Lazily Yours.

Chapter 52: Treacherous Heart

"BANG!"

"She actually dare to say no?" Xie Jun's saliva flew everywhere as he threw the ball that he was holding towards the wall, creating a loud bang in the process. "She declined to see you? The nerve of that woman! Does she know who you are?"

Long Yi just gave a wry smile. Honestly, this was something that he never expected. In this school, women would fight one other just to serve him! After all, the Long Family was really prosperous as of the moment. All his life, women were the ones who approached him because of the benefits that he could provide them with. It was never the other way around. However, now

"Are you going to visit the Huang Family soon?" Zhang Zhi asked. Just like Xie Jun, he was surprised that his cousin would really dare to use lame reasons just to decline Long Yi's visit. He never actually thought that Lyca would be so courageous!

"I will. Me and my father will soon visit the old man. I will be with Aunt Ying and we already have the support of your second uncle, Huang Li Duo Huang Xiaoxuan's father!"

"Then that is good!" Zhang Zhi immediately got excited.

Of course, Lyca was not happy to hear this news from Shen Qui. "Really?" Her face was grim as she eyed the man opposite him.

"Yes. Why the hell would he go and see Old Man Huang?" Shen Qui's gaze turned sharp. "Unless wait they want a marriage alliance?" He let out a surprise gasp. "They want to" his gaze turned complicated. Seeing Lyca's dark look, Shen Qui immediately excused himself. "I make you some orange juice." This woman needed to relax!

He immediately went to the kitchen and made her some fresh orange juice. When he turned towards Lyca's room, the other was already standing a few feet away from him. He flinched, surprised at her sudden appearance. An ominous feeling rose inside him. "What- Nevermind, here is your juice."

"Shen Qui, do you like me?" she leaned towards him, showing a little bit of her chest that was covered by her thin robe. She smiled and batted her eyelids.

"No," he answered, his face stern. "I mean"

"Good!" The smile on her face disappeared as she nodded, satisfied at the lack of emotion on his face. "Then marry me."

Shen Qui turned silent for a few seconds. He looked at her cold face. "I can't." He shook his head and handed her the juice. His face was solemn as he added. "Don't marry someone you don't love. It won't have a good ending." Without waiting for Lyca to say anything. He already walked towards his room, locking the door behind him.

This expression surprised her. She stood frozen. She was not really serious in the first place. She too would never marry someone she didn't love. But what was that reaction? She frowned and eyed the now closed door of his room. Then she shrugged and went to her own room.

After that, the topic of marriage was never brought up again. Lyca and Shen Qui continued working on their own. Days slowly passed. Lyca of course keeps on winning at an alarming rate that even the student council was planning to meet her to at least stop this madness.

Of course, Lyca was already anticipating for that day to come. It wasn't even a month yet and her reputation inside the school as the most peculiar person was already carved in everyone's heart.

Today, Lyca brought her parents to her room. Her smile was so brilliant it was enough to blind Shen Qui. He stared as Lyca was talking happily at her mother, boasting about her achievements so far.

This This wasn't the Lyca that he knew! Shen Qui just stood a few feet away from the small family, observing Lyca. He stared at Lyca's sincere smile that he had never seen before. Her eyes twinkled, her grin was so huge it was somewhat scary. He gulped and avoided looking at Lyca's beautiful face. Was this really the Lyca the lazy Lyca who doesn't even finish her sentences?

For some reason, he felt a little tugged in his heart. Unable to explain the emotion, Shen Qui decided to think about other things instead. Of course, this reaction didn't go unnoticed by Lyca's father. After a few hours of catching up, Lyca brought her father to her room to have a private conversation while her mother made her some food.

This was something that surprised Shen Qui again. Who would have thought that Lyca's mother, the Colonel's wife, Tang Nini would personally cook for her daughter? He knew that Tang Nini grew up in the Tang Family which was known for their military achievements. In his simple mind, Tang Nini was born rich. And well rich misses were people who loved to command people! They didn't have to cook or clean as they have servants to do that!

It seems that this family was indeed very unique?

Meanwhile, the atmosphere inside Lyca's room had turned extremely suffocating.

"So you already knew of this?" Huang Sheng Hong never expected that Lyca would obtain such crucial information even if she was inside the school.

"Is it true?" Lyca asked, her tone grim.

"Yes. That is indeed true. Of course me and father would never agree to this engagement."

Lyca knew that the old man would not yield. However, if the Long Family continued pressuring them, there would be no guarantee that the old man would maintain this stance. After all, there were also people working under the old man. Loyal soldiers and veteran who chose to stay with the Huang Family. If the Huang Family lost more clients, those people would suffer too. Will her grandfather really choose her over those loyal soldiers and their families?

That is a very hard thing to say.

Lyca already witnessed the treacherous heart of humans before. She knew how fickle a human's heart can be. "I am planning to help." Lyca said. "I believe it is time to accept Grandfather's position."

"But the challenge"

Lyca snorted in response. "Challenge?" She raised an eyebrow, a tinge of blood thirst seemed to cover her whole body. "I will kill everyone who dares to stand in my way father." She said. "Even if that person is related to me by blood."
