The Villain's Wife Chapter 705 Hobby

The Villain's Wife 705 Hobby

Later that night, Lily and Zhou Jingren decided to bring everyone to a Michelin star restaurant in Kowloon for dinner, it was a cozy restaurant that only offered eastern dishes.

Located on the highest floor of Eastern Tower, Eastern Court was a one star restaurant famed for its Char Siu that melts into your mouth when eaten and the extremely delicious Taro Duck. It is also known for pairing Cantonese dishes with great wines from around the world.

"This looks really nice." Eliza said as she eyed the view from the floor to ceiling wall surrounding them. Dressed in a light blue knee-length Gucci, Eliza looked just like a G.o.ddess as she smiled at the sight of Hong Kong during the night. "This place seems very popular." She said as she noticed the amount of people inside.

"It is popular mainly because of their wines." Lily smiled. "Sadly, I can't have any tonight."

"I believe they serve some tea?" Zhou Jingren said as he started reading the menu. Not long after, the group ordered and chatted about random stuff including the game that Zhou Jingren, Qin Yuanfeng and Levi were playing earlier.

"So… charity work?" Lily eyed Eliza's beautiful dress before she stared at her cousin's side profile. "Do you always like working for Charities?"

"Do I have a choice?" Eliza beamed. "Kidding. Of course I love it but my elder sister is the one who actually does all the paperwork, the schedules and hosts the events. I just love traveling around the world, seeing and eating stuff that's new to me."

"Sounds tiring to me."

"It is." Eliza fired back. But she would rather sleep inside their private jet than stay inside the palace all day. Smiling, she turned towards Lily. "Why don't you tell me about running a business giant? Is it hard dealing with people who can easily choose their businesses and profits over your friends.h.i.+p?"

"Hmm. I don't think there is such a thing as friends.h.i.+p in the business world. There are benefits, advantages and disadvantages. That's all."

"Dealing with a multi-million dollar company sounds really stressful. Did Lilian teach you everything?"

"She did. And I worked as her secretary for a while so I was very familiar with the company before even becoming its CEO." Lily answered. "You sound like you really like Lilian." Lily could not forget Eliza's admiration when they talked about Lilian last Christmas.

"Yeah,I just love independent women. Like you. It makes me jealous sometimes." Eliza smiled. "But we can always dream, right?"

Lily pursed her lips. "Aside from charity work, did you ever try to pursue other things? A hobby perhaps?"

"Ballet." Eliza answered before she turned quiet. However, before Lily could react, a smile was already plastered on Eliza's face. "I love to dance and surf. Of course, I can't just leave my responsibilities to pursue my pa.s.sion. You understand what I mean, right?"

Lily nodded as she thought about any hobbies that she had aside from scheming against people.

There were none.

Now that she thought about it, Lilian actually never introduced any fun things to her. Well… maybe there was horse riding but aside from that, did she never try to learn anything fun? She smiled at her own thoughts. It was as if she was only programmed to run the business and scheme against her enemies.

How humorous, Lily thought.

To be fair, Lily never saw Lilian do anything herself aside from her occasional horse riding and going to the company everyday. Until now, Lily admired the dedication that her grandmother showed in running the company.

"Do you like dancing too?"

"Oh, yes." Lily smiled. Dancing. It wasn't really a hobby but it was a requirement as it will help her in b.a.l.l.s and banquets. It would help her blend into the society of the famed and wealthy. "I trained. But… I am not that good at it."

"Is there really something else that you are not good with?"

Lily chuckled at her question. "If I tell you that I am only good at making money. Would you believe me?" A small laughter escaped Eliza's lips at this statement.

"Of course not." Eliza shook her head. "That's impossible."

"It's not."

Eliza immediately widened her eyes at Lily, disbelief apparent in her face. "So… did Lilian teach you anything aside from running a business?"

"Nope. I can't even cook properly." She was not proud to admit it alright! After all, she was a grown woman in her late twenties. However, Lily just found everything funny. She would admit that earning money is her forte. However, aside from this she was useless.

"So how do you relax? Like… what do you do aside from managing your company?"

"Scheming?" Lily covered her mouth as she laughed before shaking her head. "I am joking." Pursing her lips, Lily turned silent at Eliza's question. Before meeting Zhou Jingren, all she did was actually run the company all day. Aside from that— she could not really remember anything about fun.

Even her socializing with the elites in Europe always had the goal of creating relations.h.i.+ps for influence.

"I think your life sounds more tiring than mine." Eliza laughed. "I could never run a business and sit around inside an office all day."

Lily nodded. When her grandmother made her the CEO, she had already resigned herself to running the company her entire life. No hobbies, no fun. It was all about profits and money.

Of course, this was also partly because of her horrible past. Lily was a very guarded person. Aside from Li Shanshan and Fernando she had never developed any close relations.h.i.+ps with anyone else before.

"What are your plans after giving birth?" Eliza asked. "Do you plan to continue running the Facci Group?"

"I don't know." Lily answered. "I want Yuanfeng to take over. But that is solely his choice. I won't force him into anything right now. So… I guess all I can do for now is wait?"

"I remember my sister's att.i.tude changed after giving birth. All of a sudden, she had become over protective and anxious about everything." Eliza recalled. "However she had become more compa.s.sionate, emotional, sweeter and overall a nicer person. After giving birth, I'm sure some of your emotions will be affected too."

"That is very true." Lily nodded in approval. In fact, she could already feel herself turn into someone over protective of her family. The thought of this made Lily smile.
