Heyday Love: A Heaven-sent Husband

Chapter 75 - Chattering



Chapter 75 Chattering

They embrace each other tightly, surrounded by love and sweetness. Yi Yunrui kisses Xia Ning, “Actually, I guessed that you went to the sushi restaurant. I went there directly after coming back, and saw you go into the coffee shop with Ou Yixuan.”

Xia Ning’s heart is lifted. Gosh, he saw that. No doubt he would misunderstand.

“I followed you and saw you two sit by the window. I looked at your expression and your eyes. You were angry. You were sad. You wanted to beat Ou Yixuan.” Yi Yunrui smiles here, “I made guesses, wondering whether you would do it.”

Xia Ning is shocked. It seems that Yi Yunrui knows how to read people’s mind. He can understand what she thinks by looking at her expressions. However, she admits that Yi Yunrui is more excellent than her in many aspects. Compared with such a man, how can she win?

“Honestly, I really hoped that you would take the action. But then I found that you look uneasy, as if you were worried about something and hesitated. I worried about you, so, I called Yin Jingsi, telling her where her husband was. I waited for a few minutes and noticed the development was not good. Then I went to you.” Yi Yunrui strokes Xia Ning’s hairs, “When I went in, I heard what Ou Yixuan said to you. I really wanted to mutilate him at that moment.”

Xia Ning’s heart is tightened. She has seen what Yi Yunrui can do. Ten Ou Yixuan together will not be equal to him…Seemingly Ou Yixuan really escaped from death.

He holds her hands and strokes on her body gently. The mildly itchy feeling makes Xia Ning comfortable.

“I tried to restrain myself and saw Yin Jingsi’s car appear. Then I sat by your side…” Yi Yunrui pauses here. He gives a sigh after quite a while, “As regards to the supper, I did not tell you clearly. It is my fault. I won’t do that again. Ning, you have my words. I will have supper at home as long as I can manage. If there is a dinner arrangement or meeting, I will make some time to call you myself. From now on, don’t believe others. Will you?”

Xia Ning nods and feels sweet. Now she is comfortable. She is relaxed and wants to ask about the relation between Mei Ruo and Yi Yunrui.

“Well, let’s exchange secrets. Will you?” Xia Ning asks.

“OK.” Without hesitation, Yi Yunrui agrees.

“Do you know what happened between Ou Yixuan and me in the past?”

Yi Yunrui’s eyes darken, “Yes, and no.”

Eight years ago, he sent someone to follow her. But there were always some things out of his control. About Ou Yixuan, he is jealous. He knows his dear wife wants to tell him all about her past with Ou Yixuan. Consciously, he wants to know, yet, he feels painful.

When in the past, she didn’t belong to him. What he could do was watching her secretly and wishing her happiness. Now, she is with him. He wants to occupy and love her. His feeling for her is not as generous as before.

He becomes mean.

“Do you want to know the secret?”

Yi Yunrui closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. He says slowly, “Yes.” When Xia Ning is just going to tell the story, Yi Yunrui adds, “Though I want to know, I am afraid that you will feel sad when you tell it. We don’t need an exchange of secrets. What do you want to know? I will tell you.”

Xia Ning is surprised. Grateful emotions surge down like water’s coming out of the embankment. Xia Ning’s eyes are red. She hugs Yi Yunrui tightly, “No. I want to tell you. I tell you all and I can really put it down. Rui, you may be jealous, but please give me a chance to make a confession. I don’t want to have any other factors between us.”

Yi Yunrui looks at her gently. He pats on her back, “OK. You can say now. I am listening.”

Xia Ning nods, “Soon after I went to study at the University of Edinburgh, I heard that my parents were dead. I hadn’t any friends with me and could talk with no one. I had to transfer my pain to other things. I stayed at the library all day long, not to read, just to find a place for me to stay. I stayed there a whole day every time…Then, I found that there was a boy always staying at the library when almost all the others left. I learned later that he was in the same grade with me, of the same major. That was Ou Yixuan. I learned from others that his family background was kind of like mine. Both of his parents were dead because of an accident. In an instant, I felt we were close to each other. So, after I investigated him for some time, I took the initiative to start conversations with him.

“At first, he didn’t pay any attention to me. I found that many beautiful girls tried to talk with him. So, I took a lot of efforts to attract his attention.” Saying this, Xia Ning hugs Yi Yunrui tightly, “Rui, please don’t be mad at me. I tell you all and I will never think about it any longer.”

“It is all right. You may continue. I am listening.” Yi Yunrui strokes her hairs.

“I tried hard for one month and at last he spoke to me. I was so happy. Then I inquired about what’s he like and what’s he dislike. I tried my best to please him. He got familiar with me step by step. But I always treat him gingerly, always. I was afraid that I might say something wrong to enrage him and he would not be with me any longer.” Xia Ning smiles here, “I remember what I was like and feel, I was really a fool at that time. During the five years in England, I always tried to please him carefully. But I was really happy since I had been with him. After we got back to the country, I went with him to TIME. Surprisingly, he changed. He was no longer as silent as before. He was diplomatic at work. By comparison, I was not as good as him. Soon, he was promoted.”

“He was promoted. In fact, I was also given some chances to be promoted. But I didn’t know why when it came to the last stage, the promotion always went to someone else. I thought that maybe I was not good enough. But I learnt some time before that it was he who always did things to take me down. I didn’t know why he would do that to me. Maybe he wanted to have a soft and gentle wife.” Xia Ning pauses, “Well, it is not right. Yin Jingsi is a capable woman and is excellent in many aspects. Err, honestly, it has been eight years, and now I still don’t understand him. It is really a failure.”

Yi Yunrui listens quietly and gently strokes her hairs.

Xia Ning takes a deep breath, “I remember that when we started to work, he said that he would give me a great wedding ceremony, a happy home. I trusted him all the years. Though sometimes I saw by myself something I didn’t like, I chose to ignore it.” Xia Ning’s tone tends to sob and tears fill her eyes, “There were several times when I went off work, I saw him pick up another woman. That woman is Yin Jingsi.”

“I always lied to myself. When a man was at work, some relations were necessary. He could not but forced himself to do it. Until his announcement of marriage, I still believed what I thought.” Tears run down to her cheeks. Xia Ning wants to wipe them, while the big hands have gently wiped them for her.

“Let’s stop here.” Yi Yunrui pats on her back and comforts her, “What happened later is known to me. Let’s stop here.”

Quietly leaning at Yi Yunrui’s chest, Xia Ning spends quite a while to calm down, “If Yin Jingsi was the one he loved most, I would give him my blessings. However, I really didn’t expect that he would do that to me. He admitted silently that I was the third person between Yin Jingsi and him.”

Yi Yunrui tightens his hands, “Let’s stop. OK? No matter what happens, I will be with you.”

Xia Ning gives a light sigh. She says slowly, “I feel much better now. I met Ou Yixuan today. I didn’t feel so painful and sad as before. It is just like what he said to me, all related to him has become history.”

“Yes. It is past. It is me staying with you now. Don’t think about the past man.”

“But…” Xia Ning looks up at him with tears in her eyes, “What Ou Yixuan said today is not rootless. I don’t know whether you got married to me for impulse. And about Mei Ruo, I am really…”

Yi Yunrui looks at her with his intense eyes for quite a while and he says slowly, “Mei Ruo is my eldest brother’s woman.”

Hearing this, Xia Ning is shocked blankly!

What? Mei Ruo is the woman of Yi Yuntian, Yi Yunrui’s eldest brother?

“Then…are they married?”

Yi Yunrui shakes his head, “When in England, Mei Ruo had been with my eldest brother. When they came back, Mei Ruo was transferred by the central government to B Military Department, to be my political commissar. One year later, in an accident, she took a shot for me and was sent abroad by my eldest brother for recovery.”

What Yi Yunrui says are simple words, but the story they tell is astonishing.

“She took a shot for you? What happened?” Xia Ning’s heart is tightened.

Yi Yunrui ponders for a while. He strokes her hairs, “Ning, it is past. Could you not ask about it?”

Xia Ning’s heart aches, as if it is stabbed by something. She is jealous. She is really jealous.

“It is OK if you don’t want to tell.” She lowers her head and doesn’t look to Yi Yunrui’s eyes. Her heart is painful in a mess.

Yi Yunrui notices her uneasiness. He frowns. He doesn’t want to tell her in case she will be worried about him. But seemingly she is more worried if he doesn’t tell her.

“Well, I will tell you. Don’t be mad.” Yi Yunrui says. He lifts her jaw and kisses her on the forehead, “It was very dangerous at the moment. My car was shot to be like a sieve. It was found later that it was done by a gang of international terrorists.” Yi Yunrui smiles here, “After that, I bought the Knight XV, hoping that it will hold on for some time when something happens.”

Yi Yunrui says in a casual way. But listeners can imagine how dangerous it was.

Xia Ning feels cold in her heart, unconsciously she hugs Yi Yunrui tightly, as if he will disappear suddenly.
