Chapter 1497 Watch Over

Zhou Sheng sat in his wheelchair and slowly peeped out from the bedroom door. When he saw Xia Zhe, tears welled up in his eyes. His health had been very poor recently and he almost could not make it through the last winter. If not for Qiao Mei coming to visit him from time to time, he would probably be long gone by now.

"Xiao Zhe! Come here!" Zhou Sheng shouted weakly.

"Grandpa Zhou, what happened to you?" Xia Zhe asked Zhou Sheng with a slight frown.

"It's nothing... I'm just getting old. Everyone has to go through this eventually. It's fine," Zhou Sheng said.

"Grandpa Zhou, you still have to play with my children. Don't you want to see Xia Fan and Xia Xing grow up?" Xia Zhe said as he held back the tears in his eyes.

Zhou Sheng looked at the courtyard as if he was imagining Xia Fan and Xia Xing playing there. He did not know if his body could hold on until then.

Qiao Qiang and Zhou Sheng chatted inside the house. Xia Zhe went home and rummaged through the remaining bottles of medicinal wine in Qiao Mei's study. Back then, Qiao Mei had left him three bottles of golden medicinal wine. He had used one bottle and still had two bottles left, but the medicinal effect of the golden liquid was very strong. Qiao Mei had once told him not to use it unless absolutely necessary.

Grandma Lan nodded and accepted the medicine which Xia Zhe brought. After Zhou Sheng saw Xia Zhe, he seemed much better and his complexion also looked more rosy. Xia Zhe and Qiao Qiang had lunch with Zhou Sheng before leaving.

In the afternoon, Xia Zhe went to Qiao Mei's factory with a gift for her. When he was in the mountain area, the troops had found a very beautiful stone. His comrades told him that it was a piece of beautiful jade which would definitely turn out to be very beautiful once polished by a craftsman.

Xia Zhe knew that Qiao Mei liked such things, so he shamelessly asked his comrades to let him have it. The price was to treat his comrades to all their meals for an entire week.

When Xia Zhe pushed open the door to Qiao Mei's office, his expression turned dour. It was obvious that the flowers inside had been sent by someone else. This was because he knew that Qiao Mei liked sunflowers and all these colorful flowers in front of him were nothing that she liked.

"Xia Zhe!!!" Qiao Mei jumped up from the chair excitedly and ran into Xia Zhe's arms. Xia Zhe caught her steadily.

"Little girl, are you attracting unwanted attention again?" Xia Zhe said as he pretended to be angry.

Qiao Mei said smugly, "Why? You're allowed to have so many rotten romantic encounters outside, yet other men can't woo me?"

Xia Zhe reached out and slapped Qiao Mei's backside forcefully. As she tried to dodge him , she kept rubbing against his body. He had been celibate after she became pregnant, so it was hard for him to stay calm as she did that.
