Chapter 243: Chapter 243: I’ll Go Back Immediately

Wu Xia immediately waved his hands, "No, there’s really none!"

"Jiaojiao, how could I possibly have something to lie to you about?"

Wu Xia’s mind raced, trying to come up with a new excuse.

"We’re currently renovating the house, and with your condition being unstable, it won’t be convenient for you if you go back now."

"It’s much more convenient in the city."

"How about this, I’ll go back and bring my sister-in-law over so you all can stay in the city. That way, it’ll be a bit more convenient!"

Lin Jiao, hearing that Zhou Fang would be brought over, thought it over and decided it was okay, so she nodded and didn’t press the matter further.

Wu Xia also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he still had to make a trip back to sort things out.

It would be best to send Wu Tie off, to prevent him from meeting Lin Jiao.

Wu Xia even thought of sending Wu Tie to the army, to let him get some training.

Wu Xia quickly settled on all this and his mind was somewhat at ease.

After calming Lin Jiao down, Wu Xia checked her body again to make sure there were no problems before he finally felt relieved.

Every time Wu Xia tried to probe the child in her belly, however, a powerful protective membrane guarded it, making it impossible for him to investigate further.

Wu Xia didn’t think much of it, only feeling it was the child’s protective abilities, and as long as the child was healthy, that was all that mattered.

However, he also felt that his son was far from ordinary.

Wu Xia didn’t understand what was happening, so he decided to ask Yaoji.

These past few days, all his attention had been on Lin Jiao and he hadn’t paid much attention to Yaoji.

When Wu Xia entered the soul space, he found Yaoji had fallen into a deep sleep, and no matter what he did, he couldn’t wake her up.

What was more peculiar was that Yaoji’s spiritual power was extremely weak, as if she had overexerted herself doing something.

This left Wu Xia very puzzled.

Nobody had witnessed anything happen in the past few days, so why had Yaoji ended up like this?

"What’s going on?"

Wu Xia frowned lightly, feeling utterly confused.

"Could it be that Jiaojiao’s Nirvana Rebirth had an effect on her?"

"But I had set up a barrier formation at that time, hadn’t I?"

Wu Xia thought for a long time but couldn’t figure it out. However, seeing that Yaoji was slowly recovering, he didn’t dwell on it further, deciding to wait until she woke up.

Wu Xia made Lin Jiao a delicious dinner and accompanied her as she ate.

"Xia, I’m fine, and with my current abilities, I can take care of myself. Hurry and bring my sister-in-law over!"

After eating, Lin Jiao started urging Wu Xia, since being pregnant alone was indeed uncomfortable.

Wu Xia was exasperated, his face ashen with displeasure.

"Jiaojiao, my sister-in-law is pregnant, so I can’t just teleport her instantly. I have to drive back to pick her up!"

Wu Xia hastily found an excuse, "Don’t worry, we’ll go buy a car tomorrow, and then I’ll find a maid to take care of you. That way, when I go back to pick her up, you’ll be okay. Does that sound good?"

At this moment, Wu Xia was trying to delay things as much as possible.

He was at a loss for what to do next.

"Oh!" Lin Jiao felt a bit helpless, but she was still anxious as she said, "We don’t need a maid, I can take care of myself. Let’s go buy the car now!"

With that, she had already put down her chopsticks, urging Wu Xia to leave.

"Jiaojiao, can you please not be so impatient?" Wu Xia quickly tried to stop Lin Jiao.

Lin Jiao didn’t turn back, but the emotions in her voice and her demeanor had changed dramatically.

"Xia, I just don’t want to feel like you’re lying to me!"

The slightly cold voice made Wu Xia’s heart tremble.

It was then that he remembered Lin Jiao was now a powerful being, and she was also blessed with the Soul Power of the Vermilion Bird, making her highly sensitive to everything.

"Jiaojiao, let’s go. We’ll buy the car right now and I’ll rush back overnight!"

Wu Xia said through gritted teeth, quickly making his stance clear.

Lin Jiao’s complex eyes shimmered with a touch of joy as she tenderly took Wu Xia’s hand.

"Xia, don’t blame me, I don’t know why I’ve become like this, maybe it’s because of pregnancy syndrome!"

"Yeah!" Wu Xia smiled gently, "It’s alright, it’s my fault, my behavior made you feel insecure, I won’t do that anymore!"

All of this was caused by Wu Xia, so he could only silently endure it.

At this moment, Wu Xia just wanted to quickly bring Zhou Fang over, to keep Lin Jiao company and divert her attention.

Everything else would have to wait until after the child was born.

Hai City is also considered a big city.

It has many large-scale shopping malls.

In these malls, there are places where cars are displayed.

With things having reached this point, Wu Xia had no thoughts of running away or delaying, he just wanted to pick a car casually.

However, when they arrived at the nearest car display area in a shopping mall, they ran into Xu Qing and her mother Zhang Xue.

It turned out this was one of the Xu Family’s display spots, and they just happened to be inspecting it today.

The encounter made everyone feel somewhat awkward.

When Xu Qing saw Wu Xia, her eyes were incredibly complex, even somewhat resentful, but upon seeing Lin Jiao’s slightly protruding belly, Xu Qing held back her tears and still managed to show a pale smile.

"Mr. Wu, Miss Lin, long time no see!"

Xu Qing could control her emotions because she knew she was not meant to be with Wu Xia.

But Zhang Xue next to her couldn’t control herself.

She was already in her forties. She hadn’t been in good health before, so she hadn’t thought much about certain desires, but now that her health had recovered, those desires grew stronger.

Especially after Wu Xia had reached places inside her that no one else had, giving her the true pleasure of being a woman, she felt ten years younger, wanting it every night.

But Xu Qing’s father was getting on in years, not to mention the short duration, his firmness wasn’t enough either.

This left Zhang Xue frequently having erotic dreams, with the image of making love with Wu Xia in the bathtub always surfacing in her mind, making her yearn for Wu Xia.

Everyone at home thought Zhang Xue was sick and sent her to the hospital. The doctor said she was under psychological pressure, somewhat depressed, so Xu Qing had been taking her out to relax.

Zhang Xue only looked a few years older than Xu Qing, so people thought they were sisters, which actually brought good publicity to the company.

Zhang Xue’s fire had been suppressed due to her time outside recently.

Just, she hadn’t expected to encounter Wu Xia here today, igniting the burning flames in her heart in an instant.

If it weren’t for her daughter being by her side, and another woman next to Wu Xia, she might have rushed up and hugged Wu Xia right there.

Lin Jiao immediately noticed Zhang Xue’s odd behavior and cast a meaningful smile towards Wu Xia.

Wu Xia shuddered and quickly said, "Mrs. Zhang, Mr. Xu, long time no see!"

Zhang Xue was also awakened by that call to "Auntie," her face turning red and then pale as she looked down.

"Mr. Wu, you don’t have to be so formal. Are you looking to buy a car?"

Xu Qing hadn’t noticed her mother’s strangeness and spoke to Wu Xia in a poised and proper manner.

"Yes!"

Wu Xia nodded, "We’re planning to buy a large-sized business van!"

"Mr. Wu, I happen to have one, I’ll take you there!"

Zhang Xue blurted out in panic, her body involuntarily moving forward as she pulled Wu Xia away.

Everyone was stunned, even Xu Qing’s eyes widened, not expecting her mother to act so suddenly.

"Cough cough!" Zhang Xue awkwardly coughed, "Mr. Wu, you’re my life-saver, whatever car you want we’ll give it to you for free. You should come with me and look first, it will definitely satisfy you!"

Saying so, she turned to Xu Qing, "Xia Qing, please keep Miss Lin company here, I’ll take Mr. Wu to look!"

Without giving anyone a chance to react, she dragged Wu Xia away.

The air was thick with an undeniable suggestiveness.

Xu Qing’s face completely darkened. As a woman, and one who had slept with Wu Xia, how could she not understand what her mother’s behavior implied?

At that moment, her heart was trembling.

"My mother has also slept with him..."
