The Villain’s Wife 644 Logic
The Peak
"The more you know, the more you realize you don’t know." Lily read aloud before she closed the book and turned towards Zhou Jingren. "This ans that I have yet to master a lot of things. And I am perfectly aware of that." Lily held her head high. She had been having this ’discussion’ with Zhou Jingren for a few minutes now and she was not planning to give up any ti soon. "All I wanted was to eat sothing spicy."
"I told you. Spicy food will cause heartburn. I did my research. You can request any other food aside from spicy ones."
"But I want to eat spicy chicken wings." She furrowed her brows. "The fact that I don’t know this information should be enough reason for you to let eat so of it."
"What kind of logic is this?" he raised an eyebrow.
"The right kind of logic."
Zhou Jingren shook his head helplessly. "Yeah... No."
"But the doctor said... the only bad thing was having too much of anything! I only want five wings." She declared and smiled when she saw Zhou Jingren’s frown deepened. "Alright. Maybe three?"
Lily continued. "Alright! Two! I want two spicy chicken wings!" This was not a request. This was a demand. However, for so reason, her husband was not budging at all. It seed that not many threats work against this man anymore.
"One and we’re good." He answered. In his defense, he knew how painful acid reflux was. Spicy food would only increase the chances of acid reflux. How could he let her experience this? As expected, Lily pouted. She folded her arms across her chest.
Narrowing her eyes at Zhou Jingren, Lily said. "Alright... I will have one and I will sleep on the floor. The cold and lonely floor. All alone."
"Why would you sleep on the floor?"
"If you let have two. I will sleep on the bed with you. That’s it. No more negotiations. I am hungry and tired."
"Then I will sleep on the floor with you."
Lily widened her eyes. How could this man be so unreasonable? "Alright. I give up. I won’t eat. I am not eating anything until you give two spicy chicken wings."
"Then... let’s starve together."
"You— " Lily almost could not believe her ears. Fury shot inside her. "You— You are unreasonable." Seeing Zhou Jingren just stare at her with the sa gentle expression on his face, Lily decided to give up. "Okay. One wing then." She said in a low defeated voice.
"And you are sleeping on the bed?" he raised an eyebrow.
"Yes."
"Good." A sly smile appeared on his lips. He stood from their bed and walked out of their room to get what Lily needed. After a few minutes, Zhou Jingren ca back with a tray so they could have their dinner in their room. "You are becoming really spoiled." He uttered as he started putting the food on the table. "I might just spank you one day."
Lily instantly burst out laughing. She walked towards the table. Stepping on her toes, Lily raised her head to kiss him. "You are the best husband in the world."
"Hmmm. I know. You are one lucky woman." He smiled. "I am hungry. We wasted too much ti in our negotiations." Lily responded with a low chuckle before she rolled her eyes.
The duo then started eating. After dinner, Lily spent a couple of minutes watching the news from her tablet while Zhou Jingren finished working on a few docunts. "Hey... Tomorrow is a holiday. I think we should go and visit my grandmother’s house."
"Tomorrow... You have to choose which clothes you will wear for the awards night. Then we can go to Grandmother Ye’s house."
"Oh! The awards night is the day after tomorrow. I almost forgot about it. What are you planning to wear?"
"White."
"Then... I’ll wear a red gown." She bead.
After Zhou Jingren was done with his paperwork, the couple decided to sleep early.
......
Lily woke up to the sll of butter on toasts. She scrunched her nose before she opened her eyes.
"Do you know that you still drool while sleeping?" Zhou Jingren’s face was so close to hers she could see the specks of gray in his irises. She imdiately opened her mouth to fire back only to receive her husband’s kiss, imdiately making her swallow her words.
"Good Morning, beautiful." He bead as he leaned in to kiss her forehead.
"Go away."
"I brought breakfast."
"Leave breakfast here and go away." She uttered. What kind of man would tell his wife about their drool? She does not drool alright? Maybe sotis but not always.
"And you snore a lot too."
"Stop it." She hissed, irritated.
"But... I still love you."
"Stop it!" She pulled the blankets to cover her head. This Zhou Jingren was making her embarrassed. She felt heat crawling up her neck. She knew she was turning red. For so reason, she was blushing! "Go away!"
Her words only made Zhou Jingren laugh. "Co... let’s have breakfast so we could leave as early as possible. It would be nice to have lunch at Grandmother Ye’s house. Plus it is about to rain."
Lily responded with a groan. She wanted to say no and pretend to be angry. However, the way Zhou Jingren ntioned her Grandmother Ye’s na made her smile underneath the blankets. This man... he sure knew a lot of ways to coax her.
With the sa smiling face, Lily and Zhou Jingren started their breakfast as they talked about the current events in the business industry. After all, it was very important to have a vast knowledge of these events as this might affect the world market and ultimately their businesses.
The couple left the mansion around eight thirty so Lily could get the gown that she will wear for the awards. Lily decided to choose the best one this ti as this would be for Zhou Jingren. Just the thought of standing next to him was already making Lily extrely proud.
