Lazily Yours.

Chapter 319: Shy

Lyca fought the urge to laugh. "You are complaining and crying," she held his hand and pulled him, making him lie down next to her. "I am alive, aren't I?"

"You look like a dead human!"

"Are you saying, I am ugly?" she frowned.

"That's not my point. What happened to you? Did you fought someone?" He hugged her and made her use his arm as a pillow.

"No. It's because I was in a hurry to see you."

Instead of saying anything, Shen Qui just hugged her, giving her his body heat. She had too many secrets. She was too deep. While he couldn't understand why she was really willing to act like this just for some herb, Shen Qui respected her decision and has always been supportive of her. "Don't sleep," he said. "Just stay like this for a while."

Lyca pressed her lips together, brows drawing closer. For some reason, she could feel a pang of guilt inside her chest. She quickly closed her eyes. "The herb is very important for me. I can't use other people to get it. I already told you it's poisonous. Moreover, I need to handle it carefully or it will lose its essence. I need it to save grandfather."

Shen Qui nodded. A part of him knew that she was lying. But so what? Lyca is with him now and that is the most important thing. Huang Sheng Hong already informed him before he even married her that she is difficult to handle, difficult to tame.

"I heard your conversation with Chu Munan."

"You were eavesdropping?" he chuckled.

"What? No! At least not voluntarily. You were talking, and I didn't cover my ears. So I heard it."

"Your logic is " he laughed again and kissed her forehead. "So? Do you understand? That Chu Munan was only acting like a sheep in front of you. He had his own motives. You should be careful."

"If you tell me to stop this cooperation with the Chu Family, will listen to you."

Her words made him silent as he turned towards her, his face facing hers. "You will?" He lifted an eyebrow.

"Of course, I'm a genius I can find ways to get close to the Shen and Xu Family."

"Silly girl." Shen Qui said. "You don't have to sacrifice so much just for my Shen Family."

She smiled. Of course, she knew that this man was still hiding something from her something about the Shen Family. Funny how they are still hiding things from each other and yet they would trust each other with their lives. Isn't that entertaining?

"The Xu Family is backing the Long Family. I also believe that this Ken Xu was the one making the poison."

"The one that "

"Yes." Lyca nodded. Chu Munan said that he is a doctor and is taking care of the President's health. That is the reason why the Xu Family is protecting him, even though he is not a direct heir. She couldn't help but wonder how did the Chu Family find out about this.

"You think that he was the one who wanted to poison Old Man Huang?"

"What? No!" Lyca smiled. "Ken Xu must have sold the poison to the Long Family or Huang Qingyun. Or perhaps they acquired it using other ways. However, I am pretty confident that this man created the poison." Aside from this, she also guessed that Ken Xu's arrival in that cave wasn't a coincidence. The man must have known about those herbs.

Truly crafty.

That man actually monitored the place and waited for someone to get the herbs. However, she couldn't understand one thing. Why did he have to expose himself like that? If he had some technology in that cave that could detect the arrival of other people then, he didn't need to personally come to know her identity.

Does this mean that man didn't use any technology but some magic as a detection? But magic doesn't exist in this world! If that man used magic, then coming to the cave would make sense. After all, the magic would only detect if someone entered the cave and not the identity of that person.

Ah, Xu Ke Ken Xu.

Was it possible that you found a way to use magic in this world?

Lyca let out a sharp sigh. "Hey," she poked the side of his face. "Do you love me?"

"Huh?"

"You already said you like me are you going to tell me you love? Or not?"

"Of course I do," he answered, frowning. This woman was truly unpredictable. Even if he understands most of her actions, Shen Qui couldn't understand her train of thoughts. "How about you?"

Lyca stared at his eyes. "Yeah."

"What's that supposed to mean? What yeah? Yeah, you love me? Or Yeah.. yeah I sound boring?"

"Yeah. Hey! That hurts! Don't you dare flick my nose like that again," she mumbled while stroking her nose.

"What yeah? Talk like a human being." He was already laughing as his hand found her waist.

"I won't answer you. Consider this a punishment for flicking my nose!" Lyca covered her head with the whole blanket. "I will sleep. Leave me alone."

"Eh? But you didn't tell me what the Yeah meant! Hey!"

"I am wounded! Cuts and bruises are all around my body. I can't talk."

"" Shen Qui laughed while shaking his head. "Alright, I already know you love me. No need to say it. I remember when I was wounded you were crying while mumbling. You also "

"Stop talking!" Lyca said. How could this man recall those embarrassing things while she was weak?

"Oh? Little Lyca is embarrassed? I wasn't expecting that something like this could actually make a bold woman like my wife shy? She wasn't even shy when she knowingly swallow some drugs and asked me to save her! How could mere words embarrass her? I must be dreaming!"

"Shen Qui I am warning you! Get out of here! I want to sleep!" she growled and attempted to kick him out of the bed. However, the thick blankets restrain her movements. Seeing his wife wrapped like a dumpling trying her best to hit him, Shen Qui laughed and hugged her instead.

"Stop hitting. Stop hitting. I already know you love me so much it's hard to bear," he chucked.

"Shameless!"
