Chapter 34: Coming Back Home

Lillie's health has completely recovered and now they're ready go back to Country K.

"Is the game ready?" Lillie asked as she putted on a red blazer over a white turtleneck top.

"Yep! The bugs were fixed and the system's fully developed. The game's ready as soon as you hit the 'go' signal." Haruka playfully winked and raised her thumb.

Lillie nodded, satisfied by the outcome of their hard work.

Storm stood beside Lillie the whole time with an anticipated look. He was excited to go back home with his Mistress and reunite with the Bai family.

The young master would probably be the most trilled to see him again. Storm knew him when he's just a toddler.

Haruka half-heartedly smile when she saw how happy Storm was.

She was reluctant to part with him but cannot do anything about it as he belongs to Lillie in the first place.

Storm noticed Haruka's sad expression. Casually walking towards her, he placed his large paw on her foot.

Haruka had question marks appearing on her head. She kneeled down to his level and asked, "What's wrong, Storm?"

And suddenly, Storm opened his mouth and gave her a lick on the face before going back to Lillie's side once again.

Haruka's eyes widen, her cheek was covered with saliva but didn't mind it.

Storm licked her! In human language, it means he kissed her! Oh no, should she pray for the gods or something?!

Did Storm caught Lillie's cold?!

"S-storm...are you alright? Did you caught Lillie's cold?"

Storm gave her a 'what the heck are you spouting, human?' look.

"That was Storm's way of saying thank you. Since you had taken good care of him and helped him recover." Lillie eyes soften and patted Storm's head.

Storm closed his eyes happily wagged his tail, glad to receive his Mistress' affections.

Haruka sniffled and dramatically rubbed her eyes with the sleeve of her shirt. "Huhuhu! Storm-kun, I'll miss you!"

Storm rolled his eyes. This human is such a drama Queen.

Ethan came down stairs, behind him were the servants carrying their belongings.

"I called the airport and asked for a private plane, since Storm is coming with us." Ethan emphasized Storm's name in annoyance.

How can you know that you wouldn't like someone immediately at first glance?

Well, Ethan and Storm just did that. They like one woman and is very possessive of her.

They clearly hit it off as 'love rivals'.

If someone examine them very carefully, you can see lightning coming out of their eyes.

After the servants had placed the luggages on the car's trunk, Haruka's driver drove them back to the airport while Haruka would go back to the company and give the game another round of check ups.

Because of the leaked photo of Ethan going out of the airport with a lady in tow, a few Chinese paparazzis flew from County K just to watch out for the 'couple'.

And without a doubt, a paparazzi noticed a black Mercedes stopping in front.

That car looks like the pick-up car on the photo. The paparazzis prepared their camera and focused it at the car's door.

The driver came out and opened the door. Grumbling in disappointment, the paparazzis retreated their cameras when an old woman came out.

As their minds were being occupied by the thought of the wrong person, they failed to notice a red car passing by and entering the Airport's VIP gate. The car drove to the runway, where a private plane awaits their arrival.

The aircrew formed a line a watched as the car stopped in front of them. Ethan and Lillie came out and were warmly greeted by the crew.

When Storm came down from the car, he left quite the impression towards the crew, especially the female attendants.

Some screamed in fear while some almost fainted.

Who would not be jumping from fright when seeing a massive black wolf suddenly standing just a few feet away from you?

When the driver pulled out the luggages, the attendants cautiously and slowly went to his side to get them.

The Captain shook his head and sighed towards his crew. They were already informed by the heads that there will be a huge wolf flying with them.

They were reminded to act professional and calm. However, it seems it went through deaf ears as soon as they saw Storm.

The Captain apologized for their behavior.

"I apologize for their lack of professionalism, Mr and Mrs Li." He bowed.

...Mrs Li?

Lillie raised her brow in confusion before glancing at Ethan, who quickly avoided her gaze.

Mrs Li...huh.
