A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 101

Jessie quickly asks Louis in and shows him where Lily's bedroom is.

Louis carries Lily into the bedroom. When he is about to put her on the bed, he suddenly feels his arms are sticky. When he sees what it is, his face gets gloomy. He turns around and carries her to the bathroom.

Jessie follows him, "What's up, Mr. Louis?"

"She's having her period." Louis puts her in the bathtub and raises his arms. He frowns at his white shirt which is dyed red.

He washes it and says to Jessie, "Take care of her. I have to go now."

"Oh, thank you, Mr. Louis."

Louis goes outside and closes the door. The sleeves of his shirts are wet and sticky, with a faint red tint on them.

He rolls up his sleeves and his firm arms are exposed.

When he takes the elevator down, Louis reminds of the chic way Lily played mahjong in Mier Chateau. He can't help smiling when she dared to make big debt with Mr. Gill.

She is good at playing mahjong, and has the gut to accept challenge.

Miss Lily, there is some position you have to take even if you don't want to.

After Meghan sends Louis back, she drives back to Water Bay. Her apartment building is a green belt across Lily’s. She makes her way to the 26th floor and walks into the house.

The two-storage apartment is well lighted - both sides of the house are decorated with French Windows. Meghan sees a man standing in front of the French window making a phone call when she comes in.

The man's back is slim and straight, leaning against the window. He doesn’t turn on the light, and he seems to be mixed into the darkness.

She takes off her shoes and walks over lightly, slipping her arms around the man from behind. Her delicate fingers unbutton his fine shirt, and stroke his powerful muscles.

As soon as her fingers touch the muscles, she is pinched at the wrist. The force is not hard, but she could not move. The man does not turn his head, but is still talking on the phone calmly.

"Well, that’s the price. Keep an eye on it..."

After he finishes the phone, John turns around and yanks the woman's hand out of his shirt. The light turns on and shines on his face, making him look pretty.

John asks, "How’s the thing going?"

"You ask about work every time I come. Can't you care about me?" Meghan forgets her elitist image and pouts her mouth, complaining like a little girl.

She leans on John and even tiptoes to kiss him. The perfume on her body fills the air, but John smiles and turns his head away to avoid her kiss.

Meghan shakes off his hand in anger and goes to the fridge for water.

"Grumpy again, ah?" John follows her, running his fingers through her hair, and says, “I'll give you a holiday when it's over."

"I don't want a holiday. I want you to be good to me!" Meghan stares at him angrily and says, "I am your fiancée, but why don’t you take me out? Do you hate me, Colbert?"

John smiles softly and kisses her cheek. "How could I hate you? I always respect you just because you are my fiancée, and we have so many things to do in Britain. I'm afraid you will be too busy."

"Really?

John's eyes are warm. "Don't you trust me?" he asks.

"Of course I do." Meghan seems to be in a good mood. She kisses him on the cheek and leaves a faint lip print. Then she tells him about the situation of the Smith Group these days.

Meghan does not conceal anything. She tells John everything from picking up Louis and Lily at the airport and Lily being taken away by the police for investigation, and then Louis vouched for her, to Lily being sent home after drinking too much at Mier Chateau tonight.

"I've always wonder if there's something going on between Louis and Lily. Apart from Chloe, I've never seen anyone be that cheeky with Louis. When Lily was in period and asked Louis to warm up for her, Louis did what she said and his tone softened. Isn't that strange?"

As she speaks, she turns to pour water, so she does not see that when she talks about Louis and Lily's relationship, John looks angry.

"Oh, right." Meghan looks at John and is curious, "I heard that you dated Lily before. What's your impression of her?"

"We only dated for a short time. I don’t remember that." John smiles. "Her background doesn't qualify to be a maid at Krislier Manor. How could I like her?"

"Really?” Meghan gives him a cool look and continues, "But I think she's very clever. Why a guy like Louis is so approachable to her? Maybe he needs her help."

"Vice President Carmen of the Smith Group has much power. He says he has the final say on everything, but Louis doesn't make any moves. He just says that Vice President Carmen is the senior staff of the Smith Group, and he seems to want to indulge Mr. Carmen. In this case, I don't understand his purpose of wooing Lily.

John immediately rejects her idea, "I know Louis. He's not a sentimental man, but Lily is smart, so he wants to woo her for his good. He does not say anything about Carmen’s behaviors, but let Carmen think Louis can’t do anything to him, so Carmen would continue to be unbridled.”

"So, Louis has everything in his mind and made his plans?" Meghan gets what he means, "He wants to clean the Smith Group from top to bottom."

"The Smith Group, after all, belongs to the Smith family. He wouldn't have allowed others to be so unbridled." John laughs, "We just strike them when the Smith Group is most vulnerable."

John is in a situation to similar Louis. He is always compelled by his family, and he guards everyone around him, so he understands Louis' thoughts better than anyone else.

"To deal with the Smith Group. That's what you sent me here for." Meghan smiles and leans into his arms. "And what will you do with me when it's all over?"

"Don't you want to travel?"

Meghan protests, "What's the good of going on a trip without your company?"

She tugs at his collar, forcing him to bend his head, so close that they almost kiss. "Why don't we go back and get married when this is over?"

John shakes his head with a smile and touches her hair gently. "I won't get married until my eldest brother does."

"There are orders in getting married. What a hassle!"

"Because he is my brother, and I must respect him." John strokes her cheek. "You can also introduce your friend to my brother if you have a suitable girlfriend for him. When he's married, we can get married."

The man's fingers are cold, and Meghan trembles uncontrollably at his words.

She thinks she hides her emotions well, but John sees it all.

Meghan mutters, "I have a lot of friends, but few are excellent enough to be with him. What if your brother is very picky? Well, let’s talk about it later."

"Well, it's important to deal with the Smith Group first." John smiles, "It's getting late. Go to bed."

"I'll go back to my room. Have a rest."

John's smile dims as he hears the door closed, and the lipstick mark on his cheek disgusts him. He wipes it off with a tissue.

He sneers, "Do you deserve to marry me?"

All the while, there is only one person he wants to marry, and only that person could marry him. No one else deserves it.
