Chapter 129
The drama in the business world continued, but Fade Chen was not an expert in the industry, so he
didn't get involved. As usual, he went to the company's medical room every day.
On this day, Fade Chen went to work as usual, but in the office corridor, he encountered an unexpected
individual. It was Lily Wei, who had been on leave for more than half a month. She had just showed up
today.
Compared to last time, Manager Wei did not put up a cold looking face this time. When she saw Fade
Chen, Lily Wei nodded at him and gave him a rare smile.
Surprised, Fade Chen returned the smile. Fade Chen thought of asking about how she was doing. After
all, they had been through many things together during this period and were friends.
However, when Fade Chen was still organizing his words and wondering how to start a conversation,
Lily Wei took the initiative to approach him and asked softly, "Fade, do you have some time after work ?
I would like to treat you to a meal!"
"Ah!" Fade Chen was surprised but he quickly nodded and said, "Yes, of course, I have time. Manager
Wei is treating, so even if I don't have the time, I have to make time!"
Lily Wei gently acknowledged and smiled, "Then i'll wait for you at the basement parking after work!"
"Okay!" Fade Chen nodded, and Lily Wei moved on. Just like before, her high heels clicking, and the
fresh lily fragrance lingered around Fade Chen. But Fade Chen's sharp observation caught a slight
change to Lily's expression. She didn't look as good as before.
After work, Fade Chen swiftly packed up his belongings and proceeded to the basement parking. He
got into Lily Wei's car. They drove out of the company, and headed for the busy commercial street in

the city center.
Lily Wei had already booked a table at a high-end Chinese restaurant upon arriving. After the dishes
were served, Lily Wei poured Fade Chen and herself each a glass of white wine.
Then, she picked up the glass and said to Fade Chen, "Fade Chen, I’m sorry about what happened
before. Today, purposedly invited you here to formally apologize to you!"
After that, Lily Wei tilted her head and emptied the glass of white wine.
Although Lily Wei was capable of drinking, it was still a little difficult for her to down a full glass of wine.
As soon as she did that, Lily Wei’s face turned a shade of pink and her body swayed slightly. A mixture
of wine and the fragrance of lilies from her body lingered in the air forming an intoxicating fragrance.
" Fade Chen, you have secretly protected me and even blocked the bullet for me. But I’ve
misunderstood you. I owe you an apology. This glass is my toast to you!" While speaking, Lily Wei
poured another glass of wine and emptied it at one go.
Before Fade Chen could stop her, Lily Wei poured herself the glass, she lifted the glass," Fade Chen,
the earlier glass was for my apology, and this glass is for my gratitude. Thank you for saving my
mother. If it weren’t for you, my mother would still.."
With this, Lily Wei again tilted her head upwards and was about to gulp down the wine again.
Fade Chen that Lily Wei had begun to sway, so he quickly grabbed Lily Wei’s wrist and took the wine
glass from her hand. He said," Manager Wei, you can’t drink like this. If you continue drinking, you will
be drunk."
Lily Wei reached out to snatch the wine glass from Fade Chen’s hand and lamented, "Fade Chen,
please let me drink it. I need to drink to get the feeling off my chest. I feel so guilty."
Fade Chen would not let go of the wine glass. He tilted the glass and poured away the wine. Then he
threw the bottle of white wine to the side. He got up, put his hands on Lily Wei’s shoulders to settle her
onto the seat and said," Manager Wei, if you really want to thank me, drinking is not the way."
"Then, then, how do you want me to thank you ?" Lily Wei's cheeks were red, her eyes blurry. Her
delicate lips slightly parted and streams of fragrance rushed into Fade Chen's mouth and nose, he felt
his body warming up.
"How can you thank me ?" Fade Chen rolled his eyes and his gaze fell on Lily Wei. He scanned this
charming girl up and down.
He looked at Lily Wei daringly, as if his eyes could pierce through her body.
Lily Wei caught Fade Chen's gaze, her body suddenly became stiff. She instinctively frowned, and
almost wanted to show her temper. But then she twitched her eyebrows, bit her lip slightly, and held
herself down. She did not move and let Fade Chen's blazing gaze perused all over her.
"I've come up with an idea to let you thank me properly!" Fade Chen suddenly stood up and leaned
over to Lily Wei. His head almost touched Lily Wei's forehead. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly
and he glanced at Lily Wei with a sinister smile.
Lily Wei instantly grabbed her collar, looked at Fade Chen with alert, and said, "What, what do you
want to do? I, I want to thank you, but there are some things I don't do."
" Really ?" Fade Chen frowned and looked unhappy. "That wasn't what you said just now! Then, I can't
feel your sincerity!"
" Fade Chen, you don't cross the line. I won't agree to any excessive demand." Looking at Fade Chen's
piercing eyes, Lily Wei felt a little flustered. She wanted to get up, but perhaps it was because of the

wine or the pressure of Fade Chen's presence, she felt that she could not even move.
"Too much ? Manager Wei, can you tell me what is too much ?" Fade Chen glanced at Lily Wei again
and asked.
Lily Wei bit her crimson lips, and her eyes almost teary." Fade Chen, apart from my body. I can promise
you anything you want."
Fade Chen frowned, "But, the gratitude is related to your body?" ‘ Fade Chen, you’re shameless." Lily
Wei didn't expect Fade Chen to request her to thank him with her body. She was so angry that she
shouted, "You’d better give up. It’s absolutely impossible."
After saying that, Lily Wei shielded her collar with her hands, her expression nervous. She was getting
on her feet, ready to retaliate and leave at any time.
Seeing this, Fade Chen stepped back and then started to pile a generous amount of food into Lily
Wei’s bowl, saying," Manager Wei, what I want, is for you to eat more."
"What?" Lily Wei was still in a daze. It wasn’t the kind of request she had expected.
Fade Chen sighed and said, "Manager Wei, you have been exhausted during this period and lost a lot
of weight. So I asked you to eat more and take care of yourself. However, Manager Wei seemed to
have misunderstood my intention for something else."
"Alas, it’s hard to be a nice person!" Fade Chen touched his forehead and lamented.
Lily Wei blushed. She knew Fade Chen was teasing her, she turned her beautiful eyes and glared at
Fade Chen, then pouted, "Who allowed you to do that just now? You deserve to be misunderstood!
Humph!"
With a snort, Lily Wei picked up the food Fade Chen had put into her bowl and started eating.
