Chapter 2450: The Honeymoon Begins
Chapter 2450: The Honeymoon Begins
When Xia Xiu heard that the family was sending Xia Yang to her for training, she was so frustrated that a few strands of her hair turned white. She called up Xia Mao and roared, “Xia Mao! Did I owe your family in my past life! Why do I have to keep bringing up your grandchildren! You’re already at the age of retirement! Why don’t you train them yourself!”
“Aren’t you more experienced at that?” Xia Mao said self-righteously.
“Let me tell you! Ask your kids not to have any more children! I’m already old! I can’t take care of them anymore! If you send any more children to my place next time, you can come along and take care of them yourself!” Xia Xiu hung up after saying that.
Xia Mao did not care about what Xia Xiu said. After all, if Xia Wen and his wife ended up having another child and they sent the child to Xia Xiu, she would still train the child. She was already used to it.
After everything was settled at the factory, Qiao Mei started to pack her things. Unexpectedly, she received phone calls every day asking her to sign approval papers or many projects would not be able to start. After a few days, Qiao Mei felt a little puzzled. Could it be that someone did not want her to leave?
She quietly made her way to the office. The secretary was asking Qian’e to sign some documents but Qian’e said without looking up, “Go look for the chairman and don’t bother me.”
“Why should they look for me! I’m on leave!” Qiao Mei said as she pushed the door open.
“Why are you here?” Qian’e asked.
“Why else! Why else!! I’m already preparing to head off! Yet there are many documents that need my signature! If you don’t want me to go, just say it!” Qiao Mei said in annoyance.
Qian’e leaned back against the chair and said, “What if… I can’t bear to part with you?”
“Why can’t you bear to part with me?” Qiao Mei asked.
“This company is so big. I’m scared of managing it alone,” Qian’e said, coming up with a random reason.
“I don’t believe you,” Qiao Mei said immediately.
“Alright, I’m just jealous. I want to take a vacation too! I’ve been very conscientious for six years and haven’t taken any vacation at all! Da Zhuang and I haven’t even gone on our honeymoon yet! When you come back from your honeymoon, I want to go on my honeymoon too!” Qian’e said laughingly.
As Qiao Mei signed the documents, she joked, “Alright, alright, alright. I understand. I won’t come back for the rest of my life. Just work in my company until you die~”
“Then I won’t return the four children to you,” Qian’e said in a fit of pique.
“That’s good for me. Then I don’t have to take care of them. You don’t know how troublesome it is to bring four cheeky monkeys around!” Qiao Mei said.
“Fine! Just go!” Qian’e took out a bank card from the drawer and handed it to Qiao Mei. “This is my gift to you.”
“Do I look like someone who lacks money?” Qiao Mei raised her eyebrows and asked arrogantly.
Qian’e placed the card in Qiao Mei’s palm and said, “This is a token from me. Moreover, this is not the company’s money. It’s the dowry I saved up before I even met you.”
“Why don’t you use it yourself?” Qiao Mei asked.
“I can’t bear to spend this money! So help me spend it! You can just return it to me when I go on my honeymoon. There’s nothing wrong with bringing more money with you on a trip,” Qian’e said.
Qiao Mei thanked Qian’e for her kindness and went home with the bank card. She did not intend to use the money. She would put it aside and show it to Qian’e when they were old. This would serve as a fragment of their memories from when they were young.
After packing all the luggage, Xia Zhe came home with a new car. Nowadays, everyone was allowed to buy cars, but cars were still very expensive and only rich families could afford it.
“This is a pickup truck. It can hold a lot of things. We should travel in this truck,” Xia Zhe said.
“You’re so thoughtful!” Qiao Mei looked at the new car happily. Although the red paint was very flamboyant, it suited Qiao Mei’s personality. This was Qiao Mei’s favorite color.
Everything was ready. The next morning, Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe set off with everyone sending them off. Their beautiful life was right in front of them and the path of happiness was at their feet.
Qiao Mei had finally waited for the arrival of this day. She and Xia Zhe could finally relax for a while. This was just the beginning of the rest of their lives.
“Xia Zhe, how about we go and live inside the mountain forest in the future! Just like Eldest Sister-in-law’s parents, only the two of us in the mountains. We rise at sunrise and rest at sunset. Let’s live in seclusion too!” Qiao Mei said.
“Sure, but I reckon it won’t be long before you take over the entire mountain and build a huge villa on it. Then the two of us can live there for the rest of our lives.” Xia Zhe smiled as he visualized the scenario. It was as if he could see that scene coming to life.
Qiao Mei looked into the distance and said quietly and gently, “Let’s continue on our path like this. There’s still a long, long way ahead of us. We must hold hands as we walk on together.”
