Chapter 577 What if...

Sky City

The lingering aroma of black coffee inside the kitchen made Lily frowned. She stared at the mug in Zhou Jingren's hands. "That coffee smells… weird." She uttered and went back to reading the book in her hand. Since the fire at the mansion, Lily and Zhou Jingren decided to stay for a few weeks in Sky City before going back to The Peak. This is because Zhou Jingren did a lot of changes in the house for security.

"Then… I won't have this brand of coffee anymore." He said as he put the mug to the sink. "It's a new brand that I decided to try because of Chef Yang's suggestions."

"Hmmm… we should drink more tea instead of coffee." She said. Lily understands that pregnant women have a better sense of smell than normal people. However, she had actually not experienced smelling something that made her uncomfortable, until now. "And keep that coffee away from me." She added as she started eating her salad. She then shifted her gaze towards Yang Mi. "It's Sunday… you are supposed to have a day off. Why are you here?"

"I receive some phone calls from Mr. Qin Chuan. He had been asking if you are going to be busy in the next few weeks. He wanted to schedule a visit and have dinner with you and Qin Yuanfeng."

"He should have called me."

"He said… he does not want to disturb your rest. Moreover, he only wanted to know if you are going to be free. So he called me instead." Yang Mi explained.

"Alright… I guess I would have sometime after I cross the first trimester two weeks from now. Book an excellent restaurant for dinner."

"I understand." Yang Mi nodded. She glanced at Zhuo Jingren as she wondered why Lily seemed to be in a poor mood this morning. She wondered if it was because they fought or… it was because of the coffee. She shook her head inwardly. Maybe being pregnant would make someone more unpredictable. The thought of pregnancy instantly made her cringe.

This is the reason why Yang Mi would never want to become pregnant.

"President… there is also something that Cathy and Mr. Qin Yuanfeng discovered in social media just yesterday. I figured… you needed to know this." She handed Lily the tablet that was showing a screenshot of a social media post. "Qin Yuanfeng created a…" she made a deliberate pause. "Like a program that would detect Chen Shi's image once posted on any social media platform. He is uh… very adamant that we create something like this for the people who offended you in the past."

Lily furrowed her brows. She narrowed her eyes at the photo before giving the tablet to Zhou Jingren that was sitting opposite to her. Chen Shi and Qi Xia? That is an unexpected collaboration, however… the man sitting next to Qi Xia is a different story.

"Where did he get this?" Zhou Jingren asked. Yesterday, he and Lily spent the entire day lazing around while watching movies. Since he does not want to be disturbed by any random call, he put his phone on silent and discovered that he missed a call from Qin Yuanfeng last night.

"An attendant working in a restaurant posted it. The images were taken down a few hours after it was posted. f course it was already too late. It was obvious that she took it without their consent."

"Zhou Huifang? I thought his father and sister took care of him and convinced him that Zhou Kang is the evil one?" Lily asked Zhou Jingren. "What is he trying to do now?"

"He always thought he would inherit the company after his father." Zhou Jingren said. "I will tell his father about this matter."

Lily pursed her lips before she nodded. Chen Shi, Qi Xia, and Zhou Huifang are people from different industries. Aside from business prospects, the only reason that those three are seeing each other is because of Lily and Zhou Jingren. Slowly Lily rested her elbow on the table as she started twirling her hair around her finger.

They are planning something. They should be. Lily then looked at Zhou Jingren. "Are you aware of this program that Yuanfeng is making?"

"I am. I have helped him create some algorithms for this software."

"A software…" Lily uttered, her tone soft as she smiled. "So… it is something that we can install in a computer and we can use remotely for another purpose?" she asked.

"We created it to track social media posts and mentions about you and the people who might target us. There is no other purpose." Zhou Jingren said, his voice stern, hoping that it would be enough to change Lily's mind.

As Lily's man, Zhou Jingren already knew that Lily is thinking about the other thing that can make her happy. Profits.

"Oh! But… we can also create something similar and install it…"

"No." Zhou Jingren said. Seeing his serious face, Lily laughed and shifted her gaze to Yang Mi.

"Yang Mi… you should find someone like him in the future. Someone that is not afraid to say no even if…" she looked at Zhou Jingren as the smile on her face vanished. "He knows that he will sleep on the couch tonight."

Yang Mi gave Lily an awkward smile as she shook her head inwardly. The President's tendency of thinking about profits while dealing with some issues is very… unique. How could she think about enemies then just switch to thinking about ways of earning money?

Yang Mi tried her best to keep a straight face. "President, since it is Sunday, I am not staying for long." She managed to say before excusing herself and leaving Sky City.

As someone who had been around Lily all this time, Yang Mi can see the changes from her attitude. She cringed. Being pregnant is scary, ah!

Yang Mi made a mental note not to get pregnant. She could not deal with something like this. Moreover, Lily seemed lucky not to experience the morning sickness from the movies. What if she is not like that?

And what if… she won't find a husband as understanding as Zhou Jingren?
