Chapter 1498 Red Hearts
“Behave yourself! We’re outside!” Xia Zhe said sternly.
“Then why aren’t you putting me down? Can it be that you want to do something naughty in broad daylight? Oh! I don’t expect you to be such a person!” Qiao Mei teased him with a smile.
Xia Zhe almost could not control himself from ravishing her there and then, but he still could not ignore those traditional values he held true in his heart. He was not like a certain little girl! She did not differentiate between day and night! She was totally shameless!
“Then tell me which one of your lovers sent these flowers,” Xia Zhe teased.
“Look, the yellow ones are from Brother Zhang, the pink ones from Brother Li, and the white ones from Brother Tian. There are so many of them!” Qiao Mei pointed at the flowers and started spouting nonsense.
Xia Zhe hugged Qiao Mei as he listened to all her lies. When the two of them were done teasing each other, Xia Zhe put Qiao Mei down on the sofa. He did not believe that these flowers were from so many men. He truly believed that Qiao Mei would never do anything to betray him.
“Do you think I’m stupid? These are all from Han Chen,” Xia Zhe said.
“Why ask me when you already know!” Qiao Mei said.
“I’m just testing you to see if there’s anyone else, so that I can get them all in one fell swoop! I’d rather kill 100 people by mistake than let one go!” Xia Zhe said steadfastly.
“Then how do you plan to kill Han Chen?” Qiao Mei leaned on Xia Zhe and asked curiously.
Xia Zhe had not made up his mind yet. He was on a long break this time round and definitely had enough time to clean up all such rubbish. There was a lot of time for him to slowly settle scores with those men who dared to fantasize about Qiao Mei. Now was not the time yet.
“We’ll talk about it when the time comes. First, take a look at the treasure I have brought back for you,” Xia Zhe said as he held on to the bag tightly.
Qiao Mei looked at it closely and even touched it, but she still could not figure out what it was.
“Money?”
“Gems?”
“Local specialties?”
“… What exactly is it!” Qiao Mei pouted and said unhappily.
Xia Zhe took out a big stone from the bag. Any normal woman would feel unhappy at this moment as men would usually give romantic gifts. Who would give a big stone as a gift!
However, Qiao Mei was not an ordinary woman. When she reached out to take the stone, the butterfly mark on her chest turned a little warm and she could immediately see through the surface of the stone and spot the rare red jade inside.
“Wow! This is great stuff! How did you get it!” Qiao Mei said excitedly.
“I just know that you’ll be able to recognize it for what it is. This is a stone that one of my comrade-in-arms found when we were on the mission. He’s quite an expert on this and keeps telling me about how great this stone is, so I snatched it from him,” Xia Zhe said proudly.
“I never expected you to behave like a bandit. That’s quite rare,” Qiao Mei lamented.
“Who’s a bandit! I paid a lot for it! I paid for his meals for an entire week and he’s so heartless! He spent all my bonuses on food! But it doesn’t matter, I must get my hands on whatever my wife likes!” Xia Zhe said.
Qiao Mei rewarded Xia Zhe with a kiss. Before he could react, she turned around and focused on the stone. What should she do with this stone? Should she make it into a necklace or an ornament?
Or perhaps she could make pendants for the two children! After thinking hard about it, Qiao Mei was still undecided about what to do with this stone. Since it was red jade… she would get it carved into a heart shape and put it in the office! Then she would be able to see it day and night and be reminded of Xia Zhe’s love for her.
Although it was a very old-fashioned thing to do, Qiao Mei liked the idea very much.
Qiao Mei still did not know how to activate her X-ray vision. At the moment, she had to touch objects to look inside them. Occasionally, she could also see through things which were further away, but she did not know how to control this power. She had to study it properly when she had time.
“I heard from Grandfather that you haven’t been home for a long time. Do you have a lot of work to do? Can I offer my help?” Xia Zhe asked.
“Sure, you came at the right time. Help me review some documents. There’s a pile of documents that I need to check over there. Just help me look through them and then sign them if everything looks fine,” Qiao Mei said.
“What if I get something wrong?” Xia Zhe asked.
“What’s there to be afraid of! Your wife has plenty of money! You can squander it as you please! At most, I’ll just build another factory!” Qiao Mei patted her chest and said generously.
