The Villain's Wife

The Villain’s Wife 616 Like a Plague

"I am here to — yes. I am here to beg." Madam He decided to swallow whatever it is that is left of her pride. "About Gannon... we sincerely love each other."

"And... I’m sure your feelings have nothing to do with me" Lily said, sarcasm lace her tone as she sat on of the wrought-iron chairs.

"My point is... please don’t..." Madam He hesitated for a few minutes. She eyed Yang Mi, then shifted her gaze back to Lily. "Please don’t take him away from me."

"I’m sorry?" Lily gestured her to sit down opposite her. "What did you say?"

"I know you like Gannon and when I told him about this h— "

"Stop right there." Lily held her hand in front of the woman’s face. "Are you trying to make me laugh?" However, seeing the woman’s serious expression, Lily concluded that the woman was indeed serious. "What made you think that I like him?"

Lily fought the urge to laugh at the woman’s delusions. She tried to maintain a serious expression, however, this type of stupidity is too much for her. Before Madam He could open her mouth to utter a word, Lily already burst out laughing. Her shoulders shook as she tried to stop herself from her glee.

What kind of stupidity is this? This Madam He seemed so creative! She should just create her own art to express her creative mind!

"Please stop laughing at me." Madam He frowned.

"I was under the impression that you are here to beg me not to tell your husband about your affair," Lily said. She held her aching stomach from laughing too much as she continued. "Who would have thought that you are here to talk to me about something this... nonsense?"

"Please stop denying it. I know Gannon is very good looking. I also know that you have taken an interest in him since the first time that you saw him at the tea party."

"Madam He... let me stop you again." Lily gave her a silly grin. "Have you seen my husband?" she asked. Seeing the look on Madam He’s face, Lily let out another laughter full of ridicule. "Then... I would assume that you know he is more good looking than your.... Boy toy, right?"

"Don’t call him that!" Madam He hissed.

"Opps." Lily playfully covered her mouth. She widened her eyes at Madam He. "Apologies. My mouth loves telling the truth even without my permission."

"Please... Lily, stop mocking me like this." Madam He’s face reddened. "You are a woman. You should understand that I really liked him. I love Gannon. I can’t imagine myself living without him in my life."

"And your husband?"

Madam He’s face instantly turned stiff. She lowered her head, avoiding Lily’s gaze in the process. "I didn’t marry him because I love him. " She uttered, her voice low, almost inaudible. "I know... I know our circumstances are different so you probably don’t understand what I feel right now." She let out a sigh.

Madam He then lifted her head to stare at Lily’s face. "I love him. Please.... I am begging you. Don’t take him away from me."

"Madam He.... It seems that you failed to understand why I showed those photos to Madam Liu and her family." Lily said. "I was trying to make everyone understand that invasion of privacy is... very frightening. I was being petty, and I thought the best thing to explain it is to invade everyone’s privacy." She let out a dramatic sigh. "I was not trying to break your heart."

"But — " Madam He bit her lips. She met Lily’s eyes. "I’m sorry. If that is what you need from me... then, please... I’m sorry. I will not do it again. I will not see the Liu Family from now on. Just please... don’t make him leave me. Gannon is my everything... please." Slowly, tears welled up in her eyes. She fought the urged to cry, but it was futile.

Madam He’s emotion towards Gannon is something that only she understood. "I’m sorry." She sobbed. "I know.... I was too stupid. I know I shouldn’t have provoked you. Please — Just please forgive me."

In response, Lily lifted an eyebrow. She then eyed Yang Mi, who automatically gave the woman some tissue to wipe away her tears. "I have not talked to your Gannon since that tea party and I can assure you that he does not interest me. He is not ripe enough for my... tastes." She smiled.

"But — Liu Chin said..."

"Liu Chin wanted you to come in here to fight me," Lily said. "She is manipulating you and trying to use you against me."

Madam He lowered her gaze and started fidgeting. Seeing this, a flash of unfathomable expression glinted in Lily’s eyes. It was too fast that even Yang Mi failed to notice it. "Liu Chin wanted to ruin you. She must hate you so much for sleeping with her elder brother."

"Think about it...." Lily added. "They grew up together. I bet they were really close too. She knew that her brother loves sleeping around with women. And she does not have a problem with this. However... when she knew that you were sleeping with her brother, she instantly blew up on you. Isn’t this unfair?"

"I — You are right." Madam He said.

"Then she told you that I liked her brother?" Lily chuckled. "No offense but Gannon is not even comparable with my husband and I know... you knew this." She smiled as she leaned towards Madam He. "She only wanted us to fight. You should just avoid her like a plague."

"I— "

"Also... I am not trying to break your relationship with Gannon. I am already married and I am perfectly happy with my relationship. I am in love and will continue to love my husband every day." Lily’s expression turned gentle. "However... let me tell you this.... Someone else in the neighborhood is walking around trying to seduce every man that she can."

"What — What are you trying to say?"

"Someone is trying to seduce your Gannon, and that is not me." Lily let out a dramatic sigh. "I don’t have any intention of talking about someone behind their back but seeing you like this.... Its... it’s breaking my heart." As if on cue, Lily’s brows furrowed, her lips morphed into a sad smile. "As a woman... I just can’t help but warn you against someone that could definitely break your relationship."

"Who — Who is it?" Madam He asked.
