The Villain's Wife (WN)
chapter-789

"You do know that Luxembourg has the highest density of Michelin starred restaurants in the world, right?" Qin Yuanfeng uttered as their plane started to descend.

Lily raised an eyebrow. "Are you trying to tell me to try all the Michelin star restaurants in the City." Lily was talking about the city of Luxembourg, the Capital of the country. She had long heard about this fact from Zhou Jingren and was in fact thinking about eating in some of those restaurants.

"No." He shook his head. "Was only saying it, in case you didn't know." Qin Yuanfeng said. "Do you know how to speak Luxembourgish?"

"I'm sorry, what?"

"Luxembourgish, their official language." He clarified.

"I thought they spoke French and German?"

"Most people there can speak at least four languages. Including English, German, French and Luxembourgish."

"Impressive." Lily said as she thought about letting her kid learn all those languages. "I can speak business French and German. Of course that only includes good morning and simple stuff not enough for an everyday conversation." Lily said. "I know you can speak a lot of languages but I don't want you to show it."

"You mean…"

"Let them think that you can only speak and understand English."

Qin Yuanfeng stared at Lily for a few seconds before he nodded. "Alright." He immediately understood Lily's motive. He then turned his attention outside of the plane as it slowly came to a full stop. "We are here." He opened his phone. "Jingren said—"

"Shhh." Lily smiled, her eyes went towards the attendant that was approaching them.

"Madam, Mr. Weber had already previously arranged a ride for you and Mr. Qin. Prior to our landing we tried to call them multiple times. Please wait for a few minutes." The attendant gave a sweet smile as Lily nodded.

"Thank you."

The attendant quickly excused herself.

"Mr. Weber is Mikaela's husband." Lily said. "He is an earl who owns a castle. A literal castle in the Eastern part of Luxembourg. Mikaela said that he also owns a business class service for this airport. So he offered to arrange a ride for us."

"They are late."

"I know." Lily smiled. "Let's wait for five more minutes before I call Mikaela." Lily opened her phone and started playing candy crush. Seeing this Qin Yuanfeng also opened his laptop and started working.

Lily might have let him come to Luxembourg but he still needed to work for The Facci Group to be able to receive his salary. Of course, Lily was not forcing him to do this. Lily had generously given him a few shares that were worth millions. He could actually live off the rest of his life without even working just by receiving the returns from the shares every year. However, Qin Yuanfeng was adamant on learning the ins and outs of the business simply because just like Lily, he too was Lilian's grandson.

Business was a part of their DNA.

After a few minutes, the attendant came back to inform them that they tried calling but were routed to the voicemail.

"What time is it?" Lily asked.

"Ten Thirty five." The attendant answered.

"Alright, then." She gestured for the attendant to leave them.

"They are waiting for us to join them for lunch?" Qin Yuanfeng said. "If this continues then…"

Lily only responded with a smile before she dialed Zhou Jingren's number. "We are at the airport. Please send the private ride. Alright. I will call you later. I love you." It was a good thing Zhou Jingren already arranged a private ride for them.

"Someone wanted us to be late." Qin Yuanfeng's face darkened.

"I am a threat to the Royalties, Yuanfeng." Lily then narrowed her eyes at him. "But so are you."

It was as if lightning had struck Qin Yuanfeng's brain. "You are saying…"

"The Grand Duke offered to introduce me as a Royalty but not you." Lily smiled. "After all, I am a woman. A business woman's whose net worth is almost half as much as this country's GDP. Do you think… I would want to sit on a throne, bound by rules and laws of Royalty?" Lily made a deliberate pause. "But you my dear brother… are different."

"You know that… and yet you decided to come in here. If these people murder us…"

"Then Zhou Jingren will raise hell. George will destroy this countries market and Bei Tian will murder them. Plus… we have a sociopath of a father." Lily chuckled. "I think… we have quite a strong backing, don't you?"

"You— "

"Of course, I will make it clear that we don't have any interest in the throne." Lily rose from her seat when she saw two black Mercedes coming their way. "Tell the captain we are using Jingren's private ride instead." Lily ordered the attendant before she turned towards her brother. "Unless… you want to become a Grand Duke in the only Grand Duchy State in the world?"

"Eh? What? Of course not!"

"Then good." Lily said. "Since both of us have no intention to rule from inside a castle then… we should make it clear the moment we meet them." Lily only wanted to eliminate the hatred before it even started.

The two then unboarded the airplane and went directly towards the ride that Zhou Jingren had arranged for them. Smiling, Lily immediately thought about the faces of the people who wanted her to be late today. Surely, they knew that this petty scheme would not work against someone like Lily, right?

"So the ride towards the Grand Ducal Palace is about thirty minutes." Qin Yuanfeng said. "We were scheduled to arrive at eleven so we could join them for lunch. Whoever arranged this whole thing is dumb."

"I know." Lily laughed. Did they think they would be able to outsmart her husband? Speaking of Zhou Jingren… Lily let out another chuckle. Zhou Jingren was using another method to get into the country. She could not wait to see him later on in the day.

Yawning, Lily closed her eyes. The time difference is really going to mess up someone's body, she thought. "Wake me up when we are about to arrive." She said calmly as if someone hadn't just tried to scheme against them the moment they arrived in the country.

This only made Qin Yuanfeng sigh.
