The Villain's Wife

-COMPLETED- WARNING: FL is scheming and evil. Like almost every dramatic romance novel, Lily Qin’s story began with an evil stepmother, a scheming stepsister, and a dumb ex-fiance. At twenty, she fell prey to their grand scheme and became the laughingstock of the country. In despair, she left. Seven years later, Lily Qin rose from the ashes. She was labeled as an empress, an iron lady, a genius, and a prodigy. She was Miss Tycoon. Now, at twenty-seven, Lily Qin was an established businesswoman who was single-handedly controlling her multinational company abroad. She was beautiful, smart, and successful. Women envied her while men couldn’t help but worship her ethereal beauty. With her devastating past, everyone had assumed that Lily would exact revenge on the people who had wronged her. Who would have guessed that behind that beaming smile of hers was a numb heart that aimed only to make more profit? "You got it wrong." Lily elegantly propped her chin on the back of her hand. "I am seeing you today because we have something in common. We're both villains in somebody else's eyes. And I think it's time for us villains to get our own happy ending. Don't you think so?" --- Zhuo Jingren’s love for Lily Qin was something that only he knew. Ever since they were children, he had his eyes on her. Yet, every time he had tried to confess, he would end up fainting from nervousness. So when Lily Qin promised to marry him if he became richer than her, Zhou Jingren did not hesitate to leave the orphanage and work his way up just to become her man. Who would have thought that years later, when he was successful and feared by many, he would come back to an engaged Lily Qin? Then she mistook him for an escort after eating his tofu? Preposterous! The worst thing was, she seemed to have forgotten everything about him. Hadn’t she promised to marry him the moment he became more prominent than her family? Now, after taking advantage of him, she dared to run away? This woman was a liar! He gritted his teeth as he watched her approach him. He was about to say something mean when she suddenly spoke. “Are you my new bodyguard?” She did not even wait for him to answer before tossing her car keys at him. “Drive. Let’s go wreak some havoc.” Thus, the mafia’s big boss became Lily Qin’s bodyguard. --- "So? What do you want as a compensation?" Zhuo Jingren asked her once again before laying down next to her. His elbow was resting on the ground and his palm was supporting his head as he looked at her intently.  The first thing that Lily noticed about Zhuo Jingren when he laid next to her was his exposed tanned chest. This made him look more casual… and hot. She didn't even realize she was staring at the latter. "Why are you staring at me like that?" He smirked at her. "Do you want me to compensate you with my body?" Lily immediately rolled her eyes at the latter. "Who wants your body? Hmp! I want money!" "Your mind is always thinking of money but your body actually betrays you. Am I right to say that I have a shameless wife?" "Hah! I am a strong and independent woman of the 21st century. I know what I want. But if you insist on giving your body, I will take it too!" Lily shamelessly said, taking off her stilettos. However, just when Lily was about to lie down beside Zhuo Jingren, he suddenly pulled her on top of him. With her body on top of his, their faces were really close and they could even feel each other's breath.  "What a shameless woman," he noted, the smile on his face only deepened. .... Cover is mine.

Firefly Festival

"Go get dressed. Let's have brunch first then I will bring you on a tour around the resort," he said. As Zhuo Jingren watched Lily returning to her room quietly, he thought about how amazing it was to be able to spend the weekend with Lily. This was something that he never thought was possible just a few days back. Even though Lily was still treating him like a stranger, Zhuo Jingren was not planning to give up until she agrees to marry him.

While waiting for Lily to get ready, Zhuo Jingren took out his DSLR camera to take some pictures of the scenery. As Zhuo Jingren was adjusting the focus of his lens to capture a bird that was resting on a branch of a tree, he heard footsteps behind him. Turning his head towards the sound, he was blown away by how breathtakingly beautiful Lily looked that his mouth was slightly agape. 

Lily was wearing a boat neck long sleeve shirt in beige paired with a rugged blue denim shorts that accentuated her long legs. She had on some comfortable white sneakers. Her eyes were covered by her brown shades and her hair was up in a loose bun.

"Let's go. I'm hungry." Lily's words woke him up from his stupor.

"Alright," he said before walking up to Lily. He started leading to a restaurant that was in the resort which was only a short walk away. "The main highlight of this resort is the natural hot spring that has attracted many visitors here. It is really good. I suggest we try it ourselves tonight. Plus I have something really nice to show you."

"Okay." Lily's positive response surprised Zhuo Jingren. Actually, he thought that Lily might be uncomfortable with the idea of going to the hot spring with him. He instantly beamed, excitement apparent on his face. All the tension pending inside him went away just like that. Now he was excited, maybe even giddy. This would be his first date with Lily and he began to picture everything in his mind. He was planning to take her for a walk first and then take the initiative to hold her hand. They would take a walk around the lake and maybe count some ducks or swans. Maybe they could even end this day with a kiss.

Zhuo Jingren was excited ah.

While Zhuo Jingren was carried away in his thoughts, Lily was calmly examining the winding walkway that they are walking through. Aside from their own villa, Lily saw three more villas spaced apart, with tiled roofs and dark stained cedar walls. She realized that the resort was huge and also very quiet and peaceful. The only thing that Lily could hear apart from their own footsteps were the occasional singing of birds and the humming wind. Moreover, she also realized that she had not seen any other guests in the resort. "This place is so big. What do people use to travel around?" she asked.

"Buggy or bike," Zhuo Jingren answered. "The resort was also designed to be self-sufficient. We grow our own vegetables and we even have our own rice plantation. We also farm our own seafood, like prawns, fish, mussels, clams, oysters, scallops in our lake. In a nutshell, our farms provide supplies for our restaurants."

"Hmm… Impressive." Lily nodded. "By the way, why did you bring me here?"

"I know how busy you are and thought that you needed a break. Besides that, I want to bring you to see the Firefly Festival that this city celebrates. Tonight at nine, the people in town will release at least 500 fireflies at the lakeside. It will be a spectacular view from our villa."

"Oh." After another two minutes of walking, Lily and Zhuo Jingren arrived at the restaurant that was located at the highest point of the resort. The ambience of the restaurant pleasantly surprised Lily. It had minimalist wooden furniture and lanterns hanging all around that exude elegance and luxury. A section of the wall was made of glass, allowing the diners to have a view of the lake and the surrounding mini forest.

There was also an outside seating with an infinity pool next to it. "That's a freshwater infinity pool," Zhuo Jingren remarked when he noticed Lily eyeing the pool.

"Nice," she praised before taking a seat. As Lily studied the menu, Zhuo Jingren made some recommendations. When the waiter came to take their orders, Zhuo Jingren made sure to order all of the restaurant's specialties. It didn't matter to Zhuo Jingren if they had ordered more food than they could finish. More importantly, he wanted to be sure that Lily had an enjoyable meal.

"I never thought that you would agree to come here with me," Zhuo Jingren said as he propped his face up with his hand, watching Lily taking sips from a glass of juice.

"Me too," she answered. "I heard that you are a dangerous man and your business started in this country. Is that right?"

"Hmmm…" he nodded, smiling at her. "I was adopted by my late father when I was seventeen. When he died years ago, he gave me everything that he had… including his organization."

"Yakuza?" she asked.

"Used to be," he answered almost immediately. "After many years of illegal activities, Yakuza's activities began to slow down because of Japan's strict laws. So they chose to switch to the legal business. My father was one of those Yakuza leaders who left the illegal community and switched to the financial industry."

"And by legal, you mean, banks and insurance?"

Zhuo Jingren nodded and smiled.

Lily glanced briefly at Zhuo Jingren before looking away. The man's smile in front of her was like a ray of sunshine, it was warm and blinding. Lily knew that this man treated her differently compared to others. In her knowledge, Zhuo Jingren was ruthless in the business world. Coupled with his involvement in the Yakuza, she was certain that he was a very dangerous man.

"Mr Zhuo." Lily's thoughts were interrupted by a man in a black suit approaching them. "I didn't even know that you are here. You could have given me a call so that I could prepare a grand welcome for you." The man spoke in fluent Nihongo. The man was obviously shorter than Zhuo Jingren. He had a cunning fox like smile on his face as he darted his gaze towards Lily.

"Riku," Zhuo Jingren rose from his seat and shook the man's hand. Then he also spoke in fluent Nihongo. "I was occupied, hence I forgot to call you."

Riku only beamed at Zhuo Jingren before he turned his attention towards Lily. "Who is she?"

"My fiancée," Zhuo Jingren answered without batting an eye. "Lily."
