Heyday Love: A Heaven-sent Husband - Chapter 537 - Sleeping in Separate Rooms

Zhang Hai contemplates, “I’ll consider your invitation if my boss doesn’t need me and I’m also available. But for your safety, I suggest you have some male companions next time you hang out.”

Christine purses her lips, “To be honest, we do have many male friends. But they seem to have base motives.”

Zhang Hai cannot help but glance over at Christine. He admits that men can easily be attracted to such a beautiful woman.

“Where do you live?”

Christine suggests that they should send An Lingxi back to her apartment first and then he can send her home.

Zhang Hai did not initially plan to enter the apartment, but he enters anyway as he sees that Christine has trouble carrying An Lingxi by herself.

Although the place where An Lingxi lives is rented, it is posh. Renting such a luxurious place in C City will cost a fortune.

An Lingxi seems to have a decent income to drive Ferrari and live in a luxurious apartment.

The decoration in the apartment is filled with charm, looking attractive, and there are hints that the homeowner should be knowledgeable.

Judged from the decoration, the woman who is drunk for the moment must be both pretty and intelligent.

Such a woman like her is the goddess in men’s eyes.

Christine takes some time and great effort to settle down An Lingxi.

“Puff…” Christine lets out a breath and wipes off the sweat on her forehead, “Sister An should go on a diet. She’s a bit heavy.”

Zhang Hai laughs, “You both don’t need to go on a diet. You are perfect for now.”

Christine’s eyes light up. She sits beside Zhang Hai, smiling, “I have a question for you. Don’t tell Sister An when she wakes up.”

“If it’s about your secrets, then…”

“No.” Christine tucks her hair behind her ears, “From a man’s perspective, would you prefer Sister An or me?”

Zhang Hai is surprised at her words.

How is he supposed to answer this question?

“It depends. Some men prefer her, and some like you. It’s hard to find a unified answer.”

“I don’t care about what other men think. I only want to hear your opinion.”

“…” Zhang Hai unconsciously swallows.

The light in this room is gentle. As he seats himself with a top beauty in such lights and faces such a question, the situation becomes romantic.

It is so romantic that he has a strange feeling.

Does the beauty like him?

Zhang Hai shakes his head at his thought. Impossible!

He has no money, no car, and no power. He only mans up a little when he is beside his boss. Otherwise, he is not a match for her.

The woman sitting next to him is good-looking and can attract many men.

She is the one who has the qualification to be picky!

As Christine is staring at him with anticipation, Zhang Hai hesitates for a few seconds before he starts to laugh.

“What’s wrong? Why are you laughing?”

“Nothing.” He thinks that girls like to emulate one another. They probably just want to hear people saying, “I’d prefer you.”

Since she longs for praise, he will do her this favor.

With eyes lighting up, Christine is happy at his words. She grabs Zhang Hai’s shoulder, “For real? You’re not lying?”

“…” Looking at the hands grabbing him, Zhang Hai blushes a little bit and retreats from her, “No. No.”

“Hahaha! I’m so happy! Finally, someone is saying I’m prettier than Sister An.”

Christine stands up, bouncing up and down happily.

Zhang Hai feels his eyebrow twitching as he thinks girls always act like this. She is so happy just for a simple compliment.

Hold on, she just says the term “finally”. Does it mean that all the other guys she has met like the drunk woman?

But the drunk woman does look more aggressive, making herself attractive to men. What Christine has said makes sense.

“So, we’ve finished our business here. I’ll drive you home since it’s already late.”

Christine nods, “Okay.”

Christine’s apartment is not far from An Lingxi’s. Hers is less posh but still not affordable for an average person.

Christine yawns when she gets off. She says to Zhang Hai, squinting, “Dude, I haven’t got your name yet. Would you mind telling me?”

“My name is Zhang Hai.”

“I’m Christine. And she’s An Lingxi.” Christine yawns again, “Dude, if you are not seeing someone, I’ll probably ask you out more often. At least before I’m settled down, would you mind bearing with me?”

“Yes, but…”

“I know. It’s only when your boss doesn’t need you. I got it. I’m so tired. I could use some sleep.”

Christine gets out of the car and waves at Zhang Hai, “See you, dude. Thank you so much for sending us home.”

Zhang Hai cannot help but look at Christine’s back when she is leaving. This woman is gorgeous.

Meanwhile, Zhang Hai’s phone rings. It is Jing Shu.

As if retrieving his heart from somewhere faraway, Zhang Hai organizes his mind and presses the button, “Shu, you’re still up?”

“I can’t sleep. It’s so boring, and I don’t know what to do… Zhang Hai, are you busy for now?”

Zhang Hai feels like his heart has stopped for a few seconds, “What?”

“What about you telling me a bedtime story?”

The corner of his mouth twitching, Zhang Hai touches his forehead, “How old are you? A bedtime story? I’m driving. I can’t do it for you. Please find yourself another way to go to sleep. See you.”

Before Jing Shu answers, Zhang Hai hangs up the phone.

It will be better if Jing Shu can grow more mature.

Zhang Hai checks the time and remembers that he still has something to do.

Christine calls him to ask his boss Yi Yunrui out. Yi Yunrui will not do that anyway, so he comes on behalf of his boss. Now that the business is finished, he needs to call his boss.

Xia Ning is sipping milk, seated and quietly looking at her husband making the bed.

Yi Yunrui tidies up the bed every time before they go to bed. She feels satisfied watching her husband.

She knows that everything Yi Yunrui does is for her, and she is used to being docile and waiting.

“All right.” Yi Yunrui pats on the bedsheet, “It’s time to go to bed, dear.”

Xia Ning nods. She sits beside Yi Yunrui with a sly smile, “My dear husband, let’s sleep together.”

Yi Yunrui’s eyes flick. He strokes her hair, “You tuck yourself in, and I’ll be right back after I’ve done the outside.”

“Ok.” Yi Yunrui checks everything inside their home before bed, such as whether the sockets and the gas are turned off.

Shortly after Yi Yunrui walks out, Xia Ning hears his phone ring. She gets concerned, thinking what can happen that leads to a late-night call.

She is about to get out of the bed when she sees a cloth is still on the cloth hanger. She walks over to take it back to the wardrobe.

As Xia Ning reaches the pocket, she finds something inside. She is surprised at what she sees when she takes it out.

It is An Lingxi’s business card!

Hang on, how can Yi Yunrui know An Lingxi?

Also, If Yi Yunrui knows An Lingxi, he will tell her, or he will at least check with her about An Lingxi.

But if he does not know her, why is the business card here?

The business card shows clearly that An Lingxi is working at World Era Weekly. Why does Yi Yunrui not say anything?

Is that because they are hiding something?

Yi Yunrui finishes his call and walks towards the bedroom. Xia Ning hurriedly tucks the business card back into the pocket and goes back to bed.

Yi Yunrui enters when she is lying down.

Seeing the panic on Xia Ning’s face, Yi Yunrui pauses. The corner of his mouth is lifted. He says, “What happened? You look like you’ve done something wrong.”

Thinking about An Lingxi’s business card, Xia Ning purses her lips.

She does not seem to be the one who has done something wrong here.

“No. I was thinking who was calling you at this time.”

“Hmm…” This sentence is with a rising intonation, suggesting that somebody is eavesdropping. “Nothing. It was from Zhang Hai. He reported something to me.”

“Are you heading out?”

“Nope. Everything is settled.” Yi Yunrui sits on the bed and takes his wife in his arms. He rubs her belly, “It’s almost three months. Is the baby naughty?”

Xia Ning shakes her head, “Not at all. It’s quiet.”

“Good.” Yi Yunrui looks at his little wife expressively, “Dear, it’s safe after three months, innit?”

Xia Ning understands what her husband is saying. Her face blushes immediately.

“Hmm, perhaps later?”

“I thought you were saying that our baby was quiet. I guess it’s fine.”

“I think we still need to wait and see. It’s only three months after all.” Xia Ning pushes away Yi Yunrui, trying to get out of his arms.

Yi Yunrui takes his wife back and touches her nose, “I’m now thinking whether I should tell our baby how its mum has been torturing its dad. Dear, haven’t you found it’s hard for me?”

“Hmm…” Xia Ning blushes at what Yi Yunrui said. She certainly knows that it has been tough for Yi Yunrui these days, but they have to hold on anyway, “Dear, are you feeling uncomfortable?”

Yi Yunrui nods honestly.

“You poor thing.” Xia Ning purses her lips, touching her husband’s face with sympathy, “If so, why don’t we sleep in separate rooms?”
