He Xiangdong took Luo Lifeng and a few others to heat up the dishes.
They were all delicious dishes. The aroma generated by the heat filled the entire courtyard and even drifted to the neighboring rooms, stimulating people's saliva.
The dishes were served in large bowls. Eleven people sat around the table. Ji Xia sat at the head of the table. He Wanqing and Qiao San were supposed to sit on her left and right. She and He Wanqing switched seats, letting He Wanqing sit in the middle.
Qiao San sat next to He Wanqing.
During the meal, Qiao San served food to He Wanqing twice, and the two of them became familiar with each other.
They finally managed to eat so many delicious foods. Although everyone noticed the subtle feeling between Qiao San and He Wanqing, eating was still the main focus. With no one paying attention, their relationship became closer, and there was a kind of tender affection flowing that was unknown to others.
Ji Xia just felt that the sour smell of love was so strong that it covered up the fragrance of the food.
In the end, everyone was full, touched their bloated stomachs, slumped in their seats and didn't want to talk.
"Qiao San, you can drive my car to take Wanqing back later." Ji Xia handed the car keys to Qiao San, "There's one more thing. My husband's brother is called Qin Changqing. He has returned from Country F. He will start working with you tomorrow.
He's not very clear about the domestic situation, so please help me keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't fall into the hands of others."
As soon as Ji Xia said that, everyone knew what was going on, otherwise, they could have handed the person over to them.
They all felt honored to be asked to help look after the people, and felt that they might be Sister Xia's direct subordinates. Everyone was very happy and expressed that they must take good care of the people.
He Wanqing was a little curious. "Xia Xia, someone who came back from Country F should have strong language skills. Shouldn't such a person go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"
There are very few people who know foreign languages nowadays, and all departments are short of staff. Those who can come back from Country F at least know a language of F.
"I'm not sure if he can speak F. His favorite thing, or rather, his obsession, is painting, especially Western painting. My father is very worried. To be honest, painting is a legitimate hobby, but it's definitely not allowed in this day and age."
Before, when the old man wanted to send him to the countryside, we were all very worried. To be on the safe side, I simply kept him under my watch to prevent any accidents.
"Yes, yes, Sister Xia, nothing will happen if you follow us." Luo Lifeng and others shuddered with fear. They were all following Sister Xia. If Sister Xia was implicated and something happened to her, they would all be in trouble.
He Xiangdong said, "Sister Xia, don't worry, we promise to take him wherever we go."
Since they were all family, Ji Xia had nothing to worry about. "Of course I am. I've handed it over to you. You just keep an eye on it. He's quite talented, and you can learn more about management from him."
"Yes, Sister Xia, in short, we should learn from each other's strengths and overcome our weaknesses!" Qiao San said.
As soon as he finished speaking, He Wanqing looked at him, her eyes full of teasing, as if to say, do you still know how to make up for your own shortcomings?
Qiao San's cheeks felt hot when she looked at him. For some reason, a dirty joke he had heard before came to his mind, "You know my strengths and weaknesses, and I know your depth." He was suddenly frightened by the nonsense in his mind and turned his head away abruptly.
Ji Xia noticed the flirting between the two, and everyone else noticed it too. They were all very surprised that their Third Master actually had a female comrade he liked. That was not simple!
"Let's go!" Ji Xia stood up and decided to give the two of them some private space to make the progress more intense.
Qiao San hurriedly stood up and asked He Xiangdong to send Ji Xia off. "Take someone to see Sister Xia off!"
"I don't need you to send me off!" Ji Xia waved his hand.
Qiao San and the others insisted on sending her off, so He Xiangdong and Luo Lifeng followed her on either side like door gods. Well, that didn't make anyone worry, so she acquiesced.
Qiao San and He Wanqing followed behind him, walking a little slowly. In the darkness, they were only a fist's distance apart. If they swung their arms a little wider, they would bump into each other.
Just as he walked out of the alley, he saw two flashlights shining towards him. There was someone next to the car. Ji Xia squinted his eyes and looked over, vaguely seeing Qin Xiao.
"Wife!" Qin Xiao called out, and Ji Xia hurried over. "Why are you... here?"
Qin Xiao also ran over, followed by Gao Zan and others. "Park your car here. If anyone approaches your car and tries to move it, we'll come over."
Only then did Ji Xia realize that Qin Xiao had arranged someone to follow him. Although he had not told him in advance, Ji Xia did not think it was a bad thing.
She was already being targeted, and the man was worried about her, so there was nothing wrong with sending someone to protect her.
"Is the car usable?" Ji Xia asked.
“It works.”
Ji Xia asked Qiao San to drive He Wanqing back. "No need to drive it to me. Just drive it to the factory tomorrow morning."
"good!"
Qiao San took He Wanqing away. Since Qin Xiao was there, Ji Xia asked He Xiangdong and the others to go back, and she took Qin Xiao's car home.
Qin Xiao arranged for Gao Zan and others to follow the clues they had found today. He sent Ji Xia back first and would meet up with them later, then left.
"Someone touched my car. What did they want to do?" Ji Xia asked.
"Plant a bomb in the car." Qin Xiao is still frightened. He can't imagine what he would do if he didn't send someone to follow Ji Xia and keep an eye on her car. What would he do if the other party really succeeded?
Ji Xia saw Qin Xiao's hand trembling slightly. She covered it with her hand and felt that he was usually very angry, but now his hand was cold. "They won't succeed. I am very sensitive to danger."
She was not trying to comfort Qin Xiao, but stating the facts. After the system transformation, her six senses became very sharp, and she was particularly sensitive to danger.
Qin Xiao has been emotionally unstable since he caught that man and saw the bomb tonight. Now, when he said this, he felt like his heart couldn't beat anymore.
Ji Xia was clearly right beside him, but he always felt that she would disappear in the next second.
The car stopped at the doorstep. Ji Xia was about to get out when Qin Xiao pulled her back. He moved the seat back and hugged Ji Xia in his arms. "Wife, you know I can't lose you, so don't leave me!"
After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed Ji Xia's lips with an out-of-control recklessness.
His movements were very heavy and Ji Xia felt a little pain, but she endured it. She put her arms around his shoulders and hung her whole body on his neck. Fortunately, Qin Xiao's hands supported her back, so she didn't feel so uncomfortable.
It took a long time before they separated, both of them panting. The changes in his body made her feel uncomfortable. She moved, but unexpectedly, Qin Xiao reacted strongly and held her in his arms, "Don't move!"
