"Are you serious?" After hearing James Lu's answer, Isaac Bai began shouting exaggeratedly. "So you're gonna marry her just because you f*cked her? Are we living in the same century?" "So what?" James swirled the wine in his glass. "What's wrong with that?" Benjamin Cheng was silent for a long time before he looked at James. "Are you really going to do this?" James nodded. "I made a chaste young lady sleep with me, it's not crazy to take responsibility for that, is it? And besides, her home situation is a little complicated..." He rubbed his eyebrows. "Look, she even made sure I saw her take an after pill, but then she was forced to ask me, a complete stranger who had slept with her under dubious circumstances, to marry her. She's going through something I don't think any of us understand." The room fell silent at his words. The silence was only broken when the phone rang. James walked over and answered the phone— "Hello..." "
The bandages on James Lu's head had been taken off and his hair was slick with pomade. He looked dashing. James Lu looked in their direction with a faint smile on his lips, almost mischievous looking. But Elizabeth Liang felt like there were sparks of anger in his eyes. "Mr. Lu?" Theodore Chao felt embarrassed when he saw James and heard what he said. He let go of Elizabeth's hand and coughed to quickly cover up the humiliation on his face. He walked over and stretched out his hand to greet him. "I didn't expect to see you here, it is very nice to meet you!" Looking at the hand in front of him, James raised his eyebrows. A while passed before Theodore was about to awkwardly take it back, and only then did James lazily hold out his. When their hands were about to touch, James turned his hand and his body took a step away, and grabbed Elizabeth who was nearby. "Aren't you just bringing food? Why are you talking to some random guy who has nothing to do with you?"
"So that was your ex?" James Lu leads Elizabeth Liang to the underground parking lot and they got in his car. Elizabeth fastened her seat belt and nodded. "Yeah." He sneered and said, "Your taste in men sucks." He looks good, but his character is really bad. Hearing him say that, Elizabeth smiled bitterly. "My family arranged it. We grew up together." Then she joked, "I was young, dumb and blind." James had heard that phrase before. And boy, was it true. Hearing this, James burst into laughter. "So you were a child bride?" Why does he have to be so crude? "I wasn't even living with him, how was I a child bride?" Mr. Lu, did you go to school? She thought, but did not dare to ask. "Our families arranged the engagement years ago... but, well, now he's in love with my cousin Josephine Liang, you know, the super-popular actress." "So he was your fiancé?" James looked at her somewhat lonesome expression and raised his eyebrows. "Wha
James Lu usually hated waiting. But for some reason, he was being very patient today. He flipped through a fashion magazine with great interest as he sat on the sofa in the waiting room. There were a few others in the room, but he was definitely the most eye-catching. He only sat there upright, but his incomparably handsome face made him look like a painting. "Mr. Lu, we're done!" The stylist came out first and hurriedly pulled open the curtain behind her. Elizabeth Liang, who has been dressed up from head to toe, appeared before James. James looked up casually but was stunned the moment he saw Elizabeth. Her dress, shoes, accessories, makeup and hair were all coordinated in harmony. Elizabeth had on her a long white fishtail gown. She was in very good shape, and the dress perfectly outlined the curves on her body. She looked shapely yet not immodest, and somehow youthfully innocent. The stylist put on her the trendiest style of makeup, it was
The people inside the private room were cheerfully eating and chatting away. When the door was opened from outside, they all turned to see who has entered. "Mr. Lu?" Simon Wang was quite surprised to see the new guest, but he immediately greeted him with a smile. Theodore Chao, however, couldn't hide his shock. He did not expect James Lu to appear at all. Not only that, why was he with Elizabeth Liang? God, they're holding hands! Recalling what had happened in the lobby just now, he couldn't help but frown. What on earth was their relationship? James quickly scanned the room and smiled lightly. "Mr. Wang, do you mind two more guests?" Elizabeth looked at the two people in the room. She did not know Simon Wang, but when she saw Theodore sitting there and looking at her and James with a face of utter surprise and confusion, she understood James's intention. The reason why he took her to a stylist before coming here——to let Theodore know tha
"Yes, Mr. Lu!" Money is power! All kinds of patrons come and go in a seven-star hotel like the Grand Dynasty. But no waiter present wasn't silently impressed by James Lu. He is fly as f*ck! Looking at the red wine being poured into decanters like waterfalls, Theodore Chao felt like he could hardly breathe. They weren't pouring wine, they were pouring his blood! If Elizabeth Liang still hadn't figured out what James was doing, she would have to be unbelievably stupid. She recalled he said that they were going to dine and dash, and he brought her to a styling studio then came here. At this moment, looking at Theodore's ghostly pale face and the table covered in food as well as the wine being poured out non-stop, and thinking of that day in the Liang mansion and how he watched everything unfold and betrayed her, Elizabeth had to admit that she felt extraordinarily delight. Elizabeth looked at the man next to her. She knew that James was being immature and rid
Elizabeth's face turned pale as she shouted furiously, "Did you not hear me? F*ck off?!" "What? Did you?" Theodore looked at her with a disgusted expression, then immediately grabbed her chin violently. "Don't gloat over f*cking James Lu, Elizabeth, you're still nothing to him, you're just his toy!" "Was tonight not exciting enough for you, Master Chao? Is that why you're looking for trouble?" James Lu, who had seemingly appeared out of nowhere, spoke calmly to Theodore, but his eyes were hostile. "James!" In Elizabeth's eyes, he looked like a shining knight. Theodore had no idea that James had followed him, and while he was in a daze Elizabeth gave him a forceful push. He stumbled two steps backwards before barely steadying himself. James walked to Elizabeth. "Are you okay?" Elizabeth nodded. "You call this okay?" He looked at the bruises on her shoulders that were Theodore's making, and his eyes darkened. "Theodore Chao, I had thought t
At the Grand Dynasty Hotel. "So uh, you called us over to watch you get wasted?" Isaac Bai teased. James Lu threw him a glare and poured himself another glass. "Tell us then, why are you so pissed?" Benjamin Cheng looked at him. James finished his wine in a gulp and slammed the glass onto the table. He exclaimed heatedly, "I can't believe how ungrateful that fucking woman is! I, James Lu, have already agreed to marry her, and she somehow has the gall to make demands!" Isaac was highly interested. "What demands?" "Hmph!" James snorted angrily. "She said that she only wants a certificate, and doesn't want a wedding. Is she f*cking kidding me?" "Uh..." Isaac was lost for words. Benjamin raised his eyebrows but said nothing. "You tell me." James pointed at Isaac. "Who does she think she is? I've already given her the honor of marrying me! No wedding? Ha, then what's the f*cking point?" "Are you sure?" Benjamin looked at him with a
Time went by so quickly. In the blink of an eye, John was already sixty years old. He didn't like complicated things and didn't like to celebrate his birthday. However, Lydia insisted on holding a birthday party for him. Considering that he liked quiet atmosphere, Lydia didn't celebrate his birthday in style. She only invited some close friends. Benjamin and Isaac naturally went there. Arvis was already five years old. He was much more lively than a few years ago, but he was not particularly noisy. Adele was pregnant again. The child was less than five months old, but Isaac was very nervous and followed her everywhere. He was so careful that James and Benjamin couldn't stand him anymore. That day, James teased him, "Say, Isaac, why are you so cautious? Adele is not a porcelain doll. If you want to please her, you don't have to be so affected." Isaac handed a piece of apple to Adele. After she finished eating, he replied, "I love my wife.
John didn't expect that she would mention this matter on her own. He fell in love with her first and said that he wanted to get engaged to her, but she proposed to get married first. Was it even? However, he wasn't a strait-laced person. Besides, wasn't it a good thing that his beloved girl couldn't wait to marry him? If they got married, he could see her as soon as he got home from work, and she would accompany him for meals. If he worked at home, she would stay with him. When he woke up in the morning, he would see her sleeping face at once and say good morning to her. At night, they could sleep together. What a wonderful thing! They got married in early August. The wedding was very grand, and there were many guests. Almost everyone who had something to do with the Lu family and the Song family attended their wedding, and some even came from afar. The three floors in the most luxurious hotel in A City was filled to capacity. John would always
"Happy birthday to you!" She sang the birthday song softly. Her voice was dulcet and soft, and it was very pleasant to the ear. The candlelight on the cake flickered as she moved, and the fruit on the cake gleamed in the candlelight. As Lydia approached John step by step, he felt that he was going crazy. She preferred to wear dresses, but all her dresses were lovely. Sometimes, she wore like a read lady. But at this time... She wore a long black lace dress that only reached her bottom. It was so flimsy that he could see her underwear... Her bra and pants were red and sexy, which only covered the most important parts of her body... At this time, John was obsessed with her, and he was hot all over. He felt that all the blood in his body was boiling, and his head seemed to be a little dizzy. "John..." Lydia came to him and looked at him shyly. "Today is your birthday." He looked at her bright and affectionate eyes and couldn't help but
John's birthday was coming soon, and Lydia was very distressed, because she hadn't decided what to buy for him. It was in the dark ages of computing. There was a computer in her house, but the network was not very developed. Therefore, she only asked a few close friends about it. They told her that she could buy him tie, cuffs, and clothes, but she denied these ideas at once. John was born in a rich family. After he grew up, he became a very excellent businessman. He had received many expensive birthday gifts, let alone something like a tie. As his fiancee, she couldn't be perfunctory, could she? So, she went to the mall, but she didn't see anything she liked. It seemed that giving him a special and novel birthday gift was not easy. She didn't know how to make handwork or paint. She had learnt piano when she was young, but she gave up later. After thinking about it for a while, she suddenly felt that she was so stupid. Except for the fact that she co
With the permission of Lydia's parents, John travel with her abroad for a few days. After coming back, he hired someone to teach her at home. Lydia had a feeling of freshness at the beginning. After all, she used to attend classes at school. At this time, she could learn knowledge at home. Moreover, the teachers were very careful and very patient. However, the next day, she was not willing to study like this, so she went to find John. "Why?" John was puzzled, "Is it because they can't teach their lessons well enough? If that's the case, I'll change new teachers for you tomorrow." "No!" She kept waving her hand, "They are very good teachers and they're patient, but..." She looked at him cautiously and thought twice before speaking, "They are just too patient, and they take good care of me as if I'm a child. I feel... a little stressful." John was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled, "Is this the reason?" "Yeah." Lydia nodded, "But I am not a chil
Lydia really didn't go to school anymore. Although all the misunderstandings had been clarified, she didn't want to go to school again. On the second day after she went through formalities, Nina came to her and asked for her forgiveness. At that time, John was there, but later he found an excuse and went out. Lydia looked at Nina who had suddenly become much more haggard and sighed in heart. Why did Nina have to provoke her back then? "I'm sorry." Nina said softly. "Oh." Hearing this, Nina immediately got unhappy and glared at her with hatred, "Lydia, are you very smug now?" She was apologizing to Lydia, but Lydia actually replied to her so indifferently. Lydia shrugged her shoulders, "Do you think I'm smug now?" "I'm apologizing to you!" "I heard it. Didn't I answer you as well?" "You..." Nina sneered, "Is that your answer?" "What do you expect?" Lydia was puzzled, "How do you want me to answer you? Should I thank you w
Nina's voice came from the stereo around the playground. She had said a lot. There were so many people on the sports ground, but none of them spoke. They were all shocked and stunned. "As for what I said to Lydia, it was my prank. Actually, Lydia's fiance has nothing to do with me. I... just envied her for having such an excellent fiance and I was jealous. Therefore, I did that to her that day..." After she said this, the crowd, which had been quiet, suddenly burst into an uproar. "Oh my god! How could it be?" "I heard that she was very excited that day. She cried, knelt in front of Lydia and begged her. But she said it was a prank?" "She couldn't do that even if she wanted to prank on Lydia, could she? That is Lydia's fiance." "I don't think it's a prank. I was in the dormitory at that time and I saw it with my own eyes. Nina looked really sad. In my opinion, Lydia must have put pressure on Nina, so Nina has to do this." "Lydia's family
As soon as Lydia entered the school, she walked with her head down, because she was afraid of meeting acquaintances. Besides, with John holding her hand, she did not have to worry that she would fall down. After what had happened yesterday, she... had become quite well-known in school. "Lydia, look up." His voice was very soft, but she was somewhat pressurized. She gave him a resentful look, "Do you even want to force me to raise my head?" He chuckled, "Didn't you listen to my words carefully just now?" "Yeah." Lydia snorted, "But I came in here, didn't I?" She said, "You said those words indeed, and I think it makes sense, but... John, it's hard for me to do it, okay? I know I'm not wrong, but I'm very worried. You are not me, so you won't understand my mood." John sighed lightly and didn't know what to say at the moment. Although he didn't talk much in ordinary times, he did things in a decisive manner. Perhaps, he really had no way to
"John, you're here?" Nina ran into the house with great joy. Just now, she went out, but when she knew that he had come here, she rushed back, for fear that she would miss him. Fortunately, he had not left yet. Looking at John who was sitting in the living room, she was very happy, and her heart jumped very fast. John was very excellent, and she was infatuated with him. Although she had done such a thing, she didn't regret it at all. As long as she could be with him, she couldn't care about so much. That day... why on earth did he come here? Was it because Lydia couldn't stand it anymore and broke up with him? Had he found out how good she was? John raised his head and took a look at her. His eyes were very bland. When she was about to walk over, John stood up. He arranged his suit and said to her father, "I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer as I said. I hope to hear it tomorrow." Her father's face darkened, but he didn't dare to lose
