Chapter 1688 - 1688 Freeload a Meal
1688 Freeload a Meal
The sky gradually darkened, but Miao Le still refused to leave Qiao Mei’s house. She still wanted to freeload another meal!
Qiao Mei was not a fool. She knew what Miao Le was up to. Miao Le was still not as scheming as Qiao Yu! She did not know how Miao Le managed to go through life like this. Did her family not teach her anything?
As it got later and later, Miao Le finally could not sit still anymore. If she waited any longer, her brother-in-law would probably come looking for her. If so, she would never be able to come to Qiao Mei’s house to freeload again.
There was still a long time ahead. She could not throw away all those future delicious meals for this meal!
“Sister-in-law, it’s getting late. I’ll go off with the child first!” Miao Le said reluctantly.
“Alright, goodbye,” Qiao Mei said coldly.
As soon as Miao Le stepped out of Qiao Mei’s courtyard, Qiao Mei immediately put the meat she had prepared in advance into the pot. The fragrance of meat immediately wafted out from the kitchen and everyone could smell the fragrance of the food from her kitchen.
Miao Le craved it so much that she could not even walk. She stood at the door and stared straight at Qiao Mei’s kitchen.
The two of them were clearly about the same age, so how could Qiao Mei be so lucky to be able to marry such a good man?
Miao Le had insisted on staying in the military family compound for so long because she wanted to find a husband here. If she could do that, she would be able to move into the military family compound openly and no longer have to live under someone else’s watchful eyes.
She had to take good care of Zhuang Zhuang so that she could continue to stay here. If anything should happen to Zhuang Zhuang, she would be sent back to her hometown. At that time, her family would just sell her off to a random man. They might as well just kill her!
Xia Zhe knew that Qiao Mei had come back today, so he ran home as soon as he got off the bus. As he ran, he hummed a happy tune. There was nothing happier than being able to see his wife.
He did not even care that there was someone standing at the door and rushed into the courtyard and then into the house. He hugged Qiao Mei and said, “Why did you come back suddenly without telling me! I miss you so much!”
Qiao Mei shyly broke free from Xia Zhe’s arms and said, “There’s still someone outside! Be mindful of your image!”
“Someone? Who is she? It feels as if she’s been standing at our door for a long time,” Xia Zhe asked curiously.
“Why is your memory so bad? Isn’t that Tian Jun’s sister-in-law! At that time, you were still feeling indignant for me, but now you can’t even remember,” Qiao Mei said disdainfully.
“Why should I remember other women? I do know her brother-in-law though. Tian Jun is a very awkward person. I don’t really like going on missions with him,” Xia Zhe whispered.
“You have a choice when you go on missions? Don’t you have to do whatever the higher-ups arrange?” Qiao Mei asked curiously.
“That’s right! That’s why I don’t like it! Don’t tell me she’s here to freeload a meal?” Xia Zhe said.
Qiao Mei immediately gave Xia Zhe a thumbs up and said, “Not bad! You’ve made great progress. You can even tell what’s going on!”
“Then just let her keep looking. Go into the room and take a rest. Let me show you what I can do!” Xia Zhe said proudly.
Qiao Mei did not stop Xia Zhe. She must give him some opportunities to practice.
When Miao Le saw how loving Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe were, she could not help but feel jealous. In the future, she must definitely find a man as good as Xia Zhe! She wondered if Xia Zhe had any brothers. If he did, maybe his brother could marry her.
She fantasized about marrying into the Xia family as she walked away from Qiao Mei’s house. During dinner that night, Qiao Mei told Xia Zhe about the jeep parked at the door.
“Eldest Brother is really amazing to be able to apply for a car!” Xia Zhe said in shock.
When Xia Zhe was in the army base, his family members would not call him as and when they liked. As long as it was not a matter of life and death, they would not make calls to him.
Qiao Mei told Xia Zhe all the gossip she heard so far and he had fun listening to her. The two of them chatted and laughed as they finished their dinner.
“Teach me how to drive!” Qiao Mei said excitedly.
“Drive? You’re sure?” Xia Zhe said with a slight frown.
“Yes, I’m sure. Will you teach me or not~” Qiao Mei tugged at Xia Zhe’s sleeve and said coquettishly.
Xia Zhe had no choice but to agree. He actually did not want Qiao Mei to drive, or rather, he did not want her to drive such a big jeep. It was really too dangerous.
