The Villain's Wife

The grin on Lily's face became even more brilliant. "Bang!" She said before laughing out loud. Seeing Bei Tian pale as he stared at her, only made Lily snort. "Not loaded." She uttered before walking back to Zhou Jingren.

Sometimes, playing with Bei Tian was too fun, Lily could not say no to herself.

"Is she crazy?" Bei Tian stood next to Zhou Jingren. "And you didn't even help me!"

"I unloaded the gun myself." Zhou Jingren said. "I thought you were leaving?"

"I am!" Bei Tian snarled. "I have a flight in two hours. I was here to say goodbye and of course to check if her aim improved." His voice became louder. "No improvement. Ouch!" Zhou Jingren suddenly elbowed him.

"You are playing with fire."

Bei Tian made a face in response. He then turned towards Lily who was closely examining the target. "Let her practice without pressing the trigger so she will get used to it."

"Hmmm." Zhou Jingren nodded. "Wait for me." He said before walking towards Lily. "Hey…" He kissed her temple. "Don't mind him. You did a good job."

"Of course, I did a good job!" Lily smiled. She intentionally made her voice louder. "Why don't you let me use him as a target? You know… to see if I can really hit the head?"

"Oi! You are going overboard! Just because you are a woman doesn't mean I will let you talk to me like that!" Bei Tian chimed in.

"Talk like what?" Folding her arms across her chest, Lily raised an eyebrow at him.

"You know…" Bei Tian said. "Like a target!" He said. "You can't talk to me as if I have no emotions, ah! I easily get offended and hurt." He pouted, prompting Lily to laugh again. She then turned towards her husband. "I think I will go for one more round."

"I will go to the office upstairs. I'm sure the lawyers and that woman are coming." He said. "Yang Mi will accompany you." He leaned down to kiss her lips before he walked out of the range with the smug Bei Tian in tow.

"President." Yang Mi said next to her. "That Bei Tian is going overboard. Mocking you like this just because he is a little talented? Hmp! We should show him that you are capable of being the best at everything!"

"Yang Mi…" Lily smiled. "He is trying to challenge me." Of course, this was not going to work to against Lily. She knew that her skills were limited. "And… we can't be the best at everything. I can't just wake up tomorrow and become an expert at everything."

"But President," Yang Mi bit her lips. Until now, she could not recover from the fact that Bei Tian was better than her. She hated that man. "I think you should train very well and show them a miracle." She uttered.

In response, Lily shook her head. A smile was still on her face. Of course, she would continue to practice. She knew that her aim would improve soon. Of course, not to the point of defeating a man who killed people for a living.

Lily was not that ambitious. This was not a fantasy world where people just learned skills overnight. She chuckled at her own thoughts. "Of course, I will." She nodded before turning towards the unloaded gun. After wearing a face mask, Lily loaded the gun before aiming it to the next target.

She might not be an expert at shooting but… she will never hesitate to kill someone to protect the people that she loved. With or without a gun, Lily was sure she won't have second thoughts in defending herself and her family.

Another Bang reverberated inside the range. It was followed by another, then another until Lily exhausted all the thirty three rounds inside the magazine. With a smile on her face, Lily removed the face mask and made sure the gun is now empty with the special bullets that Zhou Jingren ordered that will be safe for a pregnant woman like her.

"President, Secretary Go said that the other party already arrived to talk to President Zhou. The woman was with two lawyers and two bodyguards." Yang Mi informed Lily. In response, she nodded.

"I will change." She said before washing her hands. Lily was currently wearing a tactical outfit that Zhou Jingren chose for her. This outfit included something that could protect her stomach.

"President, you actually hit the center! Once!" Yang Mi almost jumped in happiness when she saw the target.

"It was luck." Lily said. All she needed to do is learn shooting, practice and become an expert in handling a gun. Then… she could rely on her luck. Smiling, Lily walked towards the executive elevator that will lead them towards Zhou Jingren's office.

"So she actually came huh." Lily muttered. She was talking about the woman who filed a case against Zhou Jingren's security company. She filed a case of sexual assault against a superior and claimed that the company was sexist for mostly hiring men instead of women.

"President, Secretary Go also said that the lawyer Miss Su is bringing women who you might recognize. They are international lawyers who support women's rights." Yang Mi eyed Lily. "These lawyers tend to involve themselves in cases that involve sexual harassment against corporations and big companies. They represent women who cannot afford to represent themselves. And they mostly get what they want. Mostly."

"Interesting." Lily smiled as she walked out of the elevator. With the same smile on her face, Lily started undressing herself and changing into something comfortable- a knee length dress that could hide her bump. She then paired it with medium heels and a black coat that completed her formal look.

"President, here are the files." Yang Mi handed Lily a folder. "This contains the new demands that the woman made for her to withdraw her case against the company."

"Demands." Lily pursed her lips. "The audacity." She sneered as she walked out of the office and walked towards the elevator that would lead them to the conference room.
