Chapter 552: 552
“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 massaged 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 dashing 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 relationship 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 assisting 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 .
