Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk

Chapter 657: Why Is Your Waist So Slim?

Tianfu Road.

Finnian Lawrence took Lily Sloan back to his private residence; originally, he planned to send her home.

A twenty-minute journey dragged on for an hour and a half on the road; even the most patient person would be worn out.

So, at a certain intersection, he changed his mind and turned towards Tianfu Road.

The housekeeper learned that they were coming and prepared a large table of hot meals in anticipation.

After dinner, Finnian asked the housekeeper for help to tidy up a clean guest room.

After the housekeeper went upstairs, only Finnian and Lily were left in the living room.

He broke the silence and said with a hint of self-deprecation, "I wanted to fulfill my boyfriend duties, but it seems tonight’s not the right time. Are you going to have trouble sleeping in a new bed?"

Seeing the rain outside, Lily realized it was unlikely she could go home tonight.

However, they had only been in a relationship for less than a week.

She didn’t want the other person to think she was a girl who doesn’t respect herself, hesitantly saying, "Actually, I don’t mind the bed, but staying over might not be appropriate. Maybe it’s better to find a nearby hotel and come back another time to taste the housekeeper’s cooking."

Facing the situation, Finnian understood it was inappropriate behavior.

Then, he gently explained, "There’s no hotel within five kilometers nearby. Don’t worry, I have no intention of doing anything bad. If the rain stops before ten, I’ll send you home, how about that?"

As he spoke, his tone was already negotiating, making it hard for anyone to refuse.

However, Lily focused instead on his choice of words, "doing anything bad."

Feeling mischievous, she leaned closer and asked Finnian playfully, "Is it that you don’t like me enough, or I’m not pretty enough, why are there no bad intentions even under the same roof?"

Finnian was amazed by her quirky train of thought.

After pondering for a while, he placed his hands on either side of her shoulders and answered seriously, "I do have the thought of doing something bad, just don’t dare to act on it."

This time, it was Lily’s turn to be at a loss for words.

After a moment of silence, Finnian spoke again, "How about a hug? At least it shows our Lily is attractive, and... I really like you."

The phrase "our Lily" was enough to make anyone fall for him, and his indirect confession afterward made hearts race even faster.

How could Lily resist his gentle charm offensive?

Immediately, she leaned forward.

The young girl’s hands wrapped around Finnian’s waist, noticing his waist was even thinner than hers.

"How come your waist is so thin?" As she spoke, Lily pinched it twice, wanting to see if there was any excess fat.

Finnian’s expression remained unchanged, but it felt as if a feather gently brushed his heart.

He explained, "I go to the gym when I have time, we can go together next time."

Upon hearing this, Lily immediately released her grip, put her hands on her hips, and said, "So you’re saying I’m fat!"

Finnian laughed helplessly, indicating he was deeply misunderstood.

"I wouldn’t dare, frequent exercise is good for health."

Lily didn’t listen, pouting, looking as proud as ever.

Her figure isn’t the tall and slender type, but she’s not fat.

However, her natural baby fat and 36D bust give a visual impact, defining her as a "slightly chubby girl."

The high-intensity work she had been doing made Lily slimmer than when she graduated, except for the stubborn fat on her face.
