Chapter 286

"What are you looking at?"

A handsman approached and took the seat on her right side. It was Vincent who had returned with two packaged bowls of congee on the table.

"You took so long just for this" Stephanie withdrew her gaze and observed as he carefully laid out the two bowls of congee.

When it cto indulgence and enjoyment. Vincent was a world-class expert.

He disdainfully glanced at her. "You've got no taste.“

Initially, he had gone to the hotel to drag her out to Central Point, but she insisted on not going. As for the reason, Stephanie candidly told him she didn't want to see certain people, and he accepted that as her strange relationship with Dominick wasn't a secret. Perhaps afraid she would starve in the hotel, he boldly declared that he would take her to taste the most authentic and delicious things in Harlington.

"Wyun hasn't been selling her famous congee for a long time. Handsome, are you her relative? It looks really good!"

Loak personally brought over several plates of dishes and leaned in to look at the two bowls of congee Vincent had brought, showing surprise and joy. He gave them a thumbs up. This congee is the best around here..

"She retired ten years ago after making a fortune, but every tI cto Harlington, I go to his house for a meal"

Vincent behaved like a classy and wealthy gentleman, smiling charmingly as he communicated effortlessly with Look.

Stephanie was very surprised at his language skills.

She quickly grabbed his sleeve and emphasized, "Tell him I want cilantro. I want to put a lot of cilantro in this congee." She loved the taste of cilantro.

Loak smiled and praised, "Your girlfriend is so beautiful, just like a celebrity"

"She's not my girlfriend" Vincent's face tensed slightly, his voice raising in denial Stephanie gave a charming smile and said simply, which was understood by everyone around them, "Because he likes men."

Loak stiffened for a moment, staring at Vincent with a complicated expression before he quickly declared loudly. "Don't worry, we support your kind of people tool"

Vincent's face darkened.

Stephanie ordered two dozen beers, drinking them while occasionally pounding the table in laughter.

"Damn it, Stephanie! I'm telling you, don't get too cocky"

Furious, Vincent narrowed his eyes and took away the congee in front of her. "I got this as a return of my favor."

Stephanie spread her arms around the various dishes on the table-spicy snails, pickled bamboo shoots with beef tripe-solemnly declaring, "This whole spread is mine! Spit out the all the things you just atel

"You wantto spit it out?"

Vincent, seemingly out of his mind with anger, shouted, "Fine, Il vomit everything right now... Grabbing her with his right hand, he pulled her close, pressing his large head against her chest, as if about to vomit all over her.

"Move asidel"

Seeing how serious he looked, Stephanie panicked, pushing his head away with all her might. "Vincent, keep this up and I'll smack you!"

"It'll all be worth it once I vomit all over you" Vincent's long-held resentment was about to explode. He cling tightly to her waist, refusing to let go and behaving like a sulking child.

"He's shameless.

Stephanie wasn't about to let him have his way. She viciously kicked his leather shoe with her high heel, causing Vincent opposite her to cry out in With that, he couldn't hold on any longer. He was so angry that his voice trembled as he screamed. "You witch!"

Stephanie saw his disheveled state and laughed even more arrogantly, slamming the table. "You should be thankful I didn't kick you in the croich?"

she jeered, while the people around them watched the commotion and burst into laughter.

Vincent, in a fit of recklessness, grabbed a chilled beer can, opened it, and chugged it down, the coldness hitting his core.

Damn, he was glad no one here recognized him

"Vincent, have you guys ever cto this kind of roadside stalls before?"

Stephanie, with her cheeks slightly flushed from drinking five bottles of beer, drunkenly pondered something she was curious about Vincent glared at her, holding a grudge. "You keep drinking, and I'll dump you under the overpass."

I'm asking you a serious question,"

Fueled by alcohol, she lost all semblance of decorum, dragging her chair closer to him. "Tell me, quickly. Has Dominick ever cto a roadside stall like this to drink?" She seemed genuinely curious.

Vincent was caught off guard by the mention of Dominick's nand didn't immediately respond.

Stephanie shook her head resolutely. "Of course not, right?" She waved her right hand in the air, her voice more determined. "He's not like you. You're a flin, but you're easy to get along with. He's different...

"He's like an ice block, cold and distant I never know what he's thinking."

Vincent fell silent. He always knew she was a drunkard, but loving alcohol didn't mean one could ald hold it, as she was currently demonstrating Hearing her say these things surprised him a bit.

"Your tolerance is terrible," he couldn't help but remark.

Watching her continue to drink as her pale face flushed red, matching her stubborn personality, Vincent found himself questioning for the countless number of twhy Dominick had ever been interested in her. This unreliable woman seemed completely mismatched with him.

However, she really was a very special woman.

He watched her rosy face as she raised her hand to drink, her brows m slightly furrowed as if deep in thought. Her earnest, straightforward Her gaze was beautiful, while it was easy to get lost in her sparkling eyes.

"Even without him, I can still live well!"

She tilted her head back and shouted at the sky, laughing freely as her face radiated with joy, Vincent rubbed his forehead in exasperation and sighed. "Stephanie, do you know how embarrassing it is to be around you?"

"What did you say about being embarrassing! Say it again if you dare."

She grabbed his tie and yanked it, nearly choking him. She was clearly using her drunkenness as an excuse to act out.

She suddenly remembered their past grievances. "And last time, when L was in the hospital, you nexplicably yelled at me, saying anyone withwas unlucky. You never apologized. Apologize, now!"

Vincent was exasperated. "Why do you hold grudges for so long?"

"I can hold a grudge against you for a lifetimet Stephanie hiccupped, shouting at him with bravado. But something about her words struck Vincent as odd, and he fell silent.

Her bright pink handbag on the table vibrated, accompanied by a crisp ringtone.
