Chapter 91


    Ste gritted her teeth tightly, wondering if he meant that she was not even a human in his opinion.


    Before she retorted, rence said tly, “Change your outfit. Have a walk with me.”


    “Didn’t you walk around yesterday?”


    “You had meals yesterday. Why would you have meals again today?”


    Ste couldn’t find her tongue.


    What a jerk!


    She hurriedly turned around and smashed her door close. Then she locked it from the inside.


    rence cast a nce at the lock, raising his head. As if he had thought about something, his Adam’s


    apple bobbed.


    He withdrew his gaze and cleared his throat, “I’ll wait for you downstairs. Hurry up.”


    Ste’s unhappy voice was heard from the room, “Got it.”


    Could he just stop urging her?


    If he was in a hurry, why didn’t he just go himself?


    Ste still put on another vintage dress from Dolores, the style of which wasn’t favored by rence.


    In order to make the wretched man wait longer, she slowly put on makeup.


    When Ste walked downstairs, rence was standing in the yard with his back towards her. With one


    hand on the pocket of his suit trousers, he stood upright, talking on the phone in English.


    His voice was deep and maic with traces of chill, quite pleasant to hear.


    Sure enough, the wretched man would always look handsome whenever he was hard working.


    Two minutester, rence finished the call. He turned around and looked at Ste, who looked away


    immediately, “Mr. Conrad, sorry for keeping you wait. I...” she said.


    Ste thought that rence would mock at her again, but he only put the phone into his pocket and


    said indifferently, “Let’s go.”


    All the neighbors joined Evelyn’s tourist team. Usually, they would be sitting outside their houses or


    along the rivers. Currently, they were all gone, so the whole street was extremely quiet.


    The sunshine covered this ancient long street in peace.


    Ste was walking by rence’s side, keeping a distance from him. From time to time, she kicked a


    stone on the ground.


    At the end of the street, there was a wide river.


    Ste used to watch the sunset here every day.


    Usually, a lot of neighbors of Anqiao Street would y chess or walk around with the caged birds


    around here. Now since they were gone, it was quiet along the river with only a few passersby and


    running children for fun.


    Standing beside the river, rence stared at the scenery in distance, lost in thought.


    Ste was standing behind him, yawning.


    She was almost killed by the sleepiness.


    How could he be so energetic?


    When Ste was dizzy, she heard rence’s voice, “Come over.”


    She looked in the direction of his voice, only to find that rence had walked down the steps. He was


    standing next to a boat upright.


    She tried to cheer up, walking down the steps.


    However, when she reached thete level, she looked at the boat that was distanced from thest step,


    hesitating.


    When she wondered how she could get in, a knuckled hand was reached in front of her.


    Ste was taken aback, looking up at him subconsciously.


    rence seemed to be out of patience, “Why are you standing there motionlessly? Come get in.”


    Ste hesitated and then put her hand in his palm.


    When she got in, the boat slightly swayed. She lost her bnce and fell into his arms.


    rence wrapped his hands around her waist. After a few seconds, he said, “Done hugging me?”


    Ste reacted immediately. She hurriedly took a few steps back. However, the boat was in the water,


    and it swayed quite easily. She couldn’t help fall on her back.


    While Ste thought that she might fall into the water, rence grabbed her waist and pulled her back.


    He said, “Why are you acting so fiercely? Move slowly.”


    Inwardly, Ste couldn’t help ming him.


    Watching the scene, the boatman smiled and said, “Mister and Ma’am, the wave is a bit bigger today.


    Be careful. Don’t fall into the water.”


    Ste parted her lips and wanted to exin. The boat swayed again, making her closer to rence.


    Finally, they managed to sit down. Ste immediately moved away from him, trying her best to distance


    from him as far as possible.


    rence cast her a nce and snorted.


    The boat was rickety and rowed slowly on the river. It was quiet all around. Only the sound of wind


    blowing the branches could be heard asionally.


    The river was quite clear. They could see groups of little fishes swimming.


    Ste was lying on her side of the boat, her hands gently skimming through the water. The cold water


    made her feel quite cozy.


    When she was enjoying herself, suddenly she heard the man’s indifferent voice, “Ste Radomil, you


    should know - I’m working, not dating you.”


    She withdrew her gaze, looking quite confused, “Mr. Conrad, what do you mean?”


    “Didn’t you deliberately put on makeup for dating me?”


    Ste couldn’t find the right word to answer.


    “Haha, well, Mr. Conrad, you are truly...”


    rence turned to look at her, his voice bing colder, “What?”


    Ste looked solemn, “You are truly a detail-oriented man. How could you read my mind through such


    a small detail?”


    rence ignored her, looking in another direction.


    After the interruption, Ste couldn’t enjoy skimming the water any longer. She sat upright on the seat.


    The boat was rowed on the river in silence. Nobody talked.


    Shortly after, Ste started yawning again. The warm sunshine fell on her as if it was hypnotizing her.


    Under the sways of the boat, Ste finally fell asleep.


    Her head tilted, leaning against the shoulder of the man next to her.


    rence looked down at her expressionlessly.

    The boatman whispered, “Excuse me, Mister. Are you and your wife traveling here?”


    After a few seconds, rence hummed in a low voice.


    “Which ces of interest have you been so far?”


    “We arrived herest night. We haven’t been any of them.”


    The boatman said, “Then may I rmend a few to you? Those ces were favorites ones of the


    young couples.”


    ...


    When Ste woke up, the boat was almost approaching the bank.


    She stretched and was about to move her stiffened neck, but she found that she was leaning against


    something.


    Upon realizing it, Ste suddenly sat upright, but she twisted her neck carelessly. She let out a small


    cry in pain.


    The man’s snort sounded out beside her.


    It sounded that he wasughing at her for going for wool anding home shorn.


    Ste raised her hand and rubbed her neck. She asked, “Mr. Conrad, why didn’t you wake me up?”


    “Nobody could wake up one who pretends to sleep.”


    Ste was speechless.


    It seemed that the wretched man meant she pretended to fall asleep so that she could lean against


    him.


    Before Ste retorted, rence stood up.


    The boat was pulled in.


    He lifted his long leg and strode to the riverbank.


    rence reached his hand to her. As if he wasn’t in the mood to talk to her, he just raised his chin,


    hinting at her to get onto the bank.


    Ste curled her lips, putting her hand in his palm gently.


    As soon as she got off the boat, she immediately withdrew her hand.


    Hence, he wouldn’t think she was taking his advantage on purpose.
