Chapter 440: Interaction Between a Couple

Liu Fen took two bites and was full of praise for the braised fish in front of her.

“Qiao Mei, I’ve also watched you cook this dish before. Why isn’t it so delicious when I make it myself? It’s really strange. Do you have any secret recipe that you can teach me?” Liu Fen asked as she wolfed down the food.

“Hahaha, I don’t have any secret recipes. It must be because Second Aunt-in-law had bought really fresh fish. It’s all thanks to Second Aunt-in-law,” Qiao Mei said.

“Look at that, it’s like your mouth is laced with honey! How likable! Xia He, you should learn from her. If you’re as capable as Qiao Mei, how can your mother-in-law not like you?” Liu Fen looked at Xia He and criticized her.

“Me? I’m not going back.” Xia He looked at Liu Fen expressionlessly.

When Liu Fen heard this, she immediately put down her chopsticks and looked at Xia He. “Do you think that’s appropriate? How can a woman not stay at home? Do you really want to live your life alone?”

Sometimes, Liu Fen was really nice and sometimes, she really made people speechless. Qiao Mei quickly grabbed Xia He and prepared to escape from this hellish scene. Otherwise, with Xia He’s temper, the two of them would definitely start a quarrel.

“Second Aunt-in-law, I’m going out for a walk with elder sister. Take your time and eat!” After saying that to Liu Fen, Qiao Mei looked at Xia Zhe and said, “Don’t follow us. It’s my ‘couple time’ with elder sister today. You can stay at home and clean up the house!”

Xia Zhe looked at Qiao Mei dotingly and said, “Then don’t go too far.”

“Xiao Zhe! Are you going to let them go out just like that! Qiao Mei is pregnant. It’s so dangerous to walk around like this!” Liu Fen stood up and wanted to chase after them.

Xia He turned around and shouted, “Second Aunt-in-law! Many of my colleagues are coming to our house tomorrow. Please tidy up the house!”

“You take good care of Qiao Mei!” Liu Fen stood at the door and shouted.

To her, it was a bigger deal that there were going to be visitors tomorrow. What if her future daughter-in-law was among these visitors? She must find a nice girl who was similar to Qiao Mei, or better still if the girl was more capable than Qiao Mei.

Liu Fen looked at Xia Zhe and berated him, “Seriously, how can you dote on Qiao Mei so much? You’ve spoiled her too much.”

Xia Zhe smiled awkwardly and could only listen quietly as Liu Fen reprimanded him. His elder sister and wife had both gone out to have fun, leaving him alone at home to face the lecture.

“I’m guessing that Xia Zhe will definitely get a scolding after we leave. Hahahaha,” Xia He said happily.

“There’s nothing I can do about it. I don’t want to listen to Second Aunt-in-law’s lecture either, so I can only trouble him. Come, let’s go to the nursery,” Qiao Mei said.

Xia He looked at Qiao Mei in surprise and said, “Oh my, little girl, you’ve learned how to lie. I can’t bring you somewhere so far away. If anything happens, Xiao Zhe will skin me alive.”

“Elder sister is highly skilled in martial arts, how will others be able to bully me? Besides, it’s not as if I sneak out. I still have you with me,” Qiao Mei said as she held Xia He’s arm.

“Then… it’s not impossible. Let’s go.” Xia He straightened her back and strode forward.

It was rare to hear anyone praise her for her martial arts skills. Her brothers were either the former top army warrior or the current top army warrior There was no place for her on top.

If not for the fact that she did not like to study and did not want to go to suffer in the army, she would not have been arranged to work in the art troupe.

Along the way, Xia He told Qiao Mei a lot of things that Xia Zhe had said about her. At that time, she was very envious of how loving Xia Zhe and Qiao Mei were every day, so she went to ask him how to be such a loving couple.

She did not expect not to learn anything at all. Throughout the whole time, it was only Xia Zhe showing off his affection for Qiao Mei instead. During the session, she rolled her eyes until she was so tired.

However, Qiao Mei had indeed changed a lot for Xia Zhe. Not only did she successfully lose weight, but she also learned to do many things and was also able to help Xia Zhe in his work. Moreover, she was willing to risk her life for Xia Zhe. These were things that Xia He could not bring herself to do.

“If you go back to the village, I will find it hard to get through days in the capital alone,” Xia He said with a frown.

“I think I’ll have to wait until the courtyard house is done up before leaving. When the time comes, you can stay with me for a few days. This way, you won’t have to listen to Second Aunt-in-law’s nagging,” Qiao Mei said.

“That won’t do. If I move in with you, Third Aunt-in-law and everyone else in the family will covet your house. Don’t underestimate Third Aunt-in-law, she won’t give up!” Xia He said.
