Lazily Yours.

Chapter 97: Professional

"What do you want to eat?" Shen Qui stood in front of Lyca.

'You' she wanted to answer but ended up biting her tongue and staring at the stalls in front of them. "Takoyaki, Yakisoba, Grilled squid, Grilled corn, Okonomiyaki, Yakitori, Apple candy, and chocolate banana and beer," Lyca said in one breath. She then let out a sigh before she sat on the bench that could accommodate at least four people. Lyca was too tired, she felt like going home and eating Shen Qui instead. Before her mind started wandering, Lyca bit her lower lips, waking herself up from her imagination.

Is she really going to think about this until they go back to her room? The waiting game was killing her.

"Mr. Long, what do you want to eat? I will go get some food." Huang Xiaoxuan asked as she sat next to Lyca. She was exhausted, but she doesn't mind at all. It was all worth it in the end. 

"I suggest you try the grilled beef too," Shen Qui said. "That stall."

"Alright," Lyca nodded. "Hungry."

"Hmmm. I will go buy some," Shen Qui immediately went to the stalls to buy Lyca's orders leaving Lyca with Long Yi and Huang Xiaoxuan. 

"I want everything that Lyca said earlier." Long Yi said nonchalantly. Now that Shen Qui was gone, he immediately found a way to talk to Lyca alone. Hearing this, Huang Xiaoxuan nodded. She then stood and followed Shen Qui towards the stalls.

"Hey" Long Yi moved a little closer to Lyca. "Are you mad at me?"

"Hmm?" She finally decided to stop staring at the food and looked at Long Yi. "No."

"Then why did you bring Shen Qui and Huang Xiaoxuan?"

"Shen Qui is my bodyguard. Xiaoxuan is my cousin." She said.

"But the date is supposed to be just for the two of us."

"Oh?" Lyca lifted an eyebrow but said nothing. She was too lazy to explain useless things to this man.

"About Huang Xiaoxuan there is nothing between us."

"Oh?" Lyca shrugged. Poor Huang Xiaoxuan, she thought inwardly. But this was the life that Huang Xiaoxuan wanted, so Lyca was not planning to intervene. That woman even wanted to kill her just so she could have an engagement with this abusive r*pist. She should face the consequences of her actions.

"Just to be clear I like you. I don't like your cousin. Nothing is going on between Huang Xiaoxuan and me. The only reason why I personally recruited her to become my secretary was that I wanted to get closer to you."

Lyca looked at Long Yi's face and wondered if he was really this delusional. Isn't it clear that she doesn't like him? "Thank you. I like myself too." She smiled. If there was one person that she liked the most, that would be herself. 

"" Long Yi swallowed all the resentment that he had. He had never tried to woe a woman this abnormal. "My point is I would like to date you."

"Oh?" She tilted her head then she nodded. "I would like to date myself too." If she were Long Yi, she would like Lyca too. After all, she was too cool and beautiful. She giggled inwardly at her own thoughts before she turned serious. "Thank you, Mr. Long. Let's keep our relationship professional."

"" What professional? What does she mean by that? Long Yi felt helpless. Embarrassment and anger swirled in his orbs, but he quickly forced it inside him. This was the first time that he actually confessed to someone, and ask them for a date. And Lyca just rejected him like that? Long Yi gritted his teeth. "Listen Lyca" He said, his voice turned serious as the slight smile on his face disappeared. "I am not someone that would give up just like that. You can keep acting like a fool, but I know you are aware of the engagement." He watched as Lyca lazily stared at him. He could help but wonder if she was listening to his words or was thinking of something else.

He continued. "I will talk to your grandfather and tell why he should agree to make the Huang Family and Long Family connected by marriage. Our families had been in a misunderstanding for so long. It is time that both of our families make Long City more prosperous."

"You're threatening me." She stated. Who cares about Long City? Who cares about making Long City prosperous? If she wanted to make a city better, she would have chosen to dabble in politics. What she hated was the fact that this Long Yi really dared to involve their families. She hated the hassle.

"That's not a threat. That's a promise."

Lyca just stared at him and said nothing. So the man's ego was bruised and he ended up threatening her. Next, this man would surely resort to violence. Poor Huang Xiaoxuan. "Mr. Long " Lyca beamed. "You should watch your back."

"" Unable to make sense of Lyca's words, Long Yi squinted his eyes at her. He knew that Lyca was threatening him, but for some reason, he could feel that something else was hidden behind her words. Something complicated.

Lyca fought the urge to roll his eyes and started staring at the stall instead. Watch your back was so simple. She was planning to stab him in the back literally. Was that something so complicated to understand? This man just attempted to r*pe her. Did he think she was a very forgiving woman?

Lyca was literally planning to stab him just after she moved to the student council building. She was planning to teach him a lesson and was even deliberating of she would cut his manhood or not.

Long Yi, on the other hand, was thinking why would Lyca warn him and tell him to watch his back. He couldn't help but wonder if the Huang Family have spies planted around him and his company. Well that should be normal. But why would Lyca warn him? Was it possible that they are planning something big?
