Chapter 119 The Female General Who Did Not Love Makeup (24)
Seeing this, Xia Mingwei finally felt completely relieved.
She quickly sat down and used her internal energy to force out the laced wine.
Xiao Ba finally felt relieved when he saw Xia Mingwei spit out the glass of wine.
It said with a worried expression, "Host, that really scared me to death! I almost thought our connection had been severed and you couldn't hear me anymore!"
Seeing Xiao Ba's face, which was almost in tears, Xia Mingwei quickly comforted her, "It's okay! It was my fault this time. I'll buy you lots of good food after this mission is over!"
Hearing this, Hachiko perked up immediately. But it still said angrily, "I won't be bought off by such a small favor and forgive you so easily!"
That round little face paired with its childish voice was just too adorable! If she weren't still on a mission, Xia Mingwei would definitely have hugged it tightly and "tortured" it a bit!
She patted Xiao Ba's head and continued patiently, "It was wrong of me to make you worry this time. I promise I will never act on my own again! Please forgive me this time, okay?" As Xia Mingwei spoke, she gently shook Xiao Ba's little hand. Under Xia Mingwei's repeated attempts to charm and show weakness, Xiao Ba finally gave in.
But she still forced a straight face and said, "It's not impossible for me to forgive you, but you have to agree to my request!" "What request?" Xia Mingwei asked almost without hesitation.
Hearing this, Xiao Ba paused for a moment, then resumed her previous bashful state. "Didn't you just say you were going to buy me snacks? If you want me to forgive you, one bag of snacks won't do; you'll need five big bags!"
After saying this, Hachiko excitedly rubbed its little hands together. The smile on its face was impossible to hide, as if it could already see a pile of snacks beckoning to it!
Xia Mingwei, who had expected Xiao Ba to make many unreasonable demands, was stunned on the spot.
She had mentally prepared herself, but Xiao Ba's wish was for five big bags of snacks, which rendered her prepared explanation useless.
At that moment, she felt a mix of emotions, much like the jokes circulating online today: "I washed myself clean, even took my pants off, and this is what you show me?"
As a result, Xia Mingwei readily agreed. After all, what could she do when her child was so innocent? She was her own child, so she had to spoil her!
Seeing Xia Mingwei agree so readily, Xiao Ba immediately regretted it! It tapped its little head, feeling remorseful, and said, "How could I be so stupid! If I had known my host would agree so readily, I should have asked for a few more bags of snacks!"
Xia Mingwei found Xiao Ba's actions amusing. However, remembering the upcoming mission, she steadied herself and continued speaking.
"Xiao Ba, don't you want to see what happened after Zhou Ying left?" Xia Mingwei's reminder brought Xiao Ba's thoughts back on track.
Realizing that he hadn't finished his task, Xiao Ba waved his little hand, and the scene shifted to Zhou Ying leaving the house.
She walked with light steps and a smile on her lips, as if she had accomplished something of great significance in her life.
She made her way through a maze of turns and finally arrived at Hawaii's yard.
The two dismissed the servants and began to speak.
"Mother, did you give her that cup of wine?" Xia Wei asked anxiously.
Zhou Ying gently patted Xia Wei's hand and gave him a reproachful look.
"Don't you trust your mother's judgment? I saw her drink it with my own eyes, so you can rest assured!"
Hearing this answer, Xia Wei felt he had achieved most of his goal and smiled with satisfaction. However, he quickly asked with doubt, "Didn't she suspect anything?"
"Of course she'd be suspicious. Mother also drank the wine, but I drank the non-poisoned side, while she, of course, drank the poisoned side!"
Seeing Zhou Ying's confidence, Xia Wei finally felt relieved. He thought to himself, "If only I had known this would dispel that bitch's idea, why did I do what I did in the first place! She found out, and I ruined my health for nothing!" But then he thought again, his health was beyond repair anyway, so dragging her into this mess was a good thing!
He thought that she might have to beg him for help in the future, and the thought of seeing Xia Mingwei groveling for mercy filled him with a sense of exhilaration.
Thinking of this, he felt much lighter. He struggled to get up, almost impatient to see Xia Mingwei at the mercy of others.
Zhou Ying tried to stop him, but she couldn't resist Xia Wei's insistence, so she could only let him go. Soon after, Xia Wei, supported by servants, rushed towards Xia Mingwei's room.
Zhou Ying had already spread the word that Xia Wei had caught a cold. The illness was severe, and they were seeking a good doctor at great expense.
Even on such a joyous day as today, Xia Wei claimed to be ill and did not attend! So it was perfectly normal that no one could see Xia Wei in the bustling front yard.
Seeing that Xia Wei was about to arrive at her courtyard, Xia Mingwei quickly lay down.
To prevent his sordid thoughts from being exposed to others, Xia Wei even sent his servants away.
Since Xia Wei's health deteriorated, his temper had become increasingly volatile. He was always gloomy and sullen, inexplicably frightening to behold. The servants were extremely cautious, fearing that a single misstep could cost them their lives. Now, how could they possibly disobey his orders?
After everyone had left, Xia Wei pushed open the door. Parting the curtain, he saw Xia Mingwei fast asleep.
To verify whether Xia Mingwei had fainted from the drug, he tentatively called out "sister" twice. He carefully examined Xia Mingwei's face and, finding no change whatsoever, was completely relieved.
His hand caressed Xia Mingwei's face, as cold and frightening as a venomous snake lurking in the shadows.
All that could be heard was him muttering to himself, "My dear sister, did you ever imagine this day would come when you attacked me? What good are your merits and hardships? You still have to obey your mother's arrangements and get married! I've inquired about that young master Wu you're marrying; he's a rare find! After you get married, your future is far from over!"
After rambling on and on, he stood up. Looking at Xia Mingwei's sleeping face, he still felt unsatisfied. He raised his foot, intending to kick her hard.
Unexpectedly, before his footprints could land on Xia Mingwei, his feet were grabbed by a pair of hands.
