Chapter 257 Being cheesy early in the morning (1/2)

”Stop staring.” Glancing on her side, to the head seat on the rectangular dining table, Lexi slightly shook her head sideways as she forked another piece of small carrot that was sliced into a small cube.

”No, I won't, I have to because you'll be pretty busy after this. When will I have the chance to gaze at your gorgeous face then?” Still cupping both of his cheeks while staring at the beautiful scenery called Lexi Yang, Ethan Lu refused as he lightly shook his head.

It was the second day since Lexi moved into his place and hence, this day should be the start of her seminars and classes for her plan to establish a skincare business. Within those two nights she has been there, both didn't get the chance to have any steamy exercises because they had to finish the small dress— keeping them up until they passed out.

”Am I the only one who's going to be busy? Besides, it's not like I won't be coming home here afterward.” Rolling her eyes, Lexi arched her brow as she looked at him with a bland expression. Still, Ethan Lu silently refused as he engraved her perfectly made facial features into his mind that was only befitting to someone like her.

”Oh, by the way, my car arrived this morning so you don't have to drop me off.” Being reminded of something not entirely crucial, Lexi ignored the lover boy that was beaming with pink petals with a speck of imaginary pink powder dust floating all around him.

Upon receiving her news, Ethan Lu frowned as a dismayed expression flashed across his face. ”Huh?!”

”Mhmm, you heard me right. You've been pushing all your schedules back and I can't let you ruin your career for me.” Still bearing her poker face countenance, Lexi uttered in a matter of fact tone.

Maybe she was exaggerating on the last part but Ethan Lu had been pushing his work back further than it's usual schedule by accompanying her in the morning. Therefore, Lexi didn't want to burden him even though Ethan Lu would be the most unlikely to have treated it as a burden.

Regardless, she's a capable woman who could drive herself to wherever she needed to be without a driver. Moreover, she appreciated the fact that Ethan Lu wanted to pamper her, however, she could not just rely on him all of the time as she needed to do something for herself.

”I'm not ruining my career...” Pouted like a sad child, Ethan Lu lowered his head and stared at his empty plate that he had eaten much faster than normal so he could focus on indulging himself in watching her.

”No, Mister. That trick won't work on me.” Referring to his gloomy, pitiful act, Lexi shook her head. Although she said those words, Lexi would be lying if she said it didn't affect her even the slightest bit. After all, seeing him act like a neglected kitten, her soft spot for him was being tugged harshly. Still, she has to put on a facade or else, Ethan Lu would continue to neglect his obligations.

”But, all my appointments in the morning are not as important as you.” He added after a heavy sigh.

”I know because I'll choke you to death if you think they are more important than me. Still, you shouldn't neglect them.” Lexi nonchalantly shrugged her shoulders as she humored him— shamelessly admitting and threatening him that she should be the most important for him. Well, although she wanted him to be a responsible adult, Lexi was selfish enough not to let him have something more important than her.

”Love, you're really confusing to me sometimes.” Slightly shaking his head sideways, Ethan Lu could not rebut anymore as he could not come up with any more excuses. Still, he was amused that Lexi was becoming bolder and bolder with each passing day that they were together.

Ethan Lu raised his gaze and watched Lexi finish her breakfast with a mischievous smile on the corner of his lips. ”Love?”
