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 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..
