As she stood downstairs in the hotel that James Lu described, Elizabeth Liang felt both exhilaration and nervousness. She had just received his phone call and was in a daze. The phone hung up for a while before she knew it -- he'd asked her out to dinner! He asked her out to dinner! It seemed the first time in all their acquaintance that they had dined alone, and he had offered it. The little caper and surprise in her heart made her feel excited and ecstatic. After work, she wanted to go home and change her clothes, but there was not enough time, so she had to give up. For fear of upsetting James Lu, she even took a taxi for the first time. Now she was downstairs, already in the lobby, and after a few steps she backed out. After looking around and making sure that she didn't see anyone she knew, she secretly ran to the side. Facing the glass, she ruffled her hair and pulled at her T-shirt to make sure nothing was wrong. Then she took a de
This spacious and bright western restaurant had a French style. Instead of playing on the stereo, the dining music is played live by a small band. There was a steady stream of diners, but no noise at all. Elizabeth Liang rarely came to such a high-end place for dinner, so she didn't have many ideas about what to order, especially when she saw that the menu was in French, she was daunted. She was afraid that James would laugh at her again for being a hillbilly who knew nothing. In the end, she had bitten the bullet and pointed at two random things. James looked up from the menu and looked at what she ordered. He frowned and said, "I ask you to order something to eat. Why do you order two bottles of red wine?" "Er..." For a moment, Elizabeth's face turned crimson. She secretly glanced up at James. When she saw that he didn't look at her with disdain, she was a little relieved. She was trying to say something to ease her embarrassment at the moment, but James
"It's none of your business, Theodore?" Elizabeth Liang's tone was full of sarcasm. "Or, do you think you are still my...?" Theodore was devastated to hear this. His chest heaved violently and his face wore an unmistakable expression of hurt. "..." Elizabeth didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so she turned around and was about to leave without washing her hands. Theodore Chao was unwilling to give up. In the past, he's always greeted by Elizabeth with a smile? How could she treat him like this? He reached out his hand to grab her arm to stop her from leaving. "Elizabeth!" Elizabeth finally stopped. She turned her head to look at his hand on her arm, her eyes impatient. Not wanting to face the man in front of her, and with a faint, aching stomach, she fretted and frowned, 'Will you let me go, please?' Theodore Chao was stunned but eventually had to withdraw his hand. Glancing at the girl in front of him, who was as cold as a stranger, he sai
"But don't forget, you can take it away from me, and maybe someday someone will take it from you. I've moved on a long time ago. He doesn't deserve it. I don't like him anymore, but there are still others like you who might have bad tastes." For the first time, she knew how good it felt to refute the people she hated. "You... you, you..." Josephine Liang's hands, which were clenched into fists, couldn't stop trembling. The anger in her heart was clearly visible. As if she was trying to prove it to herself, she shouted, "Theodore will not leave me forever!" "You're being jealous, aren't you? Don't think that I don't know what you're up to!" "......" Just now, because of Josephine's sudden appearance, she didn't have time to turn off the tap, and the water was still flowing. Elizabeth didn't want to reply to her meaningless and boring words, so she turned around and turned off the tap. Josephine was so angry that she could not bear it.
"You dare touch her again!" With a roar, he came from behind. Then, Elizabeth Liang's forehead touched something warm, thick, and slightly hard. "Hmm..." Elizabeth grunted in a low voice, only to open her eyes sharply at the sound she had just heard. On the wall in front of her, it was his hand which just shielded her. Her heart skipped a beat. She looked up at the man who was standing beside her, her eyes watery. Once again, he was her knight. The touch in her heart made her choked with sobs. "James..." James's face flamed with anger. His eyes were sharp and mad with rage. He was like a vampire from hell, full of danger. This sudden change sent a quiver down Josephine's spine. Her hand holding Elizabeth's thin hair trembled and she eased her strength. She had not expected James's presence here at this moment, and she shuddered at the sight of him now, frightened by what had happened last time. She seemed genuinely startled
No! She was in a panic. She didn't want to be misunderstood by him. This made her fidget. How could she bear it at this moment, when what Josephine said had been nonsense? She blurted out, "No..." At the word "no," James sneered at Josephine breezily: "You hear that? She said no!" Elizabeth's unsettled heart was relieved by his words. She felt something pleasant hit her heart. She thought he would misunderstand and be angry, but how could she know that he defended her without being given a full explanation? Her nose was a little red, and her eyes were also swollen. But even if she was moved to tears, she did not want to shed it in front of Josephine Liang. So she tried to sniff and took a few deep breaths to suppress her tears. Josephine didn't expect that James would respond with such an attitude, and she's stunned. In most of the case, men would be pissed off and incline to lose judgment. She failed sowing discord and he defended Eliza
Because James Lu consumed wine, he didn't intend to drive his car back. When he came out of the restaurant, he didn't call a taxi. He just strode ahead in a bad mood. Elizabeth Liang guessed that he was still angry about the encounter with Josephine Liang and didn't dare to talk to him. she followed him closely with mixed feelings. He was tall, more than 1.8 meters, and she could only reach his shoulder at most. His back was very straight. From a distance, he looked like a tall green pine. In fact, He had a bad temperament, childish, overbearing, arrogant, and coquettish. He would lose his temper from time to time. He would make others unhappy when he's in a good mood. But when he was in a bad mood, he would be like a bomb ready to explode. Uh... and he got a sharp tongue. If he was provoked, he will make sure to strive back. But it's also him, who would bring her the inarticulated warmth and the revelation that even if the sky's falling down there's still him
"I'm asking you a question!" He sat up all of a sudden. "Answer me!" "I... I..." James Lu has a short temper. How can he stand her stalling all the time? He took her by the shoulder and turned her toward him. "What? I asked..." As soon as he saw her pale, sweaty face, he hold back the rest of the words. He was anxious. "What's the matter?" Then, as if remembering something, he asked, "Where did Josephine hit you just now?" "It's not that." Elizabeth shook her head. "I... I just feel a little pain in my stomach." He was relieved a bit first, but soon became agitated by the following words. He instantly pursed his lips. After a few seconds, he softened his voice. "When did it start?" "Ah?" She did not understand what he was asking. "Don't you have a stomachache? When did it hurt?" "Just now... after dinner..." He sorted out the situation of tonight and then grumbled, "So, was it painful when you quarreled with Josephine?"
