Lazily Yours.

"So? The woman wearing a white wig? How the hell did you fuck it up? Look! Everyone now thinks that I wanted that armor! Xie Jun, are you trying to sabotage my company?"

"Brother Long… that's not the case. I really made a mistake this time. When I saw a white-haired woman walking out of their room, I immediately thought it was Lyca. I mean… Only she had white hair. Moreover, why would someone else pretend to be her? Unless, of course, they wanted to spoil our plans! They must have known in advance that something is going to happen."

"You are suggesting… there is a spy? The only people who knew the plan are those who are already dead and us!" Zhang Zhi said in a low voice. "I believe they set this up. Just for us."

"What do you mean?"

"They must have thought that we wanted to get the armor. So… they submitted the armor for checking, silently informing us that they have something like that. Then waited for us to act." Zhang Zhi said. He let out a sharp sigh. "Now, everyone is thinking that we wanted that armor."

"Are you blaming me?" Xie Jun asked. He didn't miss Zhang Zhi's sharp gaze towards him. "It's not my fault that they were already planning to create this trap!"

"Shut up!" Long Yi raised his voice. "I will talk to the committee about this. We know that everything is thinking we wanted the armor, but they can't prove it. Those people are dead, brutally murdered. I will talk to the committee, convene another meeting with Shen Qui and possibly with Lyca! We will find ways to have them disqualified before the competition starts tomorrow!"

Their discussion was soon interrupted by a noise. Voices echoed outside of the student council room.

"Where is he?" It was none other than Long Yi's wife, Huang Xiaoxuan's voice. "I know he is here!"

"Madam… the Master is really busy. Please calm down and— "

"Calm down? Are you trying to order me?"

"I wouldn't dare."

"Good! Now open the door! Or I swear I will— "

A loud sigh brought Long Yi's attention back to the people inside the room.

"She is my cousin, but I can't stand her." Zhang Zhi said. "Too dumb. Is this because she loved you too much?"

"Women are like that. They love too much and become like this. Stupid." Xie Jun sneered. "You should let her in. She is pregnant, right?"

Long Yi could only clench his jaw and nodded.

"Alright. Zhang Zhi and I will leave. I believe she came because she knew that Lyca is also here. That woman is irrational. She is like a rabid dog. You should ask your people to escort her and make her avoid Lyca at all cost."

Xie Jun and Zhang Zhi look at Long Yi's dark face before leaving.

Huang Xiaoxuan didn't even look at the two who greeted her. She strode inside and immediately confronted her husband. "I came home because I want to spend some time with you! When I woke up, the servants inform me that you left! Long Yi… how could you be so cruel?"

"Why are you here?"

"You — did you just hear what I said? I am about to give birth! I need your attention!"

"Do you think I am a doctor? I assigned three doctors to help you." Long Yi ignored her as he sat on his table and open a drawer. He looked at the divorce papers that were drafted by his lawyers, then stopped himself from giving it to Huang Xiaoxuan.

Once she gave birth, he would immediately give her the divorce papers.

"You really — I am already carrying your child and yet you are still treating me like this?" Huang Xiaoxuan's eyes were swollen. She had been crying on her way here. "Was it because she is back?"

"This place is not for you. Be obedient and go back to the mansion. You are about to give birth and need constant monitoring to— "

"Was it because of Lyca?" Huang Xiaoxuan's shrill voice echoed. "You left your pregnant wife so you could see her again?"

Long Yi finally lifted his gaze, his cold eyes met her sad ones. "And?"

"You— "

"Are you going to divorce me? Leave me?" Long Yi snorted.

Huang Xiaoxuan's tears fell. The coldness in his eyes reminded her of the morning after he slept with her. It was freezing. Her lips trembled as she clenched her fist. "I am staying."

Long Yi snorted in response. "I am busy. If you want to stay… just stay and leave me alone. Don't create any more trouble for me."

"You are scared that I will create trouble for Lyca?"

Long Yi snorted. Was Huang Xiaoxuan really a lunatic? "If you want your child to die, then go ahead and scheme against her. Just remember this… once the child is lost... This marriage will be over too."

Her gaze faltered, disbelief flash in her eyes. "How could you curse your own child? You really — You would choose Lyca's comfort above mine? You don't want me to scheme against her? You don't want me to hurt her? What about me, Long Yi? Did you think that this… you leaving me and running her is not hurting me?"

Long Yi snorted. He fought the urge to laugh at this stupid woman. "You think you can hurt her?" He squinted his eyes. "Huang Xiaoxuan… you are indeed dreaming. If you want to survive, I suggest you wake up as soon as possible and stop thinking about things that you cannot do!"

Huang Xiaoxuan stared at him. It hurts her that Long Yi is thinking too highly of that woman. However, arguing with him like this is not going to change anything. "I will stay and watch this competition with you," she declared before leaving the room.

Seeing his wife gone, Long Yi could only let out a few curses. Every time Lyca appears, bad things keep on happening to him. It's truly infuriating!

…..

Lyca lifted the teacup and smelled the tea in her hand. Its fragrance is enough to make her smile. "So…" she lifted her gaze away from the cup and look at Cleo and Chu Nan, who sat opposite her. "White wig?"

"Well…" Cleo lowered her gaze before she pointed at Chu Nan. "It's his fault."

"Why is it my fault? I didn't wear some white wig!"

"You told me to wear it!"

"You lost the bet!" Chu Nan reasoned. "Not my fault that you are so stupid!"

"You— "

Lyca lifted an eyebrow. "What bet?"

"He said… you won't attend the ceremony. I said you would. After all, you train those people." Cleo sighed. "Of course, I lost and as a consequence, I wore the wig."

"If I joined then… Chu Nan would put the wig on?"

Cleo nodded. She honestly thought that Lyca would join the opening ceremony. "I won't do it again."

"And the black clothes?" Lyca inquired.

"I thought it would look cool to wear black too. It looks good on you."

"Well… she's Lyca. You are you." Chu Nan snorted.

"Are you saying that she is pretty while I'm ugly?"

"Your words. Not mine."

Cleo's face turned scarlet red. She clenched her fist. "Mr. Chu you are purposely picking on me! How about we fight!"

"…" Chu Nan shrugged and look at Lyca. "It's not a big deal, right?"

"No. It's not a big deal. In fact, I am quite thankful. You should wear that wig more and attend events under my name."

"…"

"That — " Cleo gulped. Lyca smiled at her as her eyes trailed down towards Cleo's clothes. Unknowingly, Cleo hugged herself. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"You are a bit taller than me. But just a little. Our bodies… are almost the same." Lyca smiled before she looked at Chu Nan. "Mr. Chu is also quite handsome. Not as handsome as my Shen Qui but… passable."

Cleo and Chu Nan frowned at the same time, a foreboding feeling boiling inside them.

"Oh?" Ronan who just walked inside the room with Shen Qui paused when he noticed the weird atmosphere inside. "What's happening?" He looked at Shen Qui, who walked towards Lyca. Kissing his wife's lips, Shen Qui sat next to her and poured himself some tea.

"I already took care of everything. I wasn't expecting to point out the real culprit. However, most companies now think that Long Yi is eying our armor. We should be safe… for now." His gaze turned towards the white-haired Cleo. Lifting an eyebrow, he looked at his lovely wife who is enjoying her tea.

Sensing his gaze, Lyca look at him and smiled. "We should be thankful to Cleo. At least… the person behind this was dumb enough to think that she was me."

Thank you for your patience.
