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

”No problem,” She said before a smirk formed on the side of her lips.

He looked at her as she smiled on him while her curled hair was put on the other side. Just this view made his heart go crazy as his eyes were deceiving him!

'Why does she looked as if she was flirting back? Ugghh! I need my eyes checked!' Unbeknownst to Lexi, her date's mind was momentarily in haywire as his heart raced by her sudden 'coquettish' eyes.

He blinked and blinked several times but her expression was still there! Her flirtatious smirked that was tempting him and whenever her lashes slowly fluttered, he just wanted to watch her looking at him like this!

”Hmm? Something wrong?” Slightly tilting her head on the side, Lexi's tone wasn't as dry like she normally sounded but it was rather… playful; as if she knew his sudden dilemma.

'Uh… is this what they call seduction?' His mind snapped as this thought hovered on his mind yet, the question was stuck on his throat and was gulped down when he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

”No, it was nothing, hehe” Instead of speaking his mind, Ethan Lu found an excused as he closed his fingers while their hands were intertwined.

”Sure, its nothing…” Shrugging, Lexi whispered her humor but she made it audible enough for him to hear.

'I'm busted! I'm busted!' He panicked inwardly. Fortunately, his riotous feelings caused by her sudden change didn't take much effect on the surface… or at least to others but not to her.

”Let's start our date, love~!” After clearing his throat, Ethan Lu announced as he started to drive away from the yang mansion.

*****

Hours passed by and still, they haven't arrived at whatever 'romantic' place he kept bragging about throughout their journey.

”Where are you taking me? Don't tell me you're actually kidnapping me on a pretense of a date?” Arching her brows, Lexi didn't mind when they went out of the city as it was normal; at least for her as she liked places that were established outside the city.

However, it's been three hours since they left the yang mansion yet, Lexi was left with zero clues on where he was taking her.

Meanwhile, Ethan Lu would let go of her hand from time to time and would immediately go back to her as if it was an automatic program. Hearing her suspicious inquiry, he chuckled and teased.

”Hehe, well, we're eloping.” Fortunately, Lexi didn't attack her with whatever magic she got on her sleeves hence, he could finally relax a little.

”Really now?” Rolling her eyes, Lexi attempted to pull her hand away from him but his grip gently tightened.

”Kidding, love. Well, you'll see-- we're almost there.” He winked at her before a mischievous smile formed on the side of his lips.

”Fine,” Sighing in defeat, Lexi didn't probe further as she knew it was hopeless. Also, she decided to use her naughtiness when he wasn't driving -- afraid that his fragile heart couldn't handle it.

Just like he said, soon, perhaps 30 minutes after, Lexi and Ethan finally arrived at the shore near a small town.

The autumn wind harshly blew past her yet, the uninhabited, cleaned area matched with the unpolluted air made her relaxed for a bit.

Despite the good area he chose, however, Lexi was puzzled as there wasn't a satisfactory place nor there's a restaurant near the area. If one thing that this place lacks was that, it wasn't known for tourists—even to her who grew up in a big city and abroad!

”So, this is where we...” Slowly nodding and scanning the area for some secret shop that was probably just around the corner, Lexi's gaze stopped as she spotted a yacht approaching.

”Yup, there is our romantic destination.” Seeing that his yacht was slowly approaching the shore, Ethan Lu turned to face her as he took off his scarf and tenderly wrapped it around her neck. He added without thinking of the words that would come out from his mouth.

”You're so gorgeous… stop seducing me, else I won't keep my mind sane.”
