I Only Want You novel Chapter 56

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." Only after they arrived at the golf course, did she knew it. "When I saw that you two were together, I wasn't sure if he was aware of the relationship between me and your father. I didn't want to be rash after knowing about what August Liang's family did. After all, I can do business with anyone, but you're different. You are just like a daughter to me. I don't want you to be used as a money-making tool."

"I see," Elizabeth pursed her lips as tears welled up in her eyes. With deep gratitude, she said, "Thank you, Uncle Wu."

She never thought that there would be another man in this world who cared for her and looked after her as if she were his own daughter. His love and protection almost reminded her of her own father.

"Even if you knew that you couldn't win, why did you still face the challenge anyway?" He smiled gently when he recalled how clumsy and funny Elizabeth looked while playing golf, like an amused father. "Were you that eager to help him get this deal?"

Elizabeth blushed, lowered her head, and nodded gently.

"I've heard that James Lu is an aggressive businessman, but he seemed to treat you quite well earlier," he looked at her and said. "He and you ..."

Elizabeth was dying inside from the guilt of ruining James's business. But now, it looked like there was a chance to turn the tables around.

Although Sir Wu was being very nice to her at the moment, Elizabeth knew that it would be naive to assume that he would give the deal to James Lu only because she put in a few good words for him.

After thinking more, she decided to go all out. "Uncle Wu, he's actually ... my husband ..."

After saying that, her face flushed as red as a tomato.

This was her first time introducing their relationship to another person in this way - as husband and wife.

What a strange yet heartwarming title!
