Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen) -
Chapter 2270
After the group registration, Fade then realized that this group was actually a "low price jadescouring group".
The reason was that Pagodaland was famous for their jade stones and jade wares. The price was also much cheaper compared to the prices in their home country. Thus, many wealthy middle-aged men and women wanted to take this opportunity to enter the country. They would purchase the stones and wares, and then resell them after they returned to make a buck or two.
On top of that, the cost for this kind of group was not high. The overall price for the trip for three days, including food and accommodation, was only 500 yuan. This attracted many people to join in naturally. The vehicle drove on for three hours and they reached a rest stop. The tour guide had already arranged for a break and meals for them.
The rest area was a two-story building. The dining area was set up with big round tables where a few could sit together.
Fade found a table in the corner, sat down, and closed his eyes to rest.
"Hello, may I ask if we can sit here?" Suddenly, a soft female voice asked.
Fade opened his eyes and found two young girls in their twenties standing in front of him.
There was a girl with short hair. She wore a pair of shorts that exposed her thighs, and also a pair of sunglasses. She looked quite energetic.
The other girl next to the short-haired girl had long and soft hair. She was wearing a plain dress. There was a smile on the corner of her lips, which made her seem gentle.
"Did we leave you speechless?" The short-haired girl knocked on the table as she spoke to him.
Only then did Fade come to his senses. He answered, "There's no one sitting here. Please have a seat."
He looked up at the two girls once again.
If he was being honest, both of their appearances were decent, and could even be considered beautiful. The long-haired girl in particular, with her oval face and gentle and pleasant smile was the kind who was able to capture the hearts of many men as her appearance made them want to protect her.
However, their beauty still could not compare to Quin, his wife, and the other attractive women around him. Hence, after he nodded slightly, he turned away.
The short-haired girl seemed to misunderstand his actions though. After she took her seat, she chuckled, "Look, Rachel, your beauty really had him being shy. He doesn't dare to look at you anymore." "Hazel, stop with your nonsense." The long-haired girl glared at the short-haired girl.
She then quickly apologized to Fade, "I'm sorry. Hazel is just joking. Please don't mind her."
Fade waved his hand and said, "It's okay. No harm done."
He wanted to continue with his rest.
However, the short-haired girl named Hazel was a chatterbox and took the initiative to start a conversation with him. "Are you also part of this travel group? I'm a little surprised to see a young man joining this kind of travel group!"
"Yes!" He nodded. He then glanced at the both of them and responded, "You two are also young people, right? Thus, there's nothing strange about it!"
Hazel continued on, "Rachel and I are art students doing jewelry design. We are going to Mancho City for a field trip. What about you?"
"I have some errands to run." He did not delve into any details.
"What kind of errands? What do you do?" Hazel asked.
His brows furrowed a little. He didn't want to continue this conversation.
Rachel noticed Fade's expression and tugged on Hazel's top gently. She then said, "I apologize, we were being nosy."
"By the way, we haven't introduced ourselves! My name is Rachel Chan and I'm a third year undergraduate student of Haris Art School." The long-haired girl introduced.
Her friend also followed up with the introduction. "My name is Hazel Cheu. I'm Rachel's classmate."
"My name is Fade!" He mentioned his name but did not continue.
Hazel pouted slightly when she saw this and said Fade, are you always that unfriendly? Or are you pretending to give Rachel the cold shoulder so that you could attract this beautiful girl's attention? + have to say, this method is like one of the oldest tricks in the book. It's useless. Our Rachel here..."
"Hazel, stop." Rachel covered Hazel's mouth in a hurry and then gave Fade an apologetic look.
Thank goodness the food finally arrived. That eased some of the awkwardness between the three of them.
Fade picked up the food immediately and began to eat. The two girls, on the other hand, had a weird expression when they saw the food.
Previously, the tour guide mentioned that there would be a luxurious meal. The luxurious meal now turned out to be a plate of boiled cabbage, a plate of braised pork with radish, and a big bowl of seaweed soup with some drops of oil.
"Why does the food look so sad? This is not a luxurious meal! I am going to call the tour guide over..." Hazel put down her chopsticks as she grumbled.
Rachel stopped her and said in a low voice, "Hazel, forget it. We are in a low priced group, so this kind of food is expected. Besides, the other uncles and aunties don't have any objections, so we shouldn't say anything."
"But still, the food is really bad!" Hazel was still dissatisfied.
Rachel was about to reason with her.
It was at this moment when a waft of fragrance appeared.
Fade then saw a young man, who was adorned with the latest fashion labels, come over with two waiters. Several plates of mouthwatering dishes were also brought over.
"Rachel, Hazel, it just so happens that I have some hot dishes prepared. I'll ask the chef to heat it up. I can't finish it all on my own. Why don't we eat together?" The man had the waiters place the dishes down on the table.
There were fragrant roast duck, roasted pork with plums, and even a small self-heating hot pot.
Although these dishes were not considered luxurious in their country, it was exceptionally precious around here.
Hazel's eyes lit up when she saw these delicacies. "They smell so delicious. Now this is food fit for human consumption! There's even a small hot pot. It's my favorite!"
"I'm glad you two like it. I still have more. Eat as much as you like!" While the man responded, he automatically parked himself next to Rachel.
"I didn't expect you to be so
considerate, Kingston. You're really
าวน์
our savior!" Hazel said to the man. While she chewed, she glanced worriedly at her friend, "Rachel, don't
you like pork with plums the most? Let's not waste Kingston's efforts. Have a bite!"
This Kingston guy who sat next to her followed with a smile, "I specifically had the chef from my father's five-star hotel in Haris City prepare this. The taste might not be the same as having it fresh, but it should still taste good."
Rachel rejected his enthusiasm politely, "Thank you, but I'm a bit under the weather from the long ride. I prefer something light."
She then picked up the cabbage and started eating.
Kingston's face darkened immediately.
He then tried to persuade her several times. He even tried to fill up her plate, but she pushed back with all kinds of excuses.
Fade watched silently from the other side. He quietly ate his meal. However, little did they know that he roughly understood what was really going on across him.
