Stefan looked at Renee and asked casually, "So, what are your plans?"Renee drank another mouthful of soup, then asked, "What plans?""You can't really stay in the business field forever, right? It's a complicated and dangerous world. You won't be able to handle it for long," Stefan explained, as he had experienced the struggles within the industry as well. He figured that a woman like her wouldn't be able to bear the stress of managing a business. Although they were divorced, he didn't wish such an uneasy life on her. "How would you know if I can't handle it?" Renee looked towards the man, a confident smile appearing on her face. "Just look at me now. Aren't I doing well? Azure Group has only been established for a few months, but we were able to secure a big contract! I even became the president of the Electronics Technology Association! Everything is going well as of now, so sorry for not seeing the dangers in this field, I guess.""You're too naive!" The man shook his head,
Stefan lowered his gaze, staring at the hands around his arm with narrowed eyes. "What's wrong?""People! There are so many people!" Renee looked around anxiously, then tried pulling Stefan into the backseat of the car. As she continued to squeeze in, she mumbled under her breath, "There's so many of them! They're coming for us! Oh god, this is so scary… Let's hide in the car!""Many people?" Stefan looked around, the confusion on his face evident. It was midnight by the time they left, and they were the only two in the parking lot at the time. 'What is she talking about?'"Hey, why are you being so stubborn? They're right behind us! Do you have a death wish? Hide in here, quick!" Renee was so panicked that her face was red. She used all her strength to drag Stefan inside as if they didn't have much time.Helpless, Stefan could only listen to her demands, getting into the backseat with her. It was fortunate that there was a lot of space in the back, considering that it was an
Stefan opened his eyes, and yelled furiously at the shocked Renee, "Do you think this is funny?""No, there really are a lot of little people on you, they're crawling around your hair now…" Renee said desperately as she pointed towards his head anxiously. "And there are so many weeds growing out of your head! Let me pluck them out for you…"After saying that, she really did start yanking on Stefan's hair lightly. "Don't worry, I'll pluck them all out for you! One, two, three…""This is getting ridiculous!" Stefan was speechless. Eventually, his anger subsided and was quickly replaced with helplessness. Leaning against the backseat dejectedly, the man allowed Renee to yank on his hair continuously as if he were putting up with a naughty child.'Fine, if she wants to play it this way, she can do whatever the hell she wants! I'd like to see just how long she will keep this act up!'With that thought, the two could be seen pressed against each other in the backseat of the car, as Rene
Stefan was awoken by her shouting, and sat up with a frown. It seemed that he had taken his shirt off as well. His tanned skin was exposed for all to see, along with his muscular build. It was as if God had taken extra time to create this man, blindly giving him the gift of charm since the moment he was born.The intimacy of their current state surprised him so much that he was wide awake in seconds. His eyes were locked on Renee as he asked, "What's wrong?""You scumbag! You know what's wrong!" Renee immediately grabbed a jacket to cover her body, punching Stefan on the arm. "You're such a monster! How could you do this to me?! Just look at my stomach! If something happens to me, I'll make sure you rot in hell!" She really had no idea what happened last night, but she could put the pieces together. She thought, 'A man and a woman half naked, cuddling each other? What else could have happened?!'"Wait!" Stefan forcefully stopped Renee from hitting him, trying his best to recall
The man looked completely serious."I'm sorry, I must've been possessed last night or something. I have no idea why I would do those things…" Renee's cheeks were still flushed. She didn't dare to look directly at Stefan. Her voice was soft. "If you don't mind, we can just pretend nothing ever happened. I'll pay you compensation, and you delete that footage. What do you say?"Stefan retorted. "Do I look like I need any more money?""Nope!""So give up on that thought. You should think about how you can compensate me in other ways instead. Otherwise, I won't be deleting this any time soon," Stefan said in a nonchalant tone. "What else can I possibly compensate you with? Don't get greedy here!" Renee sat up, warning Stefan. "I'll be honest with you. I have a video of your antics while you were drunk too! If you dare to leak that footage, don't blame me for doing the same! We'll just have to go down together then!"Stefan seemed to yield to her threats, and he didn't push her an
Stefan remained silent; lips pursed as he focused on the road.The car lumbered towards a ring road, with the vast blue sea surrounding both sides of the road. Everything seemed especially bright and cheery. However, Renee found this quite terrifying, not daring to move a single muscle. She wondered, 'What is he doing bringing me to the seaside? Is he still holding a grudge against me for biting his lips last night? Is he trying to murder me and throw my corpse into the sea?'"Hey, Stefan, calm down! Don't resort to such extremes, okay?" Renee said, sounding as if she was trying to manipulate her victim."I know I may have been inappropriate to you, but I didn't mean to! You're out here looking like a whole snack, and you were dressed so sexily!"You looked like an incubus, honestly! I just made a mistake that any other woman would make! So please just forgive me, just this once!"I promise I'll never make the same mistake ever again! I won't ever bite you even if you did everyt
"Oh my god, Stef, you're finally here! I've called you hundreds of times! You didn't even pick up a single call! Chris was that close to sending his special forces just to find you!" Xavier exclaimed. Waving towards Stefan, he had donned a dashing suit, with his hair neatly slicked back. Stefan, however, was expressionless and calm. "Doesn't the wedding start in the evening? What's the rush?""Of course, we're in a rush! We're his groomsmen! We have to welcome the bride, and we need to take a group photo together too! We have so much to prepare!" Xavier gushed as he impatiently dragged Stefan backstage. "Go clean yourself and change into a better suit! Your current look is too casual. It's like you're just here for a vacation!"As the two reached the dressing room, Christopher could be found facing away from the door, staring at the beautiful scenery outside the window. He was wearing a white suit, his dashing features enhanced by a light touch of makeup. His gentle and elegant
Having paced around the dessert section for quite some time, Renee began to feel her stomach rumble. She hadn't eaten anything yet.At the time, she was scarfing down a piece of mousse cake, as if she intended to join an eating competition. There was even still some cream stuck to the corner of her mouth, which made her look somewhat adorable.When someone called out to her out of nowhere, she lifted her head, and her eyes met Stefan's gaze that loomed over her.She found her current state rather embarrassing, so she quickly tidied herself up, putting on an elegant act. "They forced me to take this cake. I didn't really want to eat that much…"Christopher smiled, seemingly fond of this side of her. "Looks like our employees are pretty responsible… Don't worry, though—we've hired the best bakers, the best of the best, to make these desserts. They made sure to choose the ingredients well so it wouldn't be too fattening either!"Stefan's hands were snug in his pockets. He stared at R
