Chapter 543
Ste continued after several seconds of pause, “You also said that. They’re all young girls. Maybe he
likes…”
“Maybe he likes a boy?”
Ste was rendered speechless.
“Not so. He likes a girl.”
Winnie chuckled, “I know it. It’s just a joke. But to be honest, your brother is handsome. He’s smart and
has good performance in study. Everyone will like him. So you don’t have to worry about this.”
It was Channing’s own business after all, so Ste didn’t tell her about the truth. She nodded her head
slightly.
After a short while, Ste asked, “Do you have any scheduleter?”
Winnie replied, “I don’t have any schedule recently. Probably I will have some variety shows. But I have
to go to the filming base two monthster.”
With Winnie’spany, Ste didn’t feel bored.
The afternoon passed by unknowingly.
When seeing rence, Winnie sensibly found an excuse and left.
rence walked into the ward, “What did she say to you?”
“Nothing. We just have some chitchat.” Ste asked, “When will I be discharged from the hospital
tomorrow?”
“In the afternoon. I have a meeting in the morning.”
Ste said, “You can deal with your work. I can handle it myself.”
rence didn’t change his mind, “You can only leave until Ie.”
Ste couldn’t help murmuring to herself, “What an overbearing condition.”
rence said slowly, “Or I can ask your brother toe here and go through the procedures for you.”
Ste picked up the pillow behind herself and threw it towards him, “How can you do so?”
rence reached out to catch the pillow and curled his lips into a smile, “I have a piece of good news
and a piece of bad news. Which one would you like to hear first?”
“Neither.”
“Then never mind.”
Ste was rendered speechless.
After a short while of silence, she looked towards rence, “Say it.”

“Didn’t you say you don’t want to know them?”
Ste grabbed the other pillow and threw it towards rence.
A trace of a smile shed across rence’s ck eyes. He decided not to tease her anymore,
“Armand has transferred his assets into several overseas ounts in these two days.”
“Is this the good news, or the bad one?”
“A bad one.” rence continued, “This means Armand ns to run away. Once he leaves City n, the
Steward Group will have to take the responsibility for the troubles he caused before.”
Ste furrowed her brows and asked, “What about the good news?”
“The good news is that Armand is involved in a criminal case of attempted murdered and he is barred
from leaving the country.”
Ste was a bit stunned, “Attempted murder?”
rence asked in a calm voice, “Do you remember Arthur?”
“Yes. But didn’t he…”
“As for his case, the murder has not been found. It’s appropriate to use his case to control Armand.”
Ste curled her lips into a smile, “Did you do it?”
rence raised his brows, “Although I like to see your eyes full of admiration and appreciation towards
me, it’s pitiful that it has nothing to do with me.”
Ste ignored him.
After a short while, rence continued, “he will leave tomorrow afternoon. Are you going to send him?”
Ste slightly pressed her lips together, “No I think. Do I have any standpoint?”
“It’s an easy thing to find an excuse.” rence said slowly, “As his partner, it’s reasonable for me to see
him off. You’re my wife. Isn’t it reasonable for you to apany me there?”
“Then I have to thank you.”
“You’re wee. I’m your husband and this is what I should do.”
Ste slid into the bed, “I don’t know. Let me consider it. Don’t talk to me again.”
When she finished the words, rence became silent.
After hiding herself under the quilt for a while, Ste popped out her head and found rence was
sitting on the sofa and reading a document. She said, “Give me a pillow.”
rence looked up at her. He didn’t reply and simply raised his chin, suggesting het to get the pillow by
herself.
Ste got out of the bed and walked towards him. When she picked up the pillow next to him, rence
grabbed her wrist. At the next second, she fell into the man’s warm embrace.
Before she could say anything, rence leaned forward andnded a kiss on her lips. He sped the
back of her head with his big palm.
Ste gasped, feeling dizzy after the kiss. She pressed her hands against his chest, “Why… Why did
you suddenly take advantage of me?”
rence wrapped his arms around her waist, “Didn’t you ask me to be quiet?”
“So this is how you interpret it?”
“Or else?”
Ste patted his hand, “Let go. I want to go to sleep.”
“It’s still early. Can’t you fall asleep?”
Ste’s remained unmoved, “I can fall asleep when I close my eyes.”
rence snorted softly, “Don’t sleep. I will give you some tasks.”
“We’re in the hospital now. You…”
rence was amused, “Does it matters even if we’re in the hospital?”
“We will be arrested if we do something indecent in such a sacred ce.”
rence was rendered speechless.
He said, “Since you said so, I have to doubt your job.”
Ste was confused.
rence took out a white paper from the document file, “Do you forget what you owe me?”
“Based on your words, it seems like I owe you a lot. How can I know which matter you’re mentioning?”
“It’s good that you know you owe me a lot.”
Looking at the pen handed by him, Ste vaguely understood what he meant. She declined it, “It’s not
good to do so. I’m still a patient and I can’t deal with the tasks which require great mental effort. Let’s
wait until…”
When Ste prepared to run back to the bed, she was grabbed by rence.
He said, “I’m right here. How will it be mentally tiring?”
Ste said, “Oh gosh, I feel dizzy again. Can you call the doctor for me?”
rence looked at her expressionlessly.
Ste was rendered speechless.
Struggling in her mind for several seconds, she surrendered and took the pen from rence.
She secretly painted his portrait several times before and she was passionate when doing that. But
now when he was sitting in front of her and fixing his eyes on her when she was painting, it gave her
great pressure. How could she draw a picture under such an atmosphere?
Ste said, “Then let go. I will sit opposite you. I can draw the picture with such a posture.”
rence let go of her.
Ste quickly stood up, picked up the pen and the paper and sat down on the bed opposite to him. She
tried several times, yet still couldn’t draw anything. In the end, she began to bite the nib.
Seeing this, rence knitted his brows and said, “It’s dirty.”
Ste coughed and adjusted her posture, “Don’t move. I will begin to draw your portrait. Don’t talk to
me because it will disturb my creation. For something like inspiration, it will not appear again if it is
disturbed.”
“Okay.”
Hearing his agreement, Ste secretly curled her lips into an inexplicable smile and then quickly drew
his portrait on the paper.
In less than five minutes, she put down the pen, “It’s done.”
rence didn’t believe it, “It’s so quick. Are you offhand with me?”
“I’m so sleepy. I have to go to bed. Good night.”
As she said so, she put the picture under her pillow and closed her eyes.
