The Villain's Wife

The Villain’s Wife 476 Singapore Sling

"Singapore Sling?" Lily lifted an eyebrow as she let Zhou Jingren pulled her towards the elevator. "Like a cocktail drink?"

"Bei Tian told me we should try it. He said we can’t leave Singapore without drinking Singapore Sling." He answered before looking down at her sneakers. "I like your outfit, today."

Lily pouted in response. "I look good in everything, alright? I chose casual clothing since I don’t want to stand out. I mean..." she shrugged and smiled. "You know how beautiful women like me always attract everyone... hmmm," She widened her eyes when the latter suddenly pulled her for a kiss.

"I thought you chose sneakers because you don’t want to walk in heels?" He said. They couple decided not to drive and spend the day walking instead. His lips curled into a boyish grin. "But yes, your reasoning is acceptable too. Awww... why did you pinch me?"

She rolled her eyes. "Are you saying that I am not beautiful?" Her words instantly earned a burst of laughter from her husband. "Why are you laughing? Stop it!"

In response, Zhou Jingren pursed his lips, trying to stop the laughter that bubbled inside him. Seeing this, Lily frowned and crossed her arms around her chest. "I’m not talking to you." She turned towards the wall. The Ding of elevator followed her words. Lily was expecting Zhou Jingren to pull her towards him so they can walk out of the elevator together. Who would have thought that he would do something crazy instead?

"You are the most beautiful woman that I have ever seen. The only woman that I have ever loved. Please... my wife, grace me with your smile." He uttered, his voice loud enough for the whole lobby to hear. Lily immediately widened her eyes. She looked at the number of guests staring at them before she cleared her throat and pulled him out of the elevator. She hastily took him outside.

Zhou Jingren immediately fell into a fit of laughter the moment they went out of the hotel. His shoulders shook as pulled Lily for a hug.

"You’re crazy." She uttered. Before pinching his stomach.

"Crazy for you."

"Stop making me cringe!"

"Then stop being too cute."

"I am not cute. Dogs are cute! Do I look like a dog to you!?" She stomped her feet and walked in the opposite direction.

"Where are you going?" He hasten his steps and followed her. "Hey... you are going in the opposite direction." Lily immediately halted her steps and turned to look at her husband. She glared at him as she leaned closer.

"We are not sleeping together for a week." Seeing his face change, Lily immediately gave a victorious smile.

"How about we think about life together and not make hasty decisions?" He held her hand. His face stern. "Deciding when you are angry is always wrong. We should get therapy together so we could deal with these anger issues. What do you think?"

Lily narrowed her eyes. She intertwined her hands into his and tried to stop the smile on her face. "You want therapy because... I asked you to sleep on the couch for a week?"

"Of course not. I am not that shallow." The couple started walking.

"Then?"

"It’s a therapy about life! You know... life and its complications."

"What are you talking about?" She furrowed her brows. "Are you trying to divert the conversation?"

"No... I am trying to make an offer."

"Money?" Lily beamed.

"Of course not. Milk tea."

She stared at his side profile, wondering if he was joking. "Who drinks milk tea?"

"Nowadays, millennial drink milk tea while shopping. You know... younger people." He paused and looked at her."I am not calling you old, alright? Im just saying that we really should try milk tea. Bei Tian said it’s good. Even Go Jichen agreed with him."

"Is that so..."

Zhou Jingren immediately nodded as if his life depended on it.

"I think it’s high time that I and Bei Tian have a serious talk about... life." Lily narrowed her eyes.

"So..." Zhou Jingren hesitated. He stared at Lily’s face for a few seconds. "No... Milk tea?"

"Of course not! Why would I drink something like that?"

............................

A few hours later.

"Too much milk tea is bad for your health." Zhou Jingren uttered as they walked inside the Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands. "I won’t allow you to buy more of that drink." He said sternly. "Seriously... this will cause some problems in your stomach."

"But it’s really good," Lily said as she seeped. Seeing her husband’s serious look, she nodded and immediately throw her finished milk tea into the trash. "Next time, don’t introduce me to stuff like that again." She smiled.

"You said you didn’t like it."

"Well, that’s only because I haven’t had one yet." She beamed. "You know... this should be my first time in this place. We should just enjoy it and stop thinking about milk tea." Zhou Jingren wanted to argue. Who is thinking about milk tea? Lily was the one who finished three batches of the tea! However, he chose to keep his opinions to himself and just held Lily’s hand. Helplessness flashed in his eyes.

Since this is Lily’s first time in Marina Bay Sands the couple decided to take a stroll as they walk hand in hand.

"Alright... I am buying you a watch." Lily said when the name of a famous brand caught her eye. "Crystal Crown has the best exclusive watches in Asia." She uttered. "We should check out their newest collections this year."

Zhou Jingren wordlessly followed Lily inside the store. He already had a couple of Crystal Crown watches. However, he knew that this is not enough to stop Lily from buying more. He knew that shopping makes his wife happy. And well... whatever makes her happy will always bring a smile to his face.

"Good noon. My name is Alice. Are you looking for a specific kind of watch?" A woman, almost as tall as Lily, gave them a warm smile. She eyed Lily’s simple clothes and sneakers before her gaze lingered towards Zhou Jingren’s semi-casual clothing. Her eyes then stopped at the few paper bags that came from the Chinese shopping flea market that Zhou Jingren and Lily visited earlier. "We have a couple of watches priced for the masses. Would you like to take a look?"

"Oh... I heard that you guys have those big paper bags that you provide for your customers?" Lily asked, her eyes roamed around the display of various watches in front of her. "Would you mind giving me one of those? It will be convenient to put all the souvenirs that we bought in one big bag." She smiled as her eyes trailed back to the attendant’s face.
