A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 186

Seeing that John regards rabbit candy as a precious treasure, Lily is a little disgusted, "It's just a candy. If you like it, I'll buy a bag of them for you when I find a shop to sell it."

"One is enough," John says.

The anger in his heart during this period of time is dissipated because of the candy, and he is extremely satisfied.

Is that okay?

'Of course. I can say it 10,000 times, 100,000 times, or thousands of times.'

Lily doesn't think too much. She really thinks that he wants to taste the candy. After sitting in the drinks shop for a while, they continue to stroll around.

The sky gradually darkens and there are more and more people.

For some unknown reason, not a single person looks at Lily along the way. On the contrary, many young girls pounce on John and ask for permission.

Lily is annoyed. She enters into the nearest accessory shop and buys a mask for John.

"Don't you say that a woman with green roses is beautiful. Why are there not many men looking at me along the way? There are quite a few girls pouncing on you!"

John looks at the green rose in her hand and smiles.

"What the hell are you laughing at!" Lily rolls her eyes at him and says, "I think you seriously weaken my glamour. Don't pull the mask off, okay?"

"Yes."

By seven o'clock in the evening, the sky has completely darkened. It is full of lights and noise.

Lily buys two tickets for the sightseeing boat and goes to the ferry with John.

Lily looks at the many people in front of her and says to John, "The time has come for you to play your role. You can go to the third floor after boarding, okay? Find a table by the window!"

This kind of sightseeing boat doesn't have VIP seats, and people who go in first can get the best seats.

John nods.

As soon as the gate opens, everyone rushes to the sightseeing boat. Lily finds her hand being pulled by John, as if he is afraid that she will get lost. She doesn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You go up and find two seats, don't hold me."

She shakes off his hand forcefully and urges John, "Hurry up!"

John turns to look at her and soon disappears.

After Lily squeezes into the sightseeing boat and goes up to the third floor out of breath, she immediately finds John near the window, so she hurriedly runs over.

"Look, I'm right to let you occupy the seat!" In their position, the scenery on the river side unfolds clearly before their eyes. The cool breeze brushes across their cheeks, bringing a cool and comfortable feeling. "Do you like it?"

Very quickly, she realizes that she treats John as an ordinary person and says awkwardly, "I forget that you are... You definitely won't be accustomed to the crowd."

"I am having a good time." John pulls down his mask with a smile. "I really like this kind of crowd."

Feeling the crowd of the subway and the sightseeing boat with her is happiness for him.

The place she is in, no matter how crowded, he likes it very much.

"It's good that you like it. My mission is to make you happy during this seven-day vacation," said Lily.

In an instant, John becomes sad. He smiles forcefully and says, "It's hard for you, but this is only the first day. There are still six days left. I'll have to trouble you more."

"I'll go to buy some drinks." The atmosphere is a little awkward. Lily grabs her wallet and hurriedly leaves.

Just as she leaves, the phone rings.

John glances at the call. The word "President Smith" makes him very uncomfortable. He grabs Lily's phone.

He answers the call.

"Lily, where are you? Check the mailbox."

"She went to buy me drinks." John says, "President Smith, isn't my girlfriend on vacation? You should not be looking for her. If you need help, please look for the secretary department."

Louis, who is on the other end of the phone, is silent for a moment before asking, "Are you two together?"

Coincidentally, Lily shouts to John, "John, do you want some watermelon juice?"

"Yes," John replies. He knows that Louis has heard everything. This is also what he wants. "President Smith, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up. Time is precious."

Louis becomes cold. He says in a low voice, "John, don't mess with her."

"President Smith, you are not qualified to say this to me." John sneers, "Do you think your plans are flawless? Maybe someone knows your tricks."

"I have lied to her, but I haven't hurt her, yet you drag her into the internal conflict of the Smith family!" His voice turns cold, "If I had known this earlier, I would have crippled your legs!"

"What did you give her? Draw a circle and let her stay inside obediently?" Louis says, "She is smart and learns fast. You can't hide anything from her."

"I like to protect her so that she can be carefree and not think about anything." John looks at Lily, who is buying drinks, and his eyes are full of connivance. "Louis, I won't give the woman I have nurtured to you."

After a pause, John continues, "You probably already know that Richard has sold me all his stock of the Smith Group. He said that you broke one of his son's hands and he wanted to the Smith Group to pay for it."

"Ellison disappeared on the way to Paris."

"I asked someone to do it." John admits generously and says in a gentle voice, "Because he has hurt my woman, I will make him crippled for the rest of his life."

Louis calmly asks, "Are you declaring war on me?"

John smiles and says, "The war has already begun. As long as I am want, I can make the Smith Group go bankrupt."

"Oh? Then I'm looking forward to it." Louis is not afraid, "But before that, you should still take care of your own private matters, such as ... your brother."

John's tone changes, "I will solve my problem!?"

Louis sneers, "You have exposed your weakness. You will solve it? How ridiculous! Lily is from the Smith Group. If she is injured at your place, you won't be able to leave the country."

With that, he cuts off the call.

John becomes upset. He sees Lily return with a cup of drink and quickly unlock her phone. He deletes the call record from Louis and puts the phone back.

"Here." Lily pushes the watermelon juice to John. Sensing something in his expression, she says, "I might have gone too far just now. I'm sorry."

John shakes his head and smiles, "I’m not taking it serious."

Lily wants to look at her phone, but John says that the scenery on the river is too beautiful. Spending time on the phone would be a waste. She thinks of her purpose of accompanying John, so she puts her phone aside.

As long as he's happy.

They enjoy the cool breeze and the scenery at night.

Afterwards, John teases her about the past, "I still remember the first time I met you. You pushed a very big suitcase. You were looking left and right. It seemed like you couldn't figure out the direction."

"There are very few Chinese in University of Newcastle. I was surprised to see you with black hair and black eyes. I didn't expect you to be so good at French."

"At that time, I thought you were the receptionist sent by the school." His words evoke Lily's deep recollection, "I didn't expect that you were also a student. It was really a misunderstanding."

She thought that John was the receptionist, so she asked him to take her to the girls' dormitory. When she arrived, she remembered the habit of tipping and just handed him three dollars.

The person passing by looked at John and respectfully called him, "Mr. Colbert."
