Chapter 515

Both Churu and Lexi were surprised seeing his passionate complaint regarding the difference between Lexi’s former system and his . Based on his reaction earlier, they were certain that he was disappointed .

However, by the looks of it, Ethan Lu was displeased at the fact that he didn’t have the same exciting system . Although Battle of Life was what he needed, his wants were that the same Otome Love System .

“You’re not mad?” Churu innocently blinked her eyes as she asked .

“Huh? Why would I?” Stopping from his series of complaints, Ethan Lu glanced at the dumpling perching on the table . “Anyway, good job . ” Ethan Lu offered his knuckles for a fist bump .

Though appalled at his reaction, Churu willingly bumped in his fist by hers . Little did she know, Ethan Lu recalled her statement “shooting love arrows since day one” yesterday .

Hence, Ethan Lu somehow understood Churu’s proud statements yesterday . Nevertheless, he truly owed Churu a lot — not just because she saved him yesterday but also, for pushing Lexi to him and playing as their cupid .

“Ethan, are you sure you’re not mad? I mean, I’m not really that honest to you while you’ve been transparent to me ever since . ” Confused, glad, and curious, Lexi muttered .

If she was in Ethan Lu’s shoes, she probably needed a day to process everything . After all, knowing that she only let him inside her life at first, was because she was forced to do the tasks she needed to accomplish .

“Hmm . . . ” Ethan Lu pondered as he produced a long humming . “If I look at that perspective, it’s quite disappointing . However, my love . . . ” Slowly, Ethan Lu stood as he took light steps towards her .

Placing his palms on the armrest, Ethan Lu leaned down as he drew closer to her . When his face was inches away from hers, he spoke; “Even if you stand naked in front of me, if I don’t like you, I’d never fall for you nor will I ever touch you — no matter what you do . ” A sly smirk formed on the side of his lips .

Lexi could see the cunningness of his eyes and yet, a touch of happiness glinted across his pair of dark eyes .

“What I’m saying is, the only thing you did for the system is to let me linger around you . The falling in love part, that’s our responsibility . Have I told you the reason why I fell for you?” Ethan Lu tilted his head to the side as he watched Lexi’s front slightly flush — it was barely noticeable but, after being with her for a long time, he could see through her .

Even the beat of her heart, Ethan Lu seemed he could hear it . Lexi was good at concealing her emotions with her poker face . But, even if she does let him see her genuine side, only he has the ability to go beyond and feel the sincerity of her soul .

“Because it’s you . ” Slowly, his eyes softened as he memorized Lexi’s facial features and thought to spot any difference from their “four years” separation .

Lexi, stared at the kind and gentle person smiling inches away from her . Her heart melted, upon hearing his reason .

He told her many times, that she couldn’t even count, of how much he loved her . He already complimented her numerous times and even shout how lucky he was being her man .

However, Lexi never really gave a thought about why does he love her so much . If someone asked why she loved him, perhaps, Lexi would give them a long list that was longer than a novel .

But Ethan, his answer was short . It has no complicated answer, no long backstories, and long compliments . Yet, that simple three-word response has thousands of untold stories to tell .

Regardless, everything goes down to “HER” .

Perhaps, his answer was the answer of many couples on why they chose and kept choosing their partners: they would probably also answer the simple “because it’s you,” as well .

“Well, that’s my cue I guess . ” Sensing the built-up spring on the atmosphere, Churu whistled and with a poof, she disappeared . Still, before Churu left, a satisfied smile form on her lips .

“How can you be so kind and sweet?” Lexi helplessly sighed as she smiled . “Sometimes, I ask myself if you’re actually real because you’re too good to be true . ” She humored .

Her hands slowly reached for his firmed cheeks as she leaned closer . “I can find out, can I?” 

“Hmm,” Humming a tune, Ethan Lu voluntarily leaned closer and gently pressed his lips against her .

It was just a ten seconds peck and yet, both Ethan and Lexi were satisfied with it as his forehead rested on her forehead .

“Did you find out that I’m an alien?” He humored which made her chuckle .

“I did . ” She humored back along with the waves of their lovely chuckles .

“What? No, I should prove that you’re wrong!” Retracting his head, Ethan Lu grinned and without further ado, he carried her on her waist that made her squeal .

“No, I’m sure you’re an alien!” In between her peals of laughter, Lexi continued to tease him as both of them crashed to the long sofa .

Ethan on top of her tickled her as he forced her to take her playful accusations back . After a minute, he stopped as he lovingly stared at his wife .

“Mrs . Lexi Lu, I love you . ” Out of the blue, he expressed his feelings for her .

He already said these words as many times he repeated a sentence in his entire life . Each time, the meaning of these three words weigh heavier and deeper — along with his sincerity to love her for the rest of his life .

Ethan Lu, he would never get tired of saying it to her and hearing the same words be uttered by her lips . Although at first, he thought that these words were an understatement but actually, the longer he repeated them, the more he understood what it meant to love someone; as well as the responsibility and obligations when you said these words to someone .

“I love you too, Mr . Ethan Lu . ” An answer full of affection and sincerity, Lexi responded as she leaned her head forward and placed a peck on his lips .

Their relationship and marriage life, it wasn’t perfect— it was actually far from that . They had bad days, a busy schedule to follow, a career to pursue, and so on so forth .

However, those were all nothing if they were in the right person, right time, and right love .
