Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 606

After lunch, they went back respectively. Fade rested for a few hours before receiving a call from Melanie again in the evening.

Fade picked up the phone and answered with a smile, "Director Yu!"

"President Chen, are you free later? I'd like to have dinner with you tonight."

Melanie's invitation caused Fade to freeze for a while. After all, they just had lunch together at noon. Why would Melanie want to have dinner with him again in the evening? Come to think of it, she sounded slightly strange as well.

When Fade fell silent, Melanie, who was on the other end of the line, added with some disappointment, "If you are not free, then maybe next time."

Fade felt that there was something wrong with her, so he immediately replied, "Director Yu, I am free. Let's have dinner together tonight. Where are you?"

There was a hint of surprise in Melanie's tone. She spoke quickly, "I've already booked a table at the restaurant. All you have to do is come over."

"Okay! Director Yu, please wait for a moment. I'll be right there. See you later," Fade said.

Hanging up the phone, Fade frowned. He could tell that there was something wrong with Melanie. She must have encountered some trouble.

Thinking of this, Fade got changed in an instant and rushed to the appointed hotel.

When Fade arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, Melanie greeted him with a bright smile. She also extended her right hand to shake hands with him and said, "President Chen, long time no see." Fade was slightly dumbfounded. Staring at Melanie, he said, "Sister Melanie, we are not here on official business. There's no need to be so polite."

As he said that, he was about to hug Melanie. At that moment, a middle-aged woman in her fifties came out from behind Melanie.

The woman had short hair and she was wearing a black close-fitting jacket. She looked austere and neat, with her whole jacket buttoned tightly to the top.

She came to Melanie's side and said coldly, "Melanie, I'll take charge of the guest."

Then, the she strode in front of Melanie. She cast a glance at Fade, gesturing for him to enter the hotel emotionlessly, "President Chen, please come in."

The situation frightened Fade. He glanced at the middle-aged woman and then at Melanie with a questioning gaze.

At this moment, Melanie stood behind the middle-aged woman with an embarrassed smile on her face. When she caught sight of Fade's looking at her, she could only nod and smile apologetically. Seeing this, the middle-aged woman silently stood between the two to stop them from staring at each other. Then, she gazed at Fade and uttered in a cold tone, "President Chen, please come in." Fade nodded and then followed her into the hotel without a word.

When he entered the hotel, the middle-aged woman invited Fade to sit opposite Melanie. Then, she just stood there and observed the two of them.

The situation made Fade feel a little uneasy.

Melanie was also frowning. She looked at the middle-aged woman and said, "Aunt, President Chen and I are going to discuss our business affairs. Why don't you take a rest first?"

The middle-aged woman shook her head and replied, "It's great that you're going to talk about business affairs. Your business is also considered part of the family business. So, I'll keep an eye on you." Melanie's expression was helpless. As Melanie wanted to explain something, her aunt did not buy it at all and had no intention of leaving.

Given the situation, Melanie could only cast a helpless glance at Fade, and then she began to talk about inviting Winnie Huo to endorse Emerald Plum Jewels.

This was what they had talked about at noon, so Fade had no problem talking about it again. Eventually, they ended up just repeating what they had already discussed.

Melanie's aunt listened to their conversation for a while and nodded slightly. Finally, she stood up and said, "Since it's about business, you guys can take your time. I'll leave first."

"Alright, Aunt. Take care!" Melanie uttered.

Then, she stared at her aunt until she was completely out of sight. It was only then that she heaved a sigh of relief and smiled apologetically at Fade, saying, "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry. I asked you out, but it turned out that..."

Fade waved his hand and said, "Sister Melanie, you don't have to apologise to me. I know that you must have your reasons. Can you tell me what is going on?"

Upon hearing his question, Melanie's face fell, and she looked somewhat hesitant.

Finally, she made up her mind as she looked at Fade and explained, "Actually, I came to Long City for something else apart from the endorsement contract."

Fade was shocked. He looked at Melanie and asserted, "Sister Melanie, no matter what problem you're encountering now, I'm just a call away. If there's anything I can help you with, I'll make sure to give it my

all."

Melanie nodded to Fade with a grateful smile as she said, "Fade, thank you very much. In fact, this is related to my birth, I..."

Just as Melanie was about to reveal it to Fade, a commotion suddenly broke out.

"There! They're over there! Hurry up!"

"Surround them. Don't let anybody leave!"

"Keep them here. Master Chang will be here right away."

Amongst the shouts, Fade and Melanie turned their heads around and saw a group of men around the ages of 20 to 30 years old who were dressed in black. They rushed into the hotel and surrounded the two of them swiftly. They looked aggressive, as if they were going to beat them up.

Melanie trembled in fear when she caught sight of the situation.

Fade frowned as he got up to stand beside Melanie. He threw a cold glance at the people around him and asked, "Who are you? What do you want?"

As soon as Fade finished asking, he heard a sinister laugh from behind the crowd, "Director Yu and Mr. Chen, did you forget what you had done to me already?"

With that, the men in black cleared a path for the mastermind. Then, a man in a wheelchair rolled towards them slowly.

As soon as they saw the man in the wheelchair, Fade and Melanie's eyes widened as they exclaimed, "It's you!"

The man in the wheelchair glared at Melanie and Fade, his eyes glowing with hatred. He gnashed his teeth and said, "Since you still recognise me, it's time to pay the price for my legs."

The man in the wheelchair was none other than Felipe Chang, the person whom Director Qin had invited to compete with Melanie at the jewellery fair previously. At that time, Fade defeated him and broke his legs.

Fade vaguely remembered that Felipe had mentioned that he was a member of the Lightning Clan and that he wanted Fade to let him go.

Now, it looked like Felipe was here with the members of the Lightning Clan to take revenge on him.
