My Evil Genius Wife

At night, after wrapping up her work, Xu Nuan left with the girls for their karaoke night. She took them to the place where she used to visit in her trainee days with her members before their debut. They used to go there after their debut as well but soon their public outings were stopped since they soared to popularity after the release of their first mini-album in the second year of their debut.

The place was decent and had a minimum crowd and that's why she loved this place better than others. The karaoke was in the basement of the building and because of this reason it was not popular among the young people. She also doesn't want this place to get crazily filled with people, ruining the beauty and peace of this place.

In the karaoke room, Xu Nuan was sitting on the couch lazily, with her head falling back and was resting while the girls were singing loudly, holding the mics, and were dancing with the pom-pom in their hands.

Just like Xu Nuan, Lai Yi was also sitting on the adjacent couch to hers and was quietly looking at everyone with a faint smile on her face. 

Xu Nuan was thinking about how to promote the girls since there is not much time left and she keeps thinking about her bet with Wang Meili when her phone buzzed that she was holding in her hand. She raised her hand to look at her phone while sitting lazily, however she straightened up seeing that it was Han Zihao who had messaged her. 

[Still, working? It's almost 10 pm. Do you want me to pick you up?]

Her mouth parted open in surprise upon reading his message. His words….why does his words sound so gentle and smooth? Since when he started to use this kind of tone to message her?

She pursed her lips and wondered, ' I am not forgetting something, do I?' she tried to think about it but she can't point at anything. The last time she got drunk and woke up at his place, she forgot everything about that night and still couldn't remember anything. 

But after that day, his actions seem strange. He was being too concerned about her, especially whenever she is late from work or goes out with someone at night. Why is he treating her as a highschool girl?

Before she could get out of her thoughts, she got another message from him. 

[Send me your location.]

"....."

Xu Nuan smiled while staring at her phone. Are we already dating without being official? She wondered about reading his messages. Seems like he wasn't aware that he was already treating her as his girlfriend. 

[ Why? Already missing me? I will tell you where I am if you tell me that you miss me!] she replied to his message and chuckled seeing that he didn't reply for the whole 2 minutes.

She was about to place her phone back on the table when it buzzed again. She looked at the message that said, [Continue acting like this and no dinner for you for a month.] he threatened her, using food as an excuse. 

" Tsk...Why is he being so cute?" she mumbled seeing his message. 

She sighed and looked at the girls and seeing them enjoying their time, she messaged him, [ I will be late tonight. I came to Karaoke with girls.] After this, she placed her phone on the table and took a can of beer to drink it. 

Han Zihao who was sitting on the couch with his coat and car keys ready with him frowned upon reading her message. Karaoke? After kissing him in her drunken state and forgetting about it, she still hasn't gotten her senses back. 

He gritted his teeth because he was sure that she was going to drink again. She becomes a pervert after drinking, what if she uses her advances on someone else? He looked at his phone worriedly.

After signing for an hour, Song Ai coughed tiredly and looked at Xu Nuan and Lai Yi who were just drinking and sitting on the corner as if they were forced to come here. She sighed and walked to Xu Nuan, " What is this? Why are you acting as if you guys are guests here? Xu Nuan, it's your turn now. Go and sing a song." she passed a mic to Xu Nuan.

Xu Nuan frowned and looked at her indifferently, " Are you ordering me? Do you know how expensive it is to hear me sing?" she asked indifferently. 

Song Ai rolled her eyes and stuffed the mic in her hand, not taking her words seriously. " Stop acting high and mighty and sing!" she ordered her. 

"...."

 Xu Nuan was about to throw the mic at her back but before she could deny it, Pan Lan approached them and passed another mic to Lai Yi as well. 

" Let's make them do a duet. Lai Yi hasn't sung a song till now. Lai Yi, go and sing." Pan Lan plumped beside Lai Yi and pushed her to go and sing. 

Xu Nuan wanted to deny it but seeing Lai Yi conflicted she sighed and stood up, " Let's go. It will be a waste of money if we don't enjoy it."

Lai Yi was hesitant but Xu Nuan didn't let her back out and pulled her towards the center, in front of the screen. 

" Pick a song of your choice. I am fine with anything." Xu Nuan shrugged her shoulders and said to Lai Yi. 

Lai Yi pursed her lips and after some thinking, she started looking through the songs. 

Xu Nuan who looked normal on the surface was holding the mic tightly in her hand while fidgeting in her place. Her throat was dry and she couldn't help but bite her lips thinking about singing again. 

After she came back to life again, she has never sung a song. It's not that she can't, she was just afraid. 

She was afraid that she might get disappointed in herself for not singing well enough and will feel discouraged. She not only loves music but respects it to the point where she will feel dejected for not singing it well. 

She was excited to sing again and was nervous as well as she wanted a good job. She was worried since it was not her voice anymore but Xu Nuan's. 

She was busy in her thoughts when Lai Yi picked a song that was a ballad. Xu Nuan pursed her lips as in a ballad, her vocals could be heard clearer than any exciting fun song.

" My first sad love - Ost by Han Liang?" Xu Nuan read the title and the artist's name that showed on the screen. She pursed her lips and glanced at Lai Yi wondering if she has to only pick that dumb headed prince's song. 

" Do you like Han Liang?" she asked her, with clear disgust in her tone.

Lai Yi pursed her lips and nodded shyly. 

"...."

' What's wrong with this girl's choice?' she shook her head in distress.

[Hello and welcome everyone! We are once again back with the second season of our show, 'Karaoke Star'.]

[Today we have six boys with us who are ruling the hearts of every young girl, the most popular boy group, Heart Stealer. Let's welcome them with loud applause!] The MC of the show introduced the guests, opening the show. 

The boys introduced themselves, after which the MC turned to the handsome man sitting adjacent to him. 

[ I don't think I have to introduce our next guest. Because I am sure everyone must know him. Let's welcome the great singer and soloist, Han Liang.]

Han Zihao smiled stiffly and introduced himself but he was conscious of the group of boys sitting opposite him, looking at him with hostility. They were his ex-band members as he used to be part of the same group as them but it's been only a year since he left the group, going solo.

There were many issues when they were together when at least he left the group. The group was still popular but even after going solo, Han Liang's popularity only grew to make the other members look at him enviously. 

In everyone's eyes, he is only a rich kid, with a businessman brother who can do everything for him. However, because of this reason, no one considered his hard work and always treated him undeserving of all the love and awards. 

[ Han Liang, today's music battle is between you and your ex-band members, Heart Stealer. What's your thought on competing with your members?] The man asked, hoping to get some interesting reaction from him.
