Lilith sat in front of the dining table, aggressively stabbing the ham and eggs on her plate with her knife and fork, like an abusive aggressor who wanted to hear the ham and eggs scream in agony.
Li Yexing knew that Lilith was throwing a tantrum.
"I don't want to do this either, but I have no choice, Lilith." Li Yexing explained to the sulking Lilith.
"Promised Christmas vacation, promised Christmas vacation, promised Christmas vacation..." Lilith kept muttering, making Li Yexing wonder if he was a heartless boss who exploited underage girls.
"It's not my choice to be in this situation. You have to understand that our client is a very difficult woman to deal with. She..." Lilith suddenly stopped her movements and looked up at Li Yexing with a vigilant expression.
"A woman?"
Li Yexing rubbed his forehead, thinking that Lilith's focus was strange.
"I only have a normal business relationship with her, and I have never met her before."
"Li Yexing knows a woman he hasn't met before, how impressive," Lilith, who was still throwing a tantrum, didn't listen to what he said and looked like she was having a hard time dealing with being betrayed.
That's how the whole morning went, and it wasn't until Li Yexing explained everything clearly that the situation finally calmed down.
"Why didn't Li Yexing wake up Lilith at that time?" Lilith, sitting on Li Yexing's lap and holding a game controller, asked. Although she already understood the situation, Lilith still looked unhappy.
"What's the point of waking you up?" Li Yexing, with his hands naturally wrapped around Lilith's body and also holding a game controller, asked.
"Lilith can kill that woman." Lilith said in an indifferent tone that sounded a bit scary, "That meddlesome woman, why not just kill her? If Li Yexing can't do it, let Lilith do it."
"For now, let's not talk about whether we can really take her down..." Li Yexing frowned and said, "I don't remember raising you to be a child who kills people at the slightest disagreement."
A long time ago, Li Yexing had noticed Lilith's problem. This child was born in a laboratory and then lived with him in the nest of villains in Roples. For this child, the only good thing she had ever experienced in her life might be Li Yexing himself. Therefore, everything else in the world besides Li Yexing seemed somewhat worthless and unimportant to her.
In short, Lilith has no reverence or respect for life.
At first, Li Yexing didn't pay much attention to this problem. After all, how can one survive in a place like Roples without a black heart and cruel hands? Therefore, Li Yexing tacitly agreed to some of Lilith's remarks and some of her actions in commissions until he confirmed that Lilith, like himself in this world, would gain a strong pleasure in killing.
Li Yexing felt that this was not good. Not to mention he was still being watched by Chris. His soul, originating from a previous life as an ordinary laborer guy, felt that if things continued like this, Lilith would eventually go astray.
"Lilith, listen..." Li Yexing said deliberately, "Sometimes, killing doesn't solve the problem."
"But it can solve the person who raises the problem," Lilith replied casually.
Looking at Li Yexing's confused face, Lilith said, "Isn't this what Li Yexing often says?"
Then Lilith's expression suddenly became dark and cruel, with a strange and stiff smile on her face. She raised her hands as if holding a gun.
"Killing may not solve the problem, but it can solve the person who raises it."
Lilith said in an affectionate tone. Then she returned to her expressionless look and turned to ask Li Yexing, "Does Lilith sound like she's learning well?"
Li Yexing was stunned.
'Is this how Lilith sees me?'
Perhaps Kelly was right. Lilith had only been with him for a few months, and she already seemed like she was going astray. If he didn't do something about it, Lilith might really become a mad dog in Roples like him.
With a helpless sigh, the road to education for Lilith was long and arduous.
Over the next few days, Li Yexing and Lilith carefully read through the files sent by Ada. The documents contained information about a luxury Mediterranean cruise ship, including its structure, onboard map, relevant information about social elites attending the party, and fake documents and invitations that may be needed for the upcoming journey. Ada's preparations were quite comprehensive.
The following journey was rather boring. The two contacted Argo and flew to Italy under his arrangement. They changed into their arranged clothes at a local safe house in Italy. Li Yexing wore a handsome black suit, while Lilith wore an expensive-looking white dress.
"High heels...are so hard to wear..." Lilith struggled to put on her high heels and twirled around lightly in place. Her dress and silky silver hair swayed gently in the golden sunlight shining through the room.
"Do I look good?" Lilith asked Li Yexing.
Li Yexing stared at Lilith and finally said, "Beautiful, not even a deity who descended to earth can compare to you."
"Hehe..." Lilith giggled foolishly.
The two waited quietly in the safe house until the phone rang.
"Are you ready? If you are, come downstairs," the voice on the other end of the phone said.
Li Yexing took Lilith down the stairs and saw a car parked downstairs that look so handsome and expensive, he had never seen a car like this before. A muscular middle-aged white driver poked his head out of the car window and looked at Li Yexing and Lilith, pointing his hand back to signal them to get in the car.
Li Yexing opened the car door and let Lilith go in first, then got in the car himself. With the engine starting, the car drove off.
"My job is to take you to the port, and if necessary, I will pick you up back on later," said the driver, Orlando, in front of the car. "You can call me Orlando, and I hope we have a happy cooperation."
"Happy cooperation," Li Yexing replied.
After driving for about ten minutes, the car finally got on the coastal road. Lilith couldn't help but lean against the car window, focusing on the blue and calm sea. This was the Mediterranean, and the coastal huts and roadside buildings were full of exotic charm that Li Yexing had never seen before.
"Don't look like a naive girl who has never seen the world. Remember, from now on, we are nobles," Li Yexing patted Lilith's shoulder and said, "We can have a good look around on the ship later."
"You're wrong. Only Lilith is noble. Li Yexing is only a noble's pretty boy," Lilith corrected when she heard Li Yexing's words.
Li Yexing: "..."
