Fall in Love After the Flash Marriage novel Chapter 56

The servant is going to wake the old lady up and reminds her to go back to her room for a break. Jenny stops her.

"Grandma is old and has a light sleep. If you wake her up, she can’t sleep later."

"What should I do about it? She can’t sleep out there."

After looking around the room, Jenny says, “Put the mobile radiator next to her and give me a thicker blanket. I'll wake her up after one-hour sleep."

It's not good to take a long nap.

After the servant puts up everything, Jenny tucks her with the blanket. The heating warms the surrounding place so that there is no chill at all.

After that, Jenny goes into the room and takes a sip of water.

On the other side of the small garden, Luke Lu, who just gets out of the car to pick up something, has a panoramic view of all this, and his cold face turns gentle.

When Jenny drinks water, Luke Lu suddenly returns. Before she puts down the cup, she hears a sound of footsteps behind her.

"Why you come back at this time?"

She hesitates and puts the cup on the table.

These days she has been in Flower House with Grandma. Luke Lu goes out early and returns late every day. She can’t see him during the day. So it is very strange to see him this afternoon.

Luke Lu looks at her, picks up the cup next to him and takes a sip of water.

"To get something."

"Ah..." She exclaims to stop him, but the water has rolled down his throat.

"What?" Luke Lu puts down the cup and feels confused.

Jenny waves her hands, “No, it's nothing. You are back for something, aren’t you? Can I help you? Don’t be late."

"No," Luke Lu turns and goes upstairs but suddenly stops halfway, “Are you bored at home these days?"

Hearing this, Jenny is slightly stunned and nods after a while, “A little bit. But there is no way. That's it. I don't touch the ground when I am hot. But when I am not, dread does not creep into my mind. It is good to get used to it early."

"It won't be long."

Luke Lu throws down a word and goes upstairs, leaving Jenny duping downstairs alone.

What does it mean?

In the evening, Shawn, who has been gone for a long time, suddenly calls, which makes Jenny overjoyed.

Last time, she refuses to endorse Eshmour jewelry. They must be very angry and the angriest one should be Shawn. So she hasn’t contacted with her for a long time, nor answers the phone.

She begins aggressively, “Is it fun to stay at home?"

"No, Shawn," Jenny tries to fake a smile.

"You are wrong for the last thing, you know?"

"Shawn, I am wrong about this. I am wrong."

Jenny feels sorry for living down to Shawn’s dedication, but out of responsibility for herself, she feels that she is completely right.

"That demonstrates you are not a fool." Shawn says with a sigh, “Go to Advertising Department of Eshmour Jewelry at 10 a.m. tomorrow and be ready to be nitpicked."

"Ah?" Jenny is stunned with his mouth open and does not understand what she means.

"Any question? You're lucky. Andy, the designer of Eshmour Jewelry, is interested on you. Don't you want to be fair? The designer personally gives you an interview to show you what fairness is."

"Interview?"

"Yes. The interview is for you. If you succeed in the interview, you will get the endorsement. But you should be ready to be humiliated. You asked for it. Anyway, I am not sure about this interview without any backstage. It is says that the designer named Andy isn’t a fellow to deal with. Get prepared."

What Shawn said makes Jenny feel heavy in heart.

Eshmour is very high from the top as well as its designers, who do not take young artists like her seriously. Do they seize the chance to retaliate through unexpectedly giving her the opportunity to interview?

Do they want to embarrass her because she offended them last time?

Here she thought cannot help but feel nervous.

But on second thought, is there any time for them to embarrass her, an obscure actor? So she lets it go.

The problem she faces now is that Grandma doesn’t like her going out.

In Grandma’s view, she is less than four months pregnant and should stay at home to raise the baby. She can’t go anywhere. Even walking in Flower House, she is followed by four or five servants to protect her inseparably.

Now, she is sleeping in Luke Lu’s room with two servants on shift waiting in the outer living room. As long as she moves, they would come to ask her if she needs anything, which is really very troublesome.

After answering the phone on the balcony, she sees Luke Lu coming out of the bathroom, wearing cotton white T-shirt and long black pajamas. His tall figure and strong chest are so sensual.

Seeing Jenny's wet hair is dripping water, he immediately frowns, “Come here."

"Ah?" Jenny returns to her senses, stunned, and looks at Luke Lu.

Seeing that she is confused, Luke Lu reluctantly withdraws his eyes, takes the hair dryer from the makeup cabinet and walks around the big bed to sit down on the sofa closest to Jenny. He plugs in and pats the sit next to him, “Come and sit down."

Jenny walks over hesitantly and asks blankly, "What are you doing?"

"Dry hair for you," Luke Lu pulls her, directly presses her on the sofa, clasps the dark bright long hair on her shoulders and begins to tidy up.

The warm wind blows in her ear without any noise. The hairdryer is far better than the one Jenny used before.

The point is that this manual service is really easy.

"You go out to answer the phone without drying hair. If you caught cold, grandma would blame me. Do you gloat, don't you?"

The voice of Luke Lu comes through the wind, as if there is a layer of hazy fog, disturbing her mind.

Jenny scratches his nose, pulls out a trace of random hair, and says, "The hair is too long to take care of it."

In fact, she used to have short hair, but later she has long hair for the convenience of acting.

Short hair is easy to take care of. It would dry after a quick blow in winter. In summer, there is no need to blow at all, just wiping it with a towel.

"Long hair for acting?"

Luke Lu is right in his words.

She is stunned and nods, “Well, when I contacted with Shawn abroad, she said I'd better have long hair first, so that it would be more convenient for me to do both custom and modern dramas."

It will be ugly to directly put the wig over my head. Shawn's consideration is not unreasonable.

"Do you still want to do the variety show of the company?"

Luke Lu suddenly mentions variety for no reason.

Jenny turns her head, looks at him and hesitates to say, “Can I?"

After all, grandma won’t allow her to go out.

"If you want, I'll tell grandma."
