Jace fell silent.

"Are you trying to say that…" Sage changed her tune and asked, "You're totally uninterested in me?"

"No way!" Jace had to refute her. He said, "I'm clearly interested in you!"

This nose was already bleeding from… Clearly, he was very interested in her.

Both of them understood it by heart and let it remain unspoken.

The conversation might take a different turn if they continued on this topic. Sage coughed lightly and changed the subject.

"I'm at the horse farm with Shanie and Jenny. We just got out of the hot spring. Why did you call?"

The first part of her sentence was an explanation to him. She did not mean to surprise him and give him a nosebleed. It was purely coincidental.

Jace gradually evened his breathing and finally remembered why he had called her. "Oh. Do you remember Howl?"

"Yeah. He runs a stall at the antique market." Sage walked out of the changing room with her bag. "Did he contact you?"

"Yup. He went to look for more goods in his hometown an

When he noticed Sage's strange expression, he asked her with concern, "What did Tim say?" He was worried if Tim had scolded her."It's nothing." Sage coughed softly. "He told us to keep a high safety measure.""Oh." Jace did not overthink and said, "We have the bodyguards around. Besides, I've arranged for more men to stand by in Medina City. It'll be fine."The more serious he was, the more it reminded Sage of Tim's advice earlier. Sage's felt like her face was burning. Somehow, she felt thirsty.She opened the shopping bag at her feet and took out a bottle of mineral water. Jace was about to say he could open the cap for her.

    "Oh. It's not a big deal. Isn't that normal?" Jace's grip on the steering wheel tightened. He was afraid and thought she would get angry at him, but it turned out that she was not angry. She even comforted him.He glanced sideways and was relieved to see no trace of anger on her face at all. Then, he asked cautiously, "You're not angry?""I was a little angry at first. Well, you suddenly video-called without warning and made me drop the towel in fright." Sage pushed the blame on Jace and said domineeringly, "But well, you've got a nosebleed from that. I'll let this slide."Jace fell into a short silence and gave it a thought. "I don't quite get the logic." Sage said, "You don't need to understand a woman's logic. You just have to listen to it."Jace responded, "Oh." It was good that she was not angry. Even Sage herself could not understand her logic. Whenever with Jace, her mood swings happened frequently. She would get angry or feel happy without any particular reason.He

It will probably come true soon.Both Jace and Sage were not that talkative, but strangely enough, they kept talking during the drive. They went on from one topic to another topic without feeling awkward. They talked about business management, finance, jewelry, antiques, carvings, painting, and forgery. They even talked a little about skincare and makeup. Jace could keep up with the conversation with his broad knowledge. He could voice his opinion appropriately without sounding pretentious.The two of them kept talking throughout the three-hour drive without feeling tired. The time passed by in a blink of an eye.Sage and Jace had not talked this much in their three years of marriage. By the time

    The bodyguards were all rough men. They were men of few words, but they had a big appetite. As soon as Sage started eating, the bodyguards all followed and started digging in. Sage and Jace shared a bowl of cold noodles. Sage had a small appetite. After having a few bites, she gave him the rest of the noodles and ate other food instead."Hm. The food here tastes nice and authentic." Sage ate slower than the bodyguards. The bodyguards were all eating so quickly and finishing the food in a short time.Jace focused on eating the cold noodles and did not bother fighting for food. He ate whatever Sage gave him.The food was so good that Sage ate a lot. Before she realized it, all the meat, dumplings, and noodles were gone. Jace went to pay for the meal. When he came out of the restaurant, Sage rubbed her stomach and muttered, "I had too much food.""Can you still walk? Do you want me to help you?" Jace asked with a teasing smile. Sage waved her hand feebly. "I think I might need

    Jace noticed Sage turning red as a tomato and furrowed his brows slightly."Why is your face red again?""It's not." Sage reached out and touched her face. She said, "I…I'm cold.""You don't look like you're cold." Jace fixed his gaze on her. "Are you feeling shy?"Sage looked up at him in speechlessness. "Am I? What do you mean? How can you tell I was shy or not?"Jace pointed to himself. "I saw it with both my eyes."Sage fell silent for a short moment. Then, she refuted, "You must have seen wrongly." Sage pushed him with a soft nudge. "Sit properly. Don't think about nonsense. Be pure-minded."Jace fell silent. He thought he was quite pure-minded… Did he say anything wrong?Then, Jace moved his gaze to the black plastic bag in her hands and saw the shape of a corner of the square box protruding from the plastic bag. It did not look quite like the box of probiotic tablets. Jace gave it a quick thought. When he noticed Sage's nervousness again, he finally understood.That

    Sage refused to stop. She reached out her hand to Jace again, but it was a mistake. Her hands slipped and went too far. As a result, her hands went from his outer thighs to his inner thighs and nudged his certain part.Sage was puzzled at what she felt. Meanwhile, Jace jumped in shock.The car jerked once. Then, the air between them froze.After the hiccup, the cell phone suddenly rang. Sage quickly withdrew her hand stiffly and answered the phone.The bodyguards asked anxiously, "Miss, are you guys okay? Did the car get a flat tire?"Sage gritted her teeth in speechlessness. "No."The bodyguard asked nervously, "Why did the car jerk suddenly?"Another bodyguard beside him scolded him, "Are you stupid? If it isn't a flat tire, why will the car jerk? It's the people that moved.""The people that moved? What? Are they doing that in the car?"The stupid bodyguard asked, "Miss, it's not safe to do it while driving. Should we pull over somewhere? You can take your time.""Enough!"

    The store they were in sold clothes of an alternate fashion style. In other words, it was retro fashion, but to put it bluntly, it was simply old-fashioned. Sage picked out a set of clothes for Jace and another set for herself. She chose a light gray sweater, a knit shirt, and a pair of light blue flared pants. After changing into the new clothes, she looked at her look and decided to tie her wavy hair in a high ponytail and remove most of her makeup.She admired herself in the mirror when she was done and thought she looked good.Sage lifted the curtain of the modest dressing room and saw a slender figure with its back to her.

For a moment, he was stunned.When Jace saw Sage dressed like this, for a moment, he thought they had gone back to the time when Sage was still Sage Luz.

Then, she told them to refrain from any unwanted attention.Sage's bodyguard, Alan, asked, "Miss, what are we doing here again? Are we really here to act? I'm not good at acting. What if I fail at it?" "Get changed! What's with all the nonsense!"Sage still remembered Alan's nonsense babble on the phone. She wanted to beat him up, but she held back.She told the bodyguards to find a place to park the car and wait for them in it tonight. If things went well, they could leave first thing in the morning."So you're not leaving tonight?" Alan poked his head out of the window and asked, "Where will you and Mister Jace sleep? Do you need to set up a tent? I can help!"Sage wanted to slap him. Before Sage could act, Adam reached out his big hand from behind and gave Alan a hard slap on the ba

    Sage spread out the notebook and looked at the blurred handwriting. She slowly read it out loud, "Step one, conquer her with sweet talking. Use sweeter and flirtatious words that would make people blush. Forget about modesty and shame in bed. It's best to whisper them into her ears…"Sage read the notes with a straight face, making Jace so embarrassed that he could hardly keep his feet on the ground.Jace strode forward with a stiff face and tried to snatch the notebook away. Sage was quick to dodge and continued reading with her head down."Step two, be aggressive at your offense. Focus and remember this, being rough yet gentle. You can use props such as blindfolds, ties, handcuffs, and so on…"Sage's face turned red while reading it. As the images popped into her mind, she had to stop reading.Jace was about to go crazy. He buried his face in his hands, unable to look up at Sage."Where did you learn all these?" Sage threw the notebook at Jace. "Rough yet gentle? Are you seriou

A trace of interest flashed in Jace's eyes.Sage did not understand, so she asked, "What does a small forward do?"Jace explained, "The small forwards are typically the tallest and most athletic of all players. They are responsible for scoring points and defending. The main goal of strong shooters is to score and create opportunities for teammates. In other cases, they would operate as off-ball specialists. They would wait for teammates to pass the ball, catch the ball, and shoot to score."Seeing Sage's confused look, Jace added, "James and Durant, for example, are playing as small forwards.""Oh!"

Sage knew he would get back at her.She rolled over and lay on top of Jace. She played with his chest and said in a muffled voice, "I have a new nickname for you."Jace responded, "Hm?"Sage looked up at him. "Vengeance."Jace was stunned and soon broke into a peal of laughter.
