Heyday Love: A Heaven-sent Husband

Chapter 267 What Do You Want, Career or Family?

“OK!” Luo Zhen responds with no hesitation.

Yi Yunrui turns to Zhou Wenping, “Be safe.”

He is talking to Luo Zhen, and also to Zhou Wenping.

Then, Yi Yunrui says nothing more. He turns to leave.

He tells what he means and it is done. Ning is at home. He has to go back at once.

Zhou Wenping looks at Yi Yunrui’s back. In an instant, she feels like having a home, too.

The idea flashes in her brain.

She turns to look at Luo Zhen. Luo Zhen is worried about her. The wound in his arm is bandaged. There is still a little blood coming out. She looks at it and feels her heart aching.

He is wounded, but he is always worried about her.

Zhou Wenping wonders whether she herself is too overbearing and unsentimental.

She softens her heart, “Let’s make an agreement.”

Luo slightly brightens his eyes, “Agreement? Pingping, you know, I don’t have much money...”

Zhou Wenping is stunned. She rolls her eyes at Luo Zhen. The man is so stupid that she doesn’t want to make the agreement any longer.

The words are swallowed back. Zhou Wenping angrily sits down, “Then, we don’t make the agreement. You have a good rest to recover. I am leaving soon.”

Luo Zhen finds that Zhou Wenping is going to leave. He is anxious, “No. OK. I agree. What kind of agreement? Tell me. I will figure out the money issue. You know, I am a straight man. I don’t know to turn. Don’t be angry.”

Zhou Wenping signs. Instinctively, she thinks that they need another period of time to decide their relation. She doesn’t want to hurt him or herself.

Thanking of this, Zhou Wenping shakes her head, “It is fine. I was just kidding. You may have a rest. Well, do you have any family in C City?”

“No. I am alone.”

Zhou Wenping feels sad, “OK. I will go home for a bath and come back here again. OK?”

Luo Zhen blinks his eyes. Naturally, he pictures the scene of a beautiful woman taking a bath in his brain...

He feels some heat inside his nose. It cracks in his brain. He consciously presses his nose. He nods, “OK. You go for the bath. Then...all right, you may have a rest at home. You may come later.”

Zhou Wenping mildly smiles. Seemingly, the man is turned on. Oh. She has just said some words. That is cute.

“Then, you may wait for me patiently.” Zhou Wenping winks at him. The man straightens up his body at once!

She is... she is...

It takes quite a while for Luo Zhen to realize that Pingping was flirting with him just now!

Xia Ning wakes up. It is already at noon the next day. Yi Yunrui is sitting by her.

“Rui...” She gently calls. Why is Yi Yunrui here? Doesn’t he go to the military department?

Yi Yunrui puts down the book in his hand and leans to her, “Do you feel dizzy? Are you hungry?”

Xia Ning shakes her head, “I sleep well. I feel better now.”

“I will warm the porridge for you. Wait for a minute.”

Yi Yunrui turns to walk out and soon he returns with a basin of hot water. He wipes Xia Ning’s face with a warm towel.

“Don’t you go back to the military department?”

“There is nothing serious in the military region. I can stay at home with you.”

Yi Yunrui finishes wiping Xia Ning’s face. He takes the water away. After a while, he carries a bowl of hot porridge and some side dishes to come.

Xia Ning looks at the side dishes on the plate. Yi Yunrui knows that she has a bad appetite. These dishes are sour and sweet. It wakes up her appetite. With the dishes, Xia Ning eats two bowls of porridge. She gets some strength back to her body.

As if her body runs out of energy, Xia Ning unconsciously falls asleep again after she finishes the porridge. Yi Yunrui sits by her. He holds her hand and looks at her quietly.

He just looks at her in this way, as if even a lifetime is not enough for that.

In the evening, Xia Ning wakes up again. She feels surprised that she is woken up by hunger!

God. She ate food at noon. She gets hungry so soon.

Hearing the cry of her stomach, Yi Yunrui gives a sigh of relief. He smiles, “It is good to feel hungry. You feel hungry because your body is recovering.”

There are still side dishes. But porridge is changed to be rice.

Xia Ning eats until she is full. She doesn’t want to sleep. She sits in the living room to watch TV. Yi Yunrui peels an apple for her.

At the time, the phone at their house rings. Yi Yunrui picks up the handset. After a while, he asks Xia Ning, “Ning, your colleague Miss Wan is downstairs. Do you want to see her?”

Xia Ning feels surprised, wondering why Wan Liqing comes to see her.

It doesn’t seem to be something good.

“Hum. You can ask her to come in.”

A few minutes later, Wan Liqing arrives at Xia Ning’s house with a basket of fruits.

Looking at the clean and tidy house, Wan Liqing feels something in her heart tremble!

Xia Ning doesn’t feel well. Seemingly, it is Yi Yunrui who cleans the house.

She glances at Yi Yunrui, who is sitting not far away. Wan Liqing slightly darkens her eyes.

The man is handsome. He looks gentle and quiet. It is hard to imagine that he takes up the broom to clean the house.

But it is the truth.

Such an excellent man is willing to do housework for Xia Ning...That is a little unbelievable.

Shit. With such a good man by her, Xia Ning still goes to seduce Gu Luan. She is really hateful!

Thinking about this, Wan Liqing’s eyes gleam viciously.

“Director Xia.” Wan Liqing slightly lifts her lips to smile, “Do you feel better?”

“Thank you. I feel much better.” Xia Ning looks at Wan Liqing’s smile. She feels quite uncomfortable.

Wan Liqing loves Gu Luan very much. Because of Gu Luan, Wan Liqing and she don’t get along very well. She knows that Wan Liqing blames her for everything. Xia Ning feels helpless. Anyway, no matter how she explains to Wan Liqing, Wan Liqing is not going to understand. She may rather save the strength of talking.

“Oh. That is good.” Wan Liqing still smiles. She turns to Yi Yunrui, “Commander Yi, Director Xia works very hard in the company. You may persuade her to have more rest. It is bad for health.”

Wan Liqing seems to say something good, while actually, she is hinting at something else. Yi Yunrui doesn’t give any responses. He cuts the apple and puts it on the plate silently.

Looking at Yi Yunrui’s reactions, Wan Liqing slightly changes her color. What does Yi Yunrui mean by his attitude?

He should at least say something!

“Director Wan, have some fruit.” Xia Ning interrupts. She passes a piece of apple to Wan Liqing.

Wan Liqing takes it over and gives a forceful bite of it. Her eyes gleam wickedly, “Director Xia, I really admire you in the meeting the day before yesterday. It is not surprising that Luan attaches great importance to you. I understand now.”

After she says that, Wan Liqing glances stealthily at Yi Yunrui. But she is disappointed. Yi Yunrui is still calm as before. No emotion changesare seen.

“Oh?” Xia Ning responds, “Director Wan, I don’t think so. Those who work at World Era Weekly are all elites out of elites. Director attaches importance to everyone.”

“Does he?” Wan Liqing mildly smiles, “I have been working in the World Era Weekly for over five years and I have attended many meetings there. I also experienced several excellent employee elections. However, the election of this year was for you. Luan broke the rules for you. There was no contest party. The decision was made in a meeting. I was wondering why he did so. It turned out to be that he was waiting for you to make your move. Director Xia, what you did on the day really widened my vision.

“Director Wan, you are flattering me. I don’t have other choices.” Xia Ning suddenly changes the topic, “Director Wan, did Director Gu mention to you about the transferring?”

When the transferring issue is mentioned, Wan Liqing feels furious in her heart. But she still keeps her smile on the face, “Hum. He talked to me yesterday. It is in progress. Li Baoer is having probation in your department today. Ah, you sisters work in the same department. That is great. To be honest, this has never happened in the World Era Weekly before. However, I understand. In Luan’s opinion, Director Xia is a heavenly talent. Transferring stuff is nothing worth mentioning.”

Xia Ning freezes her face. In an instant, she figures out why Wan Liqing comes to see her.

Wan Liqing is speaking to Yi Yunrui!

“It is all arranged by the company. If Director Wan disagrees, I am fine with it...”

“No, no, no. You misunderstand me.” Wan Liqing waves her hand at once, “Director Xia, don’t take it wrong. Li Baoer will go to your department sooner or later. It is not surprising. Don’t worry. It won’t influence my department.”

“Then, thank you, Director Wan.”

Wan Liqing bites a mouthful of the apple. She thinks for a while, “How are you now?”

“The doctor said I would be fine in a few days.”

Wan Liqing turns serious. She shakes her head, “It is not good. In the previous six months, you have asked for leave several times, all because of health issues. You are over thirty and haven’t had babies. With such a poor health condition, what will happen when you have babies in the future?”

Hearing this, Yi Yunrui’s hand pauses. He was peeling apples.

Xia Ning frowns. She doesn’t like what Wan Liqing says!

Didn’t she just go to the hospital because she was too tired? How can it have anything to do with babies?

“Director Wan, thank you for your concern. I will take care of myself. Anyway, I believe Rui and I will have very healthy babies. I surely won’t bring any influences to them.”

“It is fine to say. However, ...” Wan Liqing glances around, “Director Xia, you are over thirty. Why haven’t you planned for the babies? There may be problems for women over thirty to have babies. For the benefit of the next generation, Director Xia, you have to think it over.”

Wan Liqing keeps hitting on the sides. Xia Ning gets a little impatient, “Director Wan, what do you want to say?”

“Nothing.” Wan Liqing blinks her eyes. She leans to Xia Ning, “I had some experience. So, I want to tell you that women may want to have their careers, but the happiest thing is to construct a family. Aren’t women born to take care of men and give them a home? Director Xia, do you agree?”
