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
Sir Wu grumbled, "First thing I heard when I came back was that you were driven out by August Liang's family! I'm sorry I came back late!" Elizabeth Liang shook her head and said with a smile, "It's all passed, Uncle Wu." She was eventually going to take back everything she had lost. "Well, you're an optimistic one! How dare the Liang family still has the gall to talk business with me? Shameless, dirty rats!" "... Uncle Wu." "What's on your mind?" "Did you really recognize me as soon as you saw me?" Sir Wu was a wise man. He immediately knew what Elizabeth was going to say the second she opened her mouth. "Are you going to ask me why I pretended not to know you and let you compete with Josephine Liang even though I recognized you already?" Elizabeth nodded. She was wondering why Uncle Wu already knew her surname without James's introduction. Sir Wu grinned, "You knew that James Lu was there for business, didn't you girl?" "Yes
James Lu was still in a meeting when he received Isaac Bai's phone call. He immediately abandoned the meeting and rushed to the Grand Dynasty Hotel. God damn it Elizabeth Liang, why was she at the Grand Dynasty? A thought flashed across his mind. He couldn't help but frown as he drove. Could she have... After throwing his car key to the doorman, he rushed into the lobby and saw Isaac and Benjamin Cheng waiting for him in the leisure area. He quickly ran over and asked, "Where's Elizabeth?" Isaac shrugged and threw the cigarette that he had just finished smoking into the ashtray. "One of Ben's workers said that she's on the 29th floor." Isaac saw Elizabeth taking the elevator. He didn't know what she was doing here, but he didn't want to follow her by himself. So he asked a staff member of the Grand Dynasty to see where she was going. James looked at Benjamin and asked, "Is Sir Wu in your hotel?" "Sir Wu?" Benjamin leaned against the back of the
"Uncle Wu, Uncle Wu! Stop making me listen to that disgusting word!" "Calm down first, okay?" Elizabeth Liang sighed slightly. "I admit that I should have told you in advance, but I did it because I felt guilty that I embarrassed you and made you lose the deal, didn't I? So ..." James Lu was incensed at this point, so he began ridiculing her without thought, "So you made use of your body?" "What ... what are you saying?" Elizabeth held back her anger. "I did go and find him because of that piece of land, but it wasn't like what you thought." "Like what? Tell me." James walked to the sofa and plopped down. He lit a cigarette in frustration and exasperation. Elizabeth followed and sat beside him. "We only chatted for a bit, and nothing else happened." "You guys chatted for thirty minutes?" James raised his eyebrows sarcastically. "If I hadn't gone there, what would have happened after you finished chatting?" "You..." Elizabeth's face turned
At the Grand Dynasty Hotel. Isaac Bai couldn't help but interrupt as he watched James Lu recklessly drink one glass after another, "Hey, hey, hey, dude, are you sure you can handle that?" Having already heard the entire story, Isaac snorted. "You should let your wife see you, maybe she'll be moved to tears and forgive you then." James ignored him and continued to drink. Benjamin Cheng held down his glass and said, "Stop drinking." Not being able to drink, James turned to light a cigarette. After taking two deep puffs, he looked at Benjamin and said, "That damn woman did it on purpose, didn't she? How am I supposed to react to that?" Benjamin swirled the wine in his glass and said, "I'm sure she meant well, but you," he glanced at James and said. "You went a bit too far." Isaac concurred, "Exactly! She's such a sweet and kind girl. Imagine how upset she is right now after you misunderstood her like that!" "Don't I know that I went too far?
"Why do you look so sad today, Elizabeth?" Evelyn Wu asked with concern after she finished answering a phone call and looked at Elizabeth Liang's gloomy face. Elizabeth smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing. Maybe I didn't sleep well last night." "Are you sure?" Evelyn carefully examined her for a while. The bags under her eyes were dark and heavy, which seemed to confirm that she had a bad night's sleep. "Yeah." "I don't believe you!" Evelyn shook her head and disagreed. "This is more than just not getting a good sleep!" "..." "Did you have a quarrel with your husband?" Elizabeth was lost for words. She forced a smile and complained, "It's really a pity that you're not a psychic, Evelyn." "Haha, I was right!" Evelyn then asked Elizabeth curiously, "Tell me, what happened?" "It's really no big deal." Elizabeth was still feeling depressed. Just thinking about his expression and attitude yesterday, she would be upset, so sh
