Lazily Yours.

Lyca finished her food and quickly went to her room to rest. Without even changing her clothes, Lyca fell asleep on the bed. When Shen Qui arrived, she was already snoring loudly. He could only smile as he slowly removed her clothes and tucked her in the bed. Since he was afraid to wake her up, Shen Qui just let her sleep naked under the sheets.

This surprised Lyca. She opened her eyes and turned towards him. Shen Qui was still sleeping soundly, unaware that she was already staring at him like she was about to eat her prey. Smiling, Lyca stared at her long and thick eyelashes. She immediately realized that this man was pretty blessed in the looks department.

While Lyca lashes can be considered long, it wasn't as thick as his. Moreover, his skin looks fantastic under the lighting. She couldn't really spot a single scar. Did the gods really carve him to look this good?

"You're drooling," Shen Qui's warm voice reached her ears.

"Huh? Who's drooling?"

"You," he said. His eyes were still half-closed, his lips turned upward into a smug smile. "Every time you stare at me, you drool."

"No, I don't," she immediately wiped the corners of her mouth. "What are you talking about?" Her question made him burst into a peal of laughter. How can someone be this cute?

"You don't get it," he leaned and kissed her forehead.

"Why don't you kiss my lips instead?" she asked.

"You are naked."

"And?"

"I can't kiss your lips."

Where did that logic come from? Lyca narrowed her eyes on him. "What time did you arrive last night?"

"About midnight."

"Oh…" She snuggled into his arm. "When we have kids, I want them to look like you."

"Hm? Where did that come from?"

She smiled. "Mother and father thought I am pregnant. It made me think. I want a kid that looks like you."

"Oh, I understand. I would like someone that looks like me too. I think it would be — Aw! Stop hitting!"

'You are becoming bolder and bolder!" Lyca giggled. For some reason, she is loving this shameless side of him. "Such narcissism!"

"Did I say the wrong thing? I just agreed with you, ah!"

"You are supposed to say that you want someone that looked like me, you dummy!" Lyca said.

"But I really agree with you. I think a kid like me would be so cute no?"

"…" Was he trying to say that she is not cute? "I am cute too."

"Yes, you are. You are cute… stop hitting." He laughed before yawning. "I want to sleep."

"But?"

"But there is a problem in the port. I need to coordinate with Ronan and the others."

"So you will stay in the port?" she asked.

"Probably. I have a meeting in the afternoon."

"How about I take you to lunch later?" Lyca asked. "I feel like you are so busy, you don't have the time to eat with me."

"I wasn't able to eat with you for one day." He was only away for one day because of that meeting yesterday. "I am going to stay in the City today. Oh, I received an invitation yesterday from Lord Olfan. This is for his birthday banquet."

Lyca pursed her lips. She let out a sigh. "When will Chu Nan arrive?"

"Two days from now. Why?"

"I want him to attend this party with Cleo."

"You— You want to— "

"Isn't it time that we destroy this territory system in the city? Santa will become the mayor and he will rule this city." In this way, Shen Qui would have more time with her. Isn't that nice? Of course, she wasn't planning to tell him her real reason.

"That is a good idea. Alright, you just have to talk to Cleo about this matter. I will take care of the rest."

"Good. Good… as expected of my husband. Truly hardworking." She gave him a huge grin.

....

When Lyca informed Cleo about her plan to have her attend Lord Olfan's birthday banquet as their representative, the latter's expression immediately darkened.

"You wanted me to— "

"It's time that we take care of them. The spring festival is coming."

"…" What does killing people have to do with the spring festival? As if sensing her thoughts, Lyca immediately added.

"Oh, I mean the assembly. We can't have too many enemies working against us. One or two should be enough."

"…"

"I am too lazy to take care of everyone." Lyca shook her head. "After the Spring Festival, I will take a leave!"

"…" What leave? Cleo eyed Shen Qui and Ronan as if silently asking them what she was talking about.

"I want another honeymoon!"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"Xi… I have a question." Cleo said. "Since you are not going. Does this mean I will go there alone? You won't allow Boss Q to escort me, right? Moreover, Ronan doesn't like events like that and would prefer to date his computer than me."

"No. You will go with Mr. Chu. Chu Nan from the Chu Family. With him by your side, Olfan would never hurt both of you. After all, the Chu Family is far more influential and wealthier than Lord Olfan. Surely, he wouldn't want to offend the Chu Family."

"Chu Nan… oh! Is that Chu Yuyan's cousin?"

"Hmmm. He will become my disciple."

"…" Ronan met Shen Qui's eyes.

"What? You don't believe me? Ask my husband!"

"That man is so dumb, how could he become your disciple? He is here to freeload! It's better to make him work for his food!" Shen Qui said almost immediately.

"So this Chu Nan should be capable too, right?"

"Not as capable as everyone else, but he is good." Shen Qui answered.

"Then that's it!" Lyca smiled. "Everything is set now." She stood and walked towards the door. "I go and change my clothes. I have a lunch date with my husband later."

"She is — " Cleo didn't continue her words, helplessness flashed in her face. "Boss Q, Xi is still acting as if she isn't planning to go to war. Are you sure it's alright to have a dinner date when we are preparing to strike Lord Olfan's territory?"

"Of course," Shen Qui smiled a beautiful smile that reminded her of sakura blossoms. "I will go and change my clothes. I have a lunch date with my wife later."

With that, Shen Qui left his office while humming.

"…"
