Chapter 323 Baby, I Find You.
Leon feels confused to hear what his father said.
Does his father want to visit China with him? Did he mishear?
In addition, his father is over ninety years old. If anything happens to him…
“I want to meet your friends.”
“Hum?” His father speaks in a very low voice. Leon doesn’t hear him.
The old Duke puts the photos into the golden box. He strokes it as a precious, “It is all right. You may go out.”
“Yes, Father.” Leon responds. He turns around to go out and closes the door lightly behind.
Father looks really strange.
When the door is closed, Widdison gives a long sigh and the solemnness on his face disappears.
He takes out a gold pocket watch and looks at it carefully. He can’t get tired of looking at the girl in the photo, not for the whole life.
However, it is a pity that he was not lucky enough.
He and she spent only thirty years happily together. He doesn’t know how he survived the other dozens of years. During the time of over forty years, he felt as if he lived in hell. He couldn’t find any interests of life.
“Le’er,” His eyes which seems to have experienced a lot of misfortunes, puts on a sincere tenderness when he sees the girl in the photo, “I always complained that why you didn’t take me with you when you left…Now, seemingly, you still wanted me to do something.”
Widdison gives a sigh again. He takes out the photos from the box, “Le’er, look, I have found her.”
Xia Ning spends two whole weeks to get prepared before she decides to leave for Beijing.
Actually, she has called Tang Qieying’s assistant and made the appointment one month ago. Tang Qieying is an internationally important person. She must have a very tight agenda. To be honest, when she called, Xia Ning was afraid that she might not be able to successfully make the appointment.
Luckily, Tang Qieying showed some respect to World Era Weekly and set the exclusive interview in next week.
To avoid changes, Xia Ning arrives in Beijing much earlier.
She finds a business hotel for accommodation and plans the agenda for the next ten days in advance.
She will tell Yi Yunrui all about where she has been and what she has eaten and seen.
In the other evening, Zhang Hai told her that the messages had been sent to Yi Yunrui. She still felt unsure of that. The next morning, she received Yi Yunrui’s call.
Though it lasted only for one minute, she felt satisfied to hear his voice.
At least, her loved husband was safe.
And, he really received her message.
He said, “It still needs some time to finish. However, it is going to be over soon. Wait for me patiently. And, miss me every day.”
Yeah, she misses him every day.
Xia Ning organizes her luggage and puts on casual clothes. She wants to walk around Wangfujing Street, which is the most famous commercial street in Beijing.
Wangfujing Street has a history of about a thousand years. There are many antique stores there. However, Xia Ning is most interested in the snacks there.
She eats Noodles with Soy Bean Paste as lunch.
She takes a photo of her eating noodles and sends it directly to Zhang Hai.
Ha. She eats the noodles and imagines that Yi Yunrui is eating with her together.
Supper can’t be too casual. Rui won’t want her to eat a casual supper.
Therefore, she plans to have her supper in the Roman Garden inside the Wangfujing Hotel.
She likes western food very much, especially French dishes.
So, she generously orders a set of French dishes for herself. It is authentic and classical.
The whole table is occupied by dishes.
It attracts the attention of many rich people around.
Ha. In their opinions, she must stand for the inelegant rich people.
Or, she may set the sample of a luxurious arrogant rich pattern.
No matter what, all she does is to make Yi Yunrui feel unworried.
Xia Ning walks around Wangfujing hotel alone. When it is past ten, she feels a little tired. Then, she goes into the Tang Bar.
She plans to spend a week travelling around Beijing.
The atmosphere in the bar is good. It is not noisy and people don’t speak loudly. She can carry a glass of wine and quietly enjoy the scenery of Beijing at night.
She orders a bottle of Glenfiddich and drinks alone.
Is she going to send the photo of her in the bar to her loved husband?
Xia Ning is hesitating.
“Pretty, don’t you feel bored to drink alone?”
Xia Ning feels surprised to hear a familiar voice.
She turns around and unbelievably looks at the elegant man standing in front of her. After quite a while, Xia Ning pushes forwards some words, “Shouldn’t you stay in the hospital?”
It is Lei Buyang.
Maybe because of the wound, Lei Buyang wears a brown shirt and a pair of big sunglasses.
He looks almost the same as when Xia Ning met him for the first time. He also wore a pair of big sunglasses at that time.
“It is too boring in the hospital with no women. So, I came out.” Lei Buyang sits down by Xia Ning. He takes up Xia Ning’s wine and pours a glass of it for himself.
“Wait.” Xia Ning stops him, “You have just got recovered. Don’t drink much.”
Lei Buyang smiles. He gently pushes her hand away, “It is fine. I won’t die of it.”
Lei Buyang drinks up the wine in a mouthful and adds another half glass of it. Xia Ning can’t help looking at his chest.
Has he really recovered?
“It is Whisky of thirty years. Good! I didn’t know that Ning knew how to enjoy life.” Lei Buyang pours some wine for himself again.
“Well. President Lei, can you drink slowly? You are wasting the wine to drink in this way.” She is not worried about the cost. She feels sorry for the wine!
Lei Buyang hesitates. He smiles, “Right. Wine is to be tasted slowly. I may slow down. Oh…You don’t understand. I stayed in the hospital for more than half a month. I felt really bored of it. It had no women or wine there. Ah…”
Xia Ning sips the wine, “Health is the base of happiness. Without a healthy body, you can’t enjoy any pretty women or wine.”
“Hum. Yes. Ning, you are right. I may take it slowly.”
“I feel curious. Every time when I met you, you had some pretty women with you. Why are you alone today?”
Lei Buyang puts down the glass and cautiously glances around. Then, he leans to Xia Ning and says by her ear, “I have just got recovered. I can take fierce actions. So, temporarily, I am a decent man.”
“Ahem!” Xia Ning almost gets choked. Her face turns a little red. She responds, “Hum. You know it. Good.”
“Ha. I have to keep my reputation. Or, if those women say that I am bad at having sex, my future will be ruined.”
Xia Ning twitches her lips. She remembers something. She asks, “Well. Why do you come to Beijing? Are you following me?”
Lei Buyang hesitates when he hears her words. He makes some coughs, “Yes. You are right.”
Xia Ning widens her eyes, “President Lei, you may eat recklessly, but you can’t speak irrationally!”
“Ning, you agreed that you would call me Buyang, or Bubu, or Yangyang.”
Xia Ning feels a lot of lambs (sounds the same as Yang in Chinese) popping up in her brain.
“…Yang, well…I come to Beijing for work.”
Lei Buyang blinks his eyes. Yang sounds a little strange. However, since Ning agrees to change the addressing, he feels quite satisfied.
“I come to Beijing to look for my true love.”
Xia Ning puts on an awkward expression on her face.
Lei Buyang finishes the wine in his glass and adds another half glass of it. He gently shakes the glittering and transparent glass, “Ning, I know your husband is in Beijing.”
Xia Ning feels her heart tightened, “Yeah. He is in Beijing. Then, what else do you know?”
In front of a capable man, she can’t hide the secret.
Lei Buyang shrugs his shoulders, “That’s all I know.”
Xia Ning doubtfully looks at Lei Buyang. Seriously, that is all he knows?
Suddenly, Lei Buyang turns to look serious. He looks at Xia Ning, “Ning, your eldest brother-in-law is here. I wonder whether I need to go away.”
Xia Ning feels surprised. Does Yi Yuntian come?
Xia Ning has not collected herself when a clear crash is heard. A transparent crystal glass is put down and a charming fragrance is smelt. An attractive man sits down beside her on the high chair.
Xia Ning hears a lot of breaths around.
“Ning.”
A lazy voice is heard. Xia Ning turns to Yi Yuntian, “Brother, I happened to meet Yang here…”
“No. It is a romantic encounter.” Lei Buyang deliberately pronounces the last two words forcefully.
Xia Ning twitches her eyebrows.
Is he worsening the situation or making a deliberate fuss?
“No. Brother, don’t believe his nonsense.”
“President Yi, I dated Ning here. Ha. How can there be so many coincidences?” Lei Buyang says and drops a flirting glance at Xia Ning.
Xia Ning grits her teeth to restrain herself from giving a punch at Lei Buyang.
Compared with the tense atmosphere, Yi Yuntian keeps his typical mild smile on his face. He takes Xia Ning’s wine and pours a small glass of it for himself. He drinks slowly.
The slow sip attracts many women around.
“I know that President Lei has been trying to surpass my youngest brother for a long time.”
Yi Yuntian says casually. The words are as mean as what he always said. Lei Buyang twitches his lips to hear them.
“Puff!” Xia Ning can’t help bursting into laughter.
Her brother-in-law is right. Lei Buyang does seem to be doing so.
Lei Buyang fixes his clothes. He tries again, “The problem is that your youngest brother is not here now. As it is said, the nearest balcony will see the moon first…”
“Your balcony is a broken one. It needs to be repaired.”
Lei Buyang’s smile freezes at once.
Xia Ning slightly turns her face away to forcefully stop herself from laughing.
“Crash.”
Lei Buyang heavily puts down the glass, “You two go against me together. It is unfair!”
“Ha. Ha…” Xia Ning fails to control herself.
Yi Yuntian still mildly smiles. He has finished the wine in the glass.
He winks at the bartender. Soon, the bartender sends them another bottle of Glenfiddich.
Lei Buyang looks at Yi Yuntian resentfully. He pours a full glass of wine for himself, “It is your treat!”
“Fine.” Yi Yuntian responds.
Then, they stare at each other and drink. Xia Ning sits between them. She feels that she can hear the fighting of thunder and stone. To stay with two awesomely excellent men who are fighting with their eyes, she feels a great sense of pressure.
The fighting goes on for quite a while. When the second bottle of wine is almost finished, Yi Yuntian puts down the glass and says slowly, “Lei Buyang, why don’t we look for some fun?”
