The Villain's Wife (WN)
chapter-716

"You are going to leave me?"

Once again, Xuan Hui shook his head in helplessness. "Rest, we will talk once you are well rested."

Qin Fei turned silent for a few seconds. She stared at her husband's calm expression as her thoughts started to run rampant. Seeing him ignore her, Qin Fei stumped her feet and stormed out of his office. Should she really settle for this kind of life?

When Qin Fei left, a sad smile instantly broke onto Xuan Hui's face. If given a chance, he would not hesitate to leave Qin Fei. However, he did not want to deprive his son from experiencing a mother's love. A sighed escaped his lips.

He loved Qin Fei. This was a fact that he could not deny. Despite seeing her at her worst, his feelings for her were as strong as what he felt before. Of course, the regrets were there but it was not enough to stop his heart from feeling this way.

Sometimes, Xuan Hui wondered if he was a fool. Was his heart really this stupid? How could he choose to stay with a woman like Qin Fei? He used to wonder what he saw in her. She was beautiful, sure. But that was only on the outside and he was aware of this even before marrying her.

Qin Fei was nasty, jealous, insecure and over all a crazy woman. Yet, he was still crazy for her. For a few seconds, Xuan Hui stared at the family photo that they had taken a few months back. Their smiles seemed genuine and anyone who would see the photo could easily say that they were happy, in love and content.

But, this was not the case.

Slowly, his jaws thinned as he dialed a number on his phone. He loved Qin Fei and maybe it was the right time to have someone help her. He knew she was not stable after the pregnancy with the depression and the guilt of killing her cousin and yet, he continued to let her feel this way.

He was such a horrible husband. He thought before he started talking to his lawyer.

.....

Meanwhile, the topic about Qin Fei was never mentioned again as Lily and Qin Yuanfeng enjoyed their drinks while waiting for Eliza and the others. It did not take long for Lily to decide to go ahead of them so that she could sleep.

A few hours later the twins arrived in the mansion while Lily was sleeping. Then, they left with Bei Tian to go to the club while dragging Qin Yuanfeng along with them. Since Lily was still tired, she decided not to go with them. Instead, she spent the whole night cuddling with her husband.

The next day, Lily was told that everyone had a blast at the club, partying, dancing and going home around three in the morning. Levi and Eliza were scheduled to leave the next day and knowing that they were enjoying their visit so far was good enough for Lily.

"Yang Mi, I want you to ask Qin Yuanfeng to check everything about the Harringfort Family." Lily leaned against her leather chair, her hands drumming the top of her office table. She was not planning to involve herself in the matters of the Royal Family of Luxembourg, however she just found it odd that the timing between the acquisition of Leon Corneel's company and this engagement was too perfect.

Lily could not remove the suspicion that they were somehow related. Of course, part of her knew that this might just be her hallucinations from her tendency to overthink about everything. "Do you have anything new for me?"

"Su Ma's body is still not found." Yang Mi answered. "The police are thinking that she ran away and might close the case soon. Everything was too perfect, too clean that Mr. Qin is now earning everyone's sympathy. He seems so sad from her disappearance, his people said that he is so heartbroken, he asked his people to take every photo of her inside his office and home. The photos also showed that he has already lost some weight. It is very convincing, ah."

Lily nodded. "So, she is still alive." She mused. Qin Chuan must have tortured that woman. She immediately wondered how much punishment he would give to Su Ma. "Yang Mi… I have a question."

"Hm?"

"If… a serial killer started killing r*pists, torturing them, cutting their limbs before letting them die. Would you say that the serial killer was right for punishing the r*pists? Would you forgive the serial killer for doing such things?"

"I— " Yang Mi stared at Lily's face. "Yes… I would think that the killer was right for killing the r*pist. I think he is doing the right thing by killing those people. And Yes, I believe his actions are completely forgivable."

"Hmmm… So once Qin Chuan asks for an apology. Do you think I should accept it?"

"No." She answered. "Mr. Qin is not a serial killer, killing the ones who wronged innocent people. He is hurting the one who made a fool out of him. There is a difference."

"I thought so." Lily smiled. It is always good to talk to people who she trusted the most. "Well then… once Qin Chuan calls for a meeting. Tell him, I am not ready to speak to him. Tell him, I am not ready to let him back in. In fact… I don't know if I will ever do that." She would not want to stress herself with stupid people again.

"Understood."

"Also, give me the reports that Mr. Rossi wanted me to check. I will finish everything today so we can focus on the Corneel Family and their company." Lily smiled. She needed to fix this before giving birth, she thought inwardly.
