I Only Want You novel Chapter 45

"Yeah!"

James Lu put on a serious face and moved the paper away. "Then don't you know that you've committed a crime?"

"What?" Elizabeth Liang widened her eyes and looked at the tall man in front of her in disbelief.

James patiently and carefully led her into his trap like a veteran hunter, "You were drawing me, right?"

Elizabeth blushed. She didn't want to admit it, but she had to. "Yes."

"Good." He nodded. "Then did you receive my consent?"

"..." Her face drooped as she shook her head honestly.

"Which means, your actions have violated my portrait rights, has it not?"

Elizabeth was frozen."..."

James looked at her dumbfounded and silly red face. He was secretly delighted, but that did not show on his face at all. Instead, he looked extremely angry. "Elizabeth Liang..."

"Huh?"

"Do you know that I," James paused then said, "can sue you!" Elizabeth was completely lost and bewildered. All she did was draw a casual portrait of him because she was bored. Is it a big deal?

"Well James Lu, yes... yes I drew you, so what are you gonna do?" She was extremely scared and panicking on the inside, but stubbornly refused to let him win. "You're gonna sue me just over this? Are you even a man?"

Still angry, Elizabeth continued to shout loudly, hoping to overshadow him a little in intensity. "You wanna sue me? Go ahead then! Have you thought of how embarrassing it would be for you if your wife goes to jail? You think it would feel good for a big shot like you to have an imprisoned wife?"

"You..." It was James's turn to be stunned this time.

Did Elizabeth... lose her mind out of nowhere?

Her voice was suddenly so loud that it made his ears hurt.

He was just teasing her, wasn't she kind of overreacting?

"What you, what me? You a*shole!" God it felt good to insult him!

Who was James Lu? The CEO of Lu Enterprises, a man who owned hundreds of billions of assets and led thousands of employees!

After a few seconds, James came to his senses and shouted angrily, "Elizabeth Liang! How dare you!"

Elizabeth, who was enjoying the situation, immediately felt her stomach twist when she saw James's enraged face.

What did she say and why did she say it?

"What's wrong? You've got nothing to say now?" James gritted his teeth. "Go on, weren't you having a good time?"

"That... that's because..." As she spoke, Elizabeth remembered how he said that he would sue her. He wasn't serious, was he?

"Are... are you really going to sue me?"

"I don't think I can get over your horrible behavior," He glared at her. "Unless I sue the hell out of you!"

Elizabeth put the cup on the ground, looked away, and came up with an idea—

She looked at him with a smile and calmly glanced at the paper in his hand. "I don't know much about the law, but you probably know it very well, don't you?"

James snorted proudly. "I'm glad that you know it." He actually didn't know much either. After all, he had a team of lawyers for a reason!

"However, the most important thing in court is evidence, is it not?"

"Isn't this what that is?" As he spoke, he vigorously shook the evidence in his hand — the drawing paper.

"But what if it doesn't exist anymore?"

As soon as Elizabeth finished the sentence, she pounced on him while he was distracted, trying to grab the thing in his hand.

James had been getting into fights since he was a kid, so it wasn't hard for him to react swiftly.

Before she could even reach the paper, he raised his hand and even lifted it above his head.

"Hey! Give it back to me!"

James's eyes flashed with anger. "Do you want me to f*ck you up, Elizabeth?"

How dare she make a sneak attack!

When they've finally reached the floor, Elizabeth was still held in James's arms and above him.

Elizabeth blinked. Her head was still in a muddled daze, both because of the fright and the aftereffects of tumbling down a flight of stairs.

Wait!

What's this thing on her lips? Why does it feel a little soft and... warm?

Stunned, Elizabeth lowered her head and looked at what was under her lips— Didn't this only happen in romance novels and TV dramas? Why was this happening to her after falling down some stairs?

Her lips were tightly pressed against James's! Elizabeth felt like her brain exploded.

Were they...kissing?

Elizabeth's face turned ridiculously red as she stared at his lips in a daze.

Perhaps because of the impact, the corner of his well-shaped lips seemed to have been bit through by Elizabeth, and beads of blood were oozing out.

Elizabeth propped up her body in a panic and looked at James under her.

His eyes were closed as if he had fainted.

"J... James?" Her head was blank as she softly called his name, "Are you okay?"

But the man lying on the floor did not respond.

"James?" She said again, louder this time.

Still nothing!

Elizabeth looked back at the stairs. They weren't very high, but they weren't low either. Moreover, he was protecting her with his body. Could he be... seriously injured?

Now she was really panicking. She checked his breath with trembling hands. Fortunately, he was only passed out.

Elizabeth hurriedly got up and knelt beside James. She had attended a safety course before but was still scared to push him too hard. She stretched out her shaking hand and gently patted his cheek.

"Wake up... James..."
