Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 1726

As she patted her head, Annie looked at Quin with a smirk and said, "Are you that shameless? I've made myself clear, yet you' re still feigning innocence. You're such a shameless b*tch." "Miss Zhou, you..." Quin's face darkened as she did not expect Annie to curse her so viciously.

Fade did not maintain his composure. He stood up and slapped Annie across her face. In an instant, her cheek turned red and swollen.

"How dare you slap me? You..." Annie glowered at him furiously.

He said coldly, "One more cuss and I'll kill you instead of just slapping you."

"How dare you? Get rid of him!" Infuriated, she commanded the bodyguards to beat him up.

Before the bodyguards could make their move, Fade took a step forward swiftly and punched out twice, causing them to fall to the ground. Groaning with pain, they were not able to stand up. Annie did not quite expect that her bodyguards, who had cost her a fortune to hire, would be brought down so easily. Visibly taken aback, she retreated two steps backwards and her face darkened. Fade gave her a cold stare and warned, "Heed the warning. Otherwise, the next one to fall will be you, not your bodyguards."

Annie was too terrified to utter a single word.

At this moment, Quin took a step forward and looked at her, "Miss Zhou, I don't know what led to this misunderstanding. However, I can assure you that I'm here to send my well wishes to Old Master Zhou." "Haha!" Annie snorted in disbelief. "Hiding under a pretense, huh? Let me make it clear. It's impossible for my brother to enter into a marriage alliance with you. If you intend to cause a mess to the marriage between the Zhou family and the Tao family, you're asking for trouble."

She sounded threatening, and her index finger was close to Quin's face as she gave her the warning.

Fade walked a step forward and gripped Annie's index finger. He cautioned, "Come any closer and your hand will be broken."

His bloodthirsty demeanor sent chills down Annie's spine, causing her to shiver. As much as she was reluctant, she retreated resentfully.

"Never forget what you've just said." As she uttered these words, Annie got into her car and left, leaving her bodyguards there.

No longer in the mood to eat, and having lost their

appetite, Fade and Quin returned to the hotel.

"Honey, what's with the marriage alliance that Annie mentioned? What happened?" As he thought about it, he revealed the question in his heart.

After jogging her memory, she replied, "If she did not bring that up, I would've forgotten about it. I was twelve then. My dad had just returned from the Zhou family's home and told my mom about that." "He told us that he had just gone for a drink at their home in East Stream City. He stumbled upon Old Master Zhou's grandson and had proposed a prearranged marriage between me and him."

"As they were tipsy then, they were merely joking around and did not discuss the pre- arranged marriage in earnest. In the years that followed, there was no mention of it. After my father's death, I haven't even paid them a visit, much less taken this matter to heart."

Fade nodded after understanding what happened. He postulated, "Judging from what Annie said, Soren is going to be engaged soon. Now that he's going to tie the knot, the Zhou family assumes that you're here because they did not honor the prearranged marriage that has been proposed. Annie is worried that you'll ruin the engagement, hence coming over to warn you."

Quin nodded in agreement, "I thought so too. This is a misunderstanding. It shouldn't be so much of an issue as long as we make our intention clear."

Still feeling disgruntled, Fade snorted and said, "If s a misunderstanding, but only because the Zhou family thinks too highly of themselves. We're here to send our well wishes to Old Master Zhou. Never have we brought up any issues related to the prearranged marriage. It's supercilious of them to see us as social climbers. That's ridiculous."

He proclaimed, "Other than me, no other man in the world is deemed fit to be your husband. Not even Loren Chou."

She rolled her eyes and bopped him. She said, "Stop teasing me. Anyway, it's no big deal. Once the birthday party is over, well leave. They'll realize it's just a misunderstanding after all." They did not take this matter to heart. However, at this point in time, Soren was talking about it with his friends.

Clad in only his undergarments, Soren could be seen leaning against a chair in a well-known luxury spa in East Stream City. Squatting down before him, a young woman was giving him a massage attentively. There were several young men by his side. Clad in a similar fashion like Soren, they were scions from

East Stream City.

"Buddy, you' re a lucky man," said Daxton Xu, a chubby young man sitting beside him. "Though you aren't exactly a go-getter, Lady Luck seems to always be on your side! Not only did you manage to court Eudora, but now, another girl from some faraway land is pursuing you."

Soren rolled his eyes at him and said, "Daxton, stop adding insult to my injury."

"Oh well, you know, that Eudora is tall and mighty. She's more masculine than me. I feel no romantic passion towards her. If it wasn't for my family who insisted on me marrying her, I wouldn't have agreed to tie the knot with such an unattractive girl."

"That girl from Bay City, let's not talk about her. Coming all the way from Bay City to send her well wishes? Well, how wretched can she get? I bet that status seeker is here because of Zhou's family background. Naha!"

Next to him, a bespectacled guy named Ford Han, concurred, "Buddy, you're right. The Taos are an illustrious family, but honestly, Eudora is such a plain-looking girl. I think you'd better turn off the lights when you sleep."

"Soren won't be able to be as carefree as he used to be. That b*tch is like a tigress and a martial artist from a true-blue sect. If Soren dares to mess around with other girls, I'm afraid he'll be castrated by her." "Haha, indeed."

"Soren, you sure have a lot of hurdles to deal with."

"Buddy, you've got two more days to enjoy. Treasure every bit of it. How about ordering a few extra bottles? Let's have a good time."

As his friends were gloating and reveling in his misery, Soren felt even more depressed.

At this moment, his phone beeped. It was a message from his sister, Annie. She said she had met Quin but unfortunately she was slapped.

The moment he read the message, he got angrier.

As he looked at a photo sent by Annie, his anger dissipated in a split second. His eyes lit up and were glued to the screen as he stared at the photo. "Hey buddy, what are you looking at?" Daxton could not help but ask.

Ford and the rest came over and said, "We're brothers. Share with us if you come across something good!"

Soren showed his cell phone to everyone. On the screen, a zoomed-in photo could be seen.
