The CEO’s Lovely Wife - Chapter 264

“Mm. Okay.” October said, her voice that was usually flat-toned and devoid of emotion was now filled with affection with a hint of shyness. ‘I wanted to say “I miss you” but that would be too embarrassing.’

She did not know when she started to be too clingy to Lexus. Was this because of her pregnancy? Or because of her growing affection to her husband? She does not know. However, either way, the man who could only make her feel this kind of emotion, warmth was only this lone man standing before her.

‘His warmth…his stable breathing that sent tingles whenever it hits my b.a.r.e skin…his piercing blue eyes so magnetic I felt like drowning in bliss…’ The corner of her lips started to arc. She just could not stop anymore. That quick peck on her lips was not enough.

Without thinking, in front of other people, in this very street, October pulled Lexus’ tie down. If not because Lexus was caught off guard, he would not have been pulled down so easily. But it was like so and so, with a small hand on the back of his head to keep him in place, October’s lips smashed on his. What’s more was that she initiated to lick his lips with her tongue.

It was not until her tongue nudging his lips that Lexus’ spirit came back to earth that he, with an indulging smile, started to counter her “assault.” Though her kisses was a little clumsy, it was still sweet and cute.

Talk about feeding dog food to all the single spectators. Josh was biting his lower lip as he looked at the couple with envy.

“This…this perfect couple! How can they display their affection in front of me, in front of my store?!” He grumbled with bitterness. But what made him more jealous was the fact that despite him eating dog food, he still could not help but look at this gorgeous couple.

“What…” Zhihuan felt like his ears were bleeding but now his eyes too were bleeding! The sense of having something important from him was lost. It was a terrible feeling and yet he does not know why he was feeling this. And then, his anger flared.

Having to see his ex-girlfriend have a go with some other guy in front of him made him furious. He does not like it at all. His face became livid and his fists trembled in anger.

‘No other man has any resolve in approaching such a boring woman aside from me. No one else can touch her.’ What made him more furious was that he had barely touched October when they were together. Heck he did not even hold hands with her!

But was that even October’s problem? It was, in fact, his own fault. He liked her only for her looks, a beautiful vase to be put right beside him. And that was it. He would look at other girls because they were soft and warm, unlike October who always had on a plane looking face without emotions. To him, she was someone who was hard to approach, cold, and had a hard heart.

Yet he did not even ask himself, why did October even accepted to be in a relationship with him if she does not have any interest in him?

“Lanna.” Zhihuan called with coldness and anger in his voice. He even deliberately raised his voice just to stop the couple from continuing in showing their lo—no, their attention for each other. He walked toward the couple with heavy footsteps and grave look.

Josh was already a step too late when he noticed Zhihuan’s actions.

“Who is this man?” Zhihuan glared at the man hugging October as if he was afraid that she would run away from him. ‘Tch. This guy…holding her with his dirty hands!’

“You, let go of her right now.” Zhihuan rushed to the couple and pulled October on one hand and pushed Lexus with the other. At least, that was what he planned to do.

Before his fingers could even touch October’s shoulder, his hand was slapped away so hard that his hand got pushed away significantly. The area of his hand that was slapped burned but Zhihuan did not care about that, he did not notice even.

His widened eyes looked at Lexus before his face contorted into an ugly scowl, ruining his cool good-looking face.

‘This person…he’s more good-looking than me. No! He’s just in a suit that’s why he looked neat but that’s all. If I wear a suit, I’m confident I can pull it off splendidly than him.’ Zhihuan gritted his teeth.

“You—”

“Don’t touch my wife so casually with that stinky hand of yours.” Lexus squinted his eyes that darkened dangerously. This even made all the people to quiver in fear and sweated a bucket of cold sweat. “Tch. Ruining my time with my wife.”

‘This bastard! This was even the first time that my wife initiated a kiss in public and he just has to ruin it all. Fck! Does he want to die?’ Soon, his eyes landed on Josh who instantly flinched as soon as his cold eyes landed on his masculine body.

Josh immediately shook his head. Heck he doesn’t want to be on the bad side of this demon. He’d rather go capture a cobra than be at the mercy of Lexus because if it’s a snake, at least it’s only a bite and there’s antidote for it. But Lexus? He does not know what kind of torture he would experience and just thinking about the unknown was terrifying.

“Wife?!” Zhihuan hissed. ‘Who is your wife?!’

Although Zhihuan felt like there was a blade thrusted on his neck, he swallowed his fear, gritted his teeth as he glared at Lexus. Then, his eyes turned to the woman that was in the arms of Lexus. He felt like the man before him was familiar to him but he does not know where he had seen him.

‘Is he an international model? His eyes are a deep blue. Why didn’t I met him before during my work? Is he new? Tch. No matter, I have to get Lanna away from this bastard.’

Lexus coldly looked at Zhihuan who was staring with great fervor on October. This did not sit well with him.

“Lanna, get away from that bastard.” He hissed. “You let her go!”

“Who are you to call my wife’s name so casually? Do—”

“Zihao, no, Zhihuan.” October turned to look at Zhihuan with indifference on her eyes. There was no emotion on her tone as it remained flat.

‘Zihao? This name sounds so familiar.’ Lexus squinted his eyes while looking at Zhihuan, sizing him up and down before sneering. Then, his eyes flickered, remembering the name “Zihao.”

‘Just a mere toy boy. Not a threat.’

Or so Lexus said. In fact, he was seething in anger in the mere thought that Zihao was October’s ex-boyfriend. Good thing that this stupid boy was blind and let go of October which led to him meeting his wife.

October noticed Lexus’ muscles tensing up. She gave his arms a pat to reassure him that she was alright.

“Lanna, why are you with this guy? He is just a man who only has good looks. If its about wealth, I can also give you that. Anyway, let’s go.” Zhihuan again reached to grab ahold of October’s arm but his hand was slapped away for a second time. This flared his anger intensified with annoyance.

October furrowed her brows and her eyes shone a flame of fury while looking coldly at Zhihuan. She really does not know what her mind was thinking into accepting that shallow confession from this guy. Well, she was really stupid at that time. This was also clear when her best friend who she sees as her sister was in fact a total snake who seduced her father.

Zhihuan felt his scalp going numb while being stared darkly by October. This was the first time that October was looking at him with emotion, but this was not at all the emotion he wanted to get from.

‘But what kind of emotion do I want from her?’

Elise paced back and forth in the restaurant that she had booked for her dinner date with Zhihuan. However, he was still nowhere to be found.

‘Where is he? Why isn’t he picking up his phone? Even my texts are not opened.’

The longer she wait, the more she became restless. There was the feeling in her that made her guts churn. She felt really uncomfortable.

She bit her nail for a while deep in thought. Her brows furrowed tightly until it connected. She dialed his number for the last. He did not pick up.

Elise did not wait anymore as she got her bag and turned to leave while looking at her phone to track Zhihuan’s location.
