Chapter 149 Not you too, love. (1/2)

”So, you see -- ”

”Ay ay! Get off, we've arrived!” Before Elliot Gong could finish his another defamation towards Ethan Lu, he interrupted him midway through his gritted teeth.

Fortunately, Ethan Lu prioritized his driving as his beloved future wife was on board. Hence, he was extra mindful of his driving and didn't let his irritation control him. Still, he already planned how would he get his revenge in the future.

After all, Ethan Lu received several huge blows because Elliot Gong exposed his odd habits and embarrassing moments to Lexi.

On the other hand, Lexi kept on giggling as she listened to Elliot Gong's stories and how he tainted the 'clean' reputation of Ethan Lu. Regardless, she didn't find it disgusting rather, she found it hilarious and sees him in a new light. Whether Elliot Gong was purposely trying to break whatever connection she had with Ethan Lu, it was all for naught. To her, what's important is the present and not their past, right?

”Huh? For your information, me and Lexi should be on a DATE. Why did you drive me home?” Emphasizing the word 'date', Elliot Gong remained in his spot as he cast Ethan Lu a disdainful gaze.

”Date?! Oi, don't get silly thoughts -- it's a FRIENDLY date and it ends now.” Stressing the word 'friendly date', Ethan Lu turned his head on the back seat as he returned a disgusted look to his friend.

”It's fine, I think we had a great time.” Slightly shaking her head, Lexi reassured.

She didn't realize it until now that she became comfortable with Elliot Gong through out the course of their long drive. Perhaps, it was the fact that gossiping nonstop about Ethan Lu — Lexi and Elliot Gong had something to talk about.

Thinking that if only she and Elliot Gong's stick with their plan to drive her home alone, she was certain that the outcome wasn't as successful as this. Hence, before both friends start arguing, she stopped them.

”See?” With a triumphant smirk, Ethan Lu cast his friend the last mocking gaze before he repositioned on his seat. By then, Lexi used the opportunity to turn her head to see Elliot Gong's displeased expression.

”It was fun talking with you.” Lexi meekly smiled as she slightly nodded.

”I'm telling you this Lexi Yang as your colleague, be careful with that guy.” Giving her the last warning, Elliot Gong then exited the car with a dissatisfied expression plastered across his face.

He already did everything for her to be turned off with Ethan Lu but to no avail, she found rather it silly! Even when he said his friend couldn't even remember all the girls he had dated in the past, Lexi only chuckled in return.

Therefore, Elliot Gong was worried and disapproved about their set-up. It was not because he didn't want his friend to be happy but for god sake, Lexi had undergone traumatizing experience! What if Ethan Lu suddenly got tired and leave her? Not only he'd hurt her but Morris Liu would surely kill him!

Indeed, Elliot Gong was more concerned about their brotherhood being severed because of it. Knowing the admirable Morris Liu, even though he gave up on his feelings towards her, and decided to watch her from afar, still, he wouldn't let another man hurt her the same way he did; and Ethan Lu had the ability to do that!

”Tsk, This is a problem.” He murmured as he strode towards his villa.

When Elliot Gong left the car, Ethan Lu could finally heave a sigh of relief. ”Finally, that guy… how dare he slander me in front of you.”

”Slander? In my opinion, he was just telling the truth.” Chuckling, Lexi teased as she lightly shook her head.

”Uhh, not you too love!” Defeated, Ethan Lu softly slammed his forehead to the steering wheel while both his hands held onto it.

”It doesn't matter anyway…” Rolling her eyes by his action, Lexi murmured.

Fortunately, the inside of the car was silent enough so Ethan Lu clearly heard her last remarks. Stopping from what he was doing, Ethan Lu turned his sparkling eyes to his side.

”Really~?”

”It's not that I don't know about it anyway.” Nonchalantly shrugging her shoulders, Lexi turned her eyes away from him and look at the window.
