There was no way in hell that anyone could continue eating now. Made of stone? Didn't know how to take the initiative? How the f*ck was he supposed to take the initiative? They slept in separate rooms and had no feelings for each other, was he supposed to force her like some kind of animal? James Lu put down his bowl and chopsticks and closed his eyes, speechless. "Dear Mrs. Song, with all due respect, do you really believe that it's appropriate for you to say that in front of your son?" "Hehe..." Lydia Song chuckled. "I just really, really want a grandchild! You know how adorable Mrs. Lee's grandson is!" "So?" James tried to be patient. "Just because Mrs. Lee has a grandson, I have to hurry up and give you one too?" "Of course! That would be wonderful! You and Elizabeth got married because you two are in love, right? You've always been pretty naughty and annoying since you were a kid, but you've always listened to me. You wouldn't turn down this tiny litt
The next day, Elizabeth Liang was incessantly told off by the dean in front of the entire class for not handing in the drawing from yesterday. She went on and on about how she couldn't believe that such a brilliant student would damage the school's reputation and so on. And of course, not only was she publically reprimanded, and forced to endure gossipy eyes from the entire class, but her credits for that lesson were also no doubt out of the window. Perhaps the only good thing that came out of it was that, because Elizabeth didn't hand in the drawing, everyone collectively let go of how James Lu said that she matched his tastes and that he was going to scout her as a talent. Since, well, how could someone who couldn't even hand in a drawing possibly be qualified to work at Lu Enterprises? After class, Margot Wang walked over to Elizabeth's table. She sneered and mocked Elizabeth ruthlessly, "Looks like your dreams yesterday have turned to dust, Elizabeth. You seriousl
There was only a week left until exams. Elizabeth Liang had to go to class, work part-time, then go home to cook and do housework every single day without fail, and it was exhausting. Seeing her stressed and all worn out day after day, James Lu not only didn't offer any comfort, he always added fuel to the fire by saying... "I'm not gonna pity you. Who told you to bite off more than you can chew by working? Hmph!" That's what James said, but he would always order somebody else to buy Elizabeth's groceries for her. Every night, after she finished her housework, he would call her to his study and make her take out her textbook so that he could help her highlight the key information in her culture courses for her to revise. He did it in the name of not wanting her to fail and embarrass him. Elizabeth's daily schedule was filled to the brim, but her days also passed in the blink of an eye. Before she knew it, it was time for the exams. After finish
On Elizabeth Liang's way to dinner, she took some time to call James Lu. However, she hung up a second after she made the call. She would probably be better off making a difficult request like this over a text message. Otherwise, she'll probably have to bear through another roaring temper tantrum from that angry little lion. As Elizabeth thought about this, her delicate fingers danced across the screen - James, are you busy? James was having an overseas video conference with several of the company's senior executives, when his muted phone suddenly started buzzing on his desk. The sound was obviously quite obtrusive in such a quiet room. When all the people in the room collectively looked toward his cellphone, James furrowed his eyebrows and secretly cursed at whomever was texting him. James glanced at the screen and saw that it was Elizabeth. He gritted his teeth, but still picked up his phone with a composed expression. Without getting up, he put hi
"Elizabeth," When Margot Wang entered the private suite, she headed straight to Elizabeth Liang and sat down next to her. She glanced at the untouched glass of juice, then calmly picked it up and handed it to her. "Here's your juice." Elizabeth felt a little overwhelmed by how thoughtful Margot was being. Although she didn't really want to drink it, she was too gracious to turn down Margot's hospitality and took the glass, "Thank you." "You're welcome." Another person who was close to where they were noticed the situation and kicked up a fuss, "Why are you playing favorites, Margot? How come only Elizabeth gets a juice?" "Yeah! You're so nice to Elizabeth, Margot." Elizabeth awkwardly opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say. Margot smiled playfully and said, "Of course I am, she's the prettiest girl in our department. Shoo, shoo, now go off and play somewhere else!" The crowd was just teasing them, so they smiled and went back to pl
Evelyn Wu was tired from singing, and her throat was parched. She put down her microphone and wanted to get a drink from where she was sitting before. But she was surprised to find that Elizabeth Liang wasn't there, nor anywhere else in the room. "Huh... where's Elizabeth?" Evelyn took a sip of beer to moisten her throat and sat down. But she began getting nervous after a while since Elizabeth still wasn't back. Places like these were always messy and unsafe. Evelyn prayed that nothing bad has happened to Elizabeth. Distraught, she picked up her phone and tried to call Elizabeth. However, after one ring, she saw a phone that was lit up and buzzing on the table before her - Elizabeth didn't even take her phone! Evelyn waited patiently for a long time, but Elizabeth was nowhere to be seen. Evelyn couldn't sit still any longer. She grabbed Elizabeth's cellphone and stood up, then began going around the room and questioning her classmates. They wer
The door was opened from the outside. Only a dim yellow wall lamp was turned on in the room. The man who entered looked at the woman on the bed who was squirming slightly, and his lips curled in satisfaction. He closed the door and walked in step by step as he unbuttoned his shirt. The man wasn't wearing much in this summer weather. Soon enough, he had taken off his shirt and pants, leaving only a pair of tight briefs. His fat and bulging body crawled onto the bed and gently lifted the sheets. He watched the petite woman under the sheets. Every inch of her skin was flushed red, and she was anxiously and restlessly writhing around. A devilish smile appeared on his face. "Feels bad, doesn't it, honey?" Elizabeth Liang felt as if her whole body was burning, and the heat made her so uncomfortable that she wanted to cry. She was barely conscious at this point. She heard the voice in a daze and nodded desperately. It felt so bad. "Don't w
James Lu closed the door with his foot and carried Elizabeth Liang, who was barely conscious, up the stairs. The way he walked was urgent but incredibly steady, each step he took was strong and steadfast. "So hot..." Elizabeth mumbled in irritation. She currently felt as if she was stuck in a barren desert, choking from the heat and breathless from her thirst. She wanted to go out and find a stream to submerge herself in, so that she could escape from this burning emptiness. She rubbed her head against James's chest and clung to his shoulders. His cooler body temperature made her sigh with content. As the woman in James's arms let her hands freely roam around his body, he frowned and growled through gritted teeth, "F*cking stop it!" His command did nothing to stop her movements, if anything they grew even more audacious. "..." Utterly speechless, James quickened his pace. He finally arrived before Elizabeth's room. James effortlessl
