My Secret Marriage : Meet With The Best One - Chapter 123

This afternoon, everyone seemed to be busy. The Tao of preparing meat and cutting fresh fish was assisted by Mei, while Li Xuan was busy preparing the embers. Xuan Cheng, who is known as an expert in grilling, also prepared a small fan, then he stood up and checked whether the grill was ready or not.

“You know, if we burn anything with charcoal from teak wood then the aroma will really be very delicious, we can even enjoy all of this very deliciously,” Li Xuan said excitedly. Then he looked at Xuan Cheng, who was already busy with the few things that were there. “How? Can you bake well? Usually, you grill with an electric grill, using a manual grill like this, I’m afraid you’ll scorch everything in here,” he continued later.

Xuan Cheng seemed to chuckle, and then he glanced at Li Xuan with an annoyed look. How not? This is a very annoying thing when he is belittled like this.

“At least I’m much smarter than you at this matter,” Xuan Cheng said. Li Xuan chuckled again.

“Is the grill ready? The meat and everything is ready,” said Mei..

Li Xuan immediately stood up, and then he took some fish that Mei and Tao had prepared.

“Mei, have you ever eaten meat from a teak charcoal grill? If not, then you should enjoy it while it’s warm. You’ll like it very much,” Li Xuan said. Mei smiled too.

“Okay, Mr. Li. Looks like you really are a man who really likes nature,” Mei said in praise. Li Xuan smiled broadly, and then he looked at Tao, who had been silent for a while looking at Qiao Xin’s tent, who seemed to be very worried.

“Tao, why do you keep looking at sister Qiao Xin’s tent? She won’t disappear, so calm down and focus on all of this. here, you help me to prepare everything, the seasoning and also the rice must be cooked right?”

Hearing that, Tao seemed to gasp, and then he smiled stiffly. It was not that he was afraid that Qiao Xin would disappear, but that he was worried that they would come out of the tent until Qiao Xin and Xiao Long woke up. Everyone here knew that the two of them had been sleeping together in the same tent because neither Li Xuan nor Xuan Cheng knew that Qiao Xin and Xiao Long were husband and wife.

“It’s not like that, Mr. Li. It’s just that I want to make sure that sister Qiao Xin is okay. Because she had a little fever,” Tao said later.

Xuan Cheng, who heard that seemed to pull an eyebrow, which made him even more worried. How could he not? He even just found out that Qiao Xin had a fever too.

“What? Qiao Xin has a fever?” Xuan Cheng was shocked. Tao then glanced at Mei, and it seemed that he had said something wrong. Why did he have to say that Qiao Xin had a fever? If it were like this, then Xuan Cheng would be even more worried. “I’ll check it out,”

“Do not!” shouted Mei as well as Tao hysterically.

Tao and Mei looked at each other again with their confused looks. They had to find the best way to make Xuan Cheng believe.

“Let me check on Qiao Xin, I’m a girl. After all, it’s inappropriate for Mr. Xuan to make things no good at all,” Mei said.

Mei seemed to be cursing herself. How not? This is a terrible thing. If she gets into the tent, then she will be the one who will be embarrassed later. How could Mei have to wake up a husband and wife who were resting in this way? A very annoying thing.

“Well, yes it’s true that you should have done it, Mei. Hurry up and check on Qiao Xin to see if she’s feeling better or not,” Tao said later. The two of them looked at each other with unusually stiff expressions on their faces. Then the two of them rushed over to Qiao Xin’s tent.

“What should we do, Tao?” Mei whispered. The two seemed to be elbowing each other as they walked briskly towards Qiao Xin’s tent. When the two were in Qiao Xin’s tent, the two of them were again silent. What should both of them do? Something that doesn’t make any sense at all.

“Why are you guys standing there? Hurry up and check on Qiao Xin’s cute little sister!” Li Xuan shouted.

Mei returned a weak smile, then she nodded her head, which was a perfect thing.

“How about this? How can I enter the tent while Mr. Han and Qiao Xin are sleeping together, I would be such a presumptuous friend,” Mei said in a half-whisper.

“Come in, come in. Later when Young Mr. Han gets angry I will explain everything. You just have to enter the tent slowly, quietly quietly without disturbing them to sleep, after a while you come out, pretend to have checked Young Lady Han’s condition, and say that you have checked Young Lady Han and Young Lady’s condition. Han is fine. How? Is that better?” Tao suggested.

Mei seemed to swallow her saliva hard, and then she nodded her head perfectly. A thing that must be done even though it has a very long risk. Then she entered the tent very carefully, opened the tent’s door, and saw Qiao Xin and Xiao Long, who had joined asleep with each other. Mei seemed to close her eyes. This was inappropriate behaviour at all, making her feel very uneasy. How could she not? She was distraught because she was in a situation like this, which was a nuisance to two lovebirds sleeping together. Until finally, Xiao Long seemed to move restlessly until Mei was shocked and she fell completely. Tao, who heard the commotion inside the tent, rushed to see it too. Tao and Mei immediately squealed in surprise to see Xiao Long had opened his eyes perfectly.

“You-”

“Mr. Han, don’t talk yet,” Mei said in a half-whisper. Xiao Long frowned, even he had just woken up already saw Mei in the tent while he and Qiao Xin were resting. “I’m sorry, Mr. Han. I was forced to go in and interrupt your rest together with Qiao Xin. Really, I didn’t mean to bother you at all. These days, Mr. Xuan always insists on meeting with Qiao Xin, wanting to check on Qiao Xin and make sure that Qiao Xin is okay or not. That’s why I had to go in, because I didn’t want him to come in and Mr. Xuan to see you two sleeping together. Moreover, Tao said that Mr. Han was at the lake, if Mr. Li and Mr. Xuan found out that Mr. Han came out of Qiao Xin’s tent they would be very suspicious and find out that you two are husband and wife, wouldn’t it be like that?” said Mei again.

“What Mei said is true, Young Mr. Han. During your rest we are truly afraid that Mr. Xuan will enter without permission, which is why we tried our best to deceive them. so don’t blame Mei at all, Young Mr. Han.”

Hearing that, Xiao Long seemed to take a deep breath, and then he nodded his head as well. How not, this was quite a trivial matter, indeed, but he also had to do his best for the sake of Qiao Xin, who still wanted to keep their marriage a secret.

“Okay, I’ll come out from behind the tent, you guys stay here so they don’t suspect,” Xiao Long decided. He carefully moved his body away from Qiao Xin, untied one of the tent’s ties. He came out from behind, sneaking perfectly, then walked towards the lake. After he sensed that everything was very conducive, Xiao Long stood up and walked over to the tent as if he had just come back from the lake.

“Hey, Xiao Long! Where have you been? Come on over here!” Li Xuan shouted. Xiao Long smiled stiffly, then he approached Li Xuan and Xuan Cheng, glancing at Tao, who had just come out of the tent with Mei. The expressions on their faces were much more relaxed than before. They were terrified.

“Why did you just show up? Are you reflecting on your mistake for yelling at Qiao Xin earlier?” Xuan Cheng quipped. Li Xuan, who heard that, immediately hit Xuan Cheng, then Li Xuan looked at Xiao Long perfectly. They pulled Xiao Long’s hand to sit down, and then Li Xuan patted Xiao Long’s shoulder perfectly.

“Don’t take it to heart, let’s help me arrange all this food,” Li Xuan asked. Xiao Long only glanced at Xuan Cheng with his annoyed look, and then he completely ignored him.

“How is Qiqi doing, is she okay?” Xiao Long asked then, clearing his throat, he asked Li Xuan. How could he not ask like that? Of course, he couldn’t possibly pretend that he had slept together with Qiao Xin. Especially the last time he had yelled at Qiao Xin this afternoon.

“Shee is in good condition, Cheng’s wound has been treated, and she only has a slight fever. Mei and Tao have already taken care of sister Qiao Xin, she will be fine, trust me, you don’t need to worry. I also know that you are very worried about sister Qiao Xin, what you did just now was nothing but because you were worried about her. That’s what happened, so you don’t have to worry.”

Xiao Long fell silent again, and then he smiled wryly, somehow Li Xuan is so cute now, a thing that is beyond reason.
