The Villain's Wife Chapter 591 Used and Abused

The Villain's Wife 591 Used and Abused

"I heard it is good?" The man continued.

"Depends on how you define good." Zhou Jingren answered and looked at the queue of numbers on the screen. This specific shop does not offer any drive-through, so he was forced to go inside to order.

The man smiled in response and also turned towards the numbers. "That is right. In my case, I love to drink everything that is sweet." He made a deliberate pause. "Do you know that our taste buds shrink as we grow older?"

Zhou Jingren turned towards the man. Seeing this, the man's piercing blue eyes crinkled as he continued. "As we grow older, we will lose the ability to distinguish between sweet and sour and salty. Point is… we should enjoy this taste now that we can still taste them. Do you agree with me?"

"Our sense of taste will start fadings once we turn seventy." Zhou Jingren answered. "And it also includes your sense of smell." The man's surprise was apparent as he lifted an eyebrow. Zhou Jingren��s knowledge must have surprised him. "Of course, having a certain disorder is different."

"Impressive." The man's voice was warm as he gave a nod of approval. "How about emotions? Do you think… it also shrinks and fades as we grow older?"

Zhou Jingren pursed his lips, the elegance that the blue-eyed man possessed was undeniable. However, he does not have the time for this. "My order's ready." He said as he walked towards the counter, ignoring the man's mysterious gaze.

Walking out of the shop, Zhou Jingren gave the man a small nod before going back to his car. The peculiarity of the man did not bother him. After all, this world is full of peculiar people.

And if he wanted to check every person who attempted to talk to him, then he would spend nights and days to do something so pointless. His wife would surely consider this as nothing but a waste of his precious time. The time that he could use to earn profits.

And as for the man's question, Zhou Jingren could only say that there is nothing permanent in this world. Emotions are fragile and not many people have the ability to cope with their changes.

Of course, this emotion does not include his love for his wife.

The man smiled as he stared at the brand of the hot chocolate in his hand. "This is good," he uttered before taking another sip. "I want to buy this shop. Yi, ask someone to give the owner a check tomorrow."

"Understood." The shorter man named Yi nodded. If Lily was here, she would have easily recognized these two people. After all, they were one of the people who attended the launch for her Harmony Isle last year. "Are we going straight to the airport?" he asked. "I already have the first-cla.s.s tickets with me."

"Yes. We are going home." The blue-eyed man smiled and happily drank his hot chocolate. "Do you have any news from our people in Luxembourg?"

"No. Everything is silent. Social unrest is not expected anytime soon. But… we will see. This will still depend on the Grand Duke's decision."

"I agree." He nodded, a mysterious smile plastered on his face.

Meanwhile, Lily's smile instantly grew bigger when she saw Zhou Jingren came back with her milk tea. Her eyes sparkled like a child who just got her first star. "Thank you," she held her hand and accepted the tea.

She then started sipping it before grinning. "You are becoming more and more handsome as you grow older. You honestly reminded me of an old-aged wine. You know… the type that only gets tastier as they grow older."

"If drinking milk tea will make you like this… then I will start making milk tea tomorrow." he answered, amus.e.m.e.nt apparent in his voice.

"You will make milk tea for me?" she laughed, unable to believe his words. Isn't that a waste of his time?

"Of course.�� A smug smile shone on his face. "I already asked Jichen to buy the machine required tomorrow. I tried looking into some recipes online and it wasn't that hard." He started drinking his hot chocolate. "This is too sweet." He uttered and put it on the nightstand.

"But it's good, right?" Lily beamed. "Hey… look at my stomach." She raised her s.h.i.+rt and showed her stomach. "I can feel a little b.u.mp but it's still small, no? I was expecting to have a bulging stomach soon. After all, I am almost three months pregnant."

"I don't think it will be that big. Are you sure this isn't caused by your milk teas?" he touched her stomach and slowly stroked it. "I think it's just milk tea."

"Then…. Our child's nickname will be milk tea." Lily declared. "And I will tell him or her that this was your fault." She put her hand on top of his. "I'm sure he or she will hate you." She then let out a low giggle.

Zhou Jingren shook his head in response before he leaned down to kiss her lightly on the lips. "I think milk tea is a good nickname. As long as the child will look like you then… I don't have a problem calling — Aw!"

"Why would you want to call our child milk tea if he or she will look like me?" She frowned.

"Well, because just like a cup of tea you and our child will always make my life better. Aw! Stop pinching me!"

"Then stop making me cringe!" Lily dramatically hugged herself. "You are making me s.h.i.+ver."

"I know a lot of ways to make you s.h.i.+ver." He winked. "If you know what I mean." He said before suddenly running away from Lily. He knew what was coming.

As expected, pillows instantly started flying towards him as he laughed at his wife's antics. "You should stop it… and just thank me for being too sweet." He teased. "A while ago you just said I'm the best husband in the world. Now… you are trying to hurt me with these pillows. I really feel used and abused."
