The Villain’s Wife 496 Aikido
"Don’t laugh," Lily could feel her blush working up its way to her neck. She grabbed the cookbook from the counter and throw it in the trash. "Please don’t laugh."
Of course, this was futile. Zhou Jingren already burst into laughter. It was low and quick. His eyes sparkled as he looked at her burning face. "How could you be this beautiful?" he asked, amusent laced his tone.
"Stop it," Lily said. She wanted to pretend that she was serious as Zhou Jingren stood in front of him. It did not work. Not long after, Lily burst into a puddle of laughter. Her embarrassnt vanished as if it was never there in the first place. "Alright... maybe cooking and I wasn’t ant to be."
"Let’s hire soone." Zhou Jingren’s hands caressed her cheeks. He then lifted her chin, eting her eyes. "Rember, the Chef from the orphanage?" he asked. He didn’t wait for Lily’s answer as he leaned down to kiss her.
"You’re drunk?" she asked when the sll of alcohol assaulted her senses.
"Not really, I had a few drinks with the clients. Don’t worry, Jichen drove ho." He smiled, his eyes trailed its way down to her nose then into her lips. It lingered for a few seconds before he stared at her eyes. ��Let’s hire soone to cook and take care of the house. For now, concentrate on having enough rest and... martial arts." His voice was low and soft. It was enough to make Lily smile.
"Alright," she nodded as she wrapped her arms around her neck. She then tiptoed and kiss him. "I’m hungry," she uttered. In response, Zhou Jingren lifted an eyebrow.
"Really?"
"Not that, dummy!" she laughed. How could she miss the desire in her husband’s eyes? "I want food. Actual food! I’ve been shopping for the entire afternoon. I am honestly, hungry."
"Oh!" a gleam of disappointnt flashed in his eyes. "Then... how about I make you sothing?" He eyed the various ingredients on the counter. "Beef?" He then opened the two top buttons on his shirt and started washing his hands. "Do you want to eat a specific dish?"
"Burgers." Lily blurted, earning the latter’s attention. "I want so chicken and burgers."
"You want to order, instead?"
"I think that will be quicker." She answered and pulled him towards the living room. "I have been exhausted. I just want to cuddle." She walked towards their room.
"You should have just stayed at ho and rest. I could easily buy what you need." He looked at her dotingly. "Shopping is really exhausting."
"Hmmm..." Lily nodded before dropping onto the bed.
"Alright, you stay here. I will call so deliveries and change." Zhou Jingren leaned down to kiss her forehead before going to the closet to change his clothes.
Seeing him disappear into the closet, a smile instantly blood on Lily’s face. Just how lucky was she to have a man who loves and dotes on her like this?
She stared at the ceiling for a few seconds. No matter how strong she was, Lily could not deny that she needed this man. In just a few months, Zhou Jingren is already a part of her life.

The duo woke up early the next day to exercise and for Zhou Jingren to teach her martial arts.
"You know... sotis, I think it’s better if I learn how to shoot first." Lily blurted as she started stretching.
"Why is that?"
"Well... If I am really good with guns. I could just shoot a person before they could even approach !" she bead. In response, a low chuckle escaped Zhou Jingren’s lips. "So you are going to teach Aikido?" she asked.
"Yes. I think its defensive capability is good for you. I already asked Qin Yuanfeng to have a practice match with you after a week. So you should— "
"What? A week?"
"Don’t worry... he is not that good." A smug smile hung on his lips. "Alright... let’s start with elbow control."
Since the two were busy practicing, both of them did not bother checking their phones. Lily was so engrossed in learning that she even forgot to check the news on her tablet- a thing that she always does after waking up.
When the two finished, it was already seven in the morning.
"I think... You need to carry out of this room." Lily laid on the floor, her face glistened with sweat. "I can’t walk."
"It’s your first day. It will get better tomorrow." He said as he scooped her into his arms.
"I feel like my arms are damaged. I think I broke sothing."
Her words only t Zhou Jingren’s laughter. He shook his head at her antics.
In just a few quick strides, the two arrived in their room. Both imdiately furrowed their brows when they realized that both of their phones were ringing.
"What’s wrong?"
"Is there any problem?"
They answered their phone and their furrowed deepened.
"Really?" Lily eyed Zhou Jingren. "An actress, huh?" As expected, Zhou Jingren also eyed her. "It’s alright. You don’t have to do anything." She ended the call almost at the sa ti as Zhou Jingren.
"So..." A smile dangled on Lily’s face as he walked towards him. "They have linked your good na to an actress."
"You know it’s not true." He answered. "I already asked Jichen to remove the news from the trending."
"Don’t remove it," Lily said. "President Zhou... it seems that the world has forgotten that you are already married. Should I... asked Fernando to create a custom necklace for you that says you are already mine?" she narrowed her eyes at him.
"You can do that." Amusent flashed in Zhou Jingren’s eyes. "I think... it is best that you stop working from your company completely and just act as my secretary so you could follow around every day." he laughed.
"President Zhou... I can do that even if I am not your secretary." her eyes crinkled as her lips lifted into a smirk. "Do not let Jichen do anything about this matter. Just let it be. We are not so celebrities. Our nas do not depend on rumors like this."
"I want to see who is behind this," she added before taking off her gym clothes and walking towards the shower. "Co.... take a bath with ," she added.
