Lady Boss, Please Spoil Your Husband! Chapter 167
Advertisement
After breakfast, Lillie and Ethan came to the study room.
"This is the perfect time to talk, Ethan." She started. "What happened?"
Knowing that there's nothing else he can do to hide it, Ethan answered honestly.
"Wei Fang happened." He began. "He came to the company yesterday, holding an information even I think neither you knew about."
Something she doesn't know yet Wei Fang does?
"What was it?"
Ethan hesitated. He didn't want Lillie to relieve that awful day.
Opening his hands, he reached out for hers. "It's about that day...."
Lillie's brows furrowed in puzzlement.
Which day?
Seeing that she was confused, Ethan continued. "That incident from ten years ago....he said it was someone else who's behind it."
Ethan felt her hands trembled. He wasn't sure if it's from shock or anger.
Maybe both.
But that dark and icy expression on her meant that there will be an unsightly end to those who receives it.
"Did he now..." Her voice was menacing.
Ethan had only seen the calm and composed side of Lillie. Much like his reaction back at HL Corp, Lillie had a thunderous expression that promised destruction.
Her hands clenched his, as if asking for some solace—which Ethan gladly gave by kissing her hands and caressing them with his thumb.
"That Wei Fang....was there something 'unusual' going around him when he was talking to you?" Now that she mentioned it, there was something.
He wondered how Lillie knew about that.
"There was." Nodding, he narrated, "I've known him since we were young. He and his father used to visit Hong Long to curry favor with my father and I."
"Even though I tried to ignore him, with his boisterous behavior, he's hard to ignore." He grumbled slightly, remembering a bad memory.

"And when we saw him at Sapphire Blues, he didn't seemed to change. However, yesterday...it's as if he's a completely different person."
Lillie listened to Ethan earnestly. She hummed, her mind in deep thought.
"Did you perhaps...concluded something after that?"
Ethan nodded once more. "His sudden change matched this particular condition."
From his poor memory, to his sudden change of personality. Way back to their middle school years, Lillie knew that Wei Fang had a poor memory. He would often forget their conversation with one another and what they did on a particular day.
Also, he would call her either Thea or Dora.
The Wei Fang who calls her Dora was the cheerful and loud one. And the other one who would call her Thea was quite strange.
He would just smile and stare at her intently.
Also his eyes...there was something strange about them.
Lillie had noticed his strangeness but did not think too much due to her young and foolish mind.
Now that the matter had resurfaced, there's no denying it.
"Multiple personality disorder." She concluded.
"I've ordered some my spies to monitor him. However, there was nothing interesting going around." After the car chase with Azure Tortoise and She Gu's men, everyone from the restaurant was checked and observed. From the guests to the staffs.
Since Wei Fang was inside that restaurant, he did not avoided surveillance from her people. Especially since he was having dinner with Azure Tortoise herself, Ming Ting, and her father.
"It's either he's one slippery worm, or that he's innocent. However, the latter no longer apply since he drew himself out with that information." Lillie rubbed Storm's head—who stubbornly still refuses to leave her mistress' side.
"No one, besides my parents, master, Senior brother, and now you, knew of that incident." Lillie stared directly into his eyes, her cerulean blue eyes slowly changed into ruby red.
"It will take someone of capabilities only belonging in the Underworld to know of such confidentiality." Her eyes narrowed before changing back to their original color.
"You're saying that...he's a Demon?"
Lillie nodded. "What I'm wondering is why would he be telling anyone, especially you, any of this. It's as is he's—" She paused, her face evidently darkened.
"He's being suspicious."

The Dweeb Prince and the Eight Cursed Princesses
Prince, despite his name, was more of a dweeb high school student, who often spends his free time reading instead of socializing. One day, he discovered a secret section of the library, and in it was a mysterious book.Then, his careless action of opening it unleashed eight curses of the different princesses living in the book. Those curse will jinx his fellow female schoolmates so each of them would suffer a tragic end.But hope remains, in the form of a fairy called Pixie. Together, Prince and Pixie will track down each individual possessed by the curse and guide them to their story's happy conclusions instead of the tragic ones. With that, Prince will have to deal with classic fairy tales such as Snow White, Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, and others in a modern setting. Note: The 'HAREM' tag doesn't mean that the MC will explicitly enter a polygamous relationship with multiple girls. The tag was added because this story involves encountering and dealing with different girls without entering the dating relationship. So yeah, this is more like the harem tag in anime rather than the harem tag explained here in RR. Releases a chapter every Sunday.

Reborn Into My Novel
What if you lived in the world of your own creation? As fate would have it, our dear amateur novelist, Ellie, was reborn into the world of her fantasy novel after falling asleep at her computer. Bewildered as she was, the first person that she met was the protagonist of her novel. To add salt to the wound, it was right before the tragedy that decimated his village as per his backstory. Will Ellie save the village (and herself) to risk changing the fundamentals of her novel? Will she instead let the story run its course and leave everyone in the village to their deaths? Disclaimer: This novel is a work in progress and will be updated hopefully at least once a week. Expect minor mistakes (maybe some typos and punctuation errors) since this is the very first draft. The author suffers from perfectionism and impostor syndrome and therefore attempts to use this as sort of a therapy to break away from perfectionism and self doubt. Basically, the author employs a “I don’t care anymore and screw this trash work” mindset just to get stuff rolling and not set any expectations. Basically, basically, the author just wants to write something and not care about planning and quality and all those nice things about writing a GOOD novel since it’s counterproductive. Kthxbye. ps: Thanks for even reading this trash work pps: You’re not trash for reading this trash work btw ppps: Thanks I love y’all so much Shout out!
