"..." "You don't love me, and I ..." Elizabeth Liang paused and then slowly saying. "I don't love you either. I know you're in love with someone else, and if that person ever came back, you'd probably want to divorce me as fast as possible ..." She felt a pang of pain in her heart, but she tried her best to smile calmly and peacefully. "If I become used to taking what you give me and relying on you for everything, what should I do when you're gone?" "..." James Lu's imposing figure trembled slightly. He didn't know whether it was because she said that they didn't love each other, or because she said that he would divorce her as fast as possible. "After what happened with Uncle Wu, I've truly realized that just studying is not enough. It took me some time to understand that, but it's not too late yet, is it? I need to learn more than what my college can offer me. I have to go out and face the challenges of society." James moved his lips. After a while, he s
"You ..." Elizabeth Liang couldn't move. Her pretty face turned white from panic and the force that was put on it. James Lu lifted her hands above her head and got even closer to her. "What did you think of me as? A roommate? Or a saint who was helping you with no conditions at all?" His warm breath blew onto her face, and the heat caused her pale complexion to instantly flush red. "..." Elizabeth managed to shake her head a little under his grasp. "Ha!" James sneered, "We're barely newly-weds, and you've already forgotten whose surname you took?" Elizabeth frantically shook her head. "Should I do something to make sure you remember?" James leaned closer and their noses touched. "How about a kiss?" Elizabeth's heart pounded violently in alarm. "No ..." He glared at her and snorted. Instead of kissing her, he pushed her onto the sofa. Elizabeth was a little dazed from the impact and looked at him blankly. "James ..."
Samuel Lee was deep in thought during the whole drive, but he couldn't understand why his boss was suddenly interested in building a library for A University out of the blue. His boss's father, the chairman, has always been very invested in charity work. But Mr. Boss himself was only focused on making money, and left the charity and good deeds to his father. So what was up with him this time? "Welcome Mr. Lu, welcome!" President Fang had been waiting at the campus gate with several high-ranking officials since early morning. When he saw James Lu get out of his car, he happily walked forward and tightly held James's hands as he gave him a hefty shake. James frowned slightly when he was grasped by the President's somewhat sweaty palms. Then he said in a calm voice, "President Fang!" There were more than ten people standing in front of James and Samuel. Looking at the crew, Samuel was secretly surprised that it is almost equal to that they make all the
President Fang also stood up with a look of surprise and panic. "There's no need to hurry, Mr. Lu, could we discuss this further?" As he said this, he squinted at the officials standing on the side. One of the officials forced himself to step up. "Mr. Lu, President Fang is eager to build this library, not only as an achievement for A University, but also as a gift for all of our students!" "Exactly!" The others chimed in and nodded in agreement, but didn't dare to raise their voices. James Lu smiled and turned to look at the anxious President Fang. "Since President Fang mentioned that fifty million is not a small amount, shouldn't you give me a tour of the current library before I agree to invest in it?" President Fang froze, and then broke into a smile. "Yes, yes, of course, I should. This way please, Mr. Lu!" James nodded and glanced at the officials who were ready to go along with them. He said coolly, "We're just having a casual stroll. I don't believe
They turned to where the voice came from, and saw two girls standing behind them. The girl in front was beautiful and radiant, she was wearing a very short skirt and a fancy blouse, with a pair of incredibly tall high heels on her feet. Seeing that they were all looking in her direction, the girl smiled even brighter. She left the other girl behind and ran over to them. Looking at how fast she was running despite her sky-high heels, Samuel Lee was secretly amazed that she somehow managed to not fall over. James Lu looked at the girl standing before him with furrowed brows. He knew this person. Their families got along well, and they were neighbors for years. Even now, his mother often played cards with her mother. He looked around the huge campus and couldn't help but feel frustrated by how unlucky he was! "Why did you come to my college today, James? I'm so happy to see you!" James dispassionately replied, "Oh, Margot." That's right, this beau
Elizabeth Liang took advantage of the fact that she had no classes this morning and went to work at Kuture. She had returned and was walking with Evelyn Wu to the library. Evelyn suddenly pulled her. "Elizabeth is that ... your husband?" Elizabeth looked over and saw James Lu. Even though they had a small quarrel last night, Elizabeth's heart still skipped a beat from the nervousness and surprise of seeing him here. Why was he at her school? "Huh, why is Margot Wang with him?" Evelyn was puzzled. "..." Elizabeth froze. She was so focused on how striking and luminous he was that she didn't pay attention to anything else. Evelyn was right. Margot trotted alongside James as she fussed about something with a cloying expression on her face. Evelyn grimaced. "I thought your husband was here for you, but he's with that pretentious woman Margot Wang. What the hell is your husband doing?" "..." Elizabeth was in a pretty cheerful mood just a
They looked over, and saw that a white soccer ball was flying straight towards Elizabeth Liang! Judging from the speed of the ball, the kicker must've mustered all of his strength to send this ball flying. If the ball landed on a person, it would be a scarily heavy blow! As soon as Evelyn Wu saw the ball, she immediately widened her eyes in horror and screamed, and then completely stopped moving. She blankly watched as the ball came closer and closer... The ball was soaring through the air at such a ferocious speed that Elizabeth couldn't bring herself to react. She was sure that the ball was going to hit her squarely in the face! She was so frightened that she just froze in place. Across from them, James Lu's eyes darkened. He angrily and anxiously looked towards Elizabeth, who was freaked out of her mind - That idiot, didn't she know how to dodge? James couldn't even be bothered to look at Margot Wang in front of him when he furiously shouted at he
"..." Elizabeth Liang pursed her lips and stopped talking. President Fang was not going to let that slip. "Show your sincerity when you apologize, Ms. Liang. How could you expect Mr. Lu to understand you when you sound like a mosquito? Come on, say it again, louder this time!" Seeing the smile on James Lu's face grow even wider, Elizabeth took a deep breath to refrain from punching him in the face. James A*shole Lu, he was having fun with this! Whatever, she was just going to thank him for blocking that ball for her, and it won't kill her anyway. "THANK YOU!" Elizabeth's voice was much louder this time, and could be heard up to 300 feet away. James was finally satisfied and winked at her. "You're welcome, miss." President Fang was satisfied as well. "Yes, exactly." After that, he began buttering up James, "I see that you're not only incredibly athletic and agile, Mr. Lu, you also have a true heart of gold. I dare say that a glorious deed like this is
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
