The Villain's Wife Chapter 690 Shoulders

The Villain's Wife 690 Shoulders

Lily took a deep breath. She can do this, she thought as she eyed the target board a few feet away from her. Wasn't this just a gun? She can handle conglomerates! She should be able to handle a weapon as small as the Glock 9mm Luger in her hand.

"You don't have to be so nervous." Zhou Jingren said behind her.

"I'm not nervous." First, Lily's current emotion was more complicated than just being nervous. Of course, she would not deny the fact that she was a bit afraid— afraid to embarra.s.s herself in front of her husband. That might sound comical but this was a fact. "What should I do…. If I don't hit it?" A silly question. Lily shook her head inwardly.

"Don't stop shooting." He answered.

"Oh." She nodded. Was that even applicable in real life scenario?

"Why are you being so tense?" He chuckled and held her hand. "You are shaking."

"I think… you should stand a bit farther than me." Lily cleared her throat. "I can do this. I'm a big girl." Images of Jack's bloodied face quickly flashed in her mind. It seems Zhou Jingren was right, after all. Killing someone was not something you could forget after a few months. Lily gulped. Wasn't this just a part of her training? Why is she even thinking of killing someone now?

"Alright… as you wish. Just… be careful of the recoil."

"I thought this one doesn't have a recoil?"

"Less recoil than most handguns. It's designed for women." Taking a step back, Zhou Jingren answered.

Lily's lips thinned. Designed for women— women who can't defend themselves. She mused. Lily used to think that there was no need for her to learn these things. However, the more she tread into this world, the more she realized her skills in defending herself was almost close to non- existent.

So she started training Martial arts. However, she got pregnant and therefore was forced to stop. She also tried learning how to shoot however, she had to stop because of her fragile pregnancy.

Now that she was already five months pregnant, Lily thought she could start learning how to shoot again. She might even start bringing her own gun soon.

"It's not like this is your first time using a gun." His voice made her frown. She urged herself not to retort to his words.

"Are you afraid that you won't hit the target?" the amus.e.m.e.nt in his voice was apparent.

"Who said that I'm afraid? Im a big girl, alright?" she argued. She was not afraid about this. What she was afraid of was disappointing him. After all, he had already trained her before she got pregnant.

Lily was aware of her capabilities and she was almost sure she would not hit the target. And yes, she was that bad. Her aim was somewhat crooked. It was something not even science could explain. For some reason, Lily thought this has something to do with her eyesight.

She could not really align her sight with the target!

Gritting her teeth, Lily decided to stop thinking about this matter and concentrate on the circular target ahead. She could not let this weakness win against her! This is all inside her mind! Mental state!

"You should stop pressuring yourself." Zhou Jingren sighed. "I think it is best to stop thinking about who is watching you. Remember this is between you and the target. Nothing's standing in your way. Just you, the gun and the target."

Lily tightened her hand around the grip. "I think this handgun is too heavy for me." She uttered, earning a small chuckle from her husband.

"That gun is customized based on your weight." Lily doesn't need to see his face to know he was smiling widely behind her.

"Eh? You can do that?" she asked, eyeing the target.

"I had someone customize it so you can press the trigger, instead of pulling it. This will increase your accuracy as it will prevent your hand from moving."

"Really?" She put the gun down and turned to look at him. "You can do that?"

"Of course, I can. And this gun is a new one. It is not the same gun you used last time."

Lily nodded. "Impressive." She uttered. Her knowledge when it came to things like this was limited. And she was not really shy to admit that before Zhou Jingren, she had no interest in things like this. "Alright then." She turned towards the gun and held it in her hand. "Let me try it."

A gentle smile instantly became apparent in Zhou Jingren's face. He stepped closer, towards her.

*BANG*

The loud sound of a gunshot echoed inside the practice range in Zhou Security.

*BANG*

*BANG*

"Did I hit it?" Lily's voice followed.

"Did you close your eyes?" Zhou Jingren laughed as he carefully took the gun away from her hand. "You can open your eyes now." After unloading the magazine of the gun, Zhou Jingren made sure it was not loaded before he laid it in front of Lily. "I say… you did a good job."

��Well…" Lily beamed. She eyed the target that was now moving towards them. "I think… I am a genius."

"What genius is she talking about?" Bei Tian's voice echoed behind them. "Aiyo… you didn't even hit the head of the target. If that circle was the head then… you hit the shoulders… your target can still run."

"Tian… don't — " Zhou Jingren was about to tell him not to provoke Lily. However, it was too late, Lily's face was already red.

Narrowing her eyes at Bei Tian, a sinister smirk appeared on Lily's face. "Mr. Bei… considering that my aim is so bad… I say I got lucky, hitting the shoulders instead of the head."

"I agree." Bei Tian chuckled ignoring Lily's red face. "It is indeed luck! Whoa! Whoa! Don't point that on me!" He said, his hand covered his head. "What — is she crazy? Ask her to stop!"

"You think he can stop me?" Lily sneered, her finger wrapped around it's trigger as she took a step closer to Bei Tian.

"Oi! Jingren! Stop her, what are you doing? Do you want to get me killed? I am your brother!"
