Chapter 275: Be My Girlfriend
Chapter 275: Be My Girlfriend
Lily gently kicks it away, “Go play by yourself.”
The little German shepherd comes to her again.
“Oho! Go play by yourself. Let me cook breakfast before I play with you.”
“Don’t climb up my leg, you are so fat.”
She tries to drive it away and then gives up. While cooking when she occasionally looks down, she can
see its fluffy body.
She sighs, “You ate too well while you were with Mr. Smith. Look how you are growing so fast, even
faster than my cat.”
The puppy raises its head and sniffs something, then runs out of the kitchen.
Lily, thinking it is hungry and is running out to eat the dog food, ignores it and stays focused on her
task. Because her back is turned, she can’t see it running towards Louis who just came down from the
second floor.
Louis still hates pets. However, after taking care of it for so long, he is now used to the puppy running
towards him and biting his slippers. With his cold expressions set in stone, he is just about to go to the
bar to get some coffee, when he feels like someone is in the house.
There’s a pair of small sized ladies’ shoes in the entrance hall, and there’s someone in the kitchen.
He raises an eyebrow questioningly, walks towards the kitchen and opens the door to find a very busy
Lily. The bamboo steamer next to her is steaming and it smells really good.
The busy woman in the kitchen which is filled with delicious smell of food makes the villa feel a little
more alive.
He leans against the door frame lightly without making any noise and watches her cooking with
interest. She mutters while preparing the ingredients, “Wait, what I should say to wake him up?”
“Darling! Wake up, I made breakfast for you. No! This feels so awkward even saying here alone. Or
should I say, Mr. Smith, I was really forced by Mr. Daniel. Please, don’t be angry! I will cook you
breakfast for a whole month. Wait, a whole month? No, no! Waking up early for a whole month is too
tiring…”
“Oh! It’s so annoying! It is all because of Daniel. It’s not like I am the only person close enough to
Louis, but he keeps on calling me!”
“I hope Daniel goes bankrupt soon!”
Louis laughs quietly, and says lightly, “You might need to pray a few more times. My brother has a lot of
companies; his earnings are comparable to those of the Smith Group. It will take a long time for him to
go bankrupt.”
Lily is startled. She jumps up and turns around to see Louis standing there leaning on the door frame
lazily, “Mr. Smith, you are awake? Ha ha…”
She guiltily smacks her forehead lightly, forgetting that her hands are full of seasoning, and gets soy
sauce all over her forehead. Seeing that, Louis bursts out laughing uncontrollably.
The corners of Lily’s lips twitch.
Quite unlike his usual self, he laughs cheerfully, looking like a fool.
“Lily, you have sauce all over your face now.” he takes a couple of tissues and comes over to help her
wipe the sauce from her forehead. The two are very intimate.
“Ah! Thank… thank you.” Lilly stammers as she leans back.
The more she leans back, wanting to hide, the more he comes closer. Finally, he places both his hands
on the kitchen counter, confining Lily in his arms. He says lazily in his deep voice, “Why do you think I
would be angry with you?”
Lily looks at his serious expressions and stammers nervously, “I… I don’t know…”
“Hm? You don’t know?” He leans closer, “Listening to you blabbering for so long, I thought you came to
cook just to make me happy and make me forget about that thing.”
It’s over; he has heard it all…
Lily’s lips twitches as she smiles guiltily, “Mr. Daniel really forced me to sign the contract. I came here
just because I love to cook and wanted to cook for you.”
“I don’t believe it!”
“What?”
Louis says, “I think you purposefully wanted to sign it. I’m afraid it had something to do with me.”
“I can swear, really!”
“Hah! Liar!”
Lily is shocked.
He can’t just guess everything. It is too much!
Louis slowly says in a rational tone, “Okay, make me believe it. I will give you a chance to prove it.”
Lily asks, “How?”
“Be my girlfriend.” Louis strokes her cheek softly with his thumb and says affectionately, “As long as
you let me have your heart, I will believe that my brother forced you to sign the contract.”
“……”
Seeing Lily lower her head, seemingly thinking about the fault in his words, he continues to coax her, “I
promise I won’t look for you in the company, or tell people about our relationship until you are ready to
make it public.”
“Don’t you think I would make a great boyfriend? I can be everything you want me to; I can be your
teacher when you want to learn, I can cook for you when you want to eat.”
Lilly retorts contemptuously, “The food you make is not edible!”
“I can take care of you.” Louis thinks for a while and then adds, “And your cat.”
“I can do that myself!”
“Lily, think about it, I am a goldmine. Don’t you want it?” Louis tries to persuade her with a gentle tone,
“If you have me, you won’t have to worry about anything your whole life. I have heard that a long
vacation in Czech Republic is really fun. Don’t you want to take your mother for a trip? I have my own
plane; I have several actually.”
Lily’s heart is a little moved, “What about going to the North Pole to see the penguins?”
“Easy! You can even raise them if you want to.”
“I will think about it.” Lily bites her lip, “I keep feeling like something’s not right.”
There is a glimmer of light in Louis’s eyes, but his tone is calm as he says, “That band you like, SF,
they will have a concert in LA next month. We can take our own plane and be in the first row. After the
concert, you can even go backstage, meet the members and get autographs… and even have dinner
with them.”
Lily is a little excited.
Even have dinner with them?
Seeing that she has successfully taken the bait, Louis smiles slightly, “As long as you become my
woman, you won’t have to do anything yourself. Those stars will come to eat and chat with you
themselves, and give you autographs.”
“I agree!”
Louis asks her again, “Do you agree to be my girlfriend?”
“Yes, I agree!” Lily nods her head.
A deep smile appears on Louis’s face as he kisses her on the cheek, “Okay then, Mrs. Smith, I will go
upstairs and change my clothes. I will be waiting for your breakfast.”
Lily doesn’t react until Louis is out of the kitchen. She is stunned.
Mrs.… Mrs. Smith?
Her heart beats loudly for a very long time just because of that name. She tries to calm herself down.
After thinking about it clearly for a bit, she realizes that Louis set her up.
He asked her to be his girlfriend, and then after she was distracted, he changed it to Mrs. Smith. He
really reeled her in with a bait.
When someone proposes, there are roses and diamond ring that can blind people with it’s shine. What
the hell is this?
Proposing with just words?
No!
Lily slaps herself fiercely and curses, “This is not the time to worry about the proposal. If I become his
girlfriend, we can break up easily, but if I become his fiancée, how hard would it be if we were to break
up.”
After calming herself down, she says in her heart: Please cherish your life and stay away from Louis!

Because of his scheming lies, Lily feels depressed. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
As soon as she enters the company, someone jumps on her from behind her, almost making her fall
down, “Lily, you woke up early today and ran to prepare a loving breakfast for Mr. Smith again, didn’t
you?”
“Stop it! I am angry.” Lily doesn’t want to acknowledge her.
Jessie lets her go and puts her hand through Lily’s arm instead. Seeing her bitter expressions, she
became happy in a flash, “Oh, Lily! You look grumpy…”
As Lily shoots her with a death stare, she changes her sentence at the speed of light, “You don’t look
good, did Mr. Smith bully you?”
Lily grits her teeth, “It’s more than bullying!”
