My Evil Genius Wife

In the luxurious lounge of the five-star hotel, a high school reunion party was being held. The jazz music was filling up the place and the clinking sound of wine glasses were resonating in the spacious yet dim lighted room. 

While everyone was talking and catching up with each other by recalling the old stories, Luo Dan was sitting on the couch in the corner and was looking at everyone nervously.

Even after achieving the title of Epitome of innocent beauty by her fans and the public, she was still feeling nervous and hesitant in this gathering. 

She didn't want to come here but Jia Fei told her to attend the party like a boss and ruin everyone's so-called ego with her blinding beauty.

Well, she was being dramatic like always. But as she said, she did her best to dress up today and wore a sleeveless black dress that was hugging her body perfectly. Although it was too much for her character, she still did as Jia Fei said. 

The dress was reaching above her knees and to match the vibes, she was wearing her hair loose. 

She didn't want to overdo her look so she was wearing minimalist accessories to compliment her dress and the evening party look. 

Today she was hoping to blow everyone's mind with her looks but when she came to the party, everyone's glances made her uncomfortable instead. 

Even though she is sitting among everyone, she feels like the loneliest person on this planet. Everyone has someone that they were glad to meet after so long but was it the same for her too? 

Well, the answer is no!

The people who are being polite and nice to her now are the same people who laughed at her for her looks back then and loathed her. 

So this is what stardom feels like? Fake compliments and jealous looks. 

While she was watching everyone being fake and giggling at each other's jokes, a man walked to her and stood in front of her, startling her, " Luo Dan, why are you sitting here like this? Why aren't you drinking anything?" 

The man dressed in a black tuxedo smiled at her and picked up a glass of red wine from the table and passed it to her, " Here. Drink this. A beautiful lady shouldn't be sitting in the corner like this, empty-handed."

Luo Dan hesitated but after he insisted, she gave in to him. 

The man sat beside her and looked at her from up and down, checking her out. " You look quite different now." He said meaningfully. 

" If I had known before then that you would become this beautiful in the future, I wouldn't have rejected you like that. That was hilarious, I never thought that you would seriously write a love letter to me."

" Like who does that?" he laughed thinking that it's the funniest story in the world.

But it wasn't a funny incident for her. 

Although the man is now smiling at her and talking to her like a friend, he is the same man who humiliated her in front of everyone back then. 

She still remembers the day vividly when she was in school and after deep thought, she gathered her courage to finally confess her feelings to her crush, that is him.

When in school, Luo Wuying was the coolest guy in the school who used to be a dream of every girl. His good looks are to be blamed. 

Although they were not close in particular, his passing gentle actions made her think differently towards him. Maybe she had watched too many romantic movies that she started to think that confessing was the right thing to do at that time. 

On Valentine's Day, when everyone was giving flowers and chocolates to each other, she also put a box of handmade chocolates and a letter under his desk when he went to the washroom. 

  She didn't dare to give the letter to him face to face. So she used the old-school method and wrote a heartfelt letter to him. 

The next day when she went to school, she could feel her heart beating loudly against her chest. 

'Did he read the letter? Is he going to give me the response today? What would it be?' Just like any other teenage girl, she was excited and nervous at the same time about her first-ever confession. 

However, as soon as she reached the entrance of her classroom, she could hear other students laughing and hooting loudly. For some reason, she could feel her heart sinking in. 

She carefully walked in with a serious face and halted in steps when everyone stopped laughing as soon as she walked in. They glanced at her strangely and started whispering something to each other. 

Their mocking expressions were terrifying to think of even until this day. 

" What's...happening? Why are you staring at me like this?" She asked cautiously, wondering the meaning behind their gazes. 

However, that's when her eyes fell on the letter pinned up on the notice board in the class.

  Her eyes widened to see the letter that she had written to Luo Wuying had been pinned on the notice board to see for everyone like an announcement. 

That's when she realized that they were laughing at her letter. No...in reality, they were laughing at her, Her!!

When she moved closer to the board, a line was written on the letter with a red pen in bold letters, [SORRY. I DON'T LIKE UGLY GIRLS.]

Even before that, she was living with the tags of fatso, ugly, nerdy girl and whatnot. However, she tried to ignore all of that and still made that attempt to confess her feelings which turned her into a complete loser in the school. 

That incident gave her a huge inferiority complex regarding her looks. She even went on a strict diet and did her best to lose weight to fit into the so-called beauty standards of the society. 

After she got into QY Entertainment and managed to become a trainee there, Jiang Yue helped her to get the confidence again so that she can perform on stage with no fear. 

But now when she is here again, among the same people who made her school life hell, she couldn't help but feel her hands go cold out of nervousness again. 

_

Seeing their laughing faces, she couldn't help but think of that very day when they were laughing at her. 

" Luo Dan, How come you have become so pretty? Did you do anything to your face?" A girl asked while laughing. 

" It must be makeup. Makeup is like magic which can change one's whole face. However, I prefer to stay natural and appreciate my natural skin."

" Oh My, Luo Dan, it must be good to be an idol. You guys earn money without doing anything."

" Exactly!! We work all day and night to earn a living and they become rich just by performing on stage and using their looks." Someone commented. 

Luo Dan didn't say anything and was listening to their so-called polite comments. 

This was it. She was expecting something like that from them. 

'I shouldn't have come here.' She thought. 

She wanted to avoid this gathering at all costs but if she had not come today, she knows that she would still be the center of attraction of this gathering. 

Moreover, she wanted to try and face her fears to forget about the past. 

However, it's not easy to change people and their cheap mentality. How can she expect them to change for the better even after long years? 

_

During the whole party, Luo Dan barely touched any food or drinks. It was too suffocating to stay there any longer. 

When it was time to leave, Luo Wuying stood up in front of everyone and said, " Since everyone managed to spare some time out of their busy schedules and come to the party today, I want to be the one to treat everyone."

" Also, Luo Dan, thanks for coming to the party. I am glad that you didn't reject me as I did to you back then." He laughed and continued, " In that case, will you allow me to drop you back home after the party?" He asked in front of everyone. 

Luo Dan was left speechless at his shamelessness. How can he even ask her that question? They're not even that close, not after what he did to her at the least. 

However, before she could say anything, everyone started shouting and cheering up for Luo Wuying. " Of course she will." 

" She loves you after all, Hahaha."

" Oh, stop it. That's so embarrassing." People laughed about it, thinking about the same incident. 

Luo Wuying didn't wait to hear Luo Dan's response and turned to the waiter, " Get me the bill. I will pay for tonight's party." He announced again proudly while raising a glass of wine to everyone. 

The waiter glanced at everyone awkwardly and said, " Sir, you don't need to pay. The bill has been settled already."

" Hmm? It has been paid? Who did?" He asked awkwardly. 

" I did."
