Heyday Love: A Heaven-sent Husband

Chapter 53 Who Says I Don’t Like Her?

Xia Ning smiles. She teases him, “What will Commander Yi do?”

Yi Yunrui is going to speak but is reminded of something. He shakes his head, “Not now. I will tell you everything after it is done.”

Xia Ning rolls her eyes, “Military confidence again? Well. I am nobody. I’d better not ask about it to avoid violating the law...”

She has not finished the words when she is knocked gently at the forehead. She strokes her head and blinks one eye, “It hurts. Can I complain?”

“No.” Yi Yunrui pulls her into his embrace. He says gently, “After leaving the hospital, will you go to C city with me at once?”

Xia Ning is moved. She nods, “It is time for me to go to World Era TV Station too. I should leave for C city.”

Yi Yunrui frowns, “Not before you recover.”

“I am fine.” After having several bowls of porridge, Xia Ning gets back some of her strength and she speaks more, “I promised Director Gu that I would be there within ten days. Now it is the sixth day. I am an honest woman. I don’t want to leave a bad impression on Director Gu.”

“Do you care much about what Director Gu think?”

Xia Ning blinks her eyes. She feels there is something unusual in Yi Yunrui’s words, “Rui, that is work. You are an army man. You know better what discipline is...”

“That is right. It needs discipline. But the condition is that you need to recover first. If not, even if you go to work, you cannot practice what you can. That is worse. Do you agree?”

Xia Ning gets stuck. What Commander Yi says is reasonable. She is not essential to the World Era TV Station. If she goes to work, she should go with a good spirit instead of illness.

Seeing Xia Ning doesn’t respond, Yi Yunrui continues, “I will talk to the World Era TV Station. You just be good and stay with me to have a rest during this time.”

“How long will that be?”

Yi Yunrui signs slightly, “Who will risk their lives to work like you? Your head is hurt. At least, it takes half a month to recover. So, you have a good rest during this time. I will handle other things.”

Xia Ning wants to argue. She opens her mouth but is stopped by him. She cannot but lean on his chest.

The Army Commander Yi is obstinate about this.

“Well, don’t argue. Lie down for a rest.” Saying this, he helps her to lie down and holds her hands and sits by her quietly.

The infusion is going on. Xia Ning is tired. She wants to close her eyes but finds that Yi Yunrui’s eyes keep staring at her. She blushes and says, “Rui, will you not look at me in this way?”

Yi Yunrui lifts his eyebrows, “Don’t you like it?”

Xia Ning blushes and lowers her head.

God. What is she supposed to say?

She cannot say she doesn’t like it, but she also cannot say she likes it... She is shy...

“Your hands are cool.” Yi Yunrui glances at the infusion. It is feeding anti-inflammatory. He strokes her face. It is also a little cool, “Are you cold?”

Xia Ning shakes her head, “I don’t feel cold. I am good.”

Yi Yunrui looks at her quietly, as if he is thinking of something. Xia Ning glances at him. Seeing his serious eyes, she feels her heart jumps inside her chest. She closes her eyes at once.

With her eyes closed, she feels sleepy. Vaguely, she feels that he holds her into his embrace.

It is very warm and safe...

“Shh.” Zheng Yao pulls her husband’s hand when he is going into the room and points inside, “Look.”

Yi Xian looks through the crack of the door, puzzled. The young couple is embracing each other in sleep. He smiles, “Ah, they are good.”

Seeing her son and daughter-in-law in the hospital bed, Zheng Yao is excited. It is like the scene in the war time decades ago, when she was hurt and her husband came back from the frontline. When he saw her, he did not speak a word but embraced her tightly.

Love sometimes needs no word.

Her son really loves Xia Ning. That is true love.

She might have some misunderstandings about Xia Ning in some things.

The girl has lost her parents. She is from an innocent family. If she is wronged, she can only bear it. If her husband’s family doesn’t care for her, she is miserable.

Zheng Yao is thinking and her hand is held tightly by her husband.

“Don’t disturb them. We may come again later.” Saying this, he puts down the gifts by the door and leaves, carrying his wife’s hand.

“Xian, do you think... that as the mother-in-law I am too atrocious?”

Yi Xian looks at her, “Not atrocious, but you are too suggestible. You are also frank. However, these are what I like. I like your personality.”

Zheng Yao smiles and hits him with her fist, “Atrociousness is atrociousness. You say it tactfully. Ah...you are right. Rui is our son. We know him best. We should also trust Xia Ning. To be honest, what is said in the newspaper still makes me uncomfortable. I am a little worried.” ????n????????????????????. ????????????

“In fact, there is one thing that your son has never mentioned to you. It is time now. Let me tell you.”

Zheng Yao frowns, “What is the secret you hide from me? Do you have a bear gut?”

“How dare I?” Yi Xian turns to embrace his wife, “Actually that report in the newspaper was arranged by Jingyao.”

Zheng Yao is shocked and stunned. After a while, she asks, “You knew it before. Why didn’t you tell me?”

“How could we tell you?” Yi Xian smiles and shakes his head, “You treated Jingyao as your daughter. Even if we said something, you would consider it as a false accusation. If it were not handled well, you would scold us for not being decent. Ah...”

Seeing her husband smile honestly, Zheng Yao is warm, and unconsciously, her eyes flashes with tears.

So, it is the truth...

Even though they knew the truth, even though she did the wrong thing, her husband and her son still quietly cared for her feelings...

“Yao, I know you don’t like your daughter-in-law, but it is the kids’ own matter. We may not bother about that. Let them handle it. I believe, the most important thing is that everyone in the family is happy...”

“Who says I don’t like Ning?” Not waiting for Yi Xian to finish, Zheng Yao interrupts angrily, “That is a misunderstanding! I am wrong. I misunderstood her. I, her mother-in-law, will find a time to apologize to her. I tell you, Xian, don’t speak nonsense in front of Ning. There is no such thing of my liking this or not liking that. I like both my son and my daughter-in-law. I care for both of them!”

Yi Xian doesn’t expect that his wife will be so excited. He is shocked. He is stunned for a few seconds and then he nods, “All right. All right. I say the wrong words. I am a dotard. I should not break the harmony of our family. I am sorry to you, to our family and to the Party and to the people...”

“Oops, you may shut up!” Zheng Yao rolls her eyes at him, “After Ning gets recovered, I am thinking of asking Rui and her to come home. We will have dinner together. We may start over again. Ah, what do you think?”

“Good. It is good, of course. I agree.” Yi Xian nods seriously.

Son, your father’s strategy works.
