Chapter 345


    When they arrived in the suburbia, they chose a ce next to a brook. Some of them started to set up


    tents, and some set up the grills.


    Only rence and ‘Little Rabbit’ were sitting in the folding chairs aside. One was calm and easy, and


    the other one widened his eyes, looking around to enjoy the view.


    Ste walked over and squatted down next to rence. She said crossly, “Mr. Conrad, are you here


    inspecting?”


    rence looked at her and answered calmly, “If you could tell me earlier, I would take Nathan here.”


    Ste was speechless.


    What a shameless man!


    rence added, “Besides, I am doing something.”


    Ste was confused, “What have you done?”


    rence turned to nce at the boy, who was stilling upright, “If I don’t take care of him, what if he ran


    away and got lost? How will you exin to his mother in that case?”


    “Ho ho.”


    Ste wasn’t in the mood to talk to him. She took out a cup of yogurt from her snack bag and gave it to


    ‘Little Rabbit’. Rubbing his head, she said, “Boy, just sit here and be a good boy. Don’t run around.


    Probably there would be a lot of bad eggs around here.”


    Next to them, rence slightly snorted. He disdained how she tried to scare the boy.


    ‘Little Rabbit’ held the yogurt in his hands and nodded solemnly, “I won’t run around and neither will I


    make trouble to you.”


    Ste smiled. She stood up and said, “Good boy. You can y with this... uncle here. I’ll call you over if


    the barbecue is ready.”


    rence asked unhappily, “Why are you treating us so differently?”


    Ste gritted her teeth, “Just shut up, Uncle!”


    rence was speechless.


    After Ste was gone, ‘Little Rabbit’ turned to look at rence, passing the yogurt in his hands to him.


    rence said indifferently, “It’s for you. I won’t drink it.”


    “I know. Uncle, please open it for me.”


    rence sneered, “You are so old now. Why can’t you open the yogurt?”


    ‘Little Rabbit’ answered in a serious tone, “Uncle, when you got off the car, you snatched the candies


    from Ste’s mouth. I’ve seen it.”

    rence’s temples popped. He looked at the boy expressionlessly, and his eyes were fierce and cold.


    ‘Little Rabbit’ wasn’t afraid of him at all, “Uncle, if you don’t open it for me. I’m going to find Ste...”


    Before he finished speaking, his hands were empty. rence opened the lid and returned the yogurt to


    him.


    “Thank you, Uncle.”


    After that, ‘Little Rabbit’ raised his head and drank the yogurt in silence.


    rence said, “Brat, you came out alone. Aren’t your family worried?”


    ‘Little Rabbit’ finished drinking the yogurt and corrected him, “I’m already ten years old. I’m not a brat.


    Uncle, when you were young, didn’t you ever go out with your friends before? Did your family forbid


    you to go out?”


    rence was rendered speechless again.


    On the other side, Sherry secretly checked on what was going on with them while adding the carbon to


    the grills, “I didn’t expect that brat and Mr. Conrad could enjoy chatting so much. Have they thought


    each other a bosom friend?”


    Ste raised her eyebrows and smiled, “You called him a handsome young man before. Now you


    called him a brat.”


    “Jesus... Ste, I was wrong. Please don’t mention my dark history.” Sherry felt so exhausted, “As soon


    as it ends, I’ll send him home. I won’t believe anyone known online anymore. What a little liar!”


    Ste said, “Is there any misunderstanding? He’s quite cute and polite. Did you just imagined too


    much?”


    Sherry stubbornly retorted, “How could it be possible? He sent me photos of his abs. I couldn’t imagine


    them, could I? I don’t want to fall in love anymore in my life. I’ve encountered all kinds of scumbags -


    scumbags who cheated on me, who kept a girlfriend pool, and this one as well... He’s so young but he


    didn’t behave himself at all. He learned to be a scumbag. I don’t think I have the luck to fall in love. I’d


    better be a nun.”


    Ste patted her on the shoulder with a smile forfort, “No worries. After the design contest, you


    can go take a leave and travel. As long as you can join the activities in real life, you would meet your


    Mr. Right.”


    “I’d better give up. Anyway, I can always attract the scumbags. I’ve epted my fate.”


    Ste raised her head and looked at the young couples who were teasing each other next to the


    brooks. She curled up her lips, “It’s so good to be young!”


    Sherry also looked over, heaving a sigh, “Exactly. If I were still their age, how could I be heartbroken by


    the scumbags?”


    They had takeout and snacks for lunch. After that, two couples found a flower field nearby, so they


    went over.


    Others who didn’t go there either took a nap in the tent or sat next to the brook, lost in thought.


    Ste sat next to rence and whispered, “Mr. Conrad, do you feel quite bored?”


    rence turned to look at her, curling up his thin lips into a smile, “With you beside me, how could I


    feel bored?”


    Ste also smiled. Looking at the sparkling stream for a long while, she said, “Sometimes, I feel too


    stressed at work. If I hang out with those kids, I will feel rxed.”


    “Kids? How much older are you than them?”


    Ste said naturally, “Also I’m just a few years older, I’m still older than them. In my heart, they are like


    Chan. They are my younger brothers and sisters.”


    rence reached out and held her in his arms. He whispered, “I’m only a few years older than you.


    Why did you call me Uncle?”


    Ste didn’t answer.


    rence bit her earlobe gently, “Ehn?”


    Instantly, Ste’s cheeks turned red and burning. She reached out to push him away, “Stop it! There


    are so many people here!”


    rence turned around and checked, “I can’t see anyone.”


    Except for the child, who was doing his homework with his back to them, there was nobody else.


    Sherry also had gone somewhere.


    Ste protected herself with her hands in front, “No, you can’t do it.”


    Upon hearing it, rence chuckled, “What can’t I do?”


    Ste was shocked.


    She didn’t expect that at this moment, the wretched man still tried to flirt with her. She wasn’t in the


    mood to talk to him anymore. When she was about to stand up, he pulled her back and said, “All right.


    I’ll stop teasing you. Sit here with me.”


    She could hear the faint tiredness in his voice.


    After a while, Ste asked, “Are you still quite busy recently?”


    rence hummed. He exined, “I’ve got a lot of things to deal with. I’ll be on a business trip


    tomorrow.”


    “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”


    “I wanted to tell you today. Who knows you had such a n.”


    Ste curled her lips. She had to admit that it was her bad.


    After a pause, she asked again, “When will youe back?”


    “I’ll be gone for a whole week at least.”


    rence didn’t worry about her. After all, a lot of people were protecting her in secret. He worried about


    other things.


    Ste sat up in his arms and asked, “Are you bothered by something? You seemed to be a bit weird


    today.”


    rence curled up his lips, “Weird? In what way?”


    “You are rarely so serious.”


    “It seems that you like me more when I’m not serious.”


    Ste choked up.
