Renee walked out of the restaurant with the dumplings. On the way back to the hospital, she took a


    small whiff, which brought a faint smile to her face.


    Just as she lifted her gaze, she noticed the man before her, who seemed to have been waiting for quite


    some time.


    “You…” The woman felt as if she waspletely stunned, freezing on the spot.


    “So you’ve been the one sending those dumplings all along?” Stefan stood a few feet away, staring at


    her with surprise and confusion.


    “I… I have no idea what you’re talking about,” Renee stuttered, trying her best to deny everything.


    “Stop denying. The nurse told me everything…” Stefan walked towards the woman, looming over her


    as he questioned. “So, what’s your purpose for doing all this?”


    Seeing how she couldn’t talk out of this, Renee spoke truthfully. “What else could it be? I was just


    worried that you’d starve!


    “Why would that matter to you? Do we know each other?” Huffing coldly, Stefan seemed alerted. “Or is


    it because you know I have power and status, and you’re doing all this to get closer to me?”


    Renee rolled her eyes. ‘When did this guy be so narcissistic and thick-skinned? Is it really


    because he received transnts from Jovan?’


    “Let’s say I did it to seduce you. Have I seeded then?” Renee raised an eyebrow, and asked with a


    charming smirk.

    ‘If he wants to treat me as the kind of woman with impure intentions, then so be it. This is the only way


    he will lose interest in mepletely. Then, he won’t question me anymore.’


    “Really now? Then try again, seduce me,” Stefan said expressionlessly.


    Renee continued smirking, cing her slender fingers on his chin. She then spoke in a slow and


    seductive manner, “Well, I know you’re a CEO, and you’re rich. I never found a way to get close to you,


    but I heard from the nurse that your girlfriend ended up in the hospital after an ident. So I figured it


    was my chance…


    “People say that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, so I sent you dumplings every day.


    Once you got used to eating them, you won’t leave me, right?” She replied as if she were telling the


    truth. This was so that Stefan would hate her, and she was rather sessful in achieving this oue.


    “Get lost!” Stefan pushed her away, seemingly disgusted. “I hate maniptive women. You’re nothing


    compared to my fiancée, and yet you are still trying to rece her? Why don’t you take a good look at


    yourself?!”


    Renee bit her lips as this was too much pain to bear, but still managed to sh a smile. “You say you


    hate it, but you look almost intoxicated when eating my dumplings. If I’m a despicable woman, then


    you’re just a man lying to himself.”


    “Shut up!” Stefan became irritated and snatched the dumplings out of her hands, smashing them to the


    ground. “I’d rather starve to death than eat a single bite of your stuff!”


    He then left without any hesitation. And with that, their brief encounter after such a long time ended


    with nothing but heartache and annoyance.


    Renee was frozen in ce, looking at the scattered dumplings. With a bitter smile, she thought to


    herself, ‘Hate me all you want, Stefan, it’s better this way.’
