“Boss, are we going home now? I… I saw Miss Pu Nan here just now and she even sat down for a meal with a man. Miss Pu Nan doesn’t look very happy,” Xiao Bei said nervously.

“When did she come!” Xia Zhe said, feeling pleasantly surprised.

“Da Dong said that she arrived in Country M three days ago and reached Sky City early this morning. Moreover, Miss Pu Nan seems to know about you and Jessica,” Xiao Bei said.

Xia Zhe lowered his head helplessly. He had originally planned to hide this matter from Qiao Mei. There was nothing between him and Jessica. They only socialized with each other because of business. For some reason, the entertainment news outlets in Country M kept reporting about him and Jessica, and there were even rumors of them getting married.

He was famous and influential in the business world, but that did not mean that he had the same level of influence in the entertainment industry and with the press. It seemed that Jessica was the one secretly fanning this matter. He could only spend money to threaten some of the big newspapers not to report the fake news, but there were too many small newspapers and he could not stop all of them from doing what they wanted.

“Let’s go and look for Pu Nan so that I can clarify this issue,” Xia Zhe said.

Xia Zhe asked Xiao Bei to drive to the villa he had bought for Qiao Mei in the suburbs. Qiao Mei had said that she liked that house very much and that it was their “home” in Sky City. Xia Zhe believed that Qiao Mei would definitely come and stay here.

It was just as Xia Zhe expected. However, Qiao Mei did not turn up because the place felt like home. She went because she sensed that Xia Zhe was there. She was here to interrogate him!

“You’re back!” Xia Zhe stood at the door and smiled at Qiao Mei.

“I’m just here as a guest. I hear that there’s going to be a new lady of the house very soon. It’s such a surprise. Congratulations, Chairman Xia!” Qiao Mei said sarcastically.

“Let me explain! It’s not what you think! I don’t have any other woman apart from you!” Xia Zhe said nervously.

Qiao Mei knew very well that Xia Zhe would not betray her. She was just feeling a little jealous. Xia Zhe could tell what Qiao Mei was thinking and he smiled as he carried her upstairs.

“Let go of me! What are you doing! I’m still angry with you! You’re so heartless!” Qiao Mei said as she struggled.

She had to swallow the rest of her sentence as Xia Zhe latched onto her mouth. The two of them had a passionate night together. At dawn the next day, Xia Zhe looked at Qiao Mei affectionately. He had not seen her for such a long time. She looked like she had lost some weight and looked a little pale and tired.

Qiao Mei opened her eyes slowly. When she saw Xia Zhe beside her, she smiled blissfully. She nestled in his arms and asked, “Tell me what’s going on!”

“This… this involves my work. I can’t tell you the details, but I guarantee that there’s nothing between me and her! I didn’t do anything!” Xia Zhe said sternly.

Qiao Mei reached out and tapped Xia Zhe between his eyebrows, saying, “Why are you so earnest, I know you won’t do anything.”

“How long are you staying here this time?” Xia Zhe asked.

“I don’t know. I’ve already left everything at home to Eldest Brother. I’ll go back when I feel like it,” Qiao Mei said.

“How are the children? I received a call from Eldest Brother some time ago. He said that Xia Fan resembles me a lot, that Xia Xing is very talented in writing and that Xia Yue often pesters his elder siblings to play with him and he can express himself very well…” Xia Zhe told Qiao Mei a list of what he knew about the children.

There were even some details that Qiao Mei was not very clear about. Xia Wen sent letters to Xia Zhe through the higher-ups. He secretly asked Feng Hua to record down interesting things about the children or take photos of them and he gladly paid her for the service. He wanted to make sure that Xia Zhe knew more about the children’s childhoods.

After all, they were neglected during their own childhoods because Xia Mao and Xu Lan were very busy with work. Like Xia Mao, Xia Zhe’s job took him away from his children’s side, so Xia Wen hoped to help Xia Zhe out as much as possible.

Qiao Mei felt very blessed. Her father in both her other life and this life had died young. She did not know what fatherly love was like, but she was very glad that she had chosen Xia Zhe back then. Xia Zhe was a very good husband and a very good father.

“What’s wrong? Are the children not doing well recently? I’m sorry, Eldest Brother sends me a letter once a month, but I’ve been so busy with meetings for the past two months that I haven’t kept up with the children’s recent developments,” Xia Zhe said apologetically.

“Of course not. I just feel that maybe you know more than me when it comes to certain things,” Qiao Mei said with a laugh.

“You’re the children’s mother. How can I know more than you? It’s just that I’m not by their side, so I hold the details very close to my heart,” Xia Zhe said.
