357 Lunch Together


    “Hey, Christian! You can’tugh at me!” E red at Christian who was stillughing beside her. Her face was flushed with embarrassment.


    Earlier in the studio, she was daydreaming and looking at Christian’s photo. She didn’t know that Christian wasing so Christian saw her while looking at his photo.


    Christian was so happy as if he’d managed to discover a new world, feeling so excited until now.


    E felt even more helpless, Christian keptughing happily all the way to the restaurant because of this!


    What a strange man!


    “Why can’t Iugh?” Christian lowered his head slightly, trying to look serious. But his lips were still curved into a smile that made him look even more handsome.


    E’s face immediately reddened again.


    Compared to E’s current state, you could say Christian’s condition is much better. He’s in a really good mood right now.


    Before, he didn’t know that E really cared about him. E looked indifferent and only paid attention to Nathan. In addition, E never opened herself to anyone, rarely showing her heart to Christian.


    .....


    But apparently, E was secretly watching him too.


    Christian raised his hand and gripped E’s hand tightly.


    “E, I’m so happy. I’ve waited long enough and you finally like me.” Christian wanted to say it when he learned from Nathan that E liked him. But Christian felt that it was not the right time to express his heart.


    He wanted to say it when they were alone, to create a spark between the two of them.


    Now was the perfect time.


    E opened her mouth, but finally swallowed back what she wanted to say.


    She feared that her decision would make Christian very angry. She knew that this man hated being abandoned and cheated by others.


    But E had no other choice.


    She could only choose one of the two options Hartono gave her.


    While Christian was looking at the menu book in the restaurant, E said slowly, “Christian, I want to return this.”


    Christian took his eyes off the menu book and saw the ck card in front of him. His hand holding the menu book involuntarily tightened.


    This woman did not ept his gift.


    At first, their rtionship was fine. E didn’t say anything like returning this card to him.


    But when he saw her movements, for some reason Christian felt like E wanted to break up with him.


    “What do you mean?” Christian could sense E’s turbulent feelings and asked what happened to her.


    “Christian, you…” E suddenly lost the ability to speak.


    The rtionship between them finally improved. Christian’s presence made her feel safe andfortable. But how long can they be like this?


    How long can she feelfortable if Hartono still exists and will destroy everything?


    If she’s crushed, not only herself, everyone around her would fall victim too.


    Christian looked into E’s face and felt relieved that she didn’t say anything. If he didn’t hear it directly from E’s mouth, he would assume there was nothing between them.


    He took out a blue velvet box and immediately regained hisposure before looking at E with a smile on his face.


    “I bought a present for you today. I think this suits you very well.”


    He took the ring out of the box. The ring design was very simple. The diamond in the ring was not very big and stood out, but showed its high quality.


    E looked at the man in front of her with a confused face.


    This was the first time she had seen the man so serious as if he was afraid to drop what he was holding in his hand. He put the ring into E’s hand very carefully, as if her hand was also made of diamonds that could not be scratched.


    After that, the man’s voice rang in her ears. “I already told you. If you wear this ring, you will be mine. You can’t have sex with other men. You understand, right?”


    When Christian ced the ring in E’s hand, the atmosphere was warm and romantic. E almost drowned in it. But the man’s cruel words pulled her back to reality.


    That man… was still the same as before.


    But E still couldn’t hide the joy in her heart. She was really touched by Christian’s gift.


    Christian rarely bought anything for her. But every time he bought something, Christian would choose it very carefully as if he was really thinking about E.


    “I don’t have any rtionship with other men.”


    E’s eyes glowed as she studied the ring on her finger. Her lips curled into a faint smile.


    At this moment, she heard a voice in her heart. A very clear voice.


    She didn’t want to part with Christian.


    “Christian, if one day I can’t resist the temptations of others and leave you, don’t me me,” E said half-jokingly.


    Hearing her words, Christian frowned. “What do you mean?”


    E wouldn’t say this without a reason. “It’s nothing.”


    E tilted her head, looking a little childish, unlike her usual self. She exuded innocence on her usually charming face. But that innocence looked seductive in Christian’s eyes


    “E, are you teasing me?”


    Christian gasped. He took E’s hand and held it. He looked at the ring in the woman’s finger, feeling very satisfied.


    “When are you going to buy me a ring?”


    “I can’t afford it,” E directly said.


    Christian looked at her in annoyance and said, “You can buy them in cheap shops. I’ll still ept it.”


    Even though Christian said it, E could hear the disdain in his words.


    She felt a fake ring was inappropriate for someone as extraordinary as Christian. If people found out he was wearing a fake ring, everyone wouldugh at him.


    But maybe no one would ever know. Seeing Christian’s identity, no one would think that the ring was a fake.


    “Promise me!” Christian said, looking at E’s face.


    E could only helplessly nod.


    The two of them chatted for a while and then enjoyed their meal. As Christian escorted E back to the studio, a figure appeared suddenly.


    “E, I will kill you!”


    Suddenly a woman’s scream was heard. Christian reacted quickly and immediately pulled E in his arms.


    E couldn’t see anything, she could only hear the sound of cloth tearing.


    Loud noises suddenly rang in E’s ears, the sound when Christian’s bodyguards knocked the mad woman down.


    Whenever Christian went outside, he always brought some bodyguards with him. Before the woman could approach E, Christian’s bodyguards rushed over to her and restrained her.


    “Are you okay?” Christian asked the woman in his arms nervously. Never had he felt this worried.
