My Evil Genius Wife

When Han Zihao and Xu Nuan brought their little princess home from the hospital, they quickly realized that parenting was more challenging than they had expected. Every cry was a mystery, and even simple tasks like diapering and feeding felt overwhelming.

Seeing their struggle, Grandmother Han moved in with them at Han Villa. Her experience as a mother and grandmother made her the perfect guide for bewildered new parents.

With kindness and patience, Grandmother Han taught them how to hold the baby, how to feed her, and how to understand her different cries. She prepared healthy meals, ensuring that Xu Nuan had the nourishment she needed to recover from childbirth.

Night after night, Grandmother Han would take over caring for the crying baby, allowing the exhausted new parents to get some much-needed rest.

With time, Han Zihao and Xu Nuan began to feel more comfortable and confident in their new roles. They learned to enjoy the unique joys of parenthood, all thanks to Grandmother Han's steady guidance.

Despite all the books and classes, nothing had prepared them for the real challenges of raising a child. Grandmother Han's practical wisdom was their anchor during those first uncertain weeks.

It was the moment that made them see how important an elder could be in their lives. They were young and thought they could learn anything by themselves. But now they knew that having the right guidance was the key.

Grandmother Han's help showed them that sometimes, wisdom from someone older is what you need. Her love and experience helped them in ways that books and learning alone could not.

It was a lesson they would always remember.

The struggles of those early days soon turned into cherished memories, as the family grew together under one roof. Grandmother Han's presence in their home was a gift they would never forget, a symbol of love and support as they embarked on their journey as a family.

After spending a month at Han Villa, Grandmother Han saw that Han Zihao and Xu Nuan had learned how to take care of their child. She knew they were ready to manage their lives on their own.

Feeling confident that both of them could handle things themselves, Grandmother Han returned to the Han Mansion. Her work was done, and she left knowing she had given them the guidance they needed.

After Grandmother Han left, Xu Nuan and Han Zihao made a plan to take care of their little one, who is called Han Zixuan now. They named her combining both of their names as she is the evidence of their love and Zixuan also means to be cute and adorable, which she is.

To take care of their little princess, Han Zihao decided to take paternity leave from work so he could spend more time with their daughter. He couldn't possibly let Xu Nuan struggle to raise their daughter alone, especially while recovering from the aftereffects of delivering a baby.

He was taking extra care of Xu Nuan to ensure she had ample rest. He had read about postpartum depression and was doing his best to keep her stress-free and help her recover both physically and mentally as much as he could.

Most of his work was handled by his secretary, Feng Sheng. If Han Zihao needed to do something, he could do it online from home. Sometimes, Feng Sheng would come over with documents for Han Zihao to look at.

But his visits weren't just about work; he also liked to play with the little girl.

Meanwhile, Xu Nuan's work was handled by Luo Dan, who made most of the major decisions at the company in her absence. If something important came up, Han Zihao would take a look at it, ensuring that Xu Nuan's company wouldn't suffer a bit during her time away from work.

The new family was figuring things out, making it work together. Han Zihao's leave from work made it easier for them to enjoy their time with their little princess. It was a happy time for all of them, filled with joy and love for their new family member.

Xu Nuan, dressed in a floral pastel blue home dress, was sitting on the soft, cushiony carpet in the living room, dressing her baby in a comfortable pink-colored onesie. Han Zihao had just given the baby a bath, and while he went to shower, Xu Nuan took over to dress their little princess.

The doorbell rang, and Xu Nuan looked up, ready to answer it. Han Zihao, who just walked out fresh from the shower, stopped her. "I'll get it," he said and opened the door.

Seeing the same faces again, he sighed, "Didn't I tell you guys not to come again for at least a month? I'm tired of seeing you all."

His brother, Han Liang, smirked, holding a bag of soft toys. "Sorry, but I'm here as my niece's uncle, not your younger brother. Step aside."

Luo Dan, Jia Fei, and Yuhan followed, ignoring Han Zihao's grumbles.

Xu Nuan chuckled, "You guys are right on time today. She just had a bath and is awake. Play with her as you like."

Han Liang made baby sounds, "My baby is awake. How can we stay away? She's like a precious gem."

"You act like she's a museum piece," Han Zihao muttered.

Jia Fei laughed, pushing Han Liang aside to see the baby. "Well, to us, she is. Now let us see our little princess!"

They gathered around, cooing and playing with the baby. Han Zihao's grumpiness melted away as he watched them enjoy time with his daughter. The new baby had indeed brought everyone closer together.

The guests didn't come empty-handed to play with the little princess. Along with toys for the little one, like always, they also brought food to share with the couple.

They knew that being new parents, it must be hectic to cook and do the dishes. So they simply brought food with them so that Xu Nuan and Han Zihao didn't need to worry about it.

"You must not have had lunch yet, right? I'll go and arrange the dishes." Luo Dan said, heading into the kitchen to put the food on plates and set the table.

"Why did you bring so much food? There was no need for it. We could have ordered it ourselves." Xu Nuan said, feeling a bit guilty for making them go to the trouble.

Han Liang looked at her and said warmly, "It was Grandmother's idea. She wanted us to bring food with us. And she has asked you not to eat outside food, so I brought you the dishes she cooked herself. Eat those instead."

Xu Nuan sighed, feeling grateful but also a little bit like she was being a burden.

Han Zihao noticed her expression and took her in his arms, rubbing her shoulders reassuringly. "You don't need to feel bad. They're simply doing what they should be doing. If they're coming to play, they should at least bring the food, don't you think so?"

"You gave birth to our little princess; you deserve to be treated like a queen. So don't feel burdened, and enjoy this moment. Feel free to order them around." He said, smiling, trying to make her laugh.

Han Liang, who was watching them, scoffed and said sarcastically, "You sure are a great couple. You suit each other so well." He shook his head, pretending to be annoyed but unable to hide a smile. "Both of you have similar brain cells and like to bully everyone around you."

After Luo Dan arranged the dishes on the dining table, everyone gathered to have lunch, except for Jia Fei, who stayed in the living room to play with the little princess.

Yuhan prepared a small plate to share with Jia Fei and stayed with her to accompany her. He knew that keeping her well-fed was essential to avoid any hunger-induced mood swings.

At the dining table, Xu Nuan looked up at Luo Dan, tasting the dishes made by Grandmother Han. "Is everything alright at the company? Did you make the arrangements for the future projects of The Knights, as I told you?" she asked.

Luo Dan hesitated and then nodded, her lips pursed. "Everything is fine. I'm doing what you asked."

Xu Nuan noticed her discomfort and said, "Do you think you can lie to me? Speak out. What happened to make you look like this?"

Han Zihao started to interrupt, but Xu Nuan cut him off. "Do you think I can't handle work while raising my baby? Am I this fragile in all your eyes?" she asked, her voice turning cold, silencing everyone.

Luo Dan cleared her throat and finally said, "Well, there is indeed a little problem at work. But it isn't a big deal. I'll handle it."

Xu Nuan frowned. "Tell me what it is. Now!" Her voice grew even colder.

She understood Han Zihao's care for her but didn't like to be treated like fragile porcelain all the time. She knew her limits and wouldn't overdo her work, but she also needed to be kept informed.

Her strength and resolve were evident, reflecting her determination to balance both her family life and professional responsibilities.
