Trial Of Love - Chapter 486

Lover?

The three of them looked at the person who opened the door.

It was Wang Ji’s first time meeting the person whom Elizabeth has been contacting and concerned with. He was amazed by how attractive the man was. He was the male version of the girl. Such aura and charisma. Truly the man comes from a dignified family as well. It made him wonder if the man could be in the same situation as the girl. But, for a moment, he felt like he knew the man. He just couldn’t recall who he was and where he met the man. He felt he was so old that his memory was not doing him any good at all.

“It’s been awhile Miss Knigthley.”

“Hmm, a lover? Are you jealous?” Elizabeth replied with humour as he was not pleased by the man’s comment at all.

“Oh please, if he is as handsome as me, why not?” He responded to her attack and did not hold back and made a ridiculous comment as well.

“Well, he is indeed and is smart as well.” She gave off this proud smile despite what she was saying was a lie. She can’t compare Liu Lingxin to the man because he is indeed handsome. If she was not so deeply in love with Yun Shen, she would even admit that he is much more handsome than Yun Shen.

“Hmm, then I’m not jealous. Men like him would not be able to protect you.” He said as he retreated back to the office and sat down on the chair without even escorting nor welcoming the girl inside.

President Chen felt so furious with the man’s manner. He couldn’t believe he just walked away without even welcoming the girl in. He worriedly laughed at the situation and said, “Miss Knightley, please come in, would you like some refreshment.”

“Please.” She answered with such a smile that means, get out.

Both Wang Ji and President Chen as both of them felt they weren’t needed in such a situation. Wang Ji explained to the girl he’ll be in his office doing some paperwork, whilst President Chen went and personally prepared the man’s requested coffee earlier and refreshment for the girl. They were too scared to stay and left without any complaints.

Now that the two of them were alone, the two continue to have such indifferent manners towards each other.

For no reason, Cris was furious that the girl was praising the man right in front of him as if he was better than him. He couldn’t explain it, but he was indeed jealous.

“Don’t worry, he’ll be able to do what you ask for. He is a very skilled man as well in which, as you can see, he can do great things which you can.”

“Hmmf.” He sneered at her remarks and responded in a contemptuous manner, “You think I can’t do what he’s doing now.”

“Yes, if you can, you didn’t have to ask for my help.”

“Girl, you really don’t know who you are talking to.” He mockingly spoke to her with great annoyance that the girl was looking down at him.

“Nah, not interested.” Elizabeth shrugs her shoulders as a way to show her disinterest of what the man has to say. Despite the man being treatening, she didn’t feel any malice at all with his words. He may act tough sometimes, but in the end, she knows he’ll never do her any harm.

“How dare you…”

“I just did.” She responded before he could even speak another word.

“Fine, whatever. I bet he couldn’t even shoot a gun anyways.”

“Actually, he can.” She commented which took the man by surprise, for it was indeed true Liu Lingxin can shoot a gun and was very talented like his grandfather. She has checked Liu Lingxin’s background and was too surprised when she found out the man actually did quite a long time in the military before taking medicine.

“Then, I guess I know which families he’s from.” He proudly smiled because he could already tell who the guy is. It was not hard for him to narrow it down.

“Oh?”

“No worries, I can even meet him in person if I want to.”

Elizabeth was curious whether he was acquainted indeed with Liu Lingxin. The man does have good connections in the country and seeing he is a relative with President Chen, she too has listed down and investigated the relatives who are connected with President Chen.

“You look as if you’re curious if I’m really acquainted with him.”

“What makes you say that?”

Cris couldn’t answer the girl at all. But, he could tell that the girl was indeed curious. It’s not as if he could read her mind or the fact they think alike or something. But, strangely, somehow, he is quite versed and familiar with the girl’s manner. And, it’s something he couldn’t explain at all.

“Dunno.”

“Then, you might be wrong.”

“Nah, I know you’re curious. But, don’t worry, give me a day and I’ll personally get the result, so you don’t need to bother about it.”

“Then, you must be acquainted then?”

“Ha-ha, I know you were curious.”

Elizabaeth was fl.u.s.tered and turned all red. She didn’t expect the man was trapping her to reveal the truth.

“Ha-ha, don’t worry Miss Knightley, I’ll keep everything a secret between us.”

President Chen walked in his office with all the refreshment. He was shocked to see the man all laughing to his wits while the girl looked as if she was pointing a gun directly at the man’s forehead. He wondered what could have happened during the time he was away.

“You better not hurt him.” Elizabeth warned the man with such a serious expression on his face.

“And, what will you do if I do so?” Cris’ tone of voice changed as well since he was somehow offended by how the girl treated him. What’s worse, he couldn’t understand what’s so special about this guy that she’s so overprotective about him.

“Are you actually challenging me.” Elizabeth got up from her seat as she looked down at the man.

“Oh, please, I dare you.” Cris got up as well as she challengingly looked back at the girl.

President Chen felt like he was looking at a beautiful phoenix and a mighty dragon facing off each other. The two are indeed from powerful backgrounds and if they do challenge each other, he too couldn’t tell who would actually win.

He is well familiar with the man’s family and how powerful they are. But, little does the world know about the Knightley’s family as well. Yes, the boy does have a connection with the other side, but so does the Knightley. What’s even more interesting is the rumor that they could even be a part of it.

“Mr. Cris, it seems you have crossed the line here.”

“When did I ever cross the line Miss Knightley? It was you who spoke such words without me even thinking about doing such an act.”

Elizabeth thought for a second about it and realized it was her who indeed initiated such troubles. Was it because she felt such a strange aura of the man that she suddenly felt worried for Liu Lingxin.

“I’m just saying, don’t do anything stupid.” She spoke as she sat down back on the chair.

“I never planned to in the first place.” Cris too followed suit and sat back down with a cheeky smile on his face as he found the girl quite attractive when she acted in such a way.
