Chapter 157 Never have I ever (1/2)

Lexi and Ethan Lu stayed like that for god know how long. Despite that, the two of them didn't seem they were bothered as they relaxed with each other's embrace. After that, since the sunset was still there, they watched it with their hands intertwined.

Lexi was too focused on the magical view, she didn't notice the feather-like steps that entered the area and served a variety of dishes on the table. They even lit the candles with discretion before they wordlessly took their leave.

Of course, Ethan Lu sensed their presence the whole time and cast them a glance before shifting it to Lexi's beautiful side profile. In his honest opinion, looking at her was much more magical and phenomenal than what she was watching with mesmerized eyes.

'God… I love this woman,' While staring at her, a thought resurfaced once again in his mind and heart. Indeed, he was smitten with her to the core. To him, every day he wakes up, his love towards her was getting deeper and deeper. Thus, sometimes, he questions: 'How come I could love someone like this in a short span of time?'

Regardless, Ethan Lu knew to himself that his love wouldn't wane easily. He knew that these feelings he bore for her would be engraved to him until the end of his life. Hence, he was grateful and treasured every moment with her.

”Hmm?” Sensing his intent stare, Lexi's right brow arched before she slightly turned her head to see him. ”Any problem?”

”Nothing, nothing at all—hungry?” Smiling back, Ethan Lu mildly shook his head before he offered her to dinner.

”Now that you mentioned it, I think I am but--” Lexi contemplated for a millisecond and realized that her stomach started to protest.

However, if she remembered correctly, the table was still empty and she didn't hear anyone entered the area. Turning to see the supposed empty table, Lexi's brows knitted before she briefly chuckled seeing that the plates had now plate covers and the unlit candles were now lightened.

”But?”

”Sneaky,” Lexi shook her head. She already guessed what happened behind her; when she was too focused on appreciating the view that effectively reduced her stress and exhaustion from filming days ago.

”Well then, please.” Ethan Lu offered her an arm for her to hold on which Lexi didn't refuse even if they would only need to walk a couple of steps towards the table.

Reaching the romantic set up table, as expected, Ethan Lu pulled the chair for her to sit on.

”Thank you, Mr. Lu.” Slightly tilting her head on the side, Lexi perched on the seat as she always liked this treatment from him.

”My pleasure, Miss Yang.” Ethan Lu slightly bowed his head with a bright grin before he unhurriedly sat on the seat across her.

In the middle of their dinner, Lexi and Ethan Lu shared some untold stories they could never forget in the past to get to know each other better. They shared good laughs and would automatically tease each other when they found something weird with their action especially in their own childhood days; until they consumed everything without them noticing.

Drinking their own glass of wine, Ethan Lu grinned as he suggested. ”Hmm, why don't we play a game? The never have I never game.”

”Well… sure.” After sipping a meager amount of wine, Lexi slowly nodded her head as she placed the glass of wine on the table.

”Alright, hmmm… how we put our ten fingers up and --” Ethan pondered how was the game rules should be as he was afraid that he'd be tortured again if Lexi got drunk again. However, just as he was stating the rules, Lexi interrupted her midway.

”No, we drink—that's for babies.” She smirked and looked at him with interest as she had too many things in mind to defeat him.

”Uh, no…” Ethan Lu's eyes marginally gaped upon hearing her suggestions, but seeing her right brow slowly raised, he gulped a mouthful of saliva as he somehow saw a bad premonition coming his way by the way she looked at him.

”Did you say yes?”

Ethan Lu cleared his throat by a series of coughs before he hurriedly nodded, ”Yes, I said yes.”

”Good.” With that said note, Lexi smiled in satisfaction as she rested her jaw on the back of her hand.
