The Rise of the White Lotus

Chapter 213 What a decesive woman

Ethan Lu froze upon hearing her confession. He was unable to move for a second as he thoroughly processed her words. Alas, just when he fully absorbed her last remarks, Lexi was already going into a deep slumber while he was still inside her!

"Love," Mildly shaking her, Ethan Lu wanted to hear it once again. However, she just went off into slumberland just like that without any consideration to him.

Letting out a heavy sigh, Ethan Lu chuckled as he looked at her gorgeous face that was still flushed from his new favorite exercise. Slowly sliding out his still hard cock, he collapsed on her side.

Repositioning himself onto his side to watch her sleeping figure for a while, a gentle and loving smile plastered on his lips. He brushed the strand of hair on her face and tucked it behind her ear.

Up until now, he could not believe that he made love with her. It felt so surreal as he thought it was just one of his fantasies. Hence, to prove that everything occurred, he pinched his cheek and winced as he unreservedly inflicted some pain to snap himself awake just in case he was dreaming.

Alas, even after doing that, Lexi was still there, lying with her naked body. For some reason, he felt his eyes sting as a little salt liquid began to form on his eyes.

"Jeez…" He muttered with a smile. He added, "What a decisive woman I have."

Ethan Lu felt like crying from joy and gratefulness as Lexi was lying next to him. He just loved her too deeply without even realizing it, at how intense his feelings for her were. At first, he only expected a fifty percent chance to be with her but now she's really with him.

Therefore, how could he contain these overwhelming emotions? He wanted to shout, jump and even announce to the world that she was his. However, instead of doing that, his eyes started to well up which was very unsightly for him. Regardless, his heart was too moved with the reality of their relationship and he could not ask for more.

"I love you… I love you…." He repeated those three words that despite not giving justice to convey his intense love for her, that even these words could not even be on par on how deep he loves her. Regardless, it was the only words he could say along with his light soft kisses.

After some time, Ethan Lu finally got up and strode towards the bathroom. It only took him several minutes before he came back to her with a small tub half-filled with water and a small towel.

He then wiped her sticky body that she didn't bother to clean due to her excessive fatigue. Well, he didn't mind as he still had enough energy to do it for her. When he wiped every inch of her body, Ethan Lu then tucked her in with a thick blanket because he didn't want to disturb her sleep while dressing her up.

Moreover, his perverted side triumphed and wanted to sleep with her naked body and share their natural warmth with each other. When Lexi turned to her side as if she was glad about the warmth of the blanket, Ethan Lu smiled in satisfaction before he went to freshen himself up.

Thirty minutes had passed and Ethan Lu just came out from the shower wearing a bathrobe with a small towel on top of his drenched hair. His body temperature took too long to cool down and his brother down there was still wide awake as if waiting for round two. Alas, even if he also wanted to second that, Lexi was already asleep. Furthermore, he was reminded that she had a few drinks before he picked her up.

Therefore, he struggled alone battling and subduing his greedy inner beast. Well, they still have tomorrow and days ahead so there's no need to rush things; it was her first time after all.

Just as he was about to enter the walk-in closet, Ethan Lu heard a faint knock from outside. Furrowing his brows, he recalled that in the middle of the passionate lovemaking, someone almost broke their mood.

His eyes squinted as Ethan Lu didn't enter the walk-in closet and headed to the door after he turned off the lights and left the dim lights on. He glanced at Lexi and seeing that she was still wrapped with the blanket, Ethan Lu opened the door with a frown.

The moment he saw his cousin Louis Lu, he indifferently looked at him still bearing his displeased front. "What?"

Louis Lu briefly scanned him. In an instant, Louis Lu spotted a small scratch on the side of his neck that was very evident with his fair complexion. Raising his gaze on the displeased Ethan Lu, he responded.

"You had a visitor."

"Huh?" Knitting his brows, Ethan Lu slightly tilted his head to the side as he didn't expect any visitor. Well, that was also his first thought when he saw his cousin inside his house. "Why do people keep on dropping by? Don't they sleep?"

Although Ethan Lu hasn't checked the current time, he estimated that it must have been around past midnight because he knew what time he picked Lexi up.

"Who?"

"I don't know, I sent him away." Louis Lu shrugged his shoulder as he blankly replied.

"Eh?! Then, why are you here?"

"Your assistant also came by. He didn't tell me why but he said to tell you that you needed to pick up his calls— it's important." Louis Lu then brought out a smartphone and handed it to him.

"Ohh…" Nodding in understanding, Ethan Lu forgot that he gave an order to Lyrick Jiang earlier before he picked up his girlfriend.

"Alright, thanks Lou. Sorry for bothering you." Smiling, Ethan Lu apologized as he snatched the phone in his cousin's hand. Yet, his apologies didn't affect his cousin as he didn't have any change of expression and only shrugged before he turned his back against him.

When he closed the door, Ethan Lu immediately speed-dialed Lyrick Jiang's contact number because his assistant wouldn't personally drop by if it wasn't important.

Even before the first ring could finish, the call was immediately picked up and the line connected.

"Young Master—!" Ethan Lu put away his phone as the deafening voice of his assistant welcomed him. After a beat when the man on the other end calmed down, Ethan Lu placed his phone again in front of his ear.

"What is it?"

"We received a few reports that five suspicious men were surrounding your house earlier. Fortunately, your guards got a hold of them even before they could infiltrate your villa."

"Where are they?" Ethan Lu's eyes immediately darkened upon hearing this report. It was the first time that he received such bold news as his family members wouldn't strike this soon. Still, Ethan Lu didn't single out that option.

"Young Master, that's why I called because those men chose to take their own life even before they could be questioned." With that last remark, a dreaded silence dawned on the line for a good one minute.

"I see… ask our contact in the military if they have records of them." Ethan Lu responded and cut the line short. Glancing at Lexi's back from his position, his heart suddenly felt uneasy. It was as if his instinct was certain that those people— their intention was not him but her.
