Heyday Love: A Heaven-sent Husband

Chapter 43: Cut Him A Break

When Xia Ning sees that Yi Yunrui brings a colorful fruits plate, she is stunned.

When does her house have so many fruits?

And the talent of Commander Yi really well proves that he has been in the cookhouse squad...

What is more important, all the fruits on the plate are her favorite!

Strawberries, wax apples, red delicious apples, mangos, pluots (a new fruit, sweet with juice) and grapes.

It seems that in order to make this fruits plate, Commander Yi has put his heart there.

Xia Ning is puzzled. She thinks for a while and looks at Yi Yunrui, “Is this fruits plate... for me?”

“Of course.” Yi Yunrui puts a piece of wax apple on her hand, “I bought them when you were sleeping. They are fresh. Have a taste.”

Xia Ning feels warm. She takes a bite. It is very fresh.

Then, Xia Ning’s phone rings. It is from Ou Yixuan.

Yi Yunrui frowns and suddenly understands what the words “lingering on as ghosts” mean.

“I will get it.” Xia Ning presses the key, “Hello Director Ou.”

“...Hi.”

It sounds that the speaker is low, Xia Ning turns serious, “Why? What’s up?”

“President Li and I... are in front of your door. Would you please open the door?”

Xia Ning is shocked. The apartment is always quiet, but today, it is visited by many big names.

“Oh.” Xia Ning responds and hangs up.

“What is it?” Yi Yunrui sees her confusion and asks.

“Director Ou and President Li are outside the door.”

Yi Yunrui freezes his face and nods, “I will go for the door.”

Saying this, Yi Yunrui walks to open the door.

Finding Yi Yunrui open the door himself, the two men outside the door can’t react properly. Yi Yunrui doesn’t say anything but goes back to the house.

As hit by a cold nail, Ou Yixuan and President Li glance at each other. President Li enters the house with a full smile.

As she sees the visitor come in, Xia Ning is going to prepare the tea but is stopped by Yi Yunrui.

President Li is just going to speak, while Yi Yunrui says in a cold voice, “President Li, Director Ou, please speak directly. Save the polite formula.”

The two are stunned and smiles embarrassedly. They sit down.

“Well.” Li Dezheng speaks first, “Commander Yi, it is my fault that I didn’t know Miss Xia is your wife. So, there are some misunderstandings. Would Commander Yi forgive me and cut me a break?”

Yi Yunrui glances at him, but he says to Ou Yixuan, “Director Ou, why are you here?”

Ou Yixuan doesn’t expect that Yi Yunrui will ask him. He is stunned, “Well, I am here to see Xia Ning. She worked hard these days...”

“You saw her working hard, but you just stood there and watched. Didn’t you? Yi Yunrui interrupts coldly.

Xia Ning, sitting by him, feels her heart aching.

Yi Yunrui is right. Standing there and watching...is what Ou Yixuan always doing. She realizes it till now.

Hearing this, Ou Yixuan’s face turns red and pale. He tries hard to squeeze a smile, “It is my fault. It is my fault. I will mind it in the future.”

“Future?” Yi Yunrui lifts his eyebrows slightly, “Ning has been fired by you. You don’t have any future with her!”

Saying this, Yi Yunrui reaches out to hold Xia Ning’s hands tightly.

Yi Yunrui refers to two things in the words. Ou Yixuan’s heart aches and his face turns pale in an instant!

Seeing this situation, Li Dezheng wants to help him by saying, “Commander Yi, it is our fault. So, Director Ou and I come here today to apologize. We hope Miss Xia can forgive us and give us a chance to atone for it.”

Li Dezheng turns the topic to Xia Ning. Xia Ning is going to say something when she notices her hand is held more tightly with more strength.

“The problem will be handled as it should be. As regard to the issue mentioned in the exclusive interview report, if President Li did not do it, Ning is the person who must apologize.”

What Yi Yunrui said hits the crucial point of Li Dezheng. In the period of primitive accumulation of capital, which boss didn’t do something secretly? Who can be innocent?

Li Dezheng’s smile is frozen, “Commander Yi, are...are you making fun of me? I am here to apologize...”

Yi Yunrui smiles coldly and did not respond.

“Ning.” Ou Yixuan speaks, “It was my fault in the past. I apologize for that. But we are talking about business. I hope you can understand.”

Hearing this, Xia Ning’s face turns serious. Is Ou Yixuan thinking that she is emotionally making use of Yi Yunrui to take revenge on him?

“Nothing happened between you and me in the past!” She was blind, blind for eight years.

Ou Yi Xuan is stunned and doesn’t understand why Xia Ning says the heartless words. He doesn’t know how to respond.

“Director Ou.” Yi Yunrui says in a cold voice, “You are married. Be mature. I am clear about one point. If you wanted Ning to quit, you should have fired her directly. Why did you use President Li’s exclusive interview as an excuse?”

What Yi Yunrui said directly puts the problem to Ou Yixuan’s responsibility. Li Dezheng’s eyes turn serious and his face is dark with anger.

“It is not like that.” Seeing that it doesn’t head for the right direction, Ou Yixuan is a little anxious, “The relation between Ning and I is in the past tense. Commander Yi, you also know that I am married. This is not the thing we are talking about. I am not someone who combines private problems with business issues.”

“You have a lot of opportunities to fire Ning. Why you had to fire her in the President Li issue? “Seemingly you knew she is my wife and could not find a proper reason to find her, did you?”

“I...” Ou Yixuan is clear that Yi Yunrui is trying to put more conflicts into the problem, but there are so many issues in a mess, and he is unable to clarify them at the moment.

“Does the existence of Ning make it difficult for you to face your wife?”

“No. Jingsi won’t care about it. There is no such thing.”

“If it is not because of your wife, why did you have to fire Ning in front of so many people?”

Ou Yixuan feels he is stuck and suddenly realizes that he has fallen into the snare set by Yi Yunrui!

“As a matter of fact,” Yi Yunrui says slowly, “everyone knows the truth of many things. As regard to why you fired Ning, the public have their judgement. Ning is badly hurt this time. It seems that Director Ou shall take the main responsibility for that.”

“I know. I am sorry for Ning...”

“Mind your words.” Yi Yunrui interrupts, “Don’t forget that you are married. You are the son-in-law of the mayor. Ning is not the daughter of the mayor. It is nothing if she is wronged.” Saying this, Yi Yunrui pats gently on the back of Xia Ning’s hand, “Director Ou doesn’t need to bother yourself with Ning’s problem. After all, Ning is also married, and her husband is me.”

Ou Yixuan’s looks more embarrassed. Yi Yunrui is warning him that he must not flatter himself with Xia Ning’s love.

After marrying the daughter of the mayor, whatever he did went on smoothly. He had a hard life when he was a child. He thought that he would be satisfied at the moment that he married Yin Jingsi, because he had got his dream realized. Xia Ning would be a passenger of his life finally.

But when he knew that Xia Ning was with Yi Yunrui, his heart ached so badly that he could not control himself.

“Sir,” After being silent for quite a while, Li Dezheng speaks, “in fact, I am here today to ask you to cut me a break.”
