Chapter 78 Call Me Darling

It is a dark world without any light. Xia Ning looks around blankly. Where is she?

“Ning.”

Xia Ning hears a familiar voice. She widens her eyes. That is her Mother!

“Mom!”

“Ning.”

When she calls “Mom”, she hears her father’s voice and her parents’ faces appear before her.

“Dad, Mom! Where are you?” She is sad. She staggers toward the images of her parents.

“Don’t leave me. Ning doesn’t want you to leave…” Tears pour out. However, no matter how hard she tried to run to catch them, the distance between her parents and her becomes longer and longer.

It is dark around. All those she loves have gone, leaving her alone. She feels really lonely.

She uses up her strength and weakly collapses onto the ground.

She can see her parents’ faces clearly, but she can’t get to them.

She did promise that she will live on well, but when she faces the truth now, she is so fragile.

“Ning, Ning!”

Anxious callings are heard, as if there is someone calling her to go back. Xia Ning lifts her head slightly and finds a light showing up from the source of the sounds.

“Ning! Wake up. Ning!” Yi Yunrui frowns anxiously and he shakes Xia Ning gently.

After the accident, Xia Ning has been in a coma for a whole day and night. When the doctor leaves, she keeps yelling and sweating. He is aware that she is having a nightmare. He has to wake her up.

“Wake up!” Yi Yunrui’s heart aches. He pinches her philtrum with his fingers.

“Hum…” Xia Ning lightly cries and opens her eyes.

The image of the tall man in front of her gradually gets clear. It is Yi Yunrui.

Xia Ning is still terrified and helpless. She suddenly holds out her hands and hugs Yi Yunrui tightly.

“Ning.” Yi Yunrui’s heart tightens. She is put on a drip. “That’s okay. Don’t worry. Your husband is here. Now, slowly let go of your hands. You are put on a drip. You will hurt your hands.”

Xia Ning hugs him tightly and shakes her head. No, she doesn’t want to let him go!

It was dark and cold in that space. She is terrified.

“Rui, don’t ever leave me. Never.” She remembers well the warmth at the moment.

He is the only one who can give her this. She knows now.

Hearing the words from the bottom of her heart, Yi Yunrui is moved. He tries his best to lower his body for fear that she may hurt her blood vessels.

“OK. I will not leave you all my life. I will never leave you. Yi Yunrui has only one wife. That is Xia Ning. OK. Put down your hands and I will hold you instead. OK?”

Xia Ning sobs and her body trembles. It takes quite a while for her to calm down. She nods and moves her hands.

Once she puts down her hands, Yi Yunrui holds her and she is surrounded by the comfortable warmth. Xia Ning is grateful. She can’t help tearing.

Yi Yunrui frowns anxiously. He pats on her back gently, “You have just woken up. Don’t be so emotional. I am here. It is OK…”

Yi Yunrui doesn’t know what to say. He pats on her back and holds her tightly, trying to give her more warmth.

Everything is quiet except for Xia Ning’s sobbing and Yi Yunrui’s comforting. They have been embracing and haven’t moved for quite a while.

Until the liquid medicine runs out, Yi Yunrui lets go of Xia Ning and calls for the doctor.

Xia Ning looks blankly at the doctor’s changing of liquid medicine. She suddenly remembers something and asks, “Where is Baoer? How are Baoer and Weiwei?”

“Don’t worry. They are fine.” Yi Yunrui covers the quilt for her, “They only get bruises. Your injuries are the most serious. You hit your head. The doctor says we can leave the hospital in several days.”

Xia Ning takes a long breath, “Good to know that. It is surprising. How could the car crash? It is my fault. I drove carelessly.”

“It is not your fault.” Yi Yunrui says seriously, “Someone hit your car on purpose.”

Xia Ning is astonished, “Are you saying that someone did it on purpose? Who?”

Yi Yunrui ponders for a while, wondering if he should tell her the truth.

“Why don’t you reply?” Xia Ning is anxious, “Tell me the truth, please.”

“It is OK to tell you, but you have to promise that no matter what you hear, you will keep calm.”

Hearing what Yi Yunrui says, Xi Ning is more anxious, but she restrains herself, “OK. I promise. Please tell me.”

“The accident has something to do with Li Yun.” Yi Yunrui stares at her and says word by word.

Xia Ning is shocked. It reminds her of Li Yun’s threat several days ago. She says, “I should have known that. I was really stupid. I didn’t take any precautions. Now, it caused hurt to Baoer and Weiwei.

Aware of her thought, Yi Yunrui frowns, “It is not your fault. Don’t think too much.”

“What is ‘not my fault’?” Xia Ning pursed her lips tightly, “I am always making trouble.”

“Ning!” Yi Yunrui finally fails to restrain himself. He comes to her and lifts her face, “Don’t blame yourself every time. Many things are meant to happen. No matter what we do, they will happen.”

Seeing the nervousness in his eyes, Xia Ning’s heart aches. She remembers the scenes in her dream.

“Many things are meant to happen. We can’t stop them.”

It is just like that she can’t prevent his parents’ accident and she can’t prevent Ou Yixuan’s leaving, either.

What about Yi Yunrui? Will he leave her, just as them?

“Then, can I prevent you from leaving me?”

Xia Ning says unconsciously and Yi Yunrui is shocked suddenly!

After quite a while, Yi Yunrui responds, “Why will you ask this? Who did you meet? Who told you something like this?”

Well, ever since she met Ou Yixuan, she has been a little abnormal in her moods.

Ou Yixuan…

“I…” Xia Ning is aware that he is angry. Her heart tightens and she realizes that she lost control of her moods just now. She shakes her head, “No. I am just kidding. Rui, don’t worry.”

Yi Yunrui’s eyes darken. He says seriously, “From now on, you have to call me Darling.”

Xia Ning blinks her eyes and doesn’t know how to respond.

She is married to Yi Yunrui. It should be natural for her to call him Darling. But when the word goes to her lips, she can’t speak it out.

“I…”

“Call me Darling!”

It seems that the Commander means it seriously. Xia Ning turns her face and her heart almost jumps out from her chest.

Yi Yunrui pulls her face back and says word by word, “Xia Ning, call me Darling.”

Xia Ning blushes from her face to her neck. With her face held by his hand, she has to stare at his eyes directly.

In the fight between her eyes against his, Xia Ning loses. She curls her lips and says in a weak voice, “Dar…ling.”

Yi Yunrui’s eyes soften, “Speak loudly, your Darling can’t hear it clearly. “
