The Rise Of The White Lotus 552 I'd Fall For You If...

"Love, this is the location Nico set up for later's trade." Lexi stood from her swiveled chair and strode toward the long sofa where Ethan Lu perched. 

Since Ethan Lu cancelled all his plans for the day, he had been lazing around at Lexi's office. Of course, since the big boss of the Lu Corporation and the owner of the Battle of Life system was dilly dallying, Churu was also lazying around playing games with him. 

"Oh...!" Not looking at his wife, Ethan Lu continued to play race with Churu as they bought her necessities she might need now like phones, etc. 

"You two, are you planning to just play here?" Lexi arched her brow. Not that Lexi was against it. It was just that these two were too relaxed as if they have nothing to worry about. 

"Yes."

"Yes~!" At the same time, Churu and Ethan Lu answered, still immersed with the game the two were playing. 

Helpless, Lexi ma.s.saged her temples in distress. By the looks of it, these two didn't plan to do anything for the day. 

"Whatever." She conceded in defeat as she placed the note on the desk. "Just meet the guy — I have a meeting to attend to." Lexi shook her head sideways and waved her hand. 

As she arranged her stuff that needed for her later arrangements, Ethan Lu constantly gave her a glance in a hurry. Just as she finished, thankfully, his race with Churu and other players was done. 

"Love, where are you going?!" Putting down his phone, Ethan Lu threw his head to her direction and looked at his wife. 

"Meeting." Lexi picked up her hand bag and put on a poker face. "Why? Do you want to go?" She humored. Her words were meant to be sarcastic yet he took them seriously as she witnessed how his eyes lit up. 

"Of course!" Without a second hesitation, Ethan Lu jolted from the sofa and tugged the hem of his suit. "Where are we going, my Wifey?" He asked excitedly. 

Seeing how diligent her husband was, Lexi's under eye twitched. Right, she should have noticed that he was bored doing nothing. 

After all, Ethan Lu had become used to being busy all the time. Therefore, having suddenly nothing to do — he must've been bored. 

Well, he wouldn't be that bored if Lexi wasn't working herself. If she wasn't working, at the very least, the two of them could play around or have a lazy day with the twins. 

"Yes, where are we going?" Churu was equally excited as Ethan Lu as she jolted from her seat. Since she just got into her current form, Churu wanted to have some exercise as well. 

"You two, do you think we are going to a theme park?" Lexi arched her brows. She altered her gaze from Ethan Lu's das.h.i.+ng front then to Churu's charming bubbly face with those silver eyes and guessed their answer. 

"Definitely, no...?" Shaking their heads in unison, Ethan Lu and Churu denied. 

Well, a theme park wouldn't excite that much. Still, both knew that Lexi's arrangement were always fun and thrilling. 

*****

Although Ethan Lu's car was pretty roomy, With Lyrick Jiang, Jarred Guo, and Nico Zhuang — don't forget Churu — they used Ethan's and Lexi's car. 

One vehicle was occupied with Jarred Guo and Lyrick Jiang in the front seat while the husband and wife on the back. 

On the other hand, Lexi's car was used by Nico Zhuang and Churu. They tailed Ethan Lu's vehicle until they reached their destination, a country club. 

"I didn't know Lexi would go to this kind of places." Churu commented as she stared at the exquisite club that was surely a place for old people in the upper echelon. 

Nico Zhuang cast her a side glance as he parked. He wasn't interested who this person could be or what's her relations.h.i.+p with Lexi but; she sounded as if she was pretty close with Lexi and Ethan Lu. Hence, his interest was piqued. 

Before Lexi and Ethan Lu got officially together, Nico Zhuang had been following them. Therefore, he would know if his masters hanged out with Churu. But within those times, Nico Zhuang never saw Churu until today. 

"Madam's client required her to go to places like this." Bearing zero emotion, Nico Zhuang still briefly explained regardless if he was interested in what's this girl's connection with Lexi and Ethan Lu. 

Gazing at him, Churu blinked her eyes as she scrutinized his side profile. When Nico Zhuang sensed the intent stare, he furrowed his brows and looked back at her. 

"What?"

"Nothing. I just think you're almost perfect that I like in a guy. Handsome, skilled, a nut that is hard to crack and so on," Churu mildly shook her head as she literally complimented Nico Zhuang's positive traits. 

"I'll fall for you if you're not a clean, righteous man." Yet, the rest of her sentence  came out as an indistinct murmur. Well, no one could blame her as Churu was more keen to people who were dangerous. But Nico Zhuang was just dangerous not that type of dangerous she would like.

Still, Nico Zhuang heard her whisper as he has a sharp sense of hearing. "What?" He asked, knitting his brows. 

"Nothing." Churu shrugged before she hitched out of the car where she saw Ethan Lu a.s.sisting Lexi out of the other vehicle. 

"How sweet~" She commented before skipping her steps towards the couple. 

"Who are you meeting in this place?" As Lexi got out, Ethan Lu inquired as this place was rather expensive; he also went in here several times. It was not like Lexi couldn't afford it though — just that the members in here were shady ones. 

"Aubrey Ning." Just stating that name, Lexi knew that Ethan Lu would understand. After all, the said woman preferred grand and private places. 

"Oh..." Nodding his head, Ethan Lu understood before Lexi gestured for them to go inside. 

Meanwhile, as Churu followed, her tracks stopped as she raised her gaze to the establishment front. "Hmm?" Tilting her head to the side, Churu sniffed, which made her frown. 

"This place smells so enticing I don't like it." She murmured, which caught Nico Zhuang's attention.
