Chapter 164 A Knot in the Heart
Not expecting that Luo Zhen will speak out frankly, Xia Ning is stunned. Then, she laughs.
Luo Zhen is foolishly cute.
“Luo Zhen!” Dai Zhongheng widens his eyes. If not because Xia Ning is here, he will give Luo Zhen a kick, “What’s wrong with you guy!”
“Ah? What? I said wrong words again?” Luo Zhen strokes his head and glances at Yi Yunrui. Yi Yunrui is silent, but he lifts his lips. Luo Zhen says: “Look, Commander Yi is fine with that. Dai Two, why do you scold me?”
Hearing the words “Dai Two”, Xia Ning can’t help laughing happily.
Two…Dai Two…it sounds so funny.
Seeing that Xia Ning laughs so happily, Yi Yunrui also gets relaxed. He looks at the two men running and roughhousing behind and suddenly wonders whether he has ignored something in these ten years.
With Luo Zhen and Dai Zhongheng along, it feels that the way back to the ward is not so long. However, when they see the angry madam of Yi Family, Zheng Yao, standing downstairs, Luo Zhen and Dai Zhongheng at once restrain their naughty attitudes.
“Mom.” Yi Yunrui greets. He sees that Zheng Yao wants to speak and he interrupts: “Mom, if you have anything to say, we may discuss after I get recovered. OK?”
Zheng Yao is shocked. Yi Yunrui’s words make her speechless so she takes a deep breath and glances at Xia Ning.
Xia Ning lowers her head and says: “Mom, sorry. It is all my fault. I won’t be so reckless again.”
“You also know that you are reckless…” Xia Ning might better not mention it. Zheng Yao hears her words and bursts into a fury.
“Yao, Rui has just finished the operation. Our daughter-in-law is also tired to get here from so far away. We may leave them alone to deal with their problems. Don’t comment now.” Not waiting for his wife to finish her words, Yi Xian interrupts in time and he gently pats on her back.
Since her husband said so, Zheng Yao doesn’t want to say anything else. She gives a sigh and turns to enter the ward.
Seeing the blood on the ground, Zheng Yao clenches her fists tightly. She restrains her anger inside.
Just now, after Xia Ning ran out of the ward, Yi Yunrui at once pulled off the needle and ran after her, regardless of his own wounds after the operation. Though Zheng Yao went after him at once, but she failed to find him after a corner.
Why are young people so impulsive?
Yi Yunrui is helped to lie down on the bed carefully and the doctor and nurse come in a hurry. They send Yi Yunrui into the medical care room and have a careful check on him from head to toe.
The others stand outside and wait. Seeing that everyone is very nervous and anxious, Xia Ning feels that she is an outsider in an instant.
After quite a while, Yi Yunrui is sent out. Xia Ning hasn’t moved her feet when all the people have got around Yi Yunrui. Xia Ning stands outside and looks quietly at Yi Yunrui’s being sent back to the VIP ward.
Xia Ning’s heart is aching. She clenches her fists tightly and restrains the tears in her eyes from flowing out.
She promised her parents that even if she would be left alone, she would smile and live on!
The doctor tells the condition of Yi Yunrui in detail. Everyone listens to the doctor carefully. Xia Ning bites her lips and stealthily looks at Yi Yunrui.
She finds that Yi Yunrui is looking at her.
Xia Ning blushes all of a sudden. She hurriedly turns around and her heart beats violently.
Finally, everything is settled down. Yi Xian leaves with Zheng Yao. Dai Zhongheng draws Luo Zhen to leave with him. Xia Ning and Yi Yunrui are left alone in the ward.
“Sweetheart, come here.” Yi Yunrui waves his hand at Xia Ning, “Don’t you come? Well, I will go to you.”
“Don’t!” Xia Ning goes to Yi Yunrui at once and holds his hand.
“Sit here.” Yi Yunrui slightly gives some force and Xia Ning reluctantly sits by him.
Xia Ning curls her lips: “Well…Do you want to have a rest.”
Yi Yunrui puts Xia Ning’s hand on his chest and gives a long sigh: “The bed is big enough. You can lie down. Are you tired after flying here?”
Xia Ning blushes. She looks outside: “Darling, we are in the hospital.”
“So what?” Yi Yunrui looks firm. Before Xia Ning collects herself, Yi Yunrui holds her into his embrace.
“Ah!” Xia Ning cries and she lies by his side and is hugged tightly by him.
“Don’t move. My wound hurts.” Yi Yunrui says in a low voice. Xia Ning gets quiet at once. He feels satisfied and closes his eyes: “I haven’t embraced you in this way for many days. Stay with me and have some sleep. Will you?”
Xia Ning feels her heart melted. She nods.
She hears that Yi Yunrui’s breath getting more and more stable and realizes that he has fallen asleep.
He must be exhausted just now to have the 100-meter dash right after the operation.
Xia Ning gives a sigh and carefully she gets his hand away. She is just going to sit up when Yi Yunrui embraces her again tightly.
Xia Ning blinks her eyes, wondering whether Commander Yi is really sleeping.
She waves her hand in front of him and he gives no reaction. It seems that he falls asleep again.
They are so close to each other. Xia Ning looks at Yi Yunrui by the side. This man is undeniably handsome.
Thin lips, firm face and long eyelashes… unconsciously, Xia Ning holds out her finger and draws his face in the air.
As her finger draws, she keeps the lines in mind slowly.
This face, this embrace and this love used to belong to her.
She has been married to Yi Yunrui for two years and she is very happy. She believes that this memory can last for the whole life of her.
Xia Ning feels very sad. Unconsciously tears blur her eyes. Xia Ning gives a sigh and leans her head on Yi Yunrui’s chest.
She wants to have more before this love disappears.
She knows that all her life, she won’t be able to open her mind to anyone else except Yi Yunrui…
“Old man, why did you stop me from saying it out?” Zheng Yao is angry, “Well, I know she is unhappy. She is jealous. What a temper! If Rui gets along with her in this way in the future, he will have to suffer from a lot of anger.”
Yi Xian lifts his eyebrows. As a matter of fact, he has suffered from a lot of anger of Zheng Yao…
“Ahem.” Yi Xian clears his throat and says, “Yao, didn’t we discuss before? Let the sons deal with their problems themselves. We ‘d better not get involved. Did you see how anxious Rui was just now? You were blaming Ning. How can he bear that? We may lose our face for that.”
“Ah. Old man, are you partial to her?” Zheng Yao puts her hands on her waist, “Even if we lose our face, we are her senior.”
“All right, all right. Don’t be angry.” Yi Xian strokes her back and says, “You know. Ning doesn’t have any family or relatives, but only Rui alone for her to rely on. She surely will attach all her attention to Rui. You may think her not good enough, but we don’t know how they get along with each other. You may think about it. In over ten years, have you ever seen Rui smile so happily?”
Reminded by Yi Xian, Zheng Yao doesn’t argue any longer.
Yi Xian is right. Rui left home with no words left ten years ago and seldom contacted his family for many years. Until eight years ago, he came back with all the honors. She had never seen women appearing by his side and he was always cool and silent, no matter who is around, as if he had made up his mind to stay single all his life.
She knows that Rui has a knot in his heart. Because of something that happened twenty years ago, he changed completely all of a sudden.
Even though she always believes that she did that correctly.
Until Xia Ning showed up, Rui began to have smiles on his face and gradually returned to normal.
To be honest, she feels grateful to Xia Ning. Normally speaking, now that the couple got along so well with each other, she should have had grandchild.
But two years passed and nothing happened in Xia Ning’s belly. She is very anxious. But Rui is very partial to his wife. Even though she is his mother, once she wants to discuss about Xia Ning, he will definitely turn to leave.
It is said that grown girls can’t be kept around and this son…Ah!
“Don’t think too much. Don’t you trust Rui? They are really getting along very well.” Yi Xian glances at his wife and can guess what she is thinking, “Do you want to have grandchild soon?”
It is guessed right. Zheng Yao nods: “Yes. You know, they have been married for over two years and there is still no news about that.”
Yi Xian gives a sigh. Actually, as an army man, how can’t he understand what his son is concerned about, “Yao, you have to understand the army men.”
What Yi Xian says suddenly hits the weakest part of Zheng Yao’s heart. They are old army man and woman. For tens of years, the old man fought with his life and he always thought of her. They also thought of having children at that time. But he was bitterer than her about some things.
Thinking of this, Zheng Yao holds her husband’s wrinkled hand and leans to his chest: “Old man, you don’t need to explain. I will listen to you.”
“Good. Good.” Yi Xian gently pats on his wife’s back. He smiles and his eyes become two lines, “As long as the kids are happy, as to grandchildren, Yao, we can wait…”
Because of Zheng Yao’s insistence, Yi Yunrui stays in the hospital for some more days for further inspection. During the time, Xia Ning keeps staying around to take care of him. Even when he goes to the toilet, she calls him from time to time, being afraid that something might happen to him.
What Xia Ning does to Yi Yunrui seems to make amends to the bad impression left to Zheng Yao and Zheng Yao doesn’t complain about her any longer.
“Why do you…turn off your phone all the time?
Yi Yunrui takes up Xia Ning’s phone and is going to turn it on. Xia Ning changes her color and rushes to him hurriedly and grabs the phone from him. She glances at Yi Yunrui’s confused look and smiles: “I asked for leave these days to look after you. I don’t want to be distracted by work. Don’t turn on the phone. Once it is turned on, there must be a lot of people calling me. I want to stay quietly with you.”
Yi Yunrui thinks for a while, saying: “OK. Then, we are not turning on the phone.”
Xia Ning gives a sigh of relief.
The time Yin Jingsi said has passed. Now, Yi Yunrui is still in the hospital. Once they go back to C City and get contact with people there, she is going to be ready to face Yin Jing’s “welcome”.
She knows that Yin Jingsi is not going to give her a break easily.
