...

Zhou Huifang watched as his father gave him one last disappointed look before leaving his flat. He gritted his teeth, his face sullen. He hated how Zhou Jingren was able to convince his father to lie to him.

After a few minutes, Zhou Huifang went back to bed. Until now, he could still hear the ridicule from Lily's voice. Lily— that hateful woman would easily mocked him because of what he did. However, he could not deny that Lily also had a very valid point.

Someone might be treating him like a disposable ally. He let out a sharp breath as he collapsed on his bed, his eyes close, face sullen. If someone is indeed using him then… would he really let them treat him like a fool?

"Ugh!" He exclaimed as he clutched his head in frustrations. This cannot go on. He needed to call the man soon. He needed to come up with something!

"Huh?" Bei Tian stared at Lily, confused. "Why are you asking me such weird questions?"

"Since you are here, you can become the judge of my character. " Lily beamed. First, she was bored. Second, reading hundreds of pages worth of reports is hurting her eyes. She deserves to have more fun.

He furrowed his brows, suspicions apparent in his eyes. He immediately wondered what is Lily thinking this time. Sipping his tea, Bei Tian immediately asked her. "What character? Is there even another character aside from your evil self? What are you— what do you call that Yuanfeng? The one with two personalities? Bipolar or something?"

"Multiple personality disorder," the latter answered.

"Yes! That one!" Bei Tian narrowed his eyes at Lily. "Do you have another personality lurking beneath you?"

"What? No!" She grinned. "I was thinking of acting."

"Aren't you always acting?"

"You—"

"You are always acting. I can sense it." Bei Tian said. "What? Are you planning to become an actress too?"

"Yes!"

"Like an actress— actress? Like someone who acts on TV?"

"Yeah… an actress. I am not aware that there are other types of actresses in the industry." Lily leaned against her chair, seemingly thinking about Bei Tian's words.

"If you are going to ask me if you will be a good actress. I think— you would do good in evil roles."

"Excuse me?"

"You know.. The evil stepmother or the evil fiance roles. Maybe a witch? Or powerful sorceress that loves to bully the protagonist."

"But those are all mean roles." She retorted.

"You are mean." He shrugged. "Acting like yourself is not that bad, ah."

"Oi! Bei Tian…you are going overboard!" Yang Mi immediately reprimanded."I will tell President Zhou about you bullying the madam!"

"What bullying?" Bei Tian asked, wondering why Yang Mi would suddenly become hostile. "Is telling the truth considered bullying? Besides, she asked me a question, alright? She also did not tell me to lie!"

"You— "

"Yang Mi… it's alright." Lily chuckled. "He is actually right. Playing the role of something very familiar is good for a newbie like me."

"Wait— are you serious?"

"Of course, I am!" Lily beamed in response. "Being an actress suits me!"She propped her chin into her palm and started thinking about being an actress.

"Being an actress requires kissing people." Silence followed Qin Yuanfeng's words. "Do you want to kiss other men?" he asked.

As expected Lily turned speechless. She actually did not think of this aspect!

"Plus evil people are sometimes portrayed as… promiscuous. Meaning… bed scenes. Of course, you can use a body double. But do you really like your husband to watch your face next to a man— on TV"

"Hah! Yuanfeng is still the smartest!" Bei Tian laughed, amusement apparent in his eyes. He then rose from his seat and walked towards Qin Yuanfeng to asked him about the things that he wanted. Seeing the two men started to talk about Zhou Jingren's business, Lily pouted and rose from her seat.

"Yang Mi... Let's go."

"Where are you going?" Bei Tian asked.

"I am going to see how a famous actor acts in person."

"You are bored, no?"

"Hmmm. I can't think about scheming and killing all the time." She grinned. "Bad for the baby." She uttered before leaving the office with Yang Mi.

Just lately, Lily realized that she actually had a choice. She could think about her enemies, their schemes, their future plans like she always did in the past seven years. Or… enjoy herself. Divert her attention to other things.

For instance… baking. She even thought of maybe trying other things like knitting. Lily beamed inwardly. Of course, she is not planning to tell her husband about this matter. She knew he will laugh at her silly reasoning.

"Yang Mi?"

"President?" Yang Mi leaned forward. "Is there something wrong?"For some reason, the smile on Lily's face is giving her weird vibes.

"Do you know how to sew?"

"Eh?"

"How about knitting?" Lily lowered her voice. "Do you have other hobbies when you are not working for me?"

Yang Mi cleared her throat. "President…. When I am not working for you… I just sleep." She immediately wondered if Lily knew how exhausting it is to work under her. Of course, she is not planning to complain. She loves her job and everything about it.

"Sleep?" Lily turned towards her. "You don't go out and party? Or do anything else?"

She shook her head. Both she and Secretary Go are always exhausted because of their bosses. They would always prefer to just stay at home and sleep when they are given time off.

"Oh! Then… " Lily did not continue what she was about to say. She would not want to take some classes just to learn these things. After all, she is an independent pregnant woman of the twenty-first century. Chuckling, an idea slowly sprouted inside Lily's mind.

Seeing Lily smile to herself, Yang Mi immediately made a mental note to warn Secretary Go so he could warn Zhou Jingren about it.
