Chapter 113 I have no say to him.
The call went on for a short time before Ethan finally bid his farewell.
"I\'m near my destination so, I have to hang up now." With great reluctance, Ethan Lu uttered. On the line, Lexi didn\'t immediately respond as she tried to absorb Ethan\'s obvious lies.
"Uh… alright." With that said piece, the call was cut short.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Ethan put down his phone as he patted his chest to calm his racing heart. After his unplanned consultation with his dear friend Chris Yu, Ethan had to treat the matter with great importance.
Hence, he recalled all the past scenarios with Lexi; her smiling face, her usual snob front, the fact that she was full of surprises, and how she made him feel content with just being with her -- Ethan could not help but scream inwardly.
If what Chris Yu said were all true then, Ethan indeed fell for Lexi! However, thinking about her connection with Morris Liu and the unbending obstacle of his Lu family -- Ethan could not help but feel his head throb in pain.
Just what did he get himself into? Falling in love wasn\'t what distress him, but the person he fell in love with! How could he heedlessly offer friendship and even shamelessly urged her to call him big brother if he\'s going to fall in love with her?
Furthermore, he fell for Lexi for god sake! Ethan was clear that pursuing the girl and hoping to get her sweet \'yes\' was more impossible than a pig to fly.
"Aish!! I\'m so dumb! So dumb! So dumb!!" Stomping his feet in annoyance, Ethan grumbled.
He had never felt this frustration in his entire life. That is why he needed some peace of mind. However, even if he wanted to just go awol. -- he was concerned that Lexi might think that he abandoned her without a word.
Surely, this action of his only added to his frustrations as it only miss her more!
"Young master… why are you doing this? Are you tired of working so you\'d be willing to convert into a monk now?" As usual, the most affected person of Ethan\'s abrupt decision for soul searching was his loyal assistant; Lyrick Jiang. If he could weep right here and now, he would.
Lyrick Jiang was beyond mind-boggled when Ethan Lu exited the lounge where his secret meeting took place. He, of course, followed his young master but to his dismayed, Ethan dropped an enormous bomb saying; "Clear my schedule for a whole month -- I have to go soul searching.
Everything happened so fast as Ethan hastily dropped off to a luxury mall. At first, Lyrick Jiang thought that this was the soul searching Ethan Lu was referring but he was rendered speechless when Ethan headed to an elegant boutique for women.
Everything that caught his boss\'s eyes was immediately wrapped. Unfortunately, Ethan seemed to be on the brink of insanity as he only sent a few of them while the rest were carried by Lyrick Jiang. After that, Ethan went to a famous flower shop and bought all the flowers. However, just like what he did on his first purchase -- he only sent one bouquet, the rest must be carried by the heroic Lyrick Jiang, again.
Lyrick Jiang was curious who was the recipient but to no avail, Ethan Lu personally filled up the form and privately talked to the shop management as if the address was the nation\'s classified information.
Just when Lyrick Jiang thought that his young master\'s tantrums were done and he\'d go back to his productive self -- Ethan Lu announced that he\'d stay in a temple. His assistant almost collapsed as his boss was dead serious. How about his important arrangements in the next several days? Should he really need to cancel all of them?
Ethan didn\'t utter a single word with him as his boss talked to himself and now, they are near a mountain temple while his boss was still letting out his frustrations.
"Shhh! I have to clear my mind to work properly -- tell that to Gramps." Ethan Lu inhaled then heavily exhaled to calm his exasperated mind. Looking up at the steep, mountain stairs towards the peaceful temple he usually goes whenever he needed some peace, a glint of determination flashed across his eyes.
Indeed, right now, Ethan Lu could not think properly and whenever he feels like this, he always goes in this place for a breather. After this, Ethan Lu was certain that he could find his answers and things he must take -- whether it leads to breaking his sacred bro code or not, he was sure that whatever decision he would come up with, Ethan could decide with a clear head.
"Alright." He murmured before he started taking a stride towards his destination. On the other hand, Lyrick Jiang dragged his heavy feet and followed his young master. By the looks of it, he gave up on trying to stop his boss as nothing seemed to waver his determination.

"When is he planning to come back chu?" Churu instigated in dismay as right now, she wanted to drag Ethan and make him stare at Lexi for his soul searching.
"I don\'t know." With her brows knitted together, Lexi shook her head as she put her phone down on the bedside before she started checking the gifts Ethan sent her. In one of the paper bags, a subtle smile formed on the side of her lips as she saw a folder.
Picking it up, Lexi began flipping its page. The routine and her diet meals she must take for the whole month was already written there. For some reason, she felt touched by this seemingly simple gesture more than the luxurious dresses.
"That guy… I have no say to him." Lexi chuckled as she was speechless by his effort. Aside from her parents, Lexi never had someone to exert such effort without asking anything in return.
