The Villain's Wife (WN) - Chapter 682: We Live Together

"Oh.." Qin Yuanfeng nodded as he leaned back. Maybe his face was really close. He then looked at the twins. Who were still talking to Bei Tian.

Twins.

These two were the children of the Corneels. A Family hailing from Netherlands who owned the petroleum company that the Facci Group was considering to buy. Their presence here should be understandable as Lily has a meeting with them tomorrow.

"In USD?" the woman's voice echoed. "You want to bet a million in USD?"

"Is that too much?" Bei Tian said. "Since you cannot afford then— "

"Of course we can afford!" the woman said. "However… this is too much! For an archery contest, it is too much."

"Then don't bet." Bei Tian sneered. "I'm going home."

Qin Yuanfeng frowned at Bei Tian's words. Once again, he leaned towards Lily. "Why is he acting so arrogant?"

"He has the right to be arrogant." Lily uttered as she pursed her lips. The possibility that Bei Tian knew who these people were was very likely. She met Zhou Jingren's eyes and for a few seconds, a flash of understanding glinted in their eyes.

This was enough to confirm her previous assumption. Zhou Jingren had asked Bei Tian to dig into this family the moment she mentioned it to him. Slowly, Lily's lips curled into a smile. The fact that Zhou Jingren was protecting her back without even her knowledge was just… heartwarming.

"Bei Tian is making them mad." Lily said after a few seconds of silence. "Anger is a very complicated emotion. It tends to change us. Our personality and the way that we think."

"Oh." He nodded. "That woman keeps on looking at us. It is making me uncomfortable."

"Maybe… she just thinks that you are handsome." Lily teased. "I mean… you look like me." She beamed. "So you are really good looking too." Giggling at her own joke, Lily nudged Zhou Jingren's arms. "Right, husband?"

The latter smiled helplessly. Since becoming pregnant, Lily had become more mischievous. She had been laughing a lot, her smile seemed carefree and her eyes… her eyes always shone with mischief and gentleness. This made Zhou Jingren happy and grateful at the growth that both of them have had since meeting each other again.

He stared at her side profile, his gaze gentle and warm. He immediately wondered if their children would inherit any of their traits. Wouldn't it be fun to have a mini Lily running around the mansion?

"Alright! Half million then." Bei Tian's words echoed. "If you can't afford that then…I will go home."

"Mister… this is very illogical." The man said. "I can bet a hundred thousand in USD but not half a million. That is too extravagant for something like this."

"Aigo… you people won't understand. This is my passion." Bei Tian said. "I play with everything that I have. And I have spent years just practicing my impressive skills. If you think it is not worth half a million then let's stop this conversation right now." He turned his back on them and walked towards Zhou Jingren and Lily's direction, a sly smile plastered on his lips.

Surprisingly, the duo did not stop him. Instead, they started whispering towards each other. Seeing this, Lily shook her head. It seems that the duo had fallen into Bei Tian's trap. As expected, before Bei Tian could reach Lily and Zhou Jingren, the man called out to him.

"We agree." He uttered as he held his phone and dialed a number.

If Lily's guess was right then he might be calling his bank abroad. This was also the reason why the two were hesitant in agreeing to the bet. After all, withdrawing a large amount of money in a short period of time might alert their father, the owner of the Petroleum company.

"Good!" Bei Tian beamed.

"This Bei Tian is really something." Qin Yuanfeng said. "How confident Is he that he will win?"

"He doesn't need money." Lily said. "He is having fun." In Bei Tian's line of work, having fun was a luxury. Lily smiled before turning towards Yang Mi and Secretary Go who seemed to be arguing a few feet away from them. Sighing, Lily shook her head inwardly.

Secretary Go was too soft while Yang Mi had a really dominant personality. The two were opposites. Logic says that opposites attract but… how are they going to continue with their relationship if they can't even agree on something?

Judging from their body language, it is safe to assume that these two are already sleeping together. However… they are not yet in a relationship. The two were just trying to create such a complicated relationship.

Did they really think that they wouldn't develop strong feelings after sleeping with each other for a few times? How silly.

"Alright! Let's start!" Bei Tian said, almost jumping up and down. This behavior instantly made the Corneels sneer as they wondered what kind of man would act like this even in the presence of a woman—a beautiful woman.

Veronica Corneel folded her arms across her chest, disgust flashing in his eyes. The man before them was very good looking— totally her type. However, his behavior instantly turned her off. Eyeing the silent Qin Yuanfeng, an idea seemed to sprouted in Veronica's mind.

"Hey… we are already betting but we haven't introduced ourselves yet." She smiled at Bei Tian, her gaze darted towards Qin Yuanfeng. "My name is Veronica Corneel and this is my twin brother Veron Corneel. May I know your names?"

"I am young master Bei." Bei Tian said before he introduced Yang Mi and Go Jichen as well as Qin Yuanfeng. Of course, he also included Zhou Jingren and his wife Lily Zhou— a name that is not as popular as Lily's european name.

"Oh!" She sent a sweet smile to Qin Yuanfeng. "I hope you don't mind me asking. I am a very direct person… so I may sound offensive but I really want to know if you are available?"

"No, he is not." Bei Tian uttered shamelessly. "He is with me. We live together."

Lily almost choked on her own saliva when she heard Bei Tian's words. She fought the urge to laugh out loud as she nudged her brother.

"Oh!" Qin Yuanfeng added. "Yes… we live together."
