Chapter 1165 Doting On His Wife



Everyone sat on the sofa and looked at one another. Xu Lan and the others kept wondering if they should mention Qiao Mei in front of Xia Zhe, while Xia Zhe wondered why they suddenly stopped talking to him. He wondered if there was something that they found difficult to talk about.

"Um… let's… let's eat first! Sister Xiu has been so tired for so many days! I specially made chicken soup today!" Liu Fen said with a smile.

Everyone hurriedly took their seats at the table. Xia Mao and Xia Wen also came down from upstairs. Both of them looked very tired.

"This soup is quite delicious. Second Aunt-in-law, do you have any more? Ask Luo Yu to send some to Qiao Mei and both grandfathers later," Xia Zhe said as he drank the soup.

"Of course! I've already prepared their portions in the thermal containers! I'll get Luo Yu to send them over now!" Liu Fen ran to the kitchen to take the meal containers and went out to look for Luo Yu. She repeatedly reminded him to drive steadily and not to spill anything. This was chicken soup that she had boiled and simmered for an entire morning! There were even some ginseng roots inside! It was very nourishing food!

At the dining table, everyone was silent. Given that the matter was not resolved yet, everyone had their own troubles weighing on their minds.

Xia He was worried about Xia Zhe's health. She was concerned that Xia Zhe would always relay good news to them but not the bad. If he was badly injured but did not take it seriously, it would be too late for regrets in the future. Xia Wen, on the other hand, was worried about Xia He. After all, Xia He was only released upon Xia Xiu's request. There was still insufficient evidence to exonerate her and he did not know when he would be able to find enough evidence.

There were even more worries in Xia Zhe's mind. Qiao Mei had already been hurt to such an extent. He must make everyone who harmed her pay the price. Even if it was a member of this family, he would not look past any wrongdoings. He would definitely find out who this parasite of the Xia family was.

The room meant for Qiao Mei was disinfected and sterilized every day. Considering that Xia Zhe's health condition was currently unknown, it was not a good idea for him to use the room in case he was infected with any viruses. Xu Lan did not want Qiao Mei and the children to fall sick and would not allow the slightest possibility of any virus being near them.

Xia Mao always advised her to be less tensed up. He told her that if children did not experience some storms when they were young, they would grow up to be like flowers in a greenhouse, i.e. easily withered under the sun. It was better to let children grow up to be like the indestructible pine trees which grew in the border province.

"Have a good rest after dinner. Everyone is tired. Xia Zhe, don't use the bedroom meant for you and Qiao Mei. Just make do in the guest room for a few days," Xia Mao said.I think you should take a look at

In the end, Xia Mao could not win the argument with Xu Lan. After all, she was his wife and he had to listen to her. Otherwise, they would just end up arguing non-stop at night. He was most scared of her tears. The moment she cried, he would agree to anything, even if it was an extremely unreasonable request.

When Xu Lan was pregnant with Xia He, she had a craving for watermelon. However, where could he find watermelons for Xu Lan right in the middle of winter? Moreover, she could eat a lot during that time and could finish one watermelon a day! She had a huge appetite.

After she ate watermelons for four consecutive days, Xia Mao issued an order that watermelons were not allowed to appear at home for the time being and that they should buy something else for her. In the end, she wept until midnight and insisted on eating watermelons, saying that she would die with the baby if she could not have any. He had no choice but to head out of the capital late at night to buy watermelons for her.

Just like that, the night passed quietly. Early the next morning, Xia Zhe went into the study. He wanted to catch up with everything that had happened during this period of time when he was not around.

The Xia family had a team of specially trained spies, but Xia Zhe was different. Xia Zhe had his own team of spies. Although there were only three people in his team, they were all extremely outstanding. Xia Zhe did not usually need them to do much. They traveled around and took on other jobs during the lull period.

They always felt like they were unemployed vagrants. Their employer did not give them any tasks, so they had to go out and find their own work.

It was time for him to activate them.

No one dared to go to the study to disturb Xia Zhe. Anyway, there was no immediate urgency to deal with Cheng Gu. All the Xia family members were in this house now. They were safe unless Cheng Gu was bold enough to rush into the neighborhood and die together with them.

"Just put food outside the study door so that Xia Zhe can eat when he is hungry. He knows what he's doing," Xia Xiu said.

"Really? I'm concerned that he'll starve," Xu Lan said worriedly.
