Heyday Love: A Heaven-sent Husband

Chapter 574 She Will Not Forgive Herself

Jing Shu can tell that Sister Xia does not want to see this woman called Xiaoran.

Sister Xia is a kind person. If Sister Xia does not welcome someone, there must be some problems,

But Xiaoran looks weak. What has she done that makes herself unwelcomed to Sister Xia?

“Okay. Tell the guest that I’ll be right there.” Xia Ning answers and makes eye contact with Jing Shu.

Jing Shu stands behind, ready to ask Xiaoran to leave at any time.

“Xiaoran, I’m so sorry. I have a guest waiting. Would you mind if I get back to you later?” There is no way to talk later. It is just an excuse to get rid of her.

“Miss Xia, please give me some time. I only ask you for meeting Yixuan once. Only once. You just need to tell him that you let go of what happened. He will be happy. And I will never come to you again.” Xiaoran pleads and is about to kneel to beg Xia Ning.

Xia Ning sighs. It seems that Xiaoran will not leave here unless she nods to her request.

It is too much to ask the security to get rid of a girl.

Contemplating for a while, Xia Ning says, “I don’t know if I have the time. Please give me more time to consider, and I’ll let you know.”

Xiaoran frowns, “Miss Xia, it’ll be great if you can meet Yixuan as soon as possible. What about today? Today after your work. I’ll ask him to wait for you...”

“Miss Xiaoran!” This time, Xia Ning cannot bear with her anymore with anger in her heart, “If you insist, I’ll have to get the security to ask you leave! ”

Seeing Xia Ning irritated, Jing Shu walks forward and says, “Miss Xiaoran, Chief Editor Xia is quite busy at the moment. The guest is waiting. Would you mind leaving for the moment?”

“You... Are you trying to get rid of me?” Xiaoran stands up and steps back, saying, “No, I’ll not leave here! Miss Xia, Yixuan is really sad. I can’t let him be in pain any longer. If you can’t grant my request, I’ll... I’ll...”

Xiaoran’s voice is trembling at the end of her words. Seeing the situation growing out of control, Jing Shu says in a soft tone hurriedly, “Miss Xiaoran, Chief Editor Xia did not say that. Please calm down.”

“No!” Xiaoran says. She takes out a knife from her cloth and points it towards herself, “Miss Xia, I’m sorry, but I don’t know what else I can do. If you can’t meet Yixuan, he will be painful, and I cannot find any meaning of living.”

Xiaoran’s action is unexpected. Jing Shu feels regretful. She would never let this woman in if she knew this would happen.

Xiaoran seems to be weak but unexpectedly she possesses such an outrageous personality!

She is threatening Xia Ning with her own life.

The knife’s edge reminds Xia Ning of the similar thing she did before. People can do anything for their loved ones.

Xiaoran’s feeling towards Ou Yixuan seems to be real.

Xia Ning sighs and says resignedly, “Only once is enough?”

“Really?” Xiaoran’s eyes light up, “Miss Xia, does it mean that you agree... Augh!”

Before Xiaoran finishes her words, Jing Shu steps up and grabs her hand that holds the knife tightly in a blink of an eye. Xiaoran exclaims in pain and drops the knife.

Jing Shu then forces Xiaoran to the desk, making Xiaoran cry again in pain.

“Shu!” Xia Ning did not expect Jing Shu would use force. She exclaims, “Let her go!”

Jing Shu shakes her head, “Sister Xia, I know what kind of person she is! She is trying to take advantage of you with her weak appearance! I’m teaching her the lesson so that she will not think of you as vulnerable!”

“No... I’m not. I’m not that kind of person. That’s not my intention... It hurts... Let go of me!”

Jing Shu is a judo expert and is best at close combat. Xiaoran feels as if Mount Taishan is on her body when forced to the desk. She has no chance to fight back.

“Shu, stop. Are you going to attack her? Let her go.” Xia Ning is worried, hearing Xiaoran’s painful cry. She knows well what Jing Shu is capable of. They should not cross the line.

Jing Shu purses her lips tightly and stares at Xiaoran angrily, “I tell you I can let you go. But you must leave here now. I’ll not be kind again if you fail to do so.”

“Even if you are asking me to leave, you should never attack me. It hurts. Please, let go of me. I’m begging you.” Xiaoran’s face is pale in pain. Her tears are about to roll down.

“Hmph!” Jing Shu sniffs and takes back her hand, “I tell you not to say anything. Or you’ll know the consequences.”

“...” Xiaoran is shocked, “How can you be so arrogant when you are the one who attacked me?”

Jing Shu sticks out her eyes, “How can you be so arrogant when I just let you go?”

“Alright!” Before the two get into another quarrel, Xia Ning says, “Xiaoran, I promise you that I’ll meet Ou Yixuan. But you also need to promise me that you will say nothing about what happened today. Or I’ll never meet Ou Yixuan.”

Xiaoran purses her lips and massages her shoulder. She contemplates a while before saying, “Poor Yixuan, why did he fall in love with...”

Before finishing her words, she looks at Jing Shu in fear, “A person who looks gentle can also attack others. You can never judge a book by its cover, indeed.”

“You...”

“Shu!” Xia Ning shouts, “Send Xiaoran off. Don’t fight or quarrel. You know the consequences.”

Jing Shu pouts and answers reluctantly, “Sister Xia, I know.”

Sister Xia is kind and nice. The woman is taking advantage of her and even scolding her... Anyway, she has decided to follow Sister Xia. She will do whatever Sister Xia asks her to do.

“Miss Xiaoran, this way, please.”

Xiaoran takes a look at Xia Ning. Her lips move as if she is trying to say something. But she does not and leaves.

After both women have left her office, Xia Ning sighs with relief. She sits down and takes a sip of the milk Jing Shu brought in.

It is still warm. It is the right time to finish it. The little girl does not have to heat another pot then.

Shu has been irritable these days. She seems distracted from her work, and her work efficiency is significantly reduced. Now she even attacks people in front of her.

Xia Ning touches her forehead. When Shu is back, they need to talk.

Leng Weiwei is on her leave. An Lingxi has a car accident. And Christine is in hospital. Now it is Shu’s turn. These days are full of accidents.

She has been unlucky these days. Though it takes its toll on other people, she still hopes people around her are safe and sound.

If her father, mother, and grandmother were still here, they could enjoy happiness with her.

But now, even if she wants to repay them for their love, they have long gone.

What happened on the street suddenly comes to her, making Xia Ning’s hand that holds the cup shake.

That person really looks like her father.

Meanwhile, the office telephone rings. Xia Ning picks up, “Hello...”

“Sister Xia! Help! Xiaoran passes out, and she is bleeding heavily!”

Jing Shu is panicking on the other end. Xia Ning is worried, “What? Call the ambulance!”

A major hospital.

“Sister Xia, I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean it. Sister Xia, please scold me or hit me. You can ask me to do anything. Just say something.”

Xia Ning has stood beside the hospital bed for an hour, staring at Xiaoran, who is still in a coma. Xia Ning says nothing, no matter what Jing Shu says.

Xia Ning looks sad.

“Sister Xia, I would have never laid my hands on her if I had known she was pregnant. Sister Xia, it’s all my fault. You can call the police and let them take me away. Don’t be like this.”

After the accident, Xiaoran was sent to the hospital immediately. She is safe now, but not for her two-month-old fetus.

The news is like thunder leaving Xia Ning in shock.

Two-month-old... It was of similar age as hers.

Xiaoran’s baby should be Ou Yixuan’s. If she were having Ou Yixuan’s baby, no wonder Xiaoran would beg her with life to meet Ou Yixuan.

If someone needs to be blamed, it should be her.

If she had agreed to Xiaoran’s request and met Ou Yixuan, even if she said nothing at the meeting, the result would have been better than now.

A two-month-old life perishes.

If Xiaoran wakes up to this news, it can be imagined how desperate she will be!

Xiaoran loves Ou Yixuan so much that she must value this baby more than her life. Xia Ning closes her eyes and feels her heart bleeding. She cannot imagine Xiaoran’s reaction to this news.

If it happened to her, she would...

“Shu, cut it out. It’s not your fault. It’s all my fault. If I could agree to her request earlier, the baby would be fine.”

Xia Ning’s voice cracks at the end of her words. She closes her eyes, and tears stream down.

“No! You are not to be blamed.” Jing Shu holds Xia Ning’s hand, “I’m the one who hit her. It’s my fault. I will tell her straight that I took her baby away.”

“Jing Shu!” Xia Ning turns around and says word by word, “You must not let others know what happened in the office. I’m the one who is responsible for everything. You have your mom to look after and cannot bear this burden.”

Jing Shu is shocked and then shakes her head madly, “No worries. I’ll figure out how to take care of my mom. Sister Xia, you are pregnant. You cannot suffer this.”

“I won’t.” Xia Ning murmurs, “Xiaoran is still asleep, and everything is uncertain yet. Even if I take the responsibility, I will be fine.”

It is because of someone who will protect her. She knows that he will do everything he can to protect her.

Plus, that is an innocent life whose disappearance is all her fault.

She cannot escape, and she does not want to.

Otherwise, she will not forgive herself for the rest of her life.
