Chapter 1716 A Big Bad Wolf at Home

"I'm back. Why are all of you looking so worried? Did Eldest Aunt make things difficult for you?" Xia Wen asked. n./0velB1n

"Of course something big has happened! It's a big bad wolf targeting you! We are unable to protect you! You'll be eaten up by the big bad wolf very soon!" Xia He said with a sigh.

Xia Wen roughly had an idea of what had happened at home recently. He knew that his family members had already done many things for him and that there were some things that needed to be settled as soon as possible.

"Mother, when will Father have some free time?" Xia Wen asked Xu Lan with a serious look.

"Your father is quite free recently, he's no longer that busy anymore. I'm idle at home every day and have a lot of free time. But why are you asking this?" Xu Lan asked.

"I'm thinking... I would like you to go to the Mo family with me to formally propose marriage. I know that in this era, the matter is confirmed once we send the betrothal gifts and whatnots, but it's a second marriage for me. I want Mo Zhu to marry into our family in a proper and grand manner and also let the Mo family feel at ease, so I might have to trouble both of you to accompany me there," Xia Wen said hesitantly.

On the way home, Xia Zhe kept staring at Qiao Mei. Now that she knew how to drive, he let her drive so that she could practice more. If there was anything she did wrong, he could also give her pointers in time. He did not expect her to be able to drive for so long without making any mistakes. He could only use the word "perfect" to describe her driving.

This time round, it had been a very difficult pregnancy for Qiao Mei. They did not know if the pregnancy was stable or if the baby was developing well. Xia Zhe did not even dare to think about doing anything intimate with Qiao Mei.

"Mei Mei, since we're back, let's get you to Aunt's place for a checkup," Xia Zhe said.

"Huh? But I'm fine? Why do we have to go and look for Aunt?" Qiao Mei asked curiously.

"Isn't it better to play safe? It's good for both you and the baby. The rest of the family will also feel more at ease. They don't know what's going on and they are very worried about your health," Xia Zhe said, trying to persuade her in a tactful manner.

"Hmm... Alright then. Let's go for a checkup just before we leave. There have been too many issues recently and I just want to stay at home for a while longer," Qiao Mei said after thinking for a long time.

"Alright, we'll do it your way," Xia Zhe said, feeling satisfied.

The two of them arrived home safely and had a good night's sleep. The next morning, Xia Zhe accompanied Qiao Qiang out to exercise. Qiao Qiang had recently created a set of "fist techniques" to strengthen his body. Many of the old men and women in the park were his disciples and Qiao Qiang went to train with them every day.

Xia Zhe decided to play along with Qiao Qiang today. Whatever Qiao Qiang liked to do, he would like it too.
