The Villain’s Wife 274 Lover Boy

"Put her over there," Lily said as she pointed to Li Shanshan’s bed. They are currently in Lily’s previous apartment. This is where Li Shanshan would stay every time she was in Hong Kong. Lily then eyed the man who was carrying Li Shanshan.

A while ago, when she asked Zhuo Jingren to help carry Li Shanshan, this man was quick enough to do it for him. Since Lily does not want to disturb Li Shanshan any further, she just let the man carry her until they reached her old apartment. Seeing Li Shanshan resting safely in bed, Lily instantly ushered the two men out of the room as she changed her friend’s clothes.

"Look at you... so smelly," Lily thought out loud as she changed her friend’s clothing. This was actually not the first time that Lily had to do this for her friend. She wondered when will Li Shanshan would realize that she is damaging no one but herself by doing this.

After making sure that her friend was clean, Lily left the room and was surprised to see the man still there and was looking at Zhuo Jingren with a very strange expression on his face. Meanwhile, Zhuo Jingren was also staring at the man with his usual cold expression. "What is happening here?" Lily asked. She could already smell soup simmering in the kitchen. If her guess was correct then the ever proactive Zhuo Jingren had made something for Li Shanshan to eat to settle her stomach once she finally woke up.

"Why are you still here?" Lily asked the man with her brows furrowed.

"Aren’t you even going to thank me?" the man smirked at her. "You know I remember you, right? You live directly above my place here in Hong Kong."

"How much do you want?" Lily instantly asked. To Lily, the best way to thank someone was by throwing cash at them, of course.

"I don’t want money," the man said as he walked towards Lily, however, Zhuo Jingren was quick enough to block him. The two men were once again sizing each other up , creating a tense atmosphere.

"Leave now," Zhuo Jingren said shortly.

"What is your problem?" the man said as he tried to extend his neck to look at Lily. "I was talking to her. Why are you being disrespectful?"

"I said leave!"

"Yeah.... Father," the man chuckled before he rolled his eyes. Then he looked at straight to Zhuo Jingren and said, "I am not going to sleep with someone who looks like me. Now... move. I want to talk to her."

"Make me," Zhuo Jingren challenged, unfazed with the man’s change of behavior.

"Alright. Enough of this," Lily let out a sigh before stepping out from behind Zhuo Jingren’s back. "What do you want?" she asked the man in front of her as she crossed her arms in front of her chest.

"Oh... you know what I want! Why the hell do you look like me?" the man asked. Lily only furrowed her brows. She remembered meeting this man before. He was named Qin... something.

"You are drunk," Lily sneered. She could smell the alcohol on the man’s breath. "If you want to talk to me then wait until the alcohol is no longer your system."

"I want to talk now. And Call me Qin Yuanfeng," Qin Yuanfeng uttered.

"Well... Mr. Qin out of more than 1.3 billion Chinese people in the world, it is normal for people to run into someone who looks like them. Just like cards. Shuffle them too many times and at one point you will get the same card dealt to you twice."

"Bullshit," Qin Yuanfeng cursed, instantly making Zhuo Jingren walk in front of Lily again. His eyes instantly turned towards Zhuo Jingren. "You are so troublesome. I already told you not to..."

"The next time you curse in front of her I will wring your neck, and trust me... no one would even know that I did it," Zhuo Jingren said. His tone was calm but his words were cold enough to send shivers down anyone’s spine.

"Alright... lover boy. I won’t do it again," he said before he extended his neck to look at Lily. "Stop lying. The cases of those look alikes came from a certain number of genes that contribute to establishing things like facial structure, eyes and nose. Meaning that these people are relatives, people who share a little bit of DNA with each other. Some of these people are also of the same ethnicity. However, a case where a man and a woman who look exactly alike but are unrelated is something that no one has ever heard of. I am not a pure Chinese and neither are you. Judging by your looks I would conclude that we are of the same age. Our eyes are the same color and so is our hair", Qin Yuanfeng explained.

Seeing Lily’s dumbfounded look, Qin Yuanfeng continued, "Because of modernization, people have mated with other people around the world, so having someone who resembles you is highly likely. But... that dimple on your left cheek makes it impossible to deny the fact that we are somehow related, if not... twins."

Qin Yuanfeng then suddenly touched his chin and tried to look at Lily again. "The probability of us being twins is very likely as I know I was born with a twin. However... this confuses me. You are clearly someone educated with a good background, whereas I was told that my twin was nothing like who you are." He furrowed his brows before he looked at Zhuo Jingren.

"A handsome man..." he deliberately hesitated as he looked down at Zhuo Jingren’s fingers. "A husband who was staring at me like he wanted to kill me minutes ago and is now trying to protect his woman from my eyes. You guys are hiding something," he then used all his might to push Zhuo Jingren away from Lily. His eyes instantly met with her familiar light brown ones. The uncanny resemblance between them was making him a little giddy. Qin Yuanfeng then gave Lily a smile as he asked,

"Tell me, woman... Are you Qin Jinghua?"
