Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 107: A Special and Warm Gift
Lizzie felt uneasy under his intense gaze. If not for Lin Zhanpeng holding her hand, she would have definitely chosen to escape, to a place where Bruno couldn't see her.Lin Zhanpeng chuckled, “It seems like the cold-hearted CEO Bruno has taken quite an interest in Lizzie!”His insight into Bruno's thoughts was evidence of the years he had spent in the business world.“Of course!" Bruno replied, "Beautiful girls always attract attention, don’t they? Especially...” He was cut off by Adeline.“Mr. CEO, Mr. Lin, this is a small token of our CEO's appreciation. We hope you’ll accept it.” Adeline presented a carefully wrapped box, indicating that the gift inside was extraordinary.Lin Zhanpeng smiled slightly and gave a subtle nod, signaling to the elderly butler beside him to receive the gift."Thank you for your present." He expressed his gratitude with a smile.Louise looked at Bruno, then at Lizzie, almost revealing the secret. Lizzie had pleaded her to keep the relationship between he

Lin Zhanpeng motioned to the spot right next to Lizzie. "Hao, sit here. Have a good chat with Lizzie, maybe take her out for a bit of a stroll." It was apparent that he was trying to play matchmaker between Lizzie and Lin Hao."That's alright, grandpa, I'm perfectly fine sitting with you." Lizzie diplomatically refused."Go on, go on!" Lin Zhanpeng gave Lizzie a gentle pat, "Go for a little stroll, and when it's time to cut the cake, you can come back and join me, sound good?"Unable to refuse, Lizzie stood up, taking her place by Lin Hao's side. Together, they exited the grand hall. This entire scene was fully noted by Bruno standing not far away. So, Lin Zhanpeng loved Lizzie this much and had this intention! He must be disappointed, wanting to match Lizzie with Lin Hao would probably be impossible."Bruno, are we going to stay a little longer?" Adeline clearly didn't want to stay any longer as all of Bruno's attention was drawn by Lizzie.Bruno took a sip of his wine, the hint of a

The thought of lovers in the throes of passion? Upon reflecting on this, Bruno's hand clenched into a fist, the veins not only bulging on his hand, but also on his forehead. "Bruno." Adeline followed his gaze. Indeed, Lizzie was a natural temptress, one Jacob wasn't enough, now she had the heir to the Lin family laughing with her, their gazes intimate and flirtatious.However, Bruno's demeanor and expression unsettled her. Was he angry because of her? Lizzie had repeatedly caused him to break his principles. The usually ruthless Bruno was even willing to let go of a project worth hundreds of millions simply because of a word from Lizzie.Bruno indifferently retracted his gaze. Her laughter had deeply hurt him, but this feeling lasted only for a brief moment, disappearing without a trace in the next second. He turned his head, looked at Adeline, and asked softly, "What's wrong?""Nothing." Adeline knew better than to probe his thoughts. She would do everything she could to protect thei
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 110: What's Her Charm?
Louise's words gave Jepan the perfect opportunity, his clever tongue slipping into her mouth, entangling tightly with her small clove-like tongue until they both ran out of breath. He then let her go."You lunatic, you rogue, who gave you the permission to kiss me!" Louise took the chance to back off, vigorously wiping her lips with the back of her hand, cursing at Jepan all the while.Jepan watched her, taking a step closer to her, "Do I, Jepan, need someone's permission to kiss the woman I love?""Are you joking? I don't know you!" Louise was taken aback, her eyes wide open. This man in front of her was too dangerous, she seemed to have inadvertently provoked him."Oh, it seems Miss Lin has a short memory. Allow me to reintroduce myself then. My name is Jepan, and the rest, well, you'll have to find out for yourself." Jepan's eyes were fixed on Louise, a smile on his face as he spoke.Louise found herself backed against a wall, with no escape. Yet, she refused to give in, she looked

A grand eight-tiered cake was rolled out, placed in front of Lin Zhanpeng, "Grandpa, you should make a wish before cutting the cake!" Louise said cheerfully. However, she stammered and looked away when she met Jepan's gaze.When did he get here? He seems to be always around!Jepan took pleasure in Louise's avoidance, his lips curled up in a charming smile, displaying his exceptional mood.Lin Qifeng handed Lin Zhanpeng a rectangular cake knife, "Dad, you can cut the cake now.""Sure, sure." He took the knife, "Hanan, Lizzie, help grandpa cut the cake." He guided their hands as they made the first cut.All the guests expressed their blessings and applauded.As soon as Lizzie's hand was released, Lin Zhanpeng grasped it again, "The second piece, let Hao and Lizzie cut it together.""Grandpa, isn't it better for big brother Lin to do it?" Lizzie looked at Lin Zhanpeng with some difficulty. Even though she was somewhat slow, she could understand what Lin Zhanpeng was implying.Lin Zhanpen

Jacob shook his head, taking a few steps back. "No, this can't be possible! Why would Lizzie do this to me? I don't deserve such treatment!""You still love her, right? But what about her? Even if she still loves you, you can never have her because her body belongs to me," Bruno said, his lips slightly parting. "She can only satisfy me under me. I don't love her, but as a man, I admit her body fascinates me. As long as she's willing to use her stunning body to please me, I will agree to all her conditions. Besides, this is just a small project. What do I have to lose?""Bruno, how could you do this to her? You're defiling her body, trampling on her dignity. What has she done to deserve this treatment from you?" Jacob's anger erupted at this moment. "I'd rather give up this project than see you bully Lizzie like this!""You don't want this project anymore?" Bruno shook his head. "Now, whether you want it or not doesn't matter to me. I don't mind if you bring this project back under a c

"I'm fine." Lizzie shook her head, smiling faintly, "It's just a stained dress, I'll clean it in the restroom."Bruno watched as Lizzie hastily retreated, with Lin Hao following closely behind. It wasn't until they had both disappeared down the corridor that he finally shifted his gaze.Lin Zhanpeng smiled warmly, "Indeed! I have a lovely granddaughter, and perhaps soon, I will have a beautiful granddaughter-in-law."Upon hearing the second half of this statement, Bruno understood without needing to think, Lin Zhanpeng was referring to Lizzie. She certainly had her ways, winning over the entire Lin family. Even if she were to leave him, she could survive in this world by various means. However, he had already determined to keep her captive by his side, to be his woman only. At least for now, he hadn't tired of her, he had no intentions of letting her go."That would indeed be delightful, should that day come, I will certainly present a grand congratulatory gift." Bruno's face maintain

Lizzie smiled and waved at her, then followed Lin Hao to the black Mercedes van parked in the garage. Lin Hao gallantly opened the passenger door for Lizzie, shielding her head from the upper edge of the car door until she was seated. Then, he walked around the car and sat in the driver’s seat, started the engine and slowly drove out of the villa.Lin Hao did not accelerate much, just slowly drove. Lizzie was looking out of the window when Lin Hao softly called her, “Lizzie."She turned her head and looked at him, "Hmm.""What is it? Anything bothering you?" Lin Hao broke the silence, seeing her remain quiet."No, nothing. I just don't know what to say," Lizzie gave a faint, gentle smile.Lin Hao slightly turned his head and glanced at Lizzie but said nothing more. The car resumed its tranquillity until they reached the apartment building."Thank you for the ride, Lin," Lizzie smiled and thanked him."Lizzie," Lin Hao called out to her who was about to open the door and exit the car.

On a sunny weekend, a month later, Bruno drove with Lizzie to the orphanage.Although it was already afternoon, the orphanage was still bustling with activity. Bruno walked hand in hand with Lizzie through the sprawling garden, watching the children running around on the grass, unaffected by the heat. Among them was Adeline.Her once long hair had been cut into a stylish short style, making her look refreshed.There was a pure and genuine smile on her face, devoid of any traces of pain. She had forgotten the past, forgotten the pain she had endured. She was genuinely happy.Xu Wan approached them. "Adeline has been doing well during this time."She stood beside Bruno and Lizzie, reminiscing about Adeline's past. "Adeline used to have a strong sense of inferiority because she felt abandoned by her parents. She always wore a mask of strength and tried to distance herself from this place. But who would have thought that after all these years, she would come back completely transformed."

Bruno gave a nod, "Alright, I understand. I'll accompany Lizzie.""But, boss, what about Adeline?" Lycan spoke up, noticing that Bruno hadn't mentioned Adeline at all."How is she?" Bruno asked flatly. Even though Adeline had taken a bullet for him, his attitude toward her hadn't changed."The details are still unclear. She's currently in surgery," Lycan reported, "What if the situation isn't promising?" Given Adeline's critical condition upon being taken to the hospital, it was uncertain if she'd survive."We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Keep a watch on her and keep me updated. Lizzie was deeply shaken by this. I need to be with her." Having said that, Bruno retreated into the patient room.Watching the closed door, Jepan murmured, "Lycan, did you notice? The boss doesn't really care about Adeline, even if she took a bullet for him. He didn't even blink.""I know. In his heart, there is only room for Lizzie. She must be scared after what happened. And if the bullet had hi

Lizzie struggled with all her might, but her white blouse was ripped apart, buttons scattering across the floor.Charles stared at her exposed, smooth skin, his eyes locked onto her."Bruno certainly has a good eye," Charles remarked, tut-tutting softly.Lizzie pursed her lips in anger. The way Charles was looking at her felt like an insult."It's just the two of us here. Don't be shy." Charles pulled her close into his arms, planting a kiss on her cheek. The light contact made her feel nauseous from the bottom of her heart.Just as Charles was about to rip off the remainder of her blouse, a loud commotion erupted outside.Before they could react, the wooden door was kicked down. Bruno, dressed in a black suit, stood at the entrance."Bruno," Lizzie cried out in relief. Her heart, held tight with worry, finally eased. She tried to move towards him, but Charles held her back.Charles was taken aback by Bruno's appearance. "Bruno?""So you recognize me, and yet you dare touch my woman."

Lizzie was tied up, unable to move. Even if she wanted to escape from the high-rise building, she was trapped.Footsteps echoed from outside. The sound of shoes on concrete indicated there were a lot of people approaching. Lizzie shrunk into a corner as the door was thrust open, and to her surprise, Charles was the first to enter."You," Lizzie looked up at him."Miss Lizzie, hello. We meet again." Charles approached her, looking down from his superior height."What do you want?" Lizzie was taken aback; she never expected it would be him.Charles crouched down to her level. "Of course, I've been thinking about you." He caressed her face gently, "I've missed this soft cheek of yours."He was ready to risk it all for her. Bruno had canceled their partnership because of her. Charles wouldn't be lenient either.Lizzie turned her face away, "Don't touch me. Take your dirty hands off me." Was this man really intending to possess her? Just because of that one meeting at the nightclub?"Miss

Just as Lizzie had risen and was attempting to guide Yelun back to the villa, two men suddenly appeared beside her. They forcefully shoved Yelun's wheelchair away from her grasp. "You guys..." Lizzie advanced to grab the wheelchair, but was held back by one man gripping her arm, preventing her from moving forward.Helplessly, Lizzie watched as Yelun's wheelchair rolled a considerable distance before tipping over, taking him with it.She tried to scream for help, only to realize the park was eerily devoid of people."Who are you and what do you want? Let me go!" Lizzie struggled in vain against their firm grip."Dad!" She yelled, but was swiftly restrained by the two men and forced into a vehicle.With the engine roaring to life, Lizzie watched as the park faded into the distance. She frantically pounded on the car window shouting, "Let me out, let me out!"The car sped further away, and Lizzie swivelled around to look at her captors. She reached for her mobile phone, only to realize i

Bruno rose from his seat and walked over to her. "How did you get here? Did you drive yourself?" he asked. "Yes," Lizzie nodded. "Don't worry, I drove carefully." She was aware that her driving skills were not the best, so she seldom drove on her own. "Next time, let me know if you want to go out. I'll come pick you up," Bruno said, gripping her hand tightly. Lizzie nestled into his arms with a smile. "Understood. You must be hungry. Let's eat before the food gets cold. I made this meal myself." She led him to the couch, opened the lunchbox she had brought, and prepared to serve the food. "Nothing beats having a wife who knows how to take care of me and cook such delicious meals," Bruno said, wrapping one arm around her while picking up the chopsticks with the other hand. He reached out to feed her a bite. "You haven't eaten yet, have you? Try this." "I had a late breakfast. I'm not hungry yet." Despite her words, Lizzie accepted the piece of braised pork he held out to h

"Bruno, Bruno," Adeline watched as the elevator doors closed, was he really so heartless? Just to go back to Lizzie, he could abandon her so easily.Jepan stood beside her, watching Adeline's pale face, "Adeline, should we go? Do you need me to carry you?" he teased, grinning wickedly.Adeline was about to respond when Jepan interrupted her, "I might have thought about it, but I don't have the guts. I don't want to be misunderstood by Louise.""YOU!" Adeline glared at Jepan, who had never shown any kindness towards her. Especially now, when even Bruno had abandoned her, he became even more ruthless."No need, I can walk on my own." Adeline hobbled slightly as she entered the elevator, Jepan followed with a leisurely laugh.Bruno drove back to the villa at top speed. The villa was still brightly lit, were they not sleeping yet?In the living room, Lizzie held their son, both sitting there. Lizzie had a finance magazine in her hand, and their son was playing video games in front of the

The hotel banquet hall, Bruno in a black suit, with Jepan trailing him, still dressed casually."Boss, did you come in person because you wanted to confirm something?" Jepan asked."Isn't Charles coming too?" Bruno looked at Jepan, his smile inscrutable.Jepan nodded, "Boss, I bet you don't know someone else is coming.""Who?" As Bruno's words fell, a familiar voice came from behind."Bruno." Adeline, dressed in a graceful purple, approached from behind.Bruno's face fell as he watched Adeline approach him."Boss, I guess I'll go in first." Jepan wisely withdrew, regretting he hadn’t warned Bruno earlier.Seeing the gloom on Bruno's face, Jepan figured it was best to make himself scarce.Bruno was about to move forward when Adeline grabbed his arm, "Bruno, we're not strangers, are we?""How did you get here?" Bruno halted, addressing her."Bruno, I knew you were coming. You don't want to see me, but I had no choice but to come here." Adeline clasped his arm.Bruno pushed her hand away
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 164 A Good Choice
Bruno held her tightly, "You should go home early today, I have things to do tonight.""Okay." Lizzie nodded, understanding that he didn't need to tell her everything, aware that he was very busy. Although there was nothing she could do to help, she didn't want her presence to disrupt his work.Before the end of the workday, Bruno had his driver take her back to her apartment. Lizzie had a small meal, her appetite wasn't great. She made herself a bowl of noodles, but only ate a few bites and settled in to watch TV. Bob, her dog, was sitting next to her, more engrossed in the TV than she was.Bruno and Adeline sat in a French restaurant that evening. The dim yellow light and soothing music made the atmosphere elegant and romantic."Bruno, I ordered a couple's set meal, hope you don't mind?" Adeline had already ordered when they were seated."Of course I don't mind, as long as you like it." Bruno was not particularly fond of Western food. As he looked at the premium steak set meal in fr
