Chapter 20: Just An Acquaintance

Vibrant white skin...pouty pink lips...long lashes...silky and bright, ash-blonde locks.

*Sigh*, could anyone be as perfectly beautiful as this angel?

Ethan eagerly examined the sleeping flower next to him as if she was a rare artifact in display.

Lillie and Ethan boarded their flight to Japan two hours ago and Lillie was sleeping the whole time.

"Hm..." Lillie uttered, her eyes slowly fluttered open. Ethan then quickly averted his gaze elsewhere.

"What time is it?" Her voice was hoarse but that didn't make it sound awful. To the contrary, it sounded 'sexy' to his ears.

"It's 12:06 pm." He casually replied. Lillie hummed.

A tall and beautiful flight attendant went to their side and offered them luxurious snacks,

There was champagne, pastries of different kinds from different places. Lillie picked the chocolate strawberry tiramisu with two macarons on the side.

Ethan just asked for black coffee. The flight attendant couldn't help but be intimidated as she served these heaven-matched couple. Their aura, posture and specially their faces screams GORGEOUS!

Normal people like her wanted to cry blood.

Too perfect!

The flight attendant bowed politely before excusing herself. When she came back to where her other female co-workers were, they were excited to here their friend's experience.

"Too scary...." The flight attendant pitifully admitted.

Flight attendants: "..."

Hokkaido, Japan. In the wonderful city of Sapporo.

"This is where we part, Mr Li, good day." Lillie said and pulled her luggage.

"Wait." Ethan blocked her path. Lillie furrowed her eyebrows.

"What is it?"

"Are you going to stay at a hotel?"

"No, I have someone to pick me up."

He knew it! So she does have a lover in Japan!

Wait, wait...calm down Ethan, you can't just jump into conclusions like that. It isn't like you to believe those baseless rumors.

Yes, that's right. Ethan reassured himself.

"I'll stay with you until your ride arrives." He said, acting like a gentleman is just an excuse for him to see this 'ride' of hers.

Lillie sensed something strange going on with Ethan. She choose to ignored it and let him do whatever he likes.

The two of them stood in front of the airport's entrance. Because of the two's outstanding looks, they've attracted a lot of people.

Fortunately, they were wearing dark sunglasses and casual clothes.

As it was June, it was the start for summer here in Hokkaido. The breeze was cool however the sun was glaring.

Lillie wore a thin, floral dress and a floppy sun hat while Ethan wore a simple white shirt together with a dark blue blazer and denim jeans.

They look as if they came out of a fashion show. Some people ogle at the two while some took pictures, thinking they were superstars of some sort.

"Hello?" Lillie phone rang so she answered. Ethan sneakily moved a bit closer and try to listen to the person she's talking to.

"Yes, I'm already here. I'm with an acquaintance, if you don't mind."

An acquaintance?

An acquaintance?!

Dear wife, you must've forgotten that I am your husband!

...

...to-be...

But still! Can't you at least tell your 'friend' that I am your fiancee? Maybe a friend too or even a close family friend is acceptable compared to an "acquaintance".

What a good Lillie Bai, prepare for your 'punishment' when we get married. I will vent my wrath on you!

Poor Lillie, if she unconsciously angers Ethan for eleven months before their wedding, would she be able to stand the next day?
