The Rise of the White Lotus

Lexi saw him jolted from where he sat. His usual flashy aura transformed into dark air surrounding him. The bags under his eyes were screaming lack of sleep or rather, he seemed he hadn't slept at all! Overall, Ethan was akin to a person who's on the brink of sanity as he hastily made his way towards Lexi.

Stepping back with every step he takes, Lexi put her arms up while lowering her head as if her slim arms were enough to hide her panic-stricken figure. She heard Churu's statement earlier but Lexi didn't dwell on it further as she was well-versed of the cute little dumpling's antics. Indeed, Churu might not lie about the fact that Ethan and her, didn't have sex but… Churu certainly left more important details behind!

"Wha, wha, what?" Lexi stuttered in fright from the monster coming at her.

Ethan came into a full stop several steps away from her, he chuckled with a demonic tone. 

"Ha ha ha! What you say?" Ethan Lu's hand raised and his fingers made a crackling sound as he scrutinized Lexi's frightened figure. It was as if he was pondering what part of her he should dismember and sacrifice to God almighty. 

"You… Lewd Yang, dare forget what happened last night huh?!" For everyone's information, Ethan Lu had been thinking of ways how to punish this naughty girl all night!

----

[More occurrence last night]

After Ethan had a long shower to fight his little junior and cooling his heated body, he contacted the Yang residence to inform that Lexi was with him and would be unable to go home for some reasonable excuse.

Fortunately, her parents trusted Ethan Lu that much and thanked him for looking after her. After his brief phone call, Ethan Lu asked Manager Kang to run some errand for him.

"Young Master Lu, these are the medicines and tea you asked for," Unlike his unstable reaction earlier, Manager Kang seemed he recovered from his shock earlier. He placed the small brown paper bag full of hangover medicines on top of the small table in the lobby. 

Ethan Lu glanced behind Manager Kang. There, a middle-aged female employee bowed her head in respect to Ethan Lu.

"Take care of her and changed her clothes to comfortable ones," Ethan Lu exasperatedly ordered while massaging his temple. His command was immediately executed as the woman in her early 40's headed to the master's bedroom with a bag full of new clothes for Lexi.

Manager Kang remained standing in his position as he gravitated about something. Ethan Lu probably sensed the reluctance Manager Kang emitted hence, he slightly raised his demoralized gaze on the much distress Manager Kang.

"Spill it,"

Manager Kang coughed as he knew he was caught instantly from Ethan Lu. Clearing his throat, he hesitantly reported. 

"Young Master, I received a report that your Uncle was on his way here." Slightly raising his eyes to meet Ethan's displeased countenance, Manager Kang gulped another mouthful of saliva. He didn't utter a word about the young master of the Lu family, yet, the news quickly reached his kins! How could he not worry about his well being?

Ethan Lu massaged the back of his shoulder as he stretched his neck in a circular motion. He had enough headache from Lexi's naughty behavior tonight and he wouldn't want to deal with another one.

Letting out a frustrated sigh, Ethan's eyes sharpened as a devilish smirk from the corner of his lips. "Tell him this; Disturb my peace and I'll do the same to him."

Manager Kang's shoulder shuddered that very instant because every word he heard contained a serious threat. However, what made him more conflicted is that he was the one who should relay this message!

'What did I do to deserve this? Young Master, can't you tell that to him instead?' Yet, no matter how Manager Kang grieved for his frail heart, he didn't speak his mind and only nodded like what he should. 

Soon, the female servant exited the master bedroom. She reported, "Young Master, I did what you told me too but… she won't wear anything. So, I only covered her with the sheets" Unlike Manager Kang, the woman was calmer.

Ethan Lu lightly grimaced as he could feel his head throb, yet, he only sighed and weakly waved his hands off. Upon seeing this, both of the Grand Hotel's core employees bowed and dismissed.

"Ahh, whatever… it's not like I would have to enter that room." Ethan mumbled in relief. Since the presidential suite was made for his liking, it only had one enormous bedroom, hence, Ethan would have to sleep on the couch that as big as a single standard mattress.

Alas, one hour had passed, yet, he couldn't sleep! Lexi's face kept on hovering in his head which frustrated him to the maximum level. Ethan was miffed as he sat up and he ruffled his unruly hair. As he looked at the closed door of the master's bedroom, he protested,

"Let me sleep oy!"

Just then, Ethan Lu flinched and gradually gasped seeing that the bedroom door abruptly slid open -- revealing Lexi's naked body! Thankfully, the only source of light was the faint glow from the bright moon through the floor to length window. Therefore, Ethan could vaguely see her bare body.

"Uhh, did Mom rearrange the house? Fridge… where is it?" Lexi mumbled as she was half-asleep and half-conscious. She freely walked out of the bed without any clothes, finding the refrigerator probably to salivate her throat.

"Gaaaad! Give me a break!" Ethan covered his eyes as his blood was reheated. How can she do this to him? Can't she just stay still until she sobered up?

"Sorry, Mr. Main task, I tried to stop her… just enjoy the view, but no touch okay chu?" Churu sympathized with Ethan while she shooked her little head.
