Chapter 125 From wanting to kiss you (1/2)

Ethan vacantly stared at her unwavering gaze. He blinked numerous times as he tried to have a full comprehension of what she said.

'Did -- did I hear her right?' For a moment, Ethan's mind went blank and only her words kept ringing in his head. His eyes traveled across her beautiful facial features with inexplicable emotions circling inside his heart.

”But, let me get this straight. Right now, I don't like you… well, what I meant is that I only like you as a friend. So, don't ever think that this will gonna be easy. I swear to God Ethan Lu…” Lexi cleared her throat and started prattling about her conditions and warnings. However, Ethan Lu could hardly focus on her words albeit got the gist of it.

Arching her brows, Lexi crossed her arms around her upper abdomen. She instigated, ”...are you listening?”

”Uh, yeah.” Ethan Lu vigorously nodded yet, by the looks of it, his mind was still wandering somewhere else.

”Yeah? Doesn't seem like it.” Lexi slightly shook her head and rolled her eyes.

”Uh, sorry. I am trying to distract myself.” Snapping from his stupor, Ethan Lu grinned that showed his even white teeth as if he finally figured it out Lexi's words.

”Distract yourself? From?” Knitting her brows in confusion, Lexi probed as she was somewhat intrigued by how chaotic his mind right now.

”From wanting to kiss you.” Without batting an eye, Ethan Lu shamelessly declared that made her let out a series of light coughs.

”Do you really have to say that?” After some time, Lexi glared at his smiling and innocent countenance. He already told her everything, hence, couldn't he have a short break from his romantic advances?

”Of course! This guy needs to work hard for his future wife. I can't waste a chance to flirt with you.” Slightly tilting his head to the side, Ethan Lu winked as his expression marginally brightened.

Unlike his distress aura earlier, Lexi's response gave him a sliver of hope. God knows how happy he was right now. After his stay on the temple, Ethan Lu not only decided to date Lexi but also, had the intention of marrying her.

In his perspective, he could not bear these emotions towards others. Therefore, Ethan was earnest to pursue his love interest.

While Lexi was looking at him with a little bit of disdain, Ethan chuckled as he somehow guessed what she was thinking. He glanced over at her behind and nodded seeing one of the staff entered the second floor of the establishment.

The young staff was carrying two bouquets of flowers which he placed on the table beside them. Without a word, he courtly bowed his head and left the two VIP guests.

”Great!” Ethan Lu clasped his hand together as he walked towards the two different bouquets of flowers. He meekly smiled as he picked the two sets of flowers. On the other hand, Lexi followed his figure and altered her gaze on Ethan and the two bouquets of flowers in his hand.

One of the flowers was a pink blush bouquet of alstroemeria that was gorgeous and impressive. While the other one is a colorful arrangement of white and red roses that was shaped into a heart.
