Chapter 320: Lai Su the Shield

In just a blink of an eye, the seven-day honeymoon passed with Lyca just tangled on the bed with her husband. This wasn't really something she wanted, but Shen Qui wouldn't let her out of the bed. Of course, she tried to complain and other ways to make him agree, but the latter was hell-bent on making her stay in bed.

In Shen Qui's words, Lyca isn't allowed to leave the bed as she was sick and weak from the cold. They needed to recuperate. Shen Qui took care of everything. From the cooking to cleaning, even her hot bath! Again, she complained, but he only reminded her of how hurt he was that she left him alone for an entire night.

In the end, Lyca just shook her head. She was helpless! Truly helpless!

But this wasn't really a bad thing. Lyca just spent her honeymoon sleeping with her husband. Isn't that what she wanted? "Now that I thought about it, this is actually the life that I want." Lyca mused as Shen Qui massaged her waist. "You should learn how to cook more dishes. I can't just eat egg and porridge forever. Plus, that pizza that you love to make was quite unhealthy. I am always in bed without exercise, I need to eat healthy… aw… slowly!" Lyca winced. "Don't get angry… I will start an excellent exercise routine once we get back. I need to stay fit. I realized that staying with you is going to break my bones."

"Says the person whose appetite is just too— "

"Don't say something like that." Lyca smiled. "It's only right that my appetite would be good. I am still young, alright!"

"It's done." Shen Qui said. "Get dressed. The car should be here anytime now."

"I don't want to leave."

"Get dressed." Shen Qui lifted Lyca and made her lie on her back. "Of we won't leave this place and Chu Nan will wonder why we are late. Then he would barge in and disturb us. How could you let someone disturb you? A tigress would surely kill the intruder. Would you be able to take responsibility for killing someone from the Chu Family?"

"You talk too much." She held both of her hands up, gesturing him to pull her up.

In response, Shen Qui pulled her up and out of the bed. "But you like it, don't you?"

She didn't answer, instead she started undressing herself. "I want to stay in this place."

"Nah, I can't let you stay in bed forever. You are already pale from the lack of sun, you don't exercise and just do some stretching. If you keep on doing this, I will become a widower at the age of thirty."

"…" Why does this man keep on cursing her? She faked a smile and finished dressing before she went back to bed, letting Shen Qui finished packing their things. "Being pampered is good." She beamed before she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

When Lyca woke up again, Shen Qui was already carrying her in his arms towards the car. Of course, she just continued sleeping on her way back to the Ath Province. After another painful eight-hour drive, Lyca and Shen Qui finally arrived in the Chu Family mansion.

This time however, Lai Su was already waiting for them along with Rue.

"Mr. Lai is an expert in this field. He will be working with you on a new technology that he developed. It was a tablet that could slowly kill cancer cells. However, this is nothing but pure theory. We haven't tested this to any subjects," Lyca explained to Old Man Chu.

"You mean — this man…"

"Yes, Old Man. Lai Su is a genius. Someone who was previously robbed of something he created before. Currently, he is studying radiation therapy. I am sure you already know this, but radiation therapy usually aims to kill cancer cells or slows down their growth by targeting their DNA. Lai Su is currently creating something, a tablet that should be taken without showing any side effects. Meaning, it will only target all the cancerous cells."

"That — Is this true?" Even Chu Munan was surprised to hear about this matter. Radiation therapy had various side effects. The current radiation therapy not only targets cancer cells but can also damage other healthy cells. This is why it had some bad said effects too.

"Yes. All of my people are capable of doing miraculous things." Lyca eyed Lai Su who was already frowning. Lai already promised himself that he would stop this crazy obsession with cancer, but he can't. While he had been low key about his progress, Lyca knew everything about it. In fact, she even helped him because of the research papers that she gave him.

However, right now, Lyca was speaking as if this was all Lai Su's doing. Once again, she was using him as a shield. Only Lai Su and Lyca knew that this research was only successful because of Lyca's research materials.

"So, Mr. Lai will create this tablet and sell it to the Chu Family?" Old Man Chu asked. As someone working in the business industry, he was already thinking about the things that this tablet can give them. There would be an endless benefit for both Lai Su and the Chu Family!

Almost immediately, the gazes of the other Chu Family members changed as they stared at Lai Su like he was a money-making machine.

"Lai Su can decide what he wants to do." Lyca shrugged. "I promised to treat Mr. Chu, and that is what I will deliver. Creating one tablet will cost us a lot of money. However, I am certain that the Chu Family will not complain about this matter. The tablets will be created in my laboratory and Mr. Chu will go to Kong City a month from now to start his treatment. Do you have any questions?" she smiled at everyone before stifling another yawn.
