In the end, Qiao Mei left wearing the clothes which Xia Zhe bought for her from the shops. She changed into the clothes reluctantly. She did not feel like wearing them. These gray clothes were so ugly! With Xia Zhe’s good taste, it was impossible for him to buy such clothes unless he was doing it on purpose.
“You… Are you doing this on purpose! You just don’t want me to wear nice clothes!” Qiao Mei said in annoyance.
“Of course I’m doing this on purpose. I’m the only one who can admire my wife’s beauty,” Xia Zhe said smugly.
Qiao Mei had no choice but to wear the clothes which Xia Zhe bought for her. However, with Qiao Mei’s good looks, no matter how ugly the clothes were, it would still look nice on her. She looked good in anything.
Xia Zhe hugged her tightly. He did not know when they would meet again.
“If you really miss me, I can come and see you during my school break. Just let others think that the famous Miss Pu has fallen deeply in love with you,” Qiao Mei said with a smile,
“You have the children with you. I’m worried that Yang Tian will bear a grudge against you. If he investigates you all the way to that town and sees the three children, he will be able to guess our relationship, so it’s better not to take the risk,” Xia Zhe said with a troubled expression.
Qiao Mei sighed. Xia Zhe’s current mission was really too perilous. At least she now knew which city Xia Zhe was in and it was good enough that she could sense his location.
“The children and I will wait for you to come home…” Qiao Mei whispered.
“Yes, wait for me to go back,” Xia Zhe said firmly.
Xia Zhe drove Qiao Mei back to the “Sky Hotel” personally. After helping Qiao Mei pack her luggage, he sent her to the Sky City airport. His bodyguards were all dumbfounded to see that.
The two people who behaved so intimately yesterday had separated so decisively now, as if nothing had ever happened between them.
“You’ve all been staring at me the entire way. Do you have something to say?” Xia Zhe asked disdainfully.
“Boss, since you like Miss Pu so much, why don’t you keep her by your side?” Da Dong asked curiously.
Xia Zhe snorted and said, “Do I like her a lot? I just like her looks. I’ve never lacked women in my life. Besides, she doesn’t look like an indecent woman. It’ll be very troublesome if her family comes looking for her. I prefer to just pay her and ask her to go.”
Da Dong gave Xia Zhe a thumbs up in admiration and said, “That’s why you’re the boss! You really cover all bases!”
“Alright, stop trying to suck up. Let’s go back to the office,” Xia Zhe said expressionlessly.
Qiao Mei first went to North City to change flights and then took a detour around several places before returning home. As soon as she entered the house, she saw Xia Fan and Xia Xing playing with toys in the living room. The two of them already knew how to walk. During this period of time, Auntie Wang and Auntie Cui often brought the children out to take a look at the flowers and plants. This was helpful to the children’s growth.
The colorful plants outside could stimulate the children’s vision and make them think more quickly on their feet. This was all scientifically proven.
“Thank you for your hard work. I hope they didn’t cause any trouble when I wasn’t around,” Qiao Mei asked as she hugged the two children.
“Speaking of which, it’s quite strange. When my child was their age, he would cry like a pig being slaughtered and scream his lungs out if he didn’t see me. This behavior only eased after he turned three years old. Xia Fan and Xia Xing are really sensible. They don’t cry or make a fuss and they aren’t usually mischievous either,” Auntie Wang said with a smile.
“It’s all because Auntie Wang and Auntie Cui teach them well,” Qiao Mei said in satisfaction.
Xia Xing went to a corner where Qiao Mei could not see her and pouted. She thought to herself, “I’m clearly the smart and sensible one! How is it the credit of these two grandmas! Mama is so petty! She doesn’t even bother to praise me!’
Xia He carried Qiao Mei’ s luggage upstairs and the two of them went into the room. They locked the door and started whispering to each other.
“You’ve been gone for so long. Did you buy me any gift?” Xia He asked excitedly.
The corners of Qiao Mei’s mouth twitched twice. She smiled embarrassedly and said, “No…
“No? Qiao Mei, do you have any conscience! You went out to have fun and you didn’t even bring me a gift! What’s in that head of yours! Are you kidding me?” Xia He asked.
“I came back in a hurry and really didn’t buy any gifts,” Qiao Mei answered honestly..
