<h4>Chapter 371: Coming Back From Jumping Into the Lake</h4> <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>


    The two of them hurriedly finished doing their shopping and returned to the courtyard house.


    He Ning looked at the withered flowers and nts beside him and said, “Take these away quickly. Ask the experts to see if they can save them.”


    As soon the nts were removed, he felt his temples throbbing. His head hurt badly and he felt ufortable all over when he could not smell the fragrance of flowers.


    Even though the doctor could not exin why it made him feel better, he continued to surround himself with as many flowers as he could so long as it made him feel morefortable. He did not care if it was just a psychological effect.


    “Men! Get me another batch! Get the best ones!” He Ning said as he rubbed his temples.


    His attendant quickly removed the old flower pots and arranged for new flowers and nts to be moved in. Having worked for He Ning for a long time, he knew about He Ning’s headaches. He had previously bought a lot of flowers and nts and had them taken care of somewhere else. This was so that he would be able to rece the wilted flowers and nts with new batches as soon as it was required and there would be little downtime.


    It was a known fact in the capital that He Ning was unable to keep any nts alive.


    However, there were only a few types of floral fragrances that were able to alleviate He Ning’s headache. These flowers bloomed only during certain periods in a year and there was a high chance of running out when the flowers were not in season.


    This issue was a headache for all the experts. Every time the flowers ran out, He Ning would fly into a rage. Recently, the He family had started investing a lot of money into research on extending the flowering period of these nts.


    Xia Zhe and Qiao Mei arrived back at the courtyard house very quickly. After putting away their things, they returned to Xu Lan’s ce to rest.


    As soon as they walked through the door, they saw Liu Fen talking earnestly to Xia He.


    “Xiao He, how can you do this? You’re still his wife…”


    Seeing that Liu Fen was about to continue, Qiao Mei hurriedly rushed to Xia He and said, “What’s wrong you, elder sister? Why is your hair so wet? But it’s not raining today?”


    “Your elder sister jumped into the river!” Zhou Hua said with a fake show of concern.


    Qiao Mei looked at Xia He in surprise. She did not expect such a thing to have happened so early in the morning.


    “Second Aunt-inw, do we have ginger soup at home? Hurry up and get some for elder sister!” Qiao Mei said.


    Qiao Mei turned around and smiled at Liu Fen. On seeing that, Liu Fen closed her mouth awkwardly and went to the kitchen to make some ginger soup.


    Xu Lan was very surprised by Liu Fen making apromise. It seemed that this new daughter-inw of hers was quite capable of dealing with Liu Fen. Although she did not know what happened, she decided that she had to be more careful of the girl.


    “I’m fine,” Xia He said gently.


    Xia He slowly dried her hair with a towel. She was wearing old clothes that looked a little too big on her. Qiao Mei vaguely remembered that these were Xu Lan’s clothes.


    “Why did you jump into theke?” Qiao Mei asked.


    Qiao Mei had squatted down earlier and Xia Zhe went forward to help her up, bringing her to one side to sit down. Qiao Mei’s belly was much bigger now and she was not as nimble as before.


    “I went boating with him at theke in the park, but we got into an argument on the boat. We couldn’t reach an agreement, so I left him alone on the boat and swam back,” Xia He said with a smile.


    Xia He whispered into Qiao Mei’s ear proudly, “I don’t know if he cane back ashore today. He can’t swim.”


    Qiao Mei looked at Xia He with admiration. “This is such a great idea!”


    Qiao Mei looked at Xia He cautiously and asked, “Does Xia Zhe know how to swim?”


    She thought that if Xia Zhe also made her angry one day, she might be able to use this trick!


    Xia Zhe looked at Qiao Mei with a dark expression.?<i>This young girl really had a lot of ideas.</i>


    “Then you’re going to be disappointed. Our Xia Zhe has been trained in all aspects since he was young. Don’t forget that we were all trained by Eldest Aunt. We’re omnipotent.” Xia He smiled at Qiao Mei.


    <i>This youngdy was really interesting. No wonder Xia Zhe liked Qiao Mei so much.?</i>Putting aside Xia Zhe, she liked Qiao Mei very much as well.


    Qiao Mei thought for a moment and suddenly looked at Xia Zhe with an awkward smile. “Well… I don’t think I know how to swim.”


    Xia Heughed out loudly when she heard this.


    “How can you even think of leaving Xiao Zhe stranded at theke when you can’t swim? Hahahaha, why are you so funny!” Xia Heughed until tears came out of her eyes. It was impossible to tell that she had just argued with someone.


    Xia Zhe looked at Qiao Mei’s figure and sized her up. From behind, it was impossible to tell that Qiao Mei was currently pregnant. If she wore a swimsuit…
