Lazily Yours.

Chapter 407: She Was His Woman

"I suggest that you see him." Chu Nan stood outside of the lab, talking to the white box-like machine. This machine was supposed to act like a microphone that would connect him to Lyca. Until now, he couldn't say the name of the device. "Mr. Xu is here with Mr. Park. He is someone from Saka and is working in the ministry of defense. They are here because of the armor."

No answer.

But what did he expect?

"He won't stop until you decide to see him." He waited for a response. Chu Nan sighed. He was about to leave when the door of the lab suddenly open. Lyca walked out, wearing jeans and a black shirt. Her hair was tied back in a simple ponytail. "Finally."

"I'm hungry."

"What about Mr. Xu?"

"I don't know why he needed to see me. I'm sure he doesn't need my signature or something." Lately, she had been very busy with her experiments. "Where's Shen Qui?"

"He left before Su Jihan arrived."

"Then I will talk to Mr. Xu." Lyca said. "But first sandwich."

""

..

Lyca sat opposite Xu Jihan. And the latter met her gaze before awkwardly smiling at her.

"Miss Huang I'm so glad that you actually agree to see me today."

"Mr. Xu may I know if you have a job?" Lyca asked, her face serious.

"Of course. I work with the minister of defense, and Mr. Park here is also working with me. He is from Saka Region." As usual, the smile on Xu Jihan's face was there. It was beautiful too beautiful it would scare anyone.

"Ah, then do you still have a job?"

"Of course I do!"

"Oh." But this man was really idle. He was not busy at all! He was just running around and seeing people. He looked relax and happy too. Lyca couldn't help but wonder what kind of job this man does. Isn't it good to have this kind of job?

"Now Mr. Park here really wanted to see the armor. I hope you don't mind but "

"Mr. Xu I am sure you are aware that there is already a scheduled exhibit for these things." Lyca interrupted him. "Are you really here to see the armor? Or see me?"

"Cough cough." Xu Jihan quickly covered his mouth. He couldn't help but feel helpless around Lyca. In fact, most of the time, he doesn't know what to do or say to appease her. Moreover, she also had this feeling that Lyca doesn't like him.

He couldn't help but wonder why.

So far, Xu Jihan couldn't think of anything else that would acquire Lyca's wrath. In fact, he even tried to earn her favor by helping her out with the poisoning and Zhang Family.

"In fact" Mr. Park, who was keeping his silence until now, spoke. His voice was stern with a tinge of fatherly warmth. It reminded Lyca of her grandfather's tone. Judging from the old man's looks, he should be in his late fifties or early sixties. He is tall and bald. A few wrinkles can be seen on his forehead. "I was the one who asked him to take me here."

"Oh."

"I already tried to schedule a dinner with Mr. Shen, but he was busy. Watching the video made me excited, so I begged him to take me to see you." Mr. Park explained. His phoenix eyes were glued towards Lyca's face.

"I see" Lyca said. "I don't have any control in any of these things." She had control, but that would make her work more. She isn't paid to be these people's tour guide. So, no. It's better to sit and stare at a blank space than waste her energy for nothing.

Not even a penny.

"Is that so?" Mr. Park asked, the glimmer in his eyes died down. It was something that surprised Lyca. She observed the older man's expression. "That That is unfortunate."

"Hmmm." Lyca nodded. "If you want to see it, then please give Mr. Shen a call. He is the CEO and is in charge of stuff like this." At the end of the day, the actual fact is that Lyca is not very good at business. She doesn't like negotiations and small talks.

After a few more minutes, the two of them bid her goodbye and left as Chu Nan escorted them out of the house. Even when Lyca already agreed to see them, she didn't allow them to go inside her underground space. She only let them get inside the house and offered some tea which the two refused to touch.

"I wonder if Mr. Xu will ever learn that talking to you would be useless," Chu Nan said. He sat opposite Lyca, who was still in the living room of the house. "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing," Lyca said. Or at least she couldn't say it yet. Her mind took her back to Mr. Park's gaze. It was warm and gentle and weird. Lyca was sure that she wasn't hallucinating. "Let's go inside. Instruct our people not to let them in again."

"Not even at the gates?"

"Yes." Lyca nodded.

Meanwhile, Xu Jihan and Mr. Park's car were already outside of the gates when someone spoke.

"So? Was it her?" Xu Jihan asked the older man. "Was she the woman that you met at the mountains?"

Mr. Park didn't say anything. Instead, his hand slowly adjusted the skin mask that covered his face, making sure that his wrinkles aligned. "No." The voice that came out from Mr. Park was obviously younger this time. It was different from when he was talking to Lyca earlier. "It wasn't her."

"Are you sure?"

"Hmmm. It was dark, and I didn't see her face clearly, but her voice was different."

Xu Jihan sighed. "After searching for months, she's the only woman that I found near the mountains that time. She was having her honeymoon with Shen Qui."

"Hmmm." Mr. Park nodded. "She's not the one."

"You seemed too sure? The altitude and cold might have changed her voice."

"She's married."

"Huh?" Xu Jihan stared at Mr. Park, confused. "What are you talking about?"

However, the latter just responded with a shrugged, a sign that he doesn't want to talk about it anymore. That woman that he met in the cave was definitely the woman that he was looking for. She was his woman. And he was sure that she wouldn't just marry someone else.

Why? You asked?

Because she loved him. She loved him with all her heart.

There is no way that she would agree to marry another man!
