Magic Doctor: CEO Lady's Humble Husband

Chapter 8

When Quin Lin woke up the next morning, with somehow swollen eyes, she found that Fade Chen's room downstairs was empty.

Quin Lin's heart sank and her face darkened.

"Did Fade Chen stay out last night? Or was it because he was hurt by me? Did he leave and would never return anymore?

Just at that moment, Housekeeper Wong came out with breakfast, "Miss, are you looking for Sir?

"I'm not..." Quin Lin instinctively denied, but thinking of what happened yesterday, she nodded again and uttered quietly, "Has he not come back all night?"

Housekeeper Wong replied, "No, sir did came back yesterday. He just went to work."

"Work?" Quin Lin was slightly startled, "Why did he leave so early?".

Housekeeper Wong looked at Quin Lin and told her, "Sir said he didn't know the route, so he went out early to take the bus.

"Ah----" Quin Lin suddenly realized she went home alone yesterday, leaving Fade Chen who was not familiar with this place behind. For a moment, Quin Lin was a little absent minded and felt that she had once again hurt Fade Chen.

Housekeeper Wong noticed Quin Lin's sadness. She smiled and said, "Miss, are you worried about Sir? I don't think you have anything to worry about. After he came back last night, when he heard that you had cooked for him, he finished up all the dishes. I didn't even have time to heat them up."

"Ah, all of them?" Quin Lin was a little surprised.

Housekeeper Wong nodded and said, "Yes, all of them. Sir even said that they were delicious!"

For some reason, Quin Lin let out a smile and felt better. She then said to Housekeeper Wong, "Housekeeper Wong, prepare one more bowl of salad. I have good appetite today."

"Yes, Miss," Housekeeper Wong replied.

After breakfast, Quin Lin drove to the company. Sitting in the office, things related to Fade Chen were constantly running in her mind. Arguments which had happened in the company. Fade Chen's disappointment and the home cooked meal last night.

The overwhelming feelings caused Quin Lin to be unable to pay much attention to work, which rarely happened.

Picking up the phone, Quin Lin told the secretary outside, "Ask Doctor Chen from the medical room to come here."

In the medical room, Fade Chen, who had received a call from the president's office asking him to go over, was a little anxious. Fade Chen didn't know what Quin Lin wanted.

Will she criticize him out of distrust like last afternoon, or prepare dinner for him as she had done the night before.

Walking towards the office, Fade Chen knocked on the door and was ready to go in.

Right at this moment, a phone rang in the office. Quin Lin took out her phone and picked up the phone.

Fade Chen, who had just pushed the door open, saw this and stopped in his track; he was hesitating whether he should go in.

Quin Lin was thinking of how to apologize to Fade Chen euphemistically. However, this sudden phone call destroyed all the thoughts she had.

The caller ID showed that the call was from Jeremy Lin, Quin Lin's very own elder brother.

With a gloomy face, Quin Lin answered the call, "Why did you call me?"

"My good sister, don't you know the reason?" A frivolous voice answered from the other end.

Quin Lin responded coldly, "If you want to talk about the engagement, then there's no need for this conversation. I will not agree to it."

"That is Howard Zhang, one of the most powerful figures in Bay City. Don't be capricious. "Jeremy Lin replied.

"It is you who are being capricious, not me. Tell Howard Zhang that it's impossible for me to marry him." Quin Lin bit back angrily. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

"The marriage is already settled. You have no say in this." Of course, Jeremy Lin is not going to let himself lose.

"Really? But I'm already married. The so-called engagement is worthless now, isn't it?" Jeremy Lin can even hear the triumph in Quin Lin's voice. Out of anger, Jeremy Lin said, "Married? What are you talking about? When did you get married? You're lying!"

"Just two days ago, I've gotten my marriage certificate. Now, I am a married woman. Please ask Howard Zhang to give up." Quin Lin gave her reply.

"You, you..." Jeremy Lin who was on the other end of the phone was beyond furious. "I don't care what have you done, but you cannot turn down your marriage with Howard Zhang. It has been decided, and it's not up to you to change the decision."

"I can't decide on my own marriage? Don't you think it's too ridiculous?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The conversation became more and more heated by every second, it gradually turned into a dispute.

At this moment, Fade Chen, who was standing at the door, couldn't help but frowned. Obviously, Fade Chen had realized that this phone call was to force Quin Lin to get married. It did not seem suitable for Fade Chen to get involved in these private affairs.

With this thought, Fade Chen gently closed the door and left the office.

A few minutes later, Quin Lin hung up the phone, her eyes red and her face was filled with anger.

Quin Lin looked at the closed door and felt inexplicably disappointed. Quin Lin said to herself, "He was at the door. He must have heard what I said about the engagement. He knew that I was forced, but why wouldn't he come in and comfort me?"

"Do I hold no place in his heart? Quin Lin once again spoke to herself.

This thought made Quin Lin reddened eyes dimmed.

Right then, the secretary came in and asked, "President Lin, Mr. Chen just came, but as you were busy just now, he decided to go back to work first. Do you need me to call him up again?"

Quin Lin gently caressed her cheek, shook her head and said, "No, it's fine. I'm not looking for him at the moment."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fade Chen, who just came down from the office, frowned and thought for a moment. Suddenly, something crossed his mind. Fade Chen rushed to Xenia Xu's place. Fade Chen held Xenia Xu's shoulders, looked deep into her eyes, and said, "Xenia, I have something to say to you!"

"Ah!" Xenia Xu was surprised by Fade Chen's sudden action. Xenia Xu couldn't help but stuttered and breath heavily from Fade Chen's strong gaze, "Fade Chen, what, what did you want to tell me?"

Fade Chen stared into Xenia Xu's eyes and said, "Xenia, I, I want to treat you to a meal after work."

"Treat me to dinner?" Xenia Xu's heart was beating fast and her face turned red, "Fade Chen, why, why would you treat me to dinner?"

"I hope you could do me a favor." Fade Chen looked at Xenia Xu and said, "After work, could you please accompany me to the shopping mall.

"Ah, you want me to accompany you to buy something." Xenia Xu didn't know how to feel for a moment. She was surprised, disappointed, and even a little angry.

"Xenia, are you not free later?" Fade Chen asked.

"No, no, I have nothing else to do tonight." Xenia Xu replied.

At 5:30 in the evening, Fade Chen and Xenia Xu left the company and boarded a bus together.

Quin Lin who was standing by the window in the president's office on the top floor saw the sight of them leaving.

"So, you like this kind of woman?' Somehow, Quin Lin felt a jolt of pain in her heart, "Sure, compared to me, Xenia Xu is young and lovely, and she's much more womanly. It's normal for you to make such a choice."
