A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure

Chapter 215: Say Yes and Mean No

The long and passionate kiss makes Lily dizzy. She starts to enjoy it at some point, but soon, she

pushes Louis away as she starts to feel suffocated.

When Louis lets go of her, Lily immediately backs off from him and lays her back against the racks. Lily

angrily says, “Mr. Smith, aren’t you afraid that I’ll sue you for sexual harassing me?”

Louis loosens his tie. He then squints his eyes with a bantered smile on his face, “Sure! You could also

mention that night we had sex at that night club six months ago. We should tell them everything.”

“You are shameless!” Everything Louis did today causes Lily to wonder she hasn't understood Louis Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

well, “You told me that you'll erase everything after I attend that business meeting in Turkey for you!”

“You’re right. But that business meeting didn’t go well,” Louis takes advantage from her words. He

reaches out his long arms and puts it beside her head, “Plus, I helped you out after that.”

Lily is so pissed that she couldn’t say a word.

Did Louis mistakenly taken any drugs? He doesn’t sound like himself at all.

“Lily, it’s my fault to use you in that accident,” Louis sounds serious suddenly, “But I never think of you

as a pawn. You are someone I can trust my life with.”

Louis has been drifting in the business industry for so long. He knows so many iron ladies, celebrities,

lawyers and socialites but Chloe is the only person he trusts during all these years.

Now, Lily is the second person he trusts.

Initially, when Louis sought for Lily’s help, he thought of using her to achieve his agenda or pushing her

up to that shiny stage.

Louis’ words trigger the pain in Lily’s heart.

If it wasn’t for Louis, Lily won’t be standing where she is today. She should thank him, but when she

thinks about Jason’s death, she just couldn’t let go.

It’s the death of a living person. It is not going to be like deleting data that you could restore it later.

“Mr. Smith. It’s all in the past now. Nothing is worth bringing up again.” Lily walks past Louis and leave

the scene. Her calm tone makes Louis feel uneasy.

Louis punches the rack out of fretfulness.

It is obvious that something is not right later when they appear together. Lily purposely stays away from

Louis and insists to pay her own bill.

David is confused.

His plan is perfect. Letting Lily and Louis spending some time together should improve their

relationship. But why do they get even more awkward after coming out of the supermarket?

When they are back to David’s house, Lily takes the food they bought into the kitchen.

David then approaches Louis and asks softly, “Mr. Smith, what happened? Miss Lily seems more

frustrated than when she first saw you.”

“Go away.”

“…”

Alright. Louis is in a bad mood too.

The Ragdoll kitten is clingy. It keeps rubbing her head against Lily’s feet and follows her wherever she

goes. Lily is worried that she might step on her, so she chases the kitten out of the kitchen and closes

the kitchen door.

The Ragdoll kitten then runs towards Louis’ direction. Before it could rub its face on Louis trousers,

Louis raises his legs with an unexplainable expression on his face.

Louis emotionlessly calls for David’s help, “Move your cat away.”

“Mr. Smith, It is just a few-weeks-old kitten. What are you afraid of?” David comes and carries the kitten

away, “Miss Lily likes it very much, and she plans to take it back with her.”

“You are giving this long-hair monster to her?”

David corrects him with a straight face, “Mr. Smith. It is a Ragdoll cat. Pure breed and it is very

expressive.”

Louis is speechless.

No wonder Lily smelt like milk when he kissed her just now. It must be from this little monster.

“Mr. Smith, go now.”

Louis looks at him in curiosity, “Where to?”

David rolls his eyes, points at the direction of the kitchen with his chin and lowers his voice, “If you don’t

know to cook, act as you know and help Miss Lily out in the kitchen. Find an opportunity and talk to

her.”

“I have a few emails to reply.”

“I’m really speechless.” David doesn’t know what to say about his own boss. Yes, he might not have

any experience in a relationship, but why does he have the feeling that his boss is even dumber than

him in such matter? “Does emails give you a wife?”

Louis frowns, “You’re overthinking. I don’t like Lily.”

David secretly insults Louis in his heart. He finally understands the meaning of the saying- ‘lookers-on

see most of the game’.

David continues, “Alright, alright. But you are going to need to help her out anyway. You can’t make her

do everything for us, right? I would have helped her out already if my hands aren't injured.”

Louis stares at the kitten in David’s arms, “Stay away from me and let me through.”

“…”

Louis smells the cooked food and the seafood as he pulls open the kitchen door. The steams are

raising from the steamer, and it seems like there is seafood in there. Lily is working on the food with her

back facing the door.

The way she cuts the food seems like she is well-trained. A potato gets shredded into thin pieces in no

time. While she chops the green peppers, she is also heating the wok at the same time. No time

wasted in between her food preparation.

Louis looks at his ow hands and realizes he couldn’t be much of a help to her. He offers his helping

hand anyway.

“Do you need help?”

Lily takes a look at him quickly then concentrates on the wok. She then gives him a cold-shoulder,

“What could you do? You can’t even wash the vegetables properly. It might even stain your suit. Might

as well I do it myself.”

Lily is probably the only person who dares to give Louis a cold-shoulder more than once.

“I’ll wash the vegetables then,” Louis rolls his sleeves up, and his toned arms are showed. He

approaches Lily, “Which of these do I need to wash?”

Lily twitches her lips when Louis insists on helping her. She purposely comes out with a difficult task for

him. She points at the table top, “Devein the prawns and wash those pea shoots.”

Some hair drops on Lily’s face and reminds her that she hasn’t tied her hair up. But her hands aren’t

clean right now so it’s inappropriate to touch her hair, “I have a hair tie in my pocket, take it out and

help me to tie my hair.”

“This pocket?” Louis tries to find the hair tie in the right pocket of her pants.

Both of them draws really close to each other as Louis is finding Lily’s hair tie. Lily tries her best to stay

as far as possible from Louis, “Forget it. Leave it if you couldn’t find it.”

As she ends her sentence, Louis finally finds the hair tie. He stands behind her and ties her hair up

carefully with the hair tie.

Lily coughs lightly and says in an awkward tone, “I’m almost done here. Go and wash the pea shoots. ”

“Alright.”

Louis has never been in the kitchen before, but he is smart. After Lily told him how to devein the

prawns, he learns and quickly cleans all the prawns Lily needs.

One person is cooking and cutting the food in the kitchen, while the other one is cleaning the

vegetables. The picture seems harmonious and peaceful.

Seven dishes, including a soup, are served after half an hour. Other than that, Lily also steamed a few

lake crabs for lunch.

David almost drools looking at the dishes, “Miss Lily, you’re so good at cooking. Your future husband

must be so lucky!”

Louis glances at David.

David secretly complains in his heart, “Didn’t Louis say he doesn’t like Miss Lily in that way? Now, who

got jealous just because I praised Miss Lily’s cooking skill?”

When they are enjoying their food, the Ragdoll kitten comes and rubs its face against Lily’s feet again.

Lily carries it onto her lap and lets it play with her clothes. She is spoiling it. Louis twitches his lips when

he sees how Lily treats the kitten.

Louis couldn’t understand why is this long-hair creature considered cute.

Halfway through the meal, Lily receives a call from Kent saying that he would like her to take charge in

a collaboration project. However, Lily isn’t familiar with the industry of the collaborating company is in,

which is why she doesn’t understand many of the jargons that Kent says.
