The Villain’s Wife 525 Request and Wants

While this is happening, Lily and and Zhou Jingren are cooped up in their house, snuggling and sleeping as he insisted on taking care of her.

"Is this really necessary?" Lily smiled as he held the spoon towards her. "I’m pregnant. I’m not paralyze."

"The Doctor said not to tire you."

"Eating is not tiring." She chuckled. Since they arrived, Zhou Jingren insisted on feeding her. "I am not a baby, alright?" She said before she grabbed the spoon away from him. "I am a capable woman. You should stop treating me like a baby." She said before shoving the vegetables in her mouth. "I don’t like eating this stuff. I want to eat some chicken and milk tea."

In response, Zhou Jingren nodded and dialed Secretary Go’s number so he could go and get Lily her request.

"Are you going to stay here with me until I gave birth?’ Lily asked. "You are not planning to do that, right?" she asked as she started eating. Seeing him frown, Lily let out a low chuckle.

"Don’t you want me to take care of you?"

"I would love that. However, I am sure many people will start asking questions because of your absence. I honestly don’t want them to know that I am pregnant."

"I understand." He nodded. "Chef Yang will arrive later today and mother will arrive tomorrow morning. She will take care of your needs."

Lily nodded and smiled. She would not insist that she is very much healthy and is capable of looking after herself. She knew it wasn’t true. Right now, Lily’s priority is to finish the first trimester of the pregnancy and lessen the possibility of complications and miscarriage. Because of this, she would accept all the help that she could get.

Well... that is, except Zhou Jingren’s help. Lily chuckled inwardly. She can’t have him carry her from the bed to the bathtub all the time or feed her! She understood that this was his way of showing that he cares, but this... this is just too extravagant, ah.

The latter would even carry him from their room to the living room and towards the kitchen! Lily knew that she could not live like this for the next nine months! Of course, she will not tell this directly to his face. "You know... we needed all the money that we could get. Raising a child is very hard. I need some motivation!" Lily used her love for profits to at least make the man feel a little bit lighter.

"What motivation?"

"Sorry... I believe I chose the wrong word. I mean... I need payment! You have to pay me for carrying our son for the next nine months!" She smiled. As expected, the crease in her husband’s forehead lessen as he laughed. Lily felt the latter’s amusement from her words.

"Giving birth to a child that is half me is the greatest payment that you could have," he countered as he took one slice of grape and threw it in his mouth. "Imagine having a little me running around here."

She feigned surprised at his words. "Why are you saying that my child will look like you? Is there something wrong with my appearance?"

Again, Zhou Jingren let out a boisterous laughter. Seeing this, Lily continued, "If my child will look like me then... aren’t you so lucky? You should double my payment if that happens!"

"You already took everything from me. My last name, money, body, properties. What kind of payment do you want this time?"

"I would have said your body but I still need to wait for another five weeks and two days before I could have that. Not that I am counting." She said sternly before he met his eyes. Slowly, a mischievous grin appeared in Lily’s face before both of them fell into a puddle of laughter that echoed inside the whole residence.

The fragile atmosphere immediately turned jovial as the two continued to tease each other. For them, this child is the greatest blessing that they could have. The couple teased and laugh at each other’s antics as they ignored the storms that is trying to shake their empires.

"President, I apologize but President Zhou specifically told me not to tell you things that will only stress you out." Yang Mi lowered her gaze and avoided Lily’s eyes. She had always vowed to protect and prioritize Lily at all times. However, she could not deny that fact that Zhou Jingren’s orders are valid.

Yang Mi knew how much Lily liked children and she would not want to endanger Lily’s child by giving her more problems.

Lily shook her head in response. Zhou Jingren had actually dared to tell Yang Mi not to update her about the things that they have been investigating? She immediately dialed her husband’s number.

"Stop telling everyone not to update me about things." She uttered when her husband picked up his phone. "I want to know. I can’t just sit down here. I want to... scheme against someone!" she declared and heard his helpless sigh on the other line.

"Jingren... I am so bored! I need to think and scheme against someone! This is our child’s future hobby! You can’t take that away from us!" She said before laughing. "I am just kidding."

"I know." He answered. "I just don’t want you to get stressed. I will take care of everything. So you can relax and rest." He let out another sighed. "How are you feeling? Mother is already on her way. Did you like Chef Yang’s food?"

"Hmmm... but he already left before I woke up. Anyway... don’t change the topic! I want to know everything about that news and the people behind it."

"Are you sure this won’t stress you out?"

"Of course." Lily stop herself from rolling her eyes. For some reason, the thought of scheming against someone made her excited. She frowned at her thoughts. Was this normal? She remembered reading about pregnant women with peculiar requests and wants. Was it possible that this pregnancy made her more evil?

Lily widened her eyes as she swallowed her saliva. It seems that her mind had run rampant again.
