Chapter 349: Tomato

Sadly, they underestimated Lyca.

When Lyca received the invitation, the first thing that she did was gave it to Chu Nan and Cleo. She smiled and tell them to bring everyone to attend this opening ceremony. She was planning to rest and spend some time with her husband.

In the first place, Lyca was quite emotional. This is the place where… he saved her. For some reason, the thought of drugging herself just so he could save her sounded so creepy. Heh, she actually sounded like a pervert. If she was a man, what she did should be labeled as rape, no? After all, it really looked like she forced herself to be with him.

Now that she thought about it, Lyca became even more gloomy. She pretended to be drugged just so he would touch her! Ah, why does she sound desperate! She calmly told herself that she is already an older woman, both in mind and in heart. This is her second life, alright?

But the more she thought about it, the more agitated she became. The school actually brought memories that made her feel embarrassed! So while her enemies are scheming against her, she was lying in bed and staring at the ceiling, confused.

What should she do next? Should she ask him about it? Should she ask him if he felt forced to be with her? What If he would say yes? Are they going to divorce soon? Actually, Lyca's mind is very chaotic right now. The thought of divorce was making her feel complicated.

Of course, this also made her realized that after all, she was still a woman. Her tendency to overthink things is a part of a woman's instincts.

"So… you won't attend this opening? Everyone is actually required to attend."

"I am sick," she grimaced when she heard Shen Qui's voice. She couldn't help but wonder if coming into this school also reminded him of some things. Slowly, she turned towards him and observed his eyes.

"What's wrong?" he extended his hand and touched her forehead. "You don't have some fever."

"I'm sick of my mind," she said, her eyes still on his face.

"What happened?" she didn't miss the flash of worry that glinted in his eyes. His brows furrowed, lips thinning into a stern line. "Did something happen?" She hid the guilt inside her and smiled.

"Hey, did you regret marrying me?"

"Ah?" What the hell is she thinking?

"It's human nature to think about things like this from time to time. It's like a child… you know they sometimes think if they are adopted."

"…"

"Say something."

"If I say, I don't regret it… you will say that I am lying and I only said it because that's what you wanted to hear."

"Ah? You can read my mind?" Lyca widened her eyes. Was she really that easy to read?

"If you like someone too much, you can actually end their sentences. What's wrong with you?" He leaned closer.

"I r*ped you."

"Huh?"

"I mean… I created some scenarios to make you sleep with me." She even jumped from the second floor of the building and run so she could meet him. Heh, so desperate.

"Oh…. " Shen Qui nodded and smile. Then she didn't say anything else.

"You— You are angry?"

"So… people are scheming against you and you are here lying, thinking about… sex?"

She blinked and blinked again. "Uh…"

"Naughty girl," he chuckled and leaned closer, his lips were already about to touch hers. "You just wanted to sleep with me, right?"

"Uh…"

"Then… your mind can't stop it? Your brains are weird differently, so you were reminded about that night?"

For some reason, she felt her cheeks turn hot. She knew she was blushing. However, she was lucky that he was blocking the light.

"Then… you thought about drinking the drugs that he gave you and jumping from his room. Then… you ran towards your room while calling me?" He darted his tongue and licked her lower lips. "Then… you thought about us in the shower? When you begged me and made it seem like I had no choice but to sleep with you or you won't be able to recover?"

She wanted to nod but couldn't move. She felt him licked her lips again.

"You forgot something," he continued, and she gulped. She could feel sweat trickling down her forehead, her heartbeat raced for some reason. She actually… she couldn't say anything! "I asked you to remove it on your own. I know you can do it. You were already naked, yes? But I refused to touch you unless you don't have some drug in your system. I wanted you to remember." She always found his voice sexy, enticing. The throbbing in between her legs was a reminder that this man was actually an enchantress!

Ah, right? This husband of hers was actually very good-looking and also very good at seducing her. To be fair, he was already good at everything, except cooking.

Lyca didn't even realize that she already closed her eyes. She could feel her heart drumming against her chest. "And you already know what happened after you remove the drugs, right?" he chuckled and she felt his cheeks turned hotter.

She knew she already looked like a tomato.

"Open your eyes," it wasn't a request. It was an order, and she happily obliged.

Staring at his shadowed face, Lyca realized how she always seemed to miss him. Is that logical? Even if he goes out of the house to work, she always missed something about him. She gulped.

She could feel her breath against his face.

"Don't ever doubt yourself again." Shen Qui uttered.

"Huh?"

"This is the first time that you actually look dumb and defenseless." She always looked so independent and cunning. "I like it."

Like a goldfish, she opened her mouth but close it without saying anything. Well… she couldn't really answer him as he was already kissing her.
