"Y-your...wife?" Wei Fang's jaw dropped. Anyone who heard that Lillie Bai and Ethan Li were actually married, wouldn't they also have the same reaction as his? Or maybe worst? They would've checked their calendar and mark it 'doomsday'.

No one would expect such development. These two fought like cats and dogs. Now they are Wu and Yue in the same boat! [1] ​​

The Business World would need to hold tightly to their companies. Heavens know what intentions these two are brewing for them.

His wife? Lillie raised her head and gave him a puzzled look. Seeing her scrunched up eyebrows, Ethan send her a wink while Wei Fang was busy with his thoughts.

"Yes, she is. And would you mind scooting? You're ruining our night with your presence." Harshly being ridiculed, Wei Fang was not offended. In fact, he was embarrassed.

Wonder why Ethan and Wei Fang are not in good terms? Let's say someone made a research about a certain someone in her middle school days and found out that she used to have a wee bit of a crush to a certain carefree, happy-go-lucky guy.

He did not like it one bit.

With the information he gathered, he found out that Wei Fang was the reason for Lillie's change of personality. If only Ethan was her classmate back in middle school, he could've prevented everything.

Lillie meeting her childhood sweetheart after so many years, he'll be damned if he ever let him enter her life again. He's not letting that happen, over his dead body.

Wei Fang was used in hearing Ethan's harsh and cold words. He knew Ethan since he was young because of their fathers, who were business partners. As the heir to their company, Wei Fang's father sometimes brought him to HL Corp and let him watch the whole business interaction for future insights. He was also told to make friends with HL corp's heir, Ethan Li.

However, on their first meeting, Ethan already has a strong feelings of dislike towards him. Ethan didn't know why he would be wary every time he sees him.

Today, Ethan knew why. That hate was for this very moment and also on the day he found about his relationship with his wife.

"O-oh, I'm sorry about that. Then, I'll be going now. Goodbye, Lillie."

Ethan's face darkened.

Already calling her nickname? Who gave you the audacity to call my wife, Lillie?! It should've been Mrs. Li!

"Mr. Wei." Lillie called to stop him.

Not only Wei Fang who was confused, Ethan too.

"Yes?" He turned around.

"Would you mind if you keep this a secret?" Wei Fang shuddered at her coldness.

"No, no, I wouldn't. Your secret's safe with me."

Wei Fang's figure disappeared through the distance, Ethan's shoulders has eased. Now that the pest is gone, he can finally commence his plan. Unfortunately, due to Wei Fang's interference, Ethan was having an awkward time.

His plan was suppose to let Lillie come up the yacht. Music would suddenly play and he will appear on her back with a bouquet of her favorite flowers.

"You were my mysterious suitor all along?" The quiet woman finally spoke and it caused shivers to run down his spines.

"Y-yeah."

"Hm. I've guessed it along the day." Lillie was too caught up with her thoughts that she didn't decode the name of the sender properly. The code was child's play to Lillie, she didn't even needed a paper and pen.

The H W K D Q

'E' F G H. 'T' U V W. 'H' I J K. 'A' B C D.

E T H A N.

"So, mysterious suitor, what plans do you have for me today?" Lillie coiled her arm around his. A small smile bloomed into her face that made Ethan's heart flutter.

"You will have to follow me first now, wouldn't you?"

"Of course."

Ethan had led Lillie on the magnificent yacht. The music was played and the flowers were sought. Like a true gentleman, Ethan pulled the chair for her.

The yacht began to sail through the sea. Leaving only him, her, and the hokage helmsman. [2]

"You have a lot of explaining to do."
