Chapter 231 I kick where it hurts (2/2)

”Ethan, that was awkward.” Rolling her eyes, Lexi was expecting something steamy before he would propose this. She expected this much as Lexi wouldn't allow them to go straight naked to bed without even freshening up.

After all, they came from an event and recalled how he kissed every part of her until he was slightly satisfied— Lexi knew she should be prepared. However, he just bluntly said those words as if it was more of a chore than him being aroused by the idea. Therefore, Lexi was being petty and her mood gradually reduced.

”*sigh* That,” Letting out a heavy sigh, Ethan Lu suddenly pointed at her knee she used to hurt Gael Zhang. ”It should be cleansed— I will personally sanitize it so no remnant from that lowly man would remain.” He frowned as the brief memory of when Lexi assaulted Gael Zhang flashed in his head.

Ethan Lu already had this thought in mind earlier while waiting for Lexi to exit the establishment. However, that plan slightly drifted away when Lexi started flirting with him. But now, when they're on their way in his room and he had a glimpse of her flawless leg and knee, his anger toward the man resurfaced— even the fact that he wanted to scrub her knee that she used to strike Gael Zhang because it still touched his private part.

”Pfft-!” Upon hearing the cause of his sullen mood, Lexi covered her mouth as she suppressed her chuckles. ”I already planed that— you don't know how long I bath after assaulting a man.” she briefly explained which made the corners of his eyes twitch.

”You mean this wasn't the first?”

”I kick where it hurts.” Nonchalantly shrugging, Lexi raised her brows and displayed an innocent look that didn't appear that much with her matured, sharp facial features. ”Didn't I mention before that I faced tons of lawsuits before? That's because of that and what I did afterward to vent my anger, so…”

At first, Lexi didn't want to let him see that side of her despite mentioning it like it was nothing. After all, telling a story was easy to understand but in reality, if he saw it before his eyes, Lexi was afraid that he would have second thoughts about her. Alas, after pondering about it through their journey in his villa, Lexi decided to face whatever he would think of her.

Ethan Lu only frowned and heavily exhaled before he took a step forward and pulled her to his embrace. ”How can you be so kind? How dare they make you exert effort to the extent of injuring your knees? My poor baby…”

”Uh, Ethan…? It's the other way around— it's them who were hurt.” Surprised by his sudden sympathy which she actually didn't need… or so she thought.

”What? They forced you to assault their juniors— how can they traumatize you like that?” Still embracing her as he stroked Lexi's head, Ethan Lu gently coaxed her.

He didn't mind how vile she could be, as he already loved everything about her— her perfect flaws and the goodness she has. Moreover, he recalled that he also had the taste of her knee strike back then, therefore, he believed that wasn't enough for a man not to like her.

Ethan Lu was fortunate that Lexi was drunk as hell at that time and couldn't use her full stregth. Still, it tormented him.

”Don't worry, you have me now. I won't let them get away with it.” Slowly pushing her, Ethan Lu subtly smiled as his eyes locked on her pretty ones. With that said remarks, his hand slowly cupped her cheek and leaned forward for a kiss. Lexi smiled as she closed her eyes, welcoming his loving lips and the moving warmth he emitted.

Indeed, she has him now. Hence, her heart felt so reassured that it nearly melted. How could he be so understanding and biased towards her? He was just too perfect for her that her day wouldn't be completed without talking to him.

Until now, Lexi could not believe that Ethan Lu was the person who would help her heal and be one of her strongest supporters of moving forward. He never judged her previous actions nor her misconducts that were obviously unjustifiable. Surely, the best occurrence or people are the ones she never expected to be in her life.

She was grateful that she got to meet these wonderful people especially him, Ethan Lu that made her feel her heart had never been broken.
