I Only Want You novel Chapter 34

The whole process in the courthouse only took a few minutes, but Elizabeth Liang felt as if her whole world has changed.

She was currently holding two small booklets with two big gilded words printed on the covers: marriage certificate.

Was she... married?

She went from being a homeless and disgraced heiress to being the wife of A City magnate James Lu. It all felt like a dream.

James stood next to Elizabeth and watched as she stared at the marriage certificate in her hand. He grunted and said, "Too late to take it back now!"

Elizabeth curled her lips. "I wasn't going to."

"Well, you can't anyway!" James grabbed one of the booklets and flipped through it. Then he stuffed it back into her hand and glanced at her. "Mrs. Lu?"

Elizabeth was not prepared for that "Mrs. Lu". "Huh?"

"Shouldn't you give me a kiss as a wedding gift?" James said as he gave her a mischievous wink.

"... Um..." Was it necessary?

However, looking at him at this moment, a strange feeling bubbled in Elizabeth's heart. It wasn't disdain or annoyance, but she couldn't tell what it was.

"Then should I kiss you instead?" "What?"

Elizabeth froze as James's handsome face got closer and closer, and she could feel her heart beating wildly out of control.

It's even closer now!

Was he... really going to kiss her? Should she let him? Or should she righteously turn him down?

Her brain reacted instinctively before she could think it through. Looking at his face right in front of her, Elizabeth decided to just tightly shut her eyes.

One second passed, then two, and three...

Huh?

Elizabeth opened her eyes in confusion and saw that James's face was just five centimeters away from hers. The smell of cedarwood and tobacco on his body invaded and overwhelmed her senses.

Seeing her confused expression, James smirked. "Are you disappointed that I didn't do it?"

"..." Why was he so annoying?

But in the next second, James pulled her into his arms.

Elizabeth was stunned again and had no idea what he was doing.

"I look forward to our life together, Mrs. Lu."

This embrace... was the first time Elizabeth had felt warmth and comfort like this, along with the distinct liveliness of a young man. She felt as if she was leaning into a peaceful haven, and it made her feel safe and protected. Elizabeth, who was still mad about his prank before this, couldn't help but grin with him. "I look forward to it as well, Mr. Lu."

"Of course, Mrs. Lu," James nodded and let go of her, then looked into her eyes and said seriously, "Your smile on the marriage certificate looked... so stupid!"

James raised his eyebrows and grabbed one of the marriage certificates from Elizabeth's hand again. He waved it in front of her and said, "One for each."

With this, he took her hand. "Come on, Mrs. Lu. Let's go home."

******

Lydia Song, who had rushed over after hearing the news, couldn't stop looking through the two marriage certificates over and over again. She looked overjoyed as she said, "My God, are you two really married?"

Elizabeth nodded, acting like a model daughter-in-law. "Yes, madam."

"Madam? You're registered now, you should be calling me mom!"

"..." James was speechless and extremely unhappy. "You're the stingiest person ever, Mrs. Song!"

"You're the CEO of a company and a husband now, and you're making your unemployed mother buy you dinner? What kind of son are you?!"

"You have my dad, and he's a chairman okay?"

Looking at the two busy bickering beside her, Elizabeth felt warm and content inside. Was this what "family" felt like?

And to her delight, she was now also a member of this family.

Thinking of this, Elizabeth couldn't help but smile and become lost in thought.

After a while, she felt someone push her shoulder. When she looked up, she saw Lydia and James both looking at her. James raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you say?"

"What?" Elizabeth wasn't even listening to them, what were they asking about?

"Elizabeth, I made a reservation at the Grand Dynasty Hotel, how about we go there for dinner?" Lydia smiled lovingly.

Oh, that's what they were asking about! Elizabeth answered sweetly in a soft voice, "It's all up to you, mom."

Lydia was very pleased by her docility. "It's okay, if you don't like the food there, we can change to another place."

"I'm perfectly happy to go there, mom."

"It's all up to you, mom!" James sarcastically repeated Elizabeth's reply. He let go of Lydia and leaned on the sofa, "Guess what, I don't wanna eat there anymore!"

However, Lydia couldn't care less. "Well you can forget it then, we'll go and enjoy ourselves!" With this, she took Elizabeth's hand. "Let's go, Elizabeth! Wow, your skin is amazing, so soft and smooth, what's your skincare routine?"

Elizabeth was forced to follow Lydia. She turned to look at James, who was still sulking behind them. "Mom, he..."
