《Mr. Vampire’s Wife》Chapter 186: New Rumors
Advertisement
At the secretary department
After Lilica had left the room, everyone was still gossiping.
“Wait… Isn’t the CEO already married? She used to come here quite frequently. I believe her name was Lilienne.” A guy spoke up when he just remembered that he used to be the one to serve her tea many months ago.
“Oh, right! I almost forgot since the CEO was absent for so many months. So, does this mean that the CEO divorced once and remarried? Was that why they had just gotten married last week?” another answered.
“Possible. So, this means that Lilica had actually destroyed a perfectly happy marriage? Does this mean that the rumor that she had seduced the CEO was true after all?”
“You can’t judge a book by its cover after all. Even though she looked so innocent and kind, she actually had the heart to destroy a happy couple! I even thought that she was a nice person before!”
“I can’t believe this! Are all foreigners like this? Stealing other’s husbands?”
The whole office continued gossiping without aa care, defaming Lilica by every second.
Suddenly, the door opened once again. Everyone turned to look at Suzuna who had just entered strangely. How could she still befriend such a vixen?
“Huh? What’s wrong?” Suzuna noticed the weird glances.
“Suzuna! Don’t befriend that vixen! You don’t know her true colors!” a girl quickly went up to Suzuna to warn her.
“Vixen? You mean Lilica? She isn’t like what the rumors portray her to be! She’s a good person!” Suzuna stood up for Lilica.
“No! Don’t you know that the CEO was already married way before he went on business trips? This meant that Lilica seduced him and actually ruined his perfectly happy marriage! Look at her now! Looking so happy after stealing other’s husbands.” The girl continued insulting Lilica.

“She may not have seduced him! The CEO could be having some problems with his previous marriage and gotten a divorce. After that, he met Lilica and married her. It could be something like this too, right?” Suzuna frowned when she heard the insults. There was no way Lilica was so evil!
“I don’t know what the truth is, but you better stay away from her just in case.” The girl warned before she went back to her seat. After that, everyone went back to doing their work.
In Kazuya’s office
Lilica opened the door without knocking and saw Kazuya arranging the things on her desk for her. However, in his mouth was the cap for her favorite pen.
“What are you doing?” Lilica asked. She saw that he was writing something on a piece of paper with her pen.
“Nothing!” Kazuya quickly hid the paper guiltily and put the cap back on the pen, pretending that nothing was wrong.
“What are you hiding?” Lilica asked as she reached out to grab the paper.
“Nothing~” Kazuya denied but his tone totally betrayed him.
Lilica hugged him, surprising him. She then reached for the paper that he was hiding behind his back.
She successfully took the paper from him and stepped back to read the paper.
‘Hot springs
Trip abroad
Beach
Indoors Swimming Pool
Human world or Dem-’
It seems like he was still in the middle of finishing the word ‘demon’.
“What is this list?” Lilica asked as she couldn’t figure out what it was for.
“Sigh… Now that you’ve seen it, I guess I can’t surprise you anymore. I was making a list for our honeymoon trip.” Kazuya replied as he held her hand sweetly.
“You remembered?” Lilica felt a little surprised. Even she herself had forgotten about it.

“O-of course!” Kazuya stuttered as he felt a little guilty. Actually, he had forgotten all about it but when he went back to ask Lilica how she wanted to arrange her desk, he had overheard her and Suzuna talking about the honeymoon. It was then that he finally remembered the honeymoon. Staying with her everyday was already like a honeymoon so it completely slipped his mind.
“Really?” Lilica teased when she noticed the guilt in his tone.
Being stared at by her beautiful eyes, Kazuya gave in and replied truthfully, “I lied. I overheard you and your desk mate talking about a honeymoon, so I remembered.”
Lilica chuckled at how he always eventually gave in to her. He’s so obedient!
“So, where do you want to go for our honeymoon?” Kazuya asked. He really had no idea where to go since he was worried for her health. Hot springs is a good option, but pregnant women shouldn’t stay in a hot tub for too long. Although travelling abroad seemed good, it wasn’t the best for the baby. The beach would mean exposing her skin to other guys, so it was a big no. In that case, an indoor swimming pool may be good since he could just book the whole pool for themselves. But there was also the question of whether they should have their honeymoon in the demon or human realm.
