The Villain’s Wife 712 Spoiled

Unedited.

..............................

Lily didn’t mind Eliza’s dampen mood as she finished her food. She was here to eat, ah. She would never let someone’s mood affect her current appetite.

"The lesson is to look at the things that you cannot see from the surface," Lily said after Eliza continued asking her about her opinions and thoughts about things. "There are two sides to every coin." She said before she finished a glass of water. Lily leaned against the chair, she was really too full and sleepy, she wasn’t too sure if she could still accompany Eliza shop.

Eliza nodded at her words before she sighed inwardly. Despite Lily’s stories, Zhou Jingren, Secretary Go, and Yang Mi still had a very blissful meal. Everyone looked really satisfied with their food, except her. Slowly, her lips lifted into a smile. True, she was not able to enjoy her food. However, she was still able to learn a very good lesson from Lily.

As expected, she would harvest a lot of lessons from this visit. She looked at the slight smile on Lily’s face. The more she interacted with Lily, the more she respected and admired her.

"We should leave and start shopping before I fall asleep." Lily’s words made everyone chuckle. She eyed her husband, "Are you going back to Zhou Capital?"

"Hmmm. I have another meeting at one."

"Oh! Unfortunate." Lily beamed. "I guess, I will see you tonight? Dinner? Tell Chef Yang, I want some seafood."

"We are having some vegetables tonight." Zhou Jingren uttered before leaning down to kiss her. "I will settle the bill." He added, not letting her speak. "You go ahead and have a nice shopping." Standing, Zhou Jingren did not wait for Lily to argue about their dinner. He immediately gestured for Secretary Go to follow him.

A small smile easily broke on Lily’s face. She shook her head, amusement apparent in her eyes. Zhou Jingren is really caring and she is loving it. For some reason, seeing him impose some rules on her food is making her feel giddy inside.

A part of this was because Lily always liked to control things. Letting someone control this small aspect of her is... refreshing.

Not long after Zhou Jingren left, the group also decided that it was time to leave as well. Eliza was still excited about shopping while Lily was in a hurry to go home so she could sleep.

"Alright," Lily said. "I will let Yuanfeng go with you. My back is starting to hurt." Lily said after visiting a few stores. Slowly, Lily could already feel the changes in her body. She gets tired easily and her back is starting to hurt especially after walking so much. The doctor said that it was because her spine is supporting the growing fetus inside her.

"Why me?" Yuanfeng said. "I am not very familiar with the place." He frowned. That— and he promised Zhou Jingren not to let Lily out of his sight.

"Then... Yang Mi will guide you two. Yuanfeng and I will get some refreshments. Text me once you are done." Lily’s words immediately earned the approval of Levi and Eliza. After all, everyone is already aware of Lily’s current condition.

"I want some... milk tea." Lily immediately said after sitting down. They chose to stay in a coffee shop that is pretty known in the city.

Qin Yuanfeng only gave her a stern look before shaking his head. Again, he wondered, how could Zhou Jingren know that Lily will try to demand something like this today. Is it possible that Zhou Jingren can read Lily’s mind? "No. I will get some tea for you." He said before he called the attendant.

Seeing this, Lily only let out a chuckle. Her husband... Zhou Jingren is so thorough, he must have warned Qin Yuanfeng ahead of time, prompting the latter to decline her request. "Oi, Yuanfeng. Did you forget that I am your sister?" Lily asked. "How come you listen to Zhou Jingren more than me?"

Ignoring her question, Qin Yuanfeng only shrugged and completed his order. "This is good for you." He answered. Was it so obvious that Zhou Jingren told him these things beforehand? Did his reaction made Lily guess Zhou Jingren told him to watch over her if he was not around?

He sighed inwardly. Maybe being a spy is not really for him, he thought.

"Lily Facci Zhou... what a coincidence."

Both Lily and Qin Yuanfeng turned their heads. "Qin Fei." Lily eyed the other woman who was following Qin Fei around. "It is nice to see you." she smiled.

"You gain wait." Qin Fei sneered. "Good for you." She eyed the man sitting opposite to Lily. "It seems that your man spoiled you, a lot."

Lily immediately lifted an eyebrow, not missing the sarcasm in Qin Fei’s voice. Surely, Qin Fei knew who Qin Yuanfeng was. Moreover, the fact that they looked almost identical was a dead giveaway that they are brothers and sisters. Smiling, Lily nodded at her and three women behind her. "You seemed to have lost a lot of weight."She smirked. "Does this mean that your husband is not spoiling you these days?"

Qin Fei’s face immediately turned red from Lily’s words. She balled her hand into fists as she composed herself inwardly. "My husband wanted me to look beautiful." She answered. "And I honestly would not want to gain some weight and make him look at other women." She uttered. "Correct me if I’m wrong but... I always thought your husband was Mr. Zhou from the Zhou Capital, right?"

Lily immediately fought the urged to call Qin Fei stupid. "Yes. He is indeed my husband." Just like Qin Fei, Lily’s voice was a little louder this time.

"But... this— " Qin Fei hesitated, unease apparent in her face as she turned towards the woman next to her. She eyed Qin Yuanfeng again before she turned towards Lily and smiled.

Qin Fei does not need to say something for Lily to know her real goal. Eyeing the socialite accompanying Qin Fei, Lily immediately guessed that they have been watching them for a few minutes now.

As expected the woman is still as dense as ever.
