The Villain's Wife (WN) - Chapter 679: Earn More Money

The attendant then walked towards the wooden bridge that was connected to their floating… cottage.

"This place is better at night." Bei Tian noted. "The lighting here is awesome."

"I thought you said this place has archery?" Qin Yuanfeng asked as he followed them inside.

"This place is too big. It is just behind this lake. Right over there." Bei Tian pointed to the spot near the lake. "Archery is good at night!"

"How is it good when it's dark? Will we even be able to see the target?" Yuanfeng argued.

"That's the point!" Rolling his eyes, Bei Tian gave a smug smile. "It's night, the lighting will not be good. You can't just rely on your eyesight. You will have to rely on your… emotions." Closing his eyes, he put his right hand on top of his heart. "It is always best to rely on your emotions while playing archery."

"What kind of lame thinking is that?" Yang Mi sneered. "What emotions are you talking about?���

"Aigo… you won't understand. You don't even know what emotion is." Bei Tian countered. To be honest, he had never seen Yang Mi smile. This woman was like a walking statue. How could she understand emotions?

"First, there is no such thing as emotion in playing archery." Yang Mi said. "What, are you going to kiss your bow before shooting?"

As expected her words instantly made the others laugh. "What?" Yang Mi asked, confused. "When shooting the arrow… there is only the bow and your target." This is just like killing someone, there is only your gun and the target. Why was Bei Tian talking about emotion?

"You see? I am a very emotional guy." Bei Tian said. "While you are a cold and mean woman. We are the exact opposite. This means… you won't understand what im talking about." He paused before turning towards Secretary Go that was sitting next to him. "Jichen… why do you like this woman?" He casually asked.

"Bei Tianyou are going overboard, ah!" Yang Mi glared at the man sitting opposite to her. "This is none of your business!"

"What do you mean? Jichen is my friend. I saw him in the orphanage before." Holding two of his fingers in front of Yang Mi's face, he added. "We are this close. So… it is only normal for me to be concerned about his choice in women."

"Are you really concerned? Or jealous?"

"Jealous of what?"

"I don't know." Yang Mi shrugged. "Tell me… do you like Go Jichen? Do you want to become his girlfriend?"

"Wha—" Bei Tian widened his eyes before both him and Go Jichen dramatically acted as if they were about to puke. "What are you talking about?" He managed to ask before turning towards Go Jichen. "Jichen… are you certain that you really like this woman? You know, you can always change your mind right?" He then looked at Qin Yuanfeng who was sitting next to Go Jichen. "Me and Yuanfeng will support you on changing your mind."

"Why would you like him to change his mind?" Yang Mi said, irritation flashing in his eyes. After the realization of what she asked soon settled inside her. Slowly, her eyes widened. "I— I mean… if he changed his mind then it has nothing to do with me! Do you really have to say this in front of my face?" She frantically said as heat shot up her ears.

This created another harmonious teasing and laughing as Lily and Zhou Jingren also joined in on teasing the two. Not long after, the people carrying the ingredients for their hotpot arrived. Various meat and vegetables that were thinly sliced as well as rice noodles andsome seafood were served in front of them.

Two types of broth were also served for the group. After making sure that their orders were already served, the attendant immediately left. With the chopsticks, the group started their dinner as they watched the sun set from the horizon.

"This is a really nice place, no?" Lily said as she put some thinly sliced squids on Zhou Jingren's bowl. She then eyed the lights that seemed to come from the bottom of the lake. The place was not only quiet, it was also surrounded by trees, flowers and a great view. This was such a good place to just relax and enjoy each other's company.

"Alright… I'm done eating." Bei Tian's voice echoed. "Who wants to bet with me?"

"Me." Qin Yuanfeng answered almost immediately.

"And me." Everyone turned towards Yang Mi.

"Then… I will join too!" Secretary Go chimed in. Would he really miss the chance to show off his skills in front of Yang Mi? Of course not!

"Good! How about you two?" Bei Tian turned towards Lily and Zhou Jingren. Slowly a sly smile blossomed on his face. "Wait… do you know archery?" he asked Lily.

"No." She answered without batting an eyelid. Why stress herself over something she was bad at? To Lily this does not make any sense at all! She would rather earn money and focus on learning a skill that will make her earn more money.

"I see." Bei Tian nodded. "Too bad." He eyed Zhou Jingren before he added. "Then… why don't you let Zhou Jingren play instead of you?"

"No." Lily answered. Why would she waste her time with archery when she could sit close to her husband and just enjoy the view with him? "We will watch. But to motivate everyone… I will give an extra hundred thousand to the winner." She added as she continued eating.

Lily was aware that sports like this is not really her forte. Of course, there is also the fact that she is not very interested in learning the skill. To her, earning money is the ultimate skill! It is the only skill that she needs.

"Then… all good!" Bei Tian beamed. "We should start playing after we finish our dinner!"
