The Villain’s Wife 600 Complicated Things
"I was originally planning on proposing tonight," Qin Chuan uttered.
"But we ruin it." Qin Yuanfeng snorted. He turned towards Lily and as expected, Qin Chuan’s words were not enough to remove the smile on her face. Qin Yuanfeng already knew what was coming. He shifted his gaze towards his father.
"Then... please don’t contact me again. I don’t want to see you anymore." Lily’s said calmly. She then stood from her seat and look at Qin Chuan. "This is a case of pure stupidity. I don’t want to associate myself with stupid people."
"You — " Qin Chuan didn’t continue his words when Lily started walking away from him. His face turned serious. He could not understand why Lily would react this way. Maybe a proposal is wrong, but it didn’t happen. So is it really worth cutting their relationship like this?
Qin Yuanfeng’s sigh brought him out of his stupor. He watched as disappointment laced his son’s eyes. "Don’t tell me..."
"I am going." Qin Yuanfeng interrupted him. "We made mistakes in the past. Let’s learn from it. Instead of succumbing to our own emotions... let’s think about the effects of our actions instead." He stood from his seat and strode out of the restaurant to catch up to Lily.
With his huge strides, Qin Yuanfeng easily caught up to Lily. He stared at her side profile for a few seconds as he carefully thought of the words that he would say.
Maybe it was harsh, but the truth is, Qin Yuanfeng is not really that affected. He does not care much about his father and the only reason why he is still seeing him is that Lily and Zhou Jingren urged him to.
There was a time when Qin Yuanfeng felt a lot of emotions. He felt so much that he became numb. Then he felt nothing. He does not sympathize with his father and the only person that he sincerely wanted to get close to is Lily and Zhou Jingren.
A sigh left his mouth. He decided against comforting Lily. Qin Yuanfeng is not very good with words and he feared that he will say the wrong thing.
"Zhou Jingren is still with George. I already book a ride." Lily uttered. She eyed the descending number at the elevator and clenched her jaw.
Qin Yuanfeng nodded. "Are you — Are you hungry?" He was supposed to ask if she was alright. Yet, in the end, he chose to change his words. Lily was a smart woman. Surely, she will not let something like this ruin her mood.
"I will eat at home," she uttered.. The duo left the elevator with Lily’s bodyguard and walked towards the ride that she booked.
"Do you think I overreacted?" Lily asked the moment the car started moving. She eyed Qin Yuanfeng that was sitting next to her.
"I think... emotions are complicated things. I can’t really say if you overreacted or not since I didn’t know what you felt at that time." Qin Yuanfeng answered. He carefully laid out his words, hoping that it won’t make Lily more irritated.
"Fair enough," Lily leaned against her seat. She closed her eyes and let out another sigh. Her mother’s death and that accident caused her countless nightmares. It is only normal for her to react this way.
After all... her mother died protecting her.
"I will investigate that woman." Qin Yuanfeng said. He watched Lily’s eyes fluttered as she nodded at his words.
The ride towards the Mansion was clouded with ominous silence. The siblings were in their own worlds as they thought about the past and what could happen in the future.
Lily’s thoughts however differ greatly from her brother’s. Her gut is telling her that something is definitely wrong about Qin Chuan and Su Ma’s meeting. The similarities of how Qin Chuan and Bec met and how he met this Su Ma was not some coincidence.
Or maybe it was a coincidence. Maybe it was really fate that brought the two together. Maybe it was destiny.
Lily snorted at her own thoughts. She does not believe in coincidences and by now she was sure that in her life, coincidences does not happen.
...
Zhang Residence.
Chen Shi instantly furrowed her brows when she heard Chen Luan’s news. She looked at Qin Yuanfeng’s file in front of her and narrowed her eyes at the similarity that the man has with Lily. This alone is enough to irritate her even more. "Can’t we find someone that works in the Facci Group? Maybe someone working under him? Seducing a man like this could be quite challenging. However, it will be worth it in the end."
"Unfortunately, this man is very... for the lack of terms... Irrational. His behavior is unpredictable. He is antisocial and does not attend gathering outside of work. He is also very silent and is always looking at his computer as if his life depended on it."
"Men like these should be very easy to handle." Chen Shi uttered. "He does not have friends and is not close to anyone. They just need a little attention and affection. Any woman could do that."
She eyed Qin Yuanfeng’s image and sneered. "Can’t we just pay someone to seduce him? Everyone has weaknesses. It is so easy to get close to an introvert like this man." In Chen Shi’s mind, manipulating a man and a relationship is easy. Men are weak creatures. Give them a little skin, act weak, make them feel manly, make them feel needed and they would easily succumb to your charms.
This does not require science or complicated computations at all. To Chen Shi, men are simple. They don’t need that much effort. Just a little brain and tears and they will become someone’s knight in shining armor.
"I will try to contact more people." Chen Luan answered. "Mr. Qi and Mr. Zhou had been calling us lately. They have been asking for progress."
"Don’t answer them." Chen Shi hissed. "How about my daughter? Do we have any idea where she is?" Chen Shi was still so busy with her company and marriage that she still haven’t had the chance to meet with her ex-husband.
This issue had caused her a lot of stress and time that she was forced to agree to Qi Xia and Zhou Huifang’s proposal of working together.
