The whole process in the courthouse only took a few minutes, but Elizabeth Liang felt as if her whole world has changed. She was currently holding two small booklets with two big gilded words printed on the covers: marriage certificate. Was she... married? She went from being a homeless and disgraced heiress to being the wife of A City magnate James Lu. It all felt like a dream. James stood next to Elizabeth and watched as she stared at the marriage certificate in her hand. He grunted and said, "Too late to take it back now!" Elizabeth curled her lips. "I wasn't going to." "Well, you can't anyway!" James grabbed one of the booklets and flipped through it. Then he stuffed it back into her hand and glanced at her. "Mrs. Lu?" Elizabeth was not prepared for that "Mrs. Lu". "Huh?" "Shouldn't you give me a kiss as a wedding gift?" James said as he gave her a mischievous wink. "... Um..." Was it necessary? However, looking at him at
Lydia Song winked at Elizabeth Liang, and she immediately got the memo. James Lu felt like his blood was going to boil when he saw that they were really going to leave him behind. They really knew how to push his buttons! "Excuse me! Mrs. Song, who's going to make me dinner if you take her away?" "Just order takeout." Lydia didn't even turn her head. "Quick Elizabeth, change your shoes!" "You think I wanna eat takeout?" "Then why don't you make dinner yourself?" "Have you ever seen me in the kitchen in thirty whole years?" James was pissed. Who knew that getting a wife would be his downfall? "Well too bad then!" Lydia then acted worried and sighed. "I asked the driver to go home when I came here. We'll have to call a taxi then, okay Elizabeth?" "Yes, mom." Lydia's words immediately caught James's attention. "Hello, Mrs. Song, do you know who you are? Do you really think you should be taking taxis?" "What else am I suppos
"Number one," James Lu lightly tapped the armrest with one hand and said, "You're Mrs. Lu now, and you must always remember that, 'cause I have no interest in being cucked." "..." Elizabeth Liang nodded sullenly. "Got it." Then he added, "Keep a distance from other men at all times, okay?" "Mm." "What kind of attitude is that, Elizabeth?" "I answered you!" What kind of attitude? She had a great attitude! "What do you mean by 'mm'? Are you unhappy about it? Do you think I'm restricting your freedom?" "No." Elizabeth shook her head. When she saw the displeasure in his eyes, she immediately shook her head again with conviction. "No, really!" "Hmph!" James was a bit more satisfied this time. He crossed his legs and said, "Very well, now onto the second point." Elizabeth straightened her back and prepared to listen carefully. "The second point is..." James leisurely lit a cigarette. "The second point..." "Yeah, go ahead."
Elizabeth Liang tossed and turned on her bed but just couldn't fall asleep. Fiddling with the credit card that James Lu just gave her, she smiled faintly. What did he say just then? - Yes I am very rich, but my card is only for Mrs. Lu. He was arrogant and immature, but sometimes cute too! Elizabeth took out the brand new marriage certificate from her bedside table and was overwhelmed with emotion as she looked at it. She was really married to James Lu! She had planned to work hard in the Liang Company for a few years after graduation, and then enter marriage with Theodore Chao. But now... His embrace and the temperature of his hand from this afternoon still hadn't dissipated, it still felt warm, and made her feel happy inside when she thought of it. When he held her hand and said, "Mrs. Lu, let's go home." She could feel tears well up in her eyes, and it took everything she had to hold them back. Go home! At that moment
In the CEO office of Lu Enterprises. Placed in front of James Lu was an endless pile of documents. The office temperature was perfectly conditioned. James took off his suit jacket and draped it casually over the office chair. He straightened his back in his white shirt as he carefully read through the documents on the desk. People always say that a man is hot when he works hard. At this moment, there was a rigorous and careful expression on his handsome face, and he exuded a mature and steadfast charm. Samuel Lee pushed open the door and walked in. He flattered him, "You don't know how many young ladies would pass out if they ever saw you at work, boss." His boss really was the most handsome and capable man he knew. Other than his occasional temper tantrums, he really couldn't find a single fault on him. James signed his name on a document without raising his head. "I don't see you working any harder, but you are getting better and better at kissing
When Elizabeth Liang arrived home with groceries, she heard the familiar rumbling sound of the ventilator coming from the kitchen, accompanied by the sound of pots and bowls colliding. The house was filled with the smell of burnt food. A suspicion arose in her mind. Was James Lu cooking? But he's made it clear that he never would! Elizabeth changed into slippers and walked to the kitchen step by step. When she was just a few steps away, she heard the sound of tableware crashing onto the floor again. And then, she heard a surprised gasp coming from the kitchen. Elizabeth ran over and saw Lydia Song squatting on the floor and holding her bleeding hand, with a terrified expression on her face. "Mom!" Elizabeth was also extremely startled. She didn't expect Lydia to be here at all, let alone cooking for them. However... as she looked around the kitchen, Elizabeth was at a complete loss for words— The formerly neat kitchen was turned into a sh
John Lu, who had already had dinner and was watching financial news on the sofa, frowned slightly when he saw his wife rushing into the house with his son and daughter-in-law following behind. He said to Lydia Song, "Slow down, you'll fall over." Lydia ignored her husband's words and quickly ran into his arms. "Honey, I got hurt..." She sniffled as she spoke, and raised her hand. "Look." John looked at Lydia's fair and small hand with a bow wrapped around it, and couldn't help but knit his dark eyebrows together. "What happened?" Lydia had washed her face, but her hair was still a little messy, and there was a faint burnt smell coming from it. "How did you get yourself like this?" Lydia chuckled and made a face like a little girl, but did not answer. She would rather not admit to something so embarrassing! John looked at James Lu. "Tell me." John treasured his wife more than anything in the world, even a strand of fallen hair from her would make his
Elizabeth Liang felt like a lamb to the slaughter as she stepped into James Lu's room with a heavy heart and a depressed face. "Um..." Elizabeth bit her lip. "Are we really staying here?" James was just as frustrated. "You think I want to?" He couldn't help but shout at her in anger. "Keep your voice down!" She didn't want his mom and dad to hear him. "No one ever disobeys my dad... Whatever, it's just for a night." James kicked the closest coffee table leg in irritation, but his anger made him go a bit too hard. He hissed in pain as he recoiled. "Are you okay?" Elizabeth looked at him and frowned. "Did you hurt your foot?" James took two deep breaths and tried to keep calm. "Are you kidding me? What is a table leg gonna do to m—" He hissed again. What's this god damn coffee table made of, how the hell could it hurt so much?! That's what he got for choosing to save his face instead of his foot. Elizabeth stifled a laugh and pretended to n
