Bab 263: Asking for a House

Xia Zhe got a huge shock when he heard what Qiao Mei said. She had actually brought such a valuable item all the way from the village. If she had run into criminals, she might even have lost her life.

Xia Zhe frowned as he looked at Qiao Mei and said, "I'll settle this score with you when we go back. You brought along such a valuable thing without considering that there would be people who might covet it."

Qiao Mei quietly stuck out her tongue at Xia Zhe and said playfully, "You think you have a score to settle with me. I still have scores to settle with you tonight. Sooner or later, you'll have to give me a clear explanation about your romantic debts."

"Sure, sure, sure. We'll explain everything to each other then," Xia Zhe said.

"This task is not an easy one. After all, such a valuable thing cannot be exchanged within a short period of time," Zhou Sheng said after some thought.
