Wei Fang feigned a sheepish laugh, "I would not dare call it friends.h.i.+p, more like acquaintances . Mr . Li and I did not exactly have what we call a 'good' relations.h.i.+p . " He air quoted jokingly .

"Oh I see, that's a shame . I would've love to meet the famous Lillie Bai in person . I'm sure Fang-er is also interested to meet the future Mrs . Li . " He sighed .

"To tell you the truth, Lillie Bai was actually a dear friend of mine . She was my cla.s.smate back in middle school . " Wei Fang casually said . "Though I'm afraid she no longer recognize me . "

Mr . Ming's eyes visibly brightened . "Your friend you say?"

"En . Lillie and I had a special relations.h.i.+p when we were young . She was so much different back then, so I did not recognize her as Lillie Bai . " Wei Fang feigned a sad tone .

He saw Mr . Ming rub his bearded chin with a thoughtful expression . "I'm sure Miss Bai would be delighted to see an old friend . And if it's just as you say that she does not recognize you, how about we make her remember you?"

Wei Fang shook his head, sighing . "I'm afraid that cannot be done, Mr . Ming . As we just saw, the two are busy with their date . It'd be impolite to suddenly disturb their night . " He said, highlighting every words .

Advertis.e.m.e.ntMr . Ming and his daughter noticeably went red in embarra.s.sment, remembering how they shamelessly approached Ethan awhile ago .

Under Wei Fang's scrutinizing gaze, they felt uncomfortable on their seats .

Then, Wei Fang stood from after downing the rest of his drink .

"I believe this night has been anything but 'productive' . " He eyed Mr . Ming . "I'm sure my father would be 'delighted' to hear 'everything' that has happened tonight . "

Mr . Ming paled . "F-Fang-er, I-I—"

"Good day, Mr . Ming . " He smiled before turning his back on the gaping father-daughter duo .

His a.s.sistant frantically jogged towards him . Invisible question marks popped on top of his head .

On the restaurant's private balcony, Lillie leaned on the railings as she observed the figure retreating to his car along with his little a.s.sistant .

"What seemed to catch your attention?" Ethan appeared behind her, wrapping his arm around her waist and pulling her towards him .

Lillie sighed in content, snuggling deeper into his warm embrace . "The past . " She said .

"The past?" Ethan repeated .

Lillie hummed . "En . Just watching how silly my past self was . "

"Which one . " He smirked, teasing . Lillie chuckled and lightly pinched his forearm .

"The younger one . " She said . "Can't believe I found myself to like that guy . "

Ethan frowned, clearly upset that Lillie liked someone before him .

The guy who became Lillie's first crush .

"What's so good about him anyway? He's too bright and cheerful . I swear rainbows appear behind him . " He grumbled .

Mirth glinted on her eyes as she let out a soft laugh . Ethan leaned his forehead on her shoulder, relis.h.i.+ng her beautiful smiles, and cheris.h.i.+ng her laughs .

Both her soft and evil laughs, to be honest .

"So, mind telling me what you have planned for your little childhood crush?" Ethan hoped it would be something worst .

"Hmm . . . there is one ploy I had in mind for a long time . " She said .

This perked his interest . Hoh? His wife plan to take down one of his love rival?

He must've saved the world to deserve such amazing wife .

"Is there something I could do to help? He is my rival after all . " He pointed .

Lillie pinched her chin in a thoughtful manner . "Well . . . there isn't much . " She teased .

Ethan frowned like a sad puppy .

She turned around, wrapping her arms on her neck and whispered, "You could just be you . " She smirked, giving him a knowing look .

And with that, Ethan copied her her sly expression .

"I like the sound of that . "
