Chapter 2227: Couple Time
At night, Jessica walked to the door of Xia Zhe's room while wearing sexy lingerie. Xia Zhe had long guessed that Jessica would do this and had already locked the door.
All the house keys were with the butler. She could not ask the butler to open the door when she was dressed like this. If she knocked on the door forcefully, it would definitely alert the bodyguards. After thinking about it, Jessica returned to her room unhappily.
After confirming that Jessica had left, Xia Zhe went downstairs with a cup. He did not go anywhere else but headed straight to the kitchen. After making a cup of coffee, he returned to the room. All his movements were monitored by the bodyguards in the dark. Xia Zhe was trying to find out where the sentries were in the villa.
As the days passed, Qiao Mei did not receive any calls or news about Xia Zhe. She finally could not sit still anymore.
Qiao Mei immediately called Da Dong and said, "Da Dong, where is Fang Chen?"
"Miss Pu... Boss.... he's at work!" Da Dong said vaguely.
"Don't beat around the bush with me. How long has it been since he's been home? Have you seen him recently?" Qiao Mei asked nervously.
Xia Zhe had told Da Dong to take instructions from Qiao Mei when he was not around. Qiao Mei was equivalent to their second boss.
"So you already know, Miss Pu. The boss has been at Jessica's house for four days and hasn't returned yet, but he will call home regularly," Da Dong said.
At this moment, Da Dong's phone rang. He immediately said to Qiao Mei, "It's Boss calling! That's Boss's private line! Miss Pu, do you want to talk to Boss?"
"No need. Don't tell him that I called." With that, Qiao Mei hung up.
Da Dong picked up Xia Zhe's phone in a daze. Xia Zhe could tell that something was wrong with Da Dong's tone of voice and asked tactfully, "Did the doctor call when I'm not around?"
"Yes, he's concerned about your health," Da Dong quickly came back to his senses and replied.
Xia Zhe did not have a private doctor at home. Only Dr. Julie from the casino had visited his house before. Bella from the casino and Qiao Mei were very good friends, so the word "doctor" actually referred to Qiao Mei!
Da Dong was still very smart in such things. After all, he had worked for Xia Zhe for so many years and had helped him deal with many things.
Jessica kept staring at Xia Zhe. It was not convenient for Xia Zhe to ask anything else and he hung up the phone. He had a vague feeling that Qiao Mei might very well be returning to Sky City soon.
Qiao Mei packed her things quickly and prepared to say goodbye to the children. She was worried about Xia Zhe.
"Mama, are you going behind our backs to look for Papa again? Why don't you bring us along when you go out with Papa? Is it because you don't like us?" Xia Yue asked aggrievedly.
Qiao Mei hugged Xia Yue with heartache and explained, "It's not like that. Papa and Mama love you very much, but before we have all of you, Papa and Mama love each other even more. The two of us just want to have some couple time and enjoy our time together. When we're done, we'll come back. When the time comes, we'll go for a holiday together as a family, is that alright?"
"Couple time? What does that mean?" Xia Yue asked curiously.
"Papa and Mama have all of you because we are in love, right?" Qiao Mei asked.
After thinking for a while, the three children nodded seriously. Qiao Mei asked again, "So before you come along, Papa and Mama only have each other, right?"
"Yes!" Xia Yue said.
"The two of you are the fruits of our love and the embodiment of our love. The two of us want to go and relive the past, just like how you also like to think about nice things in the past, right?" Qiao Mei said.
The children were already confused by what Qiao Mei said. There were too many words that they had never heard before and they had to slowly digest the information. She would leave the task of explaining these troublesome things to Xia Wan. She had to leave the small town and go to Xia Zhe's side.
After the plane landed, Qiao Mei went to the villa on the hillside first. She had to maintain the image of "Miss Pu Nan" in Sky City and not let others become suspicious.
When Qiao Mei reached the house, she was shocked. The sports car in the garage had disappeared and the door had been removed. It was obvious that someone had broken into the house!
"Who stole my car!!!" Qiao Mei stood on the spot and shouted.
Her shouts scared off the birds in the forest behind the house. The neighbors all opened the windows and stuck their heads out to look at her. A man ran out of the villa next door and stood beside her as he said in surprise, "You must be Miss Pu!"
Anyone who stood next to Qiao Mei would be stunned by her beauty. This was the first time this man had seen Qiao Mei in person and he could not take his eyes off her for a moment.
