Lazily Yours.

"Alright. I will take care of the Long Family," Lyca said.

"You sure about that?"

"Hmm," she nodded. This was the original plan. However, she got distracted by Shen Qui's abs. She made a mental note not to get distracted in the future. She should just stare at his face.

"Alright. I will go and have some rest first." Ronan uttered. Staring at Lyca, he already knew that the woman was only acting like she doesn't care about Shen Qui. He knew that she would need as much time as she could with him. He stood and immediately walked out of the room, leaving Lyca just staring in a daze at her husband

"How can you be so stupid?" Lyca's voice was hoarse as she slowly reached out to hold his left hand. "Too careless… Qui'er." She continued mumbling. "If this happens again, I will forbid you from going out ever again." Sighing, Lyca closed her eyes and started sharing her energy with him. She knew the process would exhaust her and would probably make her sleep for a day at most. However, Shen Qui needed to wake up soon. 

Lyca can't run his company, she dreaded working with other people and she lacks the calmness that he had. She needed this man to wake up so she could curse him and reprimand him for trying to save another man's life when he couldn't save his own! Why was this man acting like the Male Lead of those TV series? "This doesn't suit you." She uttered. "This doesn't suit you at all. You don't look good in bed, the hospital robe doesn't look good in you, those tubes looked ugly, the machine is too noisy. This is not something that you want!"

She continued using her energy to ease his pain and promote the healing of his wounded muscle. "I hate that you were too stupid and nice. How could you act like this when you have literally experienced the cruel world out there? Such a stupid man. How did I even like someone like you? I must be going crazy." Lyca continued talking to herself unaware that Shen Qui's eyes were already open and was staring straight at her. Because Lyca had her eyes close, she didn't see the reaction in her man's eyes. 

"You really are too stupid. Once you wake up, I will kick your butt and make you sleep on the couch. No touching me too. That's right, you can no longer touch me for a month. After making me worry and sad, you think you still had the privilege to touch me? Mr. Shen… you should have thought about those things before you save other people." Lyca snorted. She could feel her face paling but she doesn't care. She needed him to wake up.

"How did I even like you? This doesn't make any sense at all! You are too nice, too good for me. I feel like a black speck in an item of white clothing. Man… I really should stop liking you and keep this marriage professional." A sharp sigh escaped her lips. "Does a professional marriage even exists?" Alright, maybe that was too much. "Shen Qui, ah. If you won't wake up… if you really die… You know what? Don't you dare die! If you die I will cut your body into small little pieces and threw it all over the city! I will make sure to use dark arts on you and make your soul stay on earth forever! You won't be able to reincarnate! I am telling you!" she said almost in one breath.

"I will definitely punish you! So, you better wake up now! I know your body is better than most people. I know you heal faster too! Meaning…" Lyca suddenly opened her eyes and stared at him. "You would wake up anytime soon…"

"I think even someone already dead would come back to life because of your ramblings." Shen Qui gave a wry smile but soon frown when he saw Lyca's pale face. "You— " No wonder he started to feel that cold sensation that made him feel a lot better!

"So, you are alive?" Lyca let go of Shen Qui's arm and squinted her eyes on him. For some reason, her question only made Shen Qui smile. He couldn't remember the last time that Lyca became this upset. But for some reason, it wasn't enough to scare him. In fact, he felt a little happy to know that she was… worried for him. "Just… to be clear. I am not worried." Lyca cleared her throat as she lifted her chin and gave him a smug smile. She was really determined to punish this man because of his carelessness. "The only thing that I worry about is the fact that I don't know how to run a company without your assistance. Other than that… I am good."

Shen Qui chuckled. "Yeah?"

"Yeah. And for the record… I am still mad at you. The fact that you are wounded is not an excuse for me to be nice to you."

"You have become talkative." Shen Qui noted as he met her eyes. "Why are you so tense?"

For a few seconds, Lyca froze. Tense? Who is tense? "I am not tense."

"Really?"

"Why are you mocking me?" she hissed. "Don't forget, I can kill you anytime I want especially now that you are wounded and weak."

"Weak?" he laughed at that. "I could still go for a round or two you know."

Lyca widened her beautiful eyes before she cleared her throat. "You should rest. I still have things that I needed to do. I will…"

"Aw! My chest…" Shen Qui's words interrupted Lyca. She stared at him. "Is there a problem? Was it your previous wound? I could call the doctor and— " she paused when she realized that he was smiling at her. "Shen Qui... do you think, I would not hurt you because you were already hurt?" she glared at him. How could he make this situation look like a joke and make her worry like this?
