Chapter 929
Jade City was a wealthy city; it could even be regarded as the most prosperous city in the country.
However, there were still poor people. Obviously, the poor resided in the ancient part of the city.
Compared to the city center with the high- rise buildings, being at that old and noisy ce made
Fade more rxed.
He found a ce to stop the car and then got out.
Walking along the narrow yet old streets, with residents chattering in the surrounding, made Fade
experience a different kind of lifestyle.
Unconsciously, Fade no longer felt annoyed; he was actually rxed at that moment.
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly and he rxed a little. Fade''s stomach immediately growled.
Fade had been run off his feet that day so he hadn''t had a meal yet. Now, he was attracted by the
scent at the roadside restaurant. Suddenly, Fade''s stomach growled even louder.
As a result, Fade unconsciously quickened his pace, exploring the roadside like a radar, looking for
delicacies.
There were many roadside stores, many of which attracted Fade. However, they were very
crowded. Fade wasn''t in the mood for waiting, so he could only to find another ce.
Walking along the narrow streets, Fade suddenly caught a glimpse of something he almost reached
the end of the road. At the corner of the street, there was a signboard hanging in front of a small
house with a delicious aroma permeating the air.
Moreover, perhaps because of the remote location, there were not many people at the entrance.
The aroma enticed Fade and he quickly walked over.
At the entrance of the shop, Fade saw what they were selling. There were some round cakes stuck
together in the honeb-shaped oven, giving off a sweet scent, which made Fade''s stomach
growl even more.
Fade nced at the introduction on the sign beside the shop. Egg waffles were a local delicacy in
Jade City.
Looking at the golden egg waffles in the oven, Fade couldn''t help feeling that it was appetizing.
Looking inside the shop, however, there was no one in sight. Hence, he shouted, "Is anyone inside?
I want to buy something."
Hearing that, a voice of a middle- aged echoed, "Coming,ing."
Then, Fade saw a woman who was in her fifties, dressed casually, scurrying out.
Behind the middle- aged woman, there was a young figure rushing out. She held the middle-aged
woman back and said, "Mom, you''re not in good health. Don''t run so fast. Let me do it."
The middle- aged woman said, "We have a customer, how can we not hurry up? We can''t make our
customer wait."
"Okay, okay. Mom, let me do it." The young woman quickly came forward and greeted
enthusiastically, "Hello. May I know how much you want to buy?
Fade nced at the signboard beside and then said, "I''ll have one."
The young woman nodded and then picked up a bowl, using a pair of tongs to grip an egg waffle for
Fade. At the same time, she said, "It''s fifteen yuan for one."
On the side, the middle-aged woman walked over slowly and said, "There''s still so many left. Give
him more."

During the conversation, the middle-aged woman asked her daughter to give Fade a few more.
Fade took the bowl, and nodded in gratitude. Then, he took out money and handed it over.
However, the young woman, whose hand just took Fade''s money, suddenly stopped moving. "It''s
you!" She eximed in surprise.
Hearing this, Fade raised his head to look at the woman. Her face was delicate. She had
pronounced facial features, looking like she was mixed-race. She was stunning.
Fade was a little dazzled, but he was curious. He stared at the young woman and asked, "You are...
do you know me?"
At that time, the woman had a wide smile on her face. She pointed at herself and said, "Don''t you
know me? Yesterday at the airport, you and I took a taxi..."
Speaking of that, Fade suddenly recalled it. The girl he met at the airport on the previous day was
also a blonde, and her figure was simr to hers.
However, Fade was anxious at that time. Moreover, that woman had been wearing sunsses all
the way, so Fade did not recognize her.
"It''s you! You are..." Fade was surprised and studied the woman in front of him.
When Fade met the girl at the airport the previous day, she was fashionably dressed. However, now
she was dressed in casual clothing, giving her a more delicate aura. It was apletely different
stylepared to the day before.
The girl could tell Fade was confused. She winked at Fade. She smiled and chuckled, "I''m home
and my mother doesn''t like that style. So I..."
As she said so, the girl waved her hands, looking lively and adorable.
Fade also smiled, "I see. I didn''t expect to meet you here by coincidence."
Meanwhile, the girl''s mother, Mrs. An looked at the two of them, who were chatting, and asked,
"Nita, who is this?"
Nita quickly introduced, "Mom, this is the good Samaritan that I told you about yesterday. The one
who helped to pay for my taxi ride."
"Oh, it''s him! Then how dare you ept his money," Mrs. An quickly snatched the money from Nita
and returned it to Fade. Then, she said enthusiastically, "Young man, you are Nita''s benefactor.
Come on in, I''ll make you a cup of tea."
Fade didn''t want to cause trouble, but looking at how enthusiastic she was, he walked in with a
smile.
Mrs. An went inside to make some tea. Nita asked Fade to have a seat, she smiled and said, "Try
my egg waffle. It''s really nice."
Fade was reminded of the egg waffle. He quickly took a bite, and his eyes narrowed. He chewed
the food in big mouthfuls and then swallowed it. He gave her a thumbs-up and said, "It''s very good."
Nita''s smile widened upon hearing Fade''spliment. She started to chat with him "Have more
then."
"By the way, I don''t know your name yet."
Fade said with a smile, "It''s not a big deal. My name is Fade Chen."
"Fade Chen? I will call you Fade then. She smiled, "Fade, you must note from Jade City,
right?"
Fade spoke while eating, "Yes, I''m from Dragonville. By the way, may I know your name? Are you a
local here?"
"My name is Nita An. You can call me Nita." She smiled.
"Nita!" Fade was a little surprised, he did not expect the girl to have a nickname. However, thinking
about it, they were in Jade City and it was considered normal there.
