The Villain's Wife Chapter 780 Comfort of their Home

Chapter 780 Comfort of their Home

Unedited
.............
Secretary Go could only nod his head in silence as he thought about Riku's stern smile and straight posture. He never thought the man would really betray Zhou Jingren because of his sister's fate. However, he could understand the man's reasoning behind it.
No matter what happened, she was still Riku's sister. She might be stupid and careless, however, at the end of the day, she was the only living relative that she had. So Riku, betraying Zhou Jingren to try to find his own sister is somewhat understandable. However, understanding the man's reasoning is different from sympathizing with him.
Secretary Go had no sympathy for people who would dare betray the people who practically fed them as they grew up. After hearing Zhou Jingren's words, Secretary Go immediately made the call. Since this had been planned last night, it was easier for him to organize everything in a short period of time, after all, Zhou Dae Un's men and Zhou Jingren's people were already on standby, waiting for them to erase the remaining people who supported the Inagawas.
The verdict was short and bitter. The Tanaka will once again win while the Inagawa will lose.
Now, Riku's only regret was actually betraying Zhou Jingren and losing the last chance of him seeing his sister, who was still in Zhou Jingren's hands.
What a sad ending to a pathetic life, Secretary Go thought.

Zhou Jingren already expected Lily to interrogate him once they see each other. He was expecting her to ask tens of questions about Bei Tian and the people behind the attack. What he did not expect was for her to actually cry in his arms the moment he arrived in her office.
There was no how are you's, no I love you's or that I was worried about you's. There was only her warmth in his arms. Zhou Jingren held Lily tighter as Zhou Dae Un and everyone else excused themselves. He then lifted her up as they sat into the couch with her on his lap. "Stop crying, it might affect our child." He said gently.
Lily immediately wiped the tears in her eyes. "Who's crying. I was only faking it in front of your mother." She sobbed. Why would she cry? There is no need for her to cry!
This made Zhou Jingren chuckle. Shaking his head, he held Lily closer to his chest. "I am safe as well as Bei Tian. There is no need for you to worry anymore."
Lily glared at him in response. She never expected that seeing Zhou Jingren would actually make her this emotional. She immediately blamed this action on her pregnancy.
"What? Are you regretting that you married me?"
"And If I do?"
"I will make you un — regret it." He smiled before he started stroking her hair. "You look too cute when you are crying. I think I should start making you cry every day."
"I will kill you," Lily uttered before snuggling into her husband's arms.
"You should probably stop saying harsh words like that. They said babies can hear their parents talk. We don't want our child to know that you are this kind of vulgar woman, right?"
"Stop teasing me."
He laughed in response. In between having a heavy atmosphere and light ambiance, he would always choose the latter.
"I was worried about you," Lily said after a few seconds of silence. Just thinking about all the possibilities in her mind was enough to make her go crazy about wanting to see him again. "I miss you." She added.
"I'm sorry."
"You should be!" Of course, she understood why Zhou Jingren never told her anything while he was miles away from her. "At least… let me know that you are safe next time." She gently added.
Zhou Jingren nodded before pulling her closer into another tight hug. "I'm sorry."
"Stop apologizing," Lily said. "Show it next time."
"I know." He said.
"So? Are you going to tell me anything about it?"
"Not here."
"Alright." Lily nodded and continued leaning against her husband's arms, feeling his muscles move as he wrapped his arms around her and listening to the man's heartbeat.
"I was expecting that dealing with the Inagawa clan would take some time. Turns out… Su Mingyu had the guts to deliver herself to us." Zhou Jingren said before he started telling Lily about everything that transpired in Zhou Capital.
"So… she wanted to accuse you of sexual assault too?" Lily scoffed. "How bold."
"She is very bold. Which was surprising to me. I was wondering what could have triggered her reaction. Something must have made her come to the office alone."
"Or…" Lily made a deliberate pause. "She just wanted to see if she could seduce you."
Her words only earned a low chuckle from Zhou Jingren before he gave a small shrug. "Probably. Any woman would want to see if they are capable of seducing me, no?"
"Too bad. I already own you." Lily said calmly. "Of course… since I am not a jealous person, I am very much open to things like this. I would even let them try to seduce my own husband. With the condition that they die if they don't succeed. "
"That sounds very generous of you, Mrs. Zhou." He chuckled.
"Of course… everyone knew how calm and generous I am. I should become a model for all wives. Calm, generous, and not jealous."
"You forgot murderous."
"Oh! That too…" Lily said. However, the absence of mirth in her voice was enough to tell Zhou Jingren that something is still bothering her. It must be the accident, he concluded.
"Would you like to go home?" he asked. Zhou Jingren just wanted a safe environment to tell Lily about everything that happened. To be honest, after knowing about the spectre, Zhou Jingren wanted to be more careful about his words.
She nodded in response. In front of her husband, pretending is actually not an easy thing to do. Or her husband just knows her too well.
Either way, she completely understood why Zhou Jingren wanted the comfort of their home for this conversation.
