Chapter 275 Bootlicking sentence (1/2)

Ethan Lu's reasoning was like a heavily dropped bomb that nearly deafened the accused Lyrick Jiang. None of the three recovered fast enough as they could only turn to him in dismay.

Lyrick Jiang: ”!!!”

Nico Zhuang: ”???”

Lexi: ”...”

After some time within the dreaded silence that had dawned onto the whole Lu Villa, Lexi finally was able to recover from her boyfriend's shamelessness for dragging even an innocent assistant in this.

”An accomplice? Accessory? Ethan Lu, Nico Zhuang keep kneeling!” Her order was louder than a rumbling thunder to Ethan Lu and Nico Zhuang. On the other hand, Lyrick Jiang's eyes lit up upon hearing that his name wasn't on the list of the queen's death list. However, despite the jubilation hailing inside his mind and worshipping Lexi as if she was a real-life deity, Lyrick Jiang remained composed on the surface.

'Bless this goddess, my dear Lord. Let me resign as Master Lu's assistant and apply to be the Madam's right-hand man instead!' He sincerely prayed inwardly while his subconscious self kowtowed thanking the heavens for sending him a savior in the flesh.

”Lyrick, stand up.” Lexi glanced at Lyrick Jiang who executed her order faster than the blink of an eye. Lyrick Jiang immediately stayed to the side, almost giggling for this triumphant night as his master failed to bully him under his goddess' watch.

'I should curry more favor from the empress for protection— right, that's right hehe.' He snickered inwardly as he planned all of the brownie points he could come up with to do in the future; that future means starting that very second.

While Lyrick Jiang was giggling about his grand plan to curry favor to his life savior from his master's clutches, the other two were glaring daggers at him. If only glares could kill, Lyrick Jiang was probably already dead multiple times in a gruesome way.

Lexi glanced at Ethan Lu and Nico Zhuang's faces for a second before she took unhurried steps on the couch. Plopping down, Lexi noticed the paper bag that had a restaurant's mark on it— their take out food!

For some reason, the moment she laid her eyes on the food, her stomach began to growl— reminding her that she skipped two meals today. Hence, she was hungry. She then slowly sprawled her arms to reach for the small paper bag containing food.

Lexi deliberately took her time as she checked the food that Ethan Lu's men brought for them. There were chicken wings, some soup, and some snacks.

Delighted, Lexi bit her lower lip and grabbed the tupperware of chicken wings before leaning her back against the sofa— positioning herself in the most comfortable manner while watching the two kneeling on the washboard.
