Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen) novel Chapter 1248

Yankee blinked her eyes, held Joey's arm and leaned over. She joked, "Joey, I am now your 'boyfriend'. Are you going to ditch me?"

"Fine, fine, I won't ditch you, Yankee. I will let my brother stay single and lonely!" Joey said with a smile as she held Yankee.

Seeing this, Fade laughed, "Joey, how can you do this to me?"

"However, there's one thing you are wrong about. Your brother is not single and lonely. I'm Master Chen, a famous man in Dragonville. You won't believe how many beautiful women are chasing after me there..."

"Joey, here comes another tall tale!" Yankee guffawed while covering her mouth with her hand, and Joey followed suit.

Just as the three of them were conversing merrily, a person came over suddenly and said in a disdainful tone, "Is there even a Master Chen within the circle of martial arts? Why haven't I heard of him? Miss Chen, please beware of swindlers."

The newcomer's words were like a bucket of ice poured over their merry mood, and they turned to face the intruder.

It was a young man around the age of 26 or 27 years old. He had short-hair, thick eyebrows, big eyes and a stocky build.

The man had a smile on his face, which seemed both confident and disdainful. Although he was by no means an ugly man, his presence gave off an uneasy vibe. Fade frowned and asked, "Who are you? Is something the matter?"

The young man glanced at Fade and ignored him. He looked straight at Joey and forced a smile. He addressed, "Miss Joey, my name is Ladarius Szeto. I would like to invite you to dinner."

"Ladarius Szeto?" Joey repeated the name, and the sound of it did not ring any bells for her. Then she replied coldly, "Thanks for your kind offer, but as you can see, I am already eating. There's no need to invite me to dinner.."

Upon hearing this, Ladarius did not leave. He stared at the dishes on the table and said with disdain, "Miss Joey is extremely gorgeous! She is like an angel descending from heaven. It's a low-blow for you to be treated to such shabby food."

"I specially requested for the head chef of the hotel to prepare a feast. So, I would like to invite Mis Joey to dine with me." Ladarius extended yet another invitation.

Hearing this, Joey grew a little unhappy and impatient. She frowned slightly and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know you, and there’s no reason for you to invite me to dinner. Also, I don't think this meal is shabby."

Hearing this, Ladarius paused for a moment and then explained, "I think you still don't get it, Miss Chen. Let me briefly introduce myself. I'm a student of Szeto Academy in the western suburbs of the Capital City. I came to the Capital City a week ago and heard of your name, so I came here today to invite you to have dinner with me. I hope Miss Chen can grant me the honor of accepting my invitation."

"Szeto Academy!" Hearing this name, Joey's expression changed slightly, but she immediately rejected Ladarius coldly. "Regardless of where you came from, I'm not interested.."

After saying that, Joey took a piece of meat and handed it to Fade intimately. She smiled and said, "Fade, this meat is delicious. Have some."

Fade opened his mouth and ate the meat. He chewed it and smiled, "Yes, it sure is good."

Seeing the two being so intimate, Ladarius's expression turned grim. He looked at Fade and said in a deep voice, "You, scram!"

Fade lowered his dining utensils, looked up at

"But Joey, this Ladarius seems quite powerful! On the other hand, Fade, he..." Yankee replied worriedly.

Joey remained relaxed. She even added jokingly, "Yankee, you care so much about Fade's safety. Have you fallen for him? Would you like me to play matchmaker for the two of you?"

"Joey, please make sense of the situation! How can you still be in the mood to joke? This is a serious!" Yankee replied worriedly.

"Don't worry, nothing bad can possibly come of it." Joey smiled and calmed Yankee down. Then, she continued to enjoy her meal.

Fade looked at Ladarius and said placidly, "Are you positive that you want to raise a hand against me?"

Ladarius said arrogantly, “Conman, do you want to surrender now, or do you want me to expose your fake stories later?"

As he spoke, Ladarius clenched his fists so tightly that the crackling of his knuckles were as loud as fireworks. The corners of his mouth curled into a devious sneer.

Fade shook his head lightly and replied coldly, "Today is my first day in Capital City. It's not often that I get to dine with my sister, and yet you have shown up to put a damper on our mood. What a killjoy."

"For the simple act of ruining my mood, you must face punishment." Fade's eyes narrowed as he looked at Ladarius.

Ladarius was shocked at Fade's abrupt change in expression, but he came to his senses and asked coldly, "Punishment? I'd like to see what exactly you have in mind for me."
