The Villain's Wife

Chapter 630 Sad Reality


Chapter 630 Sad Reality

After seeing Madam He, Lily went back to Zhou Jingren's office as they had agreed to go home together.

"So? Do you like my gift?" Lily beamed as she watched Zhou Jingren open the huge box filled with neckties. "I want you to wear one every day." She said while staring at the amusement in her husband's eyes. "You know… as a reminder."

"Reminder of what?" He asked, amused at her statement.

"That I own you?" She folded her arms across her chest before chuckling. "So? Do you like it?"

"You know I do." Zhou Jingren smiled at his wife's playful grin. "I will wear anything you want."

"Good." She nodded. Her gaze trailed down to his exposed neck underneath the unbuttoned shirt. "So… how about you wear one now?"

"What do you mean?"

"You know… " Lily laughed. "A tie would look good on you." She leaned closer. Using a finger, Lily touched his neck, dragging her hands down, towards his chest. "Even if…. It's the only thing that you are wearing."

He chuckled. "Ties are versatile little things. There are a couple of ways to use it. Aside from putting it on my shirt."

Lily responded with a soft giggle. She stood next to him, her hands sliding towards his strong abdominal muscles. She leaned closer, her lips just a few inches away from his ear. "Now that I think about it… we really have a good headboard. Though… I'm not sure if it's durable enough."

He raised an eyebrow as he turned his head towards her. "Do you want to try it out?"

However, before Lily could answer him, a knock on the door echoed, instantly interrupting their sensual atmosphere.

"What is it?" Zhou Jingren hissed. After a few seconds, one of the twins walked inside and bowed.

"We received a box outside that is addressed to the madam. We have already scanned the box. It is safe. It also comes with a bouquet of flowers and a card." Since that fire, one of the things that Zhou Jingren added to the mansion was a scanner that is able to detect bombs or other harmful chemicals that came inside packages. He then instructed everyone to always use this in case someone sends them gifts.

"And it's for my wife?"

"Yes, Master."

"Then… we will go down to see it." Zhou Jingren said. He then watched as the man left the room without saying anything.

"What a waste." Lily smiled at him. In response, Zhou Jingren let out a sigh.

"I will change. You can go ahead and check out your gift." He kissed her forehead before walking towards their closet. 

A sly smile appeared on Lily's lips. She narrowed her eyes at the door as she thought about this gift. How dare the sender interrupt her moment with her husband? She then walked out of her room to check out this gift.

When Lily reached the living room, the small black box that was about the size of a cup caught her attention. It was laid next to a bouquet of various roses. "Please throw the flowers away." She looked at one of the twins standing by the door. "You are…. Lin Luyang?"

"Yes, Madam." Lin Luyang nodded before following Lily's orders without asking any questions. Seeing him put the flower away, Lily approached the box. That bouquet was full of fragrant flowers that would surely trigger her allergies. She could not risk getting sick while being pregnant.

She eyed the card that Lin Luyang had left. It was from the bouquet. Slowly, Lily opened the box and instantly frowned at the gold bracelet inside. Who would dare give her this? She read the card and instantly, her frown deepened.

"Who's it from?" she heard Zhou Jingren's voice echo behind her.

"Gannon Liu," Lily uttered. The man was thanking her for buying him a tie. He even included a photo of him wearing the same exact tie like the one that she bought for Zhou Jingren. "Apparently, the man wants to thank me for buying him a tie. So he gifted me a bracelet."

Zhou Jingren sat beside her. He eyed the note in her hand and chuckled. "Doesn't suit him."

"I know." Lily nodded. "I wonder… does he want to sow discord between us?"

"That is pretty obvious." He nodded and grabbed the handwritten note from Lily's hands. "Luyang… throw the card away and donate this bracelet to a charity or something." He uttered.

"Yes, Master." Once again, Lin Luyang followed Zhou Jingren's orders.

"That man… seems to think that a simple note can break us apart." He gave a cold chuckle. "How silly."

"Well… I did see him earlier. But don't worry about it. Someone else will take care of it for us." She grinned. Madam He's love for Gannon seemed unfathomable. There is no way that she will leave Gannon now after all the things that Lily told her.

A woman like Madam He only wanted to be happy. She wanted a thrill. She wanted to be appreciated, to be taken cared of. Just like most women, Madam He only wanted to be loved. These were the things that she found in Gannon's arms. So… why would she let go of something that made her happy?

"You are talking about that Miss Xun?" he asked as he curled his arms around Lily's waist, pulling her into a hug.

"Yes. Isn't she a pitiful woman?" Lily asked. "She is so fragile. She is planning to divorce her husband so she can marry Gannon Liu."

"Be careful and take care of yourself. I don't want you to interact with unstable people like her. They can be dangerous when provoked."

"Of course." Lily smiled. "I am not provoking her. In fact… I am keeping her as a friend." A vicious woman whose weakness is her emotion was equivalent to holding a ticking time bomb. However, just like every time bomb, when used right they are fatal to the enemy. "You know... what's sad?" Lily asked

"Women like Madam He are quite common. They easily get blinded by love and give their everything to the first person that shows them affection." She sighed. As sad as it may seem, this was a reality.
