Chapter 93
When Ste was in college, there was such a kind of ancient street next to her university. She always
wandered there with Sherry in the evening.
The ancient street next to their college was just a long street, far less crowded and bustling than this
one.
However, much to her surprise, rence would like such a lively ce.
Soon, the snacks that Ste ordered were served to them one after another.
Ste picked up chopsticks, ready to eat. She found that rence was reading a document on his
phone. After a thought, she passed him a pair of chopsticks.
The wretched man didn’t raise his head at all, taking over the chopsticks naturally.
Ste curled her lips and got another pair for herself.
When she was half-full, rence put down his phone. He nced at the food on the table, “Why didn’t
you eat those dishes?”
Ste chewed the food in her mouth and swallowed before answering, “Mr. Conrad, you didn’t order
anything, did you?”
rence pushed the dishes in front of her and answered tly, “I’ve told you to mind your own
business.”
It seemed her kindness wasn’t appreciated.
Ste ordered all her favorite snacks. She left a few dishes to him out of kindness, but rence didn’t
appreciate it. She decided to eat them herself.
After she had tried everything, she burped.
rence cast her a nce, “Are you full?”
“Yeah. I’ve had enough. Let me...” She wanted to ask the owner for a takeout box.
Before she finished her words, she found that rence picked up his chopsticks, eating her leftover.
Ste was stunned, wondering why he was doing that.
What was he doing?
As if he had noticed her confusing gaze, rence said indifferently, “Haven’t you been taught that you
can’t waste any food?”
“I...”
She didn’t n to waste them. She wanted to take the leftover away.
Ste quieted down, looking in another direction.
On the street, the light was bright, making the night more beautiful.
People who came here were mostly lovers, friends, and families, looking quite harmonious. rence
and she had divorced but they were having dinner together - they might be the only two in this case.
While she was lost in thought, rence had finished all the leftovers, “Let’s go.”
“Okay.”
When Ste was about to head to the exit, she found that rence was walking towards a more
crowded street.
She was confused.
rence took a few steps, noticing that Ste hadn’t followed him. He looked back at her and said
expressionlessly, “There are so many people here. I won’t carry you in my arms. You’d better give up
this idea as early as possible.”
Ste put on a wry smile. She couldn’t find any right words to bitch about him. She fastened her pace
and bypassed him, walking forward.
Just like what he had done earlier, rence followed her and walked beside her calmly.
Ste took a few secret nces at him, wondering if the wretched man was going nuts. She didn’t
know what he wanted exactly.
Before Ste could figure it out, she was attracted by the fluffy toys on the street stalls.
She walked over and picked a few of her favorite. When she was about to pay using her cell phone,
she heard the notification sound saying that the bill was paid.
Ste looked back in disbelief. rence put away his cell phone. Unhappiness was written on his
handsome face, “Why are you looking at me?”
She was staring at him and wishing that she could open his brain to see what on earth was wrong with
him today.
Right then, rence’s cell phone rang. He turned around and found a rtively quiet ce to answer
the call.
The owner of the stall put the toys in a bag and passed them to Ste. With a big smile, she asked, “Is
that your husband, Ma’am? You both are good-looking. What a perfect match!”
Ste wanted to deny. The owner continued, “By the way, Ma’am, are your husband and you here to
hang the Yue Lao te or setting the festiventerns?”
[Note: Yue Lao: A god of matchmaking who unites persons in marriage.]
Ste didn’t understand, “Pardon me?”
“The Yue Lao Temple is the most famous ce here. A lot of couples came here to hang the Yue Lao
te. It works very well - just write the names of your husband’s and yours on it. God Yue Lao would...”
While the owner was speaking, rence came back after finishing the call.

Ste immediately put on a wry smile and interrupted the owner, “Oh... I see. Thank you. We’ve gotta
go now.”
Fortunately, rence hadn’t heard the owner’s words just now. Otherwise, he would mock her for
indulging in the wildest fantasy.
Ste almost escaped from the stall.
rence walked over to her. With a frown, he asked, “Why are you walking so hurriedly?”
“I just felt sleepy. How about I’m going home now? Mr. Conrad, you can stay and enjoy wandering
here.”
“You want to sleep after having dinner. Are you a pig?”
Ste was choked up by his words.
rence said in a cold tone, “Don’t y any tricks. I’ve told you I wouldn’t carry you in my arms.”
Ste was truly exhausted.
After being silent for a few seconds, she was forced to continue with the walking torture that she didn’t
know when would end.
Walking for a few minutes, Ste saw a river, on which there were full of bright and beautiful festive
lanterns.
She guessed that those were thenterns mentioned by the owner. Along the river, there was a long
corridor.
It was more crowded than the streets - the corridor was fully packed with people.
Most of them were young men and women. They were holding tes with their names, trying to find a
ce to hang them.
Looking at the scene, Ste roughly could figure out why rence had taken her here.
Since the hotel resort project was ongoing, rence must do some field trips to study the local tourism
so that he would know how the upancy rate would be.
She had misunderstood. For an instant, she thought it was because...
Ste came back to her senses. Looking back, she saw rence standing on the riverside, looking
quite peaceful and gazing at thenterns in the river.
She walked over, “Excuse me, Mr. Conrad...”
“Ste,” rence interrupted her in a cold voice, “Here’s another chance for you.”
Ste didn’t get what he meant, “What?”
rence turned to look at her. His thin lips slightly parted. He said while stressing each syble,
“Remarry me.”
“Well... Mr. Conrad, I do appreciate you offer me such a chance, but I don’t need it.”
rence snorted coldly. Withdrew his gaze on her, he said, “Don’t answer me in such a hurry. Think
twice. I wouldn’t give you a second chance.”
Ste quieted down, realizing this wasn’t the first time that he asked her to remarry him.
Before she could speak, rence added, “In that case, nobody would say that I don’t care about you
and let you leave your hometown and move to an unknown ce, where you have nobody to rely on.”
Ste’s mouth corners twitched, “Mr. Conrad, it’s just a misunderstanding. I’ll exin it to Ms.
Beckham.”
“Not necessary,” rence said, “You and I both know who on earth was the irresponsible person who
left without saying goodbye.”
Ste knew it was her fault. She forced a smile without speaking.
After a moment, rence added, “I’ll give you plenty of time to think about my suggestion. Tell me your
answer by my departure.”
