A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure

Chapter 287: A Kiss

“Why are you still chitchatting? The game begins.” Jessie trots over and continues, “Leigh, why are you

rubbing your butts? Do you have hemorrhoids?”

“Honey.” Leigh pulls her into his arms, taking advantage of her soft body without any sign of

uneasiness while saying with grievance, “Louis instigated me to invite Daniel, but Daniel kicked me

twice!”

Jessie strokes his head and asks with concern, “Does it hurt? Can you dance later?”

“It hurts.” Leigh hums, “But I will definitely accompany you to dance and to play games. You will have

all the things and cares that other girls have.”

Louis is rendered speechless.

‘Leigh must be a lunatic who just escaped from a madhouse.’ Louis thinks to himself.

The ball room is mainly of Morocco style with the dark red color as its main theme. The rock-and rock it

plays is just appropriate. Young girls and boys are dancing in the center dancing pool. The atmosphere

here is pleasant and lively.

Lily is wearing a medieval court-styled blackish green long dress. With her hair loosely tied up and the

Chanel pearl hairpin on the bun, she looks lazy and elegant.

Her face was palm-sized and her facial features are quite immaculate. The lights keep flickering. When

she’s dancing, her dress swirls. Looking from aside, it’s like a blackish green flower is blossoming in

the dancing pool, which is quite fascinating.

Louis looks at her with explicit praise in his eyes, “Mrs. Smith is so pretty tonight.”

“Thank you. Mr. Smith, you’re so handsome too.” Lily curls her lips into a smile.

This man is really interesting. Every time he would send her the gift secretly, and when she wears it, he

would praise it as if he’s not the presenter.

Won’t he be tired of these tiny tricks?

When the hot dance is over, the emcee walks onto the stage and tells everyone about the game they

will play later and asks those who want to take part in to raise their hands. There are rewards for the

game, and those who don’t want to join in can watch by the side.

This is a game call “find the target while being blindfolded.”

A couple forms a group. The girls will be blindfolded and she needs to distinguish which one is her

boyfriend from the coughs of the male participants and ask him to remove her blinder.

The first couple to remove the blinder will be rewarded with a pair of ‘love’ diamond rings sponsored by

YH.

Just as the emcee tells them all the rules, Leigh, who is in the crowd, hastily raises his hand, “I

promise, I and my girlfriend will be the first couple to complete the task.”

“Boo!”

The people present all roll their eyes at him.

Dozens of couples, including Lily and Louis as well as Stella and Daniel, raise their hands.

The emcee asks the audience to leave the stage and turns to tell the participants that since it’s not

easy to divide 13 groups, they will have to play the game at the same time. Girls are required to stand

behind the white line with their eyes covered. The game will begin when the first man standing opposite

them coughs.

All the men are not allowed to utter a word during the game, and those who violate this rule will be

knocked out.

Lily moans and groans secretly.

Five couples in one group would be barely acceptable. But what the heck, there are thirteen couples in

one group! It’s really hard to find their own boyfriends even if the girls have sharp hearing, for the

thirteen men standing opposite them would cough one by one!

This game is really awful. If she has known the rules, she would have not raised her hand.

During the preparation, Leigh yells at Jessie, “Honey, my voice is quite recognizable. You must find me!

If you choose the wrong one, you’ll know what will happen when we’re back.”

Jessie flushes due to shyness and feels the urge to throw him a bottle.

“Shut up!” Jessie shouts.

A waitress comes over and helps Lily to wear a blinder.

The blinder is thick, thus Lily is soon engulfed by darkness. She feels nervous as she can’t see

anything.

Twenty seconds later, the men opposite them begin to cough.

The emcee has made clear of the rules before: they should cough in a low voice and in an

unrecognizable manner rather than an exaggerated way.

The first man coughs quite gently, and Lily is quite sure that he’s not Louis. Several seconds later, she

hears the cough of the second man. But it’s still not Louis.

Lily still fails to find Louis after distinguishing the coughs of several men, plus that she can’t see

anything, she subconsciously clenches her fists.

“Ahem… Ahem…”

The seventh man coughs in a low voice.

It’s Louis!

Lily concludes that it’s Louis’ cough with only one minute’s judgment and tries to find the direction of

the voice while groping her way towards him.

But as she just takes few steps forward, there comes some screams.

“What’s wrong? Why there’s a power cut?”

Lily loses her eyesight as her eyes are covered. When she hears about the power cut, she has to stop,

but one of her hand is grasped by someone when she’s about to put her hands down.

Her hand is wrapped in a warm palm. She can hear the breath as the person seems to be leaning

forward.

It’s not Louis’ breath. But she feels quite familiar with it.

“John… John Dawn?”

He doesn’t reply, but his breath falls on her hair.

“I know it’s you.” Lily continues. Her hand feels hot due to the grasp, so she wants to withdraw it. But Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

the man refuses to loosen his grip. He gently prises her fingers apart from each other and gropes to

write words on her palm.

Lily rewrites the words in her mind following the strokes and forms them into a complete sentence.

[The dress befits you so much.]

Her voice is a bit weird, “You gifted me the dress and the hairpin?”

The man clicks her palm with his finger.

Lily originally thought it was presented by Louis. But it turns out it was a gift from John.

“You followed me secretly?” Lily asks. He sent her the dress. Probably he has been on the cruise

earlier. Was he observing her secretly all this time? “John Dawn, what do you want to do?”

The man continues to write words on her palm.

[I miss you so much.]

“John Dawn, I can get over with the things happened before, but stop pestering me.” Lily says in a calm

voice while taking back her hand with great force, “If you do this next time, I’ll sue you for sexual

harassment.”

She gropes for another way, trying to leave this man. But her arm is grasped and she’s pulled into his

arms.

“John Dawn!”

Lily is annoyed and exerts great force to push him away. He caresses her cheek with his hot palm and

rubs her lips with his fingers.

Then his cold lips land on hers.

The intimate touch stiffens Lily all over. She looks a bit dull, but the man’s palm has been withdrawn

from her cheek. He leaves quickly, only his footsteps can be heard.

Lily hears the voice of the emcee, “Sorry everybody. There was a tripping just now. Those who use

their phone to illumination will be disqualified. Other participants can continue the game.”

The game continues. And the men opposite the girls begin to cough one by one.

Lily calms herself down and gropes her way towards the Louis after distinguishing Louis’ voice.

After dozens of steps, her hand is grasped by him.

When the blinder is taken away, she sees the smiling Louis. Louis praises her in a low voice, “Good

job, Mrs. Smith. You’ve successfully finished the challenge. We are ranked the third.”

“I thought I was the first one to distinguish my boyfriend’s voice.” Lily is a bit disappointed, “Which

couples win the first and the second places?”

Louis raises his chin towards the left.

Lily sees Stella and Daniel following the direction. The two of them are talking about something and it’s

obvious that they’re in a good mood.

Nevertheless, Jessie and Leigh, who are standing near them, are quarreling.

“It’s all your fault!” Jessie pokes at Leigh’s chest and blames him in a fury, “They just asked you to

cough in a low voice. What the fuck were you doing? Why did you press your throat why coughing? Is it

cool?”

“Babe, don’t be angry with me. I was wrong. I just want to test your hearing.”

“Test your ass. Do you think I’m a robot? It’s all your fault. We could get the first place, but because of

you, we lost the game.”

Leigh comforts her, “It’s okay, Babe. It’s good that we got the second place. Honey, you’re really great!

Look at Lily and Louis. They hardly got the third place.”

“Leigh, I heard it.” Louis looks over sharply, “Are you trying to take us as a foil to you?”
