Charlie returned with the mobile phone case, flipping through the episode on the device, but he remained confused about the entire situation. Meanwhile, Mia was overwhelmed with emotions, crying like pear blossoms in the rain—though for what reason, no one could say.<fnb4d5> Read full story at find·novel</fnb4d5>
At that moment, the vendors lining the snack street showcased their warm hospitality, presenting a table filled with an array of delicious treats for the three of them.
Thus, the trio silently agreed to put the earlier incident behind them and engaged in light conversation while enjoying their food.
As they dined, Mia nced up at Charlie and inquired, “Mr. Wade, when do you n to head back?” Charlie replied casually, “Tomorrow night. I hope your dad has resolved the issue with the vi next door. If that’s the case, I can leave after Uncle Arman’s family moves in.”
Mia felt a tinge of disappointment and couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Wade, don’t you want to spend a few more days here on Hong Kong Ind?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
“No,” Charlie replied with a slight smile. “My wife is waiting for me back in the United States, so I can’t stay here too long.”
Now that Mia had epted that Charlie was married, her demeanor remained mostly unchanged. She simply nodded and asked, “Mr. Wade, I assumed you were from the maind.”
Charlie chuckled, “I’ve lived in the maind before, but my wife recently went to the United States for a training program. I apanied her, and once the training concludes, I’ll return to the maind.”
Mia nodded thoughtfully before turning to Fei Kexin. “Miss Fei, are you going back too?”
“Yes,” Fei Kexin confirmed. “I’ll be flying back with Mr. Wade, and we can chat during the flight.”
Mia nodded again, her earlier questions now settled, and she smiled gently, “I wish you both a safe journey in advance. If you find yourself back on Hong Kong Ind in the future, please reach out to me.”
Charlie and Fei Kexin agreed, but Charlie understood that unless there was a reason to return, he likely wouldn’t visit Hong Kong Ind again.
He held a favorable impression of Mia, a girl whose life experiences resonated with him. However, Charlie was also acutely aware of the emotionalplexities he faced, having already rued more than a few romantic entanglements, such as with Stefanie Sun, Jasmine Moore, and Ito Nanako. Thus, he instinctively kept some distance from other girls.
For instance, with Fei Kexin, he wouldn’t have reached out if he hadn’t needed her assistance.
As for Mia, Charlie genuinely hoped for her sess in life, wishing to support her in preserving the snack street that held great significance for her. He hoped to leave her with something that could save her in a moment of need—a small token of goodwill.
After their meal, noticing the time was already nine in the evening, Charlie said to Mia, “It’s gettingte. We should wrap up for today, and Miss Mia, you should get some rest.”
Mia nodded and asked, “How will you and Miss Fei get back to the hotel? Do you need a ride?”
Fei Kexin smiled and replied, “I’ll drive. I’ll take Mr. Wade back.”
Mia nodded again, though a hint of unease lingered. She said to Charlie, “Mr. Wade, I’ll be at home tomorrow. If you’re attending Uncle Arman’s housewarming ceremony, you can find me there.”
“Sounds good,” Charlie responded. “Just contact me tomorrow.”
With that, the three of them left the snack street and made their way to the parking lot.
Charlie climbed into the Rolls-Royce driven by Fei Kexin, while Mia settled into her Te.
After exchanging farewells, Fei Kexin drove out of the parking lot, but Mia lingered a bit longer. She pulled out her phone and typed into the search engine: “What universities are in Aurous Hill?”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
