Lazily yours

101 - 104

Chapter 101: House

Lyca snuggled in Shen Qui's arms. She inhaled his scent and smiled.

"Hey, we have a class…." Shen Qui's voice drifted inside her head. Last night, they arrived really late and had another late night bout. Because of this, Lyca was really tired. She felt that her legs were shaking, her waist was about to leave her body.

Who cares about classes? Lyca chose to study hard before because she wanted to graduate earlier and spend her days lazily. Why does she need to bother herself with attending classes now? "Also, your father is coming." Shen Qui added.

"Huh?" She lifted her half-opened eyes and stared at him. "Who?"

"Your father. He said he would visit."

"Why?"

"I don't know… " He shrugged. In response, Lyca sat on the bed and shamelessly eyed Shen Qui's upper body before she shook her head. It seems that she needed to prepare herself for her father's interrogation later.

"I'm taking a bath. Don't join. Or we would spend the whole day washing each other's body." She said in a serious tone as she closed the door of the bathroom behind her. She didn't even realize that she had been naked until she saw her own reflection on the mirror of the bathroom. Sighing, Lyca decided to start taking a bath instead. 

When her father arrived, Lyca was already dressed, her hair was braided by Shen Qui, and in return, she also made some noodles for him. Then she watched as Shen Qui's face reddened after tasting her food. The man got teary eyes… real teary eyes.

It made her wonder if he was happy that she made food for him or that it was because her food was delicious or perhaps it was disgusting, and he had to force himself to eat it.

In the end, she shrugged and finished her own food, ignoring the emotional man in front of her.

"So… you are married." Huang Sheng Hong was frowning as he squinted at Lyca's appearance. "Who braided your hair?" His gaze turned towards Shen Qui. "It was you…" He stated.

"Father..." Lyca smiled at the man opposite her. "Why are you alone? Where is mother?" As expected, her question made Huang Sheng Hong froze. If Lyca guessed correctly, her mother must have warned Huang Sheng Hong not to come here. However, the man just couldn't control himself. So, he came here without the permission of his wife. "Father… I remember when mother got angry…"

"Stop talking." Huang Sheng Hong said sternly. "This is something that a father should do." He said and handed Lyca a velvet box wrapped by a red ribbon.

"What is this?" She immediately opened the box and widened her eyes when she saw a key inside. "A house?"

"Your mother wanted a penthouse. I wanted a house with some basement and a secret room." He stated coldly before looking at Shen Qui. "A place where one could hide dead bodies."

Shen Qui almost choked on the tea that he was drinking. What was that supposed to mean? Of course, he didn't cower, and instead, he smiled at Huang Sheng Hong. "Thank you, father."

"What father?" Huang Sheng Hong snapped before he recalled that Lyca was actually sitting next to Shen Qui. So, he nodded and said, "Hmmm… At least you are smart enough to start calling me father."

Lyca fought the urge to laugh out loud at her father's actions. She was now very curious about the events that happened at the meeting that Shen Qui had with her parents. Did her father acted like a child too?

"Thank you, father." Lyca smiled sweetly before he elbowed Shen Qui. "Does father liked the tea?"

"Yes. This is indeed an excellent tea. Did you order this abroad? I would like to bring some of these to your mother." Huang Sheng Hong answered almost immediately. Of course, he maintained a very stern appearance.
