“Those are fake photos,” Lily said the moment she saw her photos that had been on the Internet in the past few hours. “To think… that someone would actually try to do something this stupid only means that they thought the people are stupid to believe such things.”
“President… the comments are…” Yang Mi did not continue her words. She was about to warn Lily about the mean comments, but the latter already started reading them.
“I see…” Lily nodded. “So there are actual people as stupid as them.”
“I believe President Zhou is already taking care of this. But I am still wondering why the photos are still online. He could easily remove it from the trending topics.”
“Yang Mi… if he will remove the photos the netizens will only think that it was me who did it. Then they will criticize my influence and might even think that this is all true.”
Yang Mi nodded her head before she turned towards the entrance. “That must be The President’s mother.” She immediately went to check if the person who wanted to have access to their house is Zhou Dae Un and let her inside.
“Mother.” Lily smiled as she gave the older woman a hug. “How was your trip?”
Zhou Dae Un immediately congratulated Lily and even gave her a bangle made of white gold and diamonds as a gift. “And stop worrying too much. Zhou Jingren told me that you already knew about the matter with the photos and the bullying rumors?” Zhou Dae Un took a sip at the tea that Yang Mi prepared.
“I am not worried about those.” Lily smiled. “Since when did people care about the truth, anyway? We live in a world where everyone seemed to think giving their opinions about something that was posted online is… the recent trend.”
“Good. I like your mindset.” Zhou Dae Un then started talking to Lily about their plans in the future. Since Lily and Zhou Jingren will have a child soon, they needed to find a place that is suitable for their children. “This place… is big. But I don’t think that stairs are suitable for a toddler. Are you planning to move to a bungalow? Or a safer house?”
“I have been thinking about this matter since last night.” Lily sighed. “I don’t know… Our companies are based here so moving into Mainland China is not an option for me. I have a few properties that my grandmother left me. It is located in a pretty secluded and private neighborhood in Hong Kong.”
“Ah… that would be a great idea. I suggest that you move before your stomach gets big. These stairs are pretty inconvenient once you are already seven months pregnant.”
Lily nodded at Zhou Dae Un’s words. She remembered that Grandmother Ye left her one of her properties at The Peak. It was a place that is exclusively for the wealthy, located in the northern part of Hong Kong. It also has a great view of the whole of Hong Kong and offers really good security.
She immediately made a mental note to tell Zhou Jingren about this matter. However, she never thought that the latter was already thinking about this as well.
“This is the only mansion available in The Peak. It’s pretty. This is a five-bedroom mansion with over eight thousand square feet of floor area. It surrounded by dense woods, meaning it will be very good for your health.”
“It also has an outdoor and indoor swimming pool. There is also a smaller dining area that is overlooking the outside swimming pool here.” He continued.
“This is a very elevated location that features a stunning view of the Hong Kong skyline.”
Lily’s eyes went wide as she saw the image on Zhou Jingren’s computer. “This is exquisite!” she exclaimed. “Knowing that Hong Kong is the home of more than ninety percent billionaires in the world, I’d say that… this three hundred and fifty million is a very fair price.” She nodded and examined the images of the other parts of the house as well.
“I already paid half. But if you don’t like it… I can always cancel. Do you like me to schedule a viewing?” He asked. Seeing his wife smile like immediately completed his day.
“Of course! We can also drop by my grandmother’s house!” she beamed. “I am surprised that you were already thinking about this matter.”
“Well… this penthouse was designed for singles and couples, not for a family. I already thought of buying a house after you agreed to marry me way back last year. But because of our busy schedules, I was not able to discuss it with you.”
Lily nodded. “Still… a house like this is actually perfect for us.”
“And it has five rooms. Perfect for our kids.”
Lily immediately lifted an eyebrow at her husband’s words. “What does it have to do with our kids?”
“Well… it’s enough for four kids.” he beamed.
“Excuse me?” Lily’s eyes immediately widened. “I want two or three. Not four.”
Seeing his wife’s exaggerated reaction, Zhou Jingren laughed before he pulled her towards the bed. “Whatever you say, boss,” he said before kissing her neck.
“This is inappropriate.” Lily immediately held her hand in between Zhou Jingren’s lips and her skin. “The doctor said you are not allowed to act lecherous around me.”
“I am not allowed to kiss you like this?” he leaned down and kissed her ears.
“No!” She said as she moved away from him. “This matter is non-negotiable. I can’t let you seduce me like this!” She uttered, her face stern. “No kisses on my neck and other parts of my body!”
“Are you sure?” a mischievous grin escaped his lips.
“Of course! Well, maybe my neck is all right. But anywhere below that is not fine. Okay… maybe my breast is an exception.” She said before beaming. “Alright… just until my chests… that’s final!”
In the end, Zhou Jingren burst into a puddle of laughter as he pulled her to kiss her forehead. “You are amazing,” he uttered before kissing her lips.
