Fall in Love After the Flash Marriage

Chapter 180 Sugar-coated Bullets

Luke was not the one who was always joking. The coldness could be felt in his words, as if there was

no humane smell from this earthly world. It was not known whether his attitude stayed the same with

what it was the last moment. During the first few days Jenny got to know him, she felt he did not put her

into his mind. What he said was always there in her mind, which was like the reading comprehension

exercises in her senior high school.

That was really tiring. She could not get his meaning although she tried her best. There was no other

result except to make her completely uncomfortable from deep in her heart.

This was why when he said “smile to me”, Jenny just felt a little shocked and did not put it into her

mind. She lowered her head and touched her hair beside her ears, and then she smiled, which made

her dimples deep, as if they could be pricked through by a needle.

A woman who had slept with a man was always exceedingly fascinating and mature in the eyes of that

man, even though she was pure and innocent like a little girl when smiling.

The unique charm in Jenny seemed to have mixed the maturity of a woman and the innocence of a girl.

That enchantment was just at the point, which would be boring if one percent less, and coquettish if

one percent more.

Anyway, this smile was remembered by Luke to his heart.

“Is my smile beautiful?”

The soft sound rose in the study room, as melodious as the sound from an instrumental string.

The dimness in Luke’s eyes gradually dispersed. His voice was low but heavy, “Yeah.”

She intended to joke with him. It did not occur to her that he would respond so directly. Hearing the

word “yeah”, she suddenly blushed. She turned her head around, “I am sleepy, and I am going to bed.”

“There will be an auction in the Center Museum tomorrow afternoon. Go with me if you get nothing else

to do.”

Jenny had walked to the door, but she paused upon hearing these words, as if she was hesitating. She

nodded, with her back to him, and uttered a word lightly, “OK.”

She knew that it was impossible for her to conceal the fact that she was Mrs. Lu. But people would say

she had an unusual relationship with Luke if their wedding was not held. She would rather go to attend

some important activities with him right now. It was beneficial for her.

After she went out, Luke closed the folder and an envelope was revealed. He threw it into the dustbin

without a blinking.

Sugar-coated bullets were indeed useful. Whenever it was, people would like to avoid harm and go for

their benefits or interests, and people also liked the beautiful things and an amiable atmosphere. Luke

was no exception.

The next day, red carpet was laid on the ground of the Center Museum, with the best security in the Xi

City. People who were careful would notice that everyone was tall and muscular, including the ones

who were parking the cars for the guests and the bodyguards.

The other day, media had reported that some jades and calligraphy and paintings were going to be

auctioned today, among which the jade necklaces and rings were the most famous, because they were

carved by the famous sculptures in ancient times.

When Jenny held Luke’s hand and came there, a car of Sky Song’s was behind them. Sky was holding

a hand of an old man, who wore a formal suit. They were talking and laughing, and they said hello to

Luke. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Sky Song seemed like to introduce them to each other. She just held the old man’s hand lightly.

“Luke, this is boss Bao of Wu Liang Group.”

“Uncle Bao, this is Luke Lu of Luke Up Group.”

Boss Bao looked like he was in his early fifties and was in a good spirit. He reached out his right hand

and smiled loudly, “I have heard a lot about you. You can get such a great achievement at such an

early age. You are indeed an example for the youngsters.”

Luke seemed to think highly of this boss Bao, which could be seen from his strength when he was

shaking hands with Bao.

“You are overpraising me.” Luke responded lightly.

“Are you also interested in antiques?” Bao was curious, “I thought the youngsters do not like these old

things.”

“I am indeed not interested in the antiques, but there was something I want in the auction.”

“Well. What is that? Can you tell me? It would be interesting if we had a crush on the same thing.”

“The Jade Gilt Ring.”

At the words, an unbelievable light appeared from Bao’s eyes, “Are you also here for the Jade Gilt

Ring?”

“So are you?” Luke was still very calm.

Bao paused for a while, and his facial expression soothed very soon. He smiled, as if he was destined

to get that ring, “Although there is a saying that goes ‘a good man will not fight for something other

people like’, but the ‘Jade Gilt Ring’ is my favorite. I am afraid that I have to compete with you for it

today.”

Sky Song was there half-joking, “Who does not know that you are here for the ring to give it to your

wife? Who can pay a higher price than you do?”

A light smile could be felt in Bao’s eyes, but there was still a slice of pain that flashed in his eyes, which

was seen by Jenny. She felt it a little unpleasant.

People in business were very good at disguising. Was it not for her pondering over acting for so many

years, she would not have noticed the subtle change in Bao’s facial expression.

A line of people were chatting while they were walking towards the auction spot.

“How come Luke has a crush on this ring? It is not the most expensive item in the auction today.”

This was the question Jenny also wanted to ask.

Luke said lightly,

“The ring is suitable for my future wife.”

At this, Jenny was a little shocked and raised her head suddenly to look at Luke. She had not heard

about it before she came here.

Bao’s chipper sound rose, “I have heard that you are getting married very early, but it is still not known

who will be your bride. It seems like your wife will be this Miss. Jin?”

Luke did not say anything. He just held Jenny’s shoulders, pulled her towards him and walked towards

the booth.

“Boss Bao, here is our booth. We need to go.”

Bao took a look at Jenny, with much meaning in it. There was all praise in his eyes.

“OK. Our booth is next to yours. It is just there ahead. There is still much time before the auction. If you

do not have anything else to do, you can come to our booth. After all, Miss. Song and you are familiar.

There is always something you can talk about.”

Sky followed Bao. A layer of cold mist could be seen in her eyes. She did not say anything for a long

time.

Bao stroke the jade ring on his thumb gently. He shook his head while walking, “I have heard that this

Luke was not into women. I am afraid that he had some special hobbies that were different from other

people. But now I see that he is a match for Miss. Jin. If I do not get it wrong, that Miss. Jin is pregnant,

which is double happiness. The hearsay should not be taken true...”

When he said “pregnant”, Sky Song’s eyebrows were beating.

“Do you think she looks like pregnant?”

“Isn’t she? Her coat is kind of loose, but it can be seen from her walking style. She was always holding

her waist when walking, which is similar to my wife when she was pregnant many years ago. She might

not want to tell the public her pregnancy very early. After all, she is an actress.”
