Chapter 155 First official date (1/2)

Lexi slightly gulped seeing him smile a little as he bit his lower lip. In retrospect, Ethan Lu always acted comedic and well, charming—add the drama king on the side. Hence, Lexi found it hard to see him in an extremely serious way. Even back when he was being a jerk and always let his playboy persona hit on her every once in a while, it only annoyed her to some degree.

Still, right now, in somewhat someways, Ethan Lu seemed and sounded manly. It was as if his compliment was a warning for her or else, he might really lose his sanity. Moreover, where did his confidence coming from? She still has many tricks on her sleeve to pull to tease him yet, he was saying something like this that actually made her a bit cautious.

Despite that, Lexi wanted to try and get her the answers she wanted -- for her and maybe, for this quite complicated relationship between them.

”Aren't we on a date? This is how I date.” Curling her lips upward, Lexi thrust her chin forward and met his soft pair of eyes.

[”Oh ho, you only dated one man~” Churu who was keeping her distance from the two humored. She was far away from them and Lexi couldn't hear her teasing. Regardless, what's important was Churu could hear her even from miles away and keep herself updated with the current happenings.]

”Oh?” Leaning his head a little forward, Ethan Lu was now safe from her taunting as he wasn't driving nor he was about to drive. So, he could play whatever game she had in her mind. Furthermore, he completely liked it as he felt he could flirt with her and maybe, just maybe, he'll successfully gain more of her attention. He added,

”Then, please take care of me -- It's my first time...”

”Tss, liar.” Lexi rolled her eyes as she faintly scoffed at his obvious lie.

”I'm not. It's the first time I will go on a date with someone I'd want to marry.” Ethan Lu draws closer to her even more and whispered the rest of his sentence. His heated breath caressed her ear which made her take a step back and looked at him with surprise.

Seeing her reaction, Ethan Lu chuckled as he knew this stunt was a risk. However, he needed to do this as he knew she wouldn't stop 'seducing' him even if he told her so.

”Hehe,” He then winked at her and a grin plastered across his face—revealing his even white teeth.

Just then, the yacht approached the shore and the person maneuvering it waved his hand to call the attention of the owner and his date.

”Mr. Lu!”

”Oh, it's here,” Ethan Lu turned his eyes to the direction of the person who was shouting his name while waving his hand. Holding her slender hands a little tighter, Ethan Lu glanced at her and seeing that she was snapped back from her daze, he started guiding her towards the 72-meter private luxury yacht.

”Young Master, sorry we are late.” The man scratched the back of his head as he bowed and apologized for their delay.

”Don't worry about it -- no biggie.” Ethan Lu casually waved his hand gesturing him that he didn't mind the short wait. The person smiled brightly as his boss never changed since his employment.

Ethan Lu then carefully assisted Lexi inside while she kept her silence. Looking around, Lexi must admit that she was in awe with this limited edition yacht. Of course, it wasn't the first time she rode in this kind of boat as she often attended parties in a much larger yacht. However, although she was surrounded by socialites, only a few of them personally owned one. This only showed the wealth of the Lu family acquiring such luxury or so she thought.

”You liked it? Well, I was also mesmerized the first time I saw it and had to spend all my savings to buy it.” Satisfied with her impression, Ethan Lu proudly tattled without reserved.

”Wait—you bought it?” Furrowing her brows, Lexi turned her head to see Ethan's proud smile. At first, she thought it was owned by the Lu family, but hearing him say he used up all his savings for it, Lexi didn't quite believe him.

”Hehe, don't tell others but I was broke for a year.” Sneakily whispering his secret, Ethan Lu recalled his 'broke days' that he always thought he'd sell this beautiful thing to get his money back. Fortunately, he found another opportunity to gamble the last penny he had and his money grew back again to maintain his lifestyle without going back to the Lu family affairs.

Lexi examined him for a while and seeing that he had a slight ugly expression as he reminisced, she raised her brows and was left with no choice but to believe him.

Ethan Lu toured her around with enthusiast. On the other hand, Lexi was attentive as she listened to his short misadventures when he acquired this yacht. He told her about the time he threw a party that was a total blast. Also, sometimes, his friends Chris and Kevin would rent his yacht for a night or two.
