My Evil Genius Wife

Han Liang pursed his lips together to see Luo Dan awkwardly sitting there even after he passed her his jacket to cover her legs. Watching a movie while sitting on a couch cum bed was not a good idea after all. 

" It's uncomfortable, right? Let me change it into a couch again.." He chuckled awkwardly before standing up to adjust the couch again. However, before he could get out of the couch cum bed, Luo Dan moved forward and placed a hand over his to stop him from getting up, " You don't need to. It's comfortable like this." 

" Ah? Are you..sure?" Han Liang was stupefied to hear her words. She was clearly not comfortable, then why would she….

While Han Liang was trying to process his thoughts, Luo Dan could feel her cheeks getting hotter. She was indeed uncomfortable about the whole situation, but it was not what Han Liang was thinking. 

More than him turning the couch into a bed, she was more worried about them watching a movie in this state. They're alone in this house, not only the room but being present in such a small-closed space together, she could feel her heartbeat getting faster by every minute. 

All the fanfictions that she had read in the past with Jia Fei, the scenarios from those fanfictions were rolling in her head like a movie. If it would have been those fanfictions, this is a perfect time and place for some daring action in terms of Jia Fei's language. 

Such thoughts were making her face turn red. 

'Luo Dan, get your grip. Were you always dirty-minded like this or have you become like this because of Jia Fei's influence?' She scolded herself inwardly to not think nonsense and act like a mature person and be cool about it. 

Yes. She is an adult and it's better to take things lightly and not read too much into them.

'It's just a movie after all. Also, he adjusted the couch into a bed to watch the movie in comfort, that's it. And even if it's his house, they're simply here to stay away from the eyes of the public. It's not like they're doing anything.' She took a deep breath and decided to go with a flow. 

She noticed Han Liang staring at her in confusion and was waiting for her answer, " Yes. You don't need to change it into a couch again. It's comfortable like this." She said and raised her legs and stretched them on the couch cum bed and covered her exposed skin with his jacket that he had passed her earlier. 

" Let's watch the movie now." She said with a smile and urged him to start the movie already. Although she was trying to be cool and chill with this situation, only she knew how hard it was for her to say such words. 

Her ears were red and could even feel her neck becoming hot. What kind of strange feeling is this? She wondered. She was feeling such exhilarating emotions for the first time and they're just too overwhelming for her to ignore such change of emotions.

Han Liang was caught off guard to see her smiling like this and freeze on the spot for a second. How can she be this beautiful while smiling? 

The words of Xu Nuan kept running in his head like a movie reel, " Be a man and ask her out. Ask her out…" He nodded and decided to hit the iron when it's hot after the movie. 

Even if she rejected him, it's better to be bold and confess his feelings to her. He can't always act like a coward always.

The movie finally started and the room fell into complete silence - only the sounds coming from the television could be heard. 

Han Liang had chosen a romantic comedy movie as he had read that girls like the rom-com genre the best. He carefully glanced at her to see if she is enjoying the movie or not and smiled upon noticing her immersed in the movie and smiling while watching it. 

She was watching the movie and he was watching her - Perfect Movietime. 

However, the next moment he saw her expressions stiffening and the smile slowly disappeared from her face. He frowned and turned to the television screen, which made him freeze on the spot. 

The scene has changed from a romantic scene to something more passionate and…provocative. The main leads were kissing passionately on the bed and the male lead's hands were exploring the female lead's body as if carving a sculpture using his hands. 

The uncomfortable- awkward silence fell into the room to see such a passionate scene going on in the movie. Wasn't it just a rom-com? Why is it so erotic? He gritted his teeth and gulped nervously. 

The tension in the room was also high and this scene was making him even more nervous. 

Both of them looked around to avoid looking at the TV screen and waited for the scene to pass away naturally. However, it was more than just a kiss scene when the male lead started to undress the female lead by unbuttoning the female lead's blouse - making the scene more steamy and passionate. 

Han Liang glanced at Luo Dan carefully and cursed under his breath to see her looking around awkwardly. He grabbed the remote control and fast-forwarded the hellish-torturing scene and laughed, " It was getting boring. I don't know why they put such boring scenes in a romance movie." 

Luo Dan smiled awkwardly and said, " Well, maybe because it's a 19+ rated movie." 

"....."

"Huh?" Han Liang stared at her in confusion. How does she know about that? Even he didn't know about that. 

" Ah, it showed in the disclaimer at the beginning. Didn't you see it?" She explained noticing his confused expressions.

"I…didn't." He stuttered, feeling embarrassed for not checking such things before selecting the movie. "Who sees all of these things?" he laughed, trying to hide his carelessness. 

"I do." She answered monotonously. 

He pursed his lips and nodded in embarrassment. Very Well. 

He rubbed his neck awkwardly, " I selected to watch this movie because my friend has acted in this movie and told me to watch this one as it's a good rom-com movie. So I thought why not watch it with you. It's better than watching it alone. " He laughed awkwardly, not knowing what the hell he was saying. 

Luo Dan raised her brows upon hearing his words and controlled herself from laughing it out loud. It wasn't a big deal as it was just a movie but he was explaining as if she had accused him of something. 

" Your friend? What kind of role did he play in the movie?" She asked a question and changed the topic to ease the tension in the room. 

He sighed in relief when she changed the topic and answered with a smile, " AH, She is the female lead in this movie. Yan Ju. She is a great actress."

" However, I didn't know that it's a 19 rated movie. Haha. Why did she even ask me to watch this movie?" He laughed, feeling how he was pranked by her. 

"Do you also know her? She won the best female actress award last year." He asked in curiosity. Since Luo Dan also belonged to the same industry as him, there were high chances of her knowing Yan Ju. 

Luo Dan's expressions stiffened as she tried to control her emotions but couldn't help herself but comment, " So….it was a girl." 

She thought that he was talking about a male friend of his but never expected that his friend would be a girl. 

Not only did he make her watch the movie that his 'girl' friend suggested to watch but also, the one with 19+ ratings? If her memory works correctly, she remembers seeing a news article of him and the actress Yan Ju involved in some kind of dating rumor some time ago. 

  For some reason, she couldn't control her facial expressions and sat there while wearing indifferent expressions for the rest of the movie. There wasn't any relationship between them for her to be upset like this, but it wasn't a pleasing emotion for sure. 

Seeing her not saying and watching the rest of the movie with pursed lips and frowning expressions, made him realize that something is wrong. 

"..."

At that moment, he knew that he messed up. After that, she didn't even glance at him, forget about speaking to him. 

'Did….I do something wrong?' He wondered in confusion, while glancing at her sometimes while watching the movie and could feel the strange atmosphere in the room. 

What just happened?
