Chapter 25: I Should Probably Wear Complicated Clothes More Often

"Lillie-chan, you want to go to the festival with me tonight?" Haruka's eyes sparkled as she asked Lillie.

"I can't and so do you. We're not done with the game's developments yet." Lillie strictly replied.

"Awww come on~ Let this day be a rest day! We've been inside this damn computer lab for a day! Also, I think your dear hubby missed you already." Haruka whined and pouted.

Indeed they were inside this mansion's computer laboratory for a day. Ethan went to check on something with the Japanese branch company's progress.

You could imagine the terrified faces of the employees when they saw their CEO suddenly barge in without prior announcement.

They already knew that their CEO was in Japan as news spreads faster than lighting in the industry.

The main branch already warned them that Mr Li was in Japan but never thought he'll be visiting the branch.

They thought he was busy with his lover...

Ethan drove the car he borrowed from Haruka back to the mansion. When he entered, he saw Lillie coming out, wearing a black and purple, floral yukata [1] with gold designs.

Her hair was curled and was pined into a low, messy bun. Her hair was decorated by a single rose hairpin.

Haruka was by her side, gushing with awe and praises on how gorgeous Lillie looks.

Ethan was frozen.

Haruka saw him at the entrance and couldn't help but giggle with a sly glint in her eyes.

"Ethan, great timing! I've brought a yukata for you too!" Haruka teleported in front of him and eagerly pulled him towards a room and pushed him in.

"The yukata on the bed is for you, hurry up! You don't want to keep Lillie waiting." Haruka knew how much Lillie hates tardiness the most.

Because of how fast things happened, Ethan slowly processed everything.

Putting on the yukata with an absent mind, hearing Haruka spoke about Lillie's dislike about tardiness, he snapped out of his trance and hastily put on the yukata provided for him.

Exiting the room, he heard Haruka bursting in laughter.

Guess he was too anxious.

Lillie was slightly amused as she saw how disheveled the usual poised and stoic Ethan Li was. His velvet, jet black hair was standing up at different directions.

Also, the way he wore his yukata, people would think he was a male courtesan [2]. With the yukata's sash improperly tied and loose, it showed his muscular pecks and his broad shoulders.

Ethan was embarrassed but his facial expression didn't show it as he 'tried' to fix his clothes.

Haruka's stomach hurt so much because of laughing.

'Oh man, if I took a picture of this and sell it, my family would live in riches for many generations without working!'

Lillie shook her head before coming to his rescue.

Lillie went to his back and untied his sash. Her arms encircled to his front and closed the yukata properly before retying it.

Ethan was afraid that Lillie would hear or feel his heart beating so fast. When her arms encircled his body, he felt like he was in heaven.

Because Ethan is a big man, Lillie had to press herself against his back to reach the front.

Ethan extremely lucky as he got to feel her warm body and also a pair of soft melons rubbing against his back.

*sigh* what a lovely experience that was. I should probably wear complicated clothes more often.

"Fix your hair." She already did his clothes, she do not want to fix his hair too because even though Lillie was taller than the average woman, looking at how tall Ethan is...it'll be too awkward for her to reach.

Ethan simply run his fingers through his hair, pushing it back. His hair was still unruly than his usual style but it made him look hot, like those bad boys.

Haruka, who watched the whole scene, couldn't help but rethink her decision.

'Lillie-chan, you have to be considerate to your single friend! Don't act so lovey-dovey in front of me!'
