Chapter 83: Broken Neck

However, before Long Yi could open the leather box, he closed it and eyed Lyca. "Thank you." A sincere smile flashed on his face. "I will check it out later. I think the gift is very special. I don't want other people to see it."

Lyca fought the urge to roll her eyes.

"Cousin. It is so sweet of you to give Mr. Long a gift." Huang Xiaoxuan stood next to Lyca. Of course, she noticed how Long Yi had been giving Lyca all of his attention since she arrived. However, she also saw how Lyca ignored him. Huang Xiaoxuan knew Lyca enough to know that the woman was too lazy to engaged in conversations like this. So, she chose to stand by her side and answer Long Yi's question for Lyca.

"Hm." Lyca nodded, her eyes were observing the crowd. Just like Lyca and Huang Xiaoxuan, everyone was wearing black. Except for Long Yi who was wearing an all-white suit. Under the dazzling light of the chandelier, Long Yi looked even more attractive. Even Lyca gave a nod of approval to the man.

"Xiaoxuan… why don't you get Lyca something to drink?" Long Yi said.

"No." Lyca shook her head and stared at Long Yi. "I would only drink something that you personally gave me."

As expected, Long Yi beamed at her words. He was supposed to be the birthday celebrant but Lyca personally asked him to serve her. Of course, to him this means something. Maybe Lyca was trying to see if he would act arrogant and decline?

That was not going to happen tonight. He immediately stood from his seat and walked towards the area where the drinks are located.

"That man is a fool. You sure you like him?" Lyca mumbled when Long Yi finally left them.

"You— This is his birthday. Why would you— "

"People would do everything to get what they want," Lyca said. "Keep that in mind."

"Hmph!" Huang Xiaoxuan left Lyca's side to help Long Yi get the drinks. Lyca is indeed quite abnormal. Tonight was supposed to be Long Yi's birthday and yet she dared ask him to get her drinks? How inappropriate.

Seeing Huang Xiaoxuan leave, Lyca also stood and left the room. It was too crowded and Long Yi won't leave her alone. That man is either too clueless or he is thinking that she was purposely acting like this to get his attention. Typical prideful man who can't accept someone doesn't like them.

Just like the TV series that she watched last night.

The room where the party was held was huge and elegant. She was expecting that the party would happen on that meeting room with a huge rectangular table and portraits of the previous student council presidents hanging on the wall. To her surprise, they were actually in the room across the meeting room. She eyed the huge chandelier that was made of crystals and beautiful rustic red lamps.

The black-themed party was using red to highlight its lavish decorations. From the blood-red roses that adorned the huge rectangular table to the red velvets used in the lounge furniture. A huge black three-tier cake with red ribbons and roses was in the middle of the room just below the chandelier. Lyca couldn't help but wonder why Long Yi would wear white when the theme was actually red and black.

Attention.

That was the only thing she could think of. Of course, he would want all the attention to himself, after all, this was his birthday. Lyca immediately thought about her past birthdays. She hated celebrations— especially something that would remind her of a wedding. Because of this, her parents never really followed the usual big and grand birthdays for her. Instead, they would celebrate it with just the three of them. And of course, sometimes Yi'an and the other servants would join them.

She wondered if Shen Qui would join them this year though. That man is too unpredictable. Sweet and gentle and naive. Then he would turn into someone dangerous, cold, and someone that she would love to devour.

To be honest, she liked that kind of transition. A man with many sides and secrets. She found it mysterious. Too bad… she doesn't have the ability to reciprocate what he was giving.

"Long Yi was looking for you." Lyca turned towards the man who approached her. Wearing a black suit with purple ties, Xie Jun was surprisingly smiling at her. "Why are you hiding here?" Lyca was actually on the balcony of the meeting room just across the room where the birthday party was held.

Ignoring his words, Lyca turned her attention to the tranquility in front of her.

Xie Jun just shrugged and stood next to her. He hated this woman but for their plans, he needed to at least act cordially. Plus, tonight Long Yi was planning something for Lyca. He could only hope that this woman would fall for it. Or… they would face another trouble.

"You should go back to the party. Many people wanted to talk to the new member of the student council. You should know that this membership would be inherited by the members of the Huang Family, right?"

Again, she didn't answer. She just stood in a daze, watching the sparkling lights around the building. She badly wanted to go back to her room and cuddle… the wrong word. She meant snuggle in her bed with her comfortable pillow and blankets… and preferably a handsome man like Shen Qui.

"Do you hate speaking to me that much?" Xie Jun asked. He was really helpless when it comes to a weird woman who doesn't follow basic etiquette in conversations!

"Hate," Lyca uttered, her gaze still on the lights. "You think too much." Hate was a strong word that meant she cared. She doesn't.

She wouldn't care if Xie Jun would suddenly fall from the second floor and broke his neck. Finally, Lyca turned her head and stared at Xie Jun. Her gaze darted towards the man's neck.

"What— What are you doing?" Xie Jun shivered and took a step back, his instincts telling him that something is definitely wrong with this woman.

"Too noisy." Lyca smiled an evil, sinister smile.
