Heyday Love: A Heaven-sent Husband

Chapter 421 To Fully Take That Over

Yi Yunrui sounds serious. Xia Ning feels nervous, “Darling, does anything happen to you?”

“I am fine. Don’t worry.” Yi Yunrui hesitates for a while, “Ning, there is still some time before I can go back. During the period, no matter what happens, I will take care of that. You have to keep patient. Wait for me to go back. You have my words. This time, after I go back, I won’t leave you again. Do you hear me?”

Xia Ning feels a warm flow in her heart. She tightly holds the phone. What Yi Yunrui says is a promise as well as a warning.

Rui…There must be some things happening there. However, Rui doesn’t tell her because he doesn’t want to make her worried.

She knows it. She understands.

Her lips slightly tremble. After quite a while, Xia Ning gently responds, “Darling, you must also promise me that you have to be safe. I will be here waiting for you to come back.”

Yi Yunrui softens his eyes, “I promise. After we hang up, I may not be able to call you for some time. Remember to think of me every day. Don’t be too lazy to do it.”

Xia Ning gently smiles and then forcefully nods, “Hum! I won’t forget it! Darling, you must think of me, too…”

“You silly.” Yi Yunrui gently responds, “Don’t you know the heart of your husband?”

At the time, it seems that something happens at Yi Yunrui’s end. Xia Ning is just going to ask about it when Yi Yunrui says, “Sweetheart, I have to deal with some things. I may hang up now. Sorry.”

Xia Ning has not responded while Yi Yunrui has hung up.

Xia Ning looks at the quiet screen. She feels her heart tightened…

Darling, you must take good care of yourself. Be safe.

Suddenly, Xia Ning hears some sound from her stomach. She feels surprised.

She has just finished supper not long ago. Why does she feel hungry again?

It is not the symptom of low blood sugar. What on earth is wrong with her?

Once it starts, her stomach keeps “complaining”. Xia Ning feels helpless. She can’t but go to the kitchen and make a bowl of noodles for herself.

Xia Ning glances at the clock on the wall. It is one in the midnight. She is eating noodles…That is weird.

After she finishes the noodles, she feels better. She takes a bath and goes to bed to have a sound sleep.

The next morning, Xia Ning is woken up by an urgent call. It is Li Baoer.

“Ning, read the newspaper. You are in the news again!”

Xia Ning can’t believe what she hears. She gets up at once and goes to the door to take the paper.

Title: Shocking! The Boss and the Employees of World Era Weekly Fight in the Bar! Great Damage Is Caused.

Subtitle: Two Women Fight for One Man, Unsuccessful Negotiation Ends Up in Force!

Xia Ning quickly browses the content. She widens her eyes and unconsciously opens her mouth!

It just happened last evening. How can it be reported in the newspaper after one night?

How could the information spread so fast?

Wait. Who disclosed the information? Wan Liqing? Jiang Yongran? Or… Gu Luan?

Normally speaking, Wan Liqing is most suspicious. Gu Luan and Jiang Yongran wouldn’t sell the information about the event. It is even more unlikely to be Gu Ruoruo and Yi Yunyi.

Xia Ning dials Gu Luan’s number at once, “Director… Luan, have you read the news in today’s paper?”

“Hum. Yes. What happened last evening is reported.”

“… Luan, what’s wrong? Who spread the news?”

Gu Luan takes a breath. He strokes his forehead, “As people in the newspaper said, someone sent them a piece of video last evening. It was about what happened last evening. There were so many people in the bar. We are investigating the case now. It is a little tough.”

Xia Ning frowns, “Luan, you may think I am paranoid. Can it be Wan Liqing?”

Gu Luan thinks for a while. He responds, “I just hung up the phone. She was very excited when she called me. She thought it is your trick. In my opinion, it can’t be her.”

Hearing this, Xia Ning feels confused. If Wan Liqing is ruled out, it can’t be any one of those who got involved in the event last evening.

It means that the information was disclosed by someone else.

Xia Ning looks at the photo in the headline, on which several people are fighting together. She feels her head ache. There are always some things beyond her expectation.

Since it is not the first time for her to be in the headline, Xia Ning gets to feel indifferent to that. She says, “Well. Let me know if there is any outcome to be found. Luan, if it is unnecessary, you may drink less wine.”

“OK.”

Gu Luan hangs up the phone. He rolls his pupils. Then, he dials a number at once. When it gets through, before the answerer says anything, Gu Luan asks, “Is it you who creates the headline in the newspaper?”

“Director Gu, don’t you think you underestimate me?” The speaker laughs dismissively, “What’s the benefit and meaning for me to do such things?”

Gu Luan hesitates. He thinks for a while and doesn’t think it is possible. He says, “Maybe I am wrong. Anyway, you have to keep it in your mind that you may do anything but not hurt Xia Ning. Or, you are totally on your own for the consequences!”

“Ha. Ha. Ha!” The speaker laughs, “Seemingly, Director Gu, you are really a sentimental lover. Don’t worry. I won’t do anything to Xia Ning. Anyway, the report in today’s paper is really interesting. Mr. Gu is popular with women!” Xia Ning is under the protection of Yi Yunrui. He won’t bother himself with the trouble!

Gu Luan darkens his eyes, “You may mind your own business!”

Then, Gu Luan hangs up.

In the afternoon, Xia Ning and Jiang Yongran are both told to meet Zhou Mengyao.

An Zihao is also there.

Zhou Mengyao throws the paper on the desk. She asks, “Yongran, what’s this?”

Jiang Yongran glances at the headline. He smiles, “Nothing. Last evening, Assistant Xia and I were in the bar and something happened. Someone shot a piece of video and it was reported.”

Zhou Mengyao darkens her eyes. She points at the woman in the photo, “Who is she?”

Jiang Yongran shrugs his shoulder, “A new girlfriend. I only wanted to have fun with her. I didn’t expect that it would end up like this.”

Zhou Mengyao looks at Jiang Yongran. After quite a while, she says, “Yongran, I know you like young women. As long as it doesn’t endanger the benefit or the image of the company, it is fine for you to have fun and play with them. The problem is that you are in the headline now. Your face is clearly shown in the photo. I have to remind you to be careful!”

Jiang Yongran lifts his eyebrows. He nods, “President Zhou, you are right. I will be careful about that.”

Zhou Mengyao takes a sip of the coffee. She puts down the cup. Then, she turns to Xia Ning, “Ning, I know you are kind-hearted. But it is necessary for you to protect yourself from others’ bad doing. You need to be more careful, too. Don’t get into other people’s traps.”

Hearing the word Trap, Jiang Yongran’s eyes gleam with wickedness.

Xia Ning purses her lips, “Hum. President Zhou, I see. I will be more careful in the future.”

“Zihao.” Zhou Mengyao turns to An Zihao, “As to the report in the newspaper, what is your opinion?”

An Zihao glances at Xia Ning and Jiang Yongran. He slowly responds, “We should take some necessary measures. We have to be cautious to grab the right point to stop damage.”

Hearing this, Jiang Yongran changes his face, “Supervisor An, isn’t it just a report in the newspaper? What’s the surprise? For people like us, who have never been reported? You are overreacting!”

“I think what Zihao said is right.” Zhou Mengyao says, “Yongran, you haven’t had any vacations for a long time, have you? I may give you a half-month holiday. You may take the chance to have fun with your girlfriends. The company will cover 80% of the relative expenses.”

Jiang Yongran feels shocked. Zhou Mengyao is not discussing with him at all. Apparently, it is a holiday, but actually…

“President Zhou, I have got a lot of cases in my hand. I can’t go for a holiday. If I take a half-month vacation, the cases I am following…”

“Everything you are doing will be handed over to Ning to deal with. You may relax to have your holiday.” Zhou Mengyao interrupts with no hesitations.

Jiang Yongran is shocked blankly. He looks at Xia Ning in disbelief.

Everything he is doing will be handed over to Xia Ning to deal with?

It doesn’t seem right. Wait!

Can Xia Ning be the creator of the news in the newspaper? The purpose of it is to suspend him from his duty?

Xia Ning and Gu Luan are a team. It is just a piece of cake for them to make a report. If that is true, he has really fallen into their trap!

Thinking about this, Jiang Yongran screws his eyes. Unconsciously, he clenches his fists.

He underestimated Xia Ning. The woman seems to be kind, while actually, she is a soft knife, which kills with every cut.

Zhou Mengyao finds that Jiang Yongran doesn’t respond. She takes it as a yes. She turns to Xia Ning, “Ning, you may go to do the handover with General Manager Jiang. If there are any problems, you may ask Zihao for help.”

Xia Ning glances at Jiang Yongran. She glimpses the reluctance on his face. She can imagine that Jiang Yongran must hate her.

“President Zhou, I haven’t been in Junhao Group for a long time, it may be difficult for me to fully take over General Manager Jiang’s cases. And I am a newcomer here. Other people may have some disagreements…”

“It is easy.” Zhou Mengyao glances at An Zihao, “Zihao, during the period of General Manager Jiang’s vacation, you may fully support Ning. If there are any problems that you two can’t deal with, let me know. Is it OK?”

An Zihao slightly lifts his lips and puts on a seeming smile. He briefly responds, “OK.”

An Zihao agrees. Jiang Yongran can’t but accept the arrangement. He closes his eyes. This time, he fails. He didn’t expect that he might be defeated by an inexperienced girl!

“Then, I may deal with the cases I am working at. I will hand them over to Assistant Xia later. Excuse me. I may go out for now.” Then, Jiang Yongran turns to walk out.

The door is forcefully closed by Jiang Yongran. Xia Ning slightly frowns, “President Zhou, General Manager Jiang did something wrong, but isn’t the punishment too hard on him?”

“Hard?” Zhou Mengyao glances seriously at Xia Ning, “Ning, as to the issues of the company’s business, I suggest you often ask Zihao for his advice. You can learn a lot from him. As for the decision about Yongran, you may just forget it. When I was abroad, he had done enough crazy things. It is time for him to learn the lesson.”
