My Fantastic Chef Wife Chapter 156 - You Are Fine

Chapter 156: You Are Fine

Ye Xiaoxian was so anxious that suddenly an idea sparked and she suddenly pushed Liu Qianqian into the lotus pond then shouted to Jia Zhenbo, “Help! Someone fell into the pond! Help!”
She then rushed over to Jia Zhenbo, dragged him and ran.
Jia Zhenbo heard that someone had fallen into the water and also felt very tense, so he ran with Ye Xiaoxian. When they got to where Liu Qianqian had fallen in, Ye Xiaoxian also pushed Jia Zhenbo hard into the pond.
It turned out that neither Liu Qianqian nor Jia Zhenbo could swim. Fortunately the pond was not deep. When they fell in the water, all they needed to do was stand up and the water reached only up to their chests.
Being in the water, Liu Qianqian tightly held onto Jia Zhenbo’s hand out of fear. “Sir, I’m so scared.”
“Miss, don’t worry. I’m here to help you to get out.”
“Sir, the mud is so deep that I can’t move my feet.”
“Well…”
Liu Qianqian looked at him in an endearing way.
“Hold my hand. Just follow my steps,” said Jia Zhenbo again.
“Mhmm.”
When they reached the edge of the pond, Jia Zhenbo first lifted Liu Qianqian up and then climbed out himself.
Ye Xiaoxian hurriedly came over to help Liu Qianqian and deliberately said her name aloud. “Liu Qianqian, are you okay?”
Liu Qianqian sneezed and rolled her eyes at Ye Xiaoxian.
You dare to push me in the water. I’ll deal with you about this later!
Jia Zhenbo heard the name “Liu Qianqian” and felt a bit surprised so quickly asking, “Miss, are you Miss Liu Qianqian?”
“Yes, thank you for saving me, sir. May I know your name?”
“I…my name is Jia Zhenbo.”
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Jia!” Liu Qianqian pretended that she did not know him.
She was now soaked through. Her hair was also wet which made her look very endearing and gave her more feminine charm. She looked very lovable.
What was more, Liu Qianqian was good-looking herself. When she was soaked, one could tell that she had a fine figure. Recently she had been eating and sleeping well, so she was a bit plump which also suited ancient people’s taste.
“Miss Qianqian, I, I met your father some days ago and you and I are meant to tie the knot.” Jia Zhenbo was a bit shy.
“Ah, so it’s you?” Liu Qianqian kept acting. “But, I heard that you refused to marry me yesterday. I don’t know what is wrong with me.”
“No, I didn’t mean that. You are…fine.” Jia Zhenbo looked at Liu Qianqian and was suddenly charmed by her.
“Really? But my pa…”
“Your father must have misunderstood something. Why don’t you wait at home for my response? I probably…I mean my pa probably will go to your house to discuss the proposal soon.”
Ye Xiaoxian secretly chuckled and then said, “I don’t think you should continue talking like this. Mr. Jia, as you are going to bring up the proposal and Qianqian is soaked wet, I’m worried that she’ll catch a cold. May I trouble you to take her home?”
Jia Zhenbo said quickly, “I should, I should. Did Miss Qianqian come here by horse-drawn carriage? Would you mind going home in my carriage? I don’t mind my carriage getting wet at all.”
Liu Qianqian sneezed again and then said timidly, “That sounds nice. I…I’ll do as you say, Mr. Jia.”
Jia Zhenbo then looked at Ye Xiaoxian. “Is this lady your friend, Miss Qianqian? Do you need me to arrange someone to take you home?”
“Don’t mind me,” Ye Xiaoxian said quickly. “My husband will come to pick me up later. Hurry up and go, or Qianqian will catch a cold.”
Jia Zhenbo did not dare to delay any longer and escorted Liu Qianqian to his carriage.
