When Qiao Mei saw Xia Zhe’s car, she quickly ran over. In order to prevent passers-by from seeing her in the car, she hid in the back seat. She laughed and said, “When are you going to hire a chauffeur so that you can sit in the back seat with me.”
“Then we’ll probably have to ask the higher-ups to transfer Eldest Brother over here. There are some things that I have to do myself. I don’t have a strong foundation here, so I worry that people I hire will switch sides for the sake of benefits,” Xia Zhe said resignedly.
“It’s only when I saw Jessica today that I understood what the word gorgeous means. It’s just that I have this nagging feeling that their family has some sort of unspeakable secret, and that Jessica doesn’t like you as much as rumored. It seems that she wants something else from you,” Qiao Mei said gravely.
“They are a family of snakes and I know what they are up to, but you can’t stay in Sky City for too long,” Xia Zhe said.
“Why! I just came to Sky City and you want me to leave!” Qiao Mei said as she looked at Xia Zhe in shock.
“That guy Daniel is not as nice as he looks. Now that you’re entangled with his family, I’m worried that they will do something bad to you. Moreover, I found out that He Ning has also arrived in Sky City. He definitely has ill intentions towards me,” Xia Zhe said.
Each of these issues was a very troublesome matter on its own. Although Qiao Mei had an idea that Xia Zhe would encounter difficulties in Country M, she did not expect he would need to deal with so many dangerous and troublesome situations. It would be difficult for him to cope when he was being attacked from all sides.
“I can stay here and help you,” Qiao Mei said.
“You can indeed help me, but not by staying in Sky City. I think… you are the only one who can help me chase He Ning away and make him return to our home country,” Xia Zhe said.
“Isn’t this just a simple matter? Leave it to me!” Qiao Mei said.
The two of them drove to the secret VIP passageway of the “Sky Hotel”. This route was specially prepared for VIPs who did not want anyone to know their whereabouts. No one ever knew how many people were at “Sky Hotel” at any one time.
Such a service was very expensive. Every year, the amount of cash they earned from protecting VIPs’ privacy was enough to fill up an entire house!
Xia Zhe did not tell Qiao Mei too much about the mission. He only told Qiao Mei about his personal worries and concerns in detail. Qiao Mei also knew the importance of these matters to Xia Zhe and their country. Even though she felt aggrieved, she still had to look at the bigger picture.
“After you’re done with these matters, you must come back to visit the children and I. The children miss you very much,” Qiao Mei said as she lay in Xia Zhe’s arms.
“I will,” Xia Zhe said firmly.
Qiao Mei looked at Xia Zhe tenderly and he suddenly felt that his wife was the gentlest and most considerate person in the world. There was no one who could be better than her. She smiled when he told her that.
“You’re probably the only person in the world who thinks that I’m gentle. You don’t know what outsiders say about me. They say that I’m arrogant, despotic and disrespectful. They even say that I’m an unfilial daughter and that I’m vicious and nasty. I’m simply a shrew!” Qiao Mei said agitatedly.
“That’s because they have no taste! They don’t know anything! You are right to fight back. If they didn’t provoke you first, how would we even know those people exist? Why would we get involved with those people? They say all these things out of jealousy. Don’t listen to them and don’t take their words to heart,” Xia Zhe said.
“Really? Have you forgotten what I looked like when I first married you? Don’t tell me you already like me back then?” Qiao Mei asked with a laugh.
Xia Zhe was unable to lie to Qiao Mei. In the beginning, it was true that he thought that they were not a good match. However, later on, he gradually got to know her character. The two of them wrote to each other often and started to develop feelings for each other. During that time, he fell deeply in love with her. It did not matter what the person writing the letters looked like anymore. What was important was her feelings for him.
“Since you’re such a sweet talker, I forgive you! The night is precious! Let’s not waste it!” After saying that, Qiao Mei snuggled into Xia Zhe’s arms and the two of them had a passionate night together. Qiao Mei only fell asleep nearing dawn.
Xia Zhe still had a lot of work to do at the office, plus he could not be seen entering and exiting “Sky Hotel” with Qiao Mei, so he left early in the morning.
Qiao Mei got dressed and realized that the marks on her neck could not be covered up using makeup. She still had important things to do today, so she had no choice but to take out the ginseng juice and slowly apply it on the love bites and swollen spots. When she went back to the capital, she definitely had to concoct an ointment! One that could make all these marks disappear once she applied it!
Qiao Mei drove the car which Daniel gifted her to the hotel where He Ning was staying at. The moment she entered, she saw him in a corner, about to have his meal.
