"Can't you take a joke?" Serena snapped, her irritation barely concealed.
Martin reined in his grin, finding her annoyance oddly endearing, "Sorry, my photography skills need swork.
I'll do better next time."
"Just make sure you do! And you better start learning how to take pictures like other boyfriends do for their girlfriends!"
Martin was oblivious to the complaint; instead, he latched onto the words "boyfriend" and “girlfriend”.
So, in Serena's mind, she already considered him her boyfriend, right? And by default, she saw herself as his girlfriend.
With that thought, a sweet smile crept back onto Martin's face.
They had left too late, and by the tthey got to the riverbank, all the private boats were gone.
Other people had booked their boat tickets weeks in advance. Serena was taken aback to learn that a single boat's pricing varied

“What about sharing a boat with others?" Martin asked the attendant.
“None left either, unless someone is willing to sell their spots to you. Not just private boats, there aren't even individual seats
available."
Martin hadn't anticipated the dinner cruise being such a hit. He glanced at Serena, unwilling to let her down, he haggled with other
tourists and finally managed to purchase two high-priced tickets at the bow of the boat.
Serena, however, was less than thrilled. Squeezing onto a boat with so many others was beneath her, especially surrounded by
ordinary couples, influencers, and families with kids.
For someone of her standing to share space with others, she felt it was a blow to her dignity.
“I'm sorry you're upset, Martin said, not fully aware of the local customs. Fortunately, the dinner was high-quality enough not to
give Serena any real cause for complaint.
With the noisy atmosphere around her, Serena felt irritable, but then Martin snapped a photo of her, skillfully capturing just her,
the dinner, and the view without any intruders.
“Is this better?" Martin tried to lift her spirits.
“Much better,” Serena admitted, scrolling through seven or eight pictures, finally starting to cheer up.
But her good mood didn't last long. She noticed a beautiful glass boat gliding by, its lighting and decorations far superior to their
own.
"I wonder who that guy is over there, being able to rent out an entire boat like that."
“He must be loaded, look at all those flowers. What are they called? I've seen them somewhere before."
“Are they marigolds?"

His smile was full of adoration, treating Arabella as if she were the apple of his eye.
Arabella returned his smile, her gaze filled with him alone.
“That guy's really handsand young! He looks like he's in his twenties!"
“And the girl is gorgeous too! Aren't they the couple who had the private event at the top of the skyscraper?"
"Yeah, that's them! That guy really spares no expense for his girl!"
"They're so cute together."
Sof the passengers on the boat couldn't help but tease, “Marry him! Marry him! Marry him!"
Through the glass, Arabella could vaguely hear their chants. Marry him?
What was happening?
With a smile, Romeo looked at Arabella, "Will you marry me?"
