Chapter 1705 Paying a Visit Again

"I swear! I will definitely cherish Qiao Mei! I won't let her get hurt in any way! I won't let Qiao Mei down either." Xia Zhe raised three fingers and made an oath.

"I'm relieved to hear that..." Liu Yun smiled happily. She was already a little drunk and wanted to continue talking to Xia Zhe. Seeing that it was getting late though, Liu Dong decided to bring her home. He carried her on his back and walked back slowly. Before he left, he even apologized to Xia Zhe and Qiao Mei. n./o/-V)(e/(L./b)-I-/n

"This is the first time I know that Sister-in-law Liu sees me as such an important person in her life. I thought that they are just going through the motions and there is no sincerity involved. It seems that I'm the small-minded person with the nasty thoughts," Qiao Mei lamented as she looked at the spot where Liu Yun was sitting just now.

"You have to believe in your charm. Many people like and love you. It's not your fault that you're more careful. Don't talk about yourself like that," Xia Zhe said as he hugged Qiao Mei.

"Whatever you say is true too. There are indeed many people who like me and also many people who are wooing me! You have to be careful! What if someone steals me one day?" Qiao Mei said as she looked at Xia Zhe smugly.

Xia Zhe frowned slightly and said, "No! You can only be mine! No one can take you away!"

Qiao Mei reached out to smoothen Xia Zhe's furrowed brows and said, "I'm just teasing you. Why are you so serious?"

Zhuang Zhuang seemed to play along by crying out twice. Qiao Mei stared at Miao Le for a long time before letting out a helpless sigh and letting her enter the house. Xia Fan and Xia Xing were still sleeping, so Qiao Mei did not let Miao Le into the east room. Instead, she asked Miao Le to stay in the west room to coax Zhuang Zhuang.

Seeing Miao Le sitting obediently on the brick bed seemingly without any other thoughts, Qiao Mei returned to the east room and changed into a set of clothes made from rough linen. She still had to continue building the fence today!

Xia Zhe had already bought breakfast for Qiao Mei before he went out. Today, the breakfast truck had soy milk and steamed buns for sale. In order to keep the steamed buns warm, Xia Zhe packed them in an iron lunch box and wrapped a towel tightly around the lunch box to prevent the heat from escaping too quickly.

It was only because of this that Miao Le did not see the buns and Qiao Mei could hide comfortably in the room and eat them.

Actually, Qiao Mei was also feeling very annoyed. This was clearly her house but she actually had to eat breakfast secretly. It was really unacceptable to her.

However, what could she do even if she could not accept it? She must think of a way to chase Miao Le away completely.

As usual, Qiao Mei made mushy vegetables and steamed egg for Zhuang Zhuang. After Qiao Mei fed Xia Fan and Xia Xing, she did not bother whether Zhuang Zhuang had finished eating or not. She simply locked the door of the east room before going to the backyard to build the fence.

Xia Fan and Xia Xing knew how to sit obediently on the brick bed and play by themselves. They would not crawl down to the floor. This was something Qiao Mei discovered after testing them many times. In the beginning, Qiao Mei was still worried that the two children would accidentally touch the wires while playing. She did not expect the two of them to be very smart and would not touch anything dangerous. Even if someone gave something dangerous to them, they would throw it away.

Qiao Mei also taught them not to eat things given to them by strangers. She told them to tell her if they really wanted to eat something and she would buy it for them. They tried their best to follow her instructions. Even Xia Fan, the little foodie, tried his best to do it.
