A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 112

She just knew that today is Louis’s birthday, and she doesn’t have time to prepare a gift for him. Thinking that Louis loves the white fungus porridge, she takes the thermos out of her bag and hands it to him.

"Mr. Louis, I don't know today is your birthday, so I didn’t prepare a gift for you. This is white fungus porridge made by my mother. You can take it if you like it, and... Happy birthday."

Lily's slender fingers are lined with the light pink thermos bottle, which makes her hands look like white jade, and it is very pleasing to the eyes.

Louis smiles.

She's such a funny woman. The things she gives to him are always down to earth.

When she sees Louis doesn't take it, Lily is nervous. It is really inappropriate to send him the white fungus porridge. Louis could get whatever he wants.

When she is about to draw back her hands, Louis takes away the thermos bottle in her hands. He says with a light smile, "Thank you, Miss Lily. It's a nice gift. I like it."

A faint pink creeps on Lily's face. "You are welcome."

Louis asks Lily if she has time to go with him. Lily knows that the people he is going to meet are not on the same level with her, so she politely declines.

Later Louis receives a phone call and he has something else to do, so he asks the former property consultant to come over and says, "Just tell her if you make up your mind. I will go first."

Lily nods.

After Louis leaves, Lily is still looking at the apartment brochure and the sand table. Compared with the several ones she discussed with Louis before, Lily still prefers the one on the Splendor Road because of its convenient transportation.

"This one." Lily takes out her credit card and gives it to the property consultant. She wants to register with Coffey’s name, but he took his ID card with him when he left. Lily hands over her own ID card.

The property consultant quickly finishes the procedure in ten minutes.

When Lily signs and sees the payment amount, she is speechless. "Why is it only 100,000 dollars? Did you make a mistake?"

"Mr. Louis says that all the houses you chose would be 90 percent off." says the consultant, "All the buildings here are under the Smith Group, so you just need to pay 100,000 dollars."

She asks Louis to give her a discount. But what's the difference between 90 percent off and give her for free?

Lily asks, "Can I not buy it?"

"Are you not satisfied with this one? You can see some others. I'll tell Mr. Louis." The property consultant wants to call Louis, but Lily stops her.

"Well, I'll sign it." Lily quickly signs her name on several documents and hands them back.

She’s already refused it once, and it would be hypocritical if she refuses it again, so she might take it. Besides, Louis is right. She works so hard for him that she deserves something better.

The house has been decorated, so she can move in directly.

After Lily finishes everything, she drives back to the apartment. On the way back, she calls Daisy and asks her to pack up her things. Next week, she would go to help her move house with Coffey. Daisy does not refuse her.

Jessie hasn't come back yet and Lily is in the apartment alone. She has put away all the pickled cabbage she brought from Daisy. After she takes a shower, she wants to watch a movie to relax herself, but she then receives several documents from her colleagues.

Lily feels annoyed.

She is on vacation, but the result is she changes a place to work!

When Lily finishes her work and looks up, it is dark now. And it is after seven o'clock in the evening. Then her phone rings.

Lily is getting angry. She answers the phone impatiently, "Who's that?"

"Miss Lily. It's Miss Meghan." Meghan says, "Are you free now?"

“What can I do for you?

"Mr. Louis he... Something goes wrong." Meghan hesitates and says, "I come to pick up Mr. Louis from the club at 7:30 pm on time, but he wouldn't leave and he looks a bit dumb.”

A bit dumb?

It is estimated that Louis has had brandy or some other wine with high degrees. She says quickly, "Take care of Mr. Louis and don't let him drink anymore. Where are you now? I'll come over now!"

"Thank you, Miss Lily."

On the way to the club, Lily finally gets back to her senses.

She pats her forehead and says to herself, "What's wrong with me? Why should I go there? Can’t I tell Miss Meghan to handle it?"

It makes her look like she's worried about Louis.

However, when passes the tunnel, she is almost at the meeting place. Lily could not return now, so she has to go there. She stops the car at the side of the road and hurries into the club.

Lily finds a private room, and when she pushes open the door, she finds Meghan laughing with the rest of the guests while stopping Louis from drinking and grabbing his glass.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Louis can't handle it. He can't drink anymore."

As soon as Meghan speaks, the business executives are not happy. "It's not of high degrees," one of the men says, "How can it get drunk so easily? And we all know Mr. Louis is a good drinker."

"See? Mr. Louis wants to drink it. Don't stop him. It's not good to spoil the fun."

"Yes, it's Mr. Louis's birthday!"

Meghan doesn't dare to offend any of the big shots in the private room. When Lily comes in, Meghan’s eyes are shining, "Miss Lily, here you are."

"Sorry, there's a traffic jam." Lily smiles and glares at Louis in the sofa. Without the indifferent and alienated appearance look he had in the afternoon, Louis now is like a giant Samoyed.

When he sees Lily, Louis stops arguing with Meghan and gets off the sofa.

“Dear..."

As soon as he is about to speak, Lily jumps up and covers his mouth with her bag, saying to the bosses with embarrassed look, "I'm sorry, Mr. Louis is drunk."

"Today's Mr. Louis’s birthday. He specially invites everyone to celebrate his birthday, so as not to spoil everyone's fun. Miss Meghan, you stay and have a chat with them. I will send Mr. Louis back first."

Miss Meghan nods, "Thank you, Miss Lily."

After that, Lily drags Louis away. Louis is very cooperative, but he is gagged by the bag, which looks a little funny.

It is not until after leaving the club that Lily is relieved and accuses Louis, "Mr. Louis, doesn't David tell you not to drink alcohol? Why did you forget it?"

"I had only a little brandy. Don't be angry, Dear." Louis earnestly admits his mistake. Glancing over her stomach, he says in a warm voice, "Anger is not good for babies."

Lily tugs at the corners of her mouth. "Mr. Louis, the pregnancy is a sham. Haven you forgotten?"

"How can it be a sham?" Louis asks, bewildered, and adds, "Dear, are you teasing me on purpose? I swear I'll never drink brandy again, and don’t be angry with me.”

Well, Louis is in a confused state. It’s no use to say anything!

Lily stops talking nonsense with him and takes him to the car.

Louis sits there very politely, only turning his head to look at Lily from time to time. Lily can feel his hot eyes without turning her head, and she feels uncomfortable.

"Mr. Louis, will you stop looking at me?"

"You look pretty, dear." Louis is drunk and he speaks in a low, raucous tone, which sounds seductive. "It is beautiful every day and I don’t see enough of it."
