The Villain's Wife Chapter 534 A Frog

The Villain's Wife 534 A FrogHong Kong

Today, Lily was scheduled to take a lot of tests that she needed for the pregnancy. Then she asked to meet Zhou Jingren in a furniture company so they could choose the type of furniture that they wanted for their house.
"The previous furniture that you chose was already at the house. What we need is to find an auspicious date to move and we are all set." Zhou Jingren said as he eyed the table that Lily was touching.
"Mother said next week is good. If we can finish everything next week, then… I am good. So far… I don't like to renovate anything in the mansion. I feel like… there is something really nice in its structure. It is unique." Lily answered, her eyes were on the table that was made from mahogany. She slowly placed her hand on top of the furniture. "I like this one. But I am looking for Chinese Rosewood."
"Look… ever there. I think that's rosewood." Zhou Jingren pointed at one of the furniture that was displayed inside a glass box. "That should be one of their expensive pieces."
Lily smiled as she pulled her husband to see the furniture. Unbeknownst to them, this interaction was witnessed by Xuan Hui. When he saw that Lily and Zhou Jingren are walking his way, he immediately walked in the opposite direction to avoid the couple.
He let out a deep sigh as he reached his car. He was about to open his car when he saw his reflection on the window. Another sigh escaped his mouth. His eye bags seemed to have become bigger and darker. His once handsome face was long gone and was replaced with what looked like a middle-aged uncle.
He tried to ignore the pang of sadness in his heart as he boarded his car and drove away from the furniture house.
Qin Fei had been very demanding lately. He always knew that she is always like this, but Xuan Hui's problem is the fact that his own wife seemed to suspect his every move. She would follow him around, making sure that she does not interact with another woman. She would check his phone and computer every night and would listen to his calls!
The worse is Qin Fei had actually abandoned her responsibility as a mother and as a businesswoman. She seemed to have forgotten her identity when she offered to become her husband's secretary. While he thinks that this is a bit toxic, Xuan Hui understood that this was all because of him. Qin Fei does not trust him anymore.
He broke his wife's heart, and now he needed to suffer the consequence of his actions. Xuan Hui's lips thinned into a grim line when she thought of Lily's smiling face. Lily seemed so happy as she touched the table. Her eyes seemed to sparkle under the gaze of her husband. She looked more beautiful than the last time that she saw her. She looked loved and… just happy.
Sometimes, Xuan Hui would wonder if he loved the wrong woman. Surely, his life would be different now if he loved Lily, right? Surely, he would look like the handsome Zhou Jingren being pulled by her fairy-like wife as they chose furniture for their home.
When he realized what he was thinking, Xuan Hui immediately shook his head. What was he thinking? Qin Fei is his wife. The only woman that he loved. And she is the only woman that he will ever love.
He doesn't love Lily- that is something that he was sure of. However, he couldn't deny that he envied her. She was smart and ruthless. She is strong and confident. She is the exact opposite of the woman that Xuan Hui loved.

"Weak," Chen Shi scoffed when she eyed the article released by an entertainment tabloid. "Too careless and naive. Did she really think that no one would know she seduced her own CEO? Pathetic." Anyone who saw Chen Shi's disgusted face right now would say that they don't know this person. Her elegance and kindness seemed to vanish into thin air as she sneered. "Did you tell her that this is not our fault? She should solve this matter on her own."
"Yes. I already did." Chen Luan shook his head. "She is too young. Maybe she is a little good when it comes to her actions, but this… this is too easy."
"Hmph!" she threw away the tabloid towards Chen Luan. "I don't want to read it anymore! Did you hear anything from Ron? Do we know anything about that institution where Jun Liang imprisoned my daughter?" she asked. In her mind, Demi was not a mental case. She was only like that because she was broken-hearted.
She believed that this is but a phase in every woman's life. Surely, every woman's heart had been broken at least once, right?
"Negative. I am asking our people to follow him around. He is in India now but will soon fly back to Singapore in a few days. I hope by then… Ron will have the chance to talk to him." Chen Luan answered. "How about Lily? Are we going to give up now that Qiao Qiao's reputation is already damaged? She would not really believe if we tell her that we are still going to sign her, right?"
"Wrong." Chen Shi said. "That woman is naive. She will believe everything that is coming from me. I heard that the young CEO is planning to introduce her to his parents?" He nodded in response. "Well… I understand why Qiao Qiao does not like to announce this relationship even though they already have proof. I mean… look at that CEO. He looks like a frog in a hot water." She snickered. "Now… Qiao Qiao will be forced to marry a frog." Her laughter echoed inside her study.
"I was really surprised that she chose to seduce that man. Oh, well… his family has a little influence on the entertainment industry. I guess that was the reason why she did it."
"Still…" Chen Shi gave a mocking laugh. "He is a frog."
