My Evil Genius Wife

Chapter 269 - Cats Over Dogs.



Yuhan shakes his head and runs a hand through his hair, " Then now what? Are you taking him to your house or a hotel?"

She frowned at his blunt words. She glared at him but that\'s the only option she has right now. 

  Her place? No! She doesn\'t live alone, Luo Dan is at home. It will be uncomfortable if she takes him to her place. 

She doesn\'t want Luo Dan to get suspicious about their relationship, there is nothing to be suspicious of anyway. 

Hotel? Hmm, Well, it\'s not a good idea either.

  She can\'t leave him alone at the hotel in this state and going to the hotel with Lin Hui when he is drunk, it won\'t be a nice idea. 

Not because she might do something to him but if someone took their picture together, it\'s gonna be troublesome. She doesn\'t want him to get involved in any scandal because of her. 

As she was wondering what to do, an idea came into her mind. Her eyes lit up as she looked up at Yuhan with her twinkling eyes. 

Yuhan, who was drinking water and was quenching his thirst after carrying a man on his back, was surprised to see Jia Fei beaming at him. 

Her bright smile alerted his senses as he immediately stepped back and shook his head in denial, " Don\'t look at me with your greedy cat-like eyes. I am a dog person, I won\'t get into your pleading-eyes trap."

" Whatever you\'re thinking, it\'s a clear no from me. I am not gonna agree to it. Never."

She smiled at him and stepped closer, " Aye, are you looking down on cats? That\'s not nice."

" Moreover, You\'re such a nice person. You helped a \'pitiful\' girl\' in trouble a while ago. I am sure you won\'t leave me here alone like this either."

Yuhan pursed his lips as she doesn\'t look like a pitiful girl at all. 

" I am sure the consequences of your good deeds will come back to you. Moreover, we\'re friends now. You won\'t leave your friend behind, do you?" she leaned close and nudged him while pushing him into the corner, with no escape. 

He scoffed, " And when did that happen? This is the second time we\'re meeting. Technically, we\'re strangers."

" Ouch, that hurts. I thought that we were friends. I even saw you getting rejected, there is no room for secrets between us." she winked at him, making him stare at her in horror. 

\' She is creepy!!\'

-

Jia Fei stood next to the bed as she watched Lin Hui sleeping soundly. His face was crimson and his hair was in a mess.  He was repeating Jiang Yue\'s name in his sleep and looked even more vulnerable. 

Watching him torment himself like this, she was feeling strange too. She was in one-sided love with him for three years. 

At first, he was just a manager and a close friend of hers, like for everyone else in the group. But slowly and steadily, when those feelings took the shape of one-sided love, she didn\'t know. 

Once she gathered her courage and tried to confess to him, she found out that he has feelings for Jiang Yue, but she doesn\'t know about it. 

  Since Jiang Yue was in a relationship with Qin Ju, she thought that it would be alright for her to chase him and confess her feelings for him. Maybe her sincere feelings will change his mind?

A few days before Jiang Yue\'s accident took place, she confessed to him. It wasn\'t an easy decision for her since they used to work together and if the confession didn\'t go right, this will make the situation awkward. 

But she still did. She was in love with him, it was natural for her to express her feelings for him. 

However, just as she feared, she was rejected. 

His words are still vivid in her memory. 

" Jia Fei, I didn\'t know that you had those feelings for me. I appreciate your feelings, but I am sorry. I like someone else." 

" That\'s why I can\'t reciprocate your feelings. I always saw you as my younger sister and a good friend."  Those words stabbed her right at her vulnerable point. 

\'Younger sister? That was worse than being friend-zoned.\'

Her abrupt confession made things awkward for both of them. They needed to work together but it was not as comfortable as before. 

They both started to avoid each other, since that day, she didn\'t have a decent conversation with him. 

That\'s why she wasn\'t even surprised when he came to the cafe a few days ago and left without seeing her. 

It\'s not like he was busy but he was avoiding her, worried that things will become even more uncomfortable between them as they already are. 

After Jiang Yue\'s death, she knew that it would be hard for him. But she had no idea that he would end up in this state. The more she looks at him, the more vulnerable he appears to be. 

She sighed and removed his shoes and tucked him properly under the blanket. She adjusted the temperature of the air conditioner before walking out of the room. 

-

As she walked out of the guest room, she jumped in a startle to see Yuhan sitting in the living room on the couch. 

She patted her chest trying to calm down, \'I almost forgot that it\'s his house.\'

Since she didn\'t know Lin Hui\'s address, that\'s the only place she could think of to stay at for a night. 

Yuhan was drinking water when Jia Fei walked out of the room. He glanced at her and noticed her solemn expressions. 

He gulped and put the cup on the table, before asking, " He is sleeping?" 

She nodded. 

  " Thanks for letting him stay here for a night. Also, he is not used to drinking much, if it won\'t be a bother, can you give him lemon honey water in the morning? Otherwise, he will feel uncomfortable the whole day." 

He pursed his lips and nodded. She looked cheerful a while ago but since she came out of the room, she was looking tired and distressed. 

On their way back home, the man kept repeating another woman\'s names in his sleep. When he glanced at her, he found her staring out of the window in a daze. 

It doesn\'t look like she is her girlfriend, but he can tell that the relationship between them is complicated.

-

He looked at her and seeing how worried she was about him, he asked, " If you\'re that worried about him, why don\'t you stay for a night here too? It\'s too late to go back alone anyway." 

She stared at him in surprise, " Can I? You\'re such a nice person. Why are you still single?"

"....."

Yuhan was speechless at her sudden change in attitude. She looked distressed just now, then how come her tone changed so quickly?

"Wait...shouldn\'t you at least deny this request for once and pretend to be humble? How can you be so shameless?" He asked, wondering how can she agree to it so fast? 

" I was not planning to leave him all alone anyway. But thanks for asking me to stay before I can do so." she smiled at him and waved her hands. 

Yuhan was speechless. Did I make a mistake by asking her to stay for a night?

Han Zihao was standing in the corridor and was waiting for Xu Nuan to arrive. It\'s already so late and she hasn\'t arrived yet. Her phone is switched off since she messaged him that she is going out for dinner with her friend. 

But which friend? As much as he knows, she doesn\'t have any friends. 

As he was walking back and forth in the corridor, the elevator stopped at the floor and Xu Nuan walked out of it. 

" Where were you? Why is your phone off? Do you know how worried I was? " He asked while looking at her worriedly. 

She looked red and a little tipsy. But more than that, her solemn expressions worried him. 

Why would she stress after meeting a friend?

" You okay? You don\'t look good." He asked. 

Xu Nuan looked at him and smiled mildly. She wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him tightly. " I am fine. Just a little drunk."

He pursed his lips as her voice sounded hoarse and tired. " Which friend did you meet? The girls from your group? Or someone from college?" He asked while rubbing her back. 

She sighed and said, " Lin Hui. He came back from his business trip and wanted to have dinner together."

His hand froze upon hearing his name. How can he forget about him?

He looked at her and seeing her dull complexion, he couldn\'t bring himself to ask more. If she went to dinner with him, what made her so sad and tired?
