Lazily Yours.

"School is needed. How could it be an issue? He needs to go to school and have some friends." Shen Qui calmly handed some cookies to his lovely wife. "How could you tell him it's alright not to attend school? Now, he is thinking that all kids are troublesome."

"I don't think Aya is annoying."

"Aden… "

"Sorry, Dad." Aden lowered his head, his shoulders slumped. Of all the surrounding kids, Aya Shen, her sister is the least annoying and everyone in the Shen household knows this.

"Aden… you need to have friends. Talk to other people. You can't just talk to robots all the time."

"Honey, talking to robots is sometimes better than talking to other people." Lyca smiled. "Aden, go to your room. We will talk later." Lyca sent his son a playful wink before turning her attention towards Shen Qui. She waited for his son to leave her office.

"You — really — I am helpless." Shen Qui immediately complained. The domineering CEO of Shen Group that was famous for being ruthless, turned into a whining puppy in front of his wife. "Aden is just like you and… this is giving me a headache."

"Hmmm. I never thought that he would be like me since he looked like you. It's weird." Lyca finished one of the cookies. "Anyway, I have a simple solution about this matter."

Shen Qui looked at his wife before he suddenly lifted her up from the swivel chair where she was sitting and carrying her towards the couch.

"What's this? It's in the middle of the day." Lyca uttered. Of course, she isn't showing any resistance at all.

"Alright talk."

Lyca frowned. She tilted her head and met her husband's eyes. Right now, she was sitting in his lap. She was honestly expecting something else to happen. She was clearly disappointed, ah. "Let's just… tell him to finish school as soon as possible!" She beamed. "If he dislikes kids so much then he should just finish school in a few years to avoid them."

"Skip grades?" Shen Qui frowned.

In response, a smug smile appeared on Lyca's face. "Just like me!"

"If you keep on…"

"Geniuses act like that because they are way advance beyond their age. Imagine being a college student attending 1st grade. What would you feel about your playmates whining about everything?" Lyca said. "Aish… don't blame him. He got both of our genes. It's not his fault."

"Then you already planned to make him skip grades?"

"Of course. I already thought about this before I gave birth."

"…"

"If you want your life to run smoothly, you need to think about things that will make you happy." Lyca chuckled. "Now… kiss me and make me happy."

Shen Qui could only shake his head. He lowered his head and claimed his wife's lips.

"Mommy? Daddy?"

When they heard Aya's voice, they immediately stopped kissing and looked at the three-year-old, walking towards them. If Aden was just like Lyca, Aya was exactly like Shen Qui. Luckily, she didn't have Lyca's white hair, which made Lyca really happy.

"What's wrong?" Lyca removed herself from her husband's lap so the little lady could take her place.

"Big brother said he would create a shield for me."

"A what?" Shen Qui could feel another wave of a headache coming.

"A shield, like Captain America. I want something like that."

"Oh then… let him do it."

"He said he won't be able to do it anymore." Despite the absence of tears in Aya's eyes, her small little pink lips that resembled Lyca's were morphed into a frown.

"Why?" Lyca asked. For some reason, a part of her knew what Aden said to her younger sister.

"He said… he won't be here anymore because you will ask him to go to school. He said he needed to leave soon. Is that true?"

The smile on Lyca's face vanished. That little brat is so like her, it is embarrassing. She could even read that brat's mind!

"Is that true?" Aya looked at her father, then her mother.

"It's alright, sweetie. No need to worry. How about I make you something like that shield? I will even make a knife that will go with the shield? How about that?" Lyca said. Did Aden think he would win against her? She laughed inwardly.

"Really? But brother said mother is so busy. Can you really do that?"

What kind of mother would give her three-year-old a knife? Still, Shen Qui managed a sweet smile on his face. "Aya, you should trust your mother. She is an expert in things like this." Shen Qui was smiling but deep inside, he could already feel the problem that Aden would create just to avoid going to school. His gaze met his wife's eyes. Aden had become really smart and cunning, he couldn't wait for Aden to butt heads with his mother.

Ah, just the thought of it made him smile.

Seeing the frown on Lyca's face, Shen Qui couldn't help but hug Aya and kissed her head. Lyca and Aden were too alike, it would be inevitable for them to have some challenges in the future. Seeing the face of his wife darken, he darted his tongue out before beaming at her.

In response, Lyca's eyes squinted at him. "Your brother will go to Du Empire to study soon," Lyca said. "You don't have to worry about your brother. I already decided to reward him for creating Bobo. I will have him take some examinations to skip his grade and avoid other kids. After coming back, I am sure he will create a stronger shield for you." There was a hint of assurance in Lyca's voice.

"Really?"

"Of course! After all, your brother is just the smartest!"

His Savage Love

Killing her son in front of her wasn't enough to satisfy their savagery. So they cut off her limbs and laughed as she bled to death.

Who would have thought that the end she had expected never arrived?

Instead of falling into the abyss of death, she woke up ten years before her demise.

Would she be able to save herself this time?
