Chapter 586 They Tested Her

Hearing Duke Davis’s words, Xia Ning is even more worried. Does he have anything to do before going back?

Then Leon must be so worried.

“Duke Davis, how long will it take to finish that thing? Leon is very worried.” In fact, she shouldn’t ask the question, but after Duke Davis gave her the ring, she becomes much bolder.

Duke Davis looks at Xia Ning for a while and said, “Ning, you want me to go back to Britain so much?”

Xia Ning is dumbfounded. What does Duke Davis mean?

“Duke Davis, that’s not what my wife meant.” Seeing that his young wife is speechless, Yi Yunrui says, “His Highness asked about your whereabouts, and he is very worried. He said if we got any news about you, we should tell him immediately. Now that Ning met you, she must tell His Highness. Besides, if you go back, Ning will find time to visit you. Duke Davis, please forgive my discourtesy. Why don’t you give His Highness a message first?”

Duke Davis’s face is cold, “Well… I see. You two, go back.”

With that, Duke Davis turns around and walks away.

It is so difficult for him to find her and meet her. Is he going back to Britain so soon?

He is reluctant to leave.

He wants to spend more time here and see more of his little great-granddaughter.

He also wanted to wait for the birth of his little great-great-grandson… It is his last wish.

He just wants to take a look, stay for a while, and then go back and spend time with Lian’ni.

“Honey, did I say something wrong?” Xia Ning looks at Yi Yunrui anxiously.

Yi Yunrui smiles and pats her on the shoulder lightly, “It’s okay. Duke Davis is just reluctant to leave.”

“Why?”

Turning to look at his wife, Yi Yunrui says slowly, “The way Duke Davis looks at you is very meaningful. Did you notice it?”

Meaningful…

Xia Ning frowns slightly and looks at the ring in her hand.

She has noticed it, too. But why did Duke Davis look at her that way?

What kind of relationship does she have with Duke Davis?

If there is some connection between them, why doesn’t Duke Davis tell her directly?

What is Duke Davis thinking about?

“What? Ou Yixuan died?”

“Shh!” Li Baoer’s voice is so loud that Xia Ning covers her ears, “Don’t be so loud. It scares me to death.”

“I’m sorry.” Li Baoer apologizes, “Ning, are you telling the truth? No way?”

Xia Ning sighs, “He died the day before yesterday, and the funeral was held just yesterday.”

“…” Li Baoer purses her lips and sighs, “To be honest, the man I hate the most is him. He hurt you badly enough! But now that he died, I feel sorry for him… Ning, please don’t mind me saying so.”

Xia Ning smiles, “Silly girl, of course, I don’t mind. No matter how abominable a person is when he’s alive, everything will be gone after his death. There is nothing that I can’t let go of.”

“By the way, the girl named Hua Xiaoran who came to the company to see you a while ago is really Ou Yixuan’s girlfriend?”

Xia Ning thinks for a while and says, “Yes, Ou Yixuan had an accident and she cried very sadly. Today she was standing in front of Ou Yixuan’s grave for a long time.”

“Really? A girl likes that kind of man?” Li Baoer pauses and looks at Xia Ning embarrassedly, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean you. Hehe…”

“Never mind. After all, I loved him for eight years.” With another sigh, Xia Ning remembered the days of her and Ou Yixuan together.

Li Baoer widened her eyes and said, “Don’t say that, or Commander Yi will be jealous!”

Yi Yunrui is indifferent to everyone, except for Xia Ning. He is a jealous man indeed.

“Ou Yixuan’s funeral was arranged by Rui. Well, it’s really hard for him. I guess.”

“What?” Li Baoer’s eyes widen in disbelief, “Commander Yi arranged it? God! What was that woman called Hua Xiaoran doing? She was only crying when her man had an accident! By the way, Ning, Commander Yi really spoils you. I can’t believe he did it for another man.”

Well, when would Dai Zhongheng come back? She hasn’t heard from him for a month. She is so worried and misses him so much.

Xia Ning nods, “I owe my husband a favor.”

Xia Ning looks at Li Baoer’s big belly. She is five months pregnant. It seems that Zhenzhen has taken very good care of her, “Baoer, your belly is so big. If you are tired, I will immediately let you go on vacation. Don’t force yourself.”

“No.” Li Baoer waves her hand, “The baby is so sweet and doesn’t bother me much. I’m not taking vacations for the time being. Besides, I have to keep an eye on the little brats in my department so that they won’t make any trouble.”

Xia Ning laughs, “It’s like you are a hen with a flock of chicks. It’s not that serious. Your department’s performance has always been good. Don’t worry.”

Li Baoer smiles proudly, “Oh, Mrs. Xia, go ahead if you want to compliment me. I love compliments.”

Xia Ning rolls her eyes at her. Li Baoer isn’t humble at all!

At this moment, the door of the chief editor’s room is knocked, and An Lingxi and Christine walk in.

“Ning, I have something to do in my department. I’ll go first.” With that, Li Baoer turns around and leaves directly.

She somehow doesn’t like these two women.

Neither of them is pleasing to the eye!

She hates them for no reason.

The door of the office closed. An Lingxi pauses and says, “Chief Editor Xia, am I disturbing you two?”

“No. Sit down.”

An Lingxi and Christine sit down. After a short while, Jing Shu also comes in and brings Xia Ning a cup of warm milk.

“Sister Xia, here’s your milk. Drink it while it’s warm.”

“Okay, thank you.”

Jing Shu glances at Christine. She still has a shallow scar on her forehead, but it does not affect her beauty. On the contrary, it makes her look more lovable.

She is Zhang Hai’s current girlfriend.

This fact makes Jing Shu’s heart jump violently. She takes her eyes away from Christine, bites her lips, and turns to leave.

Xia Ning takes a sip of warm milk, puts down the cup, and said, “Have you two fully recovered? If you’re not feeling well, you can rest for a few more days.”

“Thank you, Chief Editor Xia, for being so sympathetic. Christine and I are fine. We can go back to work.”

“That’s good.” Xia Ning takes another sip of milk and suddenly remembers that Leng Weiwei is coming back soon.

Everyone will be back then. She hopes there won’t be more trouble.

“After lying in the hospital for so many days, when I came back to work, I found a lot of things to deal with in a hurry. Chief Editor Xia, I’d like to give priority to the affairs of the deputy editor in the near future.” An Lingxi pushes the documents in her hands to Xia Ning, “This is the department plan I just made. Chief Editor Xia, you can see if there is anything else to add.”

An Lingxi only returns to the company today, but the department plan she submitted is impeccably detailed. Looking at this plan, Xia Ning is very impressed by her, “The department plan is well written. Well, handle things according to this plan in the future… Oh, as for interviewing two big shots here, you didn’t write their names. Lingxi, what kind of big shots are so mysterious?”

An Lingxi and Christine look at each other, and An Lingxi says, “Chief Editor Xia, this is the purpose of my visit today. But for the two big shots, I already have candidates. I have to get your consent first.”

“Go ahead.”

“One is Tang Qieying, and the other is the man behind Tang Qieying.”

Hearing this, Xia Ning’s eyes widen in surprise.

“Wait. We’ve already had Tang Qieying’s exclusive interview…”

“That’s right.” An Lingxi interrupts Xia Ning, “So the plan this time is to interview two people together. Tang Qieying and the man behind her.”

Xia Ning gasps. She is playing with fire!

The man behind Tang Qieying could not be exposed!

Once he is exposed, there will be serious consequences.

Seeing Xia Ning’s face change, An Lingxi asks in confusion, “Chief Editor Xia, is there anything wrong?”

“Lingxi,” Xia Ning says slowly, putting down the cup in her hand, “It hasn’t been long since you came to China. Some things and some people should be avoided as much as possible. As for your proposal, I reject it.”

This time, it is An Lingxi’s turn to widen her eyes in surprise.

“Chief Editor Xia, isn’t there any room for negotiation on this matter? Why did you reject it directly?” An Lingxi suddenly thought of something, saying, “Could it be that you know something?”

Xia Ning’s eyes darken, “I don’t know anything. Don’t think too much about it. All your suggestions are good, and I agree with them, except for this one.”

“Chief Editor Xia, maybe you don’t understand what I mean. As for the man behind Tang Qieying, we don’t have to reveal his identity. We will only interview Tang Qieying, with the theme of the man behind a successful woman. Tang Qieying will talk about it alone.”

Xia Ning ponders for a while and then shakes her head, “No. I still don’t agree. Ms. Tang plays a very important role in our country. If something goes wrong with this exclusive interview, the whole World Era Weekly will suffer. About Ms. Tang’s exclusive interview, I’ve screwed up before. We’d better not take risks easily.”

Seeing that An Lingxi wants to say something else, Xia Ning waves her hand, “Deputy Editor An, can we discuss it later? Let’s discuss the next project, okay?”

An Lingxi hesitates for a while and then says helplessly, “OK. Let’s talk about it later.”

Ten minutes later, An Lingxi and Christine walk out of the chief editor’s room. Christine whispers, “Sister An, she screwed things up, but it doesn’t mean you can’t do it. She’s so dictatorial. Who does she think she is?”

An Lingxi clears her throat, “You have to pay attention to the occasion when you speak. Hasn’t it been felt out? Be quiet and go back to the department.”

An Lingxi turns around and walks away. She takes two steps and turns around as if she suddenly thought of something, “Bring me a cup of coffee.”

Christine nods and walks towards the pantry. As soon as she opens the door, she smells a strong smell of coffee in the pantry.
