A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure

Chapter 343: Don’t Sneak Around Anymore

On the Christmas Eve that they celebrated in Japan, Lily and Louis had been hanging out in the street

when they had come across an accessory store. At that time, she had seen a scarf around the neck of

a mannequin in the window of the store. She had pulled Louis inside and bought it for him as a

Christmas present.

And now, she is seeing exactly the same gray scarf in the room where John lives!

Is this a coincidence?

Coincidentally, John also comes in at this moment.

Seeing the scarf in Lily’s hand, John’s eyes flashes with embarrassment. His tone is a bit unnatural as

he says, “I tried to find it for so long without success. I didn’t expect you to find it this quickly.”

“Yeah, it was hung in the coat.” He had hidden it so badly that anyone could find it easily. Lily’s chest

feels stuffy and sore. She smiles forcefully, “You are so careless.”

Lily says as she steps forward and unfolds the scarf. John bends forward a little and she wraps the

scarf around his neck.

The down jacket worn by him is still unzipped, revealing a dark blue low-neck sweater. When he bends

forward, his collar-bone and the little red bean necklace is faintly visible.

Lily lowers her head and bites her lip, not letting her emotions be shown.

From dating to breaking up, she has returned or thrown away all the things that he gave her. But he still

wears the only thing she gave him, the red bean necklace, like it is something precious.

He is such an idiot!

How humble! He looks so possessive and powerful, yet he never intimidated her, or said that he

wanted something. He just secretly went and bought a same scarf.

Lily hits her head on his chest and says sullenly, “John, I hate you so much.”

‘I hate that you are so giving, hate that you don’t say anything.

Hate it even more that you still like me.’ She says inwardly.

Although the two has been living in the same suite for so long, they have been living in separate

bedrooms and have not done anything intimate. This is the first time that Lily is in his embrace.

He is so close to her, and John can smell her alluring faint scent that reminds him of wind chimes.

John reaches out and hugs her, pressing her delicate body into his embrace and sniffs the scent of her

hair, “Don’t hate me. You said that you owe me a lot of favors, return them to me.”

The future is too far away from the present, no one knows what will happen then. However, this is the

happiest time in his life.

The woman he loves is by his side, with only him in her eyes and is trying her best for him.

Even if he can’t live, he is satisfied because he has everything he wanted, no more regrets.

After being buried in his arms for a long time, Lily also thinks that she is being too hypocritical so she

hurriedly lets him go. She zips up his jacket for him, wrapping him tightly.

Lily smiles brightly and says, “Let’s go out and look around properly. If you like anything you must tell

me and I will buy it for you, okay?”

Don’t sneak around anymore because it hurts my heart. She finishes her sentence inwardly.

John nods.

Perhaps it is because of the large number of people traveling abroad recently, when they leave the

hotel, they see a lot of people including men, women, children and even many couples snuggling

together.

Lily does not care much about the people around them. But when she inadvertently glances at John,

she sees him look at a couple as they walk past and then quickly look away. Lily looks at herself and

then John and understands.

She leans over and clasps John’s hand with her hand, intertwining the fingers.

are already slightly cold.

Lily suppresses her distress and mutters, “It is almost minus one outside. It’s very cold. I can’t stand the

cold. You must watch over me carefully and don’t let me freeze.”

John is taken aback but he recovers soon and quickly clasps her hand tightly, wrapping her hand

warmly with his palm.

“Okay.”

In Country F, the spring festival for these two seems freezing cold. But on the other side of the world in

Country Z, every household is celebrating a warm and lively New Year with fireworks exploding in the

sky from time to time.

This year, Daisy’s new home is the liveliest.

Except for Lily, Coffey and Joey both came back and also brought their future spouses.

“Mom, let me help you.”

Although Chloe doesn’t know how to cook, she wants to please Daisy and leave a good impression.

She insists on barging into the kitchen even if she can only help wash the vegetables or pass a dish.

Daisy says, “The kitchen smells like burnt oil and smoke, just sit in the living room and have fun.”

“No problem, Mom. It’s not new year without making the kitchen smell like oil and smoke!” Chloe says

smartly. Seeing that the dish is almost ready she brings over a plate to take out the dish in.

“Oh, right, Chloe.” Joey who is busy peeling shrimps looks back at Chloe, “You came here to celebrate

Spring Festival, what about Louis?”

“Louis? Probably the same as last year, going to the Smith Mansion to have dinner with Uncle Antony.”

Chloe says.

Ever since she was a teenager with Louis, Chloe used to spend every Chinese New Year in the Smith

Mansion. If she was unable to return due to filming in New York, she spent it with Daniel.

Joey lets out an exasperated cry.

She snuggles a little up to Chloe and says in a low voice, “I keep feeling that there is something wrong.

How did Louis let Lily go on a business trip alone? Is he not worried at all?”

Chloe immediately nods in agreement and whispers, “I think so too. You don’t know how much he

treasured Lily before. It’s impossible that he let her go abroad alone, not to mention at the time of

Chinese New Year.”

“Also, I went to the Smith mansion to meet Louis a few days ago, his face looked so cold and he didn’t

even pay attention to me. I wanted to ask the staff about where Lily went for the business trip but they

didn’t tell me.”

Joey’s eyes widen, “Did they break up and Lily went abroad to heal her pain?”

“Louis and Lily have such a good relationship, they won’t break up, right?” Chloe says. However, in her

heart, she is also very suspicious, “I asked Coffey, he also said that he hadn’t contacted Lily for some

time.”

“He is a big liar!” Joey rolled her eyes, “I am telling you; Lily ranks first in his heart and he will do

whatever she asks him to do.”

“They don’t really have a problem, do they?”

“I should be asking you this. You are close to Louis. You should know if they are alright?”

Chloe purses her lips, “But Louis avoids me now. Doesn’t Kay accompany Louis for work? You ask Kay

to look around Louis to see if what he can dig out.”

“Oh right! I almost forgot.”

Daisy finishes preparing the food and was about to take them out. Seeing the two, she can’t figure out

what they are whispering, “What are you both talking about? Who has a problem with whom?”

Chloe immediately stands up and smiles obediently, “Nothing much, Mom. We were just gossiping a

bit. I’ll take this dish out.”

Taking the dish from Daisy as she says that, she slips out of the kitchen.

Chloe puts the dish on the table and sees that Coffey isn’t talking with Kay but rather standing by the

window answering a call. Not knowing who he is talking to, her expressions turn a little helpless.

She sneaks over, trying to eavesdrop.

Coffey finds her coming towards him and quickly ends the call with a quick “Happy New Year”. As he

turns around suddenly, Chloe can’t prevent herself from falling into his embrace.

She nestles into his arms, not letting go. She raises her head and asks, “Who are you calling with such

a gentle tone? Do you have other cute girls out there?”

The corners of Coffey’s mouth twitches, “No, don’t think nonsense.”

“Then you tell me, who was that?”
