The mature and charming image made Fade narrow his eyes.
Then, he took the initiative to move forward and poured Mindy a cup of tea. He said, "Of course that's not what I meant. Sister Mindy, you're stunning. I've been looking forward to it!"
"Alright, there is no need for you to compliment me. You already have such a beauty like Quin. I am just an old lady, how could I be attractive." Mindy smiled and said.
Such a charming look caused Fade's heart to skip a beat. Swallowing his drool, he asked, "Sister Mindy, why are you here today?"
Mindy smiled gently and said, "I won't waste any time on formalities with you. I came here today to see if you are free. I have a favor to ask from you. Moreover, I'm here to visit you. After all, I haven't seen you in a long time."
Hearing that, Fade smiled and teased, "Sister Mindy, so you just visit me out of convenience!"
"Yes, what's the matter? If you're not happy, then I'll leave." Mindy said with a smile as she faked her departure.
Fade smiled as he said, "Sister Mindy, it's a great thing that you came to see me. How could I let you leave!"
"By the way, Sister Mindy, how could I help you?" Fade questioned.
Mindy was always serious when getting down to business, "Well, Fish's school is going to have a prom. Parents will have to perform and help with the rehearsals. But there are some errands that require two parents to do together, so I can't perform it alone. So, I wanted to ask you if you have some spare time to help me out."
Fade patted his chest and said, "Sister Mindy, anything relates to you and Fish is my problem. Even if my schedule is packed, I will try to find time for you."
"Well, thank you. Fish will definitely be very exhilarated to know you will be coming." Mindy smiled as she informed Fade of the time and location.
After Fade wrote it down, he made sure that he would be available to attend.
After that, they updated each other on their lives. Then, Mindy left.
Two days later, Fade specially put on a mature business suit. After he had dressed up, he drove to the place of his appointment with Mindy.
Mindy arrived in advance. Seeing Fade in such a new look, she said, "You look handsome today!"
Fade smiled and said, "Sister Mindy, don't I look handsome always?"
"You're always handsome but today you're more handsome!" Mindy laughed and then got in Fade's car.
Fade started the car whereas Mindy showed the direction in the passenger seat. Then, she introduced, "Fish and the others will be rehearsing in the school. Parents will firstly gather outside the school and then we will only be allowed to enter the school under their arrangement. Let's start our mission."
"Well, I'd like to see your performance, Sister Mindy!" Fade smiled and said.
"Then, you'd better help me with my rehearsal!" Mindy said with a smile.
Fade said, "I'll do my best."
They chatted and laughed throughout the journey. Soon, they arrived at the school gate.
"Oh!" Madam Huang nodded and then went over to the other side to chat with the other parents.
Fade had just arrived and looked at Mindy, who was holding his arm intimately. He could not help but ask, "Sister Mindy, what's going on?"
Mindy sighed softly and said, "During that parentteacher meeting last time, I casually told Madam Huang that I'm a single mother. However, she took it seriously and wanted to introduce me to someone. I couldn't refuse her directly, so I asked you for help."
"Sister Mindy, so you want me to pretend to be your boyfriend!" Fade laughed.
"What? are you reluctant to do that?" Mindy looked at Fade.
Fade smiled and said, "I've always dreamt of becoming a boyfriend to such a beautiful woman like Sister Mindy. Of course, I would love to! But..."
"But what?" Seeing Fade was hesitant, Mindy became slightly nervous.
Fade smiled and said, "It's just that Fish addresses me as Brother Superman. If I was your boyfriend, what should Fish call me?"
Mindy was stunned and rolled her eyes at Fade. She loosened his arm and said, "If Fish calls you brother, and you call me sister, then does it not mean I'm Fish's sister?"
"Haha, that's true. But Sister Mindy, you're still so young. It's not impossible for you to be Fish's sister!" Fade laughed.
Mindy also smiled, "You're glib- tongued. It's entertaining. Alright, the other parents went in already. We should go."
