A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 164

While Lily is preparing breakfast in the kitchen, Louis fixates his gaze on her standing at the door. Whenever Lily turns around, Lily would see his handsome face, which makes her somewhat timid and embarrassed.

“Uncle Smith, can't you just go and read newspapers.”

His gaze embarrassed her so much that she even can't focus on making breakfast.

Louis leaves obediently to red newspapers. After a while, he stands at the door and says to Lily in a serious tone, “I've read the newspapers, but I think my dear wife is more attractive.”

Lily blushes again.

She makes a nutritious breakfast which includes pumpkin porridge and soup dumplings.

Before Lily could ask Louis whether if he wants vinegar, Louis has picked up a soup dumpling. With one bite, the soup in the dumpling splashes out, which seems to startle Louis.

“Pff.” It is the first time that Lily sees such a dumbfounded expression on Louis's face. Regardless of the soup on her clothes, she burst into laughter.

When she finally calms herself down from laughter, she puts on a serious expression and teaches Louis how to eat soup dumplings.

“Vinegar, for seasoning.” Lily uses chopsticks to dig a small hole on the soup dumpling and pour the vinegar in. “The vinegar can help dissipate the heat in the dumpling, so that the soup would not splash out when you have a bite.”

“Ah, got it.” Louis is surprised. He takes a bite on the soup dumpling with vinegar in it, and praises, “It's so delicious. My dear wife, you are a more skilled cooker now.”

Lily peers at him, “Weren't I a skilled cooker before?”

“No, you were.”

"..."

After a while, Lily puts down her chopsticks and cups her cheeks and fixates her gaze on his face. He has long eyelashes, which are like to small Chinese fans, and his profile is good too.

She reaches out to squeeze his cheeks.

Startled, Louis turns to look at her in confusion.

Lily realizes that what she has done just now is so stupid and quickly takes back her hand and shifts her gaze, “Ahem, Uncle Smith, your hair is greasy, and you should wash it.”

"But it's inconvenient." Louis points to his wheelchair, "Dear wife, can you help me?"

Lily nods subconsciously.

Two seconds later, she turns around, slaps herself on the face, and curses in a low voice, "Lily, are you crazy? Why did you agree that? Are you brainless?”

But since she has made the promise, she can only bite the bullet.

After finishing the cleaning in the kitchen, Lily goes upstairs to find Louis. It is the first time that Lily has stepped into Louis' bedroom, which has a high-class decorations style and a light pleasing fragrance of sandalwood.

Lily picks up the remote control to raise the bathroom curtains. Then sunlight scatters on the floor through the windows, which is quite dazzling and warm.

"The weather is good today!" Lily sees the scenery outside through the French windows, and suggests Louis, "Uncle Smith, let's hang out together later."

"Okay."

Lily rolls up her sleeves, intending to help Louis to stand up, but Louis shakes his head and refuses, "I can do it by myself."

Lily steps backward and looks by the side as Louis props himself up from the wheelchair using all his strength. He holds one leg with his hands and slowly places it on the recliner, and then repeats the action to places another leg on it.

It's a simple action, but it takes Louis dozens of minutes to accomplish it and sweats drip from his forehead with his every movement.

Lily feels distressed for him and clenches her fists.

She swears to herself, “When the affairs in the Smith Group are settled, I will bring Uncle Smith to seek for doctors in overseas. There must be a hospital which is capable of curing his legs.”

Lily is quite skilled in helping Louis wash his hair; occasionally, she would ask Louis whether she should use more strength.

"Uncle Smith, lower your head."

"Lower."

Lily looks down to meet Louis' deep-set eyes. Her heart skips one beat and she says annoyingly, "Uncle, close your eyes, lest bubbles will get into your eyes."

Louis looks into her eyes tenderly, "Honey, you're so beautiful."
