The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 4553

The moment Uncle Zhong stepped out of airport customs this afternoon, he and Liu Jiahui were showing off their swords, much to his wife’s surprise. Everything seemed fine.

However, Charlie Wade didn’t want Liu Manqiong to be there. After spending a couple of days together, he had grown fond of her and didn’t want her to witness any conflict between him and her father.

Additionally, Charlie had some secrets about why he was visiting Hong Kong Island, especially regarding Liu Jiahui, and he didn’t want to reveal those in front of Liu Manqiong. His plan was to resolve everything at the airport and then cut ties with the Liu family. He intended for his relationship with Liu Manqiong to end after their meal together.

Liu Manqiong was unaware of Charlie’s thoughts. She had hoped to spend more time with him, regardless of who they were picking up. But when she learned that Charlie didn’t want her with him, she nodded and said, “I have to go back to Tsim Sha Tsui after dinner, so I won’t join you.”

“Alright,” Liu Jiahui replied, smiling. “If Mr. Ye’s friends want to stay at our house, we’ll have a family dinner tonight, and you can come then.”

Liu Manqiong quickly turned to Charlie and asked, “Mr. Ye, are you still planning to go to the snack street tonight?”

Charlie didn’t give a direct answer. “Let’s see how things go this afternoon,” he said.

“Okay,” Liu Manqiong understood that with guests coming, there might be changes to their plans.

Charlie Wade had to postpone his plan to go to Snack Street with Liu Manqiong. He told her, “I will wait for your message in the afternoon.”

“Sounds good,” she replied.

…

At 1 p.m., after finishing lunch, Charlie Wade and Liu Jiahui’s family walked out of the restaurant together. Liu Jiahui turned to his wife, Fang Jiaxin, and said, “You should take a car by yourself. I’ll ride with Mr. Ye.”

Fang Jiaxin agreed right away, “Okay, I’ll take the car in front.”

Charlie then said to Liu Manqiong, “Miss Manqiong, please be careful on the road.”

Liu Manqiong nodded and smiled at him. “Mr. Ye, remember to give me a reply this afternoon.”

“No problem,” he replied.

As Liu Manqiong got into a Tesla, Charlie felt a wave of sadness and reluctance. He realized that whether he left Hong Kong Island after finishing his work or not, Liu Manqiong would eventually discover the true reason for his visit. When that happened, she might feel hurt and think he had just been pretending these past few days or even deceiving her.

Charlie didn’t want to cause her any pain, but he also knew that solving Uncle Zhong’s problems without hurting Liu Manqiong was likely impossible. Regardless of her relationship with her father, the truth would still disappoint her.

At that moment, Charlie regretted accepting Liu Jiahui’s invitation to stay at their house. If he hadn’t gone there, he wouldn’t be in this complicated situation.

Liu Manqiong was feeling a mix of emotions. Now that the boat was finished, she realized that even if she had second thoughts, there was no going back. She had to move forward.
