Heyday Love: A Heaven-sent Husband Heyday Love: A Heaven–sent Husband Chapter 278

Chapter 278 A Great Difference

Hearing An Zeyou's childish words, Xia Ning is amused, “Mr. An, Xiaoruo is just a newcomer, do you need to be so mean to him? You have been popular for a long time. You have got your talents. What are you worried about?”

An Zeyou hesitates for a while at the other end of the phone, “Ning, do you think that…I am better than him?”

Xia Ning twitches her eyebrows, wondering whether An Zeyou wants to draw her to the muddle.

“In the aspect of the experience, you are surely better than him.” God. An Zeyou has been in the entertainment circle for so many years and he is still not calm at all…

“Hahaha!” The laughter of success is heard from An Zeyou, “Ning, with your words, I won't be disturbed by him. Anyway, Ning, please don't ever be cheated by his appearance. He is really not a kind person…”

“Hum. I know. You have repeated it many times. I have a husband. Don't worry.” An Zeyou talks and goes back to this topic. Well, Xia Ning has got Yi Yunrui with her. It will be really hard for other men to attract her.

An Zeyou is still murmuring something when Xia Ning hangs up. She hasn't met An Zeyou for quite some time. She finds that An Zeyou turns to be as annoying as a big fly.

Xia Ning carefully checks the agenda Gu Ruoruo sent to her. It includes some drafts about the exclusive interview with Xiaoruo. Xia Ning mildly smiles. Seemingly, it is written by Gu Ruoruo.

Xia Ning feels more amused when she reads the questions Gu Ruoruo prepared. Anyway, the questions are childish, but they are what the young girls care most. It takes Xia Ning quite a while to choose some questions among the dozens of them.

She is busy when the office phone rings. It is Gu Ruoruo. Xia Ning takes up the handset, “What's up?”

“Xiaoruo's agent called just now, asking whether we can arrange the exclusive interview this afternoon.

Xia Ning thinks for a while. She glances at the agenda, “OK. Let's make it this afternoon.”

Xia Ning hangs up the phone. She gets down to prepare the content for the exclusive interview. At the time, her phone rings. It is ten o'clock. It is Commander Yi.

He calls at 10:00, 12:00, 14:00, 16:00…, almost a call every two hours. Xia Ning instinctively feels herself under surveillance.

“Where are you?”

“In my office…” Xia Ning rolls her eyes, “May I ask where Commander Yi is?”

“I am in a meeting.” Yi Yunrui simply answers. He says that he is in a meeting, but it is silent at the other end of the phone.

Xia Ning is confused. If he is in a meeting, there should be some people speaking…

“Why it is silent there?” Xia Ning asks confusedly.

Yi Yunrui hesitates. He glances at the leaders present and slightly lifts his lips, “I am hosting the meeting.”

Xia Ning feels her heart tightened. She feels very embarrassed, “Sorry, I shouldn't have asked…”

“It is fine. I didn't tell it clearly. I will pay attention to that next time.” Yi Yunrui slightly lowers his voice, “Then, it is all. You may hang up.”

“Hum.” Xia Ning nods and hangs up the phone.

If she doesn't hang up first, Yi Yunrui will not hang up. It happened several times. One time, they talked on the phone for almost four hours.

Xia Ning is good at doing exclusive interviews. Soon, the draft is finished. She checks the time. It's eleven in the morning.

They will get off work in half an hour. Xia Ning keeps remembering the Irish coffee shop on the opposite side of the road.

She planned to go there several times but couldn't make it, which makes the shop more attractive.

Then, she keeps thinking about it…

Xia Ning rolls her eyes. She takes up her handbag. Now, she will go there directly!

Ten minutes later, Xia Ning gets to the Irish coffee shop.

She orders a cup of the main style in the shop, the Irish coffee tastes mellow with whiskey flavor. It is sweet, but a little sour and salty, too. It is special. Xia Ning brightens her eyes!

She drank some Irish coffee before, but none is authentic. It may be either too bitter or too sour. What she drinks today is authentic and really delicious!

Xia Ning adds an Irish coffee cake in her order. The enjoyment is doubled. Xia Ning feels very happy.

It is a pity that this coffee shop only provides coffee and cake. It doesn't provide any other things for lunch. So, she has to go somewhere for lunch later.

Anyway, it is not far from KFC. She will finish the coffee and buy some take-away lunch. She can eat when she improves her reports. Life can be so great!

Xia Ning is just going to pay the bill when she sees some familiar people approaching.

They are Dai Zhongheng, Li Baoer, and Zhenzhen!

Zhenzhen holds Dai Zhongheng and Li Baoer's hands. She smiles happily. Looking at the happy family of three, Xia Ning feels sweet in her heart.

People in the scene change to be her, Yi Yunrui and their future baby…

“Let's have a baby.”

Yi Yunrui's words pop up in her brain and echo. Xia Ning is lost in meditation.

“Ning!”

Li Baoer greets loudly from far away. Xia Ning is drawn back to reality.

“Hi, Colonel Dai, Zhenzhen. What a coincidence!” Xia Ning smiles.

“Sister Xia!” Zhenzhen sees Xia Ning. She happily goes to throw herself into Xia Ning's embrace.

Xia Ning strokes Zhenzhen's head. She feels sweet, “Does Zhenzhen come to have fun?”

“Un-huh! Uncle Dai takes me here to have fun.” Zhenzhen lifts her pink face.

Xia Ning glances at Dai Zhongheng. Didn't Yi Yunrui say just now that he was in a meeting? Why is Dai Zhongheng here?

“Colonel Dai.” Xia Ning greets.

“Mrs. Yi.” Dai Zhongheng holds Li Baoer's hand tightly.

Li Baoer glances at the cake and coffee in Xia Ning's table. She curls her lips, “Ning, why do you have them alone secretly? You didn't invite your friend!”

Xia Ning feels a little embarrassed, “I happened to have time. I was afraid that you might be busy. Oh. I will go back for an urgent report. Baoer, don't be mad at me. We will come together next time.”

Li Baoer curls her lips, “Hum. Next time, if I catch you on the site again. I will be very angry!”

Xia Ning smiles, “OK. OK. It is my fault. Next time, I will surely ask you to come together. Colonel Dai and Zhenzhen are here. You may take your time. I am going to buy a take-away lunch.”

Xia Ning is speaking when a waiter comes to her. The waiter has not spoken, when Dai Zhongheng has passed a one-hundred banknote to him. He says, “It is on me.”

Xia Ning blinks her eyes, “Thank you. I may go to buy a lottery ticket later.”

“If you win, we will take the share.” Li Baoer says at once.

“OK!” Xia Ning responds. She crouches down to Zhenzhen, “Zhenzhen, you have to listen to Sister Baoer. Behave well. OK?”

Zhenzhen seriously nods, “Hum. I will behave well. Sister Xia, don't worry.”

Xia Ning feels sorry for Zhenzhen. She strokes Zhenzhen's head and glances at Dai Zhongheng meaningfully. Dai Zhongheng nods as a response.

At two in the afternoon, Xia Ning gets a call from Yi Yunrui when she has arrived at Tianyu Entertainment Company in C City.

Xia Ning enters the company and Xiaoruo's agent has been waiting for her. The agent is a gentle man.

“Hello, Director Xia.” He warmly greets Xia Ning, “My surname is Wu.”

“Agent Wu, how do you do?” Xia Ning shakes hands with him, “Is Xiaoruo free now?”

“Yes. He has been waiting for you. We were not in such a hurry, but Xiaoruo is going to another city for a location shooting tomorrow and he won't be back soon. So, we have to ask Director Xia to adjust the time. We are really sorry for the inconvenience.”

“That is all right. As long as Xiaoruo is free, it is fine for me to come at any time.”

They talk and walk to Xiaoruo's office.

Agent Wu opens the door. It is large and empty inside. It is simple with no extra decoration.

The only active things are Xiaoruo's posters which are hung on and occupy the walls.

“Director Xia, please come in.” Agent Wu points inside.

Xia Ning walks in. She sees a man sitting in a corner of the office. He holds a script and is reading carefully.

He dresses in white casual clothes. His hairs are black and straight. He looks extremely clean and elegant. Though he wears such simple clothes, Xia Ning feels it hard to move her eyes away when she sees him.

Xiaoruo is aware of their coming. He lifts his head and looks at Xia Ning.

Xia Ning brightens her eyes. The face and the skin are pretty enough to make women envy, not to mention men.

His eyes are as bright as obsidian. They stare at each other. Xia Ning feels her heart beat more rapidly.

“Xiaoruo, this is Director Xia from World Era Weekly.” Agent Wu gives the introduction.

“How do you do?” Xiaoruo speaks. His voice sounds a little immature and shy.

“How do you do?” Xia Ning holds out her hand, “I have heard a lot about you. It is nice to meet you today. Thank you for accepting the interview of World Era Weekly.”

Xiaoruo nods. He turns to Agent Wu as if he is asking some questions.

Agent Wu hesitates, “Director Xia, please have a seat. You may talk. I will prepare the tea for you.”

Then, Agent Wu turns to leave.

Xia Ning and Xiaoruo are left alone in the large room. Xiaoruo lowers his head. He dares not look at Xia Ning. He looks very shy.

Xia Ning smiles, “Xiaoruo, is there anything inconvenient?”

Xiaoruo shakes his head. He slightly clenches his fists silently.

All stars like to show off in front of other people.

It is the first time for Xia Ning to see one like Xiaoruo.

Xia Ning is aware of his uneasiness. An idea pops up in her brain, “Xiaoruo, were you reciting the script just now?”

Xiaoruo glances at the script and nods.

“Are you preparing for a new film?”

Xiaoruo thinks for a while, “Yes. I am going to have a location shooting tomorrow.”

Hearing what he says, Xia Ning takes out a cute doll and passes it to Xiaoruo, “Xiaoruo, this is a gift from your fans. It is a blessing. They hope you can take it.”

Xiaoruo takes it over with no hesitation, “Thank you. Director Xia, please tell them that I will work hard.”

Xia Ning brightens her eyes. Oh. She has found the opening to start the conversation with Xiaoruo!

“Hum. I will. Your fans will be very happy when they know you are concerned about them.”

Xiaoruo smiles shily. He is just going to speak something when Agent Wu comes in. The smile on his face suddenly disappears.
