Irene saw from Lisa's gaze that he was clearly unwilling to eat it. She lifted it closer to his lips: "Just one bite."

The man had already given into her childish antics plenty of times tonight. As expected, he gave her face once more and took a bite of the biscuit she offered.

"How is it? It's good isn't it?"

"Not bad."

By 'not bad,' what Boss Manoban meant was that it did not taste horrible. His words could also be understood as 'delicious.'

Lisa could easily tell that she was feeling proud and allowed her to be as she pleased. By the time the two of them left the night market, it was late in the evening. This night market spanned across a large distance. Although Irene had previously changed into a set of casual wear, she was still wearing the pair of heels meant to go with her gown.

Her feet had been hurting when they ran from the venue. After walking through the entire night market, right now, the pain in her feet was truly unbearable.

"Earlier, you came directly from the airport. Did you drive here?" Irene saw that the night market's exit was crowded and jam-packed with cars. She guessed that it would be impossible to flag down a cab here as there were too many people hoping to hop on one.

"No."

"Then, how will we go back?" Irene scanned the cabs amongst the sea of people; there were barely any available cars.

Right now, they were not in T University, but in the city center where T University chose to hold its one hundredth anniversary celebration. From here, heading to T University and the condo would take them at least thirty minutes by car. However, it was impossible to get into a cab from here.

"Let's head to the plaza outside the venue's main entrance. It's less crowded and more convenient to flag down a cab there."

"The plaza outside the main entrance?" Irene turned toward the direction of the venue. This place was rather far away from where they had started. She considered returning back to the main entrance, and as she stared at the long path and the streetlights ahead, she felt her legs aching even more.

Lisa lowered his eyes: "Do your legs hurt?"

"It's all right. This sort of heels is meant to go with gowns, so they're a little taller than usual shoes. It's not very convenient for walking long distances." Irene's answer was casual.

The man chuckled lightly. She was clearly in pain and worried about the long walk ahead, yet she insistently held onto her face. His thin lips curved into a gentle smile. "It's not as if I'll laugh at you if you admit it. Why are you forcing yourself to bear with it?"

"What else can I do? We can't possibly sleep on the streets. Our condo is located right in T City; it's not especially far away. There's no need to stay in a hotel nearby. Besides, I didn't even bring my identity card, so we can't enter a hotel." Irene held a few small bags in her hand. She raised her feet, shifting it in an attempt to ease the aching pain. "It's already so late. Even if you want to call your chauffeur over, he might already be asleep. Let's just call a cab..."

She suddenly paused as the tall man knelt down in front of her.

"Climb on."

Irene watched the crowd around them before turning toward the plaza that was a long distance away from them. She then looked at the man kneeling before her, her lips curving into a sweet smile. Without arguing further, she approached to lean against his back.

Lisa brought her up into a piggyback carry. His long leg shifted forward as he took stable steps ahead.

Irene wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her face close. "Have you carried anyone else on your back?"
