A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 313

Ready for what?

Lily is still thinking about what he said. Then Louis on the stage snaps his fingers and the beam of light goes off. Above their heads, a beam of colorful light shines down on them.

The stage becomes like a paradise and the colorful light envelopes the men on stage.

Music comes out of the sound box and spreads all over the hall.

Louis lowers his head to put his mouth beside the microphone. His left hand uses a clip to pluck the guitar strings and he sings with the music.

“I found the love that belongs to me.”

“Darling, please follow me and fall in love.”

Louis’s voice is very charming. He is humming and singing. His voice and the music become one. It’s like the voice from an angel. Slowly, people downstage become quiet, and only Louis’ voice is echoing in the hall.

“Darling, please kiss me slowly. Your heart is all I want.”

“I see in your eyes that you are all that in my heart.”

Lily, who is sitting with her hands holding her head, keeps staring at the man singing on the stage. She doesn’t even blink. Louis is wearing a thin turtleneck and a pair of black trousers. He holding a guitar really looks like a real singer.

Lily purses her lips and smiles.

“......”

Who would know that Mr. Smith who usually frightens people in the business community is so good at singing love songs?

When the music gets to the chorus, four men on the stage sing together.

“We are deep in love though we are still young. We fight together against the obstacles in future.”

“I know we will forever be in love.”

“Darling, please hold my hand and be my girl. Let me give you the future in your dream.”

“...”

Four men work together marvelously and they are on perfect pitch.

Though it is not electronic music, a love song which is sung perfectly also makes people downstage fascinated. Some of them even hum and sing together with the men on stage.

Some young women seek a chance and shout to the men on stage, “I Do! I Do!”

“Wow. Leigh is so great at singing love songs!” Jessie can’t believe what she has heard, “If it were not because I know them, I would think it is a band which crushes this party.”

Jessie stands up and waives her arms to the men on stage, shouting, “Nice. Go on!”

She is super excited.

Lily and Stella look at each other and can’t help but laugh.

“It’s New Year’s Eve. Never mind.” Lily looks at the man on stage and smiles, “I will be generous!”

Stella smiles too, “I will make a set of rules after we get home, the first of which is that he mustn’t sing outside. Seeing so many women dripping on him, I don’t feel good!”

“Same as you.”

For the things that we love, we want to hide them and cherish them in case that others will cast their greedy eyes on them.

People on stage and down stage are all happy. Only David is crying in his heart.

Damn! What the hell did he do? Firstly, he doesn’t have a girlfriend. Secondly, he is made to watch several superiors showing how much they love their girlfriends. Finally, he is made by his boss to sing on the stage.

And sing a love song!

Can anyone find a poorer assistant than him!

David looks across the bustling crowd downstage. When he looks at the bar, his eyes stop.

He sees a young woman who is sitting on a bar stool with her legs folding. Her face is egg-shaped, and her eyebrows are like the shape of mountain. She purses her lips and is full of elegance. She looks like a quiet, tender lady. She is fascinating.

The young woman looks back at David directly. Her beautiful eyes smile. She raises a glass of wine and proposes a toast to him. Then she drinks all the wine in the glass.

She puts the empty glass on the table and leaves soon.

David is still looking at the stool where she sat.

Having followed Louis for many years, David has been to many high-end banquets. He has seen all kinds of beautiful women. But he has never been like this, with his heart beating so fast and his palm full of sweat.

He thinks of the young man at the bar before and can’t forget about her. He says to Louis, “Mr. Smith, you go ahead. I will go pay the bill.”

Louis nods and says after some thought, “It’s miserable to leave for Yorkshire on New Year’s Eve. Leave tomorrow morning.”

“No, it’s not miserable at all. I love working.” David smiles and says in his heart, “It is more miserable to go back to hotel with you and stay in a single room!”

David walks them out and then goes to pay the check.

It only takes him less than two minutes.

He walks to the bar and leans against it. He asks the bartender in Japanese, “Excuse me. Do you know the woman who was drinking there?”

The bartender shakes his head, “Sorry. She looks strange to me. I don’t know her.”

“Thanks.” David sounds disappointed.

Right. It’s New Year’s Eve tonight. Maybe she just wanted to have some fun and have a drink.

He is indeed crazy, being obsessive with a woman he saw only once.

He even wants to know her name.

It is still lively in the hall, but David doesn’t want to hang around. So he leaves the club soon.

After he walks out of the club, the cold wind hits his face, which makes him shiver.

The street has been covered by a layer of snow. The warm, yellow light from street lamps shines down on the snow, which creates a beautiful view. David only appreciates the view for several seconds and then leaves.

It seems like there will not be a snowstorm, which means he can take a private jet and go back to Yorkshire later.

David calls the pilot and wants to have him prepare for the leave. He puts his phone beside his ear and waits for the pilot to pick up, but then he hears someone talking from behind.

Did someone shout “Wait”?

David thinks about this in confuse and turns around to have a look. He sees a woman in light-purple coat who is walking to him.

It is the young woman who was drinking at the club’s bar thirty minutes ago!
