As soon as the door opened, Fade rushed in with a bowl of soup, handed it to Quin, and said, "Come on, dear, drink this."
"What's this?" Quin looked at the bowl of black soup and instinctively frowned.
"I've made you hangover soup." Fade scooped up the liquid with a spoon, blew it on his mouth, and moved it close to Quin's mouth. "You drank a lot at the party today."
"I'm not drunk!" Quin was still cold, but her heart trembled slightly.
"It's not good for your stomach, even though you are not drunk but you still had too much wine. This is my special hangover soup, it helps with nourishing your stomach. Have a try, it tastes good, and it's not bitter at all." Fade, like coaxing a child, handed the spoon to Quin's mouth.
Quin opened her mouth slightly and swallowed a spoonful of liquid. Then her eyes lit up and her cheeks relaxed. Her taste buds tingled in delight because the liquid was really not bitter at all and tasted very good.
Fade broke into laughter at her expression and handed over the spoon to her.
Quin blushed abashedly. She took the spoon and bowl and said, "I'll drink it on my own."
Fade smiled as he watched Quin finish the hangover soup. Then he picked up the spoon and got up to go out. "Sleep earlier, have a good rest. Goodnight."
Quin nodded slightly. Watching Fade walk out of the room, she parted her lips and softly uttered, "Goodnight". Then she picked up the Doraemon doll, buried her head into it, and whispered to herself, "Hum, this guy has some conscience. He knows how to care for me.
That night, Quin slept soundly with a sweet smile on her face.
The next morning, Fade had just arrived at the office of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc. He was about to start on something to invigorate his mind. However, before he could start, a phone call summoned Fade to the president's office.
He had just arrived at the office and had even not begun to ask what the matter was. A scent of lily wafted in, and then Lily, who was wearing a professional suit, came in. Fade nodded with a smile as a way of greeting her.
Lily also nodded at Fade, but she was puzzled. Why was Fade in the president's office? Was there any special relationship between him and Quin?
While he was thinking, Quin opened her mouth and said, "Lily, Fade, there's somewhere that I need you to attend to in the afternoon. It's a secret."
"President Lin, what's the issue?" When it comes to secrets, Lily's became extremely solemn, but this was not saying much, given how serious she always was when she was at work anyway.
Quin did not speak. Instead, she handed Fade and Lily two documents.
After glancing through the information, Fade immediately understood why it needed to be kept a secret. It was what he had mentioned to Quin before about Donald's shady deal.
Quin had not brought this up for a long time. Fade thought that she had forgotten about this, but he did not expect that she had secretly conducted this investigation. It seemed that she was ready to make the final blow.
Fade quickly finished reading the information. As expected, Quin had investigated that Donald conducted many illegal activities, a key one involving one of the company's factories in the suburbs of Bay City.
It was the largest production base of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc in Bay City, with 70% of the products in this area being supplied by this factory. According to the investigation, Donald might have done some shady deals regarding this factory.
But the specific problem was not yet clear. So, Quin is now sending Lily and Fade to figure out what had actually happened to the factory.
Lily knew some things about Donald, so she was not surprised after reading the information. But to her surprise, in turn, Fade too was not surprised at all and seemed to know the inside story.
Moreover, it was very strange to let Fade, a doctor at the company, investigate alongside her. However, this was Quin's choice. Although Lily was puzzled, she would still execute it firmly.
After clarifying the situation, they set off immediately to investigate.
They took a company car. Because Fade had no driver's license, Lily was the one who drove.
It took them about two hours to get to the suburbs. Lily was in serious work mode and did not chat with Fade throughout the journey.
Fade was extremely bored, he resorted to fiddling with the radio in the car. He switched across several channels.
It was either advertisement for "Unhappy XXX life, please use XX condom", or inquiries like "My husband finished off too quickly every time, in just three minutes". From NôvelDrama.Org.
Before Fade could continue to switch channels, Lily turned off the radio and glared at Fade.
Fade could only throw up his hands innocently, and he looked around in boredom. Finally, his sight fell on a box of milk behind the windshield. He could not help but reach out his hand and picked up the milk, he said to Lily suddenly, "Lily, give me your milk!"
Lily suddenly jerked her body, turned her head, and glared at Fade. She gritted her teeth and said, "What did you say?"
Fade was so frightened by her fierceness that his body shrank. He quickly put down the milk in his hand and explained, "Manager Wei, I'm just talking about this carton of milk. It's a pity that you haven't drunk it all this time. It's a waste, so I asked if you can give it to me!"
"You..." Lily's pretty face was red. She stared at Fade, but she couldn't say anything when she saw his innocent expression. She could only grit her teeth and say, "Please speak clearly from now on."
"Oh!" Fade nodded, picked up the milk, and drank it happily. He sighed while saying,
"Manager Wei, your milk is so good."
"Did you say that on purpose?" Lily glared at Fade with a red face.
Fade's face suddenly changed. He shouted "Be careful!" and launched himself towards Lily. He grabbed the steering wheel with both hands making a sharp left turn. At the same time, he stretched out his right leg to quickly step on the brake.
All of a sudden, the car made rumbled loudly on the road. It crashed into a belt grass on the side of the road and stopped.
Fade almost lying flat on Lily's body. His big hands were clutching on to her slender hands, and his upper body was pressed tightly against Lily's delicate body. His legs, which were on the brakes, were also wedged tightly between Lily's thighs.
Feeling the weight of his body, Lily was fuming with anger.
She felt that Fade had just harassed her verbally, and now he took the opportunity to touch her inappropriately. He was completely a hooligan.
