Chapter 147 Shes mine, so, f*ck off (1/2)

Lexi immediately turned her head behind her and there, Ethan Lu's bright and dashing front welcomed her. For some unknown reason, she felt relieved seeing him appear out of nowhere. However, the next second, her brows arched upon realizing his statements.

On the other hand, Elliot Gong's jaw nearly dropped to the concrete ground seeing Ethan. What's more? He audaciously held her hand and still holding it! Moreover, did he just addressed her as 'Love'?!

”Hmm? Did he threaten you or something?” Ignoring her questioning gaze and her arched brows, Ethan Lu narrowed his eyes as he glared at his friend who was evidently shocked.

”Do you think I am that kind of person who can be threatened by just anyone?” Rolling her eyes, Lexi uttered apathetically.

”Hehe, of course not!” Shifting his deadly gaze to a merry one when he looked back at her inexpressive front, Ethan Lu grinned as he pressed his palm against hers out of excitement.

When Ethan pressed his palm against hers, Lexi glanced down to the relaxed hand clinging on her before she shifted her gaze back Ethan Lu's smiling eyes, she uttered, ”Let go,”

”Ihh, don't wanna.” Frowning, Ethan Lu lightly stumped his feet like a little kid about to throw a tantrum. ”I missed you and --”

”Hold on!” Before Ethan Lu could finish his sentence, he was interrupted with the startling voice of Elliot Gong that made the two turned their heads to his direction. He resumed after catching their attention.

”You, both of you know each other?!” Elliot Gong then darted his gaze from Lexi to Ethan before it traveled down to their connected hands which made him blink countless times. He wanted to confirm that his eyes weren't deceiving him but to his surprise, they were indeed holding hands and Lexi didn't slap him just like what she usually does before with other guys!

”Isn't obvious?” Tilting his head on the side, Ethan Lu answered in a matter of factly tone. Slightly raising his chin, he instigated, ”By the way, are you kidnapping my heart?”

”Don't jump into conclusion, but, why are you here?” Raising her brows, Lexi spoke before Elliot Gong could even defend his innocence.

Upon hearing her question, Ethan Lu awkwardly laughed as he instantly brainstormed to come up with an understandable reason. At first, he never planned to show himself to her and would just make sure that she was fine. However, how could he stay still after seeing that she was about to ride Elliot Gong's car?

If it was just a simple meal, he could refrain from doing anything as he could consider that Lexi was just having a meal with her colleague. But, riding on a man's car and guessing that he'd drive her home, that's a different case! After all, it would be a long drive and Lexi would have to spend hours alone with Elliot Gong!

It was not that he didn't trust Lexi but for god sake, he knew his friend's antics the very reason why he must stop this ridiculous charade of his!

Ethan Lu heavily sighed as he could not come up to a reasonable excuse, ”Is missing you a reasonable excuse?” He then raised the hands that were holding hers and placed the back of her hand on his right cheek. His eyes were gentle which made her gulped.
