Lazily Yours.

Chapter 56: Cupid

Irritation immediately flashed in Shen Qui's eyes. However, he quickly hid it from Lyca. Hearing how this woman talked about marriage as if it was a deal was making him agitated. He had long promised himself that he would never become like his mother. He could never marry someone just for convenience.

Seeing his face turned darker and darker, Lyca merely laughed. "You think you needed love to marry someone?" she asked. "Feelings are fleeting Qui'er. Just like the weather it changes."

"How did you become like this?" Shen Qui countered. This woman grew up in a happy family, something that he never had. And yet, the way she talked made it seem as if she suffered a lot.

Of course, Lyca just shrugged and chose not to answer him. Instead, she started reading again, ignoring him until she felt like sleeping. "Eh? You're still here?" Lyca smiled. "Do you want to sleep beside me?" How could she miss the opportunity to tease him again?

"And if I do?" he asked. Seeing Lyca's smile vanished, Shen Qui snorted and left the room without saying anything else. Seeing him gone, Lyca's languid appearance disappeared. She didn't know why that man stayed this long despite her teasing. All she knew was that Shen Qui's presence delayed her previous plans. She stood and went to her walk-in closet to change her clothes.

Donning an all black tight leather pants, a black tank top with black leather jacket with a hood that could cover more than half of her face, Lyca nodded at her current appearance. Then she secured a couple of her chemicals, needles and daggers on her boots. After making sure that she already had everything that she needed, Lyca opened her laptop and activated a virus that would freeze the CCTV of the building for five minutes.

This virus was something that she asked her father to acquire.

Lyca didn't tarry as she silently opened her window. Just like a cat, Lyca stood on the baluster, her back against the walls of the mansion as she examined the surroundings. She then started to count the balcony on the second floor. Since each room had their own balcony, it was easy for Lyca to know which one was Huang Xiaoxuan's room on the second floor.

Room 207.

A smile slithered in Lyca's face, her gaze turned alert as she started to adjust her breathing while studying the current airflow all of which were basics to be able to hide herself and make her presence vanish. She looked at her watch. Three minutes and forty seconds before the virus would unfreeze all images.

Without any hesitation, Lyca jumped down, silently landing onto the balcony just below her own. Using the shadows to cover her, Lyca started walking into the ledge that ran around the whole mansion. As wide as a single foot, the ledge was more than enough for her to walk through.

From time to time, Lyca would examine her surroundings, making sure that no one was watching her. Of course, she was about eighty percent sure that people were no longer outside because of the curfew. She reached another balcony, Room 205. One more balcony and she would reach Huang Xiaoxuan's. After stealthily walking on the ledge, Lyca finally arrived at her destination.

"I told you! If we don't kill her now, there is no way that she would let me become the next CEO and Marry Long Yi!" Huang Xiaoxuan's sinister voice was the first thing that she heard when she landed on her balcony. Was she planning to kill her? Clearly, Huang Xiaoxuan was unaware that someone was outside listening to her malicious words.

"Father I really like Young Master Long" Huang Xiaoxuan started pleading. "Why can't you just contact them for an engagement? Why do I need to become the heir apparent first before you could do that? I told you! We should just kill Lyca! She is the only thing that is preventing me from becoming the CEO."

Lyca raised an eyebrow. It seems that Huang Li Duo didn't approve of Huang Xiaoxuan's plan to kill her?

"No! I want her dead! Why can't you do it? You know But But father! I think Young Master Long likes me too! I told you he spoke to me today!"

Hearing the woman's nonsense words, Lyca shook her head as she decided to withdraw. Tonight, she was originally planning on putting some late acting poison on her food that would look like some bacteria. Of course, it was not fatal. It could only make her sick, really sick again nothing fatal. But it would have been enough for Huang Xiaoxuan to stop going to this school because of her weak body. Then the challenge would be off.

However, it seems that Huang Xiaoxuan was not only a stupid woman. It seemed that she was also a naive, lovesick fool. Sneering, Lyca started walking back towards her room. It seems that Huang Xiaoxuan liked Long Yi? Wouldn't it be better to have these two people marry each other?

Of course Lyca was not that lazy to play cupid when it comes to her enemies. An ominous glint flashed in her eyes. Lyca was never a kind hearted person. Since Huang Xiaoxuan wanted to hurt her then she would gladly reciprocate. Lyca's thoughts were interrupted with the sudden alarm.

She let out a cursed. It seems that someone discovered the virus? Without any hesitation, Lyca jumped towards her own balcony. However, because of the alarm, she had long lost her momentum. Another cursed left her lips when she saw that she wouldn't be able to reach the balcony. She miscalculated her strength. She tried to stretch her hand, hoping she could grab onto something, maybe the baluster or something anything! It was a futile attempt. Just as her body started responding to the gravity, she felt someone grab her hand.She immediately raised her head and met Shen Qui's eyes. Just like a fish out of the pond, Lyca opened her mouth and closed it without saying anything. With just one pull, Lyca was already standing in front of Shen Qui in her balcony.

She looked at him, unable to process what just happened.

"Inside." Shen Qui pulled her towards her room, his face was grave. He had promised both Huang Sheng Hong and Old Man Huang to protect this woman. As someone who owed his life to the Old Man, Shen Qui wanted to repay him by doing his best in protecting his granddaughter. But how could he protect a mysterious entity like this woman?
