Chapter 275 Bootlicking sentence (2/2)
”My love, will you repeat what you just said just now? I don't seem to understand.” Sweet yet vicious, Lexi requested as she took a big bite out of the chicken wing she picked up.
Ethan Lu watched her leisurely eat while he was being punished. For god's sake! He hasn't eaten dinner and only ate a little portion earlier at lunch as he wanted to enjoy a meal with her. However, who would have thought that the dinner he prepared would be ruined and he was unable to eat before these two arrived?
On another note, Ethan Lu realized that he was also the one who proposed that he should just ask these two to bring them take out food. 'Damn it!'
”Lyrick, he's my—”
”No, not that one. The one before that.” Even before he could finish his sentence, Lexi abruptly interrupted while shaking her head sideways. After she spouted her clarified demand, she then took another nip from the juicy chicken wings.
”Nico, is one of my men disguised to protect you.” With his lack of energy, Ethan Lu responded as he glanced to his side where Nico Zhuang was kneeling and then to the deity watching them suffer.
”Why?” Letting out a heavy sigh, Lexi confirmed that she didn't hear wrong. Her ears and eyes weren't really deceiving her as Nico Zhuang, in the flesh was indeed present.
”Love, can we stand up so I can explain properly?” Desperate, Ethan Lu used his ultimate skill— the puppy eyes. He showed no regards to his reputation in front of one of his trusted men as his life was more important. Moreover, they had already seen his 180-degree change in personality whenever he was with Lexi. Hence, he could not be careless anymore! He is after all, hungry as well!
Lexi only stared at him with narrowed eyes as if she was saying: 'how dare you peasant to ask such a thing!'. Nico Zhuang could only cringe at the sight of his master while Lyrick Jiang was already swimming in the fantasy of being pet by his new master named Lexi Yang.
”Baby, My love, my sun and moon, the brightest star in the night sky, and my world... no, my entire universe, I know I'm wrong for not telling you— that's why I want to make up my wrong choices right now.” One heavy sigh after another heavy sigh, Ethan Lu placed his palms together and slowly rubbed them as he apologized.
However, although his words effectively wavered the angered empress, the mother of the nation, Ethan Lu's every word sent goosebumps to his confidants.
They cringed with every word in that one mere bootlicking sentence. It was so cringe-worthy that even Lyrick Jiang, who was in the middle of envisioning being praised to the heavens by Lexi, was interrupted. Both shot Ethan Lu a disrespectful disdainful glance and thought in unison: 'She won't buy it'.
Alas, just as they thought his words wouldn't be so magical to reduce their sentence. ”Alright, sit over there and explain. This time, Ethan Lu, I am telling you, whatever you say might and can be used against you— I advise you to tell me the truth and nothing but the truth.” After a heavy sigh, Lexi surely had a soft spot for Ethan Lu as she could not bear to watch him suffer longer than she expected. Hence, after a nod of agreement, she permitted the two to fill her in on the details without being pained by the washboard.
Still, her words were clad by threats as she warned them with what the police normally say when they capture a criminal.
