A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 153

“Wow, she looks so cute. The nickname Little Fairy is very appropriate!” Leigh laughs, “I guarantee that I will find a far more beautiful woman for your brother!”

Lily asks in return, “Why don’t you find one for yourself?”

“Because I value feelings and I fell in love with Little Fairy at the first sight, I have my sights set on her!”

Lily looks at him from head to toe and laughs, “How many young women have you said this to? Sixty?”

“Hey mind your words, am I that kind of playboy?” Leigh pouts his lips; he pulls open the door to the driver seat and pushes her in, “Honey, the car is in your hands.”

Lily squints, “Don’t be so disgusting, I’m nauseous!”

Leigh is shameless, and Lily can’t debate him; she can only be a stand-in driver while he sits behind and chats with Jessie, getting into her favors and hobbies.

When the car reaches the residential area where Louis lives, Leigh is still yapping away. When he hears that Jessie likes a certain brand of clothes, he immediately says that he’ll get two from his friend.

Lily opens the door with a fake smile, “Mr. Leigh Lewis, can you be less shameless.”

“I’m chatting with Jessie, what’s so shameless about that?”

“Yeah, I find that he really can chat!” Jessie hasn’t in a relationship, and as Leigh knows how to sweet talk, she was dazed by him, “although he is rather flamboyant.”

Leigh has decided that he will blacklist this brand.

Lily came previously to take care of Louis and she still has the entry card. But she doesn’t want to cause any misunderstandings and simply carries the things while letting Leigh open the door.

The living room has a scent of heartwarming sandalwood which is very pleasant to smell. It looks like Louis isn’t at home.

Lily sees Leigh still sticking to Jessie and rolls her eyes. She changes her shoes and just as she is about to place the health supplements, she hears someone talking.

She walks to the bar counter and two servants are chatting without noticing’s Lily approach. One of them says, “Do you think that President Smith’s legs are broken?

“Of course.” The other says softly, “I heard that he can’t stand up anymore, how pitiful, he is so young and now has to spend his life in a wheelchair.”

“Isn’t it? What’s the use of earning so much money and can’t use your legs?”

“I think that the lady from the Scott Family sooner or later will cancel the engagement with President Smith. Who wants to marry a cripple?”

“…”

What the two servants said was reckless and mean. It was like a knife plunged into Lily.

If Uncle Smith had heard these, he would be very upset.

Isn’t he pitiful enough?

Lily’s heart is raging and she bangs the health supplements on the bar counter.

When they hear the sound, the two servants turn around and see lily, and have a fright.

They also watch the news and know that Lily is now the acting president of the Smith Group.

They stammer. “President Lily…”

“I don’t deserve you calling me President Lily!” Lily scoffs, “You address me as President Lily in front of me but who knows what you address me as behind my back?”

The two servants’ faces turn pale.

Lily coldly says, “You’re fired, pack up your things and leave. Don’t come again in the future!”

One of the servants begs, “President Lily, we’re wrong, please forgive us, we won’t dare to gossip in future.”

“I don’t wish to repeat myself.” Lily is merciless, “No matter how capable you are, I won’t appreciate it. I hate those who talk behind someone’s back!”

Leigh walks in and asks curiously, “How did they offend you?”

“They didn’t offend me, the offended President Smith.” Lily simply describes what happened, “Let them leave, I’ll pick a few servants for President Smith.”

“Wow, that’s terrible. How can you talk about your own boss behind his back?” Leigh says angrily but gives them a gesture with his gaze secretly.

“What are you waiting for?”

The two don’t dare to say a word and scurries to pack their things.

Lily tidies up the bar counter and looks at Leigh with disdain, “Mr. Lewis, please change this problem of yours. What’s good looking outside may be ugly inside.”

“I didn’t pick them. It was Justin!” Leigh tosses the responsibility to Justin.

Lily snorts. Obviously she’s not convinced, “I know Justin. He won’t do such stupid things.”

“You trust him with no condition!” Leigh says and then rushes over to Jessie’s side to act pity, “Little Fairy, look, Lily is bullying me, give me some justice.”

“What were you talking about?” Jessie asks. When she came in, she was enjoying the luxurious villa and eating an orange, “Wow, this orange is very sweet, it’s delicious.”

“Really? I want some.” Leigh opens his mouth.

Jessie peels two segments of orange and places it into his mouth.

Truthfully, Leigh doesn’t think that it is nice but since he is being fed by Little Fairy, he is overjoyed, “Very nice! Let’s get a few when we leave.”

Jessie asks, “We’d better not, what if President Smith gets angry?”

“It’s only a few oranges, don’t worry.”

Lily looks at them emotionlessly, not knowing whether she should blame Jessie for being foolish or Leigh for his great technique. In such a short period, he could draw the distance close.

In this case, her younger brother’s position is in danger.

“Why are you all here?”

Louis Smith hears some commotion from upstairs and comes out from the bedroom. He stands at the staircase and sees that apart from Leigh, Lily and Jessie are also there, causing a ruckus.

His eyes are more on Lily.

He doesn’t know if Lily is avoiding him. During this period of time, she has contact him and he didn’t expect her to come today.

“Louis!” Leigh laughs gleefully and greets Louis, “I went to the company to look for Lily and she said that she had work-related issues to consult you. So I brought her here as well as Jessie.”

Jessie quickly greets, “Hi President Smith.”

Louis calmly acknowledges and uses the lift on the staircase to get down.

Lily sees him getting down from upstairs. He is wearing his comfortable home attire, with a pleasant smile. A single glance of this makes her breathless. Suddenly, she doesn’t know how to face up to him and therefore, she goes to the kitchen to wash some fruits.

Leigh rolls his eyes and he understands the situation and immediately taps Jessie’s shoulder, “Little Fairy, let’s go, I’ll bring you to the garden to have a look. Let’s get some roses back to plant.”

“Really?” Actually, Jessie had already seen the garden and indeed there are numerous rare varieties of flowers, but she didn’t dare to have a closer look. Now that Leigh says that, she quickly goes with him.

In a while, only Louis is in the living room.

Louis controls the wheelchair and steers it to the kitchen and sees Lily’s back towards him.

“Why haven’t you contacted me recently?”

“There isn’t anything crucial at the company.” Lily doesn’t turn around, “I asked Mr. Lewis and it was the same. Furthermore, President Smith can rest properly if no one disturbs you.”

“I’ve never felt that you disturbed me.”

Lily feels her ears burning up. She drops the apple into the basin and quickly continues to wash it.

Louis crosses his arms and waits quietly.

After ten minutes, Lily still hasn’t turned around and he says, “Lily, aren’t you here to visit me, but why are facing me with your back? Are you going to wash the fruits till daylight?”
