“The general’s residence is too far. He probably won’t go there.” Alexander looked at Aurelia. “Do you know if he
has his private place?”
Aurelia shook her head in a daze.
“Is your place close by?”
Aurelia was troubled. “It is, but it won’t be easy to walk there dragging him along!”
Alexander gave it a thought and made a call to request for his personal RV to be driven over.
It was Aurelia’s first time seeing a luxurious RV like this, and her eyes lit up. The RV was spacious inside, and
everything one could need was well-equipped. She couldn’t help thinking this was not an RV but a presidential suite!
“Sorry for the inconvenience. You two will have to stay in the RV for the night as a temporary arrangement.”
Alexander smiled. “This is the most convenient solution I could think of to get Neil somewhere to rest.”

After carrying Neil to the RV, Alexander closed the door. Aurelia and her “uncle” were the only ones left in the
spacious vehicle.
Neil was soundly asleep on the bed while Aurelia stayed beside him. The moonlight shone on her through the
window and illuminated her blissful face.
This was her first time finding out that Neil’s sleeping position was all over the bed. He already had long limbs, to
begin with, and he spread them wide when he was asleep, taking over the entire bed. He even snored loudly.
Aurelia grinned and could not help stroking his face.
“It was just a meal together. Did you have to make it into a drinking contest?”
Neil moved and smacked his lips, scaring Aurelia into pulling her hand back.
Neil murmured inaudibly, “Drink… Come on! Aurelia, I-I’ll beat them all! See who dares to woo you…”
Aurelia froze and suddenly tasted salt at the corner of her lips.
“Don’t you worry. No one dares to do it.” She teared up as she smiled. “Do you know why?”
Neil let out a long and loud snore.
Aurelia giggled and carefully pulled two rings out of her pocket.
Calling them rings was not quite accurate as they looked more like two silver circles. The material and workmanship
were not the best. They were bought on the street, the cost of a few breakfasts.
To Aurelia, who had always skipped breakfast to save up, these two silver hoops were not cheap at all.
“I always bring them with me,” she said softly. “I always… tell people that I have a fiance and that he gave me this
ring.
“Let me wear it on you, okay?”
Aurelia picked up his hand. His fingers were slender with strong-looking knuckles, looking great among men.

chicken out when she was about to slide the ring down his finger.
“Never mind, forget it. I’m not giving it to you!” She wiped her tears and forced a smile. “Gosh, what’s gotten into
me?! Why do I keep taking advantage of you when you’re drunk? I’m a true lady. I absolutely would not do that!”
She wanted to keep the rings as she spoke, but Neil turned around, and his hand hit her coincidentally, slapping the
ring to the bed. His palm then accurately landed on the ring.
“Hmm… What did I get…” he mumbled, “Ma’am, guys, I found a treasure… Haha, let’s continue drinking. Come
on…”
“Hey, uncle!” Aurelia widened her eyes and was going to snatch it, but Neil felt the ring around in his hand and put
it on his ring finger as precisely as a gearwheel.
“Oh, what’s this… It’s on my finger…”
Aurelia held her breath and dared not speak, a glint of doubt flashing in her eyes.
What was up with this man? Was he drunk or not?
