Chapter 81
Twenty minutes later, Fade Chen arrived at the KTV, without stopping, he ran all the way towards his wife's private KTV room. Fade Chen had just reached the first floor where the private room was when suddenly, someone cried in surprise, "Brother Fade, why are you here!"
Fade Chen stopped in his tracks and turned around to see a chubby, young man with ginger yellow hair coming up to him with a smile. It was Huang, the man he met at a match with Horace Wan.
"Fatty Huang, oh it's you! Why are you also here?" Fade Chen greeted him.
Huang smiled and pointed behind him, saying, "Brother Fade, I'm having a gathering with my colleagues. Why don't you come and join us?"
Fade Chen took a quick glance at the group of about eight people behind Fatty Huang. Amongst them were quite a number of young men and women, some of them were middle-aged. It seemed like they were Huang's circle of friends from the media.
At ordinary times, Fade Chen would be more than willing to join them but today was not the day as he had something more urgent to do. Without wasting much time, Fade Chen waved and smiled. "No thanks. My friend is waiting inside. I will go first. Fat, you have a good time."
"Okay, Brother Fade you too have fun." Huang smiled and waved. He watched Fade Chen entered a private room before he put down his hand and walked to the private room next to him.
The group of friends behind Fatty Huang couldn't help but look in the direction Fade Chen was heading with much curiosity.
Someone whispered, "Who is that person? Do you know him?"
"I don't know! I haven't seen him before!"
"Could he be from a wealthy family? Otherwise, Master Huang wouldn't be so polite to him. He wasn't angry even when he was called Fatty Huang."
"It doesn't seem like it. We know almost every rich and famous guy in Bay City. I have no impression of this guy!"
"No matter who he is, since he gained the respect of Master Huang, he should be someone important. You know what to do if you meet him in the future."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Master Huang has gone in, let's all go in. Remember to be smart in front of Master Huang. If Master Huang is happy, he will be our news agency's savior." A middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader of the pack explained to his young colleagues.
At this juncture, they stopped discussing and followed the rest into the private room. Soon, Fatty Huang's blood curdling cries echoed through the room. At the same time, there were enthusiastic applause and cheers. People passing by all wondered if something was wrong with the hearing of the people in the private room. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
At Fade Chen's side, it was the sight of Momo Soo holding the microphone, singing and dancing when he pushed through the private room door. Her sweet voice, together with her youthful and lively figure, made Fade Chen's eyes sparkled.
Momo Soo also noticed Fade Chen. She stopped singing and pouted, saying, "Brother-in-law, you're finally here."
"I'm here! I'm here!" Fade Chen grinned and then gave Momo Soo an inquisitive look to probe on Quin Lin's mood.
Momo narrowed her eyes and smiled. Then she pulled Fade Chen to where Quin Lin was seated on the sofa. "Sis, brother in-law is here."
"I see, * Quin Lin responded vaguely without looking at Fade Chen. Although she looked calm, Fade Chen could see that she was unhappy.
Fade Chen immediately cast a pleading look at Momo Soo to which, the young girl shrugged and flashed him a helpless look. She wrapped her arms around herself and smiled watching the drama.
Fade Chen glared at Momo, he forced a smile and sat down besides Quin Lin. "Honey, I'm so sorry for being late," he pleaded.
"Oh it's nothing, I'm just here to hang out with Momo casually," Quin Lin said emotionlessly, still refusing to look at Fade Chen.
Fade Chen Fei suddenly felt apprehensive and helpless.
At this moment, Momo Soo couldn't stand it anymore, she said, "Brother-in-law, today is my sister's birthday. How about you sing a song for my sister to wish her happy birthday?"
Fade Chen's eyes brightened up upon hearing Momo's suggestion. He nodded quickly and grabbed the microphone. Then he let out a small cough, cleared his throat, ignored the song selection in the process and turned towards Quin Lin affectionately. He lowered his voice and said in a deep voice, "Today is my beloved woman's birthday. So, I want to express my feelings with a song."
Next, Fade Chen tilted his head in forty-five degrees upwards, closed his eyes, and swayed with the rhythm.
He looked like the prince of love songs. For a moment, Momo Soo was in a daze. Even Quin Lin's eyes lit up and she couldn't help stealing a few glances at Fade Chen.
When it all felt just right, Fade Chen began to sing. As soon as he opened his mouth, the affectionate atmosphere instantly dissipated.
"I love you, loving you, just like the mouse loves his rice..."
Momo Soo slapped her forehead and lowered her head. "Brother-in-law, can you be more old- fashioned than this? Singing this outdated and cheesy song in front of my sis."
Even Quin Lin couldn't help twitching her eyes. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him anymore.
However, Fade Chen was completely oblivious and immersed in the song. He howled throughout the whole song. After the song, Fade Chen immediately moved to other classic songs such as "Two Butterflies", "The Wolf Falls in Love with the Sheep" and so on.
The deafening singing shocked the two beauties in the private room, that they actually forgot to stop him.
Several songs later, Fade Chen suddenly noticed something outside the door. He put down the microphone and rushed out of the door. A few seconds later, he rushed back in again with his hands behind his back, as if he had something to hide.
Once the singing stopped, Momo came to her senses. She looked at Fade Chen and said, "Brother-in- law, what are you hiding behind your back?" As she was speaking, the young girl went around Fade Chen's back, curious of what it was.
Fade Chen moved to his side to prevent Momo Soo from peeking and said solemnly, "Momo, no peeking. This is a birthday present for my dearest wife.
After he said that, Fade Chen walked towards Quin Lin, looked at her affectionately and said, "Dear, today is your birthday. This is a bouquet of flowers to represent my blessing to you."
While speaking, Fade Chen took out the bouquet and handed them to Quin Lin.
Beside him, Momo Soo looked at the so-called "flowers" and burst into laughter. "Brother-in-law, this is your so-called flowers? This is a bunch of vegetables. Who gives vegetables as a birthday present?"
"Vegetables are flowers too! No one says that you can't give vegetables for birthday." Fade Chen said oh-so seriously. "What's more, I have carefully picked this "flower bouquet" myself, to show my sincerity and as a token of my love to my wife."
"Brother-in-law, are you saying that you wish for my sister to be as unattractive as these vegetables?" Momo Soo said.
