Chapter 378


    Fade Chen patted his head, and he tried to remember this symbol, but he still couldn''t do so. In the


    end, he could only shake his head as he ced this symbol at the back of his mind.


    After that, Fade reached his hand out and mmed the Skull Leader''s head without a moment of


    hesitation. He was killed instantly.


    Quin Lin had already woken up by the time Fade got back to the hotel. As soon as she saw him,


    she bit her lips with tears welling up in her eyes. She threw herself at him and buried herself in his


    embrace as she started to cry.


    Fade was surprised that his wife would take the initiative to hug him so tightly.


    He was a little dazed, then he wrapped his arms around her and patted her on the back. He


    comforted her softly,saying, "Honey, it''s okay. It''s okay now, everything''s fine now. As long as you


    have me, everything will be just fine."


    Quin was still sobbing softly in Fade''s embrace. It wasn''t another ten minutes


    before she wiped her tears away and left his arms with bloodshot eyes.


    Quin didn''t expect her tears to trickle down her face all the way to her chest, causing her clothes to


    be wet. Her pajamas were already somewhat transparent, and the cloth stuck to her skin even more


    now, exposing her snow-white skin.


    Fade''s eyes widened at such a beautiful sight, and he couldn''t get himself to look elsewhere.


    Quin caught on to Fade''s expression, and she lowered her head and caught a glimpse of her


    clothes. She blushed as she held her hand up to her chest and turned away.


    Fade said with a grin, "My dear wife, we''re married now. There''s nothing to be shy of."


    He might say such words, but Fade brought a coat for his wife and help her to put it on gently.


    Quin calmed herself down, and she sat beside Fade.She asked him softly, "Then, do you have any


    news on Jeremy?"


    Fade shook his head lightly and said gently, "No news. ording to those people, Jeremy was


    brought here by another group of people, and they left after taking pictures."


    "Who are those people? What do they want Jeremy for, and why did they ask for me toe


    here?" Quin asked.


    Fade shook his head once again and said, ''Tm not really sure yet. Maybe they wanted to kidnap


    you and ask for ransom?"


    Fade didn''t tell her his spections, that the Skull Mob could be connected to Quin''s mother,


    Chrystal Xie.


    After all, his wife had been through a lot in this period of time. Fade intended to allow her to rx,


    instead of continuing to put pressure on her.


    Quin stopped asking more questions upon hearing Fade''s answer. Her gazended on Fade as she


    said softly, "Fade, thank you!"

    Fade answered with a grin, "My silly wife, I am your husband. You don''t have to thank me for doing


    something for you. You''re too kind."


    Fade stretched out his hand and caressed Quin''s pale cheeks gently.


    Quin only smiled, and she didn''t push Fade''s hand away.


    He had a beautiful wife, but Fade couldn''t bring himself to harbor any amorous feelings right now.


    He wanted his wife to have a good night''s rest.


    The couple journeyed back home the next morning.


    Upon returning to Long City, Quin buried herself in thepany''s affairs almost immediately without


    giving herself a break.


    Seeing her in this state, Fade''s heart started to ache. He tried to talk some sense into her, but Quin


    wouldn''t listen to him. Fade knew that his wife was using her work to numb herself, as she was


    feeling extreme pressure in her heart.


    "I have to find a way to let her rx, so that she can let go of some of that pressure," Fade


    pondered on the ways he could help his wife take a break.


    Right then, the doorbell rang. Fade went to the door to open it, only to find that there was no one


    standing on the other side of the door.


    "Who is ying a prank on me?" Fade wondered,and he was confused.


    A figure jumped from behind the door and darted in Fade''s direction.


    Fade''s nerves tensed up, and he was instinctively ready to attack. However, he discovered that the


    person was no other than Momo Soo.


    Fade quickly put his hands away. Momo suddenly jumped into his arms like a ko hugging a tree.


    "Momo, what are you doing here in Long City?" Fade asked.


    Wrinkling her little nose, Momo said, "Brother-inw, you must be so confused that you''ve even lost


    track of the time."


    "Time? What do you mean?" Fade was dumbfounded.


    Momo knocked Fade a few times on the head and said, "My stupid brother-inw, tomorrow is the


    first of May, Labor''s Day. I''vee to Long City to see you both because it''s a school holiday."


    "Oh,bor''s day, a holiday!" Fade was suddenly enlightened. He looked at Momo who was still


    clinging onto him and said, "Momo, can youe down now? It''s not really appropriate for us to be


    standing at the door like this."


    "Brother-inw, are you afraid that my sister will be jealous if she sees us?" Momo said. She


    wrinkled her nose, with a cute and yful smile on her face.


    Fade pinched her lightly on the nose and said, "Your sister''s not at home. What should I be afraid


    of?"


    Momo thought of something and said, "What are you trying to insinuate, brother-inw?"


    Momo blinked mischievously at Fade as she spoke, even deliberately pulling on her own shirt cor,


    exposing her delicate corbones and smooth shoulders. She wriggled in


    Fade''s arms seductively.


    Fade muttered "Little goblin" to himself, as he quickly pried Momo off from his body.


    She didn''t let go of him,but she buried herself in Fade''s arms yfully. "My dear brother-inw, why


    are you upset? Are you feeling a little aroused?"she said.


    Fade quickly shook his head and retorted, "Nonsense! I am a noble gentleman in every sense of the


    word."


    Momo blinked her eyes as she said with a smile, "Is that so? Then why do I feel..."


    Fade felt a sudden embarrassment and retreated. He pushed his derriere slightly backward and


    coughed awkwardly. "Don''t talk nonsense. I, I didn''t react,"he said.


    "Brother-inw, what sort of reaction are you talking about?" Momo said. She looked at Fade


    innocently, and pulled out a bunch of keys from his pocket. Then, she said, "I meant your keys, my


    dear brother-inw, they''re so hard. What were you thinking of?"


    Fade was rendered speechless, thinking that he will never outdo this little goblin. Therefore, he


    quickly changed the topic and said, "Momo, I bet you''ve haven''t had anything to eat since your


    arrival in Long City. How about I take you out for a meal?"


    Momo replied, "That won''t be necessary. I''ve had something to eat on the way here. Besides, it''ll be


    dinner time soon, I''ll just eatter."


    Speaking of dinner, Momo couldn''t help but let out a sigh and said, "Ever since both of you moved


    to Long City, I haven''t been able to drop by the mansion for meals. I couldn''t taste Housekeeper


    Wong''s cooking anymore. My cravings are killing me."


    "Housekeeper Wong is not the only one who can cook up a storm, because I can too! I''ll cook


    dinner for you," Fade said confidently, patting on his chest.


    "Brother- in-w, you know how to cook?" Momo asked, and she was surprised.
