Chapter 529: To Comfort His Wife

After hawk leaves, Lily can't get him out of her mind. He is so exotic that she can't forget him, thought
they only meet once.

It is not because that man is extremely handsome, but because he has an aura that is different from
that of an ordinary person. She only has seen this kind of aura from Rex and Ryan before.

Lily is absorbed in her thoughts. She doesn't notices Rex's arrival and Rex has stood beside her for a
while. In the end, Gladys can't bear to watch anymore. Gladys quietly touches Lily's arm and says,
"Lily, Mr. Rex is here."

Only then does she regain her senses. She looks up at Rex and asks, "Are you done with your work?"

"Yes." He naturally holds Lily's soft hand and carefully rubs it in his palm. "What are you thinking? You
are so absorbed."

Lily shakes her head and says, "Nothing. Maybe I'm tired."

"Lily, go back and have a rest. You have been busy all day long. You should go home and rest early. I'll
leave when I'm done counting." Gladys takes over the detailed list from Lily.

Rex glances at Gladys and says, "It's been hard work."

"It's OK. I'm glad to do so."

When they leave the florist, it is getting late. After asking Lily for advice, he brings her to a famous fish
restaurant for dinner.

"Did you ask Pehry to get the wedding dress?"

Lily looks up from the menu and says, "Yeah. You don't have time."



Speaking of wedding dresses, she can't help but feel unhappy. They had made an appointment, but
Rex suddenly went back on his word because of business. However, it is her wedding dress, so Lily is
upset that Rex couldn't go with her to get it.

Rex can tell that she is unhappy. They are sitting opposite at a dining table in public. Rex is thin-
skinned and doesn't know how to comfort Lily after thinking for a long time. He can only ask bluntly,
"Are you angry that I couldn't go with you?"

Lily's heart is filled with anger. She looks up and glares at him reproachfully. She doesn't say anything.
After ordering a few dishes, she hands the menu back to the waiter. The waiter leaves, and she pours
herself a glass of water and drink.

"Why aren't you talking?" Rex asks.

She's sulking right now so she doesn't want to talk.

Seeing that she turn around, Rex realizes the seriousness of this matter. He changes his seat and sits
beside her. "The meeting was in an emergency. I couldn't leave."

Lily knows that the meeting is impromptu and important, because she has been a lawyer for at least six
years.

However, although she knows why, she will still have a grudge in her heart. She says angrily, "You said
that I was more important than your job. But you forgot it when you work."

"I promise it won't happen again." Rex, who is a kick-ass lawyer, is humbly currying favor with his wife.
If others see him, they will be shocked.

Lily doesn't keep pestering. She puts down the glass and winks at him, "Then compensate me."

"OK, tell me what you want."



He is happy that she has a request.

Lily blurts out without thinking, "I'm going to Y City for a business trip at the beginning of next month for
two days. Go with me!"

Y City is a coastal city in the south. The weather there is fine now in late autumn and early winter. The
temperature there is warmer than that of J City. They can enjoy the travel after work.

Rex counts the time and asks, "When are we going?"

"The first two days of next month."

If it were before, Rex would have agreed without hesitation. But now he gets such an important case,
he has no choice but to check his schedule.

Seeing him take out his phone and check his schedule, Lily has a scrunched-up face. She pulls his
sleeve and pleas, "Forget your schedule. Just two days. Make the time. It's been a long time since we
have gone out alone."

Rex looks helplessly at the Lily and says, "Lily..."

"I won't listen! I know what you want to say. Don't use work as an excuse," Lily says egoistically.

Looking at her trying to pretend that she is not angry, Rex thinks that she is very cute. She will never
bother him for these matters. Maybe she is unhappy for being neglected recently, so she says so.

She has always been ashamed of telling her feelings. Since she has suggested it, Rex doesn't want to
refuse her.

"Are you sure you want me to go with you?" Rex raises his eyebrows slightly and smiles mischievously.

"I am sure. Will you go with me?"



"Yes." He finally promises her. Looking at her exquisite and beautiful face, Rex softens his heart, "My
wife is angry. I have to do what she wants."

His dark eyes are as beautiful as black pearls and full of affection. Lily blushes to look at them.

She whispers, "I haven't married you yet. I am not your wife."

Rex is unhappy to hear what she says and pinches on her waist gently. Lily cries out in surprise. He
bends over to whisper in her ear through clenched teeth, "Do you want me to marry another woman?"

Before Lily can speak, the waiter pushes open the door of the private room from outside. They maintain
an intimate posture. Lily is holding Rex's arm while Rex is whispering in her ear. From behind, it looks
like they are kissing.

The waiter is dumfounded and stammers, "The... the food is ready."

Lily blushes. She pushes away Rex and strikes her hair. She feels so embarrassed that she wants to
die.

However, Rex is calm as if nothing happens. He sits uprightly and says to waiter calmly, "Bring us the
food."

His handsome face is with indifference. Lily thinks that he is completely a wolf in sheep's clothing. He is
so sanctimonious.

After the waiter finishes serving the dishes and leaves the private room, Rex looks at Lily and asks,
"What's wrong?"

Lily expresses her surprise, "Who can imagine that you are like this privately? You are usually
indifferent."



Rex is amused, "Like what?"

"Like really different from what you pretend to be."

"Didn't you know that the day you met me?" he says and looks at Lily's chest meaningfully.

Lily understands what he means.

She bites her lips and blushes. Her face is as red as a cooked shrimp. "What... what are you talking
about?"

Looking at her blushed face, Rex seems to see the little girl who was naive many years ago. He eyes
fill with lust and he says in a low voice, "You must have me go on to the trip with you on purpose."

"No, I don't." Lily's eyes widen in anger. She understands what he means.

"Stop explaining. I understand everything. You can say it out directly. Don't be shy."

What is it? What should she say? She doesn't think anything at all!

Just as Lily is about to argue, Rex puts a piece of fish meat into her mouth and says, "Eat."

The tender fish melts on the tongue and is delicious. When she sees that Rex is carefully removing the
small bones from fish for her, she doesn't feel angry anymore but feels love.
