Love is Sweet: The Nation’s Princess Meets Her True Love

Excerpt: The corners of Lu Chenjun’s lips slightly curled up into an unreadable smile. ‘I let you go once because I was foolish and I thought that was what you wanted. I didn’t cherish you and didn’t treat you well before. Now that you are back, I will definitely not let you leave my side again. . . never again.’ Lu Chenjun stared at the woman on the screen with gentle and loving eyes, ‘Yinghui, let me take care of you, spoil you, and love you. . .’ --- Just like any other romance story, our female lead Jin Yinghui was cruelly kicked out of her home at the age of 18. In despair, she left for Korea and became a successful female idol through her hard work and dedication. Her breathtaking visuals and diverse talents earned her the title of the Nation’s Princess in Korea. She tried her best to wipe away all the bad memories from her past and even used a different name, Elena. Her life takes another turn when her company sends her back to her birthplace, Jin Province. In her homeland, new challenges are awaiting her. Jealousy from other celebrities and little fame in the entertainment industry of the Jin Province all stand as obstacles that prevent Elena from taking the easy path. However, one good thing does find its way to Elena in the Jin Province. She meets Lu Chenjun, the CEO of the LIQuan Company. As a playboy, he develops an interest in Elena and asks her to be his girlfriend. Elena understands that she needs a pillar to hold onto and help her build a strong foundation in the entertainment industry of the Jin Province. She consents to his proposal and Lu Chenjun becomes her first boyfriend. Will their relationship remain strong or will the challenges that appear break them apart? --- Note: This is a slow romance novel and there are some misunderstandings that all get cleared up relatively quickly.

How to Get a Wife (3)

"How about I invite him to dinner?"

Fang Shi's lips turned up into a triumphant smile, but he continued with his act.

"Yes! You're a genius, Miss Jin Yinghui! Please! Mr. Lu will definitely agree. I can pay for the dinner."

Elena shook her head, "It's okay. Lu Chenjun can pay."

Fang Shi's lips quivered and he smiled sourly to himself. Why were they already acting like a couple?

"Okay, okay. Thank you so much, Miss Jin Yinghui."

Elena sighed and hung up the phone. What did she get herself into?

--- 30 minutes later

Elena looked up at the tall building in front of her and memories from two years ago flooded back. This building hasn't changed at all. . .

Elena walked into the building confidently with her three-inch heels, ignoring all the looks she got from workers chilling in the front lobby.

The front desk worker's eyes followed Elena all the way from the door to the elevator. Elena was wearing a black, off-shoulder bodycon dress that made her figure look much better than it actually was.

The short dress and the heels made her legs look extremely long, and the tight dress showed all the right curves.

Even as the same gender, the front desk worker couldn't help but fall in love with the sight of such a beautiful woman.

Elena pressed her fingerprint onto the monitor, and the special elevator door slid open. She marched in and pressed the 52nd floor.

On the 52nd floor, Lu Chenjun was waiting patiently in the meeting room. He had called in his workers to act with him.

Although the workers didn't know why they were there, they didn't dare question Mr. Lu's order.

The meeting room was completely silent except for the sound of Lu Chenjun spinning around in his chair. All of the workers were stunned to see Lu Chenjun smiling.

They all turned to look at Fang Shi, who shrugged happily. Fang Shi had done his job, and he got his extra bonus!

The door to the meeting room suddenly opened, and a woman walked in.

"The meeting is adjourned," she said commandingly.

Everyone in the room shockingly turned their heads around to look at Lu Chenjun.

Lu Chenjun smiled faintly and stood up, "The meeting is adjourned."

With huge steps, Lu Chenjun quickly walked over to Elena and pulled her out of the meeting room and into his office.

Lu Chenjun sat down on the couch and said, "I heard Fang Shi say you are taking me out to dinner?"

Elena crossed her arms together and looked away, "Don't think too much. I'm only doing this so your workers won't have to suffer."

Lu Chenjun smiled sweetly at Elena and looked at her from head to toe. Suddenly, his smile disappeared and he furrowed his eyebrows together.

He stood up and took off his suit jacket. Lu Chenjun walked over to Elena and placed the suit jacket over her shoulders.

"What are you doing?" Elena asked with wide eyes.

"Your dress is too exposing," Lu Chenjun complained with a slightly angry voice.

Elena wriggled her shoulders and the jacket fell off, "What does it matter to you? I wear what I want."

"Wear it," Lu Chenjun's voice was demanding and a little scary.

Elena didn't back down, "No! If I wear that, I would look like I'm attending a funeral."

Lu Chenjun angrily stomped one foot on the ground, "If you don't wear it, I will be going to your funeral."

Elena frowned confusedly and wondered what Lu Chenjun's words meant.

"There are a lot of dangerous people out there, and if you go out like this, what if you get kidnapped and sold?"

Elena lifted one eyebrow, "Are you stupid?"

"Wear it."

Elena turned around and pretended to leave, "Fine, I'm not eating with you anymore."

Lu Chenjun quickly pulled her back and used this opportunity to drape the jacket back over her shoulders, "You promised me."

Elena looked down at her dress and frowned. She just bought this dress and she was looking forward to wearing it.

'Whatever, I can wear it some other time when Lu Chenjun isn't around,' Elena thought.

"Fine." Elena took the jacket off and fashionably placed it over her shoulders.

Lu Chenjun's face lightened into a smile and he held Elena's hand, leading her over to the elevator.

Elena tried to pull her hand away, "I can walk myself."

"I know."

". . ."

Lu Chenjun smiled brightly as his back was faced towards Elena.

'If she goes out like that, she will attract the attention of too many men. Only I can admire her beauty,' Lu Chenjun selfishly thought as the elevator door closed.

Elena stood as far away from Lu Chenjun as she could in the elevator. She was practically one with the wall.

"What do you want to eat," Lu Chenjun asked as he moved closer to Elena.

Elena thought for a second and licked her lips, "I'm craving hot pot."

Lu Chenjun nodded and took one more step closer to her, "I know a good hot pot place."

--- 30 minutes later

Elena sat uncomfortably in a Chinese vintage chair and she cleared her throat, "This is the good hot pot place?"

Lu Chenjun nodded as he elegantly folded a napkin, "Do you not like it? We can go somewhere else."

"Ha. . . ha, it's okay."

They sat inside a private room and all the noise from outside was blocked by the heavy door.

The interior of the restaurant was designed extravagantly, and even the chopsticks had hints of gold on them.

Elena opened up the menu and her knowledge of hot pot changed once again.

A plate of beef was 600 yuan? How could a cow be so expensive?!

Lu Chenjun stood up with a wet hand wipe and walked over to Elena.

"What do you want to eat," he asked as he gently wiped Elena's hands.

Elena looked up at Lu Chenjun's focused face and tried to take the wipe from him, "I can do it myself."

"What do you want to eat?"

Elena's gaze flickered towards the menu and she said, "You can order. I'm fine with anything, but I don't like seafood."

"Okay." Lu Chenjun finished cleaning Elena's hands and he walked back towards his seat.

He pressed a red button on the table, and within a minute, a waiter walked in.

"Hello, are you ready to order?"

Lu Chenjun nodded and opened up the menu. His finger pointed to a bunch of dishes as he said, "This, this, and this, this four-person meal, and this seafood set."

Elena's eyes widened and she quickly clarified, "I said I don't like seafood."

Lu Chenjun closed the menu and handed it to the waiter, "I know."

Elena frowned and looked away. Does he like seafood?

"What drink do you want?"

Elena looked up and said, "I'll just have iced water."

Lu Chenjun nodded and turned to the waiter, "Two cups of warm water."

Elena scrunched her face up and waited until the waiter had left before questioning Lu Chenjun.

"What is your problem?"
