Heyday Love: A Heaven-sent Husband

Chapter 49 I Like You

Her head aches as if it is crushed. Li Baoer frowns and strokes her head. She opens her eyes slowly.

The room is normally equipped with typical hotel design. A man sits by her side and is looking at her with his bright eyes.

Man?!

Li Baoer suddenly gets back her consciousness and jumps up from the bed. But she is so dizzy that she falls to the bed again.

“Your head is hurt. You need to rest.”

The man speaks. His voice sounds nice. He wears an army green shirt. Seemingly it is provided by the Military Region. He is about thirty years old, good-looking and bright.

Li Baoer looks at him for quite a while. She is puzzled with a lot of questions.

Who is this? Why is he here?

And why is she in the hotel?

As if he knows what Li Baoer is thinking, the man speaks, “My name is Dai Zhongheng. Major General Yi is my commander. He told me to save you and take you here.”

Saying this, Dai Zhongheng stands up and brings a cup of warm water to her, “You were faint for a whole day. Drink some water.”

Li Baoer gets the water and stares at Dai Zhongheng blankly.

Dai Zhongheng...The name sounds familiar, as if she has heard it somewhere before...

Oh! She remembers.

“Are you Colonel Dai, son of General Dai Zhen?” Li Baoer asks.

Dai Zhongheng nods, “Yes. You have a good memory.”

Wow, the man standing in front of her is a Colonel! Army men are all so handsome!

In an instant, Li Baoer widens her eyes to be as big as apricots. She drinks a mouthful of water and passes it to Dai Zhongheng, “Thank you.”

Dai Zhongheng takes the cup and puts it aside, “Your hurt is treated. It is not serious. But to coordinate with Army Commander Yi’s arrangement, we don’t send you to hospital temporarily. Sorry to make you go through this.”

The word “sorry” moves Li Baoer. She shakes her head, “It is all right.”

Wait, the Army Commander Yi’s arrangement?

Oh, she called Xia Ning. Then she was hit and fell into a faint. Vaguely she heard some noises, and someone carried her away...

Carried away...

Thinking of this, Li Baoer blushes. She looks at Dai Zhongheng, “Is it you who carried me here?”

Not expecting that Li Baoer will ask this question frankly, Dai Zhongheng hesitates for a while, “It was urgent and we didn’t have time. Considering that you were injured, I had to carry you and leave there. Sorry.”

Li Baoer blinks her eyes. God, to be carried by such a handsome man, what can she ask for？Sorry is not needed for that.

“Am I heavy?”

Dai Zhongheng lifts his eyebrows, “No, you are not heavy.” What a strange question the woman is asking!

“Ah.” Li Baoer giggles. She looks at Dai Zhongheng with flirting eyes.

Dai Zhongheng feels that the air turns cold. He stands up and wants to have some fresh air by the window. But once he stands up, one of his hands is caught.

“Colonel Dai, would you please answer me a question honestly?”

Looking at Li Baoer’s earnest eyes, Dai Zhongheng senses that something bad is happening.

“Hum...I am listening.”

“Do you have a girlfriend?”

“Ha!” The frank question from Li Baoer gives Dai Zhongheng the feeling that he has been watched. “Why?”

“Well...” Li Baoer strokes her head softly, “I, I am just curious.”

Damn! She feels her face is hot. She is getting shy!

“I always stay in the army. I don’t have time for romance.” Dai Zhongheng says frankly and pushes her hands away.

As if she hears a clap of thunder from the sky, Li Baoer is shocked and gets blank there.

She is refused...

Her heart aches, badly...

Li Baoer lowers her head and curls her lips. She pinches the quilt and glances from time to time at the tall man standing by the window.

She likes this man. She really likes him.

She is refused, but she cannot simply give up!

Can’t let the duck by the mouth fly away.

Thinking of this, Li Baoer takes a deep breath. She says seriously, “Colonel Dai. I have something to tell you.”

As if there is something horrible behind him, Dai Zhongheng feels that his fine hairs stand up. Actually, no need to hear, he can guess generally what she is going to say.”

“Miss Li. Your head is injured. You need to rest.” Damn. What a task Yi Yunrui threw to him!

“I am fine.” Li Baoer encourages herself. Refusal will not defeat her, “Colonel Dai, my name is Li Baoer. I am twenty-seven. My parents are both workers. Though I am not young and don’t have a rich family, I like you. I hope Colonel Dai can give me a chance to try. Will you?

Facing Li Baoer’s confession, Dai Zhongheng can feel the embarrassment on his face.

This kind of confession usually comes from a man, doesn’t it?

In an instant, he finds that he is put on the place of a woman. Dai Zhongheng is shocked and confused.

He suddenly understands what “the higher officer getting the say” means. Even if he knew what would happen, he couldn’t refuse the task from Yi Yunrui.

Having been in the army so long, he has conducted big and small tasks and commanded many battles. He was always decisive. But now, his heart is in a mess.

His long fingers knock at the window. He knows he doesn’t like her. But at this moment, he cannot speak the word “No”.

Li Baoer is silent. Though he doesn’t face her, he can feel her desire and intenseness.

If he says no, she will hurt.

If he says yes, he will hurt.

He is hesitating when he remembers his mother’s sad face. His heart tightens.

“Some mistakes cannot be fixed...”

Dai Zhongheng’s eyes turn serious and he looks cold. He turns to Li Baoer and stares at her, “The person I like is not you. So, sorry.”

Dai Zhongheng lowers his head and walks out of the room once finishing the words.

Li Baoer is left alone in the big room...

Twenty minutes later, Yi Xian gets back to Yi Villa. He sees his angry wife sitting in the living room. Yin Jingyao is sitting by her and comforting her. Yi Xian’s face tightens.

Seeing Yi Xian, Yin Jingyao politely greets, “Uncle Yi.”

Yi Xian nods and smiles, “Jingyao, why are you here today? Aren’t you busy in the army?”

Aware of the implication of Yi Xian’s words, Yi Jingyao is a little embarrassed, “I am not busy today. So, I come here to see Aunt.”

“Xian, come here. Look what Xia Ning has done!” Zheng Yao says and beats the table heavily.

Yi Xian glances at the photos on the table and frowns. He sits down and looks at them carefully.

For quite a while, his face doesn’t show any changes. He puts down the photos and lifts his eyes to glance at his wife. Then, he asks Yin Jingyao, “What are those in the photos?”

“What are those?!” Being shocked by what her husband says, Zheng Yao raises her voice by eight degrees, “Xian, are you blind? That woman is your dear daughter-in-law, Xia Ning!”
