Lady Boss, Please Spoil Your Husband! Chapter 179
Advertisement
"Are you sleepy?" Ethan asked her when noticing her eyes getting droopy.
"Not really. Just bored." She mumbled. The meeting ended early so the auction was still showcasing other valuable things.
It would take a while before the final item, Black Egg, will make its appearance.
"Nothing has caught your interest with the items?"
"Hmm...I find that raw imperial jade quite nice."
"You want it?"
"No...I have lots already." She nonchalantly said. Her father, Alexander Bai, would bring all kinds of rare stones for them as souvenirs when traveling to different countries. He would hand them raw to his wife for her to decide on the designs.
Mother Bai doesn't mind a few sets of jewelries with extremely pricy rare stones on them. And as her only daughter, Lillie was indulged with different sets of jewelries handcrafted by the Queen of Fashion, Agathe Crevier.
Her son, Gabriel, couldn't care less. What would he do with a pricy rare stone but sell it? With that, he could buy himself a game console, new headphones, some sneakers and some games from Escaping Reality.
Of course, Ethan didn't know that most of her jewelries came from her parents.
But Ethan knew that Lillie wasn't the kind of woman who would indulge herself with expensive jewelries.
So, where did these "I have lots" came from?
'Did other men try to give her jewelries too? My wife is too beautiful that I'm sure she had countless suitors.' He bitterly thought.
To have the guts to court the She-Devil, they must've come from a prominent background.
With that, Ethan was already swimming in vinegar.
I need to ask her later then. For now, I must focus with this mission.
Ethan shook his head to remove those blood-boiling thoughts.

He was about to immerse his attention back to the auction when Lillie's voice rang through his ears.
"Hey.."
"Hm?"
"What did the three of you discussed at the restaurant?" She asked, staring directly into his eyes.
"What do you mean?" Ethan feigned innocence.
"My eyes may seem to be on his, but my attention was on you." Was her blunt and honest response.
Ethan did not know why but this statement caused his ears to redden. "Is that so..."
"I saw Mo Kun's code. Did the three of you realized something about his hands?"
Ethan chuckled, "As expected, you knew everything before anyone else does."
"Well I had the advantage since I sat across him."
"For you that is. You have a pair of lovely, sharp eyes." He huskily whispered to her ear.
Lillie raised her head to meet his eyes. "Are you trying to seduce me again?"
Again?
"Why? Is it working?" He grinned.
A small smile curled on her lips. "Hm...I'll let you know later."
Again with the suspense! Wife, why can't you just directly tell me that you also feel what I feel right now!
*Cough*
"Hm? Something on your throat, Lei-er?"
"En. I think I just swallowed something nasty."
"Nasty you say? Was it the food?" She Gu then called for someone and pointed at the scrumptious meal on their table. "Ask someone to change this."
"Ah, father, it's not the food..." She Lei sheepishly said, rubbing the back of his head.
White Bird, ah! Why are you suddenly sending me dog food! And why the heck are you flirting with Silver Dragon! Don't you already have a fiancée?!
Some of the Elders were still unaware of Ethan's identify as Silver Dragon. The only ones who knew were Death and Elliot.

Elliot find out himself. He was already suspicious since Silver Dragon's appearance. Also, Lillie wasn't really hiding his identity.
If she were, no one can ever find out.
Whilst Death find out by connecting some dots. Besides, he knew that Ethan was the real Vermillion Dragon.
How could he forget a b*astard who would attack someone's behind so suddenly?
As for Tang He Jiu and Song Mo Kun, they do not know Ethan's other identity. They thought that Lillie was just showing her affection when she placed her most trusted ally to be her fiancée's weapons.
"If you don't want to listen, then turn off your earpiece." Lillie deadpanned, not even a bit flustered that they were caught being mushy.
*cough cough cough?!*
"Ah, Lei-er! What are you two standing there! Get your young master a glass of water!" They could hear She Gu's roar.
She Lei: Boss, ah. If you don't stop, a single dog like me would be forced to find someone! Please stop torturing me!

Lethal Combo (Weapon-Based Martial Arts Adventure)
Quang is a slacker that doesn't have much going for him except for his skills in Chinese kickboxing and his proficiency with a pair of nunchucks. Selene is broke but still manages to overestimate herself. The fact that she's knows Hapkido and how to handle a set of tonfas doesn't help either. Together, they're going to get into a lot of trouble. Just like everyone else in the sweltering West Coast city of Isla Lucrecia, Quang Nghiem is struggling to get by. His family’s business can’t make ends meet, his childhood friend has vanished without a trace and the self-imposed local “Union” threatens to tear down the family restaurant if they can’t pay their dues. Fortunately for him, part-time lifeguard and fellow out-of-practice martial artist Selene Olwagen has nothing better to do and is more than willing to help Quang track down his missing friend. However, there’s more lurking in the shadows of Isla Lucrecia than typical street gangs and criminals. Almost every chapter will have illustrations to accompany it. Heavily inspired by fighting games and classic martial arts films. Expect that kind of tone of going in. Updates twice a week, (mostly) on Wednesday and Saturday. Illustrations and covers were done by Ati: www.instagram.com/serious_ati/ Check out more art of Lethal Combo and my other projects here: www.instagram.com/fgc_checkmate/

Making of a Genius [A Progression LitRPG]
What does it take to climb to the top of the academic ladder? Lexus came face to face with his mediocrity the moment he arrived at Cambridge University to study computer science. There was a ceiling that he could not overcome, an intellectual world that was unreachable. But if you give a chicken an eagle's wings, it will fly higher than you could ever imagine. And that was exactly what happened to Lexus: with the help of a system, he could make it big. Schedule:1 chapter per week (every Friday evening at 5:30pm GMT). The weekly schedule is to allow time for research and factual accuracy where required. Author's Note: The story is about a computer science student at university, gradually improving and embarking on the path to become a world-renowned genius-level expert with the help of a system. There'll be a lot of studying and academics, but imagine being the best in your year. Easily. At that point, academics stops being stressful and starts being fun, doesn't it? The initial chapters are heavy on mathematical detail, but I don't expect anyone to actually read through them thoroughly. It's fine to skim them or even skip them, but I hope you try to get a sense of the progress being made, and feel happy for Lexus when something 'clicks' inside his brain :) As the story progresses, later chapters will go into less depth into individual questions, though I aim to remain consistent in terms of scientific accuracy/feasibility. Welcome, and I hope you enjoy the story!
