Heyday Love: A Heaven-sent Husband

Chapter 580 - Late Wedding Gift

Chapter 580 Late Wedding Gift

Seeing Yi Yunrui’s affectionate eyes, Xia Ning’s heartbeat quickens. A wave of happiness surges from her heart. She flushes unconsciously.

They have been married for more than four years, but they still feel that they are falling in love with each other for the first time. Every time Yi Yunrui stares at Xia Ning, she will feel sweet, happy, and moved.

The old duke stands aside, quietly looking at the couple in front of him. A beam of fire is flickering in his deep eyes. Once, he fell in love with a woman and loved her for decades. Even after she left, his deepest feelings have still tied to her until now.

He loves her in the past, at present, and in the future… His heart only belongs to her.

Lianni, the apple of his eye!

“Ahem.”

The old duke’s quiet cough attracts their attention. Yi Yunrui and Xia Ning come to their senses and become embarrassed for a moment.

“If… If I could be a few decades younger, it would be…” The old duke says meaningfully and sighs softly.

Lianni left him for more than thirty years.

If he were a young man, he could see her, hold her hands again, and go all over the world with her.

Xia Ning says awkwardly, “I’m sorry to keep you waiting. Please inform us earlier next time you visit.”

The old duke waves his hand, “Lianni had lived here for a long time, but I hadn’t seen her. Now that she has gone, I’m just here to honor her.”

Xia Ning widens her eyes. The old duke just mentioned her grandmother!

Dai Lianni!

The old duke said that he was close with her grandmother. What happened between them?

“Duke, may I ask how do you know my grandmother?”

The old duke pauses, and then he touches Xia Ning’s head, “Child, you don’t have to be so polite when you talk to me.”

Xia Ning blinks. Although he said so, she still feels much pressure in front of him.

He was born nobly. Even if he just stands there without a word, he is still honorable.

He puts out a vibe that is different from others.

“Well… I’ll try my best.”

“We’re more than that. She is my…” The old duke suddenly stops as if he thinks of something, and takes back the words that are on his lips.

Although Xia Ning is anxious, she can only wait quietly.

What the old duke didn’t say out is the most important part.

But the old duke goes quiet. Xia Ning has to remind him a few moments later, “Who is my grandmother for you?”

The old duke’s mouth moves, but he shakes his head, “Ning, we’ll talk about this later. I want to show you something.”

And then he takes out an extremely delicate brocade box featuring precious gems from his pocket and hands it to Xia Ning, “Child, open it.”

Xia Ning holds it carefully. Colorful gems are embedded in the box. One can imagine how valuable the thing inside it is.

Xia Ning gently opens the box. A dazzling light shots out from inside. She can’t help closing her eyes. When she gets used to the light, she slowly opens her eyes.

Inside the box is a ring. It’s great in material and superb in workmanship. The ring is inlaid with a large diamond, in which a unicorn is engraved.

A lifelike unicorn.

Seeing this ring, Xia Ning glances at the old duke’s hand as if she suddenly thinks of something.

The old duke wears an identical ring!

Xia Ning’s eyes widen in surprise!

“Duke, what is this ring for?”

The old duke takes out the ring in the brocade box, holds Xia Ning’s hand, and put the ring on Xia Ning’s ring finger, “Child, I didn’t give you anything on your wedding day. It’s a gift that I make up to you. I hope you don’t mind this gift is too late.”

A wedding gift?

At this moment, Xia Ning has countless questions in her mind. It is true that she knows the old duke, but they are not so familiar that the old duke has to give her a wedding gift years after her marriage.

It is really weird.

Noticing Xia Ning being puzzled, the old duke laughs, “I know what you are thinking. I’d be confused if I were you. But I want you to accept this gift first. I’ll tell you the whole story after I get things done, okay?”

Xia Ning purses her lips and nods.

“Good child.” The old duke pats Xia Ning’s head again, “Before that, I need you to promise me one thing.”

Xia Ning is stunned for a while and then she nods, “No problem. Anything.”

“Ha-ha, will you think I’m asking too much?”

Xia Ning shakes her head with a smile, “You must have your reason. As long as you remember our agreement.”

The old duke nods, “Sure I’ll remember. I need you not to tell anyone about today, about our meeting and the ring.”

Xia Ning looks at the ring. There is a touch of incomparable royal dignity in the shiny and crystal exterior, which is terrifying.

“I know. Don’t worry, Duke.”

The old duke nods. His eyes are filled with kindness, “Good, my child. Remember to take good care of this ring. Don’t lose it.”

His child?

Xia Ning becomes even more confused. The old duke has a lot of connections with her grandmother, which means that he may have some connection with her!

“Hm, I know. I will surely take good care of this ring.”

The old duke nods and turns to Yi Yunrui.

The old duke and Yi Yunrui make eye contact with each other as their eyes are wrestling. It is neck and neck.

Xia Ning stands aside. She can feel the tightness in the air clearly.

Others can barely make eye contact with Duke Davis or Yi Yunrui, let alone stare at their eyes for so long.

“Okay! The youth will always surpass the older!” Finally, Duke Davis takes the lead, patting Yi Yunrui’s shoulder heavily, “Yi Yunrui, Commander Yi! You are worthy of Ning. I recognize you on behalf of the British Davis Royal Family!”

Countless people fight all their lives to get a word of affirmation from the old duke. What he just said to Yi Yunrui is undoubtedly the highest affirmation. For common people, they would be overwhelmed and crying with excitement if they heard it.

But Yi Yunrui smiles slightly. He nods, “Thank you, Duke Davis. But whether you recognize me or not, I’m Ning’s husband. She is my wife! This won’t change forever.”

Xia Ning feels her heart is hit by something. Suddenly becoming excited, she takes a deep breath.

Yi Yunrui’s tone is so powerful and firm. She is really touched!

They will grow old together hand in hand.

What did she do right in her former life so that she could meet such a good man in this lifetime?

Hands clenching into fists, Xia Ning looks away. Her eyes are already blurred.

The old duke and Yi Yunrui both show hearty smiles. The old duke pats Yi Yunrui’s shoulder heavily again, “Ning will give birth in six months. You gotta take good care of her, father-to-be.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll take good care of my wife.”

While saying that, Yi Yunrui holds Xia Ning in his arms.

Xia Ning flushes. She tries to be free, but Yi Yunrui is so powerful that she can’t break free no matter how hard she tries. In the end, she has to let him hug her with embarrassment.

The old duke feels warmness in his heart, “Ning, Commander Yi, are you two free tomorrow night?”

Yi Yunrui and Xia Ning look at each other and reply, “Yes!”

A major hospital in C City.

“Hai, is something on your mind?” Christine asks worriedly.

Since Zhang Hai got admitted to the hospital, his brows have been furrowed, looking preoccupied.

“Eh? Nothing.” Zhang Hai shakes his head. He is peeling an apple for Christine.

Although he left the coffee shop, all he can think about is the scene in which Jing Shu and Beitang Xiu are together. He feels uncomfortable about it.

“Really?” Christine purses her lips, “Lier, you are not telling the truth!”

Zhang Hai pauses and looks at Christine.

She is smart. She has seen it all. If he continues to hide it, she will definitely get angry.

But he worries about what she will think if he tells her the truth.

“Hai.” Christine says slowly, “In our country, a couple should be honest with each other. I’m your girlfriend. You can tell me anything.”

Zhang Hai hesitates for a while and then he put down the apple, “We can talk, but you must promise me that you won’t overthink about it.”

Christine nods, “I won’t. You are my boyfriend. I trust you.”

“It happened like this. If you find out that your good friend… Or to say your sister. She is with a man that you don’t trust. What would you do?”

Christine thinks for a while, “Is she a good friend or a sister?”

“Well…” Zhang Hai scratches his head, “A friend who is really close to you that you see her as a sister. Do you understand?”

Christine rolls her eyes. She smiles as if she suddenly thinks of something, “I know who you are talking about.”

Zhang Hai is startled, “Who?”

“Jing Shu. Am I right?”

He underestimates Christine. She is so smart. Zhang Hai nods embarrassedly, “Well, yeah… Ahem, what if it’s her?”
