Chapter 209: Cross-dressing

Huang Xiaoxuan frowned and ignored the guy who was giving her a lascivious gaze. "Son Yani… we should leave. Long Yi is waiting for me."

"Long Yi?" Lyca uttered. "Mr. Long from the Long Family?" Her words made Huang Xiaoxuan smile.

"That's right. I am Huang Xiaoxuan… his wife."

"Wife…" Tang Xi reiterated.

"Is there something wrong?"

"Oh… No… No… nothing. I just…" Lyca lowered her gaze as she fought the urge to laugh.

"Just what?" Huang Xiaoxuan frowned. "Do you know my husband?" she looked at the two people in front of her and immediately concluded that these are minor characters. Both are dressed simply, no jewelry can be seen on their body and they were eating in a… place like this.

She was certain that not anyone important would risk having the smell of barbecue in their clothes when they were about to talk to important people at the convention. 

"Do you know these two?" she asked her friend.

"Oh. Lai Su used to work in the company that I worked for. He is a researcher. Sadly, the company fired him because of some grave misconduct."

"That's not true!" Lai Su said. How could he let this nasty woman ruin his name? He was about to start arguing and remind this Yani of her research paper that she copied from him when Lyca elbowed him. Lai Su knew that these people wouldn't recognize Lyca as a woman because she— well she even looked and sound manly than him!

Lai Su didn't understand how Lyca was about to change her voice and mannerisms in such a short period, but he was very impressed with the changes. Even the machine that Lyca used to changed her voice was pretty impressive! Lai Su lowered his head as he balled his hands into tight fists. 

"Really? Didn't you sexually harassed one of our colleagues?" Son Yani's scarlet lips curved into a mocking smile. She purposely made her voice a little louder, just to make sure that the people on the next table could hear them. "Asking for sexual favors in exchange for your research material? Lai Su… You are nothing but a disgusting pig."

"Son Yani… you are going overboard!" Lai Su gritted his teeth. After his wife's death when he was still in his early twenties, Lai Su never found someone that he liked until now. He never asked for anyone's sexual favor or even touched another woman sexually since his wife left him! He trembled in anger, his eyes turned red. How could he stand such an insult? Lai Su felt tears pooled in his eyes.

He was never good with confrontation and though, he was already a man in his forties, having confrontations like these was still his weakness.

"Aiishhh… My meat is burnt." Lyca's words interrupted the tense atmosphere. She immediately used her chopsticks to get her meat, her face disappointed. "Lai Su… stop talking and grill my meat," Lyca uttered. Her words seemed to calm Lai Su down.

"And this woman… " Lyca propped her handsome face into his palms. "I didn't know that a pig could actually talk. Hey, Lai Su… should we grill this woman too?"

"You— " Son Yani's eyes widened. Does this man just call her fat? Her face immediately reddened. "You— Don't you know who I am?"

"Hey, you! How dare you talk to the head of the research facility of the prestigious Long Family?" Huang Xiaoxuan chimed in. "You— How could a man like you even insult a woman like Son Yani?"

"Insult is different from facts," Lyca said. "I am merely asking her if she was a pig. Why are you reacting like… I called her a pig?" she looked at Huang Xiaoxuan. "Ah. So… you actually thought that she was a pig? What kind of friend are you?"

"You— You— " Son Yani tried to yank Lyca's arms, but the other was quick to avoid Son Yani's hands. "You dare… call me a pig?" Son Yani's weight was always one of her insecurities. She was well aware of this and everyone around her had been very careful about mentioning this topic when she was around. Don't get her wrong.

Son Yani was not fat. She was a bit chubby. But was CANNOT be considered fat. Still, when she was around the tall and slim Huang Xiaoxuan and her equally slim friends, Son Yani cannot help but feel a little irritated.

"You said it." Lyca shrugged. She looked at the newly grilled meat and immediately stuffed it in her mouth.

"Someone who eats like a pig. Would actually call Son Yani pig?" Huang Xiaoxuan uttered. The smell of grilled meat was really making her uncomfortable but Son Yani was the daughter of the head researcher of the Long Family. Right now, Huang Xiaoxuan was planning to get close to this woman so she could also get close to Son Yani's father.

"You say that she was the head researcher? I thought that the head researcher was a male? Unless… " Lyca gave the two a suspecting look before she leaned towards Lai Su. "She is cross-dressing. No wonder she looked like a boar. We should use the pronoun them from now on. Just to show that we respect them for their choice."

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Unable to stop herself, Son Yani threw her handbag towards Lyca. Of course, Lyca stood and easily avoided the bag.

"Aishh…. Lai Su protect my food. This woman wanted to steal my meat!" Lyca said before she turned around and stood behind Huang Xiaoxuan. "Your friend is going to steal my meat. Stop her, or I will grill her too." Lyca's chuckle echoed in Huang Xiaoxuan's ears. 

Before Huang Xiaoxuan could even say another word, Lyca's words already echoed inside this restaurant. "Someone call the police! This person is harassing my meat!"

"..."

"..."

"You! Come back here!" Son Yani's face turned so red as she called out the laughing Lyca. "You! How dare you call me fat! I am not fat!"
