Chapter 406 A Fair Competition
“Do other things?” Zhang Hai blinks his eyes, “Commander, do you make new arrangements for me?”
“You like Jing Shu very much.”
Yi Yunrui says directly. Zhang Hai feels shocked with shyness, “Commander, don’t say that, I feel shy.”
“You spend all your time every day on the computer and those numbers. If you go on like this, you won’t be able to find a wife. Now, you met a nice girl. You can consider about that.”
“...Commander, men should put the nation in priority. The romance issue can wait.” Based on his title, even if he gets married, his wife can’t go with him when he goes back to the army. He will feel sorry for his wife.
Yi Yunrui understands the meaning in Zhang Hai’s words. He gently smiles, “Jing Shu is of black belt phase 2. She is good. You can practice with her. She will make rapid progress.”
“I practice with her...” Zhang Hai has not finished his words when he remembers something. He says, “Oh. I see. I understand what you mean. Commander, do you want me to protect Mrs. Yi with her together?”
Yi Yunrui smiles, but he doesn’t reply.
Since Zhang Hai likes Jing Shu, he would give them more time to get along with each other. On the other hand, with Zhang Hai and Jing Shu staying by Xia Ning, he feels much more unworried.
“However, Commander, if I am not going with you, what about your trip to Beijing?” He is pleased with the commander’s arrangement. But the commander’s trip to Beijing is very dangerous. He is worried about him.
“It is fine. I have my plan.” Since Zhang Hai won’t be around, he will ask his father to arrange someone for him.
That is the old commander following his father for decades, Jiang Dahai.
The next morning, Xia Ning goes to Li Baoer’s house to help her for the makeup and dressing. Because of Zhenzhen, Dai Zhongheng and Li Baoer only invite the most familiar people and their best friends to their wedding. So, there won’t be a lot of guests.
Dai Zhongheng and Li Baoer dated on and off in the past years. Now, they finally arrive at marriage.
On the wedding ceremony, Li Baoer’s mother is so glad that tears blur her eyes. She fails to control that. She keeps blaming herself for being so sentimental on her daughter’s wedding. But she can’t stop tearing. In the end, the mother and the daughter hug together while their husbands stand behind to comfort them.
Actually, these are happy tears. They feel so happy. It is simply impossible for them to restrain themselves. Baoer’s family is poor. What her mother worries most is the daughter’s marriage. She sees her daughter marrying a good husband. Her wish of the last twenty years has come true. She feels really glad for her daughter.
Everyone understands. So, few go to stop them. Anyway, the disturbance takes a lot of strength from Baoer. The mother and the daughter are held by their husbands respectively and take a rest for quite a while before the wedding ceremony continues.
After a series of complicated procedures, Baoer finally sits down to eat food. Dai Zhongheng is still toasting the guests outside. As a matter of fact, he is protecting his wife, so that his wife can take a break.
“Mom. Eat more. Or, you will be hungry.” Zhenzhen says. She picks a drum stick for Li Baoer.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLi Baoer nods. She takes the drum stick and starts biting at once.
Xia Ning who is sitting beside her teases, “Didn’t you say that you were going to lose some weight?”
“Yes. I did say so.” Li Baoer’s mouth is full, but she still speaks clearly, “But I have to eat now. I have to eat enough. It is fine. I am gladder if I can eat more.”
Hearing this, Xia Ning feels confused, “Do you want to put on weight?”
Li Baoer shakes her head. She gets closer to Xia Ning and whispers, “I am pregnant.”
“What?” Xia Ning widens her eyes in surprise. She turns to look at Baoer’s belly, “How long has it been?”
“The doctor says it has been forty days.” Li Baoer strokes her belly sweetly, “So, I may delay the losing weight plan. I can’t make my baby hungry. Baby, tell mom whatever you want to have. I will surely get it for you.”
Xia Ning twitches her eyebrows. She seems to see the image of Baoer as fat as a ball...
“Baoer.” Xia Ning asks in a low voice, “Does Colonel Dai know it?”
Li Baoer nods, “He went to the hospital with me for inspection. He knows.”
Xia Ning gives a sigh in her heart. The wife is pregnant while the husband has to go away. They really have a lot to overcome.
“Sister Xia, don’t worry. I will take care of mom and my younger sister.” As if she is aware of the worry in Xia Ning’s heart, Zhenzhen says decisively.
Xia Ning’s eyes soften. She strokes Zhenzhen’s head, “You are a good kid.”
Xia Ning knows that Zhenzhen really can do that. To be honest, compared with Baoer, Zhenzhen is better at taking care of someone else. The little girl has experienced a lot and becomes more and more mature.
“Ning, you have been married with Commander Yi for many years. When are you going to have a baby?” Li Baoer asks.
Xia Ning blushes, “Oh... we are planning it.”
Li Baoer understands. She says naughtily, “You should prepare some nutritious food for Commander Yi. Ha. Ha...”
Xia Ning’s face turns redder. She pats on Li Baoer, “Shy. You bad girl.”
At the time, Dai Zhongheng, Yi Yunrui and Yi Yunyi come back, all with a red face. Seemingly, they were forced to drink quite a lot of wine.
They have just sat down when Dai Zhongheng forcefully kisses Baoer on her face. He asks, “Sweetie, are you tired?”
“Wow. My god. You are sickening!” Gu Ruoruo cries at once. She was confident with her ability in drinking and stayed with Yi Yunyi to help her future husband drink quite a lot of wine.
“Is it?” Yi Yunyi who is standing by her takes the chance to hug her and kisses her on her face, too. He says, “Baby, your husband is more sickening.”
Gu Ruoruo blushes. She puts her head on Yi Yunyi’s chest and hits him with her soft fists.
Everyone around laughs.
“Seemingly, my commander is the real gentleman. Ahem.” Zhang Hai says “proudly”.
Zhang Hai is telling two contradictory meanings by his words. Those who are not familiar with them will agree with Zhang Hai, while those who are familiar with them will understand that he is indirectly challenging his commander. He means that the commander doesn’t love his wife as much as the other two men.
Yi Yunrui puts on a mild smile. He turns to Xia Ning and asks word by word, “Sweetheart, how many times do you want to have sex tonight?”
“Wow!”
“My god!”
“That’s really bold!”
People around cry. Xia Ning’s face turns as red as a ripe tomato. She lowers her head, “What are you talking!”
“Ha. Ha. Ha!” Yi Yunrui laughs brightly. He turns to Zhang Hai, “Zhang, you haven’t succeeded in finding a wife. Don’t waste your gun. Come on!”
“Ahem!” Zhang Hai is choked by wine. He feels helpless. Seemingly, the commander is drunk today...
Leng Weiwei and Gu Luan sit on another place. They are both silent, which looks completely different from the others in the hall.
“Director, why don’t you go to express your congratulations?”
“I did.” Gu Luan puts down the glass, “I will go back to the company in some days. Weiwei, you must be very busy during the time.”
“It is all right. I am not the only one. Xia Ning and Wan Liqing help a lot, too.”
Hearing the words Wan Liqing, Gu Luan slightly frowns, “Wan Liqing hasn’t given up?”
Leng Weiwei gives a sigh, “She has been liking you for so long a time. How can she easily give up? Anyway, she does things too desperately. As a friend of you, Luan, I think you’d better stay away from her. Or, you can make her drop the idea as soon as possible.”
“I will.” Gu Luan stares at the woman not far away, “You and Xia Ning are my best subordinates. One day, either of you may take my position. At that time, I hope you two can still get along with each other peacefully as you do now.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Do you mean that you are going to give Xia Ning a promotion soon?”
Gu Luan thinks for a while. Then, he nods, “The company needs to have talented people. I hope you two can have a fair competition.”
Leng Weiwei purses her lips, “Luan, those who don’t want to become a commander are not good soldiers. I will compete with Xia Ning. I am superior to Xia Ning in experience while Xia Ning is superior to me in the background. But as to popularity, I am inferior to Xia Ning both in and out of the company. The director of World Era Weekly is not an easy job. I know my capability.”
Gu Luan gently smiles. He turns to look at Leng Weiwei meaningfully, “I will take what you mentioned into consideration. The problem is, Weiwei, you really underestimate yourself. To be objective, I think you are more suitable than Ning in the aspects of experience, connections and background.”
Hearing this, Leng Weiwei slightly freezes her face. But she returns to normal very soon, “Excuse me. I don’t understand.”
“Don’t understand? Or, you may say you don’t want to admit.”
“What?”
“Don’t tell me that Yi Yuntian, the eldest son of Yi family is just a friend to you.”
Leng Weiwei feels shocked. She turns her face away, “Yes. He and I are really just friends. Luan, you make a mistake.”
Gu Luan lifts his eyebrows. He smiles coldly. He looks at the room not far away where people are noisily happy. He feels something waving at the bottom of his heart.
Xia Ning, Ruoruo, and Weiwei all have relation with the Yi family.
The woman he loves most, his sister, and his best subordinate all belong to the Yi family!
It makes him...unhappy!
“It has been so many years and they finally get married today. As a mother, I finally feel a great relief. Mr. Dai, my daughter is a little short-tempered. I am afraid that you may need to bear with her in the future.” Li Baoer’s mother sits at the same table with Mr. Dai Zhen. When she sees the happy scene in the room, she can’t help saying to Mr. Dai Zhen.
The entrepreneur looks strict. He seldom speaks. To be honest, she feels quite afraid of him. Today is a special day. She feels so happy that she can’t restrain herself from talking to him.
He always feels guilty in his heart. He seldom talks with his son. However, today, his son gets married. Mr. Dai Zhen feels very happy. He puts on a smile on his emotionless face and responds, “Baoer is frank and active. With her around, Heng will have a wonderful life. Honestly, I should say thanks to you, Mrs. Li.”
Hearing his words, Li Baoer’s mother gives a sigh of relief. Based on Mr. Dai Zhen’s words, she believes that Baoer will have a happy life in the Dai family.
So, the three old people talk about family life and some things alike. They are happy and have more to talk about.
“Ah. I will have a grandchild in eight months. I am thinking about teaching my active daughter how to raise a child. Mr. Dai, what’s your opinion?”
Mr. Dai Zhen slightly hesitates, “Grandchild...”
Before Dai Zhongheng was born, he seldom asked about that. In eight months, he will become a grandfather. At the moment, Mr. Dai Zhen feels quite panic.
He owes too many people much, including Heng and her...
Should the mistakes committed by the last generation continue...
