The Villain's Wife (WN) - Chapter 636: Against The Law

"Please. There's no need for gratitude." Lily beamed. "You and father have my full support on this. So… when are you planning on having the wedding?"

"Oh… He wanted to have it this year. I told him I can't really do that… I mean… we have barely known each other for a few months. So I suggested we do it fall, next year but he…" Su Ma lowered her gaze. "He kept on insisting. Well, we had a small argument. He then agreed to have the wedding next year but… he insisted on getting our marriage certificate that day."

"So… you two are already married?" Lily asked in amusement.

"Yes. We already have the certificate. He asked me to keep it a secret because… he did not want you to get upset. But I feel like lying to you is just wrong."

"Well… Congratulations. So you are officially Mrs. Qin. Should I start calling you stepmother?"

"No. Please don't. I mean… at least not until Qin Chuan tells you about our marriage certificate himself." Su Ma let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you. This has been weighing on my heart for the past couple of days. The guilt of keeping a secret as big as this is a lot for me."

Lily snorted. "To be honest, this was not a surprise to me. I already knew this would happen one day. I just… well… I can't really deny the fact that him not being honest with me is…" She lowered her head. "A little sad. After all, he is still my father."

"It's just depressing," Lily added, her lips morphing into a sad smile. "Please don't mind me. I can assure you that I am happy, for you, and him."

Seeing Lily's sad eyes seemed to send nothing but pure ecstasy into Su Ma's body. She smiled inwardly. "I understand. This is why I wanted to tell you about the marriage. I just… I know how you feel. To be honest, I would feel the same way if something like this happened to me." The sincerity in Su Ma's voice was undeniable.

Lily nodded in response. It seems that Su Ma's acting had improved, she thought inwardly. Isn't this just an Oscar-worthy acting? "Thank you. I will wait for my father to tell me about it himself. I am sure he will come soon, to see me and Yuanfeng."

Lily and Su Ma briefly talked about the wedding and their plans before Lily bid her goodbye. Zhou Jingren was still waiting for her inside the car, so she couldn't really stay and talk to Su Ma too long. Of course, Su Ma gave a cordial smile as she hugged Lily.

When Lily sat in the car, they instantly went back to The Peak so they could have dinner. Zhou Jingren decided not to ask her about the conversation and talk about other matters in the business industry instead. After all, if Lily wanted to tell him something… she would surely do that.

"Apparently, they are already married." Lily uttered while eating the vegetable salad that Zhou Jingren had specially made for her.

"Qin Chuan and Su Ma?" he raised an eyebrow.

"Hmmm." Lily snorted and rolled her eyes. "I don't understand the goal behind this scheme. Like seriously… did they really think… I would care if something bad happened to Qin Chuan? I mean… I would attend his funeral if he died? But would I kill someone for him? Absolutely not."

"But… you were still planning to what was that again? 'Divine Intervention', was it?" he quoted before laughing. "He is a mature man. He doesn't need your help. What he needs is an appointment with his psychiatrist. He needs to deal with his guilt and decide whether he really wants a relationship with his kids or not."

"Stop mocking me." Lily shoved another spoon of salad in her mouth. "I was originally planning on showing up at their Chinese traditional wedding while wearing white and showing some evidence that the woman was not Su Ma but Tang Lingyun instead."

"But… they are already married and my guess is they are not planning to have the wedding anytime soon?"

"They want it next year," Lily said. "That man is crazy. You were right. You know what? I should have Yang Mi book him into one of the most famous mental institutions in Mainland China. Report that he is having another breakdown so they can barge into his office and pick him up."

"That is against the law." He laughed.

"I know!" Lily fired back before laughing. A scene like that would have been hilarious. She could even call the media and have them witness the scene. She let out another amusing laughter. "I was actually expecting that hearing her say that they are already married would once again make me angry. Or hurt. But nothing happened. In fact… I had to fight the urge to laugh. Like I wanted to laugh at them."

Lily felt that having this conversation with her husband was helping her deal with whatever it was that she felt inside her because of what happened in the past. It made her feel lighter and happier. She felt like having these conversations with him was just what she needed.

"Well��� this is because you don't care about him anymore." Zhou Jingren said. "And I completely approve of this feeling of yours." He dabbed a napkin on his lips. "If you really wanted to deal with that woman. We can always have her killed. Simple. Her daughter is abroad and I don't think she cares much about her mother."

"You wanted to order a hit for her? What for?" Lily asked. "Whoever is behind this might use that against us."

"That is only if they could find proof that it was us." Zhou Jingren said as he took a sip from his wine glass. "People like them do not deserve our time. The sooner we end them, the better. But of course… this is only if you want her dead. If you like, we can wait for a short little while until we know who is behind this before we kill her."

"So this will only end with her death?" Lily asked.

"There is no other ending." He answered. "And this is only because I am being generous and lazy."
