Chapter 239


    Ste was in deep regret now; she regretted blurted out love temple earlier.


    rence parked the car and said, “Let’s get down.”


    Ste could only ept her faith now.


    rence ordered the snacks that Ste ate during their previous visit at the snack street and led her to


    a table to sit down.


    Ste was quite surprised that he remembered every single snack she atest time.


    But she was pregnant back then and was able to eat much more than now.


    When she wanted to say something, rence looked at her and asked, “Not enough?”


    “… Enough.” It was weird, this was the second time she visited here, everything was different yet


    familiar.


    Ste realized her worries earlier were useless as they had almost finished all the snacks.


    rence’s was picky when it came to food but he never wasted any food.


    Perhaps it was rted to his upbringing background.


    Ste asked after dinner, “Mr. Conrad, is it time to go back?”


    rence stood up and replied, “Walking after the meal is good for digestion.”


    And then he headed towards the love temple and Ste was forced to follow.


    It was winter school holiday now, a lot of young couples could be seen on the street, it was much more


    crowded than thest time there were here.ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    Ste was lost in the crowd after a few steps.


    While she wondered if she should find a ce to rest, someone held her hand.


    She looked up and saw the wretched man that disappeared in the crowd just now came back.


    Ste tried pulling her hand out from his, but his grab only tightened each time she pulled, he even


    locked her fingers with his.


    rence had a very reasonable excuse, “It’s too crowded, I don’t want to lose you.”


    He ignored her rejection and walked forward holding her.


    Ste kept struggling to get loose and didn’t notice a little girl crossed in front of her, she would knock


    on her if rence hadn’t blocked her with his hand.


    It was too crowded, hence, Ste gave up struggling.


    There were like a lovely couple in the middle of the crowd.


    They finally arrived at the temple. Ste didn’t expect that rence would lead her straight to the


    queue to get the writing te.


    She remained calm and rational, “Mr. Conrad, do you think this is proper?”


    “Yes, I do.”


    “Well, I don’t!”


    rence remained calm, “It’s your problem then.”


    Ste was tired and bored with this game, she tried pulling out her hand again but two men approached


    them, one holding a camera in hand.


    “Hi, we work at the love temple, are you a couple?”


    “No…”


    rence replied affirmatively, “We are husband and wife.”


    They exined immediately, “Sir, Madame, we can see that you are a lovely couple and look good


    together, could you please let us take a photo and disy it here at the temple for promotional use? If


    you agree, you can skip the queue and get the te directly, in addition, you’ll receive a small gift from


    us too.”


    Ste didn’t understand in which way did they looked like a lovely couple.


    But the man beside him answered. “Sure.”


    Ste turned to look at him with her eyes widened in disbelief.


    Didn’t he hate taking pictures? Even his picture couldn’t be found on The Conrad Group’s website or


    Finance Times.


    The staff then invited, “Please follow us.”


    “No, I…”


    rence whispered, “Don’t you want to skip the queue, be still.”


    Ste, “?” Was this because of the queue?! That wretched man was full of nonsense.


    The staff led them to the riverside full of lights, “Alright, sir and madam, just act naturally like before,


    chit-chatting like usual.”


    Ste’s face had unwillingness written all over, she didn’t do as they asked.


    rence lowered his head and said, “If you don’t keep still, I will kiss you now in front of everyone.”


    “…” Ste defended, “If you want to be pped in front of everyone, go ahead.”


    rence turned his head to one side and rubbed lightly on her cheek using his lips.


    Ste’s body frozen, she didn''t see thating.


    Compared to kissing her directly in the public, this action was much more… seductive.


    rence was contented with her reaction and he smiled.


    In the meantime, the staff approached, “Alright, we’ve got what we want, thank you so much and


    please follow me this way.”


    Ste was still stunned but her body was dragged forward by the wretched man.


    The staff then handed them a te in the backyard of the love temple, “Please write your names on


    this te and hang it at the tree with lights beside the river.”


    rence took it, picked up the brush on the table to write their names on the te.


    Ste witnessed the whole thing, she opened her mouth but changed her mind as she knew it would be


    useless. She then rubbed her nose and looked away.


    After rence finished writing their names, the staff asked, “Please leave us your address, we will


    send the gift over tomorrow.”


    While rence was writing them the address, Ste approached the photographer and asked, “Could


    you please give me another te? I haven’t written mine.”


    Photographer was puzzled.


    One is enough to write both names, why would she ask one for each?


    rence said casually, “Ignore her.”


    “Mr. Conrad, that was not very nice of you. How could you ignore me when I’ve done my part? It’s not


    too much to ask for another one, right?” Ste said.


    “Whose name would you like to write?”


    “Of course me and Emmett.”


    rence’s face stiffened and looked at her coldly.


    The staff exchanged a nce and fled the scene. They had the address anyway.


    Ste teased, “Is Mr. Conrad angry?”


    “No.”


    “Then…”


    “Jealous.”


    Ste, “…”


    He was indeed the master of ending a conversation.
