The scumbag

"What a groggy dumpling..." Ethan Lu murmured as he stared at Churu on the couch of his office. 

He hasn't heard her report from last night because Churu wasn't in her right state of mind. Despite her current state, Ethan Lu respected her time to grasp whatever she has in mind. 

Perhaps, the news she discovered following Louis Lu was too much hence, she became like this. Although Ethan Lu was worried, he didn't want to press about it now. 

Until she recovered and regain her cheerful self, Ethan Lu would be patient. After all, even if his enemies were scheming behind his back like usual, he trusted that Churu wouldn't let that get out of hand.

To him, he sort of assumed the reason why Churu was protecting him. It was probably because she was originally Lexi's guide. Thus, after seeing what happened after his supposed death — both Churu and Ethan Lu had the mutual goal of him surviving.
