Heyday Love: A Heaven-sent Husband Heyday Love: A Heaven–sent Husband Chapter 299

Chapter 299 Waiting to Watch the Performance!

Xia Ning finds that Yi Yunrui holds the phone for quite a while but doesn't answer it. She asks, “Is it…inconvenient?”

“No.” Yi Yunrui shakes his head. He presses the button, “Commander!”

“Rui, how is your injury?” a deep and hoarse voice is heard.

“It is nothing serious. Commander, do you have anything important to talk with me?”

“I will wait for you in my office.”

“OK.” Then, Yi Yunrui hangs up.

Yi Yunrui looks serious. Xia Ning feels a little worried, “Anything urgent? Are you going back to the military region soon?”

Yi Yunrui nods, “I need to go there. Ning, you may arrange your own time. I will come back when I finish.”

Xia Ning can't help laughing, “Don't worry. You may go to work. I am not a kid. You don't need to worry about me.”

“Zhang Hai, go back to the military region.”

“Yes, Commander!”

It is in the headquarters of the military region.

Yi Yunrui enters the office. He smells the rich flavor of coffee at once. Commander Xie is sitting there with a cup of newly done coffee on the table.

“Commander!” Yi Yunrui makes a salute politely.

“Rui. Have a seat!” Commander Xie says. He stands up and takes another cup for the coffee and passes it to Yi Yunrui.

Yi Yunrui looks at the black coffee. He frowns and feels a sudden pain in his chest.

“Oh!” Commander Xie suddenly pats his head, “I forget that you are injured and can't drink coffee. My mistake. Sorry.”

Commander Xie takes back the coffee in front of Yi Yunrui and gives him a cup of water instead.

“Commander, I don't drink bitter coffee. I like sweet coffee.” Yi Yunrui says frankly.

Commander Xie feels a little surprised. He smiles, “Do you learn it from your wife?”

“You love a house, and you love the crow in it, too.”

They look at each other and smile understandingly.

Yi Yunrui sits down. He takes up the cup to drink a mouthful of water. He feels it a little uncomfortable in his chest. Seemingly, the medicine is losing its effect.

“Let me see.” Commander Xie slightly closes his eyes. Suddenly he opens his eyes again and says in surprise, “Rui, it is only a week later and you are running everywhere. Even though you are young and strong, you should not hurt yourself in this way.”

“Commander, I held my wedding ceremony yesterday.”

“Oh! Sorry. I couldn't come back yesterday. Rui, I am really sorry that I didn't attend your wedding ceremony. Anyway, I may send my best wishes as well. I wish you and Miss Xia becoming parents soon!”

Yi Yunrui twitches his lips. Commander Xie is really direct.

“Hahaha!” Yi Yunrui's tiny changes in his expression are caught by Commander Xie, “You need to have a kid to complete a family. Rui, you have still got some mission to complete.”

Yi Yunrui glances at Commander Xie's grey hairs. Commander Xie is over sixty. After his wife died of illness, he has been alone for tens of years. He doesn't have any kids. He is a lonely man.

In the aspect of having a family mission to complete, actually, Commander Xie has it, more urgently.

“Hum. I will work hard.” Yi Yunrui responds, “Commander tells me to come here for any special arrangements?”

“I have just come back from the central government and heard some rumors.” Commander Xie says. He crooks his fingers to beckon to Yi Yunrui to get closer, “Rui, someone is going against you, seriously.”

Yi Yunrui is a little amused, “I know. Don't you also always know?”

It is time for it. It is time for action.

“Oh…I have known it all the time. Well. Look at me. I am a useless old man now.” Commander Xie shakes his head. He seems to feel “regretful”, “Anyway, I remember it now. Hum. Boy, it is time for you to have some hard time. You are not supposed to be always so proud.”

Yi Yunrui twitches his eyebrows. He puts down the cup, “Commander, has he started taking any moves?”

“Yes!” Commander Xie nods, “He has. Rui. Be careful! I, Commander Xie will only look on and do nothing in order to protect myself.”

“Hum. I understand.” Yi Yunrui restrains his smile. Commander Xie is his senior, supervisor and a good friend. He is a nice and funny talker. Yi Yunrui is clear that Commander Xie may say something right the opposite of his mind, “Commander, don't worry. I can manage that.”

“That is good. I may buy some snacks and get my chair prepared to watch the performance. I have to warn you. Don't you ever screw it up. Or, I will throw eggs at you.”

“If I screw it up, you may not throw eggs at me. You can consider throwing coins.” Yi Yunrui thinks for a while and says slowly.

“You boy have so much money. Do you still want to get some from your commander? Well….” Commander Yi trembles his fingers to point at Yi Yunrui, “Well. I won't argue with you about this. Hum. The coffee smells really nice. Real men should drink bitter coffee!”

Yi Yunrui feels embarrassed. The Commander is obviously meaning that Yi Yunrui is not a real man.

“Those who are considerate to their wives are real men.” He responds indifferently.

“Ugh.” Commander Xie puts down the coffee. He takes several tissues to wipe his mouth, “Well. You win!”

Commander Xie lost his wife tens of years ago. He doesn't have a wife to be considerate to!

Yi Yunrui is saying that Commander Xie can't be a real man!

“We both win.”

Commander Xie wipes the coffee sprayed out, “Rui, it is going to be tough because many people will get involved. Some of them are related to great power…Well. Do you have confidence in that?”

“Yes.” Yi Yunrui responds without hesitation.

“Good! You boy is brave. You are my man.” Commander Xie sticks up his thumb and praises him “The central government does say it clearly, but I believe you know what to do. This time, I will see you guys fight. Anyway, I prepare some excellent fighters for you. They are brave and clever. You may make use of them. I will wait for your good news.”

Yi Yunrui slightly lifts his lips, “Commander, thank you.”

Knight XV stops by a supermarket and Xia Ning gets off, “Zhang Hai, you may go back to the military region for your orders.”

“Mrs. Yi, the commander told me to stay with you. You don't need to worry about the commander. He will call me when he finishes.”

Zhang Hai gets off the car, “Mrs. Yi, I will help you carry the things.”

Xia Ning twitches her lips. Seemingly, Commander Yi sends Zhang Hai to keep watch on her.

“Zhang Hai, I am a woman going shopping. It is inconvenient to bring you with me. And, other people may misunderstand.”

Hearing this, Zhang Hai hesitates for a while, “It is fine. Mrs. Yi, I will keep some distance from you. You won't notice me at all!”

He is really confident with his tracking skills.

Xia Ning rolls her eyes, “Do you have to follow me?”

Zhang Hai curls his lips, “Yes. That's the commander's order.”

“Fine. You may do it. However, I warn you in advance. Don't complain about carrying too many things.” Xia Ning threatens him.

Zhang Hai stands at attention at once, “Mrs. Yi, don't worry. I will take the tough work. I will finish the mission!”

Then, Zhang Hai who wears an army uniform politely follows Xia Ning and they enter the supermarket, where they attract a lot of attention.

“Well. Zhang, can you be easier? You don't need to be so serious.” Xia Ning glances around and says in a low voice.

Zhang Hai blinks his eyes, “Well. Well…Mrs. Yi, to be honest, I work at computer programming. I am good at rational thinking, while weak at sensitive thinking. If the commander hadn't nominated to have me, I would have stayed in that department where I almost say nothing all day long. I rarely go shopping with women. Hum.”

In the end, Zhang Hai giggles. Xia Ning understands. Seemingly, Zhang is tense because of nervousness.

She understands the burden of Zhang Hai, but it is really weird to have a “robot” walking behind…

“Zhang, do you have any friends?”

“Yes, I have.” Zhang Hai nods, “I seldom speak, but it doesn't necessarily mean that I have problems in communication. I have a lot of friends.”

“Good. Then, you may regard me as your good friend. We are two good friends shopping now. Can it help you relax?”

Zhang Hai thinks seriously for a while and nods, “OK. I see.”

Then, Zhang Hai looks much normal. He is still polite, but they don't attract so much attention any longer.

Xia Ning comes to the supermarket because she wants to buy some food to boil some soup for Yi Yunrui's recovery. But, soon, the things she picks have fully filled a shopping cart. She doesn't notice it until Zhang Hai says, “Mrs. Yi, please wait for a minute. I go to get another cart.”

“No need. It is already too much.” Xia Ning looks at the things and shakes her head. Shopping is a born ability of women. Nothing can stop them.

Xia Ning is going to pay the bill when she finds many people standing in front and almost blocking the path.

Anything happens?

Xia Ning is curious. She goes towards the crowd.

“Mrs. Yi.” Zhang Hai hurriedly stops Xia Ning, “There are too many people there. Don't go that way. We may pay the bill and go home.”

Xia Ning hesitates for a while. Zheng Hai is thinking of protecting her. However, she really wants to find out what happens there.

“Sorry, it is my fault. Sorry. But I really have my purse stolen. So, I don't have money to pay for it. I didn't do it on purpose. Please believe me. OK?”

Xia Ning is thinking of leaving or not when someone in the crowd speaks. The Chinese he speaks sounds to have some American accent. Seemingly, he is a foreigner.

Xia Ning curiously goes forwards.

The air smells like wine. A bottle of expensive foreign wine is broken on the ground. Xia Ning glances around. They are in the high-class foreign wine booth.

“Sir, excuse me. You said that your purse had been stolen. Can you tell me a phone number of your relatives or friends? You can ask one of them to pay for the bill.” A clerk dressing like a manager says.

“Relatives? Friends…” The foreigner tries hard to think for a while and then he shakes his head honestly, “Sorry, I can't remember any of their phone numbers. God!”
