Chapter 251 Ahh... this koala (1/2)
If their jaw could just literally drop, then, Lyrick Jiang and Jarred Guo's jaw already crashed onto the concrete ground. Both could not hide their shock as they soundlessly gasped at the scene before them unfolding— holding their breath for a while.
Both men watched their boss and the woman who was wearing her nighties as if she was going straight to her bed. They were sweet— super sweet to the extent that both men could see tiny red ants following their trail.
As the two lovebirds seemed as if they were just having a late-night walk in the park, Ethan Lu's supposedly perfect subordinates could not help but speak under their breath.
”Woah... Now, I understand why the boss kept her hidden.” Jarred Guo was in awe as Lexi wasn't wearing any decoration on her face nor does she have any accessories. She was just in simple pajamas with her hair set loose— letting its volume bounce and smoothly follow her every move.
”The real boss...?” With the same tone and volume, Lyrick Jiang ignored his young master as his gaze locked in Lexi's direction. After a second, he corrected. ”No, a miraculous deity.”
Of course, Lyrick Jiang had considered his theory of his young master having a relationship with the Yang's young mistress. Hence, for someone who was as much of a busybody as him, Lyrick Jiang used their waiting time, not thinking about speculations but, doing research about the Yang family— especially Lexi Yang.
He had gathered information about Lexi and Morris Liu's engagements, the said woman's ambiguous scandals, and many more that someone wouldn't be proud of. Upon reading about the article between Lexi and Morris Liu, Lyrick Jiang was reminded of the fight incident that had happened months ago with Ethan Lu and Morris Liu.
However, Lyrick Jiang didn't immediately conclude that it was about a woman because there are still many reasons why his young master could have turned so aggressive at that time. Still, he didn't single out that fact among the many theories that could have caused such a scene.
Nevertheless, although Lyrick Jiang already saw Lexi Yang's photos, he was quite shocked as she looked more ethereal in person. Also, the fact that he worshipped a faceless woman secretly for his young master's progress— she didn't disappoint him!
”You look tired,” Lexi, linking arms with her charming escort by the name of Ethan Lu, slightly frowning as she lightly tilted the side of her head to the front while staring at him. Their steps were leisurely slow but did not falter even once until Ethan Lu paused in his tracks to face her.
”I am...” Pouting like a little spoiled child garnering for sympathy, Ethan Lu smoothly buried his face to her shoulder while his arms sneakily wrapped around her slender waist. ”Because my girl is being too mean to me— not giving me an energy kiss.” Indeed, Ethan Lu hasn't moved on from the unkindly act that Lexi refused to kiss him goodbye earlier that morning.
”So, you're holding a grudge on me?” Slowly sneaking her arms around his upper-back, the corner of her lips curled into a mischievous grin.
”I do, I do! I need some compensation!” Still complaining, Ethan Lu slightly shook his shoulders as if feeling her petite arms around him wasn't enough— he's greedy.
The next second, Lexi marginally lifted her right foot and shifted it on top of his shiny formal shoes— same with her other foot, fixedly setting them on top of his shoe. Her grip on his back tightened along with her faint giggle.
”There, there. Let me cling on you like a koala.” Humoring him, Lexi remained in her position.
”Ahh... this koala...” By this time, Ethan Lu snapped from his awful acting as he chuckled from her silliness. Tenderly tightening his grip around her waist to secure her, Ethan Lu took a slow step forward with her foot on top of his shoe, and then his other foot— taking slow strides while she clung to him like a sloth.
Regardless of the added weight, Ethan Lu didn't complain and took this into his advantage to flirt with her along the way. As the two of them took their time reaching Ethan Lu's car, his two loyal subordinates watched them and could not help the corner of their eyes from twitching.
The Yang servants were already done putting the luggage in the trunk with Jarred Guo's assistance and already went back inside the manor. However, their boss and their future lady boss hadn't reached them yet.
For Pete's sake! From the Yang Mansion's entrance door, given the distance to the car, it would only take less than a minute to reach if they would only walk normally! Yet, Ethan Lu and Lexi were taking forever! Not to mention, tossing dog food all over the place!
