"Well..." Samuel scratched his head. While waiting for the traffic light, he turned around to look at James who was sleeping, and then said with embarrassment. "I think we'd better go to the back mountain."
"Not today. Please just send us home."
"Young Madam... Well, I'm not trying to go against you. But Mr. Lu just asked me to drive you there. If we go back to the South Lake..." President would definitely be angry with him.
"He's so tired. I want him to go home and have a rest early. We can go to the back mountain another day."
"That's also what I want. But you also know his temper. If he didn't want to go, he would have gone home long ago. How could he ask to send you to the back mountain by himself?"
Elizabeth looked at his hand and knew that Samuel was right. If he really didn't want to go, how could he go with her in exhaustion?
But even so, she still said, "Just do as I said." After that, she thought for a moment and added, "If he's really angry, you can say that I forced you to do it."
Hearing this, Samuel suddenly shook his head. "Please don't! Young Madam! In that case, I will only have one result — being beaten to death by President!" Stop kidding! Although President was very kind to Young Madam! But if he really listened to Young Madam today, then... Well, it's certainly a slight exaggeration to say he would have been beaten to death. But from what he knew of President, President would dock him at least three months' salary.
Therefore, he decided to refuse Young Madam mercilessly.
After saying all these, He asked her bitterly in a pleasing tone, "Young Madam, you are so kind. You don't want me to be beaten to death, do you?"
Elizabeth did not expect Samuel to say that. She gave him a dry laugh and said, "You're exaggerating, aren't you? Haha."
Samuel shook his head. In order to enhance the credibility of what he had just said, he also swore, "I swear to God! If I lie, I'll be turned into a puppy!"
After that, he sighed silently in his heart. He didn't know where his future wife was yet. But today, to be able to save more money for their future home, he had shamelessly been a puppy for once.
"..." Elizabeth frowned, but had to compromise. "Well... Then so be it."
***
The back mountain of the Liang family was not actually behind or around the Liang family's villa. It was on a hill in the southern suburbs and was not very large. It was bought by Elizabeth's parents many years ago. They were also buried here later when they died.
Their car stopped at the foot of the mountain. Samuel turned around and shouted at James, who was still asleep, "Pres..."
Almost at the moment when she saw Samuel turning around, Elizabeth felt guilty and immediately released James's hand. Then she pretended to be serious as if she hadn't done anything bad. She interrupted what Samuel wanted to say in time and whispered, "Let him sleep."
"But..."
"It doesn't matter." Elizabeth smiled.
