Chapter 2212: Settle Scores with Him

“Are you his secretary?” Xia Wan asked.
“Kind of. I’m also his bodyguard. Is Miss Pu Nan alright? Did something happen to her?” Da Dong asked nervously.
After all, Miss Pu Nan was Xia Zhe’s lifeblood! If anything happened to Miss Pu Nan, Xia Zhe would definitely kill him after the meeting!
“She’s fine, but something big is going to happen to your boss! Let me ask you! Is he with Jessica now!” Xia Wan asked moodily.
“This… this is the boss’s private matter. I can’t tell you,” Da Dong said.
“Then tell your boss! Pu Nan is very angry when she finds out that he and Jessica are about to get married! Ask him to expect a beating!” Xia Wan hung up the phone after saying that.
Gao Long sat at the side and shivered. This was the first time he had seen Xia Wan so angry. She looked like an angry kitten, cute and overbearing.
“What are you laughing at!” Xia Wan looked at Gao Long and said with annoyance.
“I just think that you look very cute and lively like this. I’ve never seen you behave like this before,” Gao Long said as he looked at Xia Wan with affection in his eyes.
“What nonsense are you talking about! I’m still angry with you!” Xia Wan crossed her arms and pretended to be angry.
The fact was that on the way back home just now, she had already thought it through. From Gao Long’s point of view, it was indeed strange for her to speak up for Xia Zhe. The fact that Gao Long spoke up meant that he was concerned about both Qiao Mei and her.
“It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have spoken to you in that manner. I’ll definitely speak with a gentle tone next time,” Gao Long said as he walked up to Xia Wan.
“Think carefully about your behavior just now! You’re simply unreasonable! Also! Why didn’t you believe what I said! I must have my reasons for saying certain things! Do you think I’m the kind of person who’s impetuous!” Xia Wan said aggrievedly.
After knowing Xia Wan for so long, Gao Long already knew her character. When he first met Xia Wan and Xia Nian, he was a little shocked. He thought that the person Qiao Mei entrusted to him would only be in Country M for a few days and that her temperament and status should be similar to Qiao Mei. He did not expect the two of them to be so quiet that they were like mutes.
Xia Wan had never managed such a big farm before. She also did not understand the local language and she had a very hard time. Gao Long had advised Xia Wan to return to her home country. At the very least, there were no communication barriers there and she could still support her family by running a small business.
However, Xia Wan rejected him sternly. Two months later, she transformed into the mature and confident Xia Wan she was now. During this period of time, she never once complained or gave up. She gritted her teeth and persevered in studying day and night.
Qiao Mei did not sleep well that night. It drizzled outside and continued to rain the next day. She sat by the window and stared blankly at the beautiful scenery outside.
She had already been in Country M for two days. In the past, at the military family compound, she would wait for Xia Zhe at home while he went to work. He was always the first person to rush home, but now… there was actually no news from him and he had already made her wait for two days.
“Mei Mei, eat something.” Xia Wan walked into the house with a bowl of wontons.
Qiao Mei looked up at Xia Wan and asked, “He still hasn’t called?”
“No,” Xia Wan said in a low voice.
“His bodyguards didn’t come over either?” Qiao Mei asked again.
“No,” Xia Wan replied.
Qiao Mei finally lost her temper. She did not doubt the feelings between them, but she was very angry with him for being so indifferent! With his smartness, he definitely knew that she had seen the newspapers and was waiting for him to explain himself. She had already given him two days!
“He might still be in the meeting and too busy to come out to look for you,” Xia Wan said.
“I’m going to look for him!” Qiao Mei grabbed the car keys on the desk and was about to leave when Xia Wan hurriedly blocked Qiao Mei’s path and said, “It’s so late at night and it’s also raining! You can’t go! Let’s wait until the rain stops! Don’t be rash!”
“I’m not rash! I just want to see him and ask him for an explanation!” Qiao Mei said.
Xia Wan hugged Qiao Mei and gently stroked her head. She said softly, “I know. I know that you’re very angry. So am I. But the most important thing for us to do is to take care of ourselves. It’s really too dangerous to go out now. Let’s not play around with our own lives, alright?”
“Alright, I’ll listen to you,” Qiao Mei said.
“Come, let’s go down and have something to eat. You can’t just eat wontons anyway. I’ll go make you a few dishes and the two of us can have a good drinking session. I’ve never drank with you before,” Xia Wan said.
“You drink?” Qiao Mei asked curiously.
