01 Don't touch me 
The presidential suite of the extravagant Kelly Hotel in New York City was dimly lit. Lizzie stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows in a scarlet strapless evening gown and pushed the windows open. A brisk wind blew in, slightly sobering her.Today was her wedding day yet she felt no elation, only grasping the heart-shaped pendant on the silver necklace around her neck. Where had he gone and why no word in a year, not even a call?Lizzie smiled bitterly. Married already, what meaning in pining for him?Turning, she saw the assortment of fruit wines on the table. She went over, picked up a glass and drank it in one go. The saccharine fruity taste with a hint of wine was new to her. An ingénue with alcohol, this first drink was an education in wine's bouquet.They said overindulgence brought intoxication and in this moment she craved just that, total inebriation, then she could tell herself this was all a dream - his leaving a fantasy and her marriage a chimera. Awaking she would agai

02 Stop treating me like a child.
The warm morning sun shone through the thin curtains and into the room. Lizzie opened her heavy eyelids, her blurry eyes scanning the large bedroom. He was nowhere to be found. Sitting up, she rubbed her slightly throbbing forehead. She must have drank too much last night. Hangovers really are a pain.She got out of bed and stood by the French windows. She stretched her long arms, yawning lazily. It’s a really nice day with the sun shining. She smiled slightly, thinking that if she couldn’t choose her situation, she might as well face it positively.She then entered the bathroom and freshened up. Looking into her closet, she saw mostly women’s clothing, all the latest styles. But the revealing outfits were not suitable for her. In the end, Lizzie chose a relatively conservative, pink chiffon skirt. Sitting on the sofa, she looked at the time. It was only 9 am, but she didn’t have any friends in America and didn’t know the area. She had nothing to do but sit in boredom. She flipped thr

03 He forced a kiss on me
At the elevator entrance, Bruno came to a halt. Lizzie, who had been looking down, didn't notice him stopping and bumped into his back. "Ouch!""Is there money on the ground for you to pick up?" Bruno turned around and asked her, having seen her following him closely with her head down since they turned the corner.Lizzie pouted, "Well, why did you stop all of a sudden?" She retorted.Bruno stepped back, stood beside her, and stretched out his long arm to pull her into his embrace. "How about this?""There are many people watching. Can't you be more gentlemanly?" Lizzie tried to pull his hand away but couldn't. She glared at him, annoyed."You're my wife; what's the problem?" Although Bruno said this, Lizzie didn't feel that way at all.Just then, the elevator doors opened, and Lizzie didn't say anything more, allowing him to hold her as they entered the elevator.The hotel manager who walked out of the elevator had a smile on his face and gave them an ambiguous look, nodding slightly

04 How Should I Address Him?
Bruno took the elevator back to the presidential suite on the top floor. As soon as he opened the door, he heard the sound of the television, and Lizzie was lying on the sofa, already asleep.He took off his suit jacket and casually threw it on the single sofa next to him, entered the bathroom, changed his clothes, turned on the shower head, and the sound of running water came from the bathroom.Upon hearing the noise, Lizzie opened her eyes, saw the black suit jacket on the sofa, and wondered if he had returned? She quickly got up from the sofa, walked into the bedroom, saw the bathroom door closed, and the sound of water coming from it. She hung the suit jacket in her hand on the hanger.Lizzie sat on the sofa, waiting for Bruno to come out. She still had something to say to him.Bruno came out of the bathroom in a white robe, glanced lightly at Lizzie sitting on the sofa, and turned to leave the bedroom. "Um, that..." Lizzie hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to call him."He

05 I can pretend not to see it
Bruno set down his coffee cup and looked at her, his smile light and seemingly insincere."What's up? Do you want coffee too?" Bruno's gaze slid over the coffee in front of him before meeting her eyes again.Lizzie shook her head, "No!"Bruno stood and moved to sit next to her, "What, what are you doing?" Lizzie tried to slide away from him as he neared, almost slipping off the chair, but Bruno caught her."I'm not going to hurt you, especially since you're my wife. Even if I did want to do something to you, it would be perfectly justified, wouldn't it?" Bruno said with a smile that sent chills down Lizzie's spine.Lizzie gently pushed him away, "I, I want to go upstairs.""Sure, let's go!" Bruno smiled and took her by the waist, leading her out of the dining room."I can walk myself." Lizzie looked up at him and spoke softly.Bruno ignored her, instead turning to the steward and saying, "Steward, you can go too!" At his words, the steward retracted his stepping foot, "Yes, young mast

06 So timid, yet still ventured out alone.
"No." Lizzie shook her head. Did he sense something?"I gave you a chance to speak, and if you don't say anything, don't blame me for not giving you the opportunity." Bruno said dismissively, sitting down on the couch nearby.Lizzie hesitated for a few seconds, "You seem to be very busy with work. Can I go back to my country earlier?""Anything else is fine, but not this one." Bruno refused directly without even looking at her.She knew the outcome would be like this. Anyway, she could only resign herself to staying here until he finished his work and returned to his country.Steward sent someone to deliver dinner, but Lizzie, in a fit of anger, didn't eat anything and went to her bedroom alone.Bruno didn't force her. This woman was not only ignorant but also willful. She agreed to have a honeymoon in the United States, but not even a week had passed, and she wanted to return. At least, he had to use this time to deal with everything he needed to manage.For more than a week, Bruno s

07 Return to our country
Lizzie suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at him. "You mean, we're going home?"Bruno nodded."Great!" Lizzie's gloominess instantly vanished, and she smiled brightly, turning around to give him a hug. "Thank you!"At this moment, Steward approached them. "Young Master, Young Madam, are you alright?"Lizzie shook her head. "I'm fine, sorry, Steward.""You don't have to apologize to me. I should have accompanied you outside. The young master was very worried," Steward said, relieved to see Lizzie safe and sound.Bruno hugged Lizzie. "Let's go! Pack your bags, so we don't miss the flight.""Alright," Lizzie quickly walked into the elevator as soon as the doors opened.Bruno turned to Steward. "Steward, you talk too much. Go prepare the car and wait at the airport," he said coldly before also entering the elevator.Lizzie returned to her room and quickly packed her clothes. There wasn't much, so she only needed a small carry-on bag.Lizzie glanced at Bruno, who was sitting motio

08 Does he truly love me?
"How can it be? In this house, you are the young lady. We have plenty of servants. You don't have to do anything. Just give orders to them. You just need to comfortably play your role as the young lady and there is no need for you to do the things that should be done by the servants." Flora said so, apparently for the servants to hear, but it was actually directed towards Lizzie, signifying that no matter how egalitarian she was in the Jiang family, in the Leng family, she must abide by the rules and act accordingly.Lizzie nodded, "I understand, Mom," she said, her voice very small.Flora laughed and said, "Good, understanding is important. If you are tired, do you want to go upstairs to rest?""I don't need to, I slept on the plane," Lizzie said, somewhat reserved. It was her first time here, and she couldn't help but feel uneasy and nervous."Come on, have some juice, oh, where is Yan? Didn't he come back with you?" Flora asked."Oh, he said he had a company meeting and wouldn't be

09 Am I your servant?
"Um, Kolo..." Lizzie began hesitantly.Bruno halted in his tracks, looking at her, "Since you seem to enjoy calling me Kolo, let's stick with that," he said, before continuing on his way.Lizzie jerked her hand free of his grip, glaring at him, "I can walk by myself, and besides, I don't like calling you Kolo." He was a presumptuous man. It was as if every time he appeared, she was forced to swallow words she hadn't yet spoken."Lizzie, remember, in the Kolo household, you are Miss Kolo, a virtuous lady of good breeding. If my parents find out about your glaring and shouting, well, the consequences could be severe," Bruno murmured into her ear in a lowered voice.Lizzie cast her gaze downward. His words held truth.Bruno took Lizzie's hand once again, and this time, Lizzie did not resist.In the dining room, Yelun and Flora were already seated at the table. Upon seeing Bruno and Lizzie approach, Yelun immediately called out, "Bruno, Lizzie, come sit."Bruno and Lizzie took their seats

10 Bruno's concubine
“怎么这么问?你吃醋了?”Bruno反问她, Lizzie looked at him and sighed, "Just my luck." Reluctantly, she helped him put on his shirt, her delicate fingertips brushing against his firm skin. She squinted and fumbled with the buttons, her fingers trembling slightly. Finally, she finished buttoning the shirt."Done," she said, quickly retreating to the bathroom. The door was locked a second later.Lizzie stood in front of the bathroom mirror, patting her face and washing it as quickly as possible. When she emerged, she found Bruno already dressed and sitting on the couch. She grabbed a soft yellow dress from the closet and changed in the bathroom."Um, aren't you going downstairs?" Lizzie asked, standing in front of Bruno. She felt a little scared in the unfamiliar home.Bruno put down the financial magazine he was reading. "Let's go!"Lizzie picked up her backpack from the couch and caught Bruno's arm as he was about to walk out the door. "Cold... Yan."Bruno turned to look at her. "What's the matter?"
