The Villain's Wife

"I guess the media was right to paint you as a ruthless businessman," Qi Xia said calmly. His words only earned a snort of derision from Lisa.

"I am indeed ruthless to my enemies," Lisa nodded. "The things that Miss Mu did... I've killed people for less."

Qi Xia turned speechless at Lisa's words. Even now, he still can't comprehend why Lisa is reacting with such intensity. "Your words baffle me, President Manoban. How could someone like you talk about killing people as easily as breathing?"

"Because it is as easy as breathing," Lisa countered, his dark eyes sending shivers down Qi Xia's spine. How could someone casually talk about killing people? This man... His gaze shifted towards Jennie, whose face did not show a single reaction to her husband's chilling words.

"I think this conversation has become highly uncomfortable. We have different principles, and the fact that you are talking about this in front of me is very disturbing." Qi Xia rose from his seat before glancing at Jennie. "You have one dangerous man, Miss Jennie," he uttered before walking out of the room with a grim expression. By now, Qi Xia fully understood that he is very inferior when compared to Lisa. Unbeknownst to him, he was also inferior in terms of intelligence. As with all idiots, this inferiority just made him want to strive harder.

For some reason, seeing Jennie happy with a man like that made him a little irritated. Jennie doesn't deserve someone as ruthless as Lisa. She deserves someone better, someone like him, he thought before laughing inwardly. Right now he could not offer anything to Jennie. She already has everything.

Moreover, it was obvious that Lisa was leagues above him. Right now, he lacked the capability to stand against Lisa. But would he allow the scenario to stay like this forever? No. Qi Xia does not like being defeated.

Qi Xia dialed Hongjoong's number. After a few rings, Hongjoong answered.

"I failed. I won't be able to seduce your sister," he said. He wanted to add 'yet,' but he was hesitant to inform Hongjoong of his future plans. "You don't have to invest in my team," he added before ending the call. Then he stood in front of his car for a moment as he gazed back at the restaurant. Jennie's smile suddenly appeared in his mind. He can't seem to forget Jennie's dazzling eyes as she bantered with Lisa.

Right now, he has nothing of any value that he could offer to Jennie. In fact, he has nothing but his family name and his extremely big ego. However, he will come back soon. One day, Qi Xia knew in his heart, he would come back and make that woman his.

....

"I wonder what kind of dirt this guy has on Alexandra," Jennie thought out loud after Qi Xia left. "This is practically suicide on her part. Why would she allow Qi Xia to influence her decision?"

"That guy is a fox," Lisa noted. "He should be smart enough to stay away for now while waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike."

"It doesn't matter," Jennie answered. "I don't like him."

Her words only earned a teasing smile from Lisa. "He is a little good-looking and he's rich too. What's not to like about him?"

"He has dime eyes. Tiny little rat-like dime eyes. His eyes are too small and evil. He is not as tall as you and his skin is tanner than that of the laziest of trust fund kids," Jennie answered.

"Very superficial, I see," Lisa laughed.

"I told you my standards are high."

"Does this mean that I passed this 'very high standard' that you speak of?"

"Barely," Jennie answered, earning a boisterous laugh from her husband. In response she rolled her eyes before drinking the remaining wine from her glass. What can she say? Jennie has always been the type of person who loves beauties.
