Fall in Love After the Flash Marriage

A Broken Heart

Luke Lu's Moonlight Heart Apartment was located in the downtown where the house price was the

highest. He tended to live on the 20th floor. There were actually no other residents in the building, for

the whole construction belonged to him.

On the huge glass window the rain patted down.

The rain in spring looked cold.

When Jenny Jin woke up, she found herself lying on a bed. Tilting her head,she saw a bay window.

She still felt groggy and her body seemed to weigh one thousand ponds. No one else was in the

house,so it was very quiet.

The dark night outside the window was like a pool of stagnant water, but the bustling night life of

Xicheng was just about to start. The traffic under the neon lights was only the tip of an iceberg. In the

corner of the city,there were people who indulged themselves in an extravagant lifestyle. Along with

those wilted roses, they degenerated by the sewers, emitting unpleasant smells.

All felt like a nightmare.

And she might have let it go as a dream,if not for a strange pain coming from her body caused by a

slight movement.

When Luke came back with the ointment to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, he saw

Jenny sitting on the bay window.She wore a black vest and white silk trousers.She was looking out of

the window with arms crossing on her legs . Her long hair fell over her shoulders and her faintly visible

butterfly bone. Water dripped from the tips of her hair and fell on the cashmere blanket.

She was like a delicate but dumb doll.You could see no emotion in her eyes.She looked down through

the window as if a queen inspecting her people. Luke went forward and sat in front of her.After taking

out all sorts of medicines from a bag,he unscrewed one of them and tried to hold her arm.

"Don't touch me."

She did not turn her head when saying that.Instead,she faced the glass window, staring at the swirling

raindrops outside. Her voice was very low. You could feel few power in such a faint, dumb tone, but her

stiff back announced her determination.

Luke's fingertips almost reached her wrists, and he could feel the subtle flutter of the hairs on her arms.

"Do I just repulse you?"

Jenny huddled herself into a ball ,not even taking a glance at him.

Luke's face sank. He stood up and strode out of the bedroom. After a huge sound of door being

slammed, the big house was quiet again.

There are things that cannot be reversed or repaired, such as the harm you do to a person,such as a

broken heart.

Jenny did not move back to her own apartment.Instead,she stayed at Moonlight Heart

Apartment,mainly,to avoid Victoria,who was a short-tempered woman.She would grill her if she had

seen the way she was.

The apartment was good apart from being packed with the smell of that man.Daily necessities were all

available and a supermarket was downstairs .

Every night before going to sleep,she would text Luke, "I want a divorce."

And Luke would reply to her within five minutes, "No."

As if it had become a routine: texted him, waited for his reply, then tossed and turned to sleep every

night.

She had got a reply from the casting director of 'JX' ,who asked her to attend a public training in Beijing

one month later. Then,they would identify her role and start shooting. She had her own ways to settle

down in Beijing, and find out the truth of that year.There was no need to bother the Lu family.

One night of the week before the engagement party, Jenny couldn’t fall asleep in her bed.She had sent

a text message to Luke, but he didn’t reply. She was a bit upset somehow.

There were the ticks of the lock being unlocked from the living room, then a sound of steady footsteps,

which stopped at the foyer for a moment, then walked towards the bedroom.

"No way." Luke stood in the bedroom doorway and uttered these two words coldly in front of her.

Jenny was unable to think for seconds. She turned over and sat on the edge of the bed. "Why?” she

asked.

"Grandma hasn’t had an operation yet, and your contract with me says that you can’t get a divorce

before my grandma's operation."

"How can you guarantee that you will divorce me after grandma's operation?"She stared at him.

She was not stupid. For the first time,she talked about the divorce with him in a serious manner .

Luke raised his eyebrow slightly, "what do you suggest we do?"

"Sign the divorce papers first."

When Jenny said this, Luke's face darkened. He knew Jenny wanted to leave him, but didn’t expect her

being so determined. There was not even a hint of hesitation in her voice.

"Are you so eager to get away from me?"

Luke suddenly grasped her arms, with his eyes shining like icy darts.

Jenny took a step back.She gasped for the sharp pain from her shoulders, but refused to make a

sound by clenching her teeth.

"Luke, have you ever heard of that birds of different feathers do not flock together?" Gritting his

teeth,she asked in a muffled voice, "Since you just want a uterus to carry your baby, any woman have

one. I don't want to be pregnant, why do you force me?"

Aware of the pain in her voice ,Luke slowly let go of her arm, but clenched his fists.

"OK, I'll sign it."

The sound of the printer operating made the empty apartment seem even quieter.Two copies in one

style of the divorce agreement.The effective date was set by Luke--in the following February.There was

still a whole year to go.

After signing their names,each took one copy. It occurred too smoothly to be real for Jenny.

"I’ll move back to my apartment tomorrow.Do you mind if I stay here for one more night?" She asked.

"You shall go back to Beijing with me tomorrow."

"Why?" Jenny was puzzled.

"We are to hold an engagement party one week later.You shall meet my family in Beijing in advance."

"But we have signed the divorce papers..."

"Everything will go as usual before the divorce papers take effect," Luke said. His cold face was as

hard as a statue. "Grandma will go back with us ,so don't worry."

Biting her lips,Jenny thought that no matter whether she wanted to get engaged or not, she had an

appointment in Beijing. It would make no difference if she arrived in Beijing earlier or later. Besides, if

Diana heard that their engagement was canceled, she may be suspicious.So Jenny agreed with him at

last. They had obtained their marriage certificate.It was only right and proper that they made up an

engagement party.

The next day, Jenny was hurried to leave so Luke had ordered Chen to wait downstairs early in the

morning. After Jenny getting into the car, Chen drove to the Flower House to pick up Diana, then they

headed for the airport.

All the way, Diana kept murmuring, "I'm too old to have long time journey. Is there any problem to

celebrate it in Xicheng? Why must Beijing? Who knows what the engagement party would be like. "

Jenny supported Diana and comforted her all the way, "You haven't been back for a long time.They are

probably missing you. Besides,it's good to go back and stay for a while."

"How flattering!" Diana smiled and patted the back of Jenny’s hand. "Don't be nervous. Luke’s father

looks serious,but in fact,he dare not disobey me.He won’t challenge the granddaughter-in-law chosen

by me."

Jenny nodded.

"When we arrive in Beijing, don’t worry about me. You can hang out with Luke’s siblings."
