novelIt his mess, not ours
| ← Ch.419 | Ch.421 → |
Just as Ethan Lu leaned forward, Lexi instinctively drew back which brought a downturn curve on his lips. Was he not tired from the exercise he had done just now? Well, if he wasn't, then, Lexi was tired!
She was standing there with all the different phenomena hitting her spots from time to time yet, although she wanted to curl or just lie down, she couldn't, afraid to break their rhythm. Still, both of them managed to climax. Thus, can't they rest for an hour if he wanted round two? It was not like they had a deadline to catch on.
"I don't want to stop just yet— I can't get enough of you." Frowning, Ethan Lu deeply mumbled as he firmly held Lexi's waist as he was unwilling to pull his strong soldier out.
"I also wish we don't have to stop but love, aren't you afraid we'll catch a cold?" Biting her lower lip, Lexi was slightly disheartened for rejecting him as he seemed he really wanted the round two so badly. However, even if she gave the green signal, her sister down there was tired as well.
She needed a break too after all that hammering that she just received. Moreover, they had been being showered for god knows how long. Both of them could not afford to get sick after all.
"*Sigh* Alright, " Heavily sighing, Ethan Lu conceded defeat faster than expected. After a beat, he slowly pulled his still hard shaft out which surprised Lexi a little. To her, it seemed that he was just beginning to be aroused instead of already releasing the built-up tension earlier.
"We'll have to continue later— let's get some rest so later we can get to work." Catching the strange expression plastered across Lexi's face, Ethan Lu smirked before pulling her arms to his embrace and whispered. Of course, it was immediately followed by nibbling on her neck down to her collarbones to her upper chest.
"Mhmm... let's do that, " Closing her eyes, Lexi was also bewildered by what had gotten into her. She always followed his every demand and let him do whatever he wanted. Perhaps, it was the trust she has in him that this kind of initiative was just to tease and pour gasoline on the small flames that remained after their intense s*x session.
"Oh, love..." Stopping after leaving a mark on her right breast, Ethan Lu lowly growled."You're so generous I want to take advantage of it." He leaned closer to her ear as he whispered these very words that came out as a chant to Lexi.
Slowly, she felt his left hand gently massaged her back, while the other one cupped her right breast, pushing it up so he could lick her pink nipple.
His first lick sent a sugar rush through her every nerve making her nipple erect. He then shoved it in his mouth— sucking it while his tongue played with its tip in a circular motion.
"Love..." Sounding as if she was protesting and moaning at the same time, Lexi's legs had to converge together as her back slightly arched. Aside from the hot water dripping on them then mildly chilling the second after, his hot breath, his slippery saliva colliding with the water that softened her fair skin could nearly make her lose her mind.
It felt so good. Alas, it only lasted a minute as his lips stopped before the corners stretched into a grin and a deep chuckle was heard soon after."Alright, we might catch a cold." With a touch of teasing, Ethan Lu retracted his head away from her.
His eyes set on her flushed cheeks, up to the blaze of fire beneath her pair of earth hue orbs. It was not like he didn't want to continue as he successfully got Lexi's silent green light. Still, he knew that their second round would be way longer than the first. Hence, spending their whole night inside the bathroom while getting soaked was not a good idea as well.
"You're doing this on purpose." Glancing at the slight smirk on his lips, Lexi lightly scoffed as she turned around and tilted her head back to welcome the warm water sprinkling down on her. She ignored the source of the heat in this bathroom standing behind her to stabilize her racing heart as the effect of what he had done to her reignited every inch of her body.
"Sorry... I didn't mean to." Running the tip of his nose on her bare shoulder, Ethan Lu whispered as he helped Lexi clean her body.
Soon, the two of them assisted each other in the bath as their intense romance was slightly set aside. Silly plays eventually ensued as both of them enjoyed this luxury of bathing together without a care in the world.
*****
After half an hour, Lexi and Ethan Lu finally decided to finish bathing. Going to their usual routine after bathing, both of them unconsciously didn't bother to have a change of clothes instead, they only changed their bathrobes to dry ones since deep down, they knew they would have to sleep naked again with the built-up tension left over after the bathroom scene.
As Lexi was putting on her skincare moisturizer in front of the vanity mirror, her spare phone that was connected to her personal phone and was receiving the same emails suddenly lit up— catching Lexi's attention. Hence, she glanced at it to see the nth email from Abigail Fan.
Lexi rubbed the moisturizer on her hand for a minute before picking up the phone to see what Abigail Fan was sending her. Upon checking, Lexi could not help but chuckle as she somewhat heard her former manager's panicking voice.
"Lexi, are you sure the man's identity should be released?"
"Oh gosh... is this for real? It's Che Diayu's father? The one in the video? Oh dear, but aside from that, are we really going to assault HG Holdings? You know, even if we post it anonymously, someone will still find out who did it especially if it's an established company." And the rest of the stuff...
She didn't even mention that upon exposing the people in the video scandal, it would clear Hannah Gan's name overnight. Although there would be people who would not fully buy the new story as the actual truth, still, it was enough to waver the audience's opinion about Hannah Gan.
Without replying to any of the emails, Lexi chose to give Abigail Fan a call and put it on speaker mode. She then waited for the line to be connected as she placed the phone down and continued to moisturize her face.
"Lexi! Oh god! Did you receive my emails?" Relieved and high pitched at the same time, Abigail Fan spouted which made Lexi faintly chuckle.
"Mhmm..." Humming a tune, Lexi responded. That's why she called right? Because she read her whims. Still, Lexi didn't say it out loud as she stared at herself through the mirror."Continue the plan. I don't have anything against Che Diayu's father, but we can't go down because of him, right? It's his mess, not ours— we're just redirecting it to the rightful owner." Lexi arched her brows as she briefly glanced at the phone's screen before putting the lid of her face cream back onto the jar.
"Err..." Scratching the back of her head, Abigail Fan could only heave a deep sigh. Currently, she was still at AL entertainment's main office together with her team as they would monitor the huge turn of this scandal. Still, part of her was anxious about what may happen and the other half trusted Lexi's connections.
'Right, Mr. Lu won't let others get in her way. ' With that said reassuring note inside her mind, Abigail Fan felt a little better. Letting out another heavy exhale, she spoke."Alright, the articles are ready— it will be sent to you any minute."
"Oh? I received it just now." Seeing the new notification popping on top of her phone, Lexi unhesitatingly ended the line as she immediately checked the articles that should be released hours from now.
Scanning the whole content, the corner of her lips curled upward before replying: "Release it now. It's perfect." After seeing that her reply was successfully delivered, Lexi tossed her phone back on the surface before the vanity mirror. She then stood up, took slow strides towards the empty bed as Ethan Lu was nowhere to be seen after he left their room for an emergency call.
"What's with the happy face?" As soon as Ethan Lu returned to the master's bedroom, she noticed Lexi who was sitting on the bed, her back resting against the headboard while her laptop was on her lap— beaming lights on her face.
"Hmm?" Slowly, Lexi turned to look at Ethan Lu who was unhurriedly closing the door behind him, before she saw him marginally raised his brows as he strode towards their bed where she perched."Nothing, just a mission completed." Shrugging her shoulders, Lexi averted her gaze away from him back to the article that her team posted and now it was spreading like a wildfire in the internet world.
"Mission complete? You mean AL's crisis?" Crawling to her side, Ethan Lu caught a glimpse of the article before Lexi shut the laptop closed. Hence, it was not enough for him to read its whole content leaving him a little intrigued. Yet, he has Lexi to give him the details that's why he didn't mind.
"Yes, we found the evidence of who were the people in the video and it's quite interesting. Now, the article has reached many people which will surely cause a headline tomorrow morning." Satisfied at the progress of this small dilemma, Lexi vaguely explained.
"That's good, love." Under the sheet, Ethan Lu sneaked his arms to her waist as he deeply chuckled. Lexi's brows flinched a little by the heat of his touch when he slid his palms inside her bathrobe. Yet, Lexi chose to ignore his invitation as she turned her head to face him.
"Anyway, did you know that that woman entered AL entertainment under a false name?" Referring to Avah Tong, Lexi unreservedly spouted as her brows arched. Upon hearing her statement, his hand on her came to a full stop as his brows furrowed.
"Huh?"
"I don't know what she really wants but Ethan, I think she knew my involvement with AL entertainment which is concerning since only a few people know about that." Watching the little change on Ethan Lu's expression, Lexi brushed her hair to the side.
Indeed, when she saw Avah Tong's profile under the name of Clarisse, one thing instantly came to her: Avah Tong might know that Lexi was connected to AL entertainment.
The question was, how?
"Let's get rid of her—" Just as Ethan Lu decided to handle the woman himself as she now poses a threat to his wife, he was abruptly interrupted by Lexi.
"No, I said I'll do it myself. Anyway, how's the Lu Corporation?" Lexi shook her head sideways as she adamantly refused. To her, although it was concerning at some point, she could not let her husband's focus be diverted from a bigger problem that he has inside his own company. Therefore, Lexi diverted the subject by asking the Lu Corporation's affair.
"Hmm..." Ethan Lu paused as he was seemingly pondering what to respond. He knew her trick to divert his attention, however, although it seemed it worked, his mind was set to place Avah Tong back to where she should be.
"Same— chaotic as always. Nothing new." Ethan Lu nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders as he finally replied to her query.
"By the way, how did you know that Lou's father is suspicious?" Casting Lexi a side glance, Ethan Lu asked as he had been meaning to ask this to her.
After Lexi gave him the warning to keep an eye on Louis Lu's father, although he was intrigued why— he didn't press on the matter, he still did it expecting nothing odd. However, who would have thought that he would notice something he overlooked as it was barely noticeable.
Therefore, Ethan Lu's interest was now piqued as how Lexi specifically pointed it to him— and he was thankful that she did. Now, he could add his uncle to the addition of the list of people he could not trust.
"A hunch." Lexi shrugged her shoulder as she didn't find the reason that Seraphina Yue was the one who gave her a tip. Moreover, if the advice was somewhat helpful, she would just have to thank the said woman if they ever meet again.
Just then, Lexi slid down so the two of them were lying side by side. Turning to the side, Lexi smiled before she leaned forward— dominating his lips so the words that were about to come out from his mouth were all pushed back down to his throat. Since she had already recovered from their exercise earlier in the bathroom, she was ready for a celebratory love making.
"Mhmm... I love you, " He chuckled and his words went straight to her mouth as she slowly went on top of her without breaking the kiss.
It was a long, exhausting, full of moans and cums, sultry sweats and body intertwining night for the two of them. They made love until all their stamina went to zero— not caring about tomorrow's duties.
