Heyday Love: A Heaven-sent Husband

Chapter 493 A Positive Report

“Speaking of Chief Editor Xia, she is so powerful, but I feel that she always stays low-key, which makes everyone in the country hear of her.”

On TV, a guest on the other side was answering the host’s questions. The very guest was the well-known talker He X from a famous TV station.

“Let me briefly introduce Chief Editor Xia. Chief Editor Xia, whose real name is Xia Ning, is now the editor in chief of World Era Weekly. Her husband’s name is unknown, but it is said that her husband is very powerful and protected by his superiors. Now it has been confirmed that Xia Ning is the granddaughter of the founding father Dai Zhen. In addition to the position in World Era Weekly, she is also the executive chairman of Junhao International Group, a world-famous multinational enterprise! It can be said that she is a super-rich woman whose property is immeasurable!”

Listening to the well-known talker introducing her vividly, Xia Ning got more and more confused. They should be talking about the senior Tang Qieying. Why did they suddenly begin to talk about her?

“Dear, what is this all about?” Xia Ning pointed at the TV, asking.

Yi Yunrui handed over the bowl of soup he ladled for her, replying, “Everyone has the right to express their own opinions. Just let it be.”

“But...” Hearing her introduction on TV, Xia Ning felt that her blood froze as fame portended trouble for men just as fattening did for pigs. “But my personal information may go public! Can you let them stop talking about it?”

Yi Yunrui smiled, replying, “Celebrities have no secrets. Just accept it.”

If it was a negative message about his little wife, he would certainly stop them from talking about it. What they were talking about now was all positive news. In fact, he was very happy to hear it.

“I wonder if you’ve heard about Xia Ning. She’s a woman surnamed Xia who’s been on the Internet for a long time. To be honest, the woman surnamed Xia has suffered a lot of grievances...” And then the guest talked about all the defamation Xia Ning had suffered over the past few years one by one vividly and emotionally. He almost shed some tears.

“A person with such a prominent status endured silently in the face of the attack from the people all over the country who didn’t know the truth. As for Xia Ning’s courage, I just want to say that I am convinced! Just like the sage said, in the face of great events, those who do not argue can achieve great success! Xia Ning deserves what she has today. If she were an ordinary person, she would fall apart long ago.”

Xia Ning’s brows twitched. Why did this well-known talker know her that well? She could even not remember some of her past!

“I... I’ll turn over.” With this, Xia Ning picked up the remote control and turned to the second channel.

“Yeah. The woman surnamed Xia is really great. Otherwise, Tang Qieying won’t protect her like this....”

She was sad to find that almost all the entertainment TV stations were talking about her past!

“Dear.” Yi Yunrui took over the remote control in Xia Ning’s hand, saying, “Stop turning over. It appears that you are the star tonight.”

Xia Ning had many experiences of “becoming famous overnight”, but every piece of news was negative about her then. This time, it was a piece of positive news. Although she was very worried, she slowly accepted it. Who could say no to sweet words?

Just as Yi Yunrui said, every TV station was talking about Xia Ning the whole night.

It seemed that the thing Tang Qieying quitted the showbiz had less news value.

Xia Ning felt something was not right. If there had been two TV stations talking about her, that would have been understandable. But now every TV station was talking about her, the possibility of manipulation could not be ruled out.

She did have many enemies and many of them itched to do whatever they could to ruin her. Who on earth was the one that wanted to praise her?

At this time, Yi Yunrui came out with a fruit tray. Xia Ning ate the fruit and suddenly a thought flashed through her mind.

Was it possible that senior Tang wanted to divert people’s attention and change the subject by this?

If it was the plan of senior Tang, she had better bear it.

“Dear, could it be done by senior Tang?”

Yi Yunrui raised his eyebrows, saying, “That’s a possibility.”

Fine, since her husband also thought so, she’d better suffer it!

Ha, she was the big shot tonight.

After Xia Ning’s information appeared on TV, lots of people called her. Li Baoer got so happy as if she had been on TV as she praised her again and again. And all the others just called over to flatter her, which made Xia Ning sigh that there were all kinds of people in the world.

Thinking that she might be surrounded by journalists, Xia Ning returned to the company early in the morning. Several radio interview cars came at dawn. Xia Ning slipped into the media building when the journalists weren’t looking.

Xia Ning was relieved after entering her office.

It was around eight o’clock. Xia Ning took a look at Man and Xiaoniao who were reading books and walked to the bar by herself, asking, “Hey, wanna coffee?”

“Yes!” Man replied in a loud voice without any hesitation.

Xia Ning smiled and turned to look at Xiaoniao. She also nodded her head.

Xia Ning supported her head and looked out of the window while making coffee in silence.

The sky became bright and the number of the cars on the road gradually increased. She was on the top floor of the media building. Unknowingly, she turned into a leader.

Four years ago, she was just a minor journalist who was betrayed by the one she loved most and trampled on by others. She strived so hard for her life. It seemed that all these happened just yesterday, which was rather impressive.

Time filed. Though things always stayed the same and people always changed, she was still Xia Ning while everything around her changed.

Because she found the love of her life, Yi Yunrui. She was lucky to marry him. She remembered that she was really frightened when Yi Yunrui suddenly proposed to her.

Stroking her swollen belly, Xia Ning smiled sweetly. In about eight months, the baby would be born. She was looking forward to it.

A beep came from the coffee machine and the coffee was ready.

She poured three cups of coffee. After putting two cups of coffee in front of Man and Xiaoniao, Xia Ning sat back in her position, turned around, and looked at everything under her feet through the huge French windows.

Just at the moment, there was a knock on the door. Xia Ning looked at the people outside the door from the monitor and was startled!

It was summer, but the man was wearing a coat and a felt hat. Under the felt hat there was a big pair of sunglasses on the person’s face. It was obvious that the person was deliberately hiding his identity.

“Xia Ning, this is Leon!”

Xia Ning’s eyes lit up when she heard the name and then she opened the door.

Leon quickly entered and then closed the door, exclaiming, “G*d, it’s so hot!”

With this, he took off the felt hat and the coat, tossing it aside.

“Your Highness, when did you arrive?” Xia Ning asked curiously.

Leon dropped into the sofa and lay spread-eagled, replying, “I’ve been bothered by those little b*st*rds these days! Oh? You’ve made coffee? Please pour a cup for me.”

Xia Ning poured Leon a cup of coffee and took it to him, asking, “Your Highness, did you have breakfast?”

“Come on, Xia Ning. Don’t call me like that. Just call me Leon.” With this, Leon took a sip of coffee, “It’s so sweet.”

“I like coffee with sweet milk. Sorry, if it doesn’t taste good, I’ll ask my assistant to cook another cup for you.”

“No. sweet coffee is also good.” And then Lyon took another sip, “I hear that you are pregnant, aren’t you?”

“Yep, two months.” Xia Ning replied, involuntarily stroking her belly.

Leon tilted his head, smacked his lips, and said, “My father is a little demanding and I dare not date anyone. If I take a girl home, I’m afraid that he’ll spook her.”

Xia Ning smiled, replying, “Oh yeah? I met Duke Davis Widdison the other day and chatted with him for a while. He is very kind and doesn’t appear very strict.”

“You’ve met my dad recently?” Leon goggled in surprise, “Where?”

“Just in the street, he even treated me to breakfast.”

Xia Ning’s words stupefied Leon. He didn’t seem to buy it, “My father... He treated you to breakfast? What was this all about?”

Xia Ning told Leon exactly what happened at that time. Leon listened carefully. After Xia Ning finished, Leon frowned slightly and was thinking about something.

“What’s wrong? By the way, is Duke Davis Widdison still in China or back to Britain?”

“I came back this time to look for my dad. He hasn’t contacted me for about a month.”

Xia Ning was shocked, asking, “Why? Did you quarrel with him?”

Leon shook his head. He feared his strict father and even watched his mouth when facing him. He had no chance to talk back and it was impossible for him to quarrel with his father, “Before my father left, he just said that he would go to Ch*na to do something. As for what it was, my father didn’t tell me. I came to you this time to ask if you have seen my father.”

Xia Ning pondered for a moment and asked, “Leon, why did you come to me to ask about your father’s whereabouts?”

She was very surprised that Duke Davis Widdison suddenly appeared in front of her last time. Now Leon also paid her a visit. There must be some reasons.

“I took some photos last time I came to Ch*na and showed them to my dad. He pointed at you and asked who you were. Shortly after that, he came to Ch*na. I guess his trip to Ch*na this time has something to do with the photos. My father never talks much and won’t let others know what is in his mind. When he pointed at you and asked me who you were, I really got stunned. I thought you knew my father.”

“So, did Duke Davis Widdison say anything?”

“No. My father’s over 90. Although he’s still fit and strong, it’s very unusual for him to come all the way to China. Besides, I haven’t heard from him for more than a month. I’m very worried.”

“So, did you call him?”

“My father didn’t pick up any of my calls.” Speaking of this, Leon sighed, “I really don’t know what my father is thinking. It’s not his own voice. I’m really worried. So, I came to China. After tracking him down for a few days, I found that my father even turned off his cell phone. How upsetting!”

It was indeed an unusual situation. What he worried most was that his father was kidnapped by others. His father was more than 90 years old and could hardly fight back when attacked.
