The Villain’s Wife 313 Investing in the Future
"You are being too soft," Zhuo Jingren noted the mont Lily walked inside their room. He was sitting on the couch as he stared at the dark night outside through the floor to ceiling window.
"What do you an?" Lily instantly asked as she approached him and leaned in for a kiss.
"Your hard exterior is the exact opposite of what you feel inside," he said before he pulled Lily towards him.
"I need to change first," she said.
"I can do it for you," he answered before kissing her again. "Why did you let him go?" he asked.
"He is too weak to fight and you know that," she answered. "And I wasn’t being soft. I did what I thought to be the most logical thing to do. Plus... I’ll be arranging for him to work with both George and Jack Arison while he undergoes so therapy. He doesn’t know that I am associated with them, so he will probably think that he just got lucky. This is also my way of monitoring him and his progress."
"Softie."
"I am not," Lily disagreed. "Qin Yuanfeng was just like before. Do you expect to abandon him at a ti like this?"
"That’s what you made him think."
"Once he is sane enough, he will realize that I only did that to protect him," Lily said. "There are two sides to every coin and once he realizes that, he will eventually co to ."
"So you were thinking about profits when you planned all this?" Zhuo Jingren smiled at her. Once Qin Yuanfeng realizes that Lily helped him instead of abandoning him, he would feel grateful and in turn he would feel that he owed her for saving his life. Once this happens, Lily will gain another formidable ally on her side.
"Hacking is an extrely profitable business," she chuckled and evil gleam could be seen in her eyes. "I wouldn’t say that I was scheming behind his back. Rather... let’s put it this way, I am... investing," Lily said righteously. She always wanted to invest for the future and that is what she is doing right now. Lily laughed inwardly. Who was she kidding? Qin Yuanfeng’s talents are extrely useful in earning money, alright? Would she really let soone talented like him go just like that?
No way!
"And your father?"
"He hasn’t requested to speak with nor has he requested to return to the Qin Family," Lily answered with a shrug. "I think he just wants so ti alone for himself. I can’t bla him though. Living with people like Qin Hao and Zhang Yifei must have given him sleepless nights. It’s only natural for him to act like this."
"Why are you being understanding all of a sudden? Tell ... little wife? Are you planning on investing once again?"
"I already told you not to call ’little’!" Lily said as she playfully pinched his arm. "And you are making it sound as if I am always scheming behind soone else’s back. I only sche against my enemies alright?"
"I didn’t say that you are scheming," he laughed at Lily’s face.
"You are really underestimating ! Did you think I wouldn’t understand the aning behind your words! Hmp! You shall sleep outside tonight." She made an attempt to stand only to be pulled down by Zhuo Jingren.
"Alright, let’s sleep outside tonight," he agreed before nuzzling her neck.
"Not , idiot. Only you!"
"Well... you and . We are already one, not just in our wedding docunts but in wealth, heart, body and soul. We should do everything together no?"
"You, President Zhuo, is being shaless again. Don’t make angry or I will..." Lily made a deliberate pause as she narrowed her eyes at him. "Or I will not sleep with you for one whole month."
"Really?" he lifted an eyebrow, mirth apparent in his eyes.
"Hmmm." She nodded. "No making love, no cuddling for a month!"
"Really?" he repeated.
"Okay maybe 3 weeks?" Lily said as she glared at the man who was trying to contain his amusent. "Two weeks."
"Two weeks? Can you do it?"
Lily did not answer him as her gaze trailed to his bobbing adam’s apple down to his neck. "Maybe one?"
"One week?"
"One day," Lily said before she burst out laughing.
.....
As expected, Qin Hao and Qin Mimi couldn’t resolve the trouble they are facing with the mines. How could they? They were practically clueless on the ins and outs of the business.
"Did Father call? Does he have any news about Qin Chuan?" Qin Hao asked Zhang Yifei.
"No. Nothing. How is everything?"
"Well.... As expected, the governnt got wind of it!" he said before letting out another curse. "How did I miss this? That Lily should be dealt with as soon as possible!"
"No one can touch her in Hong Kong," Zhang Yifei resigned before she lowered her head. "Hao... I am afraid of her. I underestimated her and I truly regret it."
"Stop thinking about it. I never thought that this would happen as well," Qin Hao said before he took his seat and pondered about what Zhang Yifei said. Lily is indeed invincible in Hong Kong because of her husband. He was too engrossed in his own thoughts that he missed the sinister gleam in Zhang Yifei’s eyes.
Until now, Qin Hao was still clueless that Zhang Yifei has been manipulating him and giving him ideas because she has always been acting weak and fragile in front of him. In his mind, Zhang Yifei was too innocent and stupid to sche against him.
After a few minutes, Qin Hao asked Zhang Yifei to leave the matter in his hands and not to worry as he has co to a decision about his next course of action. Then he asked her to take a rest and leave him alone.
"Tell everything," Zhang Yifei asked the mont she closed her bedroom door. Then she faced the old man in the room who was wearing the butler’s uniform. "I told you not to find like this unless there is an ergency," she said.
"Qin Yuanfeng is dead," the butler cut to the chase. "They never found his body but we found out that he made a call to Li Ziyi before he died. There was a lot of blood at the scene and there is just no way that he could have survived."
"Really?" Zhang Yifei instantly gave the man a bright smile as she walked towards her bed. As expected, Lily did not disappoint her. She actually killed her own brother and made it so obvious so she could send a ssage to Zhang Yifei. Lily surely wanted her to know that she is not soone to be ssed with. However... this warning is useless to her, she thought as her innocent smile morphed into a sinister one.
