Luna gave it some thought and chased after him anyway.

Since she had to face the music eventually, maybe surrendering herself earlier might get her lighter punishment.

“Please, please don’t get angry,” Luna caught up and stepped in front of Alexander in the courtyard and began to explain slowly, “It’s all a misunderstanding. I didn’t mean what I said.”

Alexander didn’t say anything at all. If he could, he probably would write the words “I’m not happy” on his face.

“Please forgive my little mistakes, oh great President Alexander. Please have mercy on little me.” Luna clapped her hands together and said, “Please?”

Looking at how she was acting like his little lackey, Alexander suddenly wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her toward him. “Which part of me is not doing alright, hm?”

As the ray of sunlight showered on Alexander’s face, his already elegant face became even more beautiful.

Luna was enthralled by his beauty, and didn’t even know what she was saying, “All your parts are not… no, what I mean…”

Before she could even finish her sentence, Alexander’s lips pressed on hers without warning.

“Mm…”

Alexander closed his eyes.

But in just one moment, the young woman in his arms had already given up.

As their breathing became even heavier, a loud voice suddenly came from behind them. “Dear Brother! Sister-in-law! You’re showing off this early in the morning, eh?!”

The two of them separated from each other’s embrace quickly.

Alexander pressed his lips and asked with a slightly raspy voice, “You’re back? Where’s Mom and Dad?”

While he looked quite calm and collected, Luna, next to him couldn’t do anything but lower her head. If there was a hole somewhere she would hide in it.

How could she have fallen just like that? Shouldn’t she have pushed him away?

His good looks were just too much for her to handle, too much!

“Mom and Dad still have something else to do, so I came home first,” Alexander gave a glance at the blushing Luna and couldn’t help but say, “Bro, look at her. She’s all embarrassed!”

Alexander gave Luna a look and then said, “We have to go back now.”

“Huh? That early?” Zane gasped and tried to make them stay. “Mom and Dad will be back in the afternoon. We can have lunch before you go back!”

Alexander then said, “It’s fine. There’s something I have to deal with in the company.”

Once he heard that, Zane no longer insisted they stay. He only asked for them to wait for a little while, then he quickly entered the mansion.

After a while, Zane came out and put an envelope in Luna’s hand. “Luna, my mom prepared this for you. She told me when I was coming back just now to give you this specifically if Alexander is in a rush to go back.”

Luna didn’t say no, and accepted it. “Thank you!”

Willow held Calix’s hand as she walked out, and then told them that they should come and visit if she had the time.

Although they were only together for one day, Luna had a good impression of Willow. That was why they had added each other on Facebook.

However, Willow was the one who had taken the initiative.

Once they were in the car and pulled their seatbelts, Alexander suddenly said to her, “The thing that my mom gave you should be a member card.”

Luna was slightly stunned as she asked, “What member card?”

“Open it and take a look!” Alexander said as he drove away. “It’s not just for you. My mother gave a member card to Willow for the Inner Beauty Spa, because Willow looks after herself a lot. And then, she also gave my cousins and my cousins’ girlfriends member cards. My mother likes these kinds of things. She said that they are better than cash.”

Luna was quite amazed, and so she opened the envelope. But the thing inside made her feel confused.

Because it wasn’t a member card, but a black-colored ID card.

Alexander turned around and gave it a look, then gave her a mysterious smile as he said, “Seems that my mom’s afraid that there would come a time when you can’t find me, and so gave you an extra layer of protection beforehand!”

The ID card was a symbol of status. With that card, she could freely enter any entertainment outlet.

As Alexander needed to meet with clients, he would appear in all the VIP areas of these entertainment outlets.

And no one could simply enter those places whenever they wanted to.

“You can’t be sure of that,” Luna kept the card properly but didn’t give it much thought. “Maybe she knows that I like having fun?”

Speaking of which, they weren’t that hard to connect with unlike what was portrayed by the media. At least, Alexander’s parents were not that hard to handle as she had thought.

Alexander’s hands were still on the steering wheel when he suddenly said coldly, “True! Because I can’t, right?”

Luna almost choked again. Why was this man so petty? She had already explained! It was a misunderstanding!

“I’m that petty.”

Luna glanced at him speechlessly while Alexander merely looked straight and said, “That’s what you think, right?”

Luna decided to stop talking completely.

Alexander continued to drive. She wasn’t sure why, but she had a nagging feeling that he was looking at her.

Was there something on her face?

Why was Alexander giving her this weird feeling?

Once they were back in the mansion, Mrs. Niles came and took their clothes so that she could put them away. There was only Alexander and Luna left in the room.

Luna suddenly remembered the kiss they had in the courtyard, and a faint blush slowly appeared on her face again.

“Why are you standing so far away from me?” Alexander loosened his tie and waved at her. “Come here. I’ve got something to tell you.”

Why was she so afraid of him? Why was she still standing there and not moving?

“What is it?” Luna had just reached him when she realized she was being pulled toward the sofa.

“Ngh…”

Alexander had one arm around her waist, and another hand behind her head as he kissed her.

Her lips were so soft. He had been patient the entire way home and finally, no one was going to disturb them.

Luna was kissed to the point that she was going to faint. Even her breathing was getting a bit rapid.

Only when Alexander’s hand on her waist slowly move upward did she realize what was happening. She bit Alexander’s lips and left his embrace. “Your- your company has something important for you, right? Why are you still here?”

What she said had really killed the mood. Even she was quite impressed with herself.

Alexander held his lips, but his eyes looking towards her were filled with desire. “Are you a dog?”

“Sorry, I didn’t mean it,” Despite Luna being quite thick-skinned earlier, in the end, she was still blushing.

Alexander sighed and approached Luna while she took a step back. Alexander’s hand that had extended outward stopped for a moment before falling on her head in the end as he patted her. “I’m leaving. Wait for me.”

Luna nodded. Just before Alexander left, she couldn’t help but suddenly call his name.

“Alexander!”

“What is it?” He turned around and asked.

When she saw his handsome face and his eyes staring right at him, she swallowed all the words she had for him. “It’s fine, go!”

Alexander shook his head weakly and left without giving it much thought..
