The Rise of the White Lotus

533 She showed off for the first time

After Lexi posted something personal for the very first time in a long time, her large fan base including Rika Song and Elliot Gong's fans took notice of Lexi's single update.

Therefore, it obviously bombarded her phone the next morning. Good thing Lexi put it in silent mode because she kept having notifications minutes after she posted Ethan Lu's photo.

"This photo is so sweet~ I want to see more!!"

"Ahh, goddess! Even Mr. Lu will massage her feet!"

"At this rate, I won't find myself a man as sweet as Mr. Lu."

"Guess I'll be single for life too *shrug*"

"A queen will always be a queen."

"UwU Mr. Lu is goddess Lexi's heart

"More interaction please!!"

"Love is in the air~"

"Goddess, thank you for blessing our single hearts early in the morning T.T I'm having mixed emotions about this."

"Ahh, my poor heart~ these two are too cute and the goddess is so sweet~"

"Are we going to ignore the cute friendship of the Taming Heart's leads? My goddess Rika tagging my baby Eli~"

These were just the example of Lexi's comment section and every second, there are new comments that were being added. It made sense because not only Lexi posted on her account, but it was shared by the ever-supportive Rika Song and tagged Elliot Gong's official account.

It wasn't a serious news flash and yet, the lone post took quite the attention of the many. After all, it was Lexi who posted it and her man was the number one top picked "bachelor" in the country.

Upon arriving at the dining table, Ethan Lu saw his wife giggling while staring at her phone. "What are you smiling about, love?" He asked, walking to her side to take a peek of what made her happy early in the morning.

"Morning," Just as Ethan Lu took a glimpsed on the screen, Lexi turned it down as she looked up, assisting herself up a little and placed a soft peck on his cheek.

"Hmm," Narrowing his eyes, Ethan Lu was quite suspicious of this extra sweetness of his wife. Though Lexi was sweet, but rarely.

His wife was hot and cool, after all.

"What?" Staring at his pair of squinted eyes, Lexi raised her brows as she grinned. Just then, the twins along with their nannies arrived at the dining area.

"Hey lovelies, good morning~!" Catching the figures of the nannies carrying the twins from the corner of her eyes, Lexi turned to them and stood, welcoming her main source of happiness.

Meanwhile, Ethan Lu glanced at his wife while approaching the twins before he shifted his gaze to the phone. Pondering for a second, Ethan Lu's curiosity triumphed as he snatched the phone and checked what was his wife was looking at.

When he unlocked her phone, his brows creased seeing loads of comments. Most of them addressing him and Rika Song.

That instant, the corner of his lips curled into a subtle smile as his heart melted. Lexi said nothing to the public about their relationship. Not that he minds as Lexi wanted to keep their relationship private.

Regardless, this gesture of her has moved his heart. It was as if she just announced to the world who held her heart and that he was hers alone.

"Sneaky Lexi..." He whispered before he returned her phone from where she initially put it. At the same time, Lexi turned to him — unable to catch that he took a peek of her post last night.

"Love?"

"Yes," He nodded and jogged to them. "Morning pumpkins." He tenderly greeted the twins and carried Evan Lu while Lexi carried Lara Lu.

This was their usual morning routine before dropping the twins to the Yang Mansion with their nannies. Not that grand morning and just like any normal household yet, they were satisfied with this life.

A lot had changed since having the twins. Ethan and Lexi needed to adjust, especially their time because they could not neglect their twins no matter what. So far, they'd been doing well on splitting their strict time for work and family.

With that, Lexi and Ethan Lu ate their breakfast while feeding the twins at the same time. The husband and wife, of course, avoided serious discussions that were not appropriate for the twins to hear.

Thus, Ethan Lu and Lexi mostly talked about silly encounters they had whenever they spent their quality time with the twins — no business-related talks, no scheming character talks, and so on.

"Right, Nico and Andy..." When Lexi was reminded of something to tell to her husband, her phone rang, catching their attention.

Since she already put her social media in a mute so she couldn't get the notifications anymore, she set her phone back to normal. Hence, the reason for hearing the incoming call.

Upon seeing the caller, Lexi excused herself as she brought her phone along with her and headed out to the garden. Meanwhile, Ethan Lu watched the change of his wife's expression hence, he instructed the nannies to watch over the kids before he followed his wife.

"Where's the evidence?" Upon answering the call, Lexi's mood, and tone gradually changed.

"I sent you the place where you can leave the fifty million. After that, you'll receive another location where I left the evidence." A stern voice of the man she talked to yesterday came from the other end of the line. Based on his tone, he didn't sound that excited anymore, which made Lexi's lips curled into a smug smirk.

"No," Shaking her head, a faint chuckle escaped from her mouth. "I want you to personally hand it over to me." She audaciously proposed. Her last remarks, however, were the first thing Ethan Lu heard, which made him furrow his brows.

"Haha, Miss Yang, you're getting bolder, aren't you?" The man scorned. "It's either you follow my instructions or the clips will be sent to someone else." Sounding smug, the man challenged.

"Sure. If you don't want to personally hand it to me, send it to someone who will buy it with a higher price — I don't really care it's not my scandal, anyway." Lexi shrugged as she turned to Ethan Lu, who was puzzled at their conversation.
