Chapter 175: Ninja Bike

Lyca pursed her lips as she listened to Yi'an words about the people that she wanted to hire. Lyca's first priority was not really training but the technology and the poisons that she was planning to create. After all, one man with the right poison could always defeat an army.

"Alright. Send me the details. I will look into it." She said before she handed Yi'an a list of chemicals that she needed to have for her experiments. "Shen Qui is going to come here.

"Young Miss… we are in the place with families. I think it is better if he doesn't bring his bodyguards, that would bow every time he walked past them. It would scare the— "

"No need to worry about that."

Yi'an immediately shut her mouth and started talking about the black market and the Long Family again.

"So, they are actually restricting the purchase of chemicals?"

"Yes. It has been two years now. They are trying to get a record of the people who were purchasing large amounts of the chemical. I think they thought they could use this way to track us."

Lyca nodded. It has been three years, and the Long Family was still hell-bent on looking for her. A sinister smile rose on her lips. "Then… I will let them know that I am still alive."

"Young miss?"

Lyca's smile was too beautiful it was scary. "Don't worry just do whatever I asked you to do. She then stood and walked out of Yi'an's office. "So you were working as a daycare teacher?" She eyed the colorful decorations and kid's drawings on the walls of Yi'an's living room. Lyca was actually surprised to hear that the woman was actually working as a part-time daycare teacher as her 'day job'.

She didn't miss the blush on Yi'an face as she nodded. "I think they were so cute."

Lyca nodded. She doesn't particularly hate children but she always thought they were too noisy, plus taking care of them would be too tiring. However, if Shen Qui would….

Halt….

Lyca frowned. Did she just thought of having kids with Shen Qui?

Silly, she thought inwardly before she beamed. "Alright... I am leaving now. He's here." He immediately gave Yi'an a hug before running out of the house, like an excited teenager who was about to meet her boyfriend.

When Lyca saw the man riding a huge ninja bike, she lifted an eyebrow. He was wearing a black leather jacket that matched his black ninja bike and black helmet. This….

This wasn't what she was thinking when Shen Qui told her that he wouldn't attract any attention while visiting the neighborhood. "You can drive this?" she wanted to make sure that this wasn't all for show. Shen Qui riding a huge motorcycle was definitely something that made her stomach flutter. But she wanted to make sure that they won't end up in an accident.

His lips only lifted into a handsome smirk, making him look a little evil, a little hotter. She giggled at the thought. "Alright…" Lyca uttered. She let him put on the helmet on her. Then he turned on the ninja bike and sat there, listening to the purr of the engine as he lifted an eyebrow at her, waiting for her to get on.

Lyca smiled before she complied and immediately felt the engine beneath her. Shen Qui revved the engine, the huge machine shot immediately in between her legs. "Do you know how to ride a bike?" he asked.

"I even know how to ride you. I am certain a simple bike ride is easy." She beamed and rested her head on his shoulders as she wrapped her arms around his waist.

"So… naughty…." She heard him say before the bike started moving. "Stop smiling…" Shen Qui's voice reached her.

"Why?" she asked. Lyca actually never rode a motorcycle before. While her balance was very good, she felt that it traveling on a bike was such an inconvenience. She was certain it would destroy her hair, and she would once again use more energy to fix it. The rain and heat would be another problem. Why would she try to experience such inconvenience when she had a driver to drive her around while she sleep, eat, and read?

Soon, Lyca understood why Shen Qui warned her about smiling too much. Hah! She immediately pursed her lips and closed her eyes when Shen Qui accelerated. She wondered if the man was doing this on purpose! "Where are we going?" Lyca shouted, more like screaming.

"I can hear you fine. Stop shouting."

"Oh!" She pouted. This man is deliberately doing it.

"Sunset!" Shen Qui uttered after a few seconds. "Close your eyes."

This time, she didn't hesitate. Lyca tightened her arms around his, as she closed her eyes and felt the wind swoosh around her. The pressure from the wind increased, and Lyca had to close the visor of her helmet to protect her eyes. 

Then she felt the bike slowly descending until it came to a full stop. She didn't even know that she was holding her breath until relief flooded through her. 

"This is your first time?" She opened her eyes and didn't answer him. Lyca tried to remove the helmet but discovered that it actually wasn't easy as it looks. Without thinking she removed a dagger from her— 

"Whoa! You can't use a knife to remove that. Let me do it." Shen Qui said as amusement laced his tone. He laughed when he saw her glaring daggers at her.

"You knew this is my first time, and yet you— " she narrowed her eyes. "You deliberately hit a hundred kilometers per hour!"

"A hundred and fifty."

She playfully slapped his arm. 

"And, of course, it was deliberate. It would make you hug me tighter." His nonchalance, however, made her smile. Then he smiled at her. "And it worked. That was actually the first time that you hugged me so tight, I could barely breath."
