My Villainous Wife Chapter 173
Advertisement
Shen Liu was feeling remorseful. He hadn't done anything to get Alexander's hate, but it seems that the latter couldn't just wait to tear him apart.
Bro, I'm gay!
He wanted to say this out loud, but he decided to stand there without speaking for fear of shaming himself in front of everyone else.
"So, you want me to bring him out of here." Alexander looked back at her.
Yan Xiaoran replied, "Well, that would be nice…."
From behind, Shen Liu trembled as he wished he could refuse the offer. And as much as he wanted to go out of there, he didn't want to be stabbed by a jealous husband while they're on the way to the parking lot.
"But I think it is better if you send someone else to send him back." She finally added.
Although Shen Liu's safety was important, she couldn't risk Jack Winters thinking that Alexander was an easy prey when he's alone. Besides, what happens if Jack changes his mind and ambushes her husband with his people?
And another reason for her hesitation was because she didn't want Alexander to leave her side.
Looking at Shen Liu, Yan Xiaoran sighed to herself. Was she too selfish?
"Alright."
While she was thinking, Alexander agreed to it immediately. He didn't even need to think about it.
Alexander pulled out his phone and made a phone call, saying, "Have someone wait outside the entrance of the venue. No, not for me. Make sure to take the 'thing' out safely."
The 'thing': "…"
Shen Liu, whose position was elevated from a secretary to a company president, was finally pulled down to become a 'thing.' Never in his life did Shen Liu think that he was reduced to this, but could he complain before this male god?

Perhaps not…
"Are you not going to introduce this beautiful lady to us, Alexander?" Jin Woo approached them as he said this.
Alexander looked at him and said, "This my beloved wife."
Jin Woo: "…"
Seeing that Alexander did not plan to tell her name to the man before her, Yan Xiaoran reached her hand out first before she said, "I'm Yan Xiaoran. Nice to meet you."
"I'm Jin Woo, your husband's brother."
Yan Xiaoran was startled to hear this. "Your brothers?"
"We're not related by blood, but we consider each other as brothers," Alexander explained.
"Ahh…"
Now that she thinks about it, Long Jie also called him 'Third brother.' So, it seems that these men before her established their brotherhood.
"What do you think will happen if someone tried something at this party?" Alexander suddenly asked.
Jin Woo raised a questioning brow. He then questioned, "On the scale of 10. How dangerous this something could turn out to be?"
Alexander shook his head, "I'm not clear about it. Probably 4 or 5."
"Even with all five of us here?"
"No… with us five, it's 2 out of 10."
"I see. So, what exactly happened?"
Yan Xiaoran was the one who answered, "I heard Jack talking to the phone. He wants to isolate Adam."
"The host of the party?" Jin Woo remembered that Italian man who was beaming with a smile when he approached the masked lady earlier. He should be the next head of the family. "What does he want with him?"
"It's probably because of an internal conflict. Adam has been doing good as the next head of the Rossi family, and the rest of his family should be on their toes. They never liked him in the first place and because Adam is homosexual." Yan Xiaoran said, catching both Alexander and Jin Woo off guard.

The fact that the Rossi family didn't like Adam was never released outside. Despite being such a large group, the Rossi family takes excellent effort in preserving their reputation, and others should never hear any internal conflict in the family.
However, how did Yan Xiaoran know that Adam was homosexual?
Alexander looked at her meaningfully. After finding out her other identity, he could guess where she got this information. But why was it that his own people couldn't get it? It seems that he has to return to the base and start training them once again.
"Adam is a…." Jin Woo trailed off.
Yan Xiaoran nodded. "It's not known by many. Not even the Rossi family knew about it, but the possibility that someone in the family accidentally found out about it is high."
If her suspicion is true, it explains why Jack could get in the party without being found out. That person must have stolen the guest list before Adam could see it and added Jack to the list under a new name.
Glancing at Jack, Yan Xiaoran's eyes narrowed dangerously. She said, "We need to evacuate everyone. I'm afraid that the person who hired Jack could have planted some bombs in the party."
Jin Woo looked at her with a strange look. Although he had met his fair share of intelligent women, Yan Xiaoran was the only one who could keep a calm face while explaining and guessing these dangerous events that could happen in the nearest future.
Yan Xiaoran's words and actions greatly amazed him.
"How did you know about all this?" Even though he was amazed by her brave display, the fact that she knew more than what both he and Alexander knew about Adam and the Rossi family still baffles him.
Yan Xiaoran froze.
Shit… she said too much. How can Yan Xiaoran tell him that she got all this information from Madam Giselle as part of her training and when she was managing the entire Black Organization. The internal conflict was already written among the files she read two years ago. Still, Adam's sexual orientation was something she came across when her people gathered further background on each individual in the high society.
Just as Yan Xiaoran was looking for a lie to tell Jin Woo, Alexander came to her rescue.
"I told her about this when we were on our honeymoon," said Alexander.
Yan Xiaoran: "…"
Jin Woo: "???"
Shen Liu: "!!!"
...
Author has something to say: Pfft... Alexander is so shameless.
Yan Xiaoran: I want to complain!

8 3650The Stormcrow Cycle
Once a powerful and lauded witch, Ba'an salu-Ba'an now lives alone in a cave in the desert, waiting to die. When she rescues an outlander from certain death she becomes embroiled in a deadly game of politics and empire, of heart and soul, but worst of all--of hope and love and a chance at a peaceful future. Can a disgraced witch find a reason to live her life again--and if so, what price must she pay? The Stormcrow Cycle is a trilogy comprising of The Exile, The Lion, and Abomination. Tags or genres for each book: The Exile: romance, slice-of-life The Lion: romance, slice-of-life, politics Abomination: tragedy, high/epic fantasy (aka "Everything is on fire!") Updates once a week whenever I have time. Cross-posted on Wattpad and Scribble Hub. The CBMokedi cover will return! Excerpt: She looked down at him again. Young. Healthy, from what she could see, except for the wound that was killing him. He was handsome in a way that suggested a life of wealth and plenty. She did not think he had ever starved. Someone important. Her shadow fell across him, and he frowned. Blearily, he opened his eyes. They were amber and bright, even as he lay dying in the dirt. She could feel his soul, blazing inside of him like a fire refusing to die even as his body began to fail. He met her gaze, eyes widening in what she guessed was surprise—or shock. But he never looked away, staring up at her as though transfixed. Ba’an made her decision. She raised her hand and covered his eyes. In another moment, a murder of crows cawed as they took wing. The man and woman were gone from the road, leaving only the dead staring up into the sky. Note: This is a high-fantasy set in a low-magic world. The first book is largely character-driven and we really only hit the real plot in Book II, so if you're not fond of long epic yarns you ought to skip this one. I also don't include trigger warnings, but mind the "traumatizing content" tag--all societies minus one practice slavery and the world is indeed, rather grim!
8 163The Alpha's Rose.

Rose is the mate of one of the most powerful Alpha's in the United States, Jack, happily living together and in love she thinks:'Can life get any better?' Jinx.
