Chapter 346: Sweet Rice Balls
Chapter 346: Sweet Rice Balls
"Boss, may I ask why you are scared of Miss Lyca Huang?" Long Yi's driver and the assistant asked.
"That doesn't concern you!" Long Yi hissed, his gaze was outside.
"But boss! Even the old master is thinking that Miss Huang is crazy. Why not just kill her? After that firework incident, I think we should really kill her before she could do something to us."
"And you think it was that easy?" He already sent spies and assassins to kill her! Did anyone of them return alive? Were they able to contact him just after they arrived in Kong City?
No!
Those people disappeared!
He worked with the Clint Family and even Lord Olfan! Where are they now?
One was destroyed, the other was hiding!
He could only silently grit his teeth in anger as he tries to hide these things from his father!
"Sir, Miss Huang Xiaoxuan insists on going to the mansion."
"She came back?" Long Yi asked, surprised. "Why?" That woman was indeed too emotional! "Is this because I refuse to accompany her while she gives birth?"Too stupid! He sent her away to keep her and the baby safe! Because of her random emotions, she came back and risk their child's life! "Let her in!"
"Alright, sir." The man immediately gave instructions on the servants using his blue tooth headset.
..
Spring Festival.
To Lyca, it's all about the food. When she was still in Long City, she loved to eat various foods made by her mother. Sweet rice cake, dumplings, sweet Rice balls, longevity noodles, sweets like dried fruit and candy, jujube, and of course, spring rolls. In fact, all holidays are all about the food.
She was too lazy to leave the house. So she spent all of her time eating instead.
Ah, how she missed her previous life.
"What's this?" Lyca sat on the concrete chair. Shen Qui refused to go home and asked her to visit some shops in the downtown area. He wanted them to lit some lanterns and buy some trinkets. Of course, she initially declined.
Isn't that mean she is going to walk around? Even the thought of walking around is already tiring, ah.
"Open it," he smiled. This was the same smile that he used to convince her to come. It was that gentle, warm, and cozy smile that she liked the most.
Lyca stared at the red rectangular box that was about the size of her phone. "This is too big for red packets?" she mumbled as she opened the box. "Eh? This"
"Sweet rice balls."
Lyca stared at the food. "This one looks like something " She turned towards him. "Did you the reason you were late is that you went home and ask my mother to make food for me?"
"Of course." A smug smile appeared on his face. He leaned closer. "Eat. I brought you here because she said that you dislike coming in here. Meaning, you haven't visited this place before. You are from Long City and you don't come to this place during times like this. You are just wasting your time by" Shen Qui continued talking while Lyca lowered her head to look at the carefully crafted food in her hand.
Heat traveled to her face as her hand trembled. She lifted her head and look at him. Shen Qui was still muttering something about being lazy. "So talkative," she whispered.
"Why are you crying?" he frowned. "Was it because I'm so sweet?"
She laughed. "Stop it."
"Was it because I'm handsome?"
"Thank you," Lyca smiled. She never expected him to bring her something like this. She lifted one of the balls and eyed the small river where the lanterns are floating. "You are right. This place is beautiful." After walking by the beach, Shen Qui insisted that they come here. She thought this was nothing but another tiring escapade that might probably end up with them having sex in the car.
She was wrong.
And yes, she had a nasty mind. She stared at his side profile. The smile on her face didn't falter. "You know what? You are right this life is actually good."
"Really?"
"Yeah let's stop provoking other people and just live this life peacefully." Lyca started eating the rice balls before she leaned her head on his shoulders. Her eyes were on the river that reminded her of the skies. This life is indeed very good.
.
After the Spring Festival, the assembly immediately started. This is going to be a five-day assembly with the security agencies in the region. On the previous assembly, companies from other regions could join too. However, the current demands for mercenaries and personal security increased inside the country. Because of this, many security companies started emerging in the past years.
To solve this issue, the government arranged for two types of assembly. The first one is regional. It will be held in their regions. The companies that will win the regionals will then participate in the grand assembly in the capital.
Just the thought of going to the capital made Lyca giddy.
This time, she wasn't too excited to fight against the Xu or Shen Family. She was actually excited to be recognized in the whole country. After all, she trained these people. Winning this assembly would surely bring them more clients and money too.
"There will be eight companies who qualified for the regionals." Ronan's voice echoed behind her. "Here's the list of the companies and people that will participate this time. Check out their profiles." Obviously, Ronan was talking to Shen Qui. After all, Lyca had been in a daze since they arrived in the Long Founding School of Elites. Judging from the way Lyca smiled at the school buildings, Ronan already concluded that she was planning to do something sinister this time.
He could only hope that she wouldn't blow up the building where they will be staying.
