Chapter 35
The crowd's laughter filled the room, and Fade flung his hair and put on a posture that he thought was very handsome. He walked to the innermost space of the lobby and sat opposite Quin. He started the conversation with a smile, "Dear, what can I do for you?"
"Don't call me that in the company." Quin glared at Fade coldly and then glanced downstairs. "Also, your little tricks with Donald are extremely boring."
Fade immediately stopped smiling and said grievingly, "No... Ms. Lin, it was Donald who provoked me first, and I was just..."
"There's no need to say that. I don't want to know." Quin interrupted Fade's complaint. "I called you here because I have something to tell you."
"What's the matter? Even if it's something that will kill me, I'm willing to do it for you, President Lin," Fade said ingratiatingly.
Quin said without emotion, "You don't have to die to do this. At 8 o'clock tonight, there will be a networking event in Bay Central Hotel. I want you to accompany me to the party."
"Ah... a networking event." Fade was a little dumbfounded. After all, he had never attended such a party on Mount Tianwu.
Quin raised her eyebrows and said, "Why, you don't want to? Then I'll find someone else."
"No, no! My wife, President Lin, I'm willing. I'm willing to do so." Fade hurriedly said, "However, I've never attended such parties. I'm afraid that I'll embarrass you."
Quin said lightly, "Even I'm not afraid of this, so there's nothing for you to be afraid of."
Hearing this, Fade felt a little strange.
"Alright, it's over. You can leave now." Quin started to drive him away.
Fade said, "Honey, I haven't eaten yet. How about I stay here and have lunch with you?" He picked up his chopsticks and was ready to pick up food.
However, Quin put down her chopsticks, stood up, and said, "You eat these, and I'll have mine downstairs."
Now, Fade did not dare to say anything. He could only put down his chopsticks and said with an embarrassed smile, "My... President Lin, calm down. I'm just kidding. I'm going down now. You must eat well and not starve yourself."
With this, Fade went downstairs, went to the counter to fill up two plates of food, and returned to Xenia again.
Before he opened his mouth, Xenia curiously lean over. She blinked her big black eyes and asked, "Doctor Chen, why does Miss Lin want to see you? Did she punish you for not coming to work for two days?"
"How is it possible?" Fade stuffed a drumstick in his mouth and said carelessly, "Miss Lin wants a date with me after work."
"Humph, forget that I asked." Xenia said with a look of disbelief, "Miss Lin wants to go on a date with you? Why don't you say that you are Miss Lin's husband?"
"Miss Lin is really my wife," Fade muttered with a smile, but obviously, Xenia wouldn't believe it. Instead, she picked up a drumstick and put it into Fade's mouth, saying, "Don't talk nonsense. If Miss Lin hears it, she will fire you. Let's eat."
"This drumstick that Xenia feeds me is the best." Fade grabbed the drumstick and bit into it. In a few minutes, he finished both plates of food.
After lunch, they rested for half an hour. Then, afternoon work began. Fade went straight into the pharmacy and started working. Soon, it was time to get off work. Fade came out of the pharmacy and saw a message from Quin. He tapped into it and saw read the message from his wife. She asked Fade to go to the basement carpark after work and proceed to leave for the party venue.
Fade quickly changed his clothes and rushed to the basement. As expected, Fade found his wife's red Ferrari parked at the front of the elevator.
He got into the car, fastened his seat belt, and they left the office building. Instead of returning home, she drove to a shopping street in the center of Bay City.
Quin guided Fade around all kinds of luxury stores. She changed his attire and appearance from head to toe, from inside to outside, even his aura had changed. The usual frivolous smile is now packed with charm, which could possibly seduce any woman. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Of course, it was all the work of the new attire which cost more than 500,000 dollars, which was so expensive that Fade's heart was bleeding.
After dressing Fade up, Quin also changed into her dress.
The light blue dress was very fitting to her body, which outlined Quin's perfect curvature. The exquisite but understated necklace and earrings she wore gave her a luxurious yet elegant vibe.
Even Fade, who had known Quin for a long time, could not help but feel amazed at her. He stared at Quin and felt himself salivating.
"What are you looking at? It's getting late. Let's go."
Quin rolled her eyes at Fade and turned around but she could not help but smile.
Fade wiped the corner of his mouth and quickly followed her. He sat in the passenger seat with a smile on his face. "Dear, I feel a slight regret for agreeing to go to the party."
"What's wrong?" Quin couldn't help but feel nervous and stared at Fade. She was afraid that he would regret and drop out halfway.
Fade's eyes sparkled and said with a smile, "Because my wife is too beautiful, to think that your beauty will be shown to other men. I feel that I'm the one who will suffer losses!"
Quin was stunned and her cheeks blushed. She turned her head away with a serious face and coldly said, "You have a glib tongue." Then she started the car's engine and drove towards the Bay Central Hotel.
Fade, who had been staring sideways at Quin, found that his wife began to smile.
Soon, at the entrance of the hotel, the two got off and gave the car keys to the parking attendant. Then they stood side by side.
Quin took a deep breath and seemed to have made up her mind on something, she smiled and held Fade's arm and said, "Let's go in."
This startled Fade. He didn't understand why his wife suddenly became so proactive.
Before Fade could ask, Quin explained in a low voice, "Almost all the famous entrepreneurs in Bay City will come to this party. Howard will also come, so..."
"I show up at the cocktail party as your husband to stop other men, especially Howard. Am I right, honey?" Fade instantly understood.
Quin nodded and said, "That's what I mean. The main issue is Howard. He's not easy to deal with. You have to be careful later."
Fade said confidently, "Don't worry, honey. Your husband is a tough one to deal with."
Quin rolled her eyes at Fade and said, "Don't talk if you don't know what's going on inside. Just stand by my side and smile."
"I understand. Don't worry, my wife. Let's go in. If we don't go in, all the good food and wine would have been eaten by other guests, then it will be a waste." Fade nodded with a look of understanding.
Quin felt a faint sense of regret. Was it appropriate for her to bring this man here?
But before she could think about it, Fade had already entered the hotel with Quin on his arm.
