Chapter 2209: Love at First Sight

Editor: Atlas Studios

When they arrived at the farm, Qiao Mei saw an unbelievable scene the moment she walked in. Gao Long had his arms around Xia Wan and they were riding a horse together!

“Um… did I come at the wrong time…” Qiao Mei muttered softly.

“Miss Park Wan and Young Master Gao Long hit it off very well. The two of them were like old friends the moment they met,” Gao He said.

Qiao Mei was unable to process this information for a moment. She needed to think of a way to go home and answer to Second Aunt-in-law and Xia Jun.

Due to Xia Zhe’s work here, Xia Wan had to use an alias, like what Xia He did. They had also changed the person in charge of the farm from Xia He to Xia Wan. Qiao Mei did not know how Xia Wan and Gao Long ended up together, but the age gap between the two of them was actually not too big and they could be considered a good match.

“Mei Mei!” Xia Wan exclaimed.

When Gao Long saw Qiao Mei, he rode closer slowly. After Xia Wan got off the horse, she quickly ran to Qiao Mei and hugged her, saying happily, “When did you arrive! I thought Eldest Brother said that you would only arrive tomorrow!”

“I changed my flight. Eldest Brother informed Butler Xu directly about this matter. He probably didn’t tell you since it was so last minute,” Qiao Mei said.

“The neighbors in the small town know that you’re coming back. Everyone has sent gifts. Some of the gifts are food, so we’ll use it to make dinner for you tonight. The rest of the gifts are in your room,” Gao Long said.

Gao Long had bought all the available land around the farm and built an identical villa next to Qiao Mei’s villa.

Qiao Mei stood in front of the two villas and felt a little shocked. She could not understand why even the bricks and tiles outside were of the same color and the details were exactly the same, down to the placement of the house numbers.

“At that time, I also felt that it was very strange, but he said that it was for the uniformity of the aesthetics. I still feel that it looks strange though. However, he was the actual builder after all, so I did not raise any objections,” Xia Wan whispered as she leaned on Qiao Mei’s shoulder.

“Sigh… I’m fine. It’s just that it’s too visually impactful,” Qiao Mei said.

Qiao Mei had brought Xia Wan a lot of food that was only available in their home country. Everything was good in Country M, except for food. People in Country M liked sweet stuff and added sugar to everything they ate, but it was different back in the capital. People in the capital preferred savory food.

“I’ve been missing food from home for a long time! You know me so well!” Xia Wan said happily.

“Luo Yu and the others can’t come on the same flight with me. I have asked them to bring some food with them as well. You’ll be able to eat your fill!” Qiao Mei said.

Qiao Mei looked around at the furnishings in the house. It looked exactly the same as when she left. Nothing had been touched at all and there were no traces of Xia Wan and her daughter living here. Xia Wan’s daughter was originally named Chen Nian. After Xia Wan got a divorce, she changed her surname and called herself Xia Nian. After she came to Country M, her name was naturally “Pu Nian”.

“Where’s Xiao Nian? When is she coming back? Where are you staying?” Qiao Mei asked.

“Xiao Nian is studying here now and she can’t keep up with the pace. After all, she’s not familiar with the language. However, she’s a hardworking child and Gao Long also helps her with her homework. I believe that she will be able to catch up with her classmates very soon,” Xia Wan said.

However, Xia Wan only talked about Xia Nian’s situation and did not mention where they were staying now. Qiao Mei waved her hand and asked the helpers in the house to leave. There were only the two of them in the living room now.

“Elder Cousin, we’re family. How long are you going to hide it from me?” Qiao Mei said resignedly.

“I… I’m not trying to hide it from you. I just don’t know what to say…” Xia Wan lowered her head and said in a low voice.

Qiao Mei could understand where Xia Wan was coming from. After all, it was indeed very difficult to talk about this matter. When Xia Wan and her daughter first came to Country M, Butler Xu was the one who went to pick them up. At first, they were not used to everything and Xia Wan was so scared that she did not dare to go out of the house at all. The two of them stayed in the helper’s room for more than a month before they dared to go to the small town to talk to the neighbors.

Every month, Gao Long would come to Qiao Mei’s farm to take a look at the accounts. By chance, he bumped into Xia Wan, who was doing some farming. Gao Long fell in love with Xia Wan at first sight and started to crazily profess his love after that. At first, Xia Wan rejected him, but she was gradually moved by his sincerity. She could tell that he was serious about the relationship and respected her and Xia Nian very much.

“I… I know about your relationship with Gao Long. I have told him about everything about my past. Gao Long says that he is willing to wait until the day I agree to marry him.”

“He’s been faithful to me this whole time and has also done his best for Xiao Nian. Even I, as her mother, don’t do as much. Therefore, I agree that we can try to date first. As for the future, I have to ask my family members and you for all your opinions before I decide,” Xia Wan said.
