Heyday Love: A Heaven-sent Husband

Chapter 33: A Serious Warning

“The number you have dialed is power off…”

Xia Ning frowns, Yi Yunrui turns off his phone?

What happened?

Feeling uncertain, Xia Ning dials again but the answer is the same.

Xia Ning looks at the phone blankly for a while and signs. Maybe Army Commander Yi is too busy. Or, maybe something happened in the Army region and phones are not allowed…

Anyway, if anything happened to Yi Yunrui, Zheng Yao wouldn’t have been so quiet.

In this world, among the many people caring about Yi Yunrui, who she is?

“Xia Ning, open the door for me!”

Li Bao’er comes with her big voice. Xia Ning feels warm. She puts down the phone and goes to open the door.

Li Bao’er enters with the look of coming all the way in a hurry. She goes directly to the refrigerator, takes a bottle of beverage, opens it and drinks.

“Miss Li Bao’er, what have you done? How can you be so thirsty like this?” Xia Ning smiles and makes fun of her.

Li Bao’er stares at her, “Isn’t it because of you? I was worried about you. Thinking of all those you have gone through. It is a pity that I don’t have the power. Or, I will kick all the bastards away.”

Xia Ning is touched. She pats her shoulder and says, “It is a small case. I can handle it.”

“A small case?” Li Bao’er is going to say something, but seeing the bitterness inside Xia Ning’s eyes, she pauses kindly, “All right. I am here now. Anything unhappy, just throw it to me.”

“It is rare.” Xia Ning bends her head and looks at her, “I have just quarreled with Chief Editor Xiao. Miss Li even does not want to gossip.”

“Ah,” Li Bao’er waves her hand, “It is not gossip material. Frankly, it is but tricks. Reasonable or not, you will lose!”

“Oh…” Xia Ning responses lightly and turns back to enter the kitchen.

Not for a while, Xia Ning comes out with some things in her hands: two glasses and a bottle of Remy Martin XO.

She opens the bottle and pours each of them a glass, “Want some drink?”

Li Bao’er opens her mouth widely. As far as she knows, Xia Ning drinks when she is not happy. The problem is: there is only wine, without even one snack for the wine. It hurts health.”

“But you have to get some snacks.” Li Bao’er frowns. When she opened the refrigerator, she noticed that it was empty inside. If they want to have snacks, they will need to go out and buy some.

Xia Ning raises her head and drinks a big glass and pours herself another glass. With the wine in her hand, she thinks, “Shall we go out or cook some at home?”

“Let’s go out to eat. My treat. Wherever you like.” Li Bao’er says proudly.

Xia Ning flashes her eyes, “Then, we will go to have sushi.”

“OK.” Li Bao’er responses at once, “Which restaurant?”

“Hokkaido Sushi Restaurant.”

Hearing these words, Li Bao’er’s lips twitch slightly.

Xia Ning, you dare.

Then, the two go directly to Hokkaido Sushi Restaurant. Xia Ning eats a lot and drinks a lot. Seeing by the side, Li Bao’er feels her sweats coming out. It seems that next time she needs to be careful to be generous.

When they go for the check, Li Bao’er does not dare to look at the bill. She closes her eyes and swipes her card.

Xia Ning stands by her side, laughing.

Li Bao’er raises her browns, imaging of pressing two fingers on her face and pinching her to death.

“Are you going back?” Pulling Li Bao’er to the supermarket, Xia Ning asks while doing the shopping.

“No. I will stay with you. You may go crazy as you like.”

If she leaves, Xia Ning will again drink alone with her sadness. As a friend of years, she knows Xia Ning. Xia Ning is a person telling the good, but not the bad. When she is happy, she will share good things with her. When she is sad, she will hide herself from anyone’s contacting.

When Xia Ning is doing the shopping, she looks quiet. It cannot tell what she is thinking.

Li Bao’er thinks for a while and tries, “Where is Army Commander Yi? Don’t you know each other? How is it now?”

Xia Ning pauses and says, “He is too busy to contact me.” Slightly, as nothing happened, Xia Ning says, pushing the shopping cart to the cashier.

“My Miss Xia, Army Commander Yi is an excellent man, one out of tens of thousands. You have to take the initiative to earn him. Or, other women will.”

Xia Ning feels hurt in her heart and her face turns pale immediately.

Li Bao’er is in great surprise, “How are you? Don’t you feel well? Why you look so pale?”

“I am fine.” Xia Ning shakes her head.

Even if she takes the initiative, she will lose. Instead of losing in an ugly way, why not just let go with dignity.”

“Do you have something I don’t know?” Li Bao’er holds her, “Don’t bear everything all by yourself. If you remember that I am your sister, you tell me what the sadness in your heart is. I may not be able to help you. But at least, I will be with you…”

“I am fine.” Xia Ning smiles and interrupts. Buying the bill, she throws a full bag of stuff to Li Bao’er, “Go home to eat.”

When she says “eat”, she means drinking match!

Xia Ning drinks one glass after another, all in one mouth. One bottle of Remy Martin XO cannot last long. It soon shows the bottom.

“I am going to buy some wine.” Xia Ning stands up, but at once is thrown back to the sofa. She is too dizzy to tell the directions.

“It is enough. Drink no more.” Li Bao’er holds her and says.

Xia Ning drinks at least two-thirds of the whole bottle of Remy Martin XO. Half an hour later, she may not be able to remember her family name for the strong wine impact.

“No. It is not enough. I want some more.” Xia Ning wants to get up again but is pushed back by Li Bao’er. She is not happy, “What are you doing! Didn’t you agree that you will drink with me tonight?”

“Aren’t we drinking?” Li Bao’er pours her a cup of hot tea, “It is too late and wine stores are close. We have to go to work tomorrow morning. Would you give your sister a break?”

“Work…” Xia Ning murmurs, “I don’t want to go…”

“All right. If you don’t want to go, I will help you to ask for a leave.”

“No, no need to ask for a leave.” Xia Ning waves her hand, “I can go. I have to go and prepare the report for that exclusive interview.”

Li Bao’er gives her an angry stare. At this time, she still remembers her work!

“Well, you want to go to work. We need to have a rest. Come on, let me help you to your room.” Li Bao’er wants to hold her, but is pushed away by her hand.

“I am sleeping here.” As a child, she drops the words and throws her face into the sofa.

Li Bao’er cannot but go to fetch a quilt from the room and covers her with it.

Seeing her sleep and her breath go stable, Li Bao’er feels released. She looks at her pretty face and shakes her head.

Even she drinks because of feeling sad, Xia Ning will not be noisy. That is her. She takes the given things as they are and pretends that she is happy.

Suddenly, Xia Ning’s phone rings. Li Bao’er takes it to look and finds it is Xiao Tingting.

She hesitates whether she should answer to it or not. Thinking for a while, she takes the phone.

“Xia Ning, President Li’s secretary will come to our company tomorrow. You explain to her if you have anything to say. You don’t ever think of not coming to the office. Not getting rid of this, President Li says he will see you in the court.”

Xiao Tingting hangs up after finishing her speech. Li Bao’er is frozen.

See in the court? What does that mean?

What kind of trouble has Xia Ning caused?”
