Chapter 247: Bed

Lyca let out a surprised gasp. She loves him! That's why she was so worried and tense and scared and in denial. Love. That is the only explanation for her crazy emotions. However, she decided not to think about these emotions right now as she still needed to talk to the mayor. Moreover, she also... "Whoa! Whoa! Why are you here?" Her eyes turned so wide when she saw the pale Shen Qui standing by the door of the walk-in closet. 

Then she quickly closed her eyes and smiled. Ah, that's right. She was hallucinating. There's no way that Shen Qui would wake up and walk around acting like nothing happened. He might have woken up earlier but that didn't mean he could already stand and walk more than five steps away from his bed.

Love.

Yep. That should be the effect of this emotion. She is acting like a crazy woman— she even started to hallucinate.

"Why are you talking to yourself? Are you praying?"

Her eyes flew open. "You're real? Why are you here? You're not supposed to walk around just— " she looked at his leg and just as she expected, she immediately saw some blood starting to … "What the hell is wrong with you?" Lyca really couldn't help but feel irritated. She immediately held his arm and assisted him out of the walk-in closet then into their king size bed. "If your blood gets into my bed, I will let you sleep on the floor."

"Sounds scary," he chuckled.

"Why are you laughing." She helped him lie down. "I am going to call the doctor and— "

"I am healed. I just needed rest."

"Still so hardheaded?" She gritted her teeth. She had never met someone as stubborn as this man. "Why are you even here? You can't just walk around after having surgery twelve hours ago! What the hell, Shen Qui! What do you think will happen if your wounds get— " she stopped talking and immediately glared at him when she saw him smiling.

"You are worried about me."

"No. I am not. Without you, no one will run the company! How am I supposed to get my revenge without your help? Stupid man! How did I even agree to marry someone like you in the first place? Being stupid is contagious— "

"And yet, you love this stupid man." There was a hint of amusement in his voice. Seeing his eyes sparkled like stars, Lyca frowned. She looked at him, unamused at his antics. Around him, she had started to get nervous, tensed, and more talkative. Didn't she promise to become as lazy as possible in this world? Why was she talking a lot? She gulped. "Don't you?" he asked.

She immediately opened her mouth, she was about to tell him that he was wrong that this didn't love. But, she couldn't say it. She couldn't lie. Not when it comes to Shen Qui and her emotions. 

Shen Qui chuckled before coughing. "I just want to confirm it. I know you would try to do something about the accident. Just want to confirm…" he smiled as he held her hand. "Thank you."

"Jesus… why are you acting like you're dying?"

"I won't die. I don't want you to chop me up and spread my remains to the city."

She frowned at that. It seems that Shen Qui really heard her crazy mumblings earlier. "Don't you dare die without my permission?"

"Yes ma'am," he smiled before he closed his eyes. Seeing this, Lyca let out a sharp sigh. This man really something. Even daring to walk around with an injury just to confirm if she really loves him? Crazy is not really enough to describe him. But then again, no one in their right mind would propose to someone like Lyca.

After a few minutes, Lyca decided to give the man a slight kiss on the lips before walking out and calling Ronan and the doctors to help Shen Qui. She was certain that the injury won't kill him but his craziness is another story. So, she asked Ronan to watch Shen Qui until she comes back.

It didn't take too long for Lyca to leave the ranch. She immediately went near the Mayor's mansion and use the access that she used when she visited the crazy Jessica to get inside the mansion. Of course, with Ronan's assistance, it was easier for her to walk inside undetected. 

Lyca first went to the Mayor's office. Ronan said the incident happened in the office and none of them notice that Jessica was hiding in the corner. She examined the area before plugging a flash drive in the mayor's laptop and copying all the files inside. Ronan told her that this might show some important stuff about the mayor's illegal business. This laptop is not connected to the house's Internet so it was quite hard for Ronan to hack it. 

After a few minutes, Lyca was again jumping on the walls until she arrived at the Mayor's room. She wasn't surprised to know that it was full of guards. It was still daytime and Lyca thought this would be the best time to visit the mayor as the guards won't be as high alert as they would be during the night.

"Are you sure, she wasn't at the club?" The mayor's voice echoed as Lyca slowly went inside the Mayor's room through the open door. The Man was currently on his phone, there was an obvious white bandage on the mayor's left arm. "Then find her! We can't let our enemies get ahold of this news! And if they do, make sure they think I am fighting for my life. Let them show their fangs!"

"What about the Zhang Family? Who has the time to deal with them now?" The mayor yelled. "Just tell them to send more people here! If they wanted to use me to target that man and Miss Huang then… then they better send more people here! Tell them I am a very busy man! I don't have the time to see them so we can plan — F*ck why are they spending so many resources on those people!? Just tell them to cause an explosion or something! And don't call me again once you have details about Jessica's whereabouts! F*cking useless!" The Mayor ended the call and throw his phone towards the bed only to realize that someone was already sitting on his huge bed.

"Hey, where did you buy your bed?" Lyca gave the old man a sincere smile.
