The Villain's Wife

The Villain’s Wife 415 Cabin

The freezing air swept through Lily as quickened her steps towards the car waiting for them in the port. She clutched her coat tighter, hoping that it will somehow ease the cold.

"Here," Zhuo Jingren gave her an extra coat. She eyed the man walking next to her and accepted the coat without saying anything. After a few seconds, they get into the car and immediately started their trip towards her grandfather’s house.

"When was the last time that you visited this place?" Zhuo Jingren asked her.

"Hmmm... I went only once. It was three or four years ago. I forgot." She said and stifled a yawn.

"You need to sleep."

"Hmmm..." she nodded and close her eyes. Lily did not sleep all throughout the five-hour flight. "Do want to tell me something?" she asked when she noticed Zhuo Jingren being tense all throughout the Yacht ride.

"It is December." Zhuo Jingren stated. A sigh escaped his lips.

"I know."

"You said, there will be fewer tourists because of the snow."

"Yes, that is right."

"Well... a certain people of the royalty was staying near the cabin."

Lily instantly opened her eyes and lifted an eyebrow. "From what country?"

"Guess what?"

"Luxembourg?" She looked at him. "Really?"

"Apparently, the Great Duke and Duchess, spent their Christmas in Skopelos with their children and their family." Zhuo Jingren answered.

Lily pursed her lips in response before she leaned against him and close her eyes. Her grandfather was once a royalty in Luxembourg. However, because of love, he abandoned being a prince in the country. After this, his younger brother because the Grand Duke or the Monarch. Now, however, the Grand Duke already passed away because of an unfortunate accident, leaving his son for the position.

"They have houses in Skopelos." She uttered. "Just like my grandfather."

"Hmmm... Jichen told me about it. Luxembourg had a very good economy lately. I mean... not the best, but their growth is consistent."

"That is true. I seldom read anything about them. I have no interest in branching out in that place. They are not interesting enough." Lily knew Zhuo Jingren’s intention in saying those words. However, branching out in a place like that is not of her plans. This was because according to her grandmother, the previous Grand Duke or her grandfather’s father was an absolute monarch.

He was a no nonsense man who valued prestige and their name above everything else. While she did not tell her the specific reason why her grandfather was removed from their ancestral books, she had mention a lot of time that it was because of her.

The thought of her grandmother and grandfather’s love for each other made her smile. A man willing to leave his royal ties just to be with the woman that he love was just admirable. Especially when the Facci Group was not that big when it happened.

"Hey." Lily nudged Zhuo Jingren.

"Hm?"

"If you are a royalty somewhere... let’s say you are a prince. And your people will tell you to divorce me so you can become the king... will you do it?"

"Of course not!" he answered almost instantly.

"What if it’s the richest country in the world?"

"Nope."

"Why?" she asked.

"Why not?" his answer immediately earned a glare from his wife. He chuckled. "I am already a king in our kingdom."

Lily rolled her eyes but smiled at him. His answer was still enough to satisfy her.

"What will happen if they recognize you?" Zhuo Jingren asked.

"Oh... they will. My great grandfather gave that house to my grandfather. I think he also gave one to his other son. The late Grand Duke."

"So? What will you do?"

"Nothing. We are not related or anything."

She felt Zhuo Jingren nod. Silence permeated the car. After a few minutes, she felt the car slowed down before it finally came to a full stop.

"We’re here?" she opened her eyes and got out of the car with her husband. Lily immediately smiled at the view that welcomed her. The house was made of stone bricks perfectly laid on top of each other and precious wood. The snow blanketed its roof as the gloomy sky silhouetted its two-story frame. Giving it a very cozy vibe. She felt Zhuo Jingren wrapped his arms on her waist.

Lily shifted her gaze towards the man standing next to her. She met his eyes, and her lips lifted into a smile. "I would love to stay here." She said.

He nodded and planted a kiss on her forehead.

"Wow! This is surreal!" Bei Tian’s voice echoed, followed by the crunching sound of his boots against the ice. He approached them, a smile on his face. "Can I buy this place? I would love to have my honeymoon here."

"Yeah... you need to find a girlfriend first." Zhuo Jingren answered. "And you can buy the other cabins. Not this one." He eyed the other cabins a few meters away from the fence. Each of the cabin was made of stone bricks and wood, having their own charm.

"AhLi! You did not tell me that you have a place like this." Li Shanshan also approached them as their drivers started carrying their luggages towards the cabin. "And you said it was a cabin this is clearly a very nice house."

"Grandma called it that way." Lily shrugged. "And... I wanted to bring you the last time that we are here. You were busy with your films."

"I remember that. It was when, I had that film in the Hollywood? Do you remember?"

"Hmmm." Lily nodded. "Let’s go inside? We will freeze if we just stay here."

"Of course." Zhuo Jingren said, and everyone immediately walked towards the cabin.

"AhLi, this place is really nice. Grandma Lilian was such a peculiar woman. I did not take her as someone who would to own a place in such a remote place." Li Shanshan continued to talk as everyone approached the cabin. Meanwhile, Lily was looking at the cabin to their left. A woman was obviously watching them from the windows.

She couldn’t help but wonder if this was one of people from her grandfather’s native land. Lily decided to ignore it and just focus on their current vacation. She was not really interested in knowing those people, anyway.
