A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 291

Seeing Jessie not answering, Leigh steals a kiss on her face and smiles, “Can’t believe it? I’m serious. If you want to then I will marry you.”

He has no wish to get married and hates the tedious life after marriage, but he really likes Jessie. Her looks and personality, everything is right up to his standards and she occasionally acts all cute and clingy, making him want to spoil her with love.

He has seen all sorts of women in his life and has had many girlfriends but no one ever understood him like Jessie does. There are no worries in the world when he is with her; with her he feels comfortable and happy.

If she wants to get married then he can change some of his rules for her.

Jessie puts a stop to her train of thoughts and complains, “No! You don’t have any sincerity! What kind of proposal is this? Not grand at all. You haven’t even met my family and you want to marry me? Are you proposing or stepping out to buy meat?”

“Oh! That is easy to solve.” Leigh understands and assures her, “After this trip, I will come to visit your family and bring betrothal gifts good enough to satisfy your parents.”

“Whatever. Let’s talk about it after going back.” Jessie swats his head away, “Eat! The pizza will go cold.”

Leigh sits down beside her, still fiddling with the phone, “Then for my WeChat account I am using your name and birthday. This way every time I open it, I will be reminded to celebrate your birthday.”

“Whatever suits you.”

Jessie mutters and glances at him sideways. He is smiling as if he is very happy. The sharp profile of his face is exquisitely beautiful and breathtaking, making complex emotions swirl around in her heart.

The only one she wants to retaliate against is Derek Lewis, so she should not be too cruel to Leigh and fool him around.

In a few seconds Jessie stopped blaming herself for acting that way to him.

Leigh has been playing around so much in the past that she doesn’t even know how many women he has deceived and cheated on until now, making them cry with heartbreak. She only wants justice for those women and wants him to learn a lesson.

It’s all because he himself is stupid.

Jessie only wanted to deliver the news; she isn’t very hungry. She is already full after eating a slice of pizza. She brushes her teeth and lies on the bed. Leigh also comes over.

“Baby.” Leigh kisses her on her shoulder and asks gloomily, “Don’t you want to play that game?”

“I don’t want to.” Leigh’s eyes show his bare emotions, Jessie who has already suffered twice at his hands sniffs his intentions out and doesn’t want to get fooled again.

He rubs her cheek gently with his thumb, coaxing her, “Let’s play once. It hasn’t seen you since a long time, it misses you too, you know?”

Jessie smacks him with a pillow, “Stop trying to be smart with me or I will kill you, okay?”

“Baby.”

“…”

“Baby, I love you… don’t you love it?”

“…”

“You’re so mean.”

“Shut up! Shut up!” Jessie hammers him with the pillow, her face full of resentment and hopelessness as she gives up, “Fine! Let’s play.”

Leigh immediately gets up from the bed, “Yay! Come on.”

“I will set it up this time. “Jessie says, out of breath, as she picks up her mobile phone. “Every time you set it up, I feel like you have done something to it.”

“I have never! It’s you, baby. You are too slow in reacting.”

“…”

Jessie looks at him, her eyes full of daggers and sets up the time, placing the phone screen down on the pillow in front of her.

Both of them sit facing each other.

They play a small game of guessing numbers based on the length and frequency of the ringtone.

After the time is set up in the app, the player should quickly say the number corresponding to the sound frequency and continue if correct. If the player guesses incorrectly, an alarm sounds indicating the end of the game will rumble.

Jessie takes a deep breath and says, looking at Leigh, “If you lose, then sleep in the shower. The dirty thoughts in your mind need to be washed clean.”

Leigh solemnly answers, “Then I must win. What do I do? It misses you too much.”

“Asshole!”

A few seconds later, a series of beeps sounds from the phone; three short and two long.

Jessie immediately answers, “Thirty-one”

“Thirty-one.” Leigh follows closely.

The bell continues.

At first, Jessie is focused and can clearly hear the tone, but soon the tone changes and becomes faster in frequency, making it harder for her to follow.

“Nine.”

“Nineteen.”

An alarm sounds from the phone signaling the end of the game.

Jessie turns over the phone and looks at the answer. Seeing that the answer is ‘nineteen’ she throws the phone angrily at Leigh, “If I had known I would set up the time interval for more seconds… Ugh! A small mistake led to ruining all the chances.”

Leigh raises his eyebrows and smiles with evil intentions, “Baby, I won!”

“…”

A few hours later, only one table lamp is lit in the bedroom, its light casting dim shadows on the walls.

After hearing the steady breathing of the man next to her, Jessie opens her eyes. She is held tightly in Leigh’s arms, pressed closed to his body, she feels hot and sweaty.

Jessie carefully loosens his grip and gets out of the bed lightly. Her legs feel a little sore, which makes her regret playing that game again with Leigh.

Damn! This man must have been a wolf in his previous life, so energetic! She thinks.

She lazily puts on her dressing gown and ties it around her waist, takes her phone and goes to the bathroom, locking the door gently behind her. She quickly opens WeChat and enters the number she has been remembering all night.

The other party is still awake and soon adds her.

Jessie asks her first: [At the Milan show, was Leigh showing interest in you?]

After a few seconds the other party replies.

Jana: [You are…?]

Jessie replies: [It doesn’t matter who I am, I just want to make a deal with you. I will let you be with him in whatever way you want and give you ten million, but you have to do me a favor.]

Jana: [Such a good deal? Why? You are not Leigh playing around with me, right?]

Jessie: [You will know when you see me. Are you up for this deal?]

Jana: [Yes.]

To be the girlfriend of such a rich handsome guy and also get ten million, it isn’t a temptation that many can resist.

Jessie tells her the time and place to meet and then deleted her contact after the chat.

She feels a little disappointed in herself doing such things, but that emotion is quickly suppressed by resentment.

She touches her flat belly, sneering.

Revenge will finally be served.

The next day, Lily come out of her room early in the morning, yawning.

Her dark circles look bad. She obviously didn’t sleep well last night.

She seldom goes on cruises, as she has a long-standing fear of ships and sea. Last night she kept thinking about ship wrecks, tossing and turning around in her bed, finally falling asleep near dawn.

Louis comes over to find her and jokes about her tired appearance, “Just say that it’s hard for you to get accustomed, why do you always act everything is fine. Call me in the night, I will be over to accompany you in a second!”

Lily rolls her eyes at him, “If you come over then I won’t be able to sleep even more.”

They go to the restaurant for breakfast.

After half an hour Stella, Jessie and others also come over one after another.

Leigh walks chic and carefree, looking very contended with himself. However, the atmosphere between Stella and Daniel looks cold, as if they just quarreled.

Jessie kicks Leigh in his shins, “You will die smiling one day! Did you sleep with a coat hanger in your mouth? Why are you smiling so much?”

“What? I am just happy.” Leigh grins. Then, looking at Daniel’s gloomy expressions he adds, “Yo! What happened to you, Daniel?”

Daniel ignores him.

Leigh continues without any incentive, “Oh! Daniel. Even though you and our sister-in-law have reconciled, you still must work on that temper of yours. Looking at your face must make her angry. Learn a little from me!”

He then proceeds to undo the top two buttons of his shirt, revealing light teeth marks on around his collarbone.

He proudly says, “Look! My baby’s tooth marks! Cute, right?”

Jessie holds her head in her palm.

If someone wants to beat Leigh to death right now, she won’t even try to save him! She thinks angrily.
