The Villain's Wife Chapter 463 A Manipulative Old Man

The Villain's Wife 463 A Manipulative Old Man"Hey,"

"Hi," Lily smiled at Zhou Jingren the moment he went inside her room. "I guess you won?"
"Did you really doubted me?" He approached her as his eyes trailed towards her red dress. "You look beautiful."
"Thank you, you don't look too bad yourself." She gave him a nod of approval.
"Let's go?" Zhou Jingren asked as he held Lily's embroidered shoes. Lily nodded, a beautiful smile dangled on her face as she watched him put on the shoes on her feet.
..........
After getting Lily, the couple went to meet their parents in one of the temples in Kowloon to perform a short ceremony that ended with Lily and Zhou Jingren bowing to each other.
Then the reception began. It wasn't a big reception as Lily only invited their close friends and family members. Of course, Lily also invited her relatives from Luxembourg. The reception was short, sweet, and fun. That was the theme that Lily wanted.
They drank teas with the guests and received their gifts. The reception also ended with a firework that everyone enjoyed.
"Are you tired?" Zhou Jingren asked Lily. They were already on their way back to the sky city. "It was a long day."
"Hmmm." She nodded. "I am sleepy." Lily felt Zhou Jingren held her hand as she closed her eyes and leaned on his shoulders. Not long after, Lily drifted off to sleep.
When Lily woke up, she was already in Zhou Jingren's arms. "Let me down." She said, relief flash over her when she realized that she had already changed from her red gown and was now wearing a red shorter, and more comfortable dress.
"It's alright. We're almost there." He answered as he gestured towards the elevator door. As if telling her that they were already in the elevator, anyway. "Good thing, Bei Tian and Yuanfeng already decided to move out." He uttered. In response, Lily laughed.
Her brother's social skills had been showing some signs of improvement lately, thanks to Bei Tian's help. Of course, the two still keep on arguing because of their differences.
The *DING* from the elevator brought Lily out of her thoughts. "You can put me down now." She said. However, Zhou Jingren ignored her as he marched towards their room, carrying her like a princess.
Lily only shook her head before she laughed. "I feel like a princess."
"You are a queen, not a princess," he laid her into the bed.
"I need to change."
"Let me do it for you." He said. "Would you like me to prepare the tub for you? Maybe soak yourself in before you sleep? It will make you feel better."
Lily looked at Zhou Jingren as he slowly peeled her dress. "Thank you," she said, pulling him on top of her. "Do you want to take a bath with me?"
..................
When Lily woke up, it was already noon. She immediately got dressed and went out of their room only to hear her stomach grumble from the smell of food in the kitchen.
"What are you making?"
"Steamed dumplings." He kissed her lips as he gestured for her to sit at the counter. "Also made some chicken and broccoli."
"Hmmm… I am such a lucky wife." She beamed as she rested her elbows on the counter.
"I know!"
Lily giggled. "How long are you going to spend some time before going back to work?" Lily and Zhou Jingren decided not to do their honeymoon right now. Instead, they decided to just stay at home and spend more time with each other while cuddling and watching movies.
At this point, traveling is not Lily's priority. All she wanted is to have him by her side. Moreover, they can easily travel whenever they want to.
"Two weeks." Zhou Jingren answered. "Of course, I can still extend that- "
"No, that's fine. I can always accompany you to your office and maybe become your secretary for a day."
He chuckled in response. "You are not suited for the job."
"What are you talking about? I am highly competent and responsible."
"I know... that's why being a boss will look good on you. "
"Hmm... so what's our plan for today?" she asked.
On that day, Zhou Jingren and Lily decided to go to mainland China to visit his parents. However, before they could even leave the sky city's premises, they were flooded with reporters, blocking their car and asking for an interview about the Lee Family.
"What are they talking about?" Lily asked, her brows knitted. She shifted her gaze at Zhou Jingren who was already answering his phone. Seeing this, Lily decided to open her tablet to check out any news involving the Lee Family.
Zhou Jingren already informed her beforehand about the fact that Isaac Lee wanted to include him in his will. However, she never really thought much of it.
And what she saw made her speechless. Lily narrowed her eyes at the current trending business news. It was the press conference where Isaac revealed Zhou Jingren as his grandson. A public apology was also issued. The news immediately created waves and waves of questions from the people.
If Zhou Jingren was his grandson… then who was Zhou Jingren's mother? And where is she now?
Lily stared at Zhou Jingren's side profile. The news did not include Zhou Dae Un's name as Isaac Lee's daughter. Surely, the old man already calculated everything. This created a mystery that made the media curious, prompting them to dig more into Zhou Jingren's private life.
Lily shifted her eyes back to the reporters who are now escorted by the security.
"I think our lives are more colorful than the life of most actors and actresses in the spotlight," she uttered, a mysterious glint flashed in her orbs.
Zhou Jingren nodded before he sighed. He ended the call and informed Lily about what happened.
"Well... we can't blame him. Now that his daughter is back, imagine all the profits that he could get if his company will have solid ties with Zhou Enterprise and Zhuo Capital?" Lily said as she shook her head.
What a manipulative old man, she thought.
