Chapter 521 The Crush
Actually, not many men enjoyed tomatoes.
But if the tomatoes were cooked by his darling, that would be a totally different story.
So, Yi Yunrui enjoyed the noodles. He finished them off, including the soup.
The two empty bowls gave Xia Ning much sense of achievement. Rice was the staple of Yi Yunrui’s diets. Noodles or other staples were always his second choice. However, he finished all the noodles and the soup, which proved that the dishes she cooked were to his taste.
But what Xia Ning didn’t know was that Yi Yunrui would finish off whatever she cooked for him.
While stroking her swollen belly, Xia Ning was slurping some tea, which really fulfilled her.
“How about taking a stroll in the living room? Or going for a blow on the balcony?”
Xia Ning agreed with her husband’s idea, nodding, “OK.”
She had hypoglycemia, which made her weak. Although she might have to bear the baby through cesarean in the future, more aerobic exercise was good for both the mother and the child.
After walking around the living room with his wife for a while, they wended their way to the balcony. The night grew late and the twilight had turned to a deep blackness. At the moment, a stiff breeze rustled the trees. Not apart from them, the neon lights flashed in turn, peaceful and warm.
“Dear, which one do you prefer, day or night?” For no reason, Xia Ning asked that.
Yi Yunrui grinned and put his arms around her, replying, “Time is not the thing that matters, but you are.”
The words pleased Xia Ning. With Yi Yunrui around, she was the happiest woman in the world.
After getting some air, enjoying the night scene, and having some snacks, they got drowsy. Xia Ning opened her mouth, yawning.
“Let’s turn in.”
“What about you?”
“Not now. I’ll go to bed after finis.h.i.+ng the work.”
Xia Ning pressed her lips, feeling sorry for her husband as he was still busy with his work. But she knew that her husband was a soldier and everything he did was to protect the country, so she decided not to stand in his way, saying, “Remember to go to sleep after finis.h.i.+ng the work.”
“OK, I will.” With this, Yi Yunrui scooped his wife in his arms and walked into the bedroom.
“I can walk.” Xia Ning blushed a bit, clenching her husband’s neck.
“I love hugging you.” With that, Yi Yunrui put his wife on the bed, covered her with a silky quilt, and pecked his wife on the forehead, saying affectionately, “Go to sleep. It’s almost three and you gotta go to work tomorrow.”
Xia Ning yawned again, nodding, “Dear, don’t stay up too late.”
Yi Yunrui nodded, holding his little wife’s hand and sitting on the bed for a while. After she fell asleep, he gently turned off the light, left the door ajar, and returned to the study.
After Yi Yunrui closed the door of the study, the gentleness on his face immediately died. It was almost time. He had to give Masahiro s.h.i.+zuka a reply.
Three hours had pa.s.sed and the clock was ticking. To Yi Yunrui’s surprise, Masahiro s.h.i.+zuka did not contact him at the appointed time. Yi Yunrui narrowed his eyes and smiled. And then he stood up, walking to the kitchen with the coffee in his hand.
“Masahiro s.h.i.+zuka, was this your att.i.tude?” Yi Yunrui thought.
“Good, you would soon have to pay for your pride and arrogance!”
Leng Weiwei finished another can of beer and tossed it away. With a clang, the beer can was thrown far away.
With a bang, Leng Weiwei opened another can of beer and dug into it, ignoring all the empty cans on the ground.
Though she could well hold her liquor, she seldom drank a lot. Tonight, she was in a bad mood and disliked the noisy bars, so she bought several dozens of beers and planned to hold a party at home.
After a few gulps, she felt her stomach twitching. Leng Weiwei immediately put down the can and hurried to the toilet.
She opened the toilet lid, puking her guts out. Her stomach was churning and she kept throwing up for a long while. Only when her stomach seemed empty and there was nothing left in it except the smell of alcohol did Leng Weiwei press the flush key, leaning on the wall and was.h.i.+ng her hands and face.
It seemed that she barely ate anything before drinking…
The icy water sobered Leng Weiwei up. After a long break in the toilet, she rose to her feet and shuffled to the hall.
“So, you’re running yourself down like this?”
A familiar man’s voice came from the hall, which startled Leng Weiwei. She halted and found that a man was sitting on the couch in the living room, who was das.h.i.+ng and irresistible.
The man was Yi Yuntian.
Leng Weiwei took a look at the door. It seemed that she never gave Yi Yuntian the key. However, Yi Yuntian could always enter her room without any difficulty.
Sensing what was in her mind, Yi Yuntian scowled, “You think you can block me with a door?”
After giving him an angry stare, Leng Weiwei slumped on the couch and grabbed the half bottle of beer, preparing to down it.
But suddenly, with a swis.h.i.+ng sound, the beer in Leng Weiwei’s hand was grabbed over by Yi Yuntian. And then he immediately dug into it and soon finished it up.
Yi Yuntian slightly frowned, crus.h.i.+ng the beer can with his big hand. Seeing that Leng Weiwei was about to grab another can of beer, Yi Yuntian s.n.a.t.c.hed it, snapping, “That’s enough.”
Leng Weiwei cast a stern glance at Yi Yuntian and reached out her hands, wanting to take back the beer. But no matter how hard she tried, she could not get it back, which p.i.s.sed her off, “Give it to me!”
“You’ve had enough drinks tonight!” Actually, Yi Yuntian had always kept a poker face in any situation. But Leng Weiwei’s behaviors tonight really rattled his cage.
If Leng Weiwei were the woman he met before, he would be amused. But as she was Leng Weiwei, he blew up!
He also felt that it was strange, but he was quite mad!
“It’s none of your f*cking business! Give me back my beer!” Leng Weiwei roared and tried to grab the beer in Yi Yuntian’s hand again. But after failing several times, she turned to s.n.a.t.c.h the beer on the ground.
“You deaf?” With a slap, Yi Yuntian knocked away the beer in Leng Weiwei’s hand. Yi Yuntian had to admit that he had never been this angry in decades!
Leng Weiwei freaked out, “Yi Yuntian, who do you think you are? What makes you think you can supervise me? You’ve got nothing but rotten money! You think money is everything? I’m not a prost.i.tute or someone you can summon as you wis.h.!.+ Give me the beer! Now… Hey, what are you doing?”
Before Leng Weiwei finished her words, she felt that she rose up and was carried by Yi Yuntian. It startled her and she began to struggle, trying to beat Yi Yuntian.
“Let go of me! You b*st*rd! You hear me? Let go!” Leng Weiwei snapped. Seeing that Yi Yuntian pulled a long face and did not reply to her at all, she got furious and bit Yi Yuntian’s chest!
Feeling the pain in the chest, Yi Yuntian winced and quickened his pace. After arriving at Leng Weiwei’s door, he kicked the door open, hurried to the bed, and flung Leng Weiwei onto the bed.
“Ah!” Leng Weiwei felt like falling from the sky, which made her dazzled and a wave of nausea swept over her.
With a bang, Yi Yuntian turned on the light and stared at Leng Weiwei who was covering her belly with her hands and puffing for breath on the bed.
“I’ll make you hot tea! Stay right here!” With that, Yi Yuntian turned to make some hot tea and clean the bloodstain on his chest.
But no sooner had he walked away than he felt a breeze behind him. He halted subconsciously and someone hugged him in the back before he could make any reactions.
“Don’t go…”
A soft and imploring voice came from behind, which jerked Yi Yuntian!
“Don’t go… Don’t leave me alone…” Leng Weiwei’s voice trembled. She latched on to his back. It seemed that she feared the man in front of him would run away.
Yi Yuntian looked down at Leng Weiwei’s pretty hands, feeling quite sorry for her.
She said she didn’t want him to leave her alone. Did she mean she had such experiences before?
He pictured a scene in his mind that Leng Weiwei was alone and helpless, and it saddened him a lot.
Who was so heartless?
“There, there. I’ll always be with you.” Yi Yuntian sighed and held Leng Weiwei’s hands. And then he turned around and held her close in his arms, saying, “You are drunk. I’ll make some hot tea for you. Now lie on the bed and wait for me…”
“No! Stay with me!” As she was drunk and was hurled onto the bed just now, Leng Weiwei now felt dazzled and cold. Fear clutched at her heart. She didn’t want to be alone! Not for a single second!
Leng Weiwei held him very close. Yi Yuntian knitted his brows, feeling that it was impossible for her to let go of him in such a situation. Many women adored him and quite a lot of them tried to seduce him by getting drunk deliberately. Leng Weiwei’s trick was pretty old school. If it were in the past, Yi Yuntian would not even take a look at a woman he had no feelings for even if she lay naked on the bed.
But now…
His heart sunk and heartache clutched at his heart. He was a master of love and the trick Leng Weiwei used to seduce him was actually tactless. However, now he didn’t think that she was seducing her. Instead, he rejoiced.
Leng Weiwei, who had always been a cold fish, actually appeared this tender in front of him.
Though she had always pretended to be so tough and cold, he finally got to see this side of her today.
Women should be like this, right?
“Fine, I’ll stay. I’ll stay.” He pressed her head onto his chest and rested his head on hers. While patting her on the back, Yi Yuntian coaxed her in a low voice, “OK. I won’t leave. I’ll stay here with you.”
Hearing that, Leng Weiwei closed her eyes and dropped her disguises. Now she seemed like an amenable kitten nestling against Yi Yuntian’s chest, whispering, “Yi Yuntian… Yi… Yuntian…”
Yi Yuntian’s thin lips slightly curled. Holding the girl in his arms at the moment, Yi Yuntian himself might not know how tender he looked.
Feeling that her breath got steady, Yi Yuntian knew that she would soon fall asleep. He gently picked her up and slowly put her onto her bed. After admiring her peaceful face for such a while, Yi Yuntian felt that his heart was racing.
It was the long-lost feeling of a crush…
