After saying goodbye to Mindy Wu, Fade looked at the time. It was almost lunch, so he drove back to the company and was planning to have lunch in the canteen.

When he drove the car to the entrance of the company, he suddenly saw his wife Quin Lin standing at the entrance. He was ready to lower the window down and say hello.

But before Fade could do so, he saw a young blonde foreigner over 1.85 meters tall walking towards Quin with a smile on his face.

His fist clenched tight unknowingly as he gulped. He didn't even care that his car was parked at the company's entrance and quickly stopped the car. He got down in a hurry and headed towards Quin. At this moment, the blonde hunk was already standing beside her asking, "Quin, can I..."

Quin's expression hardened as she interjected whatever the blonde foreigner had to say. Sounding apologetic, she said, "Klaude, I'm sorry. I can't agree to your request."

Fade approached the man and could not help but think of the guy who called Quin last night. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the foreigner warily.

"Quin, what happened? Is this guy bothering you?" Fade rushed to Quin's side and stood in front of her like a human shield. He glared at the blonde-haired foreigner with an unfriendly look. "Fade, you're here." Quin looked at him in surprise as he had suddenly appeared.

Upon hearing Fade's name, Klaude the foreigner reached out his hand and said with a smile, "You are Mr. Chen, Quin's fiance right! Nice to meet you."

Fade's unease and suspicion grew seeing Klaude act so courteous and polite. He snapped back coldly, "I don't think I know you."

Klaude paused briefly, then said apologetically, T m sorry. I should have introduced myself first."

"I'm Klaude, from Micova. I was Qiun's friend back in the days when we were in Micovia studying." Klaude introduced himself politely.

Fade had no intention of shaking hands with Klaude. Instead, he grabbed his wife's hand and immediately said, "Mr. Klaude, it's lunchtime. I'm going to have lunch with my wife, please excuse us." Then, he took Quin's hand and walked into the company.

Klaude was slightly taken aback by Fade's actions. He paused for a moment, then stretched out his hand and shouted, "Mr. Chen, Quin, please wait a minute."

Fade turned back in vigilance, even rolling up his sleeves to show that he was ready for a fight anytime.

Quin also frowned slightly and said unhappily, "Klaude, I've already said that I'm not going to agree to the matter regarding the Life Elixir Wine."

Klaude waved his hand and said with a smile, "Quin, I was not going to talk about the Life Elixir Wine right now. In fact, I was just going to give you this."

As he spoke, he took out an exquisite invitation card and handed it to Quin.

Quin looked at the invitation card with a puzzled look on her face, to which Klaude immediately explained, "Quin, this is an invitation to the business party held by our Micova embassy. Many local and Micovian businesses will be attending. I think that it will be very useful for the Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc to come."

After listening to Klaude's explanation, Quin felt a little embarrassed for her overreaction.

She apologized, "Klaude, I'm sorry. Just now, I..."

Klaude smiled and waved his hand, then said, "It's fine. Quin, I'm your friend. I won't mind."

"You and your husband are going to have lunch, aren't you? In that case, I won't disturb you anymore. Goodbye!" He immediately waved them goodbye and left.

In general, Klaude's behavior was quite polite and he looked like a very good person. However, Fade was still unnerved and uncomfortable, possibly because of the word "baby" that he had overheard on the phone last night.

Quin put away the invitation card and then went upstairs with Fade.

He immediately asked, "Dear, the matter regarding the Life Elixir Wine is..."

Quin explained, "Klaude's family is behind the Keele Corporation, which is the largest beverage company in the world. They came to me when they heard about the Life Elixir Wine somewhere, and said that they wanted to buy the formula to the Life Elixir Wine. I rejected him though!"

"Oh, I see!" Fade nodded and felt relieved. Then he asked hesitantly again, "Then about this banquet, you..."

She softly explained, "There are many international and local businessmen attending the banquet. This is a very good opportunity for our Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc."

Fade immediately replied, "Dear, then I'll go with you."

How could Quin not understand his thoughts? She rolled her eyes at him and said, "Okay, get ready in the meantime then. The banquet will be held tomorrow night."

Fade nodded as he grabbed hold of Quin's hand and said cheerfully, "Dear, I'm hungry. Come on, let's go and have lunch!"

Recently, Quin had gotten used to the slight intimacy she had with Fade. Looking at his figure beside her, all of a sudden she realized that she was at the company and not at home. Instantly, she quickly pulled her hand away and took a step back, before trying to excuse herself, "We're the company now, so be aware. Go ahead and have lunch first, don't wait for me!" Seeing the seriousness in her eyes, Fade couldn't do anything except to let go of her delicate hands. Then, he turned around and went to have lunch.

Soon, the night of the banquet arrived. Fade had dressed smartly in a suit, while Quin was wearing a light blue gown. Both of them drove to the venue together.

An hour later, the car stopped in front of an old building.

The building was two stories tall, surrounded by red brick walls covered with grape ivy. There were lush green trees surrounding the building and the whole place looked quiet and serene.

This was a rare sight because the house was located right between the two most bustling areas in town, and was clan in the center of Bay City. To be able to replace such a peaceful place was quite difficult. Despite looking worn out, the building's value could not be measured by its appearance. A few years back, this place was once Micovia's embassy here. After it was relocated, the municipal government had taken back this building and made it a national artifact. Just these conditions would render ordinary people unable to enter this place easily.

But now, Klaude had managed to gain access to this place for the banquet, which showed how powerful he really was.

Fade and Quin walked side by side with a smile on their faces into the place.

At the entrance of the building, Klaude stood at the entrance cheerfully to welcome the guests. When he saw that they arrived, he had a warm smile on his face. He immediately spread out his arms and was prepared to give Quin a hug.

When Fade saw this, the corners of his eyes could not help but twitch in annoyance. He was afraid that this Klaude would welcome his wife in a Western style and plant a kiss on her face.
