After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!-Chapter 2239: Mend the Defect

"But I want to help you dig the tunnel," Qiao Mei said. With her around to help him, the matter of digging a tunnel could be done in minutes.

Even though she would not do it so blatantly that Xia Zhe would discover her abilities, it would definitely shorten the time needed. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

"There's no need!" Xia Zhe looked at Qiao Mei sternly. She had never seen him giving her such a fierce expression before.

What he was going to do this time was way too dangerous. If he was caught, he might lose his life. He could not let Qiao Mei take the risk together with him. They still had three children waiting for them at home.

"Be good and go home immediately!" Xia Zhe pressed his index finger gently on her lips and continued, "Trust me, I'll go back safely."

Seeing his determination, Qiao Mei could only nod in agreement. This time round, she would really cause trouble for Xia Zhe if she continued to stay here.

Xia Zhe looked at her intensely for two seconds before planting a kiss on her lips. Then, he suddenly turned around and left, looking like a warrior going on a path of no return. Qiao Mei stood rooted to the spot for a long time.

After a while, Qiao Mei extended her superpower outwards massively to cover the entire villa and then radiated it further outwards in all directions. Soon, she found the house which belonged to her and Xia Zhe. She had seen photos of the house before. Back then, she had bought it after only seeing its photos. It was more than 2,000 meters away from here and there was a very big but shallow pool between here and there.

Qiao Mei tried to guess the direction that Xia Zhe would aim for. Then, she gently pushed open the window and scattered a handful of seeds outwards. When the seeds landed on the ground, they did not grow upwards. Instead, their roots spread out rapidly underground to loosen the soil. This way, when Xia Zhe needed to start digging the tunnel, he would find it much easier to do so.

This was all she could do now. Even if Xia Zhe did not say it out loud, she knew how dangerous the whole operation was. Even if Alan's family did not catch them in the act, the moment they found out that Xia Zhe and Qiao Mei were the ones involved, they would definitely send people to chase the two of them to the ends of the earth and they would not rest until the two of them were dead.

She had three children to take care of. She could not just put them aside because of Xia Zhe. If anything should happen to Xia Zhe, she had to take good care of them.

However, she believed in Xia Zhe and that he would keep his promise and go home.

She watched quietly as Xia Zhe knocked out the bodyguards again. Xia Zhe found a few items within Alan's house and mixed them together. Then, he went to the room next to the study and restored the safe and the wall in a careful and quick manner. No one would see anything unusual with one glance.

Qiao Mei's eyes widened in surprise. She really admired "professionals" like Xia Zhe for being able to do all kinds of strange things.

By the time all these were done, it was time for Xia Zhe to return to his room to sleep. However, Qiao Mei realized that he did not fall asleep at all but kept looking in the direction of her room. Her heart instantly melted. She silently prayed to the moon and hoped that Xia Zhe would be able to make it home!

The next morning, the bodyguards in Xia Zhe's room woke up one by one. It was still dark then and there were no lights in the room. Those who woke up first did not realize that the others were also asleep. They were not gathered together and there was some distance between each of them. They were also not standing, but were seated comfortably.

Each person who woke up was dazed for a moment before he immediately went to check if Xia Zhe was still in the room. When the bodyguards realized that Xia Zhe was sleeping soundly in bed, they immediately pretended that nothing had happened last night. If Old Master Alan and Young Master Daniel found out about what they did, they would die a terrible death. They were really exhausted during this period of time. Ever since Xia Zhe came, they had more work to do. They needed to stand guard during the day per their usual schedule and also needed to watch over him at night, so it was inevitable that they might nod off occasionally. As Daniel had changed the banquet time to 8 a.m., the butler came to Xia Zhe's room at dawn.

"Mr. Fang, it's time for you to change." The butler took out the suit.

Xia Zhe did not object. He took the suit and put it on. The butler immediately looked satisfied. Since Xia Zhe had willingly worn the clothes which Jessica had chosen for him, it appeared that was willing to get engaged to Jessica.

In fact, this was what a normal man should do. How could a man reject a beautiful, rich and powerful woman who loved him?

Xia Zhe changed his clothes very quickly, but on the other side, Jessica took her time putting on her gown. She had a very nasty morning temper and since the ceremony was now three hours earlier than scheduled, she was very unhappy and had thrown a tantrum. Of course, she only dared to kick up a fuss in her room and did not dare to let Daniel witness this scene. By the time Jessica was done dressing up, all the guests had already arrived.

After all, this was the engagement banquet of Alan's eldest daughter. Alan was the one person whom everyone had to show respect to in Sky City. All the guests stood in the living room, yawning and looking listless.
