Chapter 201 Lexis advances (1/2)
Ethan Lu was resting his head on the driver's seat headrest. He was once again in the pit of his overthinking mind and he didn't notice that Lexi approached his car. He only snapped when Lexi entered the front passenger seat.
Turning to see her on the side, Ethan Lu forced a smile on his lips. ”Sorry, I didn't notice you— I should have waited outside.” Referring that he should have opened the door for her like always, he apologized which made her smile gently.
”It's not like I don't have a hand.” She humored as Lexi guessed what's on his mind. Buckling herself up, Lexi removed the blazer suit first and placed it on her lap.
”Love…” Feeling helpless, Ethan Lu called out under his breath yet, he only shook his head as he fixed his seatbelt. ”Ready? Where do you want to eat?”
”Anywhere with you.” Grabbing the blazer suit, Lexi covered her exposed cleavage as she muttered her response as if her answer was normal. Alas, it was not!
Her reply almost made Ethan Lu jolt from his seat as he looked at her with disbelief eyes and a narrowly opened mouth. Did she just said she's fine everywhere if she's with him?! Like really?
When Lexi glanced at Ethan Lu who wasn't starting the car's engine, she arched her brows seeing his abnormal reaction. ”What?”
”Baby, d- don't drink again.” Trying to recompose his already muddled mind, Ethan Lu stuttered as he wasn't used to hearing her throwing such lines to him. He then clumsily started the car's engine with the best he could do.
Lexi watched his clumsiness took over and chuckled. Well, although she was telling the truth, it was still fun to make him taste his own medicine. As the car finally moved, Lexi held her hand out which made Ethan Lu furrowed his brows when he caught a glimpse of what she was doing.
”Uhh, what are you doing?” Glancing at her hand from time to time, Ethan Lu's entire focus regarding Morris Liu and the threat of his presence slowly set aside.
”Waiting for your hand.” As serious as she could sound, Lexi pursed her lips as she watched his reaction from her advances one after another.
”Oh my god…” Slightly horrified, Ethan Lu lowly mumbled as his heart began to beat faster than usual. Was she trying to give him a heart attack? First, saying cheesy words and now initiating a holding hand? What was she up to?
”Please tell me how much did you drink?” Disbelief about Lexi, Ethan Lu inquired in bewilderment as his hand reached out for her hand while his dilated eyes focused on the road.
”Not too much— why? You don't like it?” Chuckling, Lexi could no longer hold back her laughter as she tightened her grip that was holding his hand before loosening it. For some reason, she was in the mood to play around with him. After all, she wasn't that stiffed before. It was just that she could only be like this to the people that had a special space in her heart.
”I do like it! But, I'm not used to it.” Feeling her slender hand, Ethan Lu responded in a matter of factly tone as he bit his lower lip to prevent himself from smiling like a fool; despite that, his cheeks were already blushing.
”Well, be use to it from hereon.” Audibly replying, Lexi chuckled as she shook her head and repositioned her body so she could comfortably watch his side profile while driving. That instant, seeing that she was staring at him, he gritted his teeth to make his jaw a bit more apparent.
