The Villain's Wife

135

Yu Yan had been crying her hearts out for almost an hour now. She could feel herself weakening as time passed by. Is she going to faint like this? Where are the people who were supposed to look for her? How about Lisa? Did he even cared that she disappeared and stopped answering her phone? Glancing at her vibrating phone, she let out a curse. It was not Lisa. If he would call her, she would surely answer. Didn't he know this? Doesn't he care at all?

The people who had been calling her are all staff and people who work directly under her. There was no Lisa or even Sehun! What was happening? What about her speech? Did they forget about her?

"You are extremely stupid." a cold voice interrupted her thoughts. She instantly froze, hoping that it was Lisa. "For you to come here and wait for someone to find you is just stupid." Yu Yan suddenly turned around, only to see Qi Xia smoking just a few feet away from her.

"Why are you here?" she asked.

"I could ask you the same. But I already know why you are here." he scoffed. The nearby post illuminated half of his face in the park. The smell of cigarettes instantly assaulted Yu Yan's senses.

"You were supposed to stay at the party and try to talk to Jennie!"

"Like that is going to happen with her husband around." another scoffed escaped his lips. "Sehun was the one who made the speech by the way and he told everyone. Including your dear father that you are sick. He got worried and left. He should be on his way to your place."

"What!?" Yu Yan rose from one of the stone benches that was placed at the park for visitors and kids to sit. "Why would they do that? I..."

"You left. Did you expect them to come and find you? Call the police because a mature woman disappeared?"

"You-"

"I am getting tired of your plans Yu Yan. Mr. Zhuo Kang had contacted me and told me that you will be in charge of having Lisa. If you will continue doing this... then I'm afraid that he will have to ask your father to pay for his debt with him." Qi Xia said. After his last talk with Jennie just a couple of nights ago. He had realized that it would be difficult for him to have a decent conversation with Jennie. She was guarded, and her sharp tongue, as well as her ability to make people mad, was top class. He had never met anyone like Jennie. However, instead of losing hope and giving up, Qi Xia felt challenged. A woman like Jennie deserved it all. "We both know Mr. Lin cannot afford that. Right?"

"Can't you see? I have been extremely pushy, and I am doing my best to attract his attention. I like Lisa for a long time now! I truly do! But look! He won't even consider all the efforts I made in arranging this whole thing! If not for him... do you think... do you think I would do all this? He originally declined this invitation! And I am sure he only agreed because of his wife!"

"Then do better! Do something more! Just do everything to get your goal!"

"Shut up!" Yu Yan glared at the man in front of her. "I know you are only pushing me to do it because you like that woman! Why don't you get her by yourself? You coward!" Yu Yan snapped. She had been incomplete stress lately because of her father receiving threats from Kang and the Zhuo Family Patriarch. Because of a 'debt' that her father was not even aware of, she had been forced to meet a lot of men lately for marriage prospects. People with good backgrounds and family money that could potentially save them.

"Well... If you don't want to... I can just-" he threw away his cigarette and turned his back on her.

"Stop! Qi Xia stop right there!" Yu Yan ran towards Qi Xia and blocked his way. "You can't do that! Just- Just give me time! That's all I need. A little more time!"
