Fall in Love After the Flash Marriage novel Chapter 159

As Jenny sleeps soundly at night in an unfamiliar city, Sky flies back to Xicheng with a heavy heart.

She is sure that Luke will let bygones be bygones if he ever finds out that Jenny was the girl that rescued him many years ago. It doesn’t matter how much effort she put into tarnishing Jenny’s name, she will be fighting a losing battle the moment he knows about it.

Sky understands Luke more than anyone, she knows what type of person he is. Luke doesn’t fully trust Jenny yet, but Sky will not stand a chance if he finds out that he owes Jenny his life.

One careless move and she will lose the whole game.

She cannot let Luke know about this, even if he finds out, she has to ensure that the person he finds out about is not Jenny.

…

Jenny isn’t able to meet up with Luke when she goes back in Xicheng the next day. Their promise to have a meal together at the Flower House is also called off. She receives two calls from the grandmother during the time, grandmother sounds rather disappointed when Jenny tells her that she is busy. Jenny feels a bit bad about it.

Jessica is still recording the show on Fridays at 8:30 pm. The organizers of the show know about the beef between Jenny and Jessica, they arrange different timeslots for them for the shooting. It is a relieve for Jenny to know that she will not be in the same frame as Jessica. Jessica also manages to find somebody to delete the video of her pushing Jenny off the stairs, the clip isn’t shown on air.

Though, there are many new topics about Jenny as she is trending for quite some time. She will often get tons of new followers on Weibo after the show is aired. Cecelia is the one managing her Weibo and she tells Jenny every day how many hundred thousand of new followers her Weibo is getting every day.

Michael invites Jenny for dinner after the shooting of the reality show.

There are rumours about them because of the incident at the natatorium, but Michael is nice enough to explain in Weibo about their relationship, claiming that they are only good friends. His fans are still unhappy about it, but Jenny manages to shut them down. They also calm down a lot after Michael tells them that he doesn’t want his fans to fight with other people.

But Jenny is suspicious of his sudden kindness. She thinks that her manager Shawn is the reason behind this.

It is more obvious now as they are having dinner together.

“Eat some of this, it can improve your glow and keep your skin beautiful.”

“I don’t really like this…”

“Have some of this then, it's not fattening and it tastes really good.”

“Michael, don’t mind me and just feel free to eat.”

Shawn grimaces and has a disdainful look on her face as Michael keeps on pestering her.

Jenny suddenly receives an invitation to an interview when they are eating. Shawn quickly pulls her to one side and helps her freshen up her look. Jenny glances with the side of her eyes and looks at Michael, he looks so reluctant to be part with Shawn. She can’t help but tease Shawn.

“Shawn, I think that Michael is a nice guy. Why not think about it?”

She feels a sudden pain on her head, “Ouch…”

Shawn glares at her, “Mind your own business. Don’t think that I don’t know what you are up to. You will be in big trouble if you were to be photographed by the paparazzi again.”

Jenny sticks out her tongue at Shawn, she stays silent for a bit but can’t help herself and teases Shawn again, “I think Michael is for real this time. See, he never had scandals even after being in the showbiz for so many years. I think this is the beginning of a budding romance…”

Michael is already famous when Jenny just made her debut. He is probably around 27 years old this year and he maintains his skin very well, with his looks he can probably pass for a 24 years old person. Even though Shawn is a workaholic who works and rests very irregularly, she exercises a lot and also looks sprite and young.

Though a woman is normally mentally more mature than a man. When comparing their mental age, Shawn who is more rational and mature is probably at least 3 years older than Michael in mental age. Her expression right now is plain scornful as she looks at Michael, “Yeah right, budding romance at the age of 27. You’re saying that his feelings of love for the past years are all eaten up by dogs?”

Jenny can’t help but laugh, she even spits out the water in her mouth.

Shawn is a bold person, Michael is going to have a hard time courting her.

Jenny turns her head and raises her brows as she meets eyes with Michael, she feels a bit pleased.

Michael frowns and glares at her.

As usual, he doesn’t really like her. Yes, he is now going after Shawn and he is treating Jenny nicer to give Shawn some face, but it doesn’t mean that he forgives her.

The interview is mainly about the variety show of recent. Jenny’s schedule is packed lately, the reporter can only arrange the interview in a private room at the restaurant very temporarily.

The lights and cameras are all set up, Jenny sits at the opposite of the reporter in the rather large private room.

“Don’t worry Jenny, today’s interview wouldn’t be too much about the gossips.”

The reporter is a gentle and nice woman, even the way she talks, and moves are soothing.

Jenny smiles and thanks her.

“The number of fans is growing very quickly for you as of late. How do you feel about it, are you elated?”

“Of course, I’m happy that I’m gaining popularity, but this is probably a common thing among us artists. The hype comes fast but it goes away pretty fast too. If I don’t have any new works to convince them the stay in the future, they will just leave me after the hype is over. I couldn’t do much about it, it's like how tides have highs and lows all the time.”

“You seem rather close to Michael in the show Fridays at 8:30 pm, did you guys already know each other beforehand?”

“Michael is a nice person even in private, he takes care of his juniors a lot. Though, we didn’t know each other before shooting the show together.”

“What about comments on the internet, do you often read them? Do you mind them as much?”

“Nobody wouldn’t mind comments about them on the internet, right?” Jenny lowers her head and smiles, she then brushes her bangs that fall on her forehead. “Artists are just normal people as well, we do mind how others see us. But I believe that time will prove my worth, I just need to work hard and not think about unnecessary things too much.”

“I’m sorry but I have to ask you about that incident once more.” The reporter sounds hesitant.

Jenny falters a bit, she frowns and says, “It’s fine, go ahead.”

“After that incident, do you feel like you trust the people around you less? Did it make you lose confidence in what you believe in life?”

Jenny freezes up, she will be lying if she says that she is not more suspicious of everybody than before. It is a huge unforeseen event, her career might be already ruined if wasn’t for Luke giving her a helping hand.

"I am very thankful towards my boss, and my friends who were there for me even when things went south. Time will show you the true nature of a person, and the same goes when bad things happen to you. Sometimes you will only realize who treats you sincerely after something bad had happened.”

She has a lot to say, but there is no need to say too much since the interview is very brief. She might have just laugh and brushed off the reporter’s question, but she wants to show her gratitude towards Luke.

Jenny follows Shawn and Cecelia to the entrance after the interview. Suddenly, Michael pops out of nowhere and follows them into the car.

“My driver left because he had some personal business, can you guys give me a ride?”

Shawn frowns as the reporters are still there, she glares harshly at the reporters with the side of her eyes and says with a deep tone of voice, “Michael Song, get off the van…”

“What’s wrong with giving me a ride? I treated you guys a meal just now!”
