Chapter 2208: Flying to Country M

Xia Wen worked very fast. He immediately contacted the operator of a private plane that was used to receive his foreign counterparts and for local officials to travel overseas for business. Xia Wen used his connections to quietly secure four seats.
Qiao Mei went home happily to pack her luggage. The children seemed to sense that they were about to go somewhere and took the initiative to pack their own clothes. They even secretly hid a few small gifts in the luggage.
Feng Hua was the one who told Qiao Mei all these things. Qiao Mei did not bother to check on what the children had hidden. After all, it was meant to be a surprise, so there was no point in looking into it.
Qiao Mei’s happiness only lasted until right before she boarded the plane because she realized that the person sitting in the neighboring seat was He Ning!
“What a coincidence~” He Ning said in surprise. He was on a business trip and did not expect to bump into Qiao Mei on the plane.
“Why is it you?” Qiao Mei asked disdainfully.
“I’m also very curious as to why you’re next to me. I’m going to Country M on business. What about you?” He Ning asked.
“For fun,” Qiao Mei said impatiently.
He Ning did not continue to ask Qiao Mei any questions. She had previously studied in Country M. Moreover, the Gao family and Xia Wan were both there. Perhaps Qiao Mei was visiting her relatives.
He turned to look at the three children sitting in the opposite row. In the past, he was very sick of family life and felt that it was an invisible burden. However, when he saw Xia Zhe and Qiao Mei with their children, he actually felt like having a family of his own.
Xia Fan resembled Xia Zhe a lot. Not only did they look alike, but even their movements were very similar. As for Xia Xing, she looked very much like Qiao Mei and was a natural beauty. Xia Yue had the best features of both Xia Zhe and Qiao Mei. He looked at the three children and smiled gently. He could not help but wonder if his children would resemble him.
“How old are you? What are your names?” He Ning asked in a gentle tone.
The three children turned to look at Qiao Mei in unison. Seeing that Qiao Mei did not do anything, they did not dare to speak and did not even look at He Ning.
He Ning continued to ask persistently, “I know your mother. I’m not a bad person. Are you going for a holiday?”
“I don’t know,” Xia Xing said firmly as she looked at He Ning.
“What a smart child.” He Ning turned to look at Qiao Mei and continued, “You taught her well.”
“You don’t say.” Qiao Mei felt in a better mood when she heard this. She really hated He Ning, but now that they were both on the same plane, she could not disembark just because He Ning was sitting next to her.
Along the way, Qiao Mei did not speak to He Ning. He did not look at the documents in his hand and kept trying his best to talk to the three children. Xia Fan kept a cold expression on his face. Anyway, he was more curious about the world outside the plane window. Xia Xing held up a book on fairy tales and patiently read Xia Yue a story while Xia Yue babbled and repeated what his elder sister said.
Xia Xing did not read the story word for word. She would say whatever came to her mind. For example, she told a story of how the Sleeping Beauty was poisoned after eating Snow White’s apple and was eventually woken up by a kiss from the Frog Prince. Although the story was complicated and the characters were unrelated, it still managed to make sense.
“This child might have a talent for writing. I know a veteran author in the capital. If you want, I can introduce Xia Xing to him,” He Ning said as he looked at Qiao Mei seriously.
Qiao Mei was silent for a moment before saying, “This child is only five years old and doesn’t even know how to write. I’m the top scorer of the college entrance examination in the capital. At her current age, is there anything I can’t teach her? Let’s talk about it after she knows how to write.”
He Ning smiled. Qiao Mei was still as outstanding and confident as ever. This was probably why he was obsessed with having her by his side.
After arriving in Country M, Qiao Mei got off the plane with the children. This flight had landed at the airport near the small town. As Xia Wen had arranged for them to get seats on this plane through his connections, Luo Yu and the others could not take the same flight as them. They could only board a commercial flight to Country M a few days later, so the Gao family’s security team would need to take care of her for the next few days.
“Hello, Miss Pu Nan. I’m the Gao family’s butler and also Young Master Gao Long’s secretary. My name is Gao He,” Gao He said sternly as he looked at Qiao Mei.
This was the first time Qiao Mei had met Gao He. She asked curiously, “Your surname is also Gao? Then are you related to my uncle?”
“Yes, based on the family hierarchy, I should address Young Master Gao Long as Uncle. My mother and Young Master Gao Long are cousins,” Gao He explained.
“Then let’s go. Let’s go back to my house first.” After saying that, Qiao Mei handed her luggage to Gao He and got into the car with the children. She wondered what the farm looked like now and how Xia Wan was managing it.
