Heyday Love: A Heaven-sent Husband

Chapter 178 In the Eye of the Storm

Xia Ning looks at Yi Yunrui’s anxious eyes. She opens her mouth. But in the end, she smiles, “Nothing. Maybe it is cold.”

Yi Yunrui gently looks at her. He takes off his coat and puts it on Xia Ning, “Come here. Get closer to me, so that you won’t feel cold.”

Xia Ning holds the warm and strong body of Yi Yunrui. At the moment, her terrified heart gets much calmer. She takes a deep breath and nods?throwing herself into Yi Yunrui’s embrace quietly.

She smells the special fresh aroma of Yi Yunrui and feels her heart calm down. She looks through the window at the stars in the sky and curls her lips to smile.

Maybe what she felt just now was only her illusion.

Knight XV slowly goes. In the dark night, a pair of vicious eyes are opening slowly through the darkness.

...

Yi Yunrui and Xia Ning drank some wine. Zhang Hai drives the car.

Ever since they left the reception, Yi Yunrui has said nothing all the way. Xia Ning is a little worried, “Darling, why don’t you talk?”

Yi Yunrui lowers his head to look at her for quite a while. Then, he asks, “Sweetheart, do you like powerful and strong men or graceful and wise men?”

Xia Ning is surprised to hear that. After a while, she says, “Darling, what do you mean?”

Yi Yunrui stokes her forehead and responds slowly, “Sweetheart, your husband is an army man. I am careless. Sometimes, I don’t understand women. But I hope that if I do something wrong, tell me and correct me so that I will patiently change for that, will you?”

He murmurs by her ear. Xia Ning finally understands what her lovely husband is worried about.

He is afraid that he can’t be comparable to Gu Luan!

It is correct. Yi Yunrui is powerful and strong, while Gu Luan is graceful and wise.

Thinking of this, Xia Ning can’t help laughing, “Darling, what are you thinking about? It can’t be compared. It is not to be compared.”

Hearing the words “not to be compared”, Yi Yunrui is a little anxious, “Why is it not to be compared?”

Does she mean that...he is not as good as Gu Luan?”

Xia Ning helplessly rolls her eyes and leans to his chest, “Because you are my husband and he is my supervisor. The one with me is you. Haha, therefore, you are not to be compared.”

Hearing this, Yi Yunrui gives a sigh of real relief. He holds her more tightly, “Still, I hope I can grow to be the perfect man for my wife.”

Xia Ning smiles sweetly. She murmurs, “Silly, you are already the most perfect man in my mind.”

She knows that the Yi Yunrui with her is totally different from the one in the army. It is really not easy for him to do so.

What else can she ask for?

Maybe because they drank the wine, Yi Yunrui and Xia Ning make love for the whole night...

When Xia Ning wakes up the next day, she finds that Commander Yi who has never made coffee makes hot coffee unexpectedly. He prepares a whole table of western breakfast for her.

She surely knows the meaning of Commander Yi. They were too crazy in the previous night.

It seems that Commander Yi also drank some coffee before he left.

Looking at the warm coffee in the coffeepot and thinking that Yi Yunrui went to the military region with the black rims, Xia Ning can’t help laughing.

She wonders when he gets to the military region, whether someone dares make fun of the Commander’s eyes.

Anyway, he is known as an iron-blood commander in the military region. There are few people who dare make fun of him.

After drinking two cups of coffee and patting some cold water on her face, Xia Ning applies some oily essence to her nose to fresh herself up. Xia Ning feels that she has got back her enthusiasm for work again.

It takes her fifteen minutes to drive to the news building.

She finds that Gu Ruoruo has prepared the coffee for her.

Seeing Gu Ruoruo’s red face, Xia Ning teases her, “After I left last night, did you do any bad things with my elder brother?”

Gu Ruoruo hears Xia Ning’s words. Her face gets redder. She says, “Sister Xia, what are you saying? My brother picked me up after the reception.”

“Oh?” Gu Luan picked up Gu Ruoruo? That is really disappointing.

Anyway, Gu Ruoruo is so young. There is no need to hurry.

However, ... based on Gu Luan’s attitude to Yi Yunrui, she wonders how he will think about the relation between Gu Ruoruo and Yi Yunyi.

Xia Ning glances at the coffee prepared by Gu Ruoruo. It is with a lot of milk. Xia Ning takes a sip of it. It is very sweet.

It is strange. The little girl never made such sweet coffee. What happens today?

And, Gu Ruoruo used to call her Director Xia and now she calls her Sister Xia again. Why?

Gu Ruoruo is still standing there. Xia Ning curls her lips and puts down the coffee cup, “You may close the door and speak out what you want.”

Gu Ruoruo’s eyes brighten. She turns to close the door and sits down in front of Xia Ning, “Sister Xia, may I talk with you about something not about work?”

Xia Ning lifts her eyebrows, “If it is bad wording about me. We may not...”

“No. It is not bad wording about you.” Gu Ruoruo waves her hand, “Actually, I want to ask why you didn’t resist that vicious fat woman last evening.”

“According to you, how can I resist?” Xia Ning smiles.

Gu Ruoruo thinks for a while, “If that had happened to me, I would have poured her overall and added something to her face. Hahaha!”

Seeing Gu Ruoruo laughing happily and trembling, Xia Ning twitches her lip and makes a cough, “Miss Gu Ruoruo, there were many famous people in the reception. You had to take the image of you and your companion into account. You are right. It would be funnier to act like what you said. But what would people say about you after that?”

“I never care about how other people think about me.”

“Good. You don’t care. What about your Brother Yi? Don’t you care about what people say about your Brother Yi, either?”

Gu Ruoruo is shocked. She blinks her bright eyes for quite a while, “Well. I can’t humiliate Brother Yi! Anyway, Sister Xia, you had to do something. That fat woman is so vicious.”

Xia Ning smiles and gives no comments.

Something should be experienced by Gu Ruoruo herself. If it is told by Xia Ning, Gu Ruoruo will think that Xia Ning does it for bad intentions.

Gu Ruoruo finds that Xia Ning doesn’t want to continue the topic. She feels bored. Suddenly, she remembers something important that she has not asked about. She asks at once, “Sister Xia, do you know what Brother Yi likes? Such as something to eat? Something to wear? Or, hobbies and interests? Sister Xia, Brother Yi is your second elder brother. Please tell me.”

Xia Ning blinks her eyes. To be honest, she has been married for over two years, but she seldom met Yi Yunyi, not to mention knowing his hobbies and interests. From the earnest expression on Gu Ruoruo’s face, the relation between Yi Yunrui and Gu Ruoruo is imaginable. At first, Yi Yunyi courted Gu Ruoruo. Now, Gu Ruoruo tends to take the initiative.

This is good.

Xia Ning thinks for a while, “Ruoruo, frankly speaking, I don’t know.” Seeing Gu Ruoruo depressed, Xia Ning continues, “Don’t worry. Though I don’t know, it doesn’t mean that my husband doesn’t know. I will find the time to ask about that for you.”

“Really? That’s great.” Gu Ruoruo happily holds Xia Ning’s hand, “Sister Xia, please find the time to ask about that for me.”

Xia Ning nods, “Hum. I will.” Guo Ruoruo is just like a kid. If she is pleased, she will listen to Xia Ning.

“Well.” as if she remembers something, Gu Ruoruo says in a low voice, “Sister Xia, this is only between you and me. Please don’t tell others, not even Brother Yi.”

Xia Ning is shocked. She smiles, “OK. However, I have to make it clear. Ruoruo, to be honest, my brother is the secretary of the provincial party committee and everything about him is paid a lot of attention by other people. Ruoruo, if you really want to be with him, you have to learn to be considerate and tolerant. Can you do that?”

To be considerate...and tolerant...

Gu Ruoruo holds her head and thinks for a while, “I think...I should be able to do that. I will try.”

Xia Ning plans to say more, but she thinks that she should give the girl a break for now and wait for the natural development.

When she was with Yi Yunrui, her condition was just like that of Gu Ruoruo.

Thus, as an outsider, she should not interfere too much. In addition, the second elder brother may have his idea. He must be clearer about how to guide Gu Ruoruo.

Thinking of this, Xia Ning says, “It is work time. You may go out to work.”

“Oh.” Gu Ruoruo knows that Xia Ning is telling her to leave. Though unwillingly, she leaves quietly.

When Xia Ning is just getting down to work, her phone suddenly gives the alarm of messages. She reads the message and can’t help turning pale.

The message is from Yin Jingyao.

The content is like this: Sister Xia, thanks for your forgiveness. I will go back to the country this afternoon. Please keep in touch. Jingyao.

Xia Ning’s eyes darken. Keep in touch...

It sounds abnormally wired.

Does Yin Jingyao learn her lessons after staying abroad for over two years and become considerate?

Or...does she have other purposes?

As if there are doubts unsolved in her mind, Xia Ning feels uneasy the whole morning, wondering what the message from Yin Jingyao is hinting at.

There is a regular meeting at three in the afternoon. In the meeting, Gu Luan deliberately mentions the selection of excellent staff of the company. Each department is granted a candidate. Though Gu Luan doesn’t tell clearly what his opinion is, from the way he looks at Xia Ning, everyone can guess his selection.

It makes Xia Ning depressed.

She notices that ever since she came back from Yin Jingsi’s, Gu Luan has changed the attitude towards her.

He changed...and is not like the one she knew before.

Now, when Gu Luan looks at her, she can often find something else in his eyes. Though she warned him again and again, Gu Luan still did as he liked.

After the meeting, many colleagues come to show their appreciations. Xia Ning sees the deliberate smiles of them and feels a great pressure.

She is not good at social communication and always keeps low key at work. What Gu Luan did directly pushes her into the eye of the storm.

Finally, Xia Ning finishes the conversations with her colleagues from all departments and goes back to her office. Gu Ruoruo comes in, “Sister Xia, someone is asking for you. She has been waiting for you outside for quite a while.”
