Chapter 408: Law of Attraction

Just as Lyca expected, Xu Jihan didn't actually schedule a meeting with Shen Qui. This made her more suspicious.

"A skin mask?" Ronan frowned. He looked at Shen Qui then at Lyca in the rearview mirror. "I haven't heard of a good one. I meant... I saw one in spy movies? But a real one? No. However, I am certain that it would be very possible to create one of that stuff. Maybe the spies from the government have one."

"You haven't heard of a real skin mask?" Lyca asked.

"No. Wait… are you… are you going to start making skin masks too?"

"I'm planning to." Lyca shrugged.

"That cannot be legal."

Lyca rolled her eyes. She already killed people, steal and did a lot of other horrible things. What kind of legal was this man talking about? "How far along are we to Long City?" She ignored Ronan, who sat on the front seat and tugged Shen Qui's arms.

"About thirty more minutes."

"Then… that should be enough for my sleep." She closed her eyes but didn't actually feel asleep. Until now, Lyca couldn't help but think about that man's eyes. It was gentle and warm… and deadly. And it was familiar— so familiar it gave her goosebumps.

Ken Xu….

The name had been stuck in her head for months now. Seeing the man right now actually makes sense. However, Lyca already changed everything around her after coming into this world. She was no longer the hardworking and efficient killer that she was once. She was now the lazy Lyca. And she actually thought that she perfectly managed to maintain this image.

Everyone around here knows that she wanted a lazy life. And some hated her for it.

Surely, that wouldn't escape Xu Ke's eyes, right?

Lyca bit her bottom lip. If Ken Xu came to see her, then it only meant he was definitely Xu Ke! He must be looking for her because of the herbs that she took! Xu Ke should be the person who created those poisons. After all, she taught him some of the deadliest poison in that world.

Xu Ke must have arrived in this world earlier than her. But what about the things that happened when she was in a coma? Was it possible that she was only dreaming? Was it possible that all those things were some sort of closure that her mind gave her before she could move on and love someone else?

Ah, all this thinking is making her head hurt. It is better to stop assuming and just sleep.

When Lyca woke up, they were already back in the mansion that they used to stay a few days back. "Oh? They're already here?" She looked at the two cars already parked inside the parking lot of the mansion. One car was used by her parents with Ma Ping and Oneword, and the other was used by the Chu twins, Cleo and Rue. She remembered leaving first, how come they arrived first?

"We were at forty miles per hour because you were sleeping," Ronan said. He felt dizzy from riding at forty miles. As much as he hated it, he couldn't say anything because Shen Qui would immediately glare at him the moment he attempted to open his mouth!

"Oh. That made sense. Well? Let's go inside!" She looked at Shen Qui and realized that he was already on his phone. Ah, being a CEO was really making him busy. However, Lyca didn't feel any sadness at all! Having a hardworking husband, that pampers her lazy ass is still the best!

"So? When are we going to Huang Security?" She walked towards her father, who was already walking with his and Tang Nini's luggage in tow.

"Tomorrow."

"Oh." Lyca nodded. "And you are going to stay here after this?"

"Yes. We will be visiting your maternal grandparents this afternoon. So… you should come."

Lyca nodded. Right now, the Long Family should be too busy to care for them. Moreover, Shen Security is now the hottest company in town. The Long Family would be hesitant to touch them now that everyone is eying their armor.

"I need to see someone first. So I'll just see you there for dinner. I will be with Shen Qui." She remembered that she hadn't introduced her husband to anyone in her maternal family yet. Of course, aside from her cousin Tang Ruyi who saw Shen Qui when they were about to…

Uhh… thinking about things like these in the middle of the day has been proven unproductive and frustrating, especially in public.

So, Lyca beamed and went to her room to think about it in private.

After a few minutes, Shen Qui arrived in their room. When he saw that Lyca was lying on the bed, he instantly jumped towards her. "Tired?"

"I would be if you do something," She snaked her arms around his neck, then she pulled him for a kiss. A bubble of pure joy seemed to occupied Lyca's bloodstreams. Apparently, thinking about things like this in the daytime was not as bad as she thought.

Sometimes, she should just let the universe decide. Some people would call this law of attraction. The more you think about it… the more the universe will align itself to make it happen!

Ah… she should think about sleeping with him all the time, from now on!

When the two left the room, it was already three in the afternoon. Both already took a bath and changed their clothes. Unlike Lyca's previous all-black attire, she especially wore a midi dress today. It was white with pinkish and some red petals that looked more like blood than petals.

Nevertheless, her white hair made the dress popped. It made her look like a goddess…

Of course, she only had Shen Qui to thank for this. After all, he was the one who bought the dress for her.

"We're going to see Huang Ying." Lyca's statement made her father froze. Huang Sheng Hong and Tang Nini were already in their bulletproofed car, waiting for Lyca and Shen Qui. "I will meet you for dinner," Lyca added.

"You are— you are going to a mental institution? Why?" Huang Sheng Hong asked.

"Father… I'm not going there to kill her." Of course, Lyca went straight to the point. She knew that her father wanted to know if she would kill his sister. "I just wanted to see her."

"Alright then… call me if you need anything. Let's meet in your grandfather's mansion. Tang Ruyi and your Elder Brother Tang Jinyi would be there too. As well as your aunts and uncles. It would be good to introduce Qui'er to everyone." Tang Nini pulled her daughter for a hug.

However, Lyca's face was already dark. Qui'er? Qui'er?

Did her mother just called Qui'er?

Why was she so angry?

Why does it feel like she was jealous of her own mother?

"Haha… I'm kidding. I won't call him Qui'er from now on. Xiao Qui would be best." Her mother laughed and looked at Huang Sheng Hong." You win… seems like she is indeed miserable that I called him Qui'er."

"…" Lyca was speechless. Lyca just realized that she was actually a very jealous and petty person.
