Chapter 184 Go Fishing

"You're skipping work, Mr. Fu. Your salary should be deducted twice as much if you skip work for no
reason," Rachel joked as she smiled at the man in front of her.

Jack decided to play along. "All I want is to take her out to open her field of vision."

Amused by Jack's theatric expressions, she punched him gently on the chest. "Ass. Where do you
want to take me? Tell me or the police would be on their way."

He completely changed character as he solemnly placed a hand on his chest, shaking his head. "Don't
be scared. I'll take you to a fairyland."

The car echoed with laughter as the two joked along the way. Unconsciously, the atmosphere between
them finally relaxed and brightened as mirth danced across their eyes. In more than an hour's drive,
the sunlight's orange gaze delighted their view.

The road they were going on was flanked by two mountains, as if the road had split them into two.
Rachel admired the scenery with curiosity and excitement.

He drove very fast until he arrived at their destination. Although it wasn't a paradise, it was still a place
that could hold a thousand pictures.

She got out of the car. The sun was still shining brightly outside. Since she didn't take her umbrella with
her, she raised her hand to cover her forehead.

Jack led her along the path till they finally found shade.

"Where are we going?"

she asked curiously. "Fishing," he replied.



Rachel blinked as she gazed at each of his hand, seeing that he had nothing with him. "Are you sure?"
They came out to fish yet he didn't bring any of the equipment.

He saw through her expression almost immediately. He laughed and waved his hand. "You'll know
when we get there."

After walking along the avenue that was paved with stones, a huge statue came into view. It was
carved to shape a fish that had just leapt out of the water.

The winding road stopped at wooden fences. Soon enough, a row of small houses came into view.

It was much cooler here as they were much closer to the ocean.

"In there?"

"Yes."

He led her through the shadowy parts of the path and stopped at the third house. When they arrived,
she peered across the window. It was a shop.

In it was a variety of fishing products that could help them on their way. The shopkeeper was working
on a fishing pole, with his back facing towards them. When Jack knocked on the window, the man
turned his head.

He immediately walked over with a smile. "Hello, what do you need?"

Jack took out his card and placed it on the table. At the sight, the storekeeper nodded understandingly.

He walked up to the side door. "You haven't been here for a long time, Mr. Fu. Welcome back."

He glanced at Rachel curiously before turning back to him.



"Your equipment is at the back. Come with me."

'It seems that Jack's life isn't as boring as I thought it out to be,' she thought.

The storekeeper led them to a red-roofed house with three floors. He asked them to stay in the living
area before going upstairs.

Rachel scanned her surroundings.

A French window decorated one side of the wall, letting golden light stream across the floorboards. It
was a homely view.

A woman in a light blue shirt handed them two bottles of mineral water. "Please drink some water," she
said kindly.

Rachel glanced at the logo on her chest and discovered she was from a fishing association.

Jack opened the lid of one bottle and handed it to her.

After a long drive, she was incredibly thirsty. She drank half of the bottle without trying to catch a
breath.

Once she was finished, Jack peered at her. "Do you want more?"

She shook her head, stretching out her hand. "Give me the bottle cap." However, instead of giving it to
her, he took the bottle from her hands and drank the rest without hesitation.

"Hey..." She tried to stop him but it was too late.

These past few days felt so strangely for Rachel. After so many days had passed, they had finally
started to become more intimate with one another. Although drinking from the same bottle wasn't
much, it was still different.



Rachel tried to cover her embarrassment by looking around casually.

A few moments later, the storekeeper came back with a bag.

The bag was incredibly large. In fact, at the sight of it, Rachel thought they were going camping
instead.

He squatted down to open the bag. "Please have a look. Everything has been maintained," he said. "If
there's any problem, we can change it at any time."

Jack walked over to the table and surveyed the tools with the man.

He picked out three fishing rods. The storekeeper placed them in another bag and led them outside.

The hot air blasted on their faces as they stepped outside the air-conditioned room. The coolness that
had wrapped around her was gone in a matter of seconds.

The storekeeper went over and packed them some baits and nets and placed them in the bucket. He
called out another young man.

The man took their things and smiled at them. "Come with me."

Would they go fishing?

It was so hot that Rachel had to wipe the sweat off her forehead. Green trees crowded around her gaze
as they swayed with the soft breeze.

She gazed at the beautiful scenery ahead of her. In fact, she was too busy admiring the view that she
didn't even notice that Jack was talking to her. The wind was much colder now, given that they were
approaching the water.

Noticing her distraction, Jack smiled. "What are you looking at?"



"The view's nice,"

she replied. While they were talking, the man escorted them to the fishing port. In the meantime, a
strong wind gusted them over. She could already see sparkling water from a distance.

They weren't at a seaside or a lake. Instead, they were at a river. The stretch of the river was reserved
for private fishing.

Due to the place being well-handled, there were tons of fish there.

As there weren't many private fishing clubs around, the fishes were also safe.

"Come and help me," Jack called.

Rachel rushed up to help him.

Once they had taken everything out, Rachel could see all the equipment in good view. He quickly
attached the bait to his string and wrapped it around the bell.

The wind blew over the river. Under the setting sun, the entire waters were plated with a layer of golden
light.

It was incredibly eye-catching. They sat on the chairs under their umbrella as they enjoyed the view.

When Rachel looked to the side, she could also see that other people were also doing the same thing.

Suddenly, they heard the bell ring. Rachel furrowed her eyebrows as she glanced at the man beside
her. He raised his head. "Someone caught a fish," he said.

"Really? Where?" Jack took her to the front and pointed to the direction. She saw that someone had
rushed to the front and started to draw the lines carefully.



The bell rang for the next few seconds as he smiled. "It's just a small fish."

"How do you know?" she asked curiously.

"You can judge it from the sound of the bell."

Rachel enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere. However, Lea had another story to tell.

When Lea returned, she locked herself in a room and told Henry that she didn't want to be disturbed.

Although he was worried, he said nothing.

He could tell that Lea didn't like the baby, but he also didn't want her to have an abortion.

Although he was selfish for thinking so, he still couldn't hold in the excitement he had felt with the
doctor told him of Lea's condition.

His beloved woman was pregnant with his child. If she was willing, he'd even rush to the courts and
have their marriage certificate ready.

When the idea came to his head, he had even surprised himself. He had never thought that he'd be so
willing to marry the woman in front of him.

But then, another thought loomed before him. What would he do if she didn't want the baby?

At the thought, he couldn't help but feel panicked. If she didn't want the baby, then he had no other
choice but to follow her.

Knowing her, he was powerless to what she was planning to do.

Henry had never felt so sober in his entire life.



All she wanted was him.

But he was asking too much.

Henry walked to the sofa and sat down. Numerous ideas flashed through his mind in such a short time.

After careful thinking, he was incredibly worried.

He had no choice but to wait for her to open the door.

'What is she thinking?' he thought.

Lea hasn't calmed down yet. She sat on the bed and stared up at the wall.

She was pregnant. She had never thought of pregnancy.

At least, she never thought of pregnancy before marriage.

But she also didn't want to have an abortion either. All she tried to do was sit there and try to get used
to the fact that she was actually having a baby.

The mere thought ran through her mind as she contemplated with it some more.
