"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
But Lydia Song was still looking at her across the table! Elizabeth Liang made up her mind and picked up a piece of food from a nearby dish. When she was about to put it into James Lu's bowl, James suddenly turned his head and ate the food from her chopsticks. Not only was Elizabeth stunned, John Lu and Lydia also looked surprised. After a long pause, the shock disappeared from Lydia's face as she said happily, "Your dad and I couldn't believe it when you said that you were getting married, but... now I see that you've really found a girl you love, I'm so happy for you!" James raised his eyebrows. "Am I that untrustworthy? Well, do you believe me now?" Blushing, Elizabeth stared blankly at her chopsticks. Did they just touch his lips? If that's the case... then was that... an indirect kiss? After dinner, everyone sat in the living room, and Lydia made a pot of her best floral fruit tea. Elizabeth felt a little queasy as she sat on the sof
"..." Elizabeth Liang stayed silent, but well—she was pretty happy. James Lu took her to meet his parents, which meant that he was still going to marry her. His parents agreed to their marriage, and he agreed to hold off the wedding. It was like all her worries had suddenly disappeared. Of course she was ecstatic! Elizabeth felt like she had basically suddenly won five million dollars. "I'm glad you're happy, but I don't do things for free." James was going to make sure he got something out of it! "What do you want me to do?" "Well..." He gently tapped on the car door, thought for a moment, and said, "Since I helped you, shouldn't you show your gratitude?" "Huh?" Elizabeth paused. "How?" James slammed the door shut, turned around and leaned against the car. He looked at her with a sly smile and said, "Come on, give me a kiss." He pointed to his face. "What..." Elizabeth was completely bewildered. Was James still in character? He was
