"Um, dear husband, I just admire you too much!" The little succubus on the other end of the phone was silent for ten whole seconds before she finally spoke up. "I'll hang up now. I still want to sleep."
The little succubus hung up after saying that. Although Xia Tian wasn't entirely happy with this, he decided not to argue since she had just said how much she admired him.
Of course, the main reason for this was that Xia Tian intended to call his wife, the great succubus as well. So immediately after hanging up on the little succubus, he dialed Zhao Yujie's number.
"Hello, you've reached a phone that is turned off..." The voice from the phone made Xia Tian gloomy instantly. Why would his wife have turned her phone off
After some thought, he recalled that he hadn't called Mei'er yet, so he dialed her number.
Mei'er picked up relatively quickly but said something which made Xia Tian even more glum. She said in a very fast voice: "I know you're still alive and that you’re fine now. I'm busy right now and don't have time to chat with you. I'll hang up."
Mei'er's voice was as pleasant as ever, but she spoke in such an icy tone. True to her word, she hung up immediately after speaking.
Xia Tian felt extremely gloomy and redialed her number, but this time Mei'er didn't pick up at all.
After a while, Xia Tian finally stopped calling Meier and muttered to himself in frustration: "My wives in the capital are becoming increasingly disobedient. Looks like I need to pay another visit to the capital soon and teach them a lesson; otherwise, they won’t take me, their husband, seriously anymore."
Even though Xia Tian was speaking to himself, his voice wasn’t too quiet for Xu Jiasheng and Wei Xiaotong to overhear. The two couldn’t help but look at each other in astonishment—Dr. Xia seemed incredibly powerful! From what he said, it appeared that he had many wives in the capital!
At this moment, Xu Jiaseng even felt an urge to ask Xia Tian how many wives he actually had, although his true intention was probably to find out whether Xia Tian’s other wives were also as beautiful as Ning Jie.
"If Xia Tian's other wives are also as beautiful as Ning Jie, that guy truly deserves a thunderbolt from heaven!" Xu Jiaseng thought silently in his heart.
The dining table they were seated at was quite large. Wei Xiaotong sat next to Ning Jie while Xia Tian actually seemed to sit farther away from her. Of course, at this moment, Xu Jiaseng also found himself sitting somewhat far from Wei Xiaotong and closer to Xia Tian.
Earlier when they were still at Xu’s house, Xu Jiaseng noticed that Xia Tian was very concerned about what Ning Jie said. In fact, it was only after she mentioned being hungry that Xia Tian decided to stay for dinner. So prior to this meal, he had secretly told Wei Xiaotong to take the opportunity to talk to Ning Jie; this could be considered a kind of "lady diplomacy." As for himself, he wanted to chat with Xia Tian, which was why they were seated like this.
However, Xu Jiaseng now realized that Xia Tian clearly didn’t want to chat with him. So instead of pressing the matter, he wisely kept silent while Wei Xiaotong and Ning Jie began chatting.
"Miss Ning, are you also from the capital" Wei Xiaotong asked in a soft voice.
"No, but I did study there and worked for several months," Ning Jie replied. Even though she knew that Wei Xiaotong was trying to befriend her, she didn’t mind chatting with her either.
"You've known Dr. Xia for a long time, right" Wei Xiaotong asked again.
Ning Jie shook her head and smiled faintly: "It's not that long actually; we only met last October."
Hearing Wei Xiaotong ask about his relationship with herself, Xia Tian glanced at her but didn't pay any more attention to her. After thinking for a moment, he picked up his phone and dialed a number—this was a call meant for Song Yumei.
The phone rang several times before someone finally answered it. A voice familiar to Xia Tian greeted him: "Hello!"
"Dearest Meimei, it's me!" Xia Tian said with a grin: "Have you missed me"
Upon hearing this, Xu Jiasheng, who was sitting beside them, nearly smashed his wine glass onto Xia Tian's head. It was just too outrageous—this guy actually had a wife! And he seemed to have dozens of them!
Wei Xiaotong couldn't hold back any longer either. She lowered her voice and asked softly: "Miss Ning, do you know whom Dr. Xia is calling"
In fact, Wei Xiaotong knew that asking this question was a bit inappropriate, but she really couldn't help it; there truly seemed to be no logic in the situation—why didn't Miss Ning react at all
Actually, Wei Xiaotong knew that her question was somewhat inappropriate, but she couldn't contain herself. It simply made no sense—how could Miss Ning not react at all
"Miss Wei, I understand what you mean and appreciate your concern. However, my husband wouldn’t hide anything from me, nor do I mind whom he’s calling." Ning Jie said coolly. Yet, she was secretly annoyed by the summer scene; her husband really ought not to be too affectionate with his other wives in public—it just looks weird!
"Oh, sorry about that—I’m truly just curious and didn’t mean anything else," Wei Xiaotong smiled apologetically before quickly changing the subject. "Miss Ning, may I ask what line of work you’re in"
"I used to be a fashion designer, but I recently quit my job and haven’t started new employment yet," Ning Jie replied honestly.
“Oh wow, Miss Ning is actually a fashion designer!” Wei Xiaotong was suddenly excited; having been a supermodel herself, she naturally had an interest in the topic. Now they had something to talk about.
Hence, Wei Xiaotong and Ning Jie started discussing fashion design, gradually branching out into other subjects, while Wei Xiaotong tactfully avoided asking anything about summer or probing deeper into Ning Jie’s relationship with him. This way, their conversation went smoothly.
As the girls chatted, Summer was also chatting on his phone with Song Yumei on the other end.
The moment he spoke, there seemed to be a slight surprise from Song Yumei on the other side; her heartbeat quickened as well. But soon after, it returned to normal—Summer could hear her speaking softly: "Are you alright"
"Of course I’m fine! Though if Sister Meimei would come see me, that’d be even better," Summer said with a grin.
“Do you really want me to come over” Song Yumei murmured gently.
"Of course it's true, I never lie to my wife."
"Then I'll come find you." Song Yumei replied. "Where are you"
"Wife Meimei, are you really going to come and find me" Xia Tian was taken aback; he hadn't expected her to actually agree to it.
"Of course it's true, I don't lie either." Song Yumei spoke gently but then asked with a hint of displeasure: "What Don't you want me to come find you"
"I'm naturally happy that Wife Meimei wants to come find me. However, I'm currently in Hong Kong and will be going to Wangan after dinner. Before the New Year, I'll likely return to Jianghai. If Wife Meimei decides to come today, then head over to Wangan first. Give me a call once you get there."
"Alright, I understand. I'll make my way over as soon as possible, either today or tomorrow at the latest. Once in Wangan, I will give you a call," Song Yumei agreed, making it clear she wasn't just saying this for fun but truly intended to come see Xia Tian.
After a brief pause, Song Yumei added: "I need someone to arrange things for me. That's all for now; I'll hang up and we can talk more when we meet."
"Alright then, Wife Meimei, looking forward to it," Xia Tian agreed.
Song Yumei didn't say anything else and hung up the call. Seeing Xia Tian put his phone away, Xu Jiasheng quickly spoke up: "Doctor Xia, Miss Ning, the dishes are served. Let's eat while we chat. Doctor Xia, here's to you first!"
Xu Jiasheng raised his cup to make a toast, but Xia Tian waved his hand and said: "I'm not drinking today."
Ignoring the wine glass that Xu Jiasheng was holding up, Xia Tian directly picked up his chopsticks and started eating. His plan was to finish quickly and leave.
Xu Jiasheng felt a little helpless but didn't say anything more. Soon after, however, he wasn't so gloomy anymore because he noticed that Xia Tian was wolfing down the food, though it lacked grace. Xu Jiasheng thought this at least indicated that Xia Tian was quite satisfied with the dishes on offer, meaning he had properly entertained Xia Tian today.
What comforted Xu Jiasheng even more was that while there wasn't much progress on his end, his wife had made significant gains. Not only did Wei Xiaotong and Ning Jie hit it off, but they also successfully exchanged contact information, making this diplomatic effort a major success.
Half an hour later, when Xia Tian and the others left the restaurant, the staff who came in to clear the table were astonished. Having worked here for years, they had never seen these wealthy people eat so cleanly before. Truly rare!
"Third Young Master, should we send you back first or..." Xu Gang asked at this point; he and Xu Qiang had been waiting outside.
"Brother Gang, of course not!" Xu Jiasheng interrupted him. "We have to drop off Dr. Xia and Miss Ning first."
After a brief pause, Xu Jiasheng added: "Xiaotong and I will also get in the car to see Dr. Xia and Miss Ning back home before we return to Hope Bay."
"Understood, Third Young Master," Xu Gang nodded, then opened the car door for them. "Third Young Master, please get in first."ncle Geng, your eyes are indeed sharp; there's nothing I can hide from you." Hong Shaohui picked up his glass. "Uncle Geng, let me offer you a toast first, and by the way, I have something to seek you...
