.

Luo Dan and Jia Fei exchanged glances before Luo Dan asked seriously, ” Xu Nuan, you can tell us everything. We will do our best to help you. You don’t need to be scared about anything.”

Jia Fei nodded and added, ” If you want to kill that rat, tell me now. I will do the deed.” She said, hinting towards Jiang Ru who is under investigation at the moment.

Xu Nuan looked at Jia Fei and almost burst out laughing. She was trying so hard to maintain a serious atmosphere but she was ruining the whole mood.

How can she say something like that while making a serious face?

“That’s not it.” She assured Jia Fei and continued, “Well, In a few months, I am going to be promoted.”

Luo Dan and Jia Fei frowned and sighed in relief when they heard her announcement. “What is this? Were you doing all this build-up just to announce your promotion? That’s so lame.” Jia Fei complained.

She got serious for no reason. She thought something big must have happened to her.

Promotion is a good thing, why would she talk as if she is terminally sick? It scared the hell out of her for no reason.

“Really? Congratulations! By the way, you are the CEO of the company, what would you become if you were to be promoted?” Luo Dan asked in confusion.

Who will promote her when she is the CEO of the company herself?

“Good point. What position will you be promoted to?” Jia Fei asked in curiosity as well.

Xu Nuan looked at the two of them and smiled mysteriously. “Mother!” She said,

After a long uncomfortable silence, Jia Fei scoffed and said, ” If you’re going to become a mother, then I will become a father. Stop making jokes and tell us the truth. What will be your new position?”

Xu Nuan: “.....”

Xu Nuan was speechless at the way Jia Fei took her words. Well, what was she expecting from her anyway?

She took a deep breath and was about to explain the meaning behind her words when Luo Dan screamed in excitement and looked at her seriously while grabbing her shoulders and asking her, ” Xu Nuan, are you serious? You are going to become a Mother?”

Xu Nuan chuckled to see at least one of the two understood the meaning of her words.

As expected of Luo Dan. She doesn’t disappoint her when it comes to using her brain.

“Do you think I will lie about something like this?” Xu Nuan asked in return.

Luo Dan laughed in joy and happily hugged Xu Nuan as she couldn’t believe that she was going to become a mother soon.

While they were celebrating this good news, Jia Fei sat there mindlessly and looked at the two crying in happiness.

“What? Wasn’t it a joke?” She asked in confusion.
