After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! - Chapter 628

628 Preparing to Go on a Business Trip

“The flower pots in your courtyard are all from my place. You must have brought back my flowers too. I can still smell their faint fragrance in your courtyard,” He Ning said.

Was He Ning a dog in his past life? His nose was so sharp. After Qiao Mei brought back those flowers and nurtured them carefully, they came back to life in just a week. Now, as long as he watered them patiently and fertilized them regularly, they would grow well.

In the past two days, some of them had even bloomed. Xia Wen originally thought that it was a good sign, but he did not expect it to be such bad luck!

“These are all things that Qiao Mei bought. How can they still be considered yours? You must have consigned these things at the nursery, right? Qiao Mei bought them at the market price. There was money exchanged for goods. These are our family’s things and have nothing to do with you,” Xia Wen said.

!!
He Ning did not say anything else and quietly ate his grapes while admiring the scenery in the courtyard. He did not expect Qiao Mei to not only be beautiful, but also have superb culinary skills and a very smart mind. Now, he had discovered another of her good points.

His intention to get her to divorce Xia Zhe and bring her home to be his cook became clearer and clearer. If he could get Qiao Mei to be his nanny, he would be able to live for another 50 years!

“Alright, I’ll make arrangements for this in the next two days. Just wait and see the end results.” He Ning got up and prepared to leave.

“Three days at most,” Xia Wen said.

“Deal.” After saying that, He Ning took the entire bunch of grapes from the plate and placed them in Huo Gao’s hand, not even missing out on the few grapes that had fallen onto the plate.

Xia Wen had personally told him that this bunch of grapes was a gift for him. It was not too much for him to take it with him.

He Ning was almost at the door when Huo Gao came back to his senses. He awkwardly held onto the bunch of grapes and bade farewell to Xia Wen before rushing out.

It was too embarrassing! Too embarrassing! Huo Gao had never been so embarrassed in all his years of life!

Xia He walked out of the main hall and said angrily, “Why did you give them grapes!”

“If I don’t give it to him, he will sit here for an entire day. It’s just a bunch of grapes. It’s fine,” Xia Wen said resignedly as he sat on the stool.

“I get so angry when I see him! If it’s not because he came to talk about Qiao Mei’s matter! I wouldn’t have let him in!” Xia He punched and kicked in the direction of the door, pretending that she was hitting He Ning.

Xia Wen was amused by her expression and held back his laughter as he said, “You should be glad that he didn’t take away the plate when he took the grapes and left just now. Qiao Mei bought this plate from the antique market.”

“How can he have the cheek to take it away! I’m so angry! The next time he comes by, I definitely won’t let him off easily!” Xia He said angrily.

“This matter is considered resolved, let’s not talk about it in the future. Hurry up and clean up the courtyard. You take some grapes back to Aunt and I’ll send some to our parents so that they won’t rot here,” Xia Wen said mindfully.

“And Grandpa Zhou! Before Qiao Mei left, she instructed me to send more grapes to Grandpa Zhou when they’re ripe,” Xia He said.

“Sure.” The two siblings carefully packed up all the grapes. Xia Wen cut the grapes while Xia He put them into bags at the side. The two of them quickly finished the task with good teamwork.

He Ning sat in the car and ate the grapes with relish. He suddenly thought of something and said to Huo Gao, “Do you have anything on recently?”

“Me? I have nothing on. Don’t I just follow you around?” Huo Gao said.

“Then come with me on a business trip to Foshan Village,” He Ning said calmly as if he was talking about going home.

Going to the north now would only be harmful to He Ning’s health and not beneficial at all. His workload would increase again!

“Can I choose not to go? Can’t you ask your attendant to go with you?” Huo Gao said bitterly.

“No, he can’t take care of my health. You have to go. I’ll pay extra,” He Ning said with a smile.

He decided to go for the sake of the extra money. After all, two days ago, his wife had told him that she wanted to buy a very expensive skincare product. He did not know much about women’s products, but if she liked it, he would buy it for her.

“Do you really have to go? The weather there is not as comfortable as in the capital. You won’t be able to take it,” Huo Gao said worriedly.
