"You seem really kind today," Zhou Jingren noted. "Was it because of the french fries?" He smiled as he watched Lily remove her robes and lie down next to him.
"What do you mean?" she feigned ignorance. "I am always kind."
"Hmmm… that is true." Chuckling, he put the book he was reading on the bedside table and turned towards her. "Are you planning on using her?"
"My… My… Why would you even think that? Do you see me as a vile creature taking advantage of a weak woman like her?"
"Would it hurt you if I said yes?"
"Yes." She smiled.
"Then no. You are kind and beautiful and harmless. A goddess sent by the heavens."
Lily responded with a low chuckle. She beamed at her husband's words. "Gannon needs to suffer. That man… is a predator." She turned towards the ceiling. "Of course, Xun Yiyi made some poor choices too. And she will pay for that. This wasn't Gannon's fault entirely."
