Chapter 154 Stop seducing me, else... (1/2)

Since Ethan Lu focused his attention on Lillian Yang, his mind that was filled with Lexi-so-provoking-and-so-beautiful was successfully put down. After a quick contemplation, the thought of leaving Lillian Yang to eat her lunch alone, he felt sad for his own future son-in-law reasoning.

He knew that she was rooting for their date, however, it wouldn't hurt for the both of them if they accompany her for another hour right? Hence, he suggested that their first stop for their date was to eat lunch with Lillian Yang. Nothing new, but, it was still touching for mother yang.

”No Ethan, it's fine… This day was supposed--” Moved, Lillian Yang smiled gently. However, just as she was about to reject his suggestion, Lexi halted her by placing her hand on hers.

”Mom, I agree with him. I also wanted to eat before going out.” For some reason, Lexi felt moved that he was considering her parents and willing to sacrifice another hour of spending time with her alone.

”Plus 10 points for Mr. Main task~!” On the other hand, Churu slowly clapped her hands as she declared openly.

”You kids…” Darting her gaze from her daughter to Ethan Lu's grinning face, Lillian Yang faintly sighed as she slightly shook her head.

The meal ended as peaceful as always. Of course, the one that was very moved by this simple gesture was Lillian Yang as she got her daughter and future son-in-law's company.

Lexi and Ethan Lu stared at each other as they examined their outfits. Lexi had a surprised expression with her brows arched while Ethan Lu was grinning from ear to ear.

”Is this destiny?” He teased.

Currently, Lexi's army green, lapel collar trench coat that was over her short black dress almost looked the same as his. She matched it with over the knee black boots and a black handbag. Since she was unsure about his plans for the day, Lexi chose to look casual and elegant at the same time—so she could blend in with wherever place he'd bring her.

On the other hand, Ethan Lu was wearing a navy blue pullover that lay over his dress shirt and only revealed his collar and tie. He had a gray scarf clung across his nape and the ends rest on his front. His white sneakers and army green coat induced his personality.

Overall, their outfits coordinate with each other.

”Matching outfi--” Churu was about to dawdle her humor but before she could continue, Lexi hissed.

'Shut up, you forever third wheel.'

”Hmph! Baaad Lexi, bad!!” Dismayed, Churu sticks her tongue out and flew towards the car's back seat. Well, it was their date after all and Churu already decided to go sightseeing while the two enjoy each other on their first official date; lessening her presence as she said.

”Tell me, you didn't ask… uh, nevermind, let's go.” Lexi arched her brows and speculated that Ethan Lu asked her mom about her outfit but recalling that she just decided on what to wear earlier, she stopped and threw her irrelevant question to the back of her mind.

”Wait, let me open the door for you,” Skipping his steps, Ethan smoothly opened the passenger seat for her like a gentleman with a smile on his lips.

Slightly raising her fleek brows, Lexi said, ”thanks…” before she entered his car.

She watched Ethan jogged over the other side and from her point of view, Ethan's aura was bright but at the same time, there's something in him that she often noticed but until now, she could not explain what it is.

When he entered and settled in the driver's seat, Ethan Lu glanced at her inexpressive front down to the seatbelt. Seeing that she did buckle up this time, he smiled before he inquired.

”Ready for our date?”

”Hmm,” Biting her lower lip, Lexi hummed with a slight nod that made Ethan Lu smiled even more. He started his car engine and before he could start driving, he laid his hand opened near her side.

”What?” Arching her brows as she moved her gaze to him, she saw him briefly raised his brows as his eyes smiled.

”Let's hold hands.” Without a second hesitation, he requested while his fingers slightly waved as if waiting for her to fill the gaps in between his fingers. Seeing that she wasn't moving, he persuaded;

”Love, let's play --” However, before he could finish his sentence, Lexi slid her hands onto his. This treat obviously startled him as he didn't expect her to agree without giving her a good reason.
