Elizabeth Liang was in class when her phone suddenly rang in her pocket. The classroom was extremely quiet, so the sudden ringing immediately drew everyone's attention. Elizabeth wanted to dig a hole in the ground to hide. How could she have made the most basic mistake of forgetting to silence her phone? Evelyn Wu nudged Elizabeth with her elbow, and made eyes at her to make Elizabeth silence it. Elizabeth nodded and glanced at the caller ID— angry little lion! Why was he calling her at this time? He's screwing her over! This class was held by the dean, the woman known as "the Devil". "I have stressed repeatedly that I will not tolerate phone ringing in my class. Turn off your phones, otherwise..." Before the dean could continue, the phone rang again! Elizabeth's face twisted as she hurriedly declined the call. But as soon as she pressed the decline button, her phone rang again in protest. "Elizabeth Liang!" The dean was
Sir Wu turned around and smiled. "You're here?" He glanced at Elizabeth Liang and Samuel Lee who were standing behind James Lu, then looked away again without a change in expression. "I didn't expect Mr. Lu to bring a companion. Now I feel out of place as a lonely old man." Hearing this, Elizabeth said embarrassedly, "Nice to meet you, Sir. Wu. Actually... I'm just Mr. Lu's caddie." "Oh?" Sir Wu raised his eyebrows, clearly intrigued. James gave Elizabeth a subtle glare. "Sir Wu, would you mind swinging a few shots with me?" "There's no need to hurry." Sir Wu smiled. "I have two more friends coming." James frowned slightly. Was there... someone robbing his business? "See," Sir Wu watched the approaching golf cart and said, "Here they are." The golf cart stopped before two people got off of it. James and Elizabeth's expression both changed when they saw who the newcomers were. They were Theodore Chao and Josephine Liang. Theodore was
Elizabeth Liang stood at where the line was drawn and looked at the hole before her. She felt completely overwhelmed by a wave of utter helplessness and misery. Sir Wu looked like a serious old man, but was no less worse than James Lu when it came to messing people up! She's always been useless at sports since she was a kid. She's never long jumped over one meter during P.E. classes. Elizabeth looked at the hole that was five meters away and felt like the distance between them was as far as the distance between heaven and hell. She nervously gripped the club that James gave her. Although she tried her best to replicate what James had taught her just now, she still felt like she was holding it wrong. Samuel Lee nervously clenched his fists as big drops of sweat dripped down his face. Jesus on a boat, she was holding way more than just the fate of a ball! Elizabeth anxiously pursed her lips and couldn't help but look over at James. She could tell
"You're a plague, Elizabeth Liang!" Josephine Liang angrily gritted her teeth as she watched Sir Wu walk away. "Josephine!" Theodore Chao was also disappointed and upset by the fact that Sir Wu had gone, but now that there were only them left, and Elizabeth was injured, he couldn't bring himself to be cruel. "Plague?" James Lu looked up at Josephine as he held Elizabeth in his arms. His eyes were as cold as ice. "If she's a plague, then what are you?" James snorted with contempt. "An elevated thief?" Josephine might have just simply bore James's words in the past, but now things were different. Now she was the noble heiress of the Liang Company and the hottest TV star at the moment. Although James was known in A City for his arrogance and incredible wealth, she couldn't afford to care anymore when she was watching Elizabeth being defended and protected by TWO men, one of whom being her fiancé. "Thief?" Josephine's perfectly dolled up face turned red from r
James Lu furiously shouted at Samuel Lee, but that wasn't enough to relieve his anger. So he turned his head and shouted even more loudly at Elizabeth Liang, "Why did you jump on me? Who told you to do that? Are you dumb?" Elizabeth forced a weak smile. "It hit my waist... It really hurts. Can we go home?" James only got even madder. "Now you know how much it hurts? What were you thinking when you were showing off just now? Serves you right!" A grown man like him didn't need a woman to protect him! They got married for their own complicated reasons and not at all for love, but they were still legally husband and wife, weren't they? He was responsible for protecting his woman! "..." "I asked you a question, where's your answer?!" He bellowed at her in a fit of rage. "Who asked you to jump on me?!" Elizabeth was shivering and her face was ghastly pale. Looking at her made James feel anxious and angry, but there was also another emotion that he co
James Lu, who was still standing by the door out of worry, immediately pushed open the door when he heard the noise inside. "What is it this time?" Elizabeth Liang was hopping around in pain when she awkwardly turned to look at James with a miserable expression and said, "Nothing ..." James's face twisted as he scanned the room. He walked over, "Are you too stupid to use an ice pack?" "..." He picked up the ice pack from the floor and pointed to the bed, "Lie on your stomach!" "Huh?" He didn't say anything else, but the irritation in his eyes was palpable. Embarrassed, Elizabeth bit her lips. But she still limped to her bed and laid down. He snorted and was about to pull her clothes up. Elizabeth's heart jumped to her throat. She instantly reached out and held him down, "I ... You ..." James sarcastically blurted out, "Hmph, do you think there's any part of your body that I haven't seen yet?" As soon as he finished
Upon hearing this, James Lu stopped what he was doing and looked straight at Elizabeth Liang without any emotion. About a minute later, he smiled and asked, "So?" There was still a small scab at the corner of his lips, caused when he protected her as he rolled down the stairs yesterday ... "Just shout at me! Or ... hit me if you want!" Looking at Elizabeth's deadly serious face, James was amused. "That's an interesting request." He let go of her foot and said coolly, "But I can't be bothered to do something so depraved." Hearing what he said, Elizabeth not only didn't feel better, she but felt even more guilty. "But it's all because of me ..." If she weren't such a bookworm and actually learned to do anything other than study, then she wouldn't have embarrassed James along with her and screwed up his business deal. "Are you feeling bad that you're only good at school and nothing else?" Elizabeth nodded in silence. "Well, now y
After Elizabeth Liang entered the lobby of the Grand Dynasty Hotel, she took a deep breath and walked to the elevator. Isaac Bai was accompanying Benjamin Cheng as the latter inspected the hotel. He was bored out of his mind when he suddenly spotted Elizabeth. Isaac couldn't help but ask, "Hey, is Jimmy still here today?" Benjamin shook his head, "No, he hasn't been here in days." "That's strange." "What's wrong?" Isaac pointed at the elevator. "Do you see that girl in the white T-shirt? The one with a ponytail! She's Jimmy's wife, Elizabeth Liang." "That's her?" "If Jimmy isn't here, then why is she here?" Isaac thought for a moment. Then he took out his cellphone and dialed James Lu's number. He waited for a long time before James picked up. "Dude, come to the Grand Dynasty right now ... What? You're busy? Well, you'd better make some time! Because your wife's at the Grand Dynasty ..." ****** Elizabeth nervously stood in fro
