While everyone was planning on how to get her in trouble while she was in the city, Lyca and Shen Qui were walking by the beach. The two were holding their shoes as they playfully kicked the sand. The soft breeze welcomed them.
The two didn't speak for a few minutes before Shen Qui received a call confirming that the target already arrived in Huang Li Duo's mansion.
"Alright, go for it." Shen Qui didn't bother to ask Lyca what to do next. He could read her like the back of his palm. "The fireworks will start soon."
Lyca nodded. She turned towards Shen Qui and gave him a gentle smile.
"What's wrong?" His gaze turned suspicious. Does she need anything? "You — You are not going to kill anyone, yes?"
"Of course, not." She gave a burst of light laughter. "What do you take me for?"
"A lawbreaker," he answered without batting an eyelid.
"I thought you're on my side?"
Shen Qui chuckled. "Alright, I was wrong. You are a sweet, gentle, and kind wife."
"Hmm. You learn quickly. It was already six in the evening. While this wasn't her first time watching the sunset with Shen Qui, this sunset is a bit meaningful to her. "Hey, I have a question."
"Hm?"
"Did you find it lonely? I mean before you met me?"
"Lonely? Hmmm… Not really. I spent Spring Festival visiting friends."
Lyca lowered her head. "What do you think of the Shen family?"
"Nothing. I am not one of them."
"Because you are a Xu?"
Shen Qui stared at her. "I am not a Xu either. I am nothing but your man. You are my only family."
Lyca elbowed him. "When did you learn to say those words? You are making me cringe."
He laughed and rested his arm on her shoulder. "After you take care of the Long Family, what are you planning to do?" For some reason, he could already guess her answer.
"Return some favors," Lyca smiled. "Settle some grievances then live a happy life."
The sound of the waves kissing the beach filled the air.
"Then, Xu Family?"
"Yes. I already promised you this."
"You don't have to do your promise." Shen Qui said and for a long time, Lyca didn't say anything.
"Why?"
"It's all good now." He eyed the setting sun. "Why do we need to go and provoke some people when we are already happy? We are together?"
"After what they did to your mother?"
"The past is the past. It's enough that I have you now." Shen Qui smiled, his gaze still glued to the sun. "Some people might call me a coward. But I don't want to lose myself in this pathway. If I stayed with the Xu Family, I probably won't meet you. If they didn't kick me and my mother out, then… I would have become one of them. Are you going to marry me if I am one of them?"
"Probably not," Lyca answered. "You might be handsome, but the trouble that comes along with the Xu Family is not worth it. I can just pay some other beautiful models to satisfy me and — aw! Did you just pinched me?"
"Your brain is really weird. Stop thinking about weird things." The conversation was pretty serious. How did it come to her paying models to sleep with her?
Lyca stroked her arm. "If I get a bruise, you will pay for it."
"I can only pay you with my body. I don't have anything else with me."
"Who's thinking about weird things now? Hm!?" Slowly, her face turned serious. "So you don't want to watch them burn?"
"So sadistic." He shook his head. "If we provoke them… who knows if we will end up dead? As I said, we are happy now. Why do we need to run around and have people want to kill us? You know… living like that is tiring."
"You actually have a point," she nodded. She is too lazy for that!
"I always have a point."
She laughed. "So after this… we are going to get married?"
"I thought we are already married?"
"I mean… me in a white dress, walking down the aisle while you cry?" Like the fairytale! She laughed at her own thoughts.
"You want me to cry?"
"Of course, you should cry for the camera. We could post it on social media and brag about it. Isn't that the trend today?"
"Stop watching dramas." He could only laugh. Cry? When she was sleeping, he was crying all the time! He no longer has tears to cry for the camera!

Huang Li Duo's Mansion
Long City
The atmosphere was still as thick and suffocating as ever. However, the argument already died down. Aside from the sound of the wall clock ticking, the room was wrapped with an uncomfortable silence.
"So… the fireworks just now."
"No one died!" Long Yi clenched his teeth. Just a few minutes ago, a two-minute firework interrupted them. They didn't know who lit some fireworks inside the lands surrounding the mansion. All they know was the smoke from the fireworks reached the mansion.
Everyone who actually inhaled the smoke fell asleep!
"Luckily, no one died." Huang Li Duo echoed his words. His face was dark.
"Then… shall we call the police and tell them about it? I'm sure it was that Lyca who did it! She is trying to show us that we are helpless against her!"
Long Yi gritted his teeth. After the fireworks, they finally understood why Lyca came here. She wanted Huang Li Duo to call everyone and gather them here. She wanted everyone to see how capable she was! "Calling the police would be useless. I would expect that they wouldn't be able to find any proof of the chemical that she used. She is crazy and clever. Moreover, people would surely laugh at us for being scared because of a mere firework."
"What about the servants who lost their consciousness?"
"They lost their consciousness for two minutes. Are we really going to tell the police about it?" Long Yi asked. "They didn't die. People would surely think we are making a fuss just to frame someone!"
