Heyday Love: A Heaven-sent Husband

Chapter 463 I Am Your Cousin!

Xia Ning feels that Steward Zhou is implying something in his words. She wants to ask for clarification. But Steward Zhou has turned around and leaves.

Go to have a walk in the garden?

“Ning, what are you thinking?” Li Baoer drinks the warm milk. She passes a plum to Xia Ning, “The plums are tasty. Try one.”

Xia Ning takes over the plum. She bites it. It is sour and sweet. It is really tasty.

She has been pregnant for a month. She suffered morning sickness at the beginning. However, she barely feels uncomfortable now. She doesn’t have any special reactions. She even doesn’t seem to like eating sour food. Maybe, because too many things happen in this month and she even doesn’t have any time to be concerned about her body.

Xia Ning glimpses that most of the food inside Zhenzhen’s backpack are plums. She considers that she may need to prepare some plums at home.

Li Baoer is a talkative person. She becomes more talkative after she is pregnant. She chews the plums and speaks with a lisp, “Ning, Wan Liqing has taken over the entertainment department. I suffered quite some of her anger. Luckily, the holiday is coming in a month. I may stand her for another month. Ah... Ning, you should come back soon. The company is seriously messed up by her.”

“Is Chief Editor Leng absent? How can it be so bad?”

“Weiwei?” Li Baoer widens her eyes, “You don’t know. Weiwei is busier than anyone else. She is rarely seen in the company all day long. Wan Liqing regards herself as the senior of the company. Everyone has to pay attention to her favor. Those who confronted her were all fired. Now, everyone feels it oppressive to work in the company.”

“Is anyone in the entertainment department fired?”

“When Wan Liqing took over her position, what she cleared up first is the entertainment department. She fired some people. In the end, we supervisors realized that it was wrong and tried our best to resist. Then, Wan Liqing restrained herself a little. Ning, now, everyone is looking forward to your coming back.”

Xia Ning tightly frowns. Wan Liqing is taking personal revenge at work. That is not allowed.

However, Xia Ning hasn’t finished handling her cases. She was “suspended from her duty” by Leng Weiwei. It is unsuitable for her to interfere. So, she can’t do anything though she is anxious about that.

In addition, even after she finished her cases, as the president of Junhao Group, it is inconvenient for her to go back to World Era Weekly.

It is really tough!

When they are talking, Steward Zhou sends them supper. There are ten dishes and a soup. That is a real feast.

Since Li Baoer and Xia Ning are both pregnant, the dishes for supper are mainly sour and sweet. Li Baoer has a good appetite and eats a lot. Xia Ning has something in her mind. She forces herself to eat more, but she doesn’t have any appetite at all.

She remembers what Steward Zhou said before. She decides to have a walk in the garden after supper.

Xia Ning looks out through the window. The sun is going down and everything is surrounded by golden color. Summer is coming after spring and the temperature gradually goes up.

Li Baoer eats quite some fruit after dinner. Xia Ning looks at her belly and imagines that in a few months, Li Boer will become double in her size.

“I heard that a woman would get at least twenty-five kilos heavier during pregnancy. Baoer, it seems that you will get at least fifty kilos...”

“Ah!” Not waiting for Xia Ning to finish her words, Li Baoer spits out the apple. She widens her eyes, “Fif... Fifty kilos?”

“Hum.” Xia Ning nods. She looks at her body shape and says, “Anyway, it is good to get heavier. We may be worried if we don’t get heavier. After we give birth to the baby, our body shape will return to normal. Baoer, don’t worry, you may feel free to eat.”

Li Baoer looks at the apple in her hand. She looks worried. Fifty kilos. She is going to become a super fat woman!

She wonders whether Dai Zhongheng will be scared to run away after he comes back and sees how she looks...

Thinking about this, Li Baoer takes a cold breath. She drops down the apple in her hand, “No. I don’t want to get 50 kilos heavier! I don’t want to become a super fat woman! 25 kilos will do. God. What can I do if Zhongheng abandons me? No. I can’t eat more. I can’t eat any longer!”

“You super fool.” Xia Ning puts the apple back to her hand, “You don’t want to eat. But your baby does! You are going to be a mom and you have to think about your baby. Don’t worry about how fat you will become. You should eat when you need. It will be fine as long as you also take some exercises.”

Li Baoer purses her mouth. She curls her lips and bites the apple, “If I go on eating so much, Zhongheng will abandon me...”

“Colonel Dai is not that kind of person! Don’t worry. I bet that the fatter you become, the more he likes you.”

Li Baoer brightens her eyes, “Really?”

“Colonel Dai loves you very much. A man who sincerely loves his wife won’t mind her body shape or weight. And you are pregnant. It is normal for you to get heavier.”

“Hum.” Li Baoer says and nods, “Yes. It is normal. To become fatter is normal.”

Li Baoer murmurs. Zhenzhen who is sitting beside her rolls her eyes.

If mom really gets so heavy, can dad still carry her up? It is not a matter of whether he can carry her up. What if dad is pressed by her and gets hurt?”

Xia Ning takes a bite of the orange. She wipes her hand and says, “Baoer, let’s have a walk in the garden. It will be helpful for digestion.”

Xia Ning feels surprised that when she goes downstairs, she doesn’t see her uncle and the other old generals in the living room.

Didn’t uncle say that he would like to catch up with his friends and have a drink? Where are they?

What is more surprising is that even Steward Zhou is out of her sight!

Xia Ning feels very confused. Then, she thinks that maybe her uncle is afraid that they may disturb her and Baoer, so they go to have dinner in somewhere else. Steward Zhou must be with them to serve the dinner.

Thinking about this, Xia Ning goes to have a walk with Baoer and Zhenzhen in the garden.

Spring is a season for flowers. But it is going into summer now. There are still flowers on the tress, but not as beautiful as before. Steward Zhou said that the flowers in the garden were beautiful. It doesn’t seem to be that beautiful.

Xia Ning takes some steps but she suddenly stops as if she finds something. She smells the air.

Is she making a mistake? Why does she smell the fresh fragrance of Yi Yunrui in the air?

Can Yi Yunrui be here?

Thinking about this, Xia Ning looks around the garden, wondering why Yi Yunrui hasn’t come back while it has been quite a few hours.

“Ning, what’s wrong?” Li Baoer is aware of Xia Ning’s strangeness and asks.

Xia Ning purses her lips, “It is Rui. It seems that he is here.”

Hearing this, Li Baoer widens her eyes. She looks carefully around the garden and responds, “No. I don’t see your husband. Ning, do you have an illusion?”

Xia Ning thinks for a while. She takes some more steps and carefully smells the air... It is strange. Yi Yunrui’s smell is getting more and more close!

At the bottom of her heart, she feels that Yi Yunrui is right here!

So, Xia Ning walks around the garden and looks carefully. Anyway, she doesn’t see Yi Yunrui at all after she has walked around several times.

She feels confused. She definitely smells Yi Yunrui...

“Ning, what are you looking for? You are not looking for your husband, are you? You fool, he will surely come out to meet you if he is here. How can he make you look around for him?”

Xia Ning stops. The more she thinks, the more confused she feels. She takes out her phone and dials Yi Yunrui’s number.

It gets through. However, it is not answered for quite a while.

Xia Ning puts the phone aside. She cries loudly, “Darling, I am counting to ten. If you don’t come out to meet me, I won’t have any late dinner tonight! One, two, three...”

Li Baoer stands there confusedly and looks at Xia Ning who is counting the numbers. She has a lot of questions in her brain.

“Nine...” Xia Ning pauses to take a deep breath. She shouts loudly, “Ten! Good. I won’t have any food tomorrow, either! That is it!”

Then, Xia Ning turns around and walks towards the house.

“Sweetheart!”

The familiar voice is heard from behind. When Li Baoer sees the strong body of Yi Yunrui, she opens her mouth in the widely in surprise. Xia Ning feels glad. However, she restrains herself from turning around. She asks, “Well. Do you feel me troublesome because of pregnancy? So, you simply dump me here?”

“No. That is not true.”

“Then, why didn’t you come to meet me when you came back?”

Yi Yunrui hesitates for a while. He goes to stand behind his wife. He holds out his hands and draws her body to himself, “Have you had supper?”

Xia Ning nods, “Don’t change the topic! Why did you hide yourself from me?”

Yi Yunrui looks embarrassed, “You finally got reunited with your uncle and he wanted you to stay here for some days. It was inconvenient for me to disturb...”

“That’s not the reason.” Xia Ning denies at once, “Even if I will stay here for some days, you don’t need to avoid me. If you don’t tell me honestly, I won’t have any meals in the following two days!”

“Sweetheart, please don’t be angry.” Yi Yunrui gives a sigh. He removes the leaves on her, “General Dai Zhen was still angry with me. He didn’t allow me to go in to meet you. I couldn’t but wait here. I will wait till he is not angry with me and then, I will be allowed to go in.”

That is the truth. It sounds reasonable. Xia Ning asks, “Why didn’t you call me?”

“Do you mean I could call you and tell you that your uncle didn’t allow me to go in to meet you? Ha. You silly. It will make you worried.”

Xia Ning blinks her eyes. It sounds correct.

Yi Yunrui is always like this. He bears everything by himself no matter what happens. He doesn’t tell her how much he suffers. He is afraid that she will feel worried and anxious.

Xia Ning feels her heart ache. She holds out her hand to stroke his face, “How long have you been standing here?”

“Not a long time. Don’t worry.”

He always tells her not to worry. Xia Ning purses her lips, “You haven’t had supper, have you? Come on in to eat some food.”

“Sweetheart.” Yi Yunrui slightly tightens his hands. He draws Xia Ning back, “I temporarily can’t go in. General Dai is angry. I may wait for another while.”

“Well. Excuse me, guys.” Li Baoer who is standing beside finally fails to restrain herself. She asks, “Commander Yi, do you say that my father-in-law is Ning’s uncle? Oh. Pardon? I don’t know if I mishear...”

“No. You don’t mishear. Dai Zhen is Ning’s uncle, biological uncle.”

Hearing this, Li Baoer feels so surprised that she is almost stunned. She asks, “Well. What’s going on? Why does my father-in-law suddenly become Ning’s uncle?”

Xia Ning finds Li Baoer confused. She tells her what happened just now in detail. Li Baoer hears the whole story. Her eyes turn reddish. She gently pats Xia Ning’s shoulder, “Ah. Ning, I really didn’t know that you had such a hard life... It is good that you get reunited with your uncle. Ha. Ha. It is surprising that my father-in-law is your uncle. I doubt who dares to be hard on you again! Wait!”

Suddenly, as if she remembers something, Li Baoer cries in a loud voice, “Since my father-in-law is your uncle, then, Zhongheng is your cousin and I am your cousin-in-law now!”
