Chapter 265: Camera Lens
Chapter 265: Camera Lens
Just as Lyca promised, she went outside of the lab after four hours. Then, she immediately started cooking for Shen Qui. Seeing this, Ronan had nothing to say. How could he try to stop her from cooking for her own husband? He could only watch as Lyca expertly cut some chicken and vegetables.
"Didn't know you could cook," Rue said as she sat at the counter of the kitchen. Ronan and her watched Lyca add different ingredients to the pot. "Why is it black?" she immediately asked.
"You can leave me alone," Lyca answered almost immediately without looking at the two.
"That " Rue met Ronan's eyes before she chuckled. "Ronan is here to ask you about that attack." Rue continued. Her brother immediately facepalmed when he heard her words. He asked Rue's help to approach Lyca because he thought that Lyca and Rue were a little close! He was honestly expecting Rue to say something nice and ask Lyca about her cooking and ingredients! Maybe even asked her about her hairstyle!
However, Rue decided to just be direct.
"Attack?" Lyca finally removed her gaze from the pot. "They won't do it now. They are still trying to figure out how to get it. By now, they already know that the house outside is not really a house but simply the entrance. They are looking for someone to crack the code, probably a hacker. Let's give them three days to a week."
"Really?" Ronan immediately frowned when he heard Lyca's words. Logic would dictate that they will attack as soon as possible because they would think Shen Qui is dead or is dying. They don't want to wait for a few days and let Shen Qui recover. They would want to make sure that Shen Qui is already dead before doing all their evils deeds in the territory.
However, instead of answering their questions, Lyca asked, "Do you have the thing that I asked?"
"The files? Yes, it's here." Ronan gave a table to Lyca. "Chu Family is a family that is only lead by women. All their husbands take their last names and all their children have the last name, Chu. It's a pretty peculiar family. They originally came from." Ronan immediately started explaining the origins of the Chu Family as well as their businesses while Lyca nodded.
"Seems like they own a big business not just in this city but the whole region." Lyca nodded while checking out the file inside the tablet. "As expected. Now tell me about the Clint Family and that guy Arnold Yun?" Of course, she was too lazy to read the origins of this family while cooking. She only checked their businesses and the members of their families. Then she said, "The attack should be instigated by one of these families. I want to create a trap."
"Trap? What trap?" Ronan frowned
"Are we killing some of these clans?" Rue couldn't help but ask. These families were considered old families in Kong City. Their businesses are huge and they own a lot of properties in and outside of the city. Moreover, their influence is pretty vast too! How could they kill someone like that?
"What are we going to do?" Ronan asked when Lyca didn't answer him.
"Do?" Lyca lifted an eyebrow. "For now, go get Cleo and wait for me in Q's office. While I I will go ahead and fed my husband." She said and turned her attention back at her food. Seeing her busily add some spices, Rue and Ronan could only shake their heads as they wondered why Lyca was not taking this seriously. Isn't she worried that their people would get killed? Isn't she worried that they would breach this place?
In the end, the two could only leave while Lyca started humming a song that no one in this world knew.
After a few minutes, Lyca finally finished her food and prepared two bowls for her and Shen Qui. She then went inside the room and smiled at her husband who was still yawning. This medicine can only make people sleep for about four hours so, she was certain that by the time she finished cooking, Shen Qui is already awake.
Shen Qui immediately sat on the bed when he saw her walk in. However, before he could say anything, Lyca's words already echoed inside the room.
"Don't think too much. I am just hungry so I made something for myself too."
Amusement flashed in Shen Qui's eyes as he nodded then he let her set the table and the food on the bed. "What is this dish?" He asked before pursing her lips. "Nevermind. Looks delicious."
"Liar." She laughed. It's black. There is simply no way that it would look appetizing.
"I mean you, silly."
Lyca immediately felt blood rushed on her neck. Before she snorted. "Big words, Mr. Shen. Big words." A mischievous glint can be seen in her eyes.
In response, he gave her a boyish grin. "I'm stating a fact."
Lyca only glared at the man. This man was truly a temptress! Her eyes focused on his lips and soon trailed downwards into his neck. She watched as his Adam's apple bobbed while drinking the soup. It was as if, her eyes turned into a camera lens that suddenly focused on his moistened lips and the fluttering of his long lashes.
There it was again. That familiar twisting in her stomach.
Lyca could only curse inwardly as she suddenly grabbed the bowl and directly drank the soup, forgetting the fact that it was hot. Of course, it was too late when she realized this matter. "Aw! Aw!" She abruptly put the bowl back and hissed. She just burnt her tongue!
"Hey! Are you alright?" Concern flashed in Shen Qui's eyes as he moved the table away from the bed and held Lyca's face. "Did you burn your tongue?" He said, not realizing that he had already pulled her face closer to his and that her mind was already in a mess. "Does it hurt?" he asked.
"It will," Lyca answered. "If you won't kiss me."
