Heyday Love: A Heaven-sent Husband

Chapter 141 Listen to Your Breath

“Dad, Rui is very busy. He sent me several messages these days. I don’t want to disturb him, so my replies are very simple.”

“Hum.” Yi Xian nods, “There are military exercises every year. The purpose is to test the fighting capability of the troops. This time, Rui commands the exercises in person. It seems that he is giving general guidance to the regional military department. He is really busy.”

Yi Xian’s speech is brief, but Xia Ning is shocked in surprise.

Giving guidance to the regional military department?

In an instant, Xia Ning’s heart beats violently and an unprecedented sense of pride rises in her heart.

“Dad, how many people are there in a regional military department?” Xia Ning tentatively asks.

“Those who can go to the military exercises are all troops of elites. They fight in regiments and there are quite some regiments in a regional military department. We can’t estimate the population. If you really want to know, as for military exercises, there may be tens of thousands of people.”

Xia Ning is shocked blankly. She knows the military exercises rule, the tens of thousands of people are all elites. It is not surprising that people use the word “legendary” to describe Yi Yunrui.

Iron-blood commander, cool and ruthless... all these were judgments for Yi Yunrui before she knew him. But after getting along with him, she has never found Yi Yunrui cool, ruthless or iron-blood.

Wait. If other people know that Yi Yunrui is nice at home, will his reputation be hurt?

She knows that Yi Yunrui’s tenderness and intenseness are for her only. Yi Yunrui changes a lot for her. It is really not easy.

So, she will work hard, too. At least, she needs to take up the expected responsibility of a wife.

“Ning?” Seeing Xia Ning is silent, Yi Xian says, “Don’t think too much. Dad knows Rui. No matter how many people there are in front of him, he is not going to change.”

Xia Ning is slightly confused. Seemingly, her father-in-law misunderstood her.

“No. Dad, you misunderstood me. To be honest, I feel I did poorly as a wife. I am thinking how to improve myself so that he doesn’t need to be burdened with me so much.”

“Well, you can have a baby to make Rui relieved.” Not waiting for Yi Xian to speak, Zheng Yao interrupts, “Ning, let me tell you a secret. Rui looks very serious. Actually, he likes children very much. You two may not delay. Go to have a baby. Anyway, you are going to have one sooner or later.”

Xia Ning hears to her and blushes. She lowers her head, wishing to have a hole for her to hide.

Having a baby...

The moon is shining in the night sky. Xia Ning stands at the balcony. It is past one in the midnight, but she can’t fall asleep.

The night wind blows her clothes and black hairs and brings a little cold.

It is the first time in over two years for her to be away from Yi Yunrui. She feels empty in her heart.

Xia Ning looks at the black sky far away. She misses Yi Yunrui very much.

She wonders what Yi Yunrui is doing at the time.

She holds her phone tightly and gives a sigh.

She wants to send him a message, but she is afraid that she may wake him up. At this time, is he sleeping?

She still remembers when they had just got married, she tried to get away from him every night. Now, he has just been away for one day, while she misses him so much.

Xia Ning can’t help laughing at herself. She looks at the screen of the phone.

She hasn’t received any messages from him. Xia Ning lies if she says that she isn’t worried about him.

She really wants to listen to his deep voice. Even one word will do.

“The most romantic thing I can imagine is to be getting old slowly with you...”

Her phone suddenly rings and scares Xia Ning. Her hands tremble. The phone is almost dropped.

Looking at the familiar name on the screen, Xia Ning is so happy that she almost jumps up. A call from Yi Yunrui!

Xia Ning’s heart beats rapidly all of a sudden. She takes several deep breaths to get her mood stabilized before she presses the answer button, “Darling, haven’t you gone to bed so late?”

“I can’t fall asleep. I want to hear your voice.”

Yi Yunrui’s deep voice sounds tired, which makes Xia Ning worried.

Unconsciously, she slightly lifts her lips and goes back to the bed, “Are you busy there? Take some rest if it is possible. Don’t be too tired. There are still more than twenty days to go.”

“Hum...”

Then, both Yi Yunrui and Xia Ning don’t speak and it gets quiet at once.

Xia Ning listens to Yi Yunrui’s breath quietly and feels very satisfied. Sometimes, it doesn’t need many words. It is nice to be quiet together like this.

“Sweetheart, it is late. You may go to sleep.”

After quite a while, Yi Yunrui speaks slowly.

“Hum, you may go to bed, too.” Xia Ning responds gently. However, she is reluctant to hang up.

Then they keep it like this for quite another while. Xia Ning laughs, “Why don’t you hang up?”

“I...want to listen to your breath.”

Xia Ning feels warm in her heart. She also wants to listen to his breath and fall asleep quietly.

“Sweetheart, don’t hang up. Keep it like this and let me feel your breath. Will you?”

Xia Ning slightly blushes and nods, “OK.”

Xia Ning puts the phone by her pillow and presses the loudspeaker button and then, she closes her eyes.

This feeling is very happy and sweet...

The secure feeling helps Xia Ning fall asleep with a sweet dream very soon.

Gu Ruoruo frowns, lying on the bed. She curls her lips and looks at her feet which are applied with medicine.

They are only scratches, not broken. Why can’t she walk on the ground?

No way. It is a rare chance for her to meet Yin Jingsi so closely. She can’t give up this opportunity!

No way!

Gu Ruoruo grits her teeth to move her body. She puts on the warm furry slippers and goes down to the floor.

Gu Ruoruo cautiously stands up and tries to take two steps.

“Si...” It hurts. It really hurts!

They are only scratches. How can they be so painful?

Gu Ruoruo collects herself and takes a deep breath. She takes another step.

It is said that the painful points can be got used to and then it can’t be felt any longer.

So, she wants to practice the philosophy really now!

She wants to feel all the pain in her feet once and for all.

She has got the whole night to get used to it.

Gu Ruoruo walks around the room. She feels so painful that she turns pale and she sweats on her forehead. She walks for a while and stops. But she feels that...it hurts more badly.

God. What’s wrong?

Gu Ruoruo pulls her trousers up and sees her wounds bleeding...

That’s why. The wounds are torn!

At the moment, Gu Ruoruo feels that she wants to cry.

If it goes on like this. It is impossible for her to go for the exclusive interview tomorrow.

Gu Ruoruo is very upset.

Wait. If she is given a local anaesthesia, she may be able to hold on for some time!

But the question is how she can get the anaesthetic?

Gu Ruoruo curls her lips. It is past one. She wonders if there are any doctors on duty in the hospital and can give some anaesthetic to her.

Thinking of this, Gu Ruoruo opens the door and wants to go downstairs.

“Where are you going?”
