Fall in Love After the Flash Marriage

"Mr. Lu, I'm not sure we have the same understanding about marriage."

Jenny takes care of her clothes and sits on the sofa, and Luke sits opposite her by the tea table. "The same understanding?" Luke looks up at her, "Who else is better to be your husband than me?"

"Ah?" Jenny's jaw drops and her mind goes blank.

What's his logic?

"It's not about better or not, listen, we knew each other just a month ago."

"How long would be better?"

"It's nothing about time."

"Oh?" Luke looks at her with mysteriousness.

Jenny looks shocked and wishes to clap herself, recalling her illogical words.

It gets silent in the living room and Luke doesn't mean to start a conversation. And Jenny can't recover from his jokey answer. She thinks hard, lowering her head, before saying this a while later, "Why on earth would you marry me?"

"We're a good match."

Luke adjusts the way he sits and slows down his speech, as if he was determined to win this negotiation.

Jenny finds the conversation can't go any further.

"Forget it. We can't even talk, can we?" Jenny stands up and puts an end to the conversation, "Mr. Lu, please leave. I don't think it necessary to continue."

She's certain that she won't get married with the man who she knew two weeks ago. She's not the impulsive type of person.

Sensing the somewhat impatient look on Jenny's face, Luke stands up, "You should give it a thought."

"Why?" Jenny can't help laughing.

"I'm a perfect match for you in terms of my look and my family background. What's more, I can guarantee you a promising future in the entertainment circle."

Jenny didn't give a thought about his proposal but his guarantee makes her a little interested.

She's well aware of the hidden rules in the entertainment circle. She's just too new to meet many of those. All she wants to do is focus on acting, but she is forced to attend various activities as the company arranges and play second banana with senior actors, and she is constantly blamed for newsjacking.

But if she got married with Luke, would it be different from the hidden rule?

Jenny frowns, scared by the idea.

What is she thinking about? Getting married?

Is she insane?

“Mr. Lu... I don't think it's a good idea. I'll work on my own.'

She clenches her fingers, looking thinner in the big black and white shirts.

Luke throws these words to her, "You'll have time to think about it."

He doesn't give the exact time, but Jenny finds it embarrassed to ask since she rejected him. But his words put the whole thing to an endless loop.

So she grits her teeth and continues to reject him, raising her head, "I don't think it necessary, Mr. Lu."

He raises his arm to check the time, and says in a bland but firm tone, "It's time for the meeting. I'll take you out for dinner. Tell me your decision at night. You'll have enough time to think about it before that." Jenny feels quite embarrassed.

How could several hours be enough to think about such a serious question?

"Can I say no?" Jenny swallows.

"Sure, I never force people." Luke knits his eyebrows, "I'll keep this necklace for now."

Jenny subconsciously feels her neck and recalls she put the necklace on the tea table because it's broken. But he...

"You..."

"I'll keep it for you. It's up to you whether you'll join me for dinner."

Jessica stamps on her feet angrily, "Mr. Lu, it's a bully."

She doesn't want to interact with him too much for she is troubled by scandals because of him.

"Taking a necklace from you is not a bully."

He puts it in his pocket and looks up at Jenny with a cold, serious look in his eyes.

"I want my wife to be obeying. You have my grandma like you and you need a person to help you with your career. It only comes with advantages for both of us to get married. Other concerns are meaningless. Think on the bright side."

After Luke leaves, Jenny slowly feels the edge of the sofa and sits down.

Other concerns are meaningless, so should she think about it that they get married?

When she is deep in thought, the doorbell suddenly rings. Luke might have forgotten something, so Jenny gets up to open the door and finds the driver standing there.

"Did Mr. Lu forget anything?" Jenny asks hesitantly.

He carries several bags in his hands, with sweats on his forehead, "Miss, before you got upstairs, Mr. Lu ordered me to buy some food from Chenghu Restaurant. I had the food packed up. Please eat hot." Jenny is surprised.

"Miss, may I come in? Mr. Lu is waiting for me in the car."

"Oh, sorry. Come on in." Jenny suddenly comes back to herself and makes room for him. The driver puts the food on the table and casts a glance at Jenny with mysteriousness, "Miss, Mr. Lu has never treated a woman like this, except you."

His words overwhelm Jenny and she criticizes to herself,

"He must have never asked a woman to grab the household register and ID card to get married before a meeting."

"Good men should have backbones, but eating the food doesn't reduce my integrity, does it?"

Jenny mumbles as she unpacks the chopsticks. It's just a meal, I can compensate by treating him to dinner."

But she wouldn't love to have dinner with him if she didn't get the necklace from her mother.

When she is eating, there is an income call from Monica.

Jenny is happy to see her call and slides to answer.

The phone is on a pink rack. The screen shakes and a sweet round face shows. She yells in an excited tone, "Babe, you have time to answer my video call. Actors are supposed to be busy with work, aren't they?"

Jenny helplessly shakes her chopsticks, "But they also need food to survive. Plus, I'm a new hand in this circle. I don't have much work."

"Right, just take time to enjoy before you get super popular. By then, we'll have no time to meet. But if you really wouldn't meet me, I would expose your embarrassing history, haha!"
