While everyone was planning on how to get her in trouble while she was in the city, Lyca and Shen Qui were walking by the beach. The two were holding their shoes as they playfully kicked the sand. The soft breeze welcod them.
The two didn't speak for a few minutes before Shen Qui received a call confirming that the target already arrived in Huang Li Duo's mansion.
"Alright, go for it." Shen Qui didn't bother to ask Lyca what to do next. He could read her like the back of his palm. "The fireworks will start soon."
Lyca nodded. She turned towards Shen Qui and gave him a gentle smile.
"What's wrong?" His gaze turned suspicious. Does she need anything? "You You are not going to kill anyone, yes?"
"Of course, not." She gave a burst of light laughter. "What do you take for?"
"A lawbreaker," he answered without batting an eyelid.
"I thought you're on my side?"
Shen Qui chuckled. "Alright, I was wrong. You are a sweet, gentle, and kind wife."
"Hmm. You learn quickly. It was already six in the evening. While this wasn't her first ti watching the sunset with Shen Qui, this sunset is a bit aningful to her. "Hey, I have a question."
"Hm?"
"Did you find it lonely? I an before you t ?"
"Lonely? Hmmm Not really. I spent Spring Festival visiting friends."
Lyca lowered her head. "What do you think of the Shen family?"
"Nothing. I am not one of them."
"Because you are a Xu?"
Shen Qui stared at her. "I am not a Xu either. I am nothing but your man. You are my only family."
Lyca elbowed him. "When did you learn to say those words? You are making cringe."
He laughed and rested his arm on her shoulder. "After you take care of the Long Family, what are you planning to do?" For so reason, he could already guess her answer.
"Return so favors," Lyca smiled. "Settle so grievances then live a happy life."
The sound of the waves kissing the beach filled the air.
"Then, Xu Family?"
"Yes. I already promised you this."
"You don't have to do your promise." Shen Qui said and for a long ti, Lyca didn't say anything.
"Why?"
"It's all good now." He eyed the setting sun. "Why do we need to go and provoke so people when we are already happy? We are together?"
"After what they did to your mother?"
"The past is the past. It's enough that I have you now." Shen Qui smiled, his gaze still glued to the sun. "So people might call a coward. But I don't want to lose myself in this pathway. If I stayed with the Xu Family, I probably won't et you. If they didn't kick and my mother out, then I would have beco one of them. Are you going to marry if I am one of them?"
"Probably not," Lyca answered. "You might be handso, but the trouble that cos along with the Xu Family is not worth it. I can just pay so other beautiful models to satisfy and aw! Did you just pinched ?"
"Your brain is really weird. Stop thinking about weird things." The conversation was pretty serious. How did it co to her paying models to sleep with her?
Lyca stroked her arm. "If I get a bruise, you will pay for it."
"I can only pay you with my body. I don't have anything else with ."
"Who's thinking about weird things now? Hm!?" Slowly, her face turned serious. "So you don't want to watch them burn?"
"So sadistic." He shook his head. "If we provoke them who knows if we will end up dead? As I said, we are happy now. Why do we need to run around and have people want to kill us? You know living like that is tiring."
"You actually have a point," she nodded. She is too lazy for that!
"I always have a point."
She laughed. "So after this we are going to get married?"
"I thought we are already married?"
"I an in a white dress, walking down the aisle while you cry?" Like the fairytale! She laughed at her own thoughts.
"You want to cry?"
"Of course, you should cry for the cara. We could post it on social dia and brag about it. Isn't that the trend today?"
"Stop watching dramas." He could only laugh. Cry? When she was sleeping, he was crying all the ti! He no longer has tears to cry for the cara!

Huang Li Duo's Mansion
Long City
The atmosphere was still as thick and suffocating as ever. However, the argunt already died down. Aside from the sound of the wall clock ticking, the room was wrapped with an uncomfortable silence.
"So the fireworks just now."
"No one died!" Long Yi clenched his teeth. Just a few minutes ago, a two-minute firework interrupted them. They didn't know who lit so fireworks inside the lands surrounding the mansion. All they know was the smoke from the fireworks reached the mansion.
Everyone who actually inhaled the smoke fell asleep!
"Luckily, no one died." Huang Li Duo echoed his words. His face was dark.
"Then shall we call the police and tell them about it? I'm sure it was that Lyca who did it! She is trying to show us that we are helpless against her!"
Long Yi gritted his teeth. After the fireworks, they finally understood why Lyca ca here. She wanted Huang Li Duo to call everyone and gather them here. She wanted everyone to see how capable she was! "Calling the police would be useless. I would expect that they wouldn't be able to find any proof of the chemical that she used. She is crazy and clever. Moreover, people would surely laugh at us for being scared because of a re firework."
"What about the servants who lost their consciousness?"
"They lost their consciousness for two minutes. Are we really going to tell the police about it?" Long Yi asked. "They didn't die. People would surely think we are making a fuss just to fra soone!"
