Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 2003

Upon hearing the news, Fade couldn't help but feel shocked.

Firstly, after what had happened at the hotel that day, Tarlo didn't make any more moves, hence Fade hadn't given the Long family much thought. Ultimately, he forgot about the Long Dragon Banquet.

Secondly, he could not understand why Joey wanted to go to the Long family. She did not like Tarlo. Why would she go to the Long family's banquet? It was too strange.

Since he couldn't figure it out, he didn't think too much about it and drove directly to the Long family.

Along the way, he made a phone call to Moore to tell him about the clues that he received. Moore also then immediately drove directly to the Long family.

As Sunday evenings were usually peak hours, Fade wasted half an hour in traffic congestion before reaching the northern part of the city. Upon reaching, the area and the sky were already mostly dark. Street lamps were lit.

Usually, on the road leading to the wealthy area in the northern part of the city, there weren't many cars. However, at that moment, the spacious road was full of cars.

Moreover, almost all of these cars were driving in the same direction. There were numerous kinds of luxury cars which were dazzling to see.

"Is this the strength of the Long family? The Long Dragon Banquet has quite an effect," Fade thought to himself.

After about a quarter of an hour, the cars barely moved a few hundred meters on the road. Fade started to get anxious as he couldn't wait any longer. Hence, he parked his car by the side of the road and started running towards the Long family's house.

Along the stretch of luxury cars, the people sitting in the cars immediately started chattering upon seeing the scene.

"That guy is really impatient. He even got out of the car!"

"That youngster is too impatient. Running towards the banquet in such a rush. The Long family might not let him in."

Ignoring the sarcasm of passers-by, Fade moved forward quickly like the wind.

A quarter of an hour later, a huge mansion appeared in front of him. It was an antique wooden building, decorated with railings and painted pillars, as well as all kinds of pavilions and rockery. The scenery was picturesque, like a royal garden in an ancient painting.

At the gate of the manor, there was a huge black sandalwood plaque hanging from the towering building. On the plaque, there were two gold-stamped words, "Long Mansion".

At this moment, guests were entering the Long Mansion entrance in an endless stream. Amongst these guests, there were plenty of on-screen celebrities.

Fade didn't have an invitation so without a doubt, he could not enter. However, this wasn't something he couldn't overcome. After circling the Long Mansion, he found a blind spot that was unnoticed by security. He jumped lightly and leaped over the fence into the Long Mansion.

The Long Mansion was brightly lit that day, and the guests were all present. It was exceptionally lively.

This kind of atmosphere made it more convenient for Fade to sneak in. Under the cover of darkness, he shuttled back and forth in the Long Mansion, looking for Joey.

However, the size of the mansion was too large and there were too many rooms. Fade spent nearly an hour looking through dozens of rooms, but he did not find any trace of Joey.

"I can't go on like this." He frowned and thought about what to do next.

At this time, he heard the sound of fireworks exploding in the air, followed by cheering.

Immediately, he turned his gaze over and recognized that it was the living room of the Long Mansion. It was also the place where the Long family's Long Dragon Banquet was mainly held.

"Joey coming to the Long family must be related to the Long Dragon Banquet. Thus, she must be at the banquet."

Thinking of this, he did not look around but walked directly toward the living room.

When he arrived at the living room, he suddenly felt a wave of heat. More than a hundred people were crowded together in the large living room. Men and women in formal wear greeted each other, and the scene was very lively.

Looking around, he saw a few familiar faces. They were all important figures from Capital City.

Fade squeezed into the crowd, looking around for Joey, but there was no sign of her.

After another 15 minutes or so, a clear ring of bells rang throughout the room and the chaotic scene quieted down. A butler stepped out and said in a clear voice, "Thank you all for coming to the Long Mansion this evening for the Long Dragon Banquet. Now, the banquet will officially begin."

All of a sudden, there was a burst of applause.

Then, a middle-aged couple walked out. They were dressed in custom-made traditional clothes, with all kinds of decorations hanging on them. There was also a mouse tail braid behind them, which made them look ancient and eye-catching.

Fade, who had squeezed into the crowd, saw the clothes and whispered in his heart, "It is said that the Long family is the successor of the previous dynasty's royal family. Looking at these clothes, it must be true."

"This couple must be Tarlo's parents, Hamilton Long and Mathilda Zhou."

Soon, the introductions verified Fade's conjecture.

After a brief introduction, Hamilton said to the crowd, "Today, let me introduce to you, the new Crown Prince of the Long family, my son, Tarlo Long."

All of a sudden, the applause burst out like thunder. Everyone's eyes turned towards him.

With everybody looking, Tarlo also walked out in an ancient costume from the previous dynasty with a smile on his face.

"Thank you all for coming..." Tarlo said a casual word of gratitude, but the guests, especially some young women, looked at him with burning eyes.

Fade even felt that several women around him almost couldn't help pouncing onto Tarlo.

This was the power of the status of the Crown Prince, which made these daughters of rich families, who usually stood high above the masses, look extremely smitten at that moment. When Tarlo finished his speech, there was a burst of applause from below.

Next came some gifts and congratulations from the guests, which was an opportunity for them to connect with the Long family in public. Immediately, all the big families spoke up. After this scene, the atmosphere became even more enthusiastic.

Many women had begun to look forward to the next free dance. That was an opportunity for them to spend some time with Tarlo and leave a good impression on him.

However, just as these women were ready to make their move, Hamilton suddenly said, "Today, in addition to announcing the new crown prince of the Long family, there is another important thing that I want to announce to all of you."

Upon hearing this, everyone's interest was aroused. They moved their eyes and looked over with expectation in their eyes. They wanted to know what this upcoming announcement was about. Looking at the eyes on him, Tarlo's gaze swept through the crowd. Then he smiled and said slowly, "Today, allow me to introduce my fiancee and soon-to-be wife to everyone."
