Chapter 369 Not Boyfriend Yet Soon, only Emily and Lucas were left in the room. Under the light, Emilyâs cheeks were red. âWell, donât listen to her nonsense. This girl is sometimes crazy.â âIt doesnât matter.â
Lucas shook his head carelessly, and he was even quite satisfied with what Vivian had done just now.
Just like that, the two of them chatted on and off.
Mason, who had originally planned to call after arriving at the scene, also did not make a move. Needless to say, Emily knew that Mason should have been schemed against by her friend.
She sat on the bed in boredom, propped up her chin, and looked out the window, looking like she wanted to go out.
Lucas sat not far away, handling the company documents while paying attention to her.
For some reason, he felt a little distressed and amused. âHow about I take you out for a walk?â In the end, he went against his original intention and took the initiative to invite her. Emily was stunned for a moment and immediately nodded in agreement.
Then, as if she was afraid that Lucas would go back on his word, she washed up and put on her outfit as quickly as possible. âIâm done. Letâs go.â Emily stood at the door with her handbag and looked at Lucas with a smile. However, Lucas looked at the sweater on her body and frowned. âPut this on before we leave.â
While speaking, Lucas took off his suit jacket and put it on Emilyâs shoulder. At this moment, the two of them were very close.
Emily looked up in a daze and saw the manâs well-defined lower jaw. The tip of her heart trembled fiercely.
As the man retreated, she finally regained her senses.
âThereâs no need for this. Besides, arenât you cold?â
She pulled off the suit jacket she was wearing and was about to return it to Lucas.
However, the corners of Lucasâ lips curled up slightly. He smiled and said, âIâll go to my room and get another coat later. But you have to wear this before I can take you out. I donât want you to fall ill tomorrow.â
At this point, Emily could only wear his suit jacket and go out. After the two of them walked out of the inn, they found that the streets outside were very lively. There were lights everywhere, and the flow of people was also very large.
Several times, Emily was almost squeezed by people, and in the end, it was Lucas who held her in his arms to protect her.
âThank you.â
Emily softly thanked him and somewhat uncomfortably planned to leave Lucasâs arms.
Lucas did not let go. He hugged her waist and said in a low voice, âLetâs just leave like this so we donât get separated.â Almost at the same time, the crowd around them surged again. In order to prevent Emily from being squeezed, Lucas hugged Emily tightly.
At this moment, there was almost no distance between the two of them. Emilyâs cheek was pressed against the manâs chest.
Listening to the strong heartbeat coming from inside, she felt very relieved and safe. After an unknown period of time, the two finally walked out of the crowded crowd and came to a three-way junction.
âWhere do you want to go?â Lucas reluctantly let go of his hand and looked over with his dark eyes.
Hearing this, Emily also forgot the awkwardness just now. She looked at the three intersections and saw a stone arch bridge next to it. Below it was the moat. Someone was squatting by the river to release the river lanterns.
The river lanterns were exquisite and varied in appearance. They flickered with candlelight like stars, drifting on the river, looking very beautiful.
Seeing this, Lucas said dotingly, âAre you going to release it?â âIâm not a child. Thereâs no need.â Perhaps it was because she couldnât let go in front of Lucas, but Emily shook her head and refused. Lucas naturally saw through it and said with his eyes glittering, âSince thatâs the case, then accompany me to do it.â
As he spoke, he walked towards the stone arch bridge. Emily looked at the back of the man who was standing straight, how could she not know that Lucas was finding an excuse for her, and her heart felt warm. She happily chased after him and picked up the river lanterns beside Lucas. The boss thought that the two of them were a couple and took the initiative to promote his product. âTake this. This is for a couple. It means together forever.â
âWe are not...â
Emily knew that the boss had misunderstood and subconsciously wanted to explain. However, before she could finish speaking, a hand reached out from the side and took the lantern that the boss recommended. He asked, âHow much is this?â
â52.â
The boss gave a very sincere price. Lucas nodded. After paying, he pulled Emily towards the river. Although she felt that it was strange to play a couple with Lucas, she still had a good time.
Perhaps it was because both of them were very good-looking, but many of the people present looked at the two of them with ordinary eyes.
Some bold girls even looked at Emily kindly and praised her with a smile.
âMiss, your boyfriend is so handsome.â âMiss is also very beautiful.â
âHandsome man and beautiful woman, really a match.â
Hearing these words, Emilyâs cheeks suddenly became hot, and she was very shy.
She wanted to clarify that Lucas was not her boyfriend yet.
But before she could say anything, a manâs low and pleasant voice came from beside her. âThank you,â he said. When he said this, Emilyâs face became even hotter, and she was a little nervous and doubtful.
Did Lucas say this because he had tacitly agreed with what these tourists said?
