Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 1108

Upon hearing this, Fade reached out and patted Momo on the arm, casting her a comforting look.

After that, Fade asked aloud, "Do you people want to rest up in the hotel first or have something to eat at a restaurant before that?"

Momo turned back from the passenger seat, casting a questioning glance at her 'friends'.

Sonia smiled and replied, "South Bay City is very close to Jade City, and we haven't been flying for long. We could do with something to eat first. We're not feeling very tired."

Momo nodded at that and turned back around.

Harper on the other hand, decided that it was time to boast, "We took first class seats here you know, so it was a really restful flight! Of course, I know some normal folk wouldn't be able to understand that, especially people who drive cheap cars..."

When Momo heard this, her face puffed up with anger and she was ready to yell at him again.

However, Fade gave her another comforting pat on her arm and shook his head.

After that, he merely continued to drive. The tension in the car was palpable and

uncomfortable.

Momo and Harper couldn't see eye to eye, whereas Abell remained silent the entire time, taking no one into account. Sonia tried to ease the situation with smiles and light conversation.

However, the way she spoke sounded faintly arrogant and condescending.

Eventually, they arrived at the entrance of a two-star Michelin restaurant. Once the car was parked, everyone got out of it as fast as they could to escape the tense atmosphere.

Harper looked up at the restaurant, spared a quick glance at Fade again, and began to taunt, "Oh, a Michelin two- star restaurant? Not bad. I think someone might be trying to impress us now. I doubt they can afford it..."

When Fade saw that Memo's expression darkened at that, he hurriedly grabbed her by the arm to stop her from acting out, "Momo, it's okay."

"But Fade, my cousin, he's..." Momo lamented, feeling a little helpless.

Fade's eyes gleamed a little at that and continued, "It's okay. I don't care about petty things like that. Besides, you know that I'm not short of money..." "All I have to do is show off how rich I am to shut him up, right? That can be easily arranged. Since Harper likes to brag about his wealth so much, I'll show him just what I'm made of." Fade smiled.

"Fade, are you..." Momo's eyes lit up in excitement at that.

He smiled and said, "Don't get too excited now, I'm not telling you what I'm planning to do. Just sit back and watch. Come on, let's go in."

When they stepped into the restaurant, Fade waved a waiter over to them, "We'll need a table for five. Please arrange one for us."

"Yes, Mr. Chen. Follow me," the waiter then led them to a round table on the left side of the hall and sat down.

They began to look through the menu and ordered.

While they waited for the food, Harper couldn't help himself from glancing around the space, listening in on the discussions taking place in the restaurant. He frowned a little and spoke up, "For a two-star Michelin restaurant, this is relatively okay, but the environment feels a little off, doesn't it? Are there no private rooms here? If someone's not able to pay for a private room, just admit to it. We can always pay fo it ourselves..."

"After all, we're not short of money. I'd like to enjoy my time here as much as I can."

When Momo heard his remarks, her cheeks puffed up in anger.

Fade looked at Harper and replied with a faint smile, "Young Master Harper, you rarely frequent Jade City so maybe you might not know that private rooms aren't available here."

As soon as he said that, Harper's face darkened. Fade had indirectly insulted his knowledge! He would not stand for it.

Harper flushed angrily and forced out, "Well, it must just be a matter of money! They must have private rooms somewhere in this restaurant! Once I offer them the money, I'm sure they'll open one up for us." Fade let out a little chuckle at that and said, "You know, the reservations for this restaurant have to be made three months in advance. Many well-known celebrities and entrepreneurs from Jade City come here to eat. I really don't think throwing money around like that will get you anywhere."

Fade's tone remained indifferent as he spoke. However, this had sparked Sonia's interest. Since he had just mentioned that this kind of restaurant required a reservation three months in advance, it was obviously impossible for Fade to make an appointment beforehand as they had made last-minute plans to come to Jade City as a group just a week ago.

Yet, Fade had been able to get them inside and got them a table as well. Didn't this mean that

Fade was not an ordinary individual? He didn't even need to make any reservations that were required by celebrities!

At that thought, Sonia couldn't help but flash a smile at Fade and said, "Well, thank you for the privilege, Mr. Chen."

However, Harper couldn't tempt down the embarrassment he felt at that moment and did not pay much mind to the implications of the situation. In a fit of rage, he continued on grumpily, "Well, if there isn't a private room present, why not just book this entire restaurant? It's not a big deal, is it? As long as one has the money to do so, I'm sure that can be arranged."

Fade let out another laugh when he heard him. Taking a sip from the glass of water, he said lightly, "You're right. I guess that just didn't cross my mind."

"I heard that the last person who booked this whole restaurant was Fenrir Li just two years ago and he did it last minute as well! It didn't really cost much, about ten million if I'm not mistaken." After that, Fade turned to stare at Harper.

"Ten million isn't..." Harper's face flushed at the gaze as he tried to get his words out.

Even though he was second in line in the Soo family and was constantly spoiled by Lyla, it was highly unlikely that he would pay ten million just for a meal.

Just when Harper was contemplating ways of getting out of this situation, Momo took this opportunity to add fuel to the fire and scoffed out, "Harper, if I remembered correctly, Grandpa asked Aunt Lyla to reduce your pocket money, right? You're only getting three hundred thousand per month at most at this point. Booking this whole restaurant would cost ten million. Do you even have that much money on you?" "I..." Harper stuttered, unable to speak after that.

Fortunately, a waiter arrived at this time to serve their dishes. This gave Harper a chance to alleviate his embarrassment. He hurriedly changed the subject, "Hey look, the food's here. Let's eat." "The food here sure is expensive, isn't it? But that doesn't mean it'll taste good. After all, not all expensive restaurants can make food that tastes as good as the street stalls," Harper started to taunt. Fade merely ignored him and smiled faintly.

Eventually, everyone started to dig in. The food they had been served was undeniably excellent. It was indeed what was expected of a two-star Michelin restaurant.

Even the children of rich families like Momo and Sonia who had eaten a lot of food from high-end restaurants could not help but appraise the dishes after a few bites.

However, Harper decided to spoil the mood in the middle of it all.

He put down his cutlery with a frown and beckoned for the waiter.

The waiter rushed over to him quickly and answered respectfully, "Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

Harper frowned at him and replied, "How did you cook this steak? Is this the standard of a two-star Michelin restaurant?"

"I'm sorry, Sir. If you're dissatisfied with the food, we can definitely have it replaced for you," the waiter offered.

Harper waved his hand dismissively and sounded displeased as he berated, "Replace?! Do you think such a matter can be solved with a mere replacement? Have the chef come over here. I want to know how a person with culinary skills this poor has gained a foothold in a two-star Michelin restaurant!"
