Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen) novel Chapter 8

When Quin woke up the next morning, with somehow swollen eyes, she found that Fade's room downstairs was empty.

Quin's heart sank and her face darkened.

"Did Fade stay out last night? Or was it because he was hurt by me? Did he leave and would never return anymore?"

Just at that moment, Housekeeper Wong came out with breakfast, "Miss, are you looking for Sir?"

T m not..." Quin instinctively denied, but thinking of what happened yesterday, she nodded again and uttered quietly, "Has he not come back all night?"

Housekeeper Wong replied, "No, sir did come back yesterday. He just went to work."

"Work?" Quin was slightly startled, “Why did he leave so early?".

Housekeeper Wong looked at Quin and told her, "Sir said he didn't know the route, so he went out early to take the bus."

"Ah-" Quin suddenly realized she went home alone yesterday, leaving Fade who was not familiar with this place behind. For a moment,

Quin was a little absent-minded and felt that she had once again hurt Fade.

Housekeeper Wong noticed Quin's sadness. She smiled and said, "Miss, are you worried about Sir? I don't think you have anything to worry about. After he came back last night, when he heard that you had cooked for him, he finished up all the dishes. I didn't even have time to heat them up."

"Ah, all of them?" Quin was a little surprised.

Housekeeper Wong nodded and said, "Yes, all of them. Sir even said that they were delicious!"

For some reason, Quin let out a smile and felt better. She then said to Housekeeper Wong, "Housekeeper Wong, prepare one more bowl of salad. I have a good appetite today."

"Yes, Miss," Housekeeper Wong replied.

After breakfast, Quin drove to the company. Sitting in the office, things related to Fade were constantly running in her mind. Arguments which had happened in the company, Fade's disappointment, and the home-cooked meal last night.

The overwhelming feelings caused Quin to be unable to pay much attention to work, which rarely happened.

Picking up the phone, Quin told the secretary outside, "Ask Doctor Chen from the medical room to come here.".

In the medical room, Fade, who had received a call from the president's office asking him to go over, was a little anxious. Fade didn't know what Quin wanted.

Will she criticize him out of distrust like last afternoon, or prepare dinner for him as she had done the night before.

Walking towards the office, Fade knocked on the door and was ready to go in.

Right at this moment, a phone rang in the office. Quin took out her phone and picked up the phone.

Fade, who had just pushed the door open, saw this and stopped in his track; he was hesitating whether he should go in.

Quin was thinking of how to apologize to Fade euphemistically. However, this sudden phone call destroyed all the thoughts she had.

The caller ID showed that the call was from Jeremy Lin, Quin's very own elder brother.

With a gloomy face, Quin answered the call, "Why did you call me?"

"My good sister, don't you know the reason?" A frivolous voice answered from the other end.

Quin responded coldly, "If you want to talk about the engagement, then there’s no need for this conversation. I will not agree to it."

Right then, the secretary came in and asked, "President Lin, Mr. Chen just came, but as you were busy just now, he decided to go back to work first. Do you need me to call him up again?"

Quin gently caressed her cheek, shook her head, and said, "No, it's fine. I'm not looking for him at the moment."

Fade, who just came down from the office, frowned and thought for a moment. Suddenly, something crossed his mind. Fade rushed to Xenia's place. Fade held Xenia's shoulders, looked deep into her eyes, and said, "Xenia, I have something to say to you!"

"Ah!" Xenia was surprised by Fade's sudden action. Xenia couldn't help but stutter and breath heavily from Fade's strong gaze, "Fade, what, what did you want to tell me?"

Fade stared into Xenia's eyes and said, "Xenia, I, I want to treat you to a meal after work."

"Treat me to dinner?" Xenia's heart was beating fast and her face turned red, "Fade, why, why would you treat me to dinner?"

"I hope you could do me a favor." Fade looked at Xenia and said, "After work, could you please accompany me to the shopping mall."

"Ah, you want me to accompany you to buy something," Xenia didn't know how to feel for a moment. She was surprised, disappointed, and even a little angry.

"Xenia, are you not free later?" Fade asked.

"No, no, I have nothing else to do tonight," Xenia replied.

At 5:30 in the evening, Fade and Xenia left the company and boarded a bus together.

Quin who was standing by the window in the president's office on the top floor saw the sight of them leaving.

"So, you like this kind of woman?" Somehow, Quin felt a jolt of pain in her heart, "Sure, compared to me, Xenia is young and lovely, and she’s much more womanly. It's normal for you to make such a choice."
