Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 1157

Fade smiled upon hearing Momo's words and responded, "It's all right, it's just a painting."

"But, Fade, this is worth more than 200 million yuan! It's really too valuable, I..." Momo still couldn't let go of the fact that the painting was worth so many.

Fade smiled and stroked her head. Then, he asked, "Isn't it just right that I can please your grandpa with such an exorbitant gift? Later, he'll be able to allow me to marry a beauty like you!" When Fade brought this up, Momo couldn't help but blush. She glanced at him and snorted, "Fade, you're making fun of me again. Hmph, I'll remember this and tell Quin later."

Fade burst out laughing in an instant. He was almost used to Momo threatening him by threatening to tell on him to Quin, thus it was no surprise for him anymore.

They chatted all the way and soon reached the entrance gate of the Soo Manor.

The Soo family was a well-known and powerful family in South Bay City. It had a long history of more than one hundred years and a profound cultural background.

Soo Manor was built near the lake on the Second Ring Road of South Bay City. The manor was built on the lakeside, boasting a strategic location and stunning scenery. It was renowned as a treasured geomantic omen in the city.

The Soo Manor's architectural style resembled that of a Chinese garden - it was exquisite and elegant. Every step they took would take them to different scenery, looking like a hidden gem in the bustling city. It was quite an eye-opener to Fade.

"Momo, your house is so beautiful. It's even more beautiful than those 5-star scenery spots!" Fade praised with a look of amazement plastered on his face.

Seeing that Fade liked it, Memo's face was full of smiles too. She chimed, "Fade, you can stay at my house a little longer if you like it. Which part of the manor do you want to stay in? I will arrange it for you." While they were chatting, the servants greeted them excitedly, "Miss Momo, you're back!"

Momo looked at the elder who'd greeted her, Pearson Wang, and responded with a smile, "C'mon, Pearson, you don't have to be so courteous to me. Could you please tell Grandpa that I'm back and that I brought... a friend with me?"

With that, Momo glanced at Fade.

When Pearson saw this, a slight surprise flashed in his gaze. Then, he cupped his hand before his chest, turned around and went in to make a report.

Fade sighed softly when he saw this. "As expected of a century-old well-known and powerful family. The people here are so well-mannered!" He sighed thoughtfully.

Upon hearing this, Momo was vaguely aware of the different tone in Fade's words. Thus, she explained, "Our Soo family has been a family of scholars for generations. In the new era, we transformed the family model into a business model gradually. However, the tradition of scholars is still retained in the family, so they pay more attention to manners."

"That's especially true for my uncle, Somoset Soo. What he values most is manners. Therefore, he may be a bit stubborn in dealing with problems. Fade, I'm sorry in advance since you have to endure him for a while if you are not used to his antics," Momo said as she looked at Fade with some anxiety.

Fade smiled and stroked Momo's head. He replied with a smile, "Don't worry about that, I was just amazed a while ago. Besides, since I've already come with you, I've mentally prepared myself since a while ago. It's okay, don't worry!"

"Okay!" Momo nodded with a smile on her face.

Just then, they heard a somewhat shrill female voice calling out, "Momo, look at you, flirting with a man in the crowd. It seems that you had a great time outside!"

Hearing the voice, Fade and Momo were stunned. They looked towards the source of the voice.

Fade noticed a young woman about twenty-four to twenty-five years old with long hair, wearing a modified cheongsam.

This cheongsam was designed with an elegant ancient charm in mind. However, the woman looked exceptionally disdainful and unkind at this moment, tainting the initially elegance of the cheongsam. "Momo, who is she?" Fade frowned upon seeing this and asked her immediately.

Memo's face fell. She explained to Fade in a low voice quickly, "This is my cousin, Yuki Soo. Her father married into the Soo family and has lived with us, so she is not considered as the direct descendant of the Soo family."

"Due to her family status, she hasn't had a good relationship with me since she was a child. And now, she's become like this..." "I see," Fade nodded. Then, he looked at Yuki and asked calmly, "Miss Yuki, right? Let me introduce myself. My name is Fade Chen, and I'm Memo's boyfriend. Since we are lovers, it's normal for us to be intimate with each other. Miss Yuki, it's not like you can control us, am I right?"

Yuki couldn't help feeling a little surprised when she heard this. After all, she didn't expect that this outsider would dare to pick a fight with her.

Her face fell in an instant. Then, she gave a cold snort. With a mocking smile forming at the corners of her mouth, she asked, "Boyfriend? I don't think that you're aware that Momo is already engaged to Hector Yao, the young master of the great and powerful Yao family in South Bay City. I really wonder how did you, the so-called boyfriend, appear out of nowhere? Or, is it because Momo didn't clarify it to you at all?" Speaking of the engagement, Momo couldn't help but clench her fist in frustration.

Fade held Momo's hand gently, pinched it hard and then said to her, "Momo, don't worry, I'm here." After that, he looked at Yuki immediately and raised his head to declare confidently, "I know of the engagement and that Hector Yao of whom you mentioned. However, I can guarantee that none of this will happen. I'm Momo's boyfriend, and the one who will be with her will definitely be me."

Hearing this, Yuki was taken aback for a moment before laughing out loud. She looked at Fade strangely as if she was looking at a fool and asked, "You said you will guarantee that the engagement won't happen. Haha! Who do you think you are?"

"It was the elders of the Soo family and Yao family who made the engagement between Momo and Hector. Do you think it will not happen just because you say it won't? Who do you think you are? A big shot?" Fade replied blandly, "It doesn't matter if I am a big shot, but what I can guarantee is that this engagement will definitely not take place."

"Haha, you're full of nonsense," Yuki shook her head, feeling that she couldn't communicate with Fade anymore. She turned to Momo straight away and asked her in a mocking tone, "Momo, is the so-called boyfriend you are seeing such a psycho who brags a lot? Do you think such a man can make Uncle and Grandpa change their minds?"

When it came to this, Momo's expression changed a little. However, she still answered firmly, "That's my business, you don't have to worry about it."

After speaking, she took Fade by the hand and strode towards the interior of Soo Manor.

Yuki was watching from behind with a flickering gaze. Finally, she let out a cold snort and followed them in.

When they arrived in the hall, Fade saw a lot of people sitting there just as he stepped in. Obviously, the Soo family still valued Memo's marriage very seriously.

As the two of them entered, the gaze of everyone in the manor was all focused on them at once.

These gazes were like sharp swords, piercing them ferociously in an oppressive manner. Momo was stunned by this for a while. She stood still and didn't know what to say for a while.
