The sudden incident made Fade bewildered. He immediately eyed the person beside him in curiosity.

The person was wearing an oversized shirt with a hat on top, and her face was shielded beneath the shadows. However, judging from her figure, it was evident that she was a young lady. "Miss, you " Fade was about to ask.

The girl quickly made a silencing gesture at Fade. Then, to Fade's disbelief, she approached Fade. She directly held Fade's arm intimately and leaned her head against Fade's shoulder. Fade was taken aback by her blatant moves. Deep in his heart, he whispered, "Are the girls in Thunder Mountain City so bold and aggressive?"

"Miss, I" Fade said.

However, before he could say anything, the woman lowered her voice and said to Fade, "Someone is after me. Give me a hand. Pretend to be my boyfriend so that they won't discover me." As soon as the girl finished speaking, there was a flurry of footsteps coming from the entrance of the food stall. Several people hurried in, scanning around frantically as though they were after somebody.

The girl stole a glance at them and she stiffened. She whispered to Fade, "They're coming."

Then, the girl leaned closer to Fade. Her soft body went directly onto Fade's arm, and her cheek inched closer to his. She whispered to Fade within a hair's breadth, "Don't let out a sound."

As the two closed the distance between each other, Fade finally got to take a clear view of the young lady's face which was concealed under the big hat.

The girl was in her early twenties, she was young. The pair of massive bright eyes, small but high nose, and moist cherry red lips made the girl look especially lovely and delicate.

As though she could sense Fade's gaze on her, the young lady shot a disapproving glare at him and whispered, "Stop looking. You will expose us."

At this moment, several people who came in looking for her stalked toward their location.

The young lady was overwhelmed with mounting nerves. She plunged herself deeper into Fade's embrace, and her cheek was so close to Fade's that they were almost glued to each other. They could feel each other's hot and humid breaths of landing on their cheeks.

After a long while, hearing that it had gone quiet, the young lady retreated a little and asked Fade worriedly, "Have they left?"

Fade looked up and found that those people were gone. So, he nodded and said, "Yes."

Immediately, the lady breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled sweetly at Fade in gratitude and said, "Thank you. I'm leaving. Bye!"

As she spoke, the girl attempted to let go and get up from Fade's embrace.

However, at that particular moment, a middle-aged man and woman, dressed in good-looking clothes, came over with gloomy faces.

"Cherry Xie! Tell me, what are you doing?"

"Cherry, we've made an appointment for dinner. How can you run away like this?"

Upon hearing the voices of the two, the girl, who was close to getting up, quickly sat back and threw herself back into Fade's embrace. She hugged Fade tightly and whispered in a pleading tone, "Don't let go of me."

At the sight of this scene, the middle-aged man and women's expressions stiffened as they cast a hostile look toward Fade.

"Who are you? Let go of our Cherry."

"Let go of her right now, or you'll have to pay for it."

At this moment, Fade realized that the couple seemed very familiar with the young lady beside him. They were likely to be her parents. But for the sake of the girl's safety, Fade still asked tentatively, "Who are you?"

The two of them immediately answered, "We are her parents. I'd like to ask who you are."

Hearing this, Fade looked at the girl in his arms and asked in a low voice, "Is it true?"

The girl gave a brief nod.

Fade was speechless. He let go of her arms and looked up innocently at the middle-aged couple across him. He said, "I don't know her!"

"You don't know her!" A hint of anger flashed across the man's face and his tone became a little cold. "If you don't know her, why is Cherry so intimate with you?"

For a moment, Fade was at a loss of words. He tried to explain, "I'm speaking the truth, I have no idea who she is. She was the one who suddenly rushed over and hugged me."

"Brat, how dare you say that when you've taken advantage of my daughter? I must teach you a lesson today, or else you wouldn't learn your lesson!"

The woman beside her whipped out her mobile phone and said, "Hello, I'm going to call the police. There's a scoundrel here who is making a move on my daughter. We're at..."

Hearing this, the girl in Fade's arms couldn't take it anymore. She let go of Fade's arms, stood up, and said, "Mom, stop messing around. He's right, we don't know each other."

"If you don't know each other, why did you throw yourself into his arms?" they asked with dark looks. The woman still had her mobile phone out and about.

The girl pouted, "That's because you sent people to catch me. If I hadn't been pushed into a corner, I wouldn't have simply found someone and jumped into his arms." "You are putting the blame on us!" The woman said in agitation, "We sent someone to find you because you've escaped from the dinner setting with Young Master Lei."

"We've made an appointment for dinner together tonight. What would they think of us if you ran away like that?" the middle-aged man lectured her angrily.

The girl pouted and grumbled in sheer dissatisfaction, "I don't care what he thinks of me. I don't like him! But you still asked me to dine with him." "How dare you talk back?! We are doing this for the sake of your grandfather!" the woman shot

back.

The middle-aged man also tried to persuade the young lady in a deep voice, "Cherry, you are not young anymore. You're aware of your grandfather's current physical condition. If he can't obtain the medicine from the Lightning Clan this time, your grandfather may not be able to hold on any longer. As for Young Master Lei, he has connections with the Lightning Clan. That's why we..."

"I know, I know that Grandpa is in poor health and desperately needs medicine for his treatment. I also want Grandpa to recover. Even so, you can't force me to date Young Master Lei." The girl was on verge of

tears.

Seeing their daughter breaking into sobs, the couple's tone softened, but they still held firm on their decision, "We are not asking you to date Young Master Lei. We just want you to dine with him and get acquainted with each other first. You can't even make this tiny sacrifice for your grandfather?"

The girl's face was masked with a grievance, "Mom, Dad, it's not that I don't want to make sacrifices for Grandpa! You have no idea what type of man Young Master Lei is. When we first met two days ago, he was already trying to make a move on me. And now, you're telling me to dine with him alone, who knows what's going to happen!"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man and woman went silent.

After a while, the woman said, "I don't think he will do such a thing as Young Master Lei comes from a reputable family after all. It's just a meal, I don't think he'd go too far!"

Hearing her mother's words, the girl's face was drenched in tears. She retorted in despair, "Why not? You have no idea what kind of obscene he texted me. Are you going to wait until it's too late before you believe what I say?"

With this, the girl whipped out her mobile phone and showed them the text messages.

When the middle-aged man and woman read the messages, their expressions tensed. Their faces turned sullen. For a long time, they were totally at a loss for words.
