Chapter 534

Silence was the only sound they heard on the line before the beeping noise, indicating the call was cut short came . Lexi meekly scoffed as she foresaw this coming .

“Hand it to you?” Ethan Lu arched his brow, displeased at the conclusion he has in mind . “Love didn’t I—” Shaking his head, he was about to lecture and remind his ever so lovely wife of the things they have discussed numerous times .

However, just before he could do so, Lexi sweetly smiled, brightening the obscure mood surrounding her . She then leaped towards him and wrapped her arms around his neck .

“I know,” said Lexi as she kissed the apex of his nose . “I’m just messing with them,” she added as the corner of her lips curled .

Amusement danced in his eyes as he stared at her playful wife . “Messing with them?”

“Did I mention Laurel claimed that she’s a mistress — your mistress, to be precise?”

“ahh — What?!” Disgusted to the core, Ethan Lu’s face distorted just with the idea . “Are you sure?” Yet, his tone was laced with disbelief .

Based on the projects he collaborated with Laurel Wang, it would be very unlikely of her to claim such a thing . She’s a smart woman and even though Ethan Lu gets the creeps on her gaze, she remained professional anyway .

Therefore, how could Laurel Wang admit that she was a mistress? Who would be proud to be someone’s mistress? Unbeknownst to Ethan Lu, his cousin Dylan Lu had the same query .

“Hmm, I asked, and she answered — she even knelt down and apologized for your adultery . ” Lexi chuckled as he satisfied her with the expression on his husband .

Lexi told him about her arrangement with Laurel Wang . However, she didn’t get to the details because they had a long day and it was time to give their full attention to the twins .

Therefore, no scheming discussion was allowed . The reason why he was shocked to know this irking details he wished he didn’t hear .

“Anyway, I won’t meet him or them . I’m just playing hard to get . ” Lexi humored, mischief laced in her voice as Ethan Lu heaved a sigh of relief .

“Really?” He asked, a helpless smile formed on his lips .

Ethan Lu was relieved that they wouldn’t need to discuss and prolong another argument with his mischievous wife . After all, although he fully trusted her, still, their situation right now was much more different .

“What’s the use of our partnership if I won’t rely on you?” She teased, surprisingly making him flustered .

Lexi had been doing things on her own . Starting a company, doing this and that, not asking for his help . Although he understood that she was doing it for herself, Ethan Lu was still slightly disappointed that she wasn’t relying on him that much .

Hence, he would usually murmur his complaint: “what’s the use of having an influential hubby if you don’t seek my power?” Yes, his complaints were a mix of disheartened bragging . He’s stating facts, though .

“I’ll hand him over to you . . . ” She said proudly . “Whether or not he made a copy, I’m confident that it wouldn’t pass Mr . Lu’s hands, yes?” Lightly swaying, Lexi witnessed the gentle smile on his lips as he shook his head helplessly .

“Yes, my Wifey . ” With that said note, Ethan Lu leaned forward and caught her lips within a second .

Lexi didn’t give him instruction as she knew her husband already had something in mind . Whether or not the blackmailer would agree, they had nothing to lose, anyway .

In actuality, they were the ones who gained the most . Whether it was the fifty million or having the man in custody — it wasn’t a bad trade .

Lexi gently pushed his chest away before their kiss would deepen and could lead elsewhere . “As for that woman, I can handle her . ” After pressing her lips together and heaved, Lexi mused .

“Oh,” Quite displeased that she broke the kiss, Ethan Lu just heedlessly nodded his head . Well, he’s good with whatever her wife’s wanted, as long as it wouldn’t bring her into danger .

Moreover, he was disgusted at Laurel Wang . God knows what he would do if she ever appeared in front of him . He might as well cut ties with the Wang family .

But, he’ll leave it all to Lexi so she could show off . Well, he liked that she low key bragged about him .

“Anyway, where’s Churu?” Upon recalling someone’s absence, Lexi looked around but to no avail .

“Right, I sent her to follow Lou, but she should’ve been back by now . ” Realizing the missing being today, Ethan Lu knitted his brows .

****

Morris Liu massaged the space between his brows . Last night was a restless night for him . Despite the minimal alcohol intake, in normal days, it was enough for him to sleep .

However, last night was the exception . He felt some cold pressure around him, sometimes even poking his feet, hands, and face .

Not just that, but somehow, he could hear a faint minion voice whispering in his ears . The small voice was even talking to him yet, her words were vague and nearly indistinguishable .

He didn’t believe in ghosts and was never afraid of them, but heck! The experience last night was a mind changer .

“I really can touch him . . . ” Not just Morris Liu was in a state of shock, but also Churu .

She never once had dark circles around her eyes because she doesn’t need to sleep . But now, she felt so haggard that her usual spotless white being had dark bags under her eyes .

“I should stop drinking,” Morris Liu murmured as he tried to brush off the idea of ghosts . He denied the unexplainable occurrence last night and blamed it all on the alcohol as he dragged himself out to bed .

However, just as he did, Churu who was on the side was unintentionally kicked . She was tossed out of the bed causing her to squeal, “Ouch!”

That instant, Morris Liu’s distress eyes widened . He heard it again — the minion voice; he heard it again! He felt his heart raced at full speed as he clenched his jaw .

After a second, he immediately picked his phone up and called his assistant, “Book me a room at the Grand Hotel — I’ll move out . “
