Chapter 261 - 261: An Actual Devil (2/2)
”Congratulations, Nica, Ah Tian!” Arthur Bai hugged his only daughter and her husband.
”Does this mean I have someone to play cars with?” Luo Jiren's eyes sparkled at the thought as he was sandwiched between his parents.
”Yes, Renren will have two baby brothers he can play with!” Veronica said as she squeezed her eldest son's chubby cheeks.
Ethan rested Lillie's head onto his chest as he locked his arms around her waist. Lillie closed her eyes, intaking his scent as she listened to the fireworks above them.
A familiar scene resurfaced from her memories, back when they went to Japan and to the festival.
”Did you enjoyed the party?” He asked.
”I did.” Lillie hummed, snuggling deeper into his warm embrace. ”Especially since you're with me to enjoy it.”
Thump thump...
Ethan's heart raced, beating as if he just ran a marathon. He felt the woman in his arm shake as soft laughters slipped from her lips.
”I can hear it...” She pressed her ear to where his heart was located. ”I'm glad I can also make it beat like.”
”Also?” Ethan looked down at her with a grin.
Lillie brought her hands on his tone back and shoved her face on his chest to hide redness on it.
Chuckling at another cute expression from his wife, Ethan detached his arms on her waist to place his hands on her heated cheeks.
He gently tilted her head up and drew it near to his face. Lillie closed her eyes, anticipating his lips on hers—only to feel something soft land on her forehead.
Lillie opened her eyes and looked at him in confusion.
”I don't think your father would appreciate it if I kiss you here.” Ethan motioned his eyes at her father's direction.
If looks could kill, Ethan would be six feet under from that frightening glare.

”I can't believe how fast the time was.” Veronica cried in her cousin sister's shoulder. The party has come into end, everyone were now bidding their relatives farewell.
Luo Jiren was already sleeping on his father's arms, cuddling the gift he received from his aunt. It's for the best that he's asleep, he would've not let Lillie go if he was awake.
”We'll be seeing each other again. Maybe in a few months when the twins are born.”
”Yeah, you're right.” Veronica sniffled, rubbing the tears off her eyes.
”By the way, how's your judgement on brother's girlfriend?” She whispered while sneaking a glance at subjects.
”You have nothing to worry about, your brother knows what he's doing.” She rubbed her shoulder in reassurance.
”Well, if you say so.” Veronica smiled. ”She does seem to be serious with their relationship. It's just that...her circ.u.mstances isn't exactly making her look good.”
Lillie share her thoughts. Regardless, thorough investigation will still be carried out. Ming Ting's real intentions and the reason why her cousin brother was covering up for her are in need of answers.
Lillie assumed that Ming Ting latched onto her cousin brother so that Wei Fang would stop tormenting her family.
Beforehand, she dispatched some of her spies to watch over Wei Fang's movements. So far, she've learned that he's the reason behind the Ming family's bankruptcy.
And just a few days after that the Ming family were labelled bankrupt, her spies reported that they saw Azure Tortoise's people sneaking inside the Wei family's estate.
There was no commotion, and the people who entered did not came back.
Lillie stationed her people just outside the premises, she did not made them go inside.
Seems it was a smart move, or else they would've end up like Azure Tortoise's men.
Lillie is now certain that Wei Fang is someone from the Underworld. She would have to add him to the list of people that needs further inspection.
The face behind that smiling mask, the one that frightened even Azure Tortoise...might really belong to an actual devil.
