Chapter 1716 A Big Bad Wolf at HomeChapter 1716 A Big Bad Wolf at Home
"I'm back. Why are all of you looking so worried? Did Eldest Aunt make things difficult for you?" Xia Wen asked.
"Of course something big has happened! It's a big bad wolf targeting you! We are unable to protect you! You'll be eaten up by the big bad wolf very soon!" Xia He said with a sigh.
Xia Wen roughly had an idea of what had happened at home recently. He knew that his family members had already done many things for him and that there were some things that needed to be settled as soon as possible.
"Mother, when will Father have some free time?" Xia Wen asked Xu Lan with a serious look.
"Your father is quite free recently, he's no longer that busy anymore. I'm idle at home every day and have a lot of free time. But why are you asking this?" Xu Lan asked.

I know that in this era, the matter is confirmed once we send the betrothal gifts and whatnots, but it's a second marriage for me. I want Mo Zhu to marry into our family in a proper and grand manner and also let the Mo family feel at ease, so I might have to trouble both of you to accompany me there," Xia Wen said hesitantly.
He had never needed Xu Lan and Xia Mao to worry about him from when he was young. Even when he got married previously, the two elders did not have to worry about anything. In addition, he was even the one who brought up Xia He and Xia Zhe. This was the first time he had asked Xu Lan for help. In fact, he had been in charge of all the big and small matters in the family for a long time. Without him, Xu Lan would probably have a lot more wrinkles around her eyes.
"You're our son, so of course we will do it. This is something we should do. How is it considered troublesome? It's just that we should find a master to take a look at the dates and choose an auspicious day. Then, we can go to the Mo family to propose marriage. We need to show them how important this matter is to us," Xu Lan said happily.
"Yes! Sure! Thank you, Mother!" Xia Wen said agitatedly.
The entire family was very happy to hear this. Qiao Mei looked at Xia Wen and said, "Eldest Brother, after the date is set, you must tell Mo Zhu in advance. Don't give her a shock!"
"I understand! You're always the thoughtful one," Xia Wen said.
After dinner that night, everyone went back to their own homes. Xia He was on a break from work recently. Before she left, she hugged Qiao Mei tightly and refused to let go, insisting that she wanted to move in with Qiao Mei for a period of time.
"You should come home with me. It's rare for the young couple to have some free time together, so why do you want to be a third wheel!" Deng Fan said helplessly.
Xia He reluctantly let go of Qiao Mei and said, "Then I'll go and look for you when you return to the military family compound! Deng Fan is teaching me how to drive recently! I'll go and look for you!"
"Alright, it's a deal," Qiao Mei said as she looked at Xia He dotingly.
On the way home, Xia Zhe kept staring at Qiao Mei. Now that she knew how to drive, he let her drive so that she could practice more. If there was anything she did wrong, he could also give her pointers in time. He did not expect her to be able to drive for so long without making any mistakes. He could only use the word "perfect" to describe her driving.
This time round, it had been a very difficult pregnancy for Qiao Mei. They did not know if the pregnancy was stable or if the baby was developing well. Xia Zhe did not even dare to think about doing anything intimate with Qiao Mei.

"Huh? But I'm fine? Why do we have to go and look for Aunt?" Qiao Mei asked curiously.
"Isn't it better to play safe? It's good for both you and the baby. The rest of the family will also feel more at ease. They don't know what's going on and they are very worried about your health," Xia Zhe said, trying to persuade her in a tactful manner.
"Hmm… Alright then. Let's go for a checkup just before we leave. There have been too many issues recently and I just want to stay at home for a while longer," Qiao Mei said after thinking for a long time.
"Alright, we'll do it your way," Xia Zhe said, feeling satisfied.
The two of them arrived home safely and had a good night's sleep. The next morning, Xia Zhe accompanied Qiao Qiang out to exercise. Qiao Qiang had recently created a set of "fist techniques" to strengthen his body. Many of the old men and women in the park were his disciples and Qiao Qiang went to train with them every day.
Xia Zhe decided to play along with Qiao Qiang today. Whatever Qiao Qiang liked to do, he would like it too.
