Heyday Love: A Heaven-sent Husband-Chapter 567 - Walk Properly

Chapter 567 - Walk Properly

Yi Yunrui says nothing but stands at the door with a serious face.

Her husband seems to be mad for real.

Xia Ning hurries to finish her business. After quickly brushing her teeth and washing her face, she walks up to Yi Yunrui and bows down with respect, “Mr. Commander, I’m so sorry. Please give me a second chance.”

“A second chance?” Yi Yunrui raises his eyebrow, “Show me how you walk.”

Does her husband want to see her walking? His gaze makes her feel uncertain and also a bit afraid.

Apart from her biological family, Yi Yunrui cares for her the most in this world. He never wants to be strict with her. But this time, Commander Yi seems to be serious.

She was just being rushed for fear of being late. Her husband is taking this too far, isn’t he?

“Stand upright! Stand quietly!” Suddenly, Yi Yunrui shouts. Xia Ning freezes as if she were under a spell.

“Forward, march!”

With “march”, Xia Ning raises her arm and leg, taking one step.

Hang on. What is she doing here? A drill?

“Dear, I’m not your soldier, and I’ll never be. Please spare me this time. I’m late for my work. And you are also in a hurry getting to the military region, right?”

“Cut the nonsense! Show me how you walk normally!”

Xia Ning twitches the corner of her mouth. Her husband, who has been gentle and kind, says that she is talking nonsense…

Pursing her lips, Xia Ning raises her leg and marches back and forth in a bad mood.

“Like this?”

“…” If his soldiers were like his wife, he would get rid of them in no time, “Your step is too large. Cut one-third of it! Lower your leg when you walk to forty-five degrees. Walk more slowly. Be aware of the slippery road.”

God, Yi Yunrui touches his forehead, which hurts slightly. He has good patience, but he is thinking about kicking his wife for her gesture and attitude.

Seeing that his wife cannot walk as he wishes, Yi Yunrui finally sighs and says with a gentle voice, “Dear, you are only pregnant for three months or so. There are still six months to go. The way you walked just now is really… Alas!”

He is having a heart attack!

It is more thrilling than marching in the volleys of gunfire.

Xia Ning’s heart softens when she saw her husband being speechless yet worried. She hugs her husband by the waist and says in a coquettish manner, “Dear, I swear I’ll be careful next time. Don’t worry. It’s our baby, and I’m its mom. I’ll take care of myself. I promise you that I won’t do this again.”

Yi Yunrui cannot get tough with his wife when he meets her gentle eyes, even if his heart is as cold as stone. He touches his wife’s forehead gently, “Alright. I trust you, dear. I hope you keep your words.”

His words imply that her husband is taking a step back. Xia Ning lifts the corner of her mouth and smiles proudly, “Definitely! However, the clock is ticking. May I just speed up a little bit? Otherwise, I’ll be really late.”

Yi Yunrui is speechless.

What did she just promise? She breaks her promise before she barely finishes it.

How cute and annoying his wife is!

Thanks to Zhang Hai’s strong driving skills, Xia Ning gets back to the media building just on time.

When Xia Ning gets off, she sees Jing Shu, who has just arrived.

“Sister Xia!” Jing Shu runs over and bows towards Xia Ning, “So sorry. I’ve got something, and thus I am a bit late. Sister Xia, could you forgive me this time? I promise I’ll never do this again.”

“Silly girl!” Xia Ning says smilingly, “You are not late. Why did you apologize to me?”

“As the chief assistant to the chief editor of World Era Weekly, I need to outperform everyone in every aspect and take more responsibility. I know you are a kind person, Sister Xia. Please don’t take it easy on me. Otherwise, I might start to grow a bad working attitude. ”

Xia Ning pauses and feels confused that everyone she met today tries to meet a high standard. She knows that her husband has always been principled. But now Jing Shu does the same. She seems to be the least principled person now.

“Heh!” Clearing her throat, Xia Ning nods condescendingly, “Alright. Keep your words, or say goodbye to your bonus. Got it?”

Jing Shu sticks out her eyes and lowers her head, “Yes! I’ll never do this again!”

Xia Ning turns to look at her husband. Yi Yunrui nods, “I’ll pick you up after work.”

“Okay.” Xia Ning walks into the media building. She suddenly thinks of what her husband said and slows down her pace.

Yi Yunrui sees the minor change in his wife and lifts the corner of his mouth. He turns to Zhang Hai and says, “Drive.”

“Yes, boss!” Zhang Hai answers. He takes a peek at the rearview mirror when he starts the engine and finds Jing Shu looking at him with a stupid face.

Zhang Hai feels his heart twitch at the pair of bright eyes as if it is stabbed hard by a knife. He gasps hard out of pain.

He only sees Jing Shu as a little sister. Why does he feel pain?

Anyway. He is seeing Christine and should be satisfied. He should leave other women behind.

Gritting his teeth, Zhang Hai hits the gas and speeds the car away.

Clenching her fists, Jing Shu purses her lips. Zhang Hai has visited the hospital frequently these days. Her intuition tells her that his heart belongs to another woman now.

“Shu.”

Called by her name, Jing Shu is brought back to reality. She turns around and finds Sister Xia. Surprisingly, she says, “Sister Xia, why are you still here?”

“My chief assistant is still here. How dare I go in?”

This girl has been unhappy for these days and lost her soul at the sight of Zhang Hai. But Zhang Hai seems to avoid her intentionally. They do not appear to be on the same page.

Zhang Hai and Jing Shu were like bros previously. What has happened these days?

“I’m sorry.”

“Quit apologizing. You did nothing wrong. Why apologizing the whole day?” Patting on Jing Shu’s shoulder, Xia Ning turns around and says, “Let’s get inside.”

“Yep.”

Undeniably, after a few days’ training with Beitang Xiu, Jing Shu has greatly improved her coffee-making skills.

Coffee-making is a tricky task. The coffee will taste differently if any single detail is different.

Xia Ning feels honored to enjoy some first-class coffee at the office.

Apart from the market price for such coffee, her assistant’s kindness is enough to move her.

“Shu, is it tiring to learn skills from Mr. Beitang?”

Jing Shu shakes her head without hesitation, “Not at all!” She even feels excited.

Jing Shu’s reply does not sound like flattery. Xia Ning smiles, “Really? Don’t lie to me. If you find it tired, I can permit you to arrive late.”

“That’ll be too much!” Jing Shu widens her eyes with surprise, “It was because of a small car accident on the road with two cars colliding with each other, which blocked the traffic. I’ll leave there earlier next time.”

Xia Ning has heard about this morning’s car accident, “It was unexpected. You don’t have to leave early. That’ll be disrespectful and impolite to Mr. Beitang.”

Jing Shu purses her lips, “Ok, I see.”

Xia Ning puts down her coffee and tenses up her expression, “Shu, take a seat. I have something to ask you. You have to be honest with me, yeah?”

“Okay!” Jing Shu nods and sits down in front of Xia Ning, “Sister Xia, please go ahead.”

“Two questions. You may answer them one by one. First, do you do other work in the coffee shop, such as wiping the tables, apart from learning the skills?” Xia Ning reminds Jing Shu before she talks, “Be honest. I’ll check it later. If there’s something unmatched, I’ll have to be strict with you.”

“Sister Xia, I thought the same as you initially that we should learn things from the basics. But Mr. Beitang not only spares me from the chores, but he also said something realistic earlier today.”

“What?”

“I was there ahead of the time when people in the coffee shop were cleaning. I was about to help when Mr. Beitang turned up. He pulled me aside and said to me that that was part of their job and why he hired them if I took over.”

Xia Ning raises her eyebrow. What Beitang Xiu said is sharp and dark.

There is too much hidden information.

Beitang Xiu sees the waiters in the coffee shop with strict labor division and class differences. Some are, at best, random workers. If they fail in their work of chores or need someone else’s substitution, he does not want them to be here.

For sure, it can also indicate another thing.

Beitang Xiu is protecting Jing Shu from other people’s jealousy.

Sometimes being helpful is not always good. Some twisted people may think that you hate them and want to take their job away.

“Mr. Beitang’s words make sense.”

“Yes. But it took me a while to figure it out. Haha, I’m foolish, Sister Xia.”

Xia Ning lifts the corner of her mouth, “Did anyone say that you were so cute?”

Jing Shu pauses and smiles, “Only my mom. Other people are scared when they see my combat skills.”

“Their loss.” Xia Ning pats on Jing Shu’s hand, “Shu, follow Mr. Beitang closely. He is nice to you.”

Jing Shu nods, “I know. All the people I’ve encountered are good.”

Yes, all of them are good. Xia Ning says to herself in her heart.

The same goes for her.

She is really grateful that she has met so many friendly people who care about her.

“The second question.” Xia Ning pauses and says slowly, “What’s wrong with you and Zhang Hai?”
