438 Lexi, Im sorry. (2/2)
Lexi just stood there in delight as she stared at the pond and its beauty without noticing that ten minutes had already gone by. Actually, for some odd reason, staring at the white lotuses, she could not help her past flashed across her eyes.
In the past, they labeled her as a white lotus b*tch for having a beautiful shell while having a rotten personality; Her, for acting innocent, but was truly scheming.
It was a creative title that this generation had cooked up.
However, now that she was seeing these blossoming flowers, Lexi felt bad for it. How could they use its name hastily, if it was this pretty? It beautifully bloomed from the deepest, thickest mud, and musky waters. Thus, doesn't that mean how precious and strong it was?
Despite all the odds, it bloomed in the most beautiful and captivating flower. Well, now that she thought it that way, Lexi somehow liked her former title. Because, just like the white lotus, despite all the dirt and trouble, she could say that she too has bloomed just like it.
”It's cold out here.” Just then, Lexi heard Morris Liu's voice from behind her which made her snapped from her deep thoughts. Turning around, she saw him walked closer while he was taking off his blazer suit.
”Oh, is it?” Surprised at his sudden arrival, Lexi heedlessly responded as she ignored the fact that he took off his blazer suit. She returned her attention back to the pond and shrugged her shoulders.
”Well, compare the view inside, this is better. It's worth it.”
”Is it?” As he drew closer to her, Morris Liu, with his usual cold tone that could lower the temperature, responded. Without further ado, with no short notice, he placed the blazer over her shoulders, which made her turn to look at it.
”Your husband will be furious if you ever catch a cold. I don't want to hear his nagging.” Morris Liu explained as he stood next to her. He first cast her a side glance before turning to look at the pond she had been staring at since thirteen minutes ago.
”Huh,” She briefly chuckled. ”I don't know which reason will he get more furious: me catching a cold or another man offering his blazers to me.” Thinking of her beloved petty husband, Lexi shook her head as she humored Morris Liu.
”Either way, even if he would be displeased by my gesture, I wouldn't mind as long as you're well.” When he uttered those words, Lexi pursed her lips on a thin line as she slowly turned to face him. Staring at his side profile, she could see the reflection of the moon that mirrored on his eyes.
It was as if, in his eyes, he has a completely different understanding of the view before him and it felt... lonely.
”Brother Mo…”
