Chapter 583 Long-lost affection Between Family Members


Davis Widdison is Britain’s most famous aristocrat. With an extremely noble duke title, he is the symbol of royal power.


But such a prominent person is driving the most common car and wearing the clothes of ordinary people in China.


His clothes are very simple. However, the old duke doesn’t seem to have much sense of strangeness in this dress. On the contrary, it adds a touch of righteousness to him.


“Ning, Commander Yi!” Before Xia Ning and Yi Yunrui open their mouth, the old duke just gets off the car and is going to give them a hug with a smile.


“You are so enthusiastic. Especially Xia Ning, since you are pregnant, you should pay attention. Although I am old, I am in good health.” The old duke comes over and talks with them happily.


“I’m only four months pregnant, so it’s okay. And the doctor told me to exercise more. Welcome to come over.” This is the first time that Xia Ning has felt the embrace of the old duke, and a very kind feeling lingers in her heart.


This feeling is very warm, just like seeing her relatives.


“Look at you, Ning. I said you don’t have to be so polite! We are close!”


Xia Ning blinks, “I will pay attention in the future. However, this is your first time visiting my home. Anyway, you are my guest. I should be polite.”


The old duke wears the ring of the one-horned horse in his hand, which is dazzling in the sunlight. At this time, the one-horned horse, like an elf, is so beautiful that people can’t move their eyes.


In fact, the old duke saw the ring on Xia Ning’s hand in the car.


That kind of feeling is like a wanderer returning home and being greeted by relatives. This is a kind of feeling that belongs only to relatives, which makes people warm and at ease.


He is very happy because Xia Ning is wearing the ring.


Realizing that the old duke is looking straight at her hand wearing a ring, Xia Ning is very nervous. But he is not unhappy, which makes Xia Ning feel at ease.


“This ring…” The old duke reaches out his hand and pats Xia Ning’s hand gently. “It suits you very well, Ning.”


Hearing this, Xia Ning takes a sigh of relief, “The ring is very valuable, and I will take good care of it.”


Duke Davis nods. “Ning, this ring belongs to you. Keep it well. Never let the ring leave you.”


The old duke’s words have another meaning. Xia Ning can’t fully understand for a while, but she knows that the old duke must have said this for a reason.


“This way, Duke Davis.” Yi Yunrui greets him with his left hand and holds his wife’s hand with his right hand.


The old duke’s visit to the compound of the military region this time is purely a private activity. In order to avoid causing great impact, only a few extra guards are sent to the compound. To outsiders, nothing has changed at all.


The house is cleaned spotlessly, and the furniture is simple but chic, which shows the ingenuity of the male and female masters. Duke Davis smiles and looks at it for a while before saying, “Commander Yi designed this house elaborately. The house is very elegant.”


Yi Yunrui smiles, “My house is simple and crude. You flatter me. Thank you.”


The house is not big, but Duke Davis visited it carefully. After seeing the whole department, he says with lingering feelings, “It seems that your life is really interesting.”


They talk for a while and then sit down at the table.


Seeing that there are all Chinese dishes, Duke Davis widens his eyes with joy, “To be honest, my favorite food is Chinese dishes because Chinese dishes preserve and give play to the original taste of food well. The dishes made by my cook always taste insipid and not delicious.”


After that, the old duke puts a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs into his mouth and chews it. “That’s right. That’s the taste! It’s so authentic!”


Seeing Duke Davis eating so happily, Xia Ning feels relieved, “It’s good for you to like it. I was worried that all the food we prepared is Chinese food and you wouldn’t like it.”


“No, I like it! It’s very delicious!” When he said this, the old duke, who is over 90 years old, becomes like a child and takes a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs into his mouth, “In the past, Lian’ni liked this dish. My baby loves this, too, and so do I. By the way, let’s eat together! Come on!”


Xia Ning and Yi Yunrui look at each other, nod, and pick up the chopsticks. She was also worried about the problem of poor etiquette, which doesn’t seem to exist at all now.


Duke Davis is really a kind old uncle.


When the old duke speaks just now, he involves her grandmother. “The old duke called Grandma ‘Lian’ni’. Did Grandma know him for a long time?” Xia Ning thought.


“Ning, if my estimation is correct, do you also love this dish?” He asks Xia Ning.


“Yes, I like sweet and sour pork ribs and sweet and sour fish.”


“Oh, yes, sweet and sour fish! I should taste the sungarichthys!” After saying that, he picks a large piece of fish into his mouth, and his mouth is full, and he can’t stop praising, “Delicious! Really delicious!”


Looking at him, Xia Ning smiles. The old duke eats like a child with his mouth full of sweet and sour sauce. She takes a paper towel and hands it to him. “Duke Davis, you have something on your beard. Wipe it.”


“Well, thank you, Ning.” The old duke takes it, wipes his mouth, and narrows his eyes.


It hasn’t happened for decades that the whole family gets together and eats happily. He thought his life would pass simply and that scene only existed in his mind. Now, the two people sitting in front of him are his last relatives in the world, and he thought he would never find them…


At the moment Lian’ni left him, he fell into the boundless darkness. He thought everything in this world had no color and the world was no different from hell.


He once cursed everything, but now it seems that God is good to him.


At least, God can satisfy his last wish.


Duke Davis has to admit that this meal is the most satisfying and delicious meal he has eaten in decades. The table is full of all kinds of dishes. After he gobbled them up, there are only empty dishes left on the table.


British aristocrats have received strict family education since childhood, and such a situation is absolutely impossible. But Duke Davis is so happy that he forgets all about etiquette.


This scene, if seen by others, is definitely the most shocking thing in the world this year.


Drinking the fragrant tea made by Yi Yunrui, Duke Davis caresses his stomach and is satisfied, “Ning, tell me honestly. Who cooked this meal?”


Xia Ning feels embarrassed, glances at Yi Yunrui, and wants to speak, but she doesn’t say it. She just points to the man next to her with her fingers.


“Ha-ha!” Duke Davis laughs. “I heard a saying in the C military region that Commander Yi loves his wife the most. Now it seems that there is no doubt about it.”


Xia Ning is very moved and blushes, “Duke Davis, in fact, I can do it, too. It’s just not as delicious as his cooking. So…”


“Nothing, if you make it, I will like it no matter how it tastes!” Speaking of this, Duke Davis stops, “If there is a chance next time, I hope you will cook it yourself, OK?”


“Cooking is very simple, but you may have diarrhea at that time. Don’t blame me.” She can cook ordinary home dishes. But the dishes are very simple and cannot be provided for noble people, especially for Duke Davis. Therefore, she is under great pressure.


If she is stressed out, she must be out of order.


If she doesn’t play well and cooks bad food, she will lose Commander Yi’s face!


Therefore, she has to exaggerate her words so that the old duke has “self-knowledge”.


“Nothing, I am in good health and can accept it. You can rest assured to cook.” Duke Davis says this with a happy smile on his face but some regret in his heart.


Xia Ning is pregnant, and he will definitely not let her cook before the baby is born. Things are changeable, and no one knows what will happen in six months.


He is now almost a hundred years old, and his health is getting worse every year. He can’t tell what will happen next year.


But he still wants to taste his granddaughter’s cooking.


Decades ago, he thought about accompanying Lian’ni every day, but now, he just wants to live a few more years and watch the little great-grandson be born and grow up…


Xia Ning feels that the old duke looks at herself with meaningful intention. Xia Ning has doubts in her heart and wants to ask him several times. But when she thinks of the old duke’s words, she doesn’t want to speak out.


The old duke says that when he arranges things well in the future, he will tell her the reason.


But the mood of waiting is really uncomfortable.


They sit in the hall, sipping tea and eating refreshments while gossiping. The old duke is very interested in what happened around Xia Ning. He listens carefully to Xia Ning’s stories as if he would never get bored. He is interested in it.


The old duke asks Yi Yunrui about the military region. They talk about it in a serious way, which is so serious that Xia Ning doesn’t dare to interrupt.


Rather than talking, it is better to say that the superior leaders are “checking the military parade”, and the way they talk between them is very formal.


In this situation, Xia Ning feels very strange. Duke Davis’s attitude while talking with her is totally different from his attitude while talking with Yi Yunrui.


“Maybe the old duke is just being polite to me.” She thinks.


She is special to the old duke.


She really wants to know what her special identity is.


At this moment, Xia Ning’s cell phone rings, “Sorry, I’ll answer the phone.”


Finding that this is the number of Hua Xiaoran, Xia Ning frowns slightly, gets up, and walks aside.


“Hello, Xiaoran…”


“Miss Xia, can you come to the hospital now? Woo…”


Before Xia Ning finishes, the voice of Hua Xiaoran comes from the other end of the mobile phone, but she cries before she finishes speaking.
