Chapter 7
At the thought of this, Quin Lin’s gaze turns a little strange and her expression changed.
Upon seeing this, Lily Wei said, "Quin, you are really on the wrong side in this matter. Perhaps, you
should apologize to Doctor Chen."
"Apologize?!" This word appeared in Quin Lin’s mind. Quin Lin was suddenly filled by an urge; she felt
like getting up to chase after Fade Chen. Quin Lin wanted to apologize to Fade Chen and to ask for his
forgiveness.
However, as soon as the thought surfaced in her mind, it was held back by Quin Lin.
Due to her personality and identity, Quin Lin could not see herself doing that.
In the end, Quin Lin could only sigh softly and said, "I know. I am indeed at fault. The punishment for
Fade Chen will be cancelled immediately."
"But, as for Doctor Chen.." Lily Wei reminded her.
Quin Lin replied in a serious tone, "Manager Wei, I have something else to do. You may go first!"
Lily Wei paused for a moment, then nodded and left, "Yes, President Lin."
In the large office, there was only Quin Lin now. Quin Lin sat quietly on the executive chair, her mind
was in a mess." was wrong. I have to apologize to that man. But, but."
Quin Lin's mind was running wild before she suddenly remembered what Fade Chen had told her at
noon, "Fade Chen had told me that Secretary Qin, is this really—"
Quin Lin's expression became gloomy instantly.
After her working hour ended, Quin Lin did not work overtime, unlike how she usually would; she chose
to return home on time instead.
Quin Lin sat on the sofa, thinking of how to face and apologize to Fade Chen when he came back.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPerhaps, it was a very simple thing for most people, but for Quin Lin, it was something very difficult.
‘ Maybe, it's more meaningful to prove it with action! Quin Lin was not good with her words. Suddenly,
Quin Lin thought of a method to apologize to Fade Chen. Quin Lin rushed into the kitchen and said to
Housekeeper Wong, who was preparing dinner, ‘Auntie Wong, you may have a rest today.
I'll prepare dinner."
‘Ah, this - Housekeeper Wong was a little surprised, ‘What's the matter, Miss ?‘ ‘ No, nothing. I just
want to have a try!" Quin Lin tried to cover it up.
Two hours later, Quin Lin, who had messed up the kitchen, finally made six dishes with the help of
Housekeeper Wong.
Quin Lin felt uneasy when she placed these six bad-looking dishes on the table. At the same time, Quin
Lin looked out of the door expectantly, waiting for Fade Chen's return.
It was getting dark and it had been three hours since their working hours ended but Fade Chen was not
back yet. Quin Lin couldn't help but to start pondering about Fade Chen's whereabouts.
‘Why hasn't Fade Chen come back yet? Was he involved in an accident on the way back?"
"Or, was he hurt badly by me, so he left directly?"
Half an hour later, Fade Chen still had not returned yet.
Housekeeper Wong looked at Quin Lin, whose face was full of disappointment, and said, "Miss, why
don't you eat first? When Sir comes back, I'll prepare a meal for him."
Although Housekeeper Wong was very curious of Sir's sudden appearance in this household, she was
very familiar with Quin Lin's character and knew too well not to ask much. Housekeeper Wong just
vaguely guessed that Quin Lin's abnormal behaviour today must had something to do with Mister.
Quin Lin looked at the completely darkened sky outside. She sighed softly and whispered in her heart,
"Has he really left?"
"Housekeeper Wong, I don't have an appetite. I'll just skip dinner tonight.", Quin Lin then stood up and
went upstairs to her room.
"Miss, this—" Housekeeper Wong sighed, her face full of distress and helplessness.
After another half an hour, Housekeeper Wong looked at the dishes that has already been heated
twice. She could not help sighing and was ready to clean up the bowls and chopsticks.
Just then, the sound of footsteps was heard coming from the door. It was Fade Chen who had came
back.
"Sir, you have finally come back," Housekeeper Wong hurriedly greeted him. Housekeeper Wong saw
Fade Chen sweating profusely and asked in surprise, "Sir, what has happened to you?
Fade Chen gave Housekeeper Wong a smile but he did not explain further, "Housekeeper Wong, I’m
fine."
In fact, Fade Chen himself could not explain this situation either. After Fade Chen got off work today, he
realised that he did not know the way back home.
The night before yesterday, when he had just arrived at Bay City, Fade Chen had spent the night in the
hotel with Quin Lin. Yesterday, they went to the Civil Affairs Bureau together before going back to Quin
Lin’s villa. This morning, they went to the company together.
Quin Lin had been the one driving for the past two days, and he just ride along.
However, Quin Lin drove back home from the company straight after work today. Fade Chen was alone
and he did not know where the villa was located at.
Finally, with a vague memory of the location of the villa in his mind and as a luxury neighbourhood was
not very common in Bay City, Fade Chen finally found the villa after asking the locals. He was now
covered in sweat after walking a long journey back.
However, it wouldn’t matter now. After all, Fade Chen had decided to leave after tonight.
"Sir, please wash your face. I’ll heat up the dishes for you, "Housekeeper Wong said.
Fade Chen nodded. When Fade Chen saw the food on the table, he was stunned. "Auntie Wong, did
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyou cook this ?"
Fade Chen had tasted Housekeeper Wong’s cooking yesterday. Even if it was not comparable to a five-
star hotel dish, the cooking skills of ordinary restaurants were definitely not as good as that of
Housekeeper Wong’s. However, the dishes on the table now, be it the appearance or other aspects,
was far different from yesterday.
Housekeeper Wong picked up the dishes and explained, "Sir, the dishes today were not cooked by me.
It was Miss who had cooked them."
"What? Quin Lin made them?" Fade Chen was really shocked. Fade Chen had always assumed the
president who had a cold personality in the eye of the public would not know how to cook.
Housekeeper Wong continued, ‘Sir, I don’t know what happened to Miss today. She looked distraught
when she came back from work. She even insisted on preparing dinner by herself. It took a lot of effort
for her to make dinner, but you didn’t come back. Miss waited here for a long time and didn’t eat
anything as she was waiting for you. She just went upstairs without eating."
‘What, this, this is for me.‘ Fade Chen’s eyes widened and looked incredibly surprised. He couldn’t help
but look up and stare at Quin Lin’s room.
At this moment, Fade Chen’s heart was in a turmoil, ‘Could it be because of what happened this
afternoon? That’s why she.."
‘Sir, please wait for a moment. I’ll heat up the dishes for you.‘ Housekeeper Wong said.
Fade Chen quickly reached out and grabbed Housekeeper Wong before saying, ‘Housekeeper Wong,
it’s fine, I’ll just eat it."
‘But the food has already turned cold," Housekeeper Wong said.
"Never mind "Fade Chen smiled, picked up the cold food and started to devour them.
Although the food was cold and they did not taste that good, Fade Chen felt warmth from them.
That night, Fade Chen slept soundly
