Chapter 153 Hey heart, tone it down! (2/2)

Hence, what she sees now, maybe there's not much of a big difference from before but Lexi must admit that the scene before her was pure genuineness and peacefulness. It was as if Ethan Lu was her mother's own child and even if Lexi wasn't there, he'd still stay longer and continue to accompany Lillian Yang.

After several good minutes, Lexi decided to approach the two with a subtle smile. ”Mom,” she greeted and hugged her mom from behind the sofa. Her sudden sweetness made Lillian Yang chuckled as her hand gently rubbed on Lexi's arm that was lightly wrapped around her neck.

”You're late, Ethan had been waiting for you since earlier.” Lillian Yang softly reprimanded, but, by the sound of it, her voice doesn't sound near angry or disappointed.

”Hmm, I slept late and woke up late… I'm sure, Ethan doesn't mind -- just look at him.” Lexi murmured as she reasoned out with her mom. She then unhurriedly retracted her arms away from her as Lexi straightened her posture. Glancing at the dashing man sitting across her mother, Lexi could not help but heavily sigh.

Currently, Ethan Lu was smiling as he sat properly. The thing is, his mouth was stuffed with egg tarts hence, his puffed cheeks. He looked half cute and half weird at the same time that made Lexi feel conflicted.

'Is this the guy I should open up my heart with?' She asked inwardly as the corner of her brows twitched.

Actually, Lexi was quite confused about the real Ethan Lu. Every time she was with him, he always changes his personality too quickly that Lexi couldn't keep up with it and could not discern which was real and which wasn't.

”Well, as I said, why won't you just ask him~?” Churu bluntly responded as she already sat on Ethan Lu's broad shoulder.

Glancing at the cute madam sitting on the mischievous kind of modern prince's shoulder, Lexi pursed her lips into a thin line as her thoughts were suddenly distracted and was changed into: ”I should have bought her wig as well.”

”Yes, I don't mind waiting for her, Mom.” Ethan Lu grinned widely after gulping down the egg tarts with great effort. Glancing at Lexi, his eyes discreetly traveled from her head to toe that made him immediately looked away and turned his shocked expression to Mother Yang. Of course, his sudden change of expression puzzled Lillian Yang that made her brows marginally raised.

”Uh…” Scratching his right cheek, Ethan Lu pondered whether to say what bugged him or... was it a bad idea for him to say? Gazing at Lillian Yang, Ethan Lu awkwardly laughed and found an excuse, ”Ha ha! It was nothing, Mom! I just had a mini heart attack after thinking where I placed my keys. Ha ha ha!”

”Ohh... ” Nodding in understanding, Lillian Yang chuckled along with his awkward laughs. Unbeknownst to him, Lillian Yang already guessed whatever he has in mind and she found it rather sweet.

When Lexi sat beside her, Lillian Yang spoke with a comforting smile, ”I guessed you'll be having your lunch outside?”

”Hmmm,” Lexi answered in a hummed as she leaned her back against the sofa and placed her left leg over the other, revealing more of her skin.

This slight exposure made Ethan Lu's sneaky eyes looked away almost immediately as he incessantly tapped his fingers on his lap. He was very tempted to cover the little exposed skin she was revealing but in front of Lillian Yang, Ethan Lu wouldn't want to sound rude or anything of the sort. After all, this was their house and he could not do just anything he pleased even though he was almost doing it anyway.

'Hey heart, keep tone it down!' He grumbled inwardly.

”Fun Fact~!!” Just then, Churu shouted as she stood on Ethan's shoulder with her right hand raised.

'Oh, please… enough with your fun fact.' Rolling her eyes inwardly, Lexi shook her head and turned to see Ethan that was oddly looking on his right—but there's nothing there.

”Mr. Main task sees your clothes as revealing!” Despite Lexi's nonchalance, Churu still ratted Ethan Lu out with a poker face. She added,

”His heart goes bathump bathump so loudly, I can hear it!”

'Revealing?' Lexi looked down on the little exposed skin between the hem of her dress and her over the knee black boots. Briefly squinting her eyes, Lexi's lips curled into a mischievous smirk. 'Is that so?'
