Hearing this, the boss immediately said, "Awesome! You're so lucky to have a lovely daughter. It's better to take care of a daughter than a son. What's more, for a son, you have to worry about housing and his marriage. There are enough troublesome matters, I..."

Upon hearing this, Fade couldn't help but burst out into a fit of amused laughter. He wondered if he should record the shop owner's words and play them to Quin when he delivered the gift. He wondered what Quin's reaction would be.

After paying for the bill and picking up the wrapped-up toy, Fade went out and was ready to get on the car.

Just as Fade was about to drive away, he suddenly caught a glimpse of two figures from the corner of his eye as they walked into the shopping mall across the street.

Although their moves were swift, Fade could still clearly see the faces of the two figures with his eagle-sharp eyes.

It was a young man and woman, both in their twenties. The men had a handsome countenance with a hint of a smile on his lips. Fade did not know him at all.

But he was too familiar with the woman beside him. It was Quin!

Seeing this scene, Fade's heart missed a beat. His relaxed mood could not help but tense up at the moment. His first instinct was to rush over to find out what was going on, but his senses held him back.

Fade was not an impulsive person, after all. He took a deep breath and tried to regain his composure. He whispered to himself, "Maybe, he is just a businessman who has a business relationship with Quin. My wife may just be out with him for some business negotiation."

As he thought so, Fade took out his mobile phone and dialed Quin's number.

After a while, the phone connected. Fade put on a tone as calm as possible, "Honey, where are you? There's nothing to do in the medical center now. I'm going to the company. Let's have lunch together at noon."

Quin was momentarily silent before she said, "No, thanks. I'm not at the office."

"If you're not there, where are you then? I'll go over and find you," Fade asked.

Quin said lightly, "I'm going to inspect a factory. I'll be back in the evening. There's no need for you to come here." "I still have something to do. I'll hang up first." Quin immediately hung up the phone. At this moment, Fade felt his emotion, which had just been calmed down, flared up into a huge storm like a sea with perilous waves.

All of a sudden, all kinds of thoughts rushed into his mind.

"Why did my wife lie to me, telling me that she was inspecting a factory?"

"Who's that man? What's his relationship with my wife?"

"What are they doing in the mall? What are they talking about?"

"What if he's a bad guy? My wife is not in danger, is she?"

The more Fade thought about it, the more nervous he became. He couldn't care about anything else. He even forgot to put down the soft toys in his car. He brought the toys along and rushed into the mall across the road.

After entering the mall, Fade quickly scrutinized the area in search of her familiar figure.

The shopping mall was spacious, but Fade could feel the special aura of Quin's Bodhi bracelet, so it did not take him long to quickly figure out the direction of his wife. He dashed forward in the direction without a second thought.

When he arrived at the third floor of the shopping mall, Fade saw his wife, Quin, in a cafe.

Quin was sitting opposite the young men. There were two cups of coffee on the table in front of them. Her lips were moving as if she was saying something.

As he spoke, the man laughed from time to time and even took the initiative to lean towards Quin.

Such a scene made Fade livid with anger, he could feel his blood gushing. He was so indignant for himself that he felt like dashing forward and throwing the man out.

However, before he could confirm what was going on, Fade did not act out impulse.

He crept into the clothing store next to him, bought a coat, and put on a pair of sunglasses. Then, he walked into the cafe with the toy in hand.

Quin's seat was on the right side of the cafe. After Fade came in, he walked to the left, took a detour, before he finally sat down at a table behind Quin.

Fade put the toy on the chair to cover his body. Then, he adjusted his position to peek at Quin from the corner of the table.

Quin was so engrossed in their conversation that she did not notice what was going on over there at all.

Even if she had noticed it, she would not have thought that the man who was holding a toy and wearing sunglasses, would be Fade.

Fade ordered a cup of coffee. As he sipped casually, he cast a glance at Quin from the corner of his eye. At the same time, his ears trembled as he tried to catch Quin's conversation with the man. Although their voices were not loud, Fade was not an ordinary person after all. He had an unusually sharp sense of hearing, so he could clearly eavesdrop their conversation.

The man smiled gently and looked at Quin, saying, "Quin, we haven't seen each other for five years since graduation!"

Quin replied calmly, "Yes."

"Quin, I haven't seen you in so long You're still as beautiful as ever! Nothing has changed. Unlike me, I have aged," The man looked at Quin with keen eyes.

Quin's brows quivered at the man's slightly intimate words, she said, "Richard, you are now a high-ranked executive of a multinational company. You are young and promising. How are you an old man?" Hearing this, the man called Richard Yi raised the corners of his mouth and smiled in delight. He stirred the coffee and said, "No matter how powerful my company is, I'm merely a worker. I can't compare with you! Quin, you are the Chief Executive Officer of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc, a real big boss!"

"Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc is blooming rapidly in the past two years, and its current market value is more than 10 billion yuan. Even the foreigners from the top management of our company asked me to pay attention to your company and even said to network with your company." Richard said.

Quin shook her head gently and said, "My position as the Chief Executive Officer is inherited from my parents. It's not a big deal, but you're the capable one. In just a few years, you have worked your way from the bottom into the person in charge of the Asia region of a multinational trading company like Maisie Corp."

Richard chuckled. He waved his hand and said, "Enough with the formalities, Quin, we are old classmates, that's no need for us to flatter each other like this."

Quin also smiled and stirred the coffee. After hesitating for a while, she finally said, "Richard, the medicine you mentioned to me on the phone, I don't know..." Richard replied, "Oh, I have gotten a tube of that medicine."

"You have it? That's great. Where is it?" Quin was a little excited.

Richard made a quiet gesture and whispered to Quin, "Quin, keep your voice down. I left the drug in my hotel. If you want it now, you can go with me to get it."

"The hotel!" Quin's expression stiffened immediately as if she noticed something unusual.

Richard quickly explained, "I just started my work here not long ago, so I haven't bought a house yet. So right now, I live in a hotel near the company. Besides, this drug is a brand new product developed by a foreign laboratory, it isn't on sale yet. I have violated the regulations when I snuck one out, so I can't simply bring it anywhere with me.
