Chapter 201 Lexis advances (2/2)

'Shoot! Did I shave earlier?' Getting a bit more self-conscious, Ethan Lu's mind asked himself as he wondered if he looked just fine. After all, he was too busy these days and his stressful encounter with his friends earlier— he felt that he aged overnight. Yes, he was indeed overthinking as he didn't want to turn her off even though he had already done it so many times without him knowing.

They traveled like that for half an hour as Ethan Lu was undecided about where to take her. In the end, without him knowing, Ethan Lu arrived at his own private villa. He swore in the name of gods that he didn't purposely take her in his home as Ethan Lu only realized where they stopped when he glanced outside.

On the other hand, since Lexi already went in his place, she already knew where he was taking her. However, she didn't ask questions as she already told him: anywhere was fine if she's with him. Therefore, she could not careless wherever he wanted— as long as they could eat together and catch up.

”Oh, I'm sorry, I was spacing out, I didn't —” Just as Ethan Lu apologized about being distracted, Lexi interrupted him midway while unbuckling her seat.

”It's fine. At least you can rest afterward.” Turning to him with a smile, Lexi raised her brows showing that she wasn't objecting at his choice of place.

Upon seeing this, Ethan Lu was dumbstruck as he could slowly nod in understanding. Surely, he was quite baffled at why Lexi was being a little too extra today which was actually terrifying and flattering at the same time. Regardless, Ethan Lu exhaled as he started to unbuckle his seat and went outside.

Jogging his way to the passenger seat, Ethan Lu assisted Lexi from going out like a real gentleman. Fortunately, his scolding inwardly made his mind started to function a bit and acted by instinct.

Lexi looked at the refrigerator and her brows slowly creased. Behind her, Ethan Lu scratched his temple as he realized that his huge refrigerator had nothing but bottles of water and a few ingredients. Aside from that, there was actually nothing inside this expensive storage.

”If Mom finds out about this, she'll surely fill this for you.” Turning behind her, Lexi arched her brows and she crossed her arms under her breast. Indeed, knowing her mother, she would surely nag Ethan Lu just like what she had done to her back when she was abroad when she heard that Lexi was barely eating. One of the reasons she started pigging out as her mother spoiled her too extensively.

”Uh… I forgot I have no decent food here— let's drive somewhere—” Sounding embarrassed, Ethan Lu wanted to dig a hole to where he was standing because not only he exposed that he wasn't eating at his own home, he dared bring her here knowing he had nothing to offer.

”Tsk,” Clicking her tongue in annoyance to interrupt his suggestion, Lexi returned her attention back to the fridge before grabbing some ingredients they could use. ”I'll see what I can prepare with this— here.”

”Err, love we can just eat somewhere—”

”Shut up, Mr. Lu and just help me if you still want to eat.” Shushing him, Lexi handed out some eggs and green onions that she could use to prepare some decent food.

”Oh, okay…?” Briefly raising his brows, Ethan Lu immediately nodded and acted as a good sous chef to his sexy chef.
