BXBX NOVEL Chapter 677 Smart Young Master
The Villain’s Wife 677 Smart Young Master
Lily’s lips thinned before she let out a sigh. The logic behind Zhou Jingren’s words was undeniable. Now that she thought about it carefully, she had been obsessing over her brother’s nature lately. The urge to control and manipulate was the underlying reason behind this behavior. Lily instantly concluded before she opened a book that her husband just gave her about motherhood.
"You know... your brother needs a sister." Zhou Jingren continued. "Not a mother."
"Yeah. I know." Lily responded with a gentle smile.
....
After the conversation, Lily decided not to try and change or force Qin Yuanfeng into something that he was not comfortable with. However, this did not mean that she stopped showing him all the twists and turns in business. After all, she was adamant on having him help her manage the company when he was ready.
"Today is a holiday, so I decided to invite everyone to a small pool party." Zhuo Jingren said as she sliced the tomatoes for Lily’s salad. With his apron on, he continued to slice all the vegetables for his wife.
"Everyone?"
"Hmmm. Yang Mi and Go Jichen as well as Yuanfeng and Bei Tian."
"Oh! Bei Tian is back?" Lately, Bei Tian had become so busy that Lily rarely saw him. She couldn’t even remember the last time that they talked in person.
"Yes. He will stay for two days before going back to Europe."
"Oh!." She nodded and watched as Zhou Jingren gave her the salad before removing his apron. He then got a fork and ate a spoonful of Lily’s salad as he sat next to her.
"I already asked Chef Yang to prepare something for the barbecue later. The weather is not as hot as before and it is not very cold either. It is just perfect for an outdoor get together."
Lily nodded in response. She then started eating her salad before following Zhou Jingren out to prepare the grill. Before lunch, Yang Mi arrived followed by Yuanfeng then Go Jichen and Bei Tian.
"Hey... Yang Mi... I was surprised to see that you came here before Jichen." Bei Tian beamed. "Are you two arguing?"
"What are you talking about?" Yang Mi frowned as she glared at Bei Tian who was sitting at the wrought iron chair a few feet away from her. His languid posture and Hawaiian shirt paired with the smug smile on his face instantly made Yang Mi irritated. "Please mind your own business." She said as she turned her head away.
"Oi! Jichen... Look at her." Bei Tian continued. "You are not in a relationship yet and you are already making her angry. Say, do you need some lessons from this young master?"
A snort escaped Secretary Go’s lips. "Thank you for the offer, Young Master Bei but... considering that I have been in more relationships than you— I would rather pass. It is best for Young Master Bei to spend his time interacting with women instead of trying to teach an experienced master like me on how to treat women."
"Hah?" Bei Tian laughed. "Jingren! Look at Go Jichen being so smug about sleeping with two models. Oi... Yang Mi... did you know? This Jichen— "
"Halt!" Go Jichen held his hands. "This is not relevant. Let’s mind each other’s personal life."
Seeing Yang Mi’s face turned sour, Bei Tian instantly let out a victorious laughter. "Lily... let me ask you something..." He turned towards Lily who was watching her husband grill the meat for them. "Yang Mi is skilled in martial arts, no?"
"Hmmm. She is." Lily smiled at the silly smile on Bei Tian’s face. "She is extremely good at it too."
"I heard that Go Jichen is well trained too!" Bei Tian added. "How about we make a bet?"
"What bet?" Qin Yuanfeng chimed in. He turned towards Bei Tian. "What are we betting?"
"I want to know who is better! Yang Mi or Go Jichen. I will vote for Jichen! Fifty thousand!"
Shaking her head, Lily rose from her seat and decided to help Zhuo Jingren with their food. Both Yang Mi and Secretary Go were well trained but it was obvious Yang Mi would unanimously win a fight against the latter. After all, it was pretty obvious that the stupid Go Jichen liked Yang Mi. Would he really hurt the woman that he liked?
"Make It a hundred! I will go with Yang Mi!" Qin Yuanfeng’s voice echoed. Of course, he would side with his sister’s secretary.
"Deal!" Bei Tian beamed! "A hundred thousand! If— "
"How childish." Yang Mi interrupted Bei Tian’s words. She rolled her eyes and decided to open her book. "I am not fighting."
"Ohhhh... Miss Yang here must be afraid to fight!" Bei Tian teased.
"I’m not afraid! I am better than him!" Yang Mi retorted.
Secretary Go’s ears perked the moment he heard Yang Mi’s words. Squinting his phoenix eyes towards Yang Mi, he said, "I am better and more experienced than you. In a fight between us, there is no way I will lose."
"You? " Yang Mi snorted. ���Yeah... keep dreaming. I’m not fighting... I honestly would want to spare your feelings. I don’t want you to run to your boss crying like a child."
"You—"
"See? Jichen... this woman is really proud, ah!" Bei Tian said. "You should prove her wrong! After all, you are a man! You should show who the real man is in a relationship! What do you say, Yuanfeng?"
"Well... if she doesn’t want to fight then let’s not force her. Aw! Why are you throwing your book towards me?" Qin Yuanfeng asked, almost irritated. He was just answering his question, ah. This Bei Tian was really shallow! He thought inwardly.
"Don’t mind him Jichen..." Bei Tian stood behind Go Jichen and started massaging his shoulders. "This Yang Mi is too much! I think she is using the fact that she knows that you like her! She knows that if you two fight, you will always let her win!"
Go Jichen nodded. "That is right. She is taking advantage of—"
Silence.
A thick blanket of silence followed Go Jichen’s words as he widened his eyes and stared at Yang Mi for a few seconds. He felt his throat turn dry, his face turned scarlet red. Did he just... Did he just confess?
"Ha!" Bei Tian’s loud laughter instantly echoed . "Silly humans!" he exclaimed. "This young master is really the smartest!" He let out another laughter.
