Heyday Love: A Heaven-sent Husband Chapter 550

Published at 30th of March 2022 04:09:12 AM

When Beitang Xiu says that, Jing Shu feels he is ready to play as if he is going to fight a tough battle.

She knows the business is war without bullets, but Beitang Xiu is so young and his family is so powerful. What is he afraid of? Even if something goes wrong, Mr. Beitang will take care of everything.

It stands to reason that he should be eager to try it!

It seems that Beitang Xiu is more mature than she imagined.

Jing Shu doesn't know what to say to that. She coughs, “Mr. Beitang, how much does the coffee cost?”

Beitang Xiu narrows his eyes slightly, “A fifty percent discount for you.”

Discount?

Jing Shu's eyes light up, “Great! Thank you in advance.”

“Sweet Bailey liqueur coffee. Here is the menu.” Beitang Xiu pushes the menu to Jing Shu.

Looking at the three-digit number on the menu, Jing Shu almost spits out coffee in her mouth!

It is still three figures with a fifty percent discount! As a commoner, how can she afford such a high price?

Beitang Xiu sees her through, “The salary of World Era Weekly should be good. You should be able to afford it.”

Jing Shu purses her lips. If she is alone, it will be no problem. But her mother needs money for treatment, she has to save money as much as possible.

“What's wrong? Having money problems?”

“…” Jing Shu smiles and looks at the menu again, “Oh, it is the most expensive coffee in the shop. No wonder.”

“Coffee brewed with wine takes time and real skills the most. Yours is made by waiters. It's not the best flavor. Next time I'll make one for you.”

“Thank you.” She wishes to come here next time, but she is afraid to come. It is too pricy.

Beitang Xiu notices that Jing Shu is hesitating like a little rabbit that rushes back to its own hole. The harmony between them soon gradually disappears and the distance also is created again.

As a commoner, she cannot be friends with rich people, not to mention with a super-rich man like Beitang Xiu.

Putting down the menu, Beitang Xiu asks her, “Wanna learn to make coffee?”

“Yes!” Jing Shu answers without thinking.

Beitang Xiu smiles, “No hurry. There will be a chance.”

Jing Shu's mouth twitches, as if the moment she reaches out to pick a big peach, someone else has taken the lead.

Distance… There is a distance between them. Rich men have seen a lot of beautiful and powerful women. In contrast, Jing Shu has nothing. She doesn't have a powerful family. She is not pretty and sexy. She is really in “no hurry”.

Thinking of this, Jing Shu sighs softly and takes a sip of coffee.

It is good, but she cannot afford to enjoy it.

Beitang Xiu sees the loss and frustration on the opposite girl's face. His thin lips raise slightly. His eyes flash, and his friendly smile seems meaningful.

Zhang Hai feels like he is the loneliest person in the world, on his left are his boss and Xia Ning, on his right are Jing Shu and Mr. Beitang.

He is a little unbalanced.

Last night, Jing Shu expressed her love for him on the phone. In just one day, she is chatting and laughing with the other man. This happened under his eyes. He feels very uncomfortable.

Women are fickle creatures. Jing Shu is a vivid example.

Even if he didn't accept her last night, she shouldn't have laughed so brightly with another man.

Besides, he didn't reject her directly.

It means that there is room for negotiation. Jing Shu still has a chance.

But now… He is really upset!

At this moment, Zhang Hai's phone rings. It is a short message. Looking at the number, Zhang Hai cheers up.

“Dude, what are you doing?”

The message is from Christine.

“Being bored.” He texts back.

“In the military region or in the city? I'm going out for supper. Wanna join?”

Zhang Hai hesitates for a while. He wants to join but his boss and Xia Ning are snuggling up. He doesn't know when it will finish, so he replies, “Not yet. I'm in the middle of something.”

“On a mission?”

“Yes.”

“Okay, tell me when you're free. Waiting for you.”

Zhang Hai's hands tremble slightly, warm and sweet feelings passing through his heart.

“Have some night snack without me! I don't know when it'll finish.”

“I'm bored, anyway. Let me know when you're done with your mission. Talk to you later.”

Zhang Hai clenches his phone tightly and smiles. For a moment, he feels that Christine is really sweet.

“OK.” He presses the send button, puts down the phone, and lets out a long sigh of relief.

Beautiful as Christine is, she is surrounded by a large group of men as long as she waves her hand to them. He knows what he is. Generally speaking, it is impossible for him to “stand out”, but he has the opportunity.

Heh, like bread falling from the sky. It hits him on the head.

Zhang Hai smiles happily. When he glances at Jing Shu again, he has a strange feeling.

He used to think that Jing Shu is good, but now, at this moment, he doesn't think so.

Beitang Xiu is rich. No wonder Jing Shu chats with him so cheerfully. Compared to Beitang Xiu, he is really nothing!

But if comparing Jing Shu with Christine, then Jing Shu…

He cannot believe… This is who she is. He thinks she is not one of them before.

Unconsciously, the balance in Zhang Hai's heart is tilted. His gaze at Jing Shu completely changes.

Yi Yunrui takes a sip of coffee. His eyes narrow slightly when he puts it down.

From this position, he can clearly see the change in Zhang Hai's look.

This change happened when Zhang Hai put down his phone.

There is something wrong with him. His eyes are no longer as simple and honest as before.

“Who did he text just now?” thinks Yi Yunrui

“Dear.” Xia Ning calls him and tells the time, “It's almost ten. Shall we go back?”

Jing Shu's mother is alone at home. She wants Jing Shu to go home earlier.

Yi Yunrui nods. Xia Ning takes out her phone and calls Jing Shu, “Shu, it's getting late. I'll get you a ride.”

Jing Shu looks at the time. Unknowingly it is ten. She promises her mother to call her at ten, “Okay. Thank you, Sister Xia.”

Hanging up the phone, before Jing Shu speaks, Beitang Xiu says, “It's late. You should go home. Have coffee sometime?”

Jing Shu smiles, “Sure. Thank you, Mr. Beitang.”

Coffee? No! They are from different worlds. What is not supposed to happen is better not to happen.

Just like some feelings, it is enough.

Xia Ning greets Beitang Xiu before leaving the coffee shop. In the car, seeing Jing Shu pursing her lips, Xia Ning asks out of curiosity, “Shu, what's wrong?”

“Eh?” Jing Shu pauses, then she laughs, “Nothing. The coffee there is so good. I'm a bad coffeemaker. It will be great if I can brew such a good coffee.”

Xia Ning blinks and says jokingly, “Do you want to learn from that master? I can help you with that.”

If Jing Shu really becomes a good coffee maker, she can enjoy good coffee anytime and anywhere!

“Uhh…” She is just talking like that! How can it come true? Jing Shu refuses, “Forget it, Mr. Beitang is busy. He has no time to teach me. It's better not to bother him.”

“Is it troublesome? Probably not. He told me this afternoon that he could 'train' you. Shu, you have a great chance! Fight for it.”

Jing Shu's eyebrows twitch. It seems that Sister Xia is more interested in this man than her. Won't it be bad if she refuses her in person…

“I discussed this with him just now. He told me that I should be in 'no hurry'. Sister Xia, since he said so, let's take it slow.”

“Oh? Did he really say that?” Beitang Xiu isn't in a hurry, but Xia Ning is.

“He did. Anyway, we should take it slow. We'll talk about it later. Hehehe…”

Xia Ning purses her lips. She thinks Jing Shu is wrong. Beitang Xiu seems to want her very much this afternoon.

“You're doing it too obvious. He must be afraid of you.”

Suddenly, Zhang Hai interrupts. Jing Shu's face changes right away!

What is obvious? What is obvious!

What does Zhang Hai mean?

“I didn't!” Jing Shu feels being insulted. She raises her voice, “Zhang Hai, what do you mean?”

Zhang Hai doesn't expect Jing Shu to get such a big reaction. He suffocates his words and feels an abrupt temperature drop in the car. He brazens it out, “It's nothing. I'm just joking. Never mind.”

Jing Shu pouts, panting loud. She knows Zhang Hai is not joking.

She clenches a fist tightly. Xia Ning and Yi Yunrui are here. Although she is angry, she cannot burst it out. She turns her face away to the window with watery eyes.

Xia Ning's face darkens, slightly frowning.

Zhang Hai and Jing Shu both look unusual. Zhang Hai shouldn't make such a “joke”, and Jing Shu shouldn't be so angry.

Unless there is something happened between these two.

From that point, Jing Shu doesn't say a word along the way. After getting out of the car, Jing Shu says goodbye to Xia Ning and hurries back home.

“Zhang Hai.” Xia Ning is uncomfortable in repression, “Are you jealous?”

“Ah?” Zhang Hai's eyes widen. Is he jealous?

“What? If you aren't jealous, why did you ridicule her?”

Zhang Hai rolls his eyes. Is he jealous? For a woman like Jing Shu? What a joke!

“No! You're overthinking this, madame.”
