Lady Boss, Please Spoil Your Husband! Chapter 199
Advertisement
The two leapt from the ground and soared up the high walls. Agile as a cat, the two pulled their bodies on the wall's narrow surface, and landed on the grassed land without making any sound.
As the bosses of two of the most notorious organizations in the Underworld, Lillie and Ethan did not find jumping over a high wall and avoiding the securities and surveillance cameras, difficult.
Instead, it's a child's play to them.
Even to Ethan who had not been so active in that field for a very long time.
Nostalgia overcame Lillie as they walked around the hallways of their building. A lot has been changed and renovated as years passed, but the Headmaster still made sure to keep the building's style unchanging to make the old students feel a sense of familiarity.
"Here we are."
Because of the thought occupying her, Lillie didn't realized where Ethan was taking her.
Lillie raised her head and read the number on top of the door.
Class A-216
The room she and Ethan shared as classmates.
"This is..." Lillie drawled, her eyes glinted with an unfamiliar emotion. She still had no idea why Ethan would take her here of all places.
Perhaps he wanted to recover the lost times they should have had together?
A short flashback of the past played out in Lillie's mind.
She remembered everything. Every detail of that day.
Lillie was snapped out of her trance when she felt a gentle tug on her hand. Ethan walked in, his hand intertwined with hers so she had to follow.
The room was still the same, and the chairs were arranged in the same manner as theirs back then. The difference is that the room looked a bit move lively and followed today's modern style.
The number of chairs increased. Also, that flatscreen TV was not there before.

"Sit." Lillie quietly observe Ethan leading her towards a chair that was beside the window.
Her seat.
Ethan opened the window and let the cool breeze enter and the glow of the moon to fully illuminate the dark room. He then sat on the chair to her right. His hand then rose and propped his cheek on his palm, his eyes never leaving her.
Lillie didn't knew what came into her when she unconsciously reenacted the pose she did that day.
With her chin leaning on her palm, she said, "Hello."
Then, instead of uttering "hm" like he did years ago, Ethan replied, "Hey." With a sweet, charming smile that would make every women swoon.
Including Lillie, whose heart jumped.
"I'm Ethan Li." He added. "May I ask this lovely lady's name?"
"Lillie Bai." A heartwarming smile gracing her lips, going with his actions.
A boyish grin appeared on his face as if he had one a grand prize. "Would you like to have dinner with me later?"
"I would love to." Lillie answered in a heartbeat.
This is what should've happened that day. This is what the two of them hoped would've happened.
If Ethan had been more open with his feelings, Lillie wouldn't misunderstood him. And if Lillie didn't judged him impulsively, and should've had listened and stayed a bit longer, non of that rivalry and feud would happen.
If non of that happened, imagine how beautiful their lives are together?
Fortunately, the gods pitied these two and gave them another chance. The ugly past was rewritten. The heartache was changed into a boundless love and warmth.
"Home or out?"
"I think you already know my answer to that, Mr. Li." Lillie said with a meaningful look.
"Mrs. Li, I'm not sure what you're talking about?" Feigning oblivious, Ethan reached out for her hand.

Contact First
2039 - Earth A narrow beam energy signal appeared aimed squarely at earth from the TRAPPIST system. The communication consisted of a layered set of repeating data over several thousand wavelengths. Over the next few months scientists discovered that the lower wavelengths carried an encoded numerical language which could then be used to interpret the more complicated messages carried on the higher wavelengths. After half a year of painstaking work the signal was fully decoded. It described a small satellite launched along a precise trajectory towards the fourth planet of our solar system. Included was a package of advanced research that humanity would need to have ready in order to receive the satellite and decelerate it safely. The alien data provided the kick that humanity needed to turn from petty squabbling and unite to explore the final frontier. Major government and corporate leaders worked together to create the framework for the United Federation of Sol. UFS spaceports went from scaffolding to daily launches in every major city around the globe. Ships floated like dandelion seeds, spreading on solar wind to grow into colonies. 2397 - Mars orbit, Egeria Station The command center was a hive of activity as checks were conducted and systems initialized. Scientists flitted by like mayflies as communicators beeped and holoscreens spat out green tinted readouts. Nervous energy was thick in the air as everyone anticipated the culmination of over three hundred years of work. Massive fusion reactors under the planet's surface thrummed with barely restrained power as energy fed into a gleaming metallic maze criss crossing the planet. Metal fingers reached up, overshadowing the mighty olympus mons and trying to grab the stars. All over the solar system, people quickly turned to look as gigantic energy lances shot from the dusty fourth planet. Two years later. The same people that clapped loudly at the successful activation of project Hermes now wait with baited breath. A silver capsule trailing bright photonic sails is captured by a net of grav beams and guided with care bordering on reverence into the station. Holoscreens across the headquarters project an image of the sleek craft settling in the bay. Data connections are established and the holoscreens blink to white. Slowly an image forms on the screen. Across the headquarters people stare in wonder as a wholly alien face stares back. "Contact established. Welcome to the universe."
