Chapter 628 Manipulation

"If I hadn't known that you talked to Xun Yiyi, I would never have believed that you have this style in manipulating people to do your bidding." Gannon Liu continued. "Who would have thought that fooling her would be this easy?" He chuckled. In response, Lily walked a few steps away from him without saying anything.

Xun Yiyi was Madam He's name. This Gannon must have come to know about what Madam He had done to Adalind. Lily walked towards the cuff link section.

"Why are you avoiding me?" Gannon's deep voice echoed behind her. "Don't worry. I won't utter a word." He chuckled, amusement apparent in his tone. 

"Mr. Liu… please stop following me around." Lily said without looking at him. "You are not the type of pet that I am willing to adopt."

"What?" Gannon lifted an eyebrow. "Hahaha…" he burst into a puddle of laughter. "How amusing."

"You are a very interesting woman." Gannon mused. When Gannon knew about what Madam He did, he honestly could not believe it. How could Madam He fall for the manipulation that Lily used to make her hate Adalind? When in fact, Adalind never once caught his attention.

True, the woman was drop-dead gorgeous. However… easy women were not his type. He would always prefer women who avoided him, women who say no, women who hate him on their first meeting. Conquering them is just more satisfying than women who open their legs to everyone.

He eyed Lily's side profile and was not able to stop the grin that was appearing on his lips. A strong and independent woman who was at the pinnacle of the business world. Surely, conquering someone like Lily would be more satisfying than ordinary housewives that he had slept with.

"Did you know that you are a very interesting character?" He asked. He knew that Lily wouldn't answer him. However, was this really enough to stop him from getting to know her? He eyed the tie in Lily's hands. "So... you like red? Is it because… it means power and strength?" he asked as curiosity flashed in his eyes.

Again, Lily didn't answer him. Talking to a man like Gannon was just a waste of her time.

"You know… I can always tell Xun Yiyi that you are only manipulating her. I am sure she will hate you if that happens." Gannon uttered. As expected, his words made Lily turn her head towards him. 

"You're threatening me." She uttered in a low voice.

"Well if you like, we can discuss this over some coffee or tea?" He lifted an eyebrow as a smug smile crept across his face. "Surely, twenty minutes won't affect your schedule, right?"

"You can try." Lily shifted her gaze back to the cuff links. "I'm sure Liu Chin will be ecstatic to know that I sent her files to the media because of you."

"Wicked." He beamed

Lily smiled. She turned to look at Gannon. "You have no idea�� what wicked is, Mr. Liu." She then walked towards the attendant, so that she could pay for the ties she chose for Zhou Jingren.

Gannon let out another smile as he watched Lily leave the store with her secretary in tow. "What an interesting woman." He uttered before picking out the exact ties that Lily had chosen for Zhou Jingren.

....

"President, that man is extremely shameless." Yang Mi said when they left the store. "From our research, I've gathered that he has slept with at least four women in The Peak, all married. All older than him by a few years."

"He is a pig," Lily uttered. "Call Madam He for me. Tell her I would like to have a coffee with her." She uttered. "Preferably today."

Yang Mi instantly nodded and dialed Madam He's number. The woman had been asking to meet Lily since the other way. There was no way that Madam He would decline Lily's request. And just as she expected, Madam instantly agreed to meet with Lily. 

Madam He was even so excited when she heard that Lily had free time to meet with her this afternoon. After Lily finished her shopping, she immediately went to her meeting with Madam He in one of the coffee shops just a couple of blocks away from the mall.

When Madam He saw Lily, she almost jumped from joy. She beamed, her face full of happiness.

"You're not going to drink coffee?" Madam He asked when she saw Lily order some milk tea instead. "The coffee in this place is the best."

"Oh." Lily shook her head. "I am trying to have a healthy lifestyle." She smiled. "We are trying."

Madam He's eyes widened at Lily's words. "Really? Oh my! That sounds really exciting. I am happy for you. Did you already see a doctor?" This sentence from Lily totally removed any and all the suspicions that Madam He had in her mind about Lily. Lily and Zhou Jingren were already planning to have a child. There is no way that Lily would have the time, energy, or even interest to steal Gannon away from her.

"Yes. I used to work really hard in Europe and it has somehow made me lead an unhealthy lifestyle the past few years. So the doctor advised me to have a very healthy lifestyle."

"I am so excited for you! My parents know a lot of specialists in the field of medicine. I can ask them to find someone that could help you." Madam He offered. The sooner Lily got pregnant, the better it was for her and Gannon.

While Madam He truly considered Lily her friend and confidant, she could not stop the insecurity from sprouting in her mind. After all, Lily was still a woman. To her, every woman is a threat when it comes to her relationship with her Gannon.

"We already found one from Japan. So… we will be traveling a lot in the next few weeks. I might even stay in Japan next month." Lily lied without batting an eyelid. "How about you? Are you planning to have a child anytime soon?"
