The Villain's Wife

Chapter 678 Eastern Garden

The Villain’s Wife 678 Eastern Garden

Instantaneously Yang Mi’s face turned red. She glared at the laughing Bei Tian before huffing. A man who couldn’t even say what he really felt inside was... not worth it. She sneered before turning towards her book.

’This Bei Tian is really nosy,’ she thought inwardly.

Of course, Bei Tian didn’t stop from there. He laughed before he added. "So since... we are now aware that Jichen likes Yang Mi. Is it safe to assume that this fight will not happen as Jichen will surely let Yang Mi win?"

"Shut it!" Yang Mi hissed. "There is no letting me win! I will win." She declared boldly. She hated how men always think they are better than women because of their brute strength.

"Jichen? What do you say? Hm?"

This interaction continued as Lily and Zhou Jingren prepared the barbeque.

"You know it’s always nice to have something like this every now and then." Lily noted. Chinese have a lot of holidays like this. Previously, they didn’t have the chance to host parties like this because they didn’t have a nice outdoor place like this.

Zhou Jingren’s sky city was located on the top floor of the building where they could see nothing but clouds on the outside. It was not really a good place to spend time with close friends and family.

"Hmmm.... " Eyeing the beautiful view in front of them, Zhou Jingren nodded. "You know... this place is really nice to raise a child." He said as he eyed her stomach.

"It is." She beamed in response. "By the way... I received a call from Luxembourg just this morning."

"Are they planning to visit?" He asked.

"Not they. But Eliza will. Her twin brother might come too." Eliza said that she would travel across Asia for some humanitarian work. As a royalty, this is normal for someone like her. "And she wants to give me some stuff for the baby. Said it was from her older sister."

"Did you inform them that you will give birth in Switzerland?" He asked.

"Not yet. But I will do it once she comes in here." Lily said before she called out to Lin Luyang and Lin Siyang to help them put the cooked food on the table.

"You know... the weather is beautiful. Aren’t you planning to swim?" Lily said as she followed Zhou Jingren towards the group. By now, Bei Tian had already stopped teasing Go Jichen and Yang Mi and was on his phone, frowning as he talked to someone.

Not long after, the group started eating before Go Jichen and Qin Yuanfeng decided to take a swim and of course, a race on the pool. It was a jovial day for everyone as Lily and Zhou Jingren also joined them.

"Hey! I have a suggestion!" Bei Tian raised his hand as he watched everyone by the pool. By now, he was the only one that didn’t join them. "I know a place with a good hotpot where we can play archery! I want to bet!"

"What is his deal with betting today?" Lily muttered in Zhou Jingren’s ears. She was currently piggybacking on Zhou Jingren’s back with her legs on his waist and arms around his neck. "Hey, Tian... Did you lose a bet?" She asked. As expected, Bei Tian’s face contorted.

"He did." Zhou Jingren’s confirmation followed. "He wanted to bet against us and win to heal his bruised ego."

"Hey! I just wanted to have fun, alright? Archery is good for the body!"

"Do you think I have the strength to play archery?" Lily asked. She was lazy, alright?

"Then... just watch us. We can bet instead. What do you say? Hm?"

Lily shook her head inwardly. She opened her mouth to decline however, Qin Yuanfeng’s words echoed before hers.

"I want to bet."

"See? Only Yuanfeng gets me." Bei Tian beamed. "Archery is fun! Come on!"

Lily rolled her eyes as Bei Tian continued convincing them one by one. In the end, Lily agreed to his offer. It was not because of the archery, it was because of the hot pot that Bei Tian promised to pay for. After staying in the pool for a few more minutes, Lily and everyone else, decided to change their clothes to relax before having their dinner at the hotpot place that Bei Tian was telling them about.

At exactly four in the afternoon, the group left the mansion to visit a place that was not really that far from The Peak. The grand patio instantly caught Lily’s eyes.

With the bamboo and lanterns everywhere, Lily instantly got the ancient Chinese vibe that the place was showing. From the small pond to their left to the warm lighting and soft music as well as the intricate carvings on the stone walls. To the ancient chinese clothes that the attendants were wearing. Everything about this place instantly made Lily comfortable.

"Eastern Garden." She muttered the name of the place under her breath. "Is this a new place?" She asked Bei Tian.

"Not new." Zhou Jingren answered. "But... it’s unpopular to the masses. People who came here need to reserve a month in advance. That and... this is an extremely private place."

Lily turned silent. He clearly said that they need reservations to enter however, she didn’t remember them calling to reserve their seats. Sensing the question in her mind, Zhou Jingren continued.

"You can reserve or... buy a spot inside the restaurant. Like a small private room that is floating on the lake located at the back of the restaurant. Bei Tian urged me to buy one for meetings but I have not used it before." He explained.

"Oh!" Lily nodded in response. She then held her husband’s hands as they walked towards the private room that they owned. After a few seconds of walking, the group finally reached the lake and as expected, awe instantly shone in their eyes.

The lake was not big. What left them in awe was the beautiful garden surrounding the lake. Various flowers that danced under the wind as they reflected the light of the setting sun was enough to mesmerize them.

"This place... is magical!" Lily said as she let out another gasp.
