“Sigh I’m so tired ” Qiao Mei said wearily.

“No worries. Just lie there. I’ll change your clothes for you.” Xia Zhe took out Qiao Mei’s pajamas from the luggage and changed her clothes for her. He also took a warm towel to wipe Qiao Mei’s face and limbs and gave her a massage to help her relax after these few tiring days.

Qiao Mei was very pleased to have Xia Zhe taking care of her. He was very busy with work in Sky City and it had been half a year since they last met. She wondered how long he could stay with her this time round.

“Did Eldest Brother ask you to come back?” Qiao Mei asked.

“I have already made plans to come back next week, but since something so serious has happened to you, I set off right away. Anyway, everything is already settled over there, so I don’t have to worry about anything,” Xia Zhe said.

“Does that mean you don’t have to go back anymore?” Qiao Mei asked expectantly.

Xia Zhe could not guarantee that his superiors would not send him on missions to other countries or to return to Country M to take charge again if there was a crisis in the future. At the moment, his superiors asked him to stay in the country and just take on his real identity as the “Third Young Master of the Xia family”.

“I’ll be spending most of my time here so we’ll have a lot of time together,” Xia Zhe said neutrally.

Qiao Mei jumped up from the bed excitedly. Xia Zhe could finally have a lot of time for her! Their family was finally reunited! Feeling happy about the news, Qiao Mei hugged Xia Zhe and fell asleep. She only managed to wake up at noon the next day.

Xia Zhe looked tenderly at the person in his arms. It was fortunate that he had returned in time, otherwise he might have lost Qiao Mei. Xia Zhe’s current rank in the army was senior enough for him to have a personal guard team. He planned to get Luo Yu to train a few people from the current guard team to be Qiao Mei’s bodyguards and protect her 24 hours a day.

“Ring, ring, ring ” The hotel phone suddenly rang. Xia Zhe quickly went over to pick it up, worried that the ringing sound would wake Qiao Mei up.

“It’s me, Xia Wen. I just want to ask when you’re coming home?” Xia Wen asked.

“It’ll be a while longer,” Xia Zhe said.

“I can only give you four days. It’s not that I want to deprive you of your alone time, but Mother has given you an ultimatum. Mo Zhu is due to deliver in four days. Mother hopes that the whole family is around when she gives birth,” Xia Wen said.

“Alright, I understand. We’ll go back as soon as possible,” Xia Zhe said.

Xia Wen told Xia Zhe about the progress with Huang Quan’s case. After saying what he needed to say, he hung up the phone. Qiao Mei had also woken up by now. She rubbed her eyes and asked, “Who called?”

“It’s Eldest Brother. He said that Eldest Sister-in-law is about to give birth and wants us to go back.” Xia Zhe summarized the conversation he had just now.

“Oh my goodness! Eldest Sister-in-law is about to give birth! How can I forget such a big thing! I haven’t bought a gift for the baby yet!” Qiao Mei said nervously.

“It’s fine. Let’s pack up in a while and then go to the nearby mall to buy some gifts for everyone,” Xia Zhe said.

Qiao Mei nodded in agreement. Gao Lin’s acquisition project in Hu City was not done yet. Even though the matter with Huang Quan was over, he would still need to stay in Hu City for a while. Xia Zhe asked Luo Yu to stay by Gao Lin’s side to protect him. It was enough for Qiao Mei to have him by her side.

The two of them went to the mall to buy a gold choker and a pair of gold bangles for the unborn baby. Xia Zhe bought many things for their children and only stopped after the car boot ran out of space.

It was a six-hour drive back to the capital from Hu City. Taking a train or a plane might expose Xia Zhe’s identity, so it was best for them to drive back themselves.

They did not go home directly, but headed to the military family compound instead. Xia Zhe needed to go back for a debrief and he also wanted to take the opportunity to let everyone know that he was back so that no one would gossip about Qiao Mei.

“Hey! Whose car is that?” When Qiao Mei arrived, Liu Yun and the others were chatting under the tree.

“Isn’t that Qiao Mei! Qiao Mei is back!” Zhang Cai was the first among them to see Qiao Mei. She stood up excitedly and pointed at the car as she yelled out.

“Qiao Mei! Oh my goodness! Qiao Mei is back!” Liu Yun immediately ran towards the car. As soon as Qiao Mei got out of the car, she hugged Qiao Mei excitedly and shouted, “You’re finally back! Do you know how much I’ve missed you!”

“Long time no see, Sister Liu! I miss you too!” Qiao Mei said happily.
