A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 49

When Lily comes back with the food, Jessie happens to come back from work.

Jessie has previously lived in Dung Flat. She has signed a three-year contract, but she is cheated. The landlord is a criminal, specializing in reselling business. When Lily sees that there are empty rooms in her apartment, she asks Jessie to live in her apartment and charges half of the rent.

"You're so good Lily. You still bring food to me when you go home!" Jessie hugs Lily and kisses her, excitedly, "I have passed an experiment today. Let’s go out and celebrate!"

"Is it different to celebrate at home?" Lily wonders, "Why do we have to go outside?"

Jessie is dissatisfied and says, "I want to go out for a stroll. I have been in Yorkshire for so long. Even on weekends, I have been working on design drawings, and I haven't been out to have fun."

Lily thinks she is right.

In the last two weekends, the planning department was very busy. She had a rest, and Jessie worked overtime in the company.

"Okay, I'll take you around later."

Jessie is afraid that the food would not taste good tomorrow, so she eats it now and praises, "Wow, Lily, your mother must be a good cook. It’s so delicious."

"My mother used to be a cook," Lily says. "She has to raise three children herself. Sometimes she is too busy to come back to cook for us, so I cook at home, and sometimes my brother will cook."

As for Joey, she is very coquettish and does not learn anything.

"Huh, do you still have a younger brother?" Jessie raises her glasses and asks curiously, "Still studying in school?"

"Well, he’s in a closed school. I only see him once in a few months." Lily nods. "His school has special system. They don't have the college entrance examination. They all recruit students by themselves."

"Then your brother must be a very good student." Then, Jessie holds the bowl and says, "I remember that when I came back to take things in the morning, I just saw Chloe going out, and there is a boy next to her, who is very tall and handsome. Do you think she is cheating on Mr. Louis?"

"It’ shouldn’t be that. The boy is either her friend or her bodyguard." In Chloe's eyes, there is only Louis and no other men.

What's more, it's impossible to have another man in front of Louis.

"He is really handsome, just like Leonardo DiCaprio." Jessie bites her chopsticks, looks eagerly, "It would be nice if I could find such a tall boyfriend."

After that, she sighs, "But I am so busy doing this kind of work. I don't even have time to play, how could I have time to find a boyfriend? Life is boring!"

Lily purses her lips and smiles, "It's okay, I'll take you out to see handsome guys in a moment."

"Lily, I love you so much!"

Lily opens her notebook to deal with her job for a while. Louis sends several documents to her mailbox. She suspects that whether she has understood what he said that day.

Hasn’t she paid what she owes him? Why does she have to help him with the documents?

Doesn’t the secretary department work?

"Lily, let’s go!" Jessie has taken a bath and dresses up. She urges Lily to go out.

Lily looks back and laughs.

Jessie looks so young. No matter how sexy she dresses up, she looks like a student. She wears her hair in a bun, and she is thin and petite, which makes her cute.

Jessie looks at herself and asks, "What's wrong, did I wear the wrong the wrong clothes?"

"No, you are too cute." Lily smirks, "A lot of places will definitely not let you in."

"I know I am short. Just don’t make fun of me."

"Okay, I won't say it." Lily goes back to the bedroom to change a long dress, and then take the bag and goes out with Jessie.

It’s noisiest at ten in the evening. The neon lights are shining, and it’s very lively in the streets.

Lily is afraid that Jessie wouldn't be able to enter the bar, so she takes her to a quite pubic house, but Jessie is not happy with that. She searches for some interesting places and pulls Lily into the car.

After strolling around, they reach the Sky Fun Palace.

"How about we don’t go in?" Seeing the name of this clubhouse, Lily thinks of the day when she was drunk. It was the biggest mistake in her life, and she is a little against the clubhouse

"There are many people here. It’s so lively!" Jessie is very excited, "I have checked that this is the funnies place in Yorkshire. There are many handsome guys here. I haven't been this place before. Let's go!"

Jessie loves to play in exciting places, and since she hasn’t been here, so she pulls Lily into the clubhouse. The two bodyguards just glance at Jessie and do not stop her.

The lights inside are dim, and people walk like drunken ghosts.

A waiter seems to see that Jessie is a new comer. He asks her what she wants to play. Lily feels scared when she sees so many people here. She stops the waiter and asks, "Is there a private room?"

"Sorry, the private rooms have been booked, or would you like the private seats in the hall?" The waiter notifies Lily the position of the seats. It’s facing the stage, there are few many people around.

Lily thinks it is fine, so she takes Jessie to sit there and orders some drinks.

"Oh, big bars are different." Jessie's eyes light up when she looks at the young and handsome guys performing on stage. "There are indeed a lot of handsome guys in this place. Lily, do you think so?"

"Yes." Lily responds vaguely, glancing at the young men on the stage, and then takes back her eyes. Strangle, she recalls Louis when he appeared with the bath towel around his waist.

He’s really a beautiful man. Although he looks lean, he has a good shape. His muscles are strong, and his V-line abs on the waist side are so attractive that it makes people want to peep what it is under the towel.

"Puff!" Lily thinks too much, and she is choked by the wine that has not been swallowed. Her cheeks are hot.

What is she thinking about!

"Are you all right. How could you choke by the wine?" When Jessie sees Lily's cheeks are red, she thinks Lily is shy by the young men on the stage, "It turns out that the young and handsome men on the stage have moved your heart."

"No, don't talk nonsense." Lily covers her embarrassment by drinking.

"Beauty, are there only you?"

"Shall we play together?"

Several men and women gather together with dice and other small playing tools in their hands. Jessie likes to have fun, so she greets everyone to sit down, and there are few more people in the seats now.

Lily stays vigilant at first and sits beside watching them. After she starts to play, she is out of control and plays with them.

Among the lively crowd, there is a pair of eyes fixed on Lily.

The man in black sees that Lily has a lot of fun, and drinks fiercely, then he goes out quietly and dials a call.

In the Smith family.

When Louis finishes his job, it’s already ten o'clock at night when he returns to the house. He looks exhausted.

When he enters the house, he finds that the old man is still watching the news in the living room.

"Dad, it's late. Why haven't you slept yet?" Louis walks towards the living room, and frowns, "The doctor says you are not in good health and you have to sleep before eleven o'clock at night."

He also asks the servants to take the old man to bed.

"I know my health condition. Don't nag like a doctor." The old man snorts, obviously not very happy, "You have been busy in the company, and you seldom come back at home. If I don’t wait for you, I don’t know when can I talk to you!"

"Well, it’s my fault for not coming home because of my work." Louis sits down on the sofa beside him and says helplessly, "When I finish my work, I will accompany you at home, okay?"
