Chapter 552 Red Lips and Perfectly Curled Hair

Lily only smiled when she heard Yang Mi's words. As malicious as it may seem, Lily actually agreed with Yang Mi. Qiao Qiao deserves it. "Ask someone to bring me more fruits." She said. Lily does not need to think about Qiao Qiao anymore. "Ask someone to watch Yu Jing's moves."

"Yu Jing?" Yang Mi asked. She always thought Yu Jing was just someone who Qiao Qiao used and manipulated. So why do they also need to watch that man?

"Hmmm… in fact. I want you to call Jingren and tell him to watch everyone in the Yu Family." She uttered as she stifled a yawn. "Tell them to bring the fruits to my room." She rose from her seat and walked towards their master's bedroom. Lily felt exhausted.

'This is proof that talking to a brain-dead person will exhaust you' she uttered inwardly and yawn.

After a few hours of sleeping, Lily woke up and decided to enjoy the rest of the day pampering herself. So she prepared a nice hot bath and decided to read a book as she enjoyed the jacuzzi.

"President," Yang Mi's soft voice made Lily frowned. She clearly told her that she does not want to be disturbed unless it's Zhou Jingren or it's something important.

"Come inside," she said and put her book at the caddy tray on the tub. "What is it?�� she shifted her head to look at the frowning Yang Mi.

"Someone is insisting to see you," Yang Mi's brows were creased, she pursed her lips. "I already told her that you are busy. She still insisted that she will wait until you are not busy. She said this has something to do with the community in The Peak. I already made some research about it and knew that this is mainly composed of wives of the people living in this place. It was like a club of married women living here."

"Who is this?"

"Jiang Ruo of the Yu Family. She introduced herself as the President of the community." Yang Mi sneered. "Forgive me President but I have to disturb you and tell you about this matter. The woman was pretty insistent on telling you. I feel like… It was as if… she needed something."

"Yu Family…" Lily uttered. "Alright… since she wanted to wait… then let her wait." She sighed. Why do people keep on disturbing her?

Then slowly, Lily's eyes widened. It was as if… she just had a Eureka moment. She then grabbed her phone on the caddy and dialed Zhou Jingren's number.

"I just had the best idea." She said excitedly.

"Hmmm?" His gentle voice reached her ears. "What is it?"

"Did you know that the word Pac came from the Latin word that means peace? Or to agree?" she asked. "My point is… this is where the word the Pacific Ocean came from. It was said that Ferdinand Magellan named it the Pacific Ocean because it was a peaceful ocean."

"He was wrong." He answered.

"I know!" she retorted. "That is not my point."

She heard Zhou Jingren's deep chuckle. Lily immediately pouted. "Listen to me."

"I am listening."

"There's this… group of islands in the Pacific that is a part of Micronesia. Its call the Marshall Islands. It's a group of small islands. Have you heard about it?"

"Hmmm. I did. Why?"

"You know… I was just asking." Lily actually thought that living on a small island alone would be very good for them. However, now that she thought about it carefully, it has its own negative side too! While people could not disturb them anymore, it will be very hard for her to move around for her business!

She can't just spend her life on an island and leave her business alone. "I — I was asking because I thought, you didn't know." Like a candle losing its light, Lily felt that the enthusiasm that she felt earlier vanished.

"I have read about it." Zhou Jingren answered. "You are bored?"

"A little." She sighed. "I want to work."

"You still have to wait."

"I know." Her baby is already eight weeks. She still needed to wait for another month before she could move around more. She let out another sigh. "Are you busy?"

"I am having a meeting."

Zhou Jingren's words immediately made her speechless. Meeting? He answered her nonsense call when he was in a meeting?

"Oh… then I end the call now. I will see you… later?" Once again, Lily heard Zhou Jingren chuckle on the other line.

"Alright…" she added. "I love you."

"I'll see you later. I love you more."

After the call ended, Lily could not stop herself from giggling. If her guess was right, the man must be sitting in front of his subordinates while talking to her.

"Hey Yang Mi?" she eyed the woman standing by the door wearing her signature black suit. "Do you think… I am a spoiled wife?" she asked.

"Yes."

"…"

Lily widened her eyes for a few seconds. Before she burst into a puddle of laughter. Yang Mi didn't even batting an eyelid before she answered her.

"But you deserve it." Yang Mi continued, her face was stoic. In response, Lily smiled and nodded. 

"Grandmother trained you well." She said before she gestured for her to leave the room and tell that Jiang Ruo to wait for her. Since that woman wanted to wait… then let her wait.

And true to her words. It took Lily over forty minutes to finish bathing. Then another ten minutes just to pick up a delicate dress. Another twenty minutes to fix her hair and makeup and finally, ten more minutes in taking the right picture that she could send to her husband.

For Lily, the last step was very crucial. She needed to send her husband those photos to entice him to come home early. Because of this, she took another five minutes in sorting through the photos on her phone.

Then with her red lips and perfectly curled hair, Lily marched out of her room and into the terraces wondering if the woman was still there waiting for her.
