443 What are you thinking? (1/2)

”Hahahaha!” When Mr. Tang finally recovered, he cracked up, filling the whole hall with his pearls of laughter. Because of the indirect message of his good friend of what he wanted to relay even from kilometers away, Mr. Tang could not help but clap his hands as he laughed.

”I see, I see! Now, that's eight! Hahaha! Please send my regards to Mr. Lu, Miss Yang.” Grinning from ear to ear, Mr. Tang remarked as he turned his head to the crowd. Since Lexi stood out among the rest, he instantly caught her figure standing on the side.

'His possessiveness sometimes is amusing.' Chuckling inwardly, Lexi nodded her head a little to Mr. Tang's direction as a response.

With that said and done, Mr. Tang gestured the men to leave the presents on the side as he didn't open them in front of everyone since it was a lot, and there are still people lined up. Soon, they resumed to finish the acceptance of gifts.

Regardless, after that skit Ethan Lu's men did and proclaimed, the majority attention of the guest were turned to the indifferent Lexi. Despite the gazes she received and indistinct murmurs, Lexi remained nonchalant as she could not care less.

What's important to her was that her love, her husband dearest was just too charming. Perhaps, it was the wine that she had the sudden urge to cling on his neck and shower him kisses until they go to the next phase.

Now, with that thought in mind, Lexi finally retracted her back from the wall as she needed to give her husband a call. Considering his kind gesture, it tempted Lexi to flirt with him through a sweet, loving call.

Meanwhile, as Lexi left without care from the many eyes on her, their murmuring grew louder.

”Am I the only one who noticed that they addressed her as Madam? As in Madam without Lu?”

”Gosh... just when I thought they secretly split.”

”So, does that mean — wait, Mr. Liu is here, right? OmO!”

”Ha?? What's all the fuss? It's just an indirect confirmation that they are still together, so what?”

”Stupid! Do you really think it's as simple as that? Let me explain: first, for the seven gifts that were supposed to be eight which means 'good things come in pairs', Mr. Lu purposely gave seven then added Miss Yang's present to make it eight. In other words, he meant that Miss Yang and Him, was one — so Miss Yang's gifts were his and vice versa.

Second, regardless if Mr. Lu knew that Mr. Liu is here or not, I'm pretty sure that it was also a threat not to touch what's his. And what's his is none other than Miss Yang, obviously! You get it now?” One small lady rolled her eyes at her friend as she explained in full detail as if she was told about the whole story.

”Huh? How did you know that?”
