Heyday Love: A Heaven-sent Husband

Chapter 91 I Don’t Want to Lose You Again.

“Three dishes and a soup. What do you think?” Putting down the cabbage with oyster sauce, Xia Ning wipes her hand and asks.

Yi Yunrui glances at the dishes on the table. There are steamed eggplant, tomato beef and cabbage with oyster sauce. He replies, “They look delicious.”

But...they seem to imply something...

“Come on. Let’s have dinner.” Xia Ning passes a bowl of rice to Yi Yunrui, “I am not good at cooking. Commander, please make do to have a taste.”

Yi Yunrui takes it over. He picks some vegetable and has a mouthful of rice.

Xia Ning observes him carefully for a while. But she finds nothing unusual on his face.

She is confused. According to what Mei Ruo said, Yi Yunrui doesn’t like these three vegetables. Why can’t she find any proofs for that?

It can’t tell from Yi Yunrui’s expression whether he likes them or not.

“Do you like the vegetables in the fridge?” Xia Ning asks tentatively.

Yi Yunrui nods, “Yes. I do.”

As long as they are bought by Xia Ning, he likes them.

“What about these three dishes today? Do you like them?”

“Yes.” Yi Yunrui nods heavily and puts a bunch of vegetable into his mouth.

Xia Ning is more confused. It seems that Yi Yunrui finds them tasty.

They have supper quietly. Yi Yunrui feels there must be something. He asks, “Did you go to the supermarket alone?”

“Hum. You were busy, so I went alone.” Xia Ning puts down the bowl and glances at Yi Yunrui, wondering if he is full.

Yi Yunrui ponders for a while, “Did you meet someone?”

Xia Ning curls her lips slightly. She looks at Yi Yunrui, “Actually, I have a question. I would like Darling you to answer me honestly.”

Hearing she call him Darling. Yi Yunrui is glad. He smiles and nods, “OK. Honestly.”

“Don’t say OK so soon.” Xia Ning waves her finger, “It is a hard question.”

Yi Yunrui is confused, “Sweetheart, what do you want to know? Ask me frankly. Don’t make me guess.”

“Good!” Xia Ning doesn’t throw the question at once. She pours a cup of water and puts it in front of Yi Yunrui, “What’s your relation with Mei Ruo? I mean in the past?”

Yi Yunrui is shocked blankly by the question.

Xia Ning looks at him and feels her heart frozen. She may guess it right more or less.

“Come, tell me the truth. What was your relation with her in the past?”

Yi Yunrui looks uncomfortable. He hesitates. He wants to speak and stops. He takes out a cigarette and lights it. He smokes slowly.

Though Xia Ning feels painful, she waits with patience. What she wants is an answer.

Yi Yunrui exhales the smoke and thinks for a while, “She and I...were what people called lovers.”

Xia Ning’s eyes tremble lightly and she doesn’t speak.

“I don’t know what I can say except that.”

“...” Xia Ning is shocked. She thought that Yi Yunrui might explain in detail. But it is only one sentence!

“Nothing else?”

Yi Yunrui thinks for a while, “Yes, but I can’t tell you now.”

Xia Ning’s heart aches, “Really, or don’t you want to say more?”

Yi Yunrui opens his mouth but he shakes his head, “There is nothing else except this.”

Xia Ning freezes her face, “Good. It seems that Commander Yi and Commissar Mei have quite a lot of secrets.”

Yi Yunrui senses her unusual tone. His heart tightens. He asks anxiously, “What happened? Why do you have to ask me about the past between her and me?”

“I met Mei Ruo in the supermarket today. She told me what you liked and what you disliked.” Xia Ning slowly says, “She also told me how you got along with each other in the past. Also, she told me how Yasi Villa got its name.”

When Yi Yunrui hears the last sentence, his face is frozen.

Xia Ning smile lightly. She sneers at herself, “Seemingly, Yasi Villa was the love house of Commissar Mei and you. Wasn’t it? I am sorry. I ruined it. And, you sold it in a hurry. Did you hide something by that? Were you escaping?”

“It is not like that.” When Yi Yunrui hears the word “escape”, he holds her hand, “Who told you that I sold Yasi Villa because I wanted to escape? What did I need to escape from?”

Xia Ning takes a deep breath to calm down her sadness, “There lied the happy memory of Mei Ruo and you. Were you afraid that it might remind you of that?” Xia Ning turns to Yi Yunrui and stares at him right into his eyes, “Actually, if you are still in love with her. You can tell me frankly. I am not that kind of women who can’t accept things. If you still love her. I will let you go...”

“Xia Ning, do you know what you are saying?” Not waiting for Xia Ning to finish her words, Yi Yunrui interrupts sharply, “I am now with you. It has nothing to do with Mei Ruo! Don’t be influenced by her. Will you?”

Xia Ning is sad, “At least, she knows what you like and what you dislike. I know nothing.”

“Xia Ning!” Aware of her sadness, Yi Yunrui’s heart aches. He holds her hand tightly, “I don’t mean to hide that from you. I am happy because I am with you, no matter what I eat. There is not anything I like or dislike.”

Xia Ning is shocked. She curls her lips. No, she still minds. She minds very much!

Mei Ruo is back and stays around Yi Yunrui every day. Her time with Yi Yunrui is more than Xia Ning. Today she finds out that their past relation was so close. How can she keep calm?

It is sure that Mei Ruo still loves Yi Yunrui. But she is not sure about what Yi Yunrui thinks.

“Why did you part? Were there any specific reasons?”

Yi Yunrui hesitates and suddenly feels that he can’t make it clear with explanations. He thinks for a while, “She was injured. I asked my brother to take her abroad for recovery. I was in danger during that time.”

Xia Ning’s heart gets heavy, “Are you saying that you did not break up officially?”

“I...” Yi Yunrui finds Xia Ning go into a blind alley. He pulls her back, “Sweetheart, it is not like that. I told you that Mei Ruo was my brother’s woman. Even we were close, she was the woman of my eldest brother!”

“Then, if Mei Ruo wasn’t your brother’s woman, would you two get together long ago?”

“...” Yi Yunrui is stuck. He doesn’t understand what Xia Ning means, “Sweetheart...”

“Stop.” Xia Ning feels her head aching. She covers her ears with her hands, “I don’t want to listen. Let it be. I am going to sleep.”

Xia Ning suddenly stands up and goes to the bedroom hurriedly. She closes the door tightly.

Seeing this, Yi Yunrui bursts into anger. He takes out his phone and dials some numbers. But he thinks again and stops. He puts the phone aside.

Yi Yunrui sits down, feeling that his brain is in a mess. What he worried about really happens.

There is one thing he can’t tell her clearly, because it is not the right time.

He did have a close relation with Mei Ruo, but it was not what other people thought!

Yasi Villa, actually was built by the three brothers. But he spent the most money. In the past, when they were free. They three brothers would come back for vacation. At that time, his eldest brother brought Mei Ruo. When Mei Ruo found that the big house didn’t have a name, she thought a name for it. The three brothers felt the name good and it was used.

The truth doesn’t sound so close.

As regards to cooking, Mei Ruo liked the villa very much and often came to have fun. The eldest brother also happened to have time. He was in the B City Military Region at that time. So, they got together to have dinner. Later, the eldest brother found Mei Ruo fell in love with Yi Yunrui and initiatively left.

It is right. When he was alone with Mei Ruo in Yasi Villa, he liked the girl. But he was very clear that he liked, not loved her!

However, when it is told and heard, the meaning tends to change completely!

Yi Yunrui strokes his forehead, wondering how he can explain clearly to Xia Ning. He thinks for quite a while with no solutions. To be honest, he is also surprised about Mei Ruo’s coming back.

It has been almost two years. Mei Ruo still hasn’t put him down. She could go to the headquarter of Military Region, but she chose him.

The toughest part is that no matter what he says, it doesn’t work. Because Mei Ruo is here!

Yi Yunrui thinks for a while but can’t figure out any solutions. He goes into the bathroom and takes a cold bath to calm himself down.

He has tried so hard to keep Xia Ning to stay with him. He can’t let her remember what happened before.

Absolutely not.

Xia Ning doesn’t know when she fell asleep. She remembers that when she woke up in the middle of the night, she was held by Yi Yunrui tightly. He was sleeping. Looking at his quiet and handsome face, her heart is tightened with frustration.

They have been getting along with each other for almost a year. She has fallen in love with him. If they really break up, she doesn’t know if she can let go.

Thinking of that she may need to let go, Xia Ning’s heart aches as if it is cut alive by a knife with blood pouring out. What a pain...she can hardly bear to imagine that.

It is surprising that when she parted from Ou Yixuan, she could smile with tears. But it is Yi Yunrui...

She feels her face cold. She is surprised. When she touches her face, she realizes that her face is wet with tears!

She is tearing.

She is tearing. She is tearing and she doesn’t know it.

Suddenly, Ou Yixuan’s words pop up in her head：in the end, she will be alone.

In the end...will she be alone by herself?

“Ning...”

When she is lost in the thought, she hears Yi Yunrui calling her. Xia Ning is shocked.

It has happened many times that she hears him calling her name when he is asleep. It is said that if someone calls a name in dreams, he must be thinking of and worried about the person he called.

Is Yi Yunrui often worried about her?

It is impossible...She has got along with him for one year only. Even Yin Jingyao has known him for a longer time.

Why does Yi Yunrui often have this kind of dreams?

His hand hugs her at the waist more tightly. Naturally, Xia Ning holds his hand and pats on it.

“Ning...I don’t want to lose you again...”
