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. Fatty, 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.
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.
