Heyday Love: A Heaven-sent Husband

Xia Ning glances at the number. It is Li Baoer.

Xia Ning hesitates for a second, wondering how she can talk with Li Baoer.

Xia Ning presses the answer button. Not waiting for Xia Ning to speak, Li Baoer shouts, “Ah, my lady, you finally turn on your phone. You come back at last! You are willing to answer my phone now!”

Xia Ning smiles, “Miss Li, mind your tone. You are creating misunderstandings!”

“Let there be fucking misunderstandings. Anyway, I am concerned about you. I care about you. Except for your perfect husband whom I can’t be comparable to, I don’t think there is another person more worried about you than I am!”

“Hahaha!” At this moment, Xia Ning finally can’t help laughing, “I know. Sorry to make you worried these days.”

Actually, she turned on her phone last evening. Once it is on, there came continuous messages from the secretary station. Eighty percent of the hundreds of calls were from Li Baoer. She was so moved at the time.

“Why do you say sorry? As long as you come back, it is great. Listen to me. Ning, you have come back now. Don’t ever leave again! You don’t know. Commander Yi was crazily looking for you. He almost turned the whole C City over. Ah…Thank goodness. You finally come back. Don’t ever play the missing game again! One more time, I will break with you.”

“Hum. Not again. I am really sorry to make you worried.” Saying this, Xia Ning remembers something, “Well, during the time I was away, how did Director Gu make the arrangement?”

“Oh. Director Gu is really a kind man. He takes charge of everything in your department. I know Director Gu has been waiting for you to come back. Where can you find such a good supervisor? Ning, come back to the company. I miss you.”

Xia Ning gives a sigh in her heart, “OK. I will take some days to calm myself down and call Director Gu.”

“Why? Don’t you feel well?” Li Baoer is anxious.

“No. I thought about many things these days. Now, I am back. I have to collect myself. If I go back to work, I should not bring these personal emotions with me at work. That will fail Director Gu’s approval on me.”

Li Baoer is silent for a while, “Hum. You are right. Ning, to be honest, you have a husband who supports and loves you. You don’t have to worry about living stuff like food and clothes. However, we live in this world. We have to do something to make a meaningful life. I don’t want you to become a desperate housewife.”

“Hum. I see. Well, I met Colonel Dai some days ago…”

“Really?” Not waiting for Xia Ning to finish her words, Li Baoer raises her voice by eight degrees, “Where was he? What did he talk with you?”

Xia Ning thinks for a while, “Baoer, Colonel Dai is fine. He is on a mission. So, it is inconvenient for him to contact you too frequently. When he finishes his mission, he will explain it to you. He said that he would come back in a month.”

“There is still one month to go.” Li Baoer sounds depressed. However, she turns happy again soon, “It scared me. I was worried that something might happen to him. Well, he is on a mission! Hehe. It is fine. I will wait for him to come back. It is fine as long as he will come back.”

Xia Ning is worried about something in her heart. After all, there is a problem lying between Li Baoer and Dai Zhongheng. They will need to negotiate about how to deal with that. That is Zhenzhen.

“It is work hour now. I can’t talk more with you. We may continue after you get off work.”

“That’s right. Then, I may hang up. Ning, listen to me. Be kind to your husband. You didn’t see how brokenhearted he was. Even I couldn’t bear to see him so sad. I really don’t know how you can bear it. Well. It is between you and your husband. I am not going to comment further. Bye!”

Li Baoer hangs up.

Xia Ning is shocked, thinking about what Li Baoer said before she hung up.

After she leaves, was Yi Yunrui brokenhearted?

Thinking of this, Xia Ning glances at Yi Yunrui. She sees his intense eyes and feels her heart suddenly jumps.

“Is that Li Baoer?” Yi Yunrui asks.

Xia Ning nods, “Yes. She is at work. So, we can’t talk too much.”

“Oh. During the time you were away, Li Baoer was very worried. You should give her a good treat when you have time.”

Xia Ning smiles, “That’s sure. But…” Xia Ning turns worried, “I am worried about the Zhenzhen problem.”

“Sweetheart, what are you going to do?”

Xia Ning thinks for a while, “We can’t take it hurry. We have to do it slowly. Li Baoer is rash and hasty. We have to find some way to make her feel better. When she feels happy, it won’t be a problem.”

“Sweetheart, you are right. Zhongheng is my good friend. Baoer is yours. It is about them. We have to figure out a good way.”

“Hum.” Xia Ning nods.

At the time, Yi Yunrui’s phone rings. He glances at the number and lifts his eyebrows. He presses the answer button, “Boy, what are you calling me for?”

Yi Yunrui has just finished his words, the honest laughter is heard, “Brother Yi, I miss you…”

“That is nonsense.” Yi Yunrui speaks in a serious voice, “Go to the point.”

At the other end of the phone, Luo Zhen strokes his head, “Brother, I am in C City now. I just saw your car coming out of the police office. Brother, anything happened?”

Yi Yunrui blinks his eyes, “What do you think can happen to me? Anyway, why do you come to C City?”

“Hehehe.” Luo Zhen laughs honestly again, “I come to catch the criminals. They escape to C City from W City. I am thinking of closing the case here.”

Hearing this, Yi Yunrui frowns, “Catch the criminals? Does Commander Nie tell you to do that? You are much more than that. Did you do anything wrong?”

Yi Yunrui hits the point. Luo Zhen is embarrassed, “No. I was just not good at minding my words. I mentioned something between the old Nie and his beautiful female soldiers. And here I am. Hehehe!”

Yi Yunrui feels a little helpless, “Boy, when can you learn to be smarter? You know what kind of person Commander Nie is. If you don’t know how to say, just shut up. How long will you stay in C City?”

“I have figured out the whereabout of the gang. I will collect the net when I get the chance. It may be several days. Brother Yi, it is rare for me to come to C City. Will you take me to see the city?”

“See the shit!” Yi Yunrui is going to snap at Luo Zhen, when he suddenly changes his mind. He asks gently, “Do you have time at noon? We may have lunch together.”

“Lunch? I’d love to. I haven’t had any good food for a long time. You have to give me a real treat this time!”

Yi Yunrui smiles helplessly, “Fine. Where are you? I will go to pick you up.”

After having a little conversation with Luo Zhen, Yi Yunrui hangs up.

Not waiting for Xia Ning to speak, Yi Yunrui says frankly, “It is Luo Zhen. He offended Commander Nie and is making up for it. He is in C City now. We will have lunch with him later. Sweetheart, do you agree?”

“Colonel Luo is here. I have no objection.” In Xia Ning’s opinion, Luo Zhen is ingenuously cute. It is interesting to have him around. She asks, “Well. Where are we going to have lunch?”

Yi Yunrui holds Xia Ning’s hand and says mysteriously, “Yijunxuan!”

At Yijunxuan.

“Wow, Brother, Mrs. Yi, it is a lovely place. It is as beautiful as something in the painting! Hehe, I can also pretend to be a literary man today.”

When they have just entered Yijunxuan, Luo Zhen cries, in a voice so loud that many people in the restaurant turn to look at them.

Yi Yunrui pats heavily Luo Zhen on his shoulder, “Boy, then you may show me that.”

Luo Zhen is shocked. He sees Xia Ning cover her mouth and giggle. Guests around are all lowering their heads in conversation. He understands what Yi Yunrui means at once. So, he checks over his army uniform and clears his throat, “Bother, I see. I have to mind my behavior when with you. Don’t worry. I won’t embarrass you.”

The waiter leads Yi Yunrui and his companions to the booth at the top floor. He says politely, “Distinguished guests, please wait here for a moment. Our boss is coming soon.”

“Oh. Never mind. We just come for a casual lun…” Xia Ning hasn’t finished her words, when she feels her hand get held tightly by Yi Yunrui. She looks at Yi Yunrui and gets the hint, “Ugh. Well. We will wait here.”

The waiter leaves. Once the door is closed, Luo Zhen cries in his loud voice, “Brother, it is a wonderful place. The tea is also good! To be honest, I feel it worth anything to come to such a place.”

Yi Yunrui mildly smiles. He turns to Xia Ning, “Sweetheart, you don’t know. This man is a food aficionado. However, he has no requirements in food, as long as it can make him full.”

“Brother Yi is right!” Luo Zhen continues Yi Yunrui’s words, “Mrs. Yi, I was poor when I was a kid. I have brothers and sisters. Eating was just like fighting. Those who ate slowly didn’t have enough food to eat. I could eat a lot at that time and seldom got full. So, I had to figure out how to get myself fed. I had a lot of strength at that time. So, I went to work for people in my village and earn food. As long as I could get enough food, I didn’t mind doing any hard and dirty jobs!”

Hearing this, Xia Ning is a little sad. Comparing with Luo Zhen, she really had a happy childhood.

Luo Zhen is ingenuous, honestly ingenuous.

“Colonel Luo, this restaurant is owned by Rui’s friend. The foods here are delicious. It provides family dishes of all districts of the nation. Whatever Colonel may want to have, you may tell the lady boss.”

Luo Zhen widens his eyes, “This restaurant is owned by a woman? That is awesome! Brilliant!”

They are talking when someone knocks at the door. A sweet voice is heard, “My distinguished guests, Pingping is here!”

The door is opened. Zhou Wenping wears a blue embroidered cheongsam. Her beautiful body shape is obvious under the shiny material of cheongsam. With the black curly wavy hairs and the beautiful face, she is an international grade beauty.

Zhou Wenping looks around them and puts on a bigger smile, “Commander Yi, Mrs. Yi, welcome. Thank you for come again. Oh. Who is this handsome commander? How do you do? My surname is Zhou. They all call me Pingping.”
