Chapter 361 - Easy To Bully?!

'Lu Sera?!'

The man glaring at the iPad's screen with his steely gray orbs let out a gasp in utter shock.

Shaking his head with a light smile playing about his thin and seductive lips, Lucifer placed the iPad away on the uncluttered desk.

"Ah~ This girl.. Always tickling my heart to a mess!"

Mumbling softly, Lucifer's voice hid a hint of doting. His gray eyes glinting brilliantly, while his striking face was blushing, ever so lightly.

The name, 'Lu Sera' would've been just a simple name if not for the stalk of red rose in between the two words.

It resembled the delicately crafted red crystal pendant dangling in Sera's swan like neck. Except for the small leaf along with the thorn, everything else was exactly similar to the pendant.

That one thing indicating that it isn't just a simple name but a declaration of their love to the world, albeit discreetly.

By doing this, Sera was subtly involving the man in her dream project as well as her life but on a larger scale. Making Lucifer an integral part of her dreams and aspirations, including her own life.

It was something bigger and better than a mere confession of three words - 'I love you'.

For the two words in the gallery's name - 'Lu Sera' - they can either spell out the short form for her own name, 'Seraphina Lu' or 'Seraphina' as well as the 'Lu' family in whole - on their own, even without the red rose.

It was veritably smart of Sera to name the art gallery 'Lu Sera', like this she'd easily struck three birds with one stone.

"Looks like, the gift for tonight has to be as exquisite as her surprise.."

Smiling like the handsome devil that he was, Lucifer chuckled before muttering to himself.

White Meadow

Ethan Lee's heart skipped a beat.

The man's silver-white custom made suit was inadvertently matching with Xia Ruo Lan's purple qipao with silver thread work. They looked like a couple!

Shaking his head, Ethan Lee soon realized that there was another person there, apart from Xia Ruo Lan.

Standing beside Xia Ruo Lan was none other than Su Yin. With an imperceptible smirk dancing on her lips she eyed Ethan Lee with interest.

"Hello, Mr Lee.. How are you doing?"

Not missing the traces of ridicule in Su Yin's voice, Ethan Lee still kept a smile on his face. Returning her smile.

"Ms Su, I'm doing great. It's nice to see that you're having fun as well.."

On the side, Xia Ruo Lan had a confused expression as she witnessed their weird interaction. Her beautiful pair of black eyes darting from the nonchalant Ethan Lee to the impishly grinning Su Yin. Like a naughty little kitten upto some mischief.

"Of course! All thanks to Mr Lee and Ms Xia's efforts.. You guys make a great team! - Of two"

As expected, nothing simple came out of Su Yin's mouth. Her words left the duo stunned, especially when she stressed the words 'great team - of two'.

Clearing his throat awkwardly, Ethan Lee replied in a normal tone, much to Su Yin's displeasure. She wanted him to snap at her and blurt out his feelings for Xia Ruo Lan.

"Th.. Thank you so much for your kind words, Ms Su!"

Before Su Yin could say or do anything outrageous again to infuriate the man, Xia Ruo Lan hurriedly came to Ethan Lee's rescue.

Tugging onto Su Yin's hand, Xia Ruo Lan turned to glance at the crowd near the platform, searching for Sera.

Once Sera was spotted, Xia Ruo Lan came up with an excuse to distract Su Yin from Ethan Lee. She was even pulling at the latter's hand.

"Su Yin! Let's.. Let's go that side, look, Sera is there.."

Realizing what Xia Ruo Lan was trying to do, Su Yin felt quite troubled. Still, she didn't expose her but decided to play along, and spare Ethan Lee for the time being.

"Alright, let's go.. I'll see you later Mr Lee!"

Cocking a brow at the man, Su Yin's lips curved into a sweet smile, which appeared somewhat provoking.

Grunting in reply, Ethan Lee stiffly smiled at Su Yin. He darted a glance at Xia Ruo Lan who appeared flustered.

After they turned around, Ethan Lee was still glaring at the two women. Quite unexpectedly, Xia Ruo Lan turned to look at him, with a smile.

The man was momentarily stunned before slowly mouthing 'thank you'. Xia Ruo Lan nodded her head and blinked at Ethan Lee. Reassuring him.

"What's wrong with her! Am I that easy to bully?!"

Scrunching his nose, Ethan Lee scratched his neck seemingly embarrassed and frightened by Su Yin's penetrative gaze. So scary, it could make one feel the creeps.

"Seraaa..!! You were amazing, fantabulous, stupendous!!!! I love you.. You are truly fantastic!"

Almost glomping on the petite Sera, the elated Su Yin hugged her while moving her lips. She was unintentionally attracting attention from the people around with her loud voice.

The trio - Lu Jinan, Lu Shanshan, and Anna Lu shook their heads, laughing, while Xia Ruo Lan chuckled lightly. She was surely having a fun time with Su Yin and Sera these few days.

Meanwhile, Francis Lu was standing far away, busy chatting and entertaining his friends with glee. All smiles, and singing praises of his daughter, Seraphina Lu.

"Su Yin!"

On the side, Su Yin's father, Su Bo Ying roared in a low voice making everyone laugh.

*ahem*

Coughing awkwardly, Su Yin cleared her throat and smiled at her father, blushing red. Snorting, Su Bo Ying gently patted her head.

"Dad!"

Scrunching her small face, Su Yin held Sera's hand as she voiced out her confusion.

"Anyway, Sera, I don't understand. What's with this simple name 'Lu Sera'..? We thought it was something big, the way you were so secretive about it.."

Playfully knocking Su Yin's forehead with his knuckles, Lu Jinan expounded with a grin.

"Oi! It's not simple.. It's her identity, my sister's identity as the daughter of Lu family!"

Rubbing her forehead with her palm, Su Yin nodded in slow-mo as though trying to absorb his words. Her expression that of enlightenment.

"Oooh.. Like that? So, the 'Lu' in 'Lu Sera' is actually the Lu family? My God! That's deep.."

Lowering her head, Sera had a sly gleam in her bright eyes as she muttered under her breath.

"Hmm.. Deep indeed!"
