Let's Get Married Chapter 1 My Husband and My Bestie

It is 9 p.m. on rainy day. On such a cool autumn night, Lily stands in front of the villa without an
umbrella, the clothes on shoulder getting soaked by the rain. She doesn’t pay it any mind though and
keeps the present under her arm carefully wrapped with her coat.

Today is Lily and Tim’s first anniversary. Lily is supposed to be at her mother's house, but she secretly
bought a gift to surprise Tim.

As she walks to the door, her clothes get completely soaked. She takes the key from her pocket out
and opens the door carefully. Without turning on the light, she stands at the porch and changes her
shoes. As she takes off her shoes, she sees a pair of red high-heeled shoes on the floor.

Lily is shocked, because she knows that those are clearly not her shoes; she can tell be the size.

The heart feels like it is being grabbed by a pair of invisible hands. Lily puts the gift in her arms on the
ground and walks slowly towards the bedroom on the second floor.

The closer she gets, the clearer the conversation becomes—

“Oh, Tim...”

A familiar female voice penetrates her eardrum; she is enjoying herself quite a bit.

“I know that is how like it,” the man replies. That is without question Tim’s voice.

In the corridor outside the door, Lily feels like she is walking on the edge of a knife with every step.
Even if she can't see what's going on inside, the intensity of the voices paint a vivid picture in her mind
of what is happening.

“Who do you like better, Lily or me,” the woman suddenly asks. This makes Lily's heart drop into her
stomach.



“Are you getting jealous? I am only focused on you baby. How can I even think of her when I have
you?” Lily’s heart breaks into a million pieces.

Lily thinks to herself, nobody believed that her husband had never touched from when they started
dating into now. Tim had said that he couldn’t do it. But now, here he is making love with her best
friend.

Lily feels that she is a heroine in a Tennessee Williams’ play. Now that she is facing her greatest fear,
she can’t bear to open the door until they finish. Lilly enters the room and see the two of them lying
naked in the bed.

What makes it all the worse is that the person Tim is with is her best friend Jade.

Jade has been her best friend since high school. Lily thought to herself, how could Jade do this to me?

Lily suddenly recalls that every time she goes back to her mother's house, Jade always asks about
how long she will be gone, but never accompanies her. The reason is much clearer to Lily now. She
feels humiliated.

Obviously, the two in bed don't expect Lily, who should be at her mother's house, to be here. For a
moment, Tim tries to keep calm shouts at Jade, “Get out.”

Lily has never been a short-tempered person. But, this time, she can't hide the anger in her chest. She
glances at the hot kettle on the table, picks it up and throws it at the strange man and woman on the
bed. “The both of you make me sick!” Lily shouts.

Jade brazenly responds, “Lily, you should think about it from Tim’s point of view. The two of you haven’t
been intimate in over a year.” Lily realizes that Jade doesn’t feel any guilt at all.



“Oh, god,” Lily sneers, “I guess I should thank you Jade for taking care of my husband then.” Lily,
getting angrier and angrier, continues, “I always treated you as more than a friend and this is how you
treat me in return! You couldn’t get own husband, so I guess you had to take mine!”

Lily has never been so pointblank with anyone before. Tim looks at her and says, “You need to get out
of here.”

“Don't worry, I won’t stay here anymore than I have to,” Lily responds. Lily can’t even bear to look at
them and says, “Tim, you can explain this to my parents and your parents. I am tired of always having
to explain your actions.”

They have been married for over a year. On their wedding night, Tim had told her that he couldn’t have
a sex. She had thought maybe he was scared and that once they got more comfortable with each other
he wouldn’t have any issues. Her mother-in-law had been asking her why they didn't have children. Lily
hadn’t said anything. Her mother-in-law asked if she had any physical problems. Lily had lied to cover
for Tim, but this just caused friction between her and her mother-in-law. Lily now feels that she was so
stupid for doing that now.

But, even as Lily threatens him, Tim doesn't show any emotion, not even a frown. In all their years
together, Lily had been the one that pursued the relationship. Lily had always been very forgiving of him
and she would always come back to him no matter what he did.

However, enough was enough. Lily could no longer keep her cool and said,

“Let's get divorced.”

After leaving the villa, Lily goes out to find a taxi. She wanders around the street aimlessly until a taxi
finally stops for her. She sadly realizes that she has no place to go except her home.

“Miss, where do you want to go?” The driver looks at the woman in the mirror curiously.



“Just drive,” Lily says to the driver.

The car passes a senior business club. Lily looks at the luxury cars at the door. She, without thinking,
tells the driver to stop.

After paying, she goes directly into the club. She quickly finds the bar in the hall. After a cursory glance
at the expensive prices on the wine list and she orders several bottles.

The hard liquid goes down her throat and into her belly, and her eyes quickly tear up. After a few more
sips, she quickly reflects on the past year, the memories making her feel what a joke it all was.

Her best friend is fooling around with her husband. Lily sadly smiles, her heart is broken.

“Damn it!”

She downs her glass. Then another. Then another. Soon, she doesn't know how much she has had.
But, she does know that she has to pee and walks into the bathroom. After taking care of her business,
she goes out and sees a row of tall men in black suits. The men look powerful and important. Now that
she has some liquid courage, she casually walks up to one of the men, hooks arms with him and starts
chatting with him.

The manager of the restaurant comes up, pulls her away and gives her a look. Seeing that Lily is not
bad looking and wearing famous brands, the manager relaxes his face.

“Excuse me, miss, these are doormen. If you want to meet some big players, I can help you out.”

Lily is drunk and sees a chance to get some revenge on Tim. She has already lost everything to this
marriage. Why should she always have to be the bigger person if Tim and Jade were just going to
betray her?



“Well, I only want the most expensive and most handsome man to accompany me?

As soon as the manager hears that the most expensive, his eyes shine shrewdly. Then he takes her
directly to the VIP area. “Just a moment, I'll call someone right away to come here,” the manager tells
Lily.

The manager goes into the room first and leaves Lily alone on sofa. She is very drunk and dizzy. In a
drunken haze, Lily see the door of the opposite room open and a tall man comes out from it. He looks
handsome and strong with long legs, a narrow waist and wide shoulders. Even the face seems like it is
craved out of stone. Everything about this man is immaculate. Especially those dark and deep eyes,
which hypnotize Lily.

Lily smiles, gets up and walks unsteadily. She grabs the man's arm and says, “Nice, I'm very satisfied.”

The man looks at Lily, raising his eyebrows.

“Let’s go,” he calmly says.

“This is your attitude. Didn't your manager tell you that I'm going to pay you for one night. I don’t care
about money. As long as you make me happy, I'll double it for you!” Lily keeps on talking a big game,
giving a goofy smile and showing a row of neat, white teeth. The man is tall, and she has to stand on
tiptoe to get close to him. “To tell you the truth, this is my first time. Aren’t you
lucky.”
