Chapter 401 - 401: Taste Good (2/2)

”If that's all you need to hear from me, I'm gonna switch. It's almost time for my lunch break and I've been wearing this motion-capture suit for three hours now.” She complained.

”En, en. Thanks for your hard work, Senior Sister Jill. Enjoy your lunch.” She Lei waved and respectfully greeted her goodbye like a dutiful younger brother to his elder sister.

”You should take a break as well, Ah Lei. You and I both know how tiring it is pretending to work for that waste of oxygen.” Cyra kindly suggested, looking after her Junior Brother. ”Enyo [1] will cover for me next. I'll tell her to make sure you're not overworking yourself.”

”You know I love you guys, but you really should stop babying me all the time.” She Lei pouted childishly, contradicting his statement.

Cyra chuckled. ”You're the youngest, can you blame us?”

Unable to refute her answer, She Lei crossed his arms and grumbled.

Lillie was in a state of pure bliss and content as she took a generous bite of her strawberry and chocolate creme cr.a.p.e. While one hand holds the dessert, the other was locked with Ethan's grasp.

Ethan couldn't take his eyes off of her. His fond smile not wavering in the slightest as he admires the beautiful sight that pales in comparison to the attractions they've toured around Fenhua City.

The two of them changed into casual, warm clothes fit to counter the autumn air. It partially hid their signature looks.

They didn't go all the way, just enough that people won't recognize them at first glance. Besides, people's attention seems to be more drawn into Fenhua's attractions to notice the infamous heavenly couple—which goes in their favor.

”Is it good?” It was a silly question. Obviously, it was good if she enjoys it so eagerly.

”En, you want to taste?” She tilted her head at him, bringing the crepe towards him.

But instead of taking a bite, Ethan lowered his head and ran his tongue on the corner of her mouth to wipe the cream off.

Lillie blinked, baffled and surprised. When she got a full view of his face, he locked eyes with he and boldly licked his lips, winking mischievously at her.

”Taste good.”

Lillie's cheeks flushed.

Ethan's heart went wild at her fl.u.s.tered look and couldn't help but want to hide that look from everyone.

And that's exactly what he did by engulfing her into his embrace. Her face was buried into his c.h.e.s.t.

Onlookers who were near enough to witness the spectacle were force-fed with dog food.

They wanted to cry in envy, yet they couldn't help but find it endearing. You could clearly tell if two people are in love from the way they stare and hold one another as if they're the most precious thing in the world.

It's rare to see something like this happening outside of fiction.

”What do you think you're doing,” Lillie complained, her voice was muffled from where she hides her blushing mess of a face. But could still hear the embarrassment in her tone and see the red spreading to her ears.

”Teasing my wife, what else?” Ethan shamelessly admits with a proud grin. ”I see you aren't immune to my charms yet, my dear? Not that I would let that happen.”

”You're awfully confident, aren't you?”

”Well, so far it hasn't failed me yet, now has it? And I believe you would know better than anyone.” He whispered from her ears, his warm breath effectively making her shiver.

Lillie swore she'll get him for this. But she thinks he would gladly receive retaliation if she did what he did.
