The Villain's Wife (WN)
chapter-548

When she saw Jiang Ruo's face turned ugly, Qiao Qiao instantly smirked. She opened her mouth to add more insults but was interrupted when one of the security grabbed her arm. "What are you doing? Hey! This is assault!!! Let me go!"

She tried to scream and kicked one of the security personnel, but it was futile. She was easily overpowered by the security and was dragged out of the mansion.

"Let me go! Or I will sue you! I will sue the whole Yu Family for treating me like this!" She yelled. "I said... LET ME GO! Aw! You are hurting me! Let me go, you — you filthy creature!" Her voice echoed as two burly security personnel dragged her out of the venue.

Then Yu Jing can be seen running after them, leaving his crying mother at the party.

"I was expecting something more lively," Lily whispered towards Zhou Jingren. "I should learn how to lessen my expectations. Or I will always feel disappointed. It is not a very good emotion." Lily and Zhou Jingren started walking out of the Garden.

"She will not give up." Zhou Jingren said. "I can always handle her for you." He uttered. "I don't want her to give you any more problems." He held her hand and brought it towards his lips. After kissing the back of Lily's hand, Zhou Jingren continued. "Just say the word."

"Brute." She chuckled. "Can you let me enjoy the show for a while? This is more fun than watching some dramas online."

"Do you even watch those?"

"Of course." She smiled as the soft breeze danced towards them. She lifted her head to look at the moon that seemed to light the pathway in front of them. "It is a very nice night." She uttered. For Lily, every night with him is actually wonderful. But she chose not to say this out loud. "Why don't we… walk towards the house?"

"Are you sure?" he glanced at her shoes and nodded when he remembered that Lily was not wearing high heels. "Do you want me to carry you?" he asked.

"Like piggyback?"

"You are wearing a dress." He laughed at the excitement in her eyes.

"Oh! Yeah… you are right. Then it's fine. I'll walk, not a big deal. It's not that far, anyway. Plus, this is an exercise for me which is very good for my body at this point. And the fresh air is pleasant too. Of course, my feet won't hurt. I wore pumps! I know this — Ah!" Lily let out a soft scream when Zhou Jingren suddenly scooped her up, carrying her like a princess.

"Put me down." She said. They were still in the mansion of the Yu Family. What if someone sees them like this?

"Yeah… right." He chuckled and leaned down to kiss her lips before he started walking. "It's not a long walk."

"I am heavy," Lily uttered softly. "I am getting fatter."

"You are still beautiful."

"I know!" Lily beamed and met his eyes. "I just wanted to hear you say it." Her mischievous grin turned into soft giggles as the duo walked out of the mansion gates. Surprisingly, Qiao Qiao was no longer outside. The couple immediately assumed that Yu Jing and Qiao Qiao left the mansion together.

After what happened tonight, it would be very hard for the two to start over. After all, Qiao Qiao already said what was really on her mind. Surely, her words hurt Yu Jing, right?

Of course, Lily knew that this matter is still uncertain. After all, a man in love is fairly blind to the flaws of the person that they love. Take Zhou Jingren for example. Lily was greedy and petty and yet, he still thought this is cute and would even support her! Isn't this the classic example of the quote 'love is blind'?

Not that she was complaining. Lily loves this side of her husband and she knew she would love this side of him forever.

"Hey! Do you remember when we went to Japan, and you carried me towards the temple?" she asked, her eyes glued to the moon on top of them.

"Hmmm." He nodded. "What about it?"

"We should do that again," Lily said. "This time… you carry me and our child."

"Why do I have to carry both of you?"

"Because you love us, duh." She playfully rolled her eyes.

"Junior people need exercise. Just let our child walk while I carry you." He said, his face stern. "That is perfectly reasonable."

Lily widened her eyes at him, but she said nothing and shifted her gaze back to the moon.

"Hey… Do you remember when we fell into that cave? And I fainted?" This time it was Zhou Jingren. He glanced at Lily's face that was illuminated by the street lights. Her eyes sparkled as it reflected the crescent moon.

"Of course! You fainted because I agreed to marry you. How can I forget this? All of our children will know this story."

He laughed. "I knew you would say that." He stared at the road leading towards their mansion. "At that time… I really thought I would die. But I was happy I get to die in your arms."

"Cringe," Lily said and laughed. "You are such an enormous man and you say such cringey things."

Zhou Jingren only responded with a low chuckle. For a few minutes, they chose to stay silent and enjoy the breeze that was sweeping the trees, making sway under the moonlight. For a summer night, the breeze was cold enough to make the duo comfortable.

"I have a question," Lily uttered after a few minutes of silence. She can now see the iron gates of their mansion.

"What is it?"

"Do you believe in heaven?" she asked.

"I don't know." Zhou Jingren shrugged. He lowered his head to look at her, "Why do you ask?"

"Well… what if heaven doesn't exist?"

"Then… I'll walk through hell with you." Zhou Jingren answered without batting an eyelid. "In fact, I'll walk anywhere with you." he smiled.
