Chapter 192 Collaboration
“Well…I will explain to him. Anyway, you don’t tell. OK?”
“…” Looking at Xia Ning’s pleading eyes, Li Baoer is helpless, “OK. I will not tell. Well. Commander Yi seems to go back. Why are you staying here?”
Xia Ning hesitates. She surely knows that she should go back as soon as possible. But she looks at Li Baoer and is worried about her.
“Don’t worry about me. I am fine. I am not drunk. You may go home now.” As if she understands Xia Ning’s concern, Li Baoer urges Xia Ning to leave.
“Then…No. You have to go, too. If I leave, you have to go, too!”
Li Baoer rolls her eyes at Xia Ning, “Fine. We both leave. Anyway, I am not going to stay here. It is too noisy.”
Xia Ning supports Li Baoer and goes out of the bar. She sends Li Baoer home and drives fast back to the military compound.
Xia Ning runs back home in a hurry. Then, she finds that Yi Yunrui has not got home.
Looking at the empty house, Xia Ning feels her heart sinking deep into the bottom of the sea…
Is Yi Yunrui staying with Zhou Wenping?
Just now, Zhou Wenping followed Yi Yunrui and left in the same direction. Did they still have other things to do?
She feels her hearts painful as if it is twitched into a mess. At this moment, she can finally understand how Yi Yunrui felt when he saw her staying with Gu Luan.
Yes, she should not have gone out with Gu Luan. But she was also helpless.
Maybe Yi Yunrui feels uncomfortable and wants to have someone to talk with?
Thinking of this, Xia Ning feels panic. She is surrounded by the sense of helplessness and depression.
She has been married to Yi Yunrui for over two years. This is the first time for her to have this kind of feeling.
She feels the world cold.
Xia Ning goes with no emotions as a corpse back to the bedroom and lies down on the bed. She reaches to touch the lying position of Yi Yunrui. Tears blur her eyes.
She feels very lonely…she is really lonely…
Yi Yunrui gets home around one o’clock in the midnight. Xia Ning turns around to hide her tears from him.
She has been tearing for over an hour. Seemingly, tears have wetted a large part of her pillow.
She feels depressed. She has the impulse to ask about what’s between Yi Yunrui and Zhou Wenping, but she doesn’t dare to do.
She is afraid. She doesn’t know what she can do if Yi Yunrui doesn’t tell the truth or simply ignores her.
As to Commander Yi, who grows with and is surrounded by everyone’s love, Xia Ning is really too insignificant. In front of him, Xia Ning doesn’t have anything reasonable enough to “threaten” him.
If Yi Yunrui loses Xia Ning, he will find another much better woman very soon.
As to Yi Yunrui, she may be just like a pet. He will treat her well when he is interested in her. Once he finds her not what he likes, he will get bored with her.
Ah…How ridiculous? What a sadness…
Yi Yunrui puts out the cigarette. He walks into the bathroom to wash away the disgusting perfume on him.
If it is not required by the military department, he will never be willing to get in contact with this woman.
The perfume she carries makes him feel very uncomfortable.
Yi Yunrui glances at the phone by his side, wondering who sent him the message today.
It told that Xia Ning and Gu Luan were in the coffee shop.
Several days ago, there was someone telling him about Xia Ning and Gu Luan’s being in the French restaurant. Now, a message again…Does someone follow Xia Ning?
Or…Does someone plan something on her?
Anyway, what can be sure is that he will find this person soon.
In this world, except that person, no one else can ever hide himself from Yi Yunrui for over a month!
He soaks himself in the water for quite a while. He is sure that the perfume is washed away and stands up.
He walks back to the bedroom and sees Xia Ning lying on the bed. Her breaths sound stable. It seems that she is sleeping.
Yi Yunrui gives a sigh and lies down by her. Unconsciously, he holds out his hand and wants to hug her. But he stops his hand in the air.
No. She has not made a confession to him about what happened recently.
He is her husband. He has to make her keep this in her mind!
Thinking of this, Yi Yunrui clenches his hand into a fist. He grits his teeth and turns around.
Aware of Yi Yunrui’s indifference, Xia Ning feels her heart painful. Tears flow out again. She closes her eyes. In the pain, she decisively makes up her mind.
It is in the morning of the next day.
Gu Luan takes a mouthful of the sweet coffee. He puts it down and looks at Yin Jingyao, who is sitting in front of him.
“Miss Yin comes to me so early. I wonder what it is about?” He had just got to his office when his a.s.sistant told him that a woman was waiting for him. He was surprised to find that it was Yin Jingyao.
“I have two issues.” Yin Jingyao says directly, “One, I want to work in your TV station. Two, I want to discuss something with you.”
“Oh?” Gu Luan mildly smiles, “Actually, I said it clearly in the other evening. If it is just a sudden impulse, Miss Yin doesn’t need to think about…”
“I have thought about it. I want to have a long-term development here.” Yin Jingyao interrupts Gu Luan’s words, “I hope Director Gu can give a chance for me to try.”
Gu Luan slightly blinks his eyes, “I want to know the main reason for Miss Yin to choose to work in World Era TV Station.
Yin Jingyao thinks for a while, “I used to be the leader of the Literature and Art Troupe. I am very sensitive to the modern trend. I think I can have a further development in World Era TV Station.
“You are confident. It is good.” Gu Luan smiles, “Then, what’s the second issue?”
Gu Luan responds straightly. Yin Jingyao is surprised. On the contrary, she is a little hesitating.
She expected that Gu Luan would try to refuse her. She would then throw out the second issue to push him. Now, it seems that Gu Luan is more interested in the second issue.
Yin Jingyao glances at Gu Luan who is smiling happily. She can’t help feeling cold in her heart. Gu Luan is really a tricky man.
“The second issue is that I want to collaborate with you on something.”
Gu Luan lifts his eyebrows, “Collaborate? What do you mean?”
“I know that you like Xia Ning. Don’t you?
Gu Luan slightly pauses his smile, “It is interesting. May I ask why you are so sure that I like Ning?”
“It is easy!” Yin Jingyao smiles coldly, “You knew that Xia Ning’s husband was Yi Yunrui, but you still openly invited Xia Ning to have coffee. Are you going to win Xia Ning by fighting against Yi Yunrui openly and secretly? Or, are you going to take her by force?”
“Hahaha!” Gu Luan laughs, “It sounds funny. It is really interesting! Miss Yin, I become more interested in you now.”
“Stop!” Yin Jingyao waves her hand, “I have someone I like. Don’t speak those disgusting words to me!”
Gu Luan slightly blinks his eyes, “OK. OK. I may pay attention to that. Then, as Miss Yin said, what’s the purpose for us to collaborate with each other?”
“You like Xia Ning. To be honest, I love Yi Yunrui. I have been loving him for eight years. I can help you get Xia Ning.”
“Oh. You are confident. Don’t forget, Xia Ning’s husband is the Army Commander. She won’t leave Yi Yunrui easily.”
“You only need to agree to collaborate with me. As long as you cooperate with me, you will get Xia Ning. What is needed is to make Yi Yunrui and Xia Ning divorce.”
Gu Luan slightly lifts his lips, “If I can be with Xia Ning, don’t you ask me to repay you? Say, help you get Yi Yunrui?”
“No need.” Yin Jingyao responds dismissively, “You don’t have the capability for that. And Yi Yunrui is not a person to be influenced easily.”
“Is he?” Gu Luan stares at her, “If Commander Yi is such a deep person, do you think that he will let go of Xia Ning as expected?”
“In theory, no. But actually, as long as Xia Ning decisively wants to leave, Rui will finally give up. We only need to ensure that Xia Ning makes up her mind to leave Yi Yunrui forever.”
Gu Luan slightly pauses. He thinks for a while, “Yes. Miss Yin is right. Please give me a day to think it over.”
Yin Jingyao sneers, “This is the chance which comes once but never. I may change my mind tomorrow. After all, Director Gu is a very thoughtful man.”
“Am I? You are flattering me.”
“Gu Luan, save your pattern.” Yin Jingyao darkens her face, “Don’t forget. I can offer the chance to collaborate with you. I can also destroy everything. It is up to me. Do you understand?”
Gu Luan sneers in his heart. However, he looks surprised. He pauses for a while and says, “There is one point I need to mention. According to the regulation of the World Era TV Station, newcomers, regardless what a great background they may have, need to take a one-month probation. Is Miss Yin OK with that?”
Yin Jingyao is aware of Gu Luan’s concern. She mildly smiles, “It is fine with me, as long as Director Gu arranges a nice supervisor for me.”
Gu Luan freezes his eyes, “I wonder when Miss Yin can come to work?”
“Any time.”
“Good.” Gu Luan thinks for a while, “Xia Ning is lack of an a.s.sistant. Do you mind have the one-month probation there?”
Yin Jingyao slightly frowns, wondering what Gu Luan means to arrange Xia Ning to be her supervisor.
Gu Luan is aware of Yin Jingyao’s unpleasure. He says, “I want you to be by Xia Ning, so that I can learn the information about her in time. And, Xia Ning is the most easy-going one among all the directors in World Era TV Station. She is nice. Miss Yin knows this. Don’t you?”
Yin Jingyao wants to deny what Gu Luan says, but as a matter of fact, she has to admit that Xia Ning is really easy-going.
Yin Jingyao bites her bottom lips and takes a deep breath. As if she has made a painful decision, she says, “OK. Let’s do it as you say.”
Gu Luan’s eyes gleamed wickedly. He takes up the handset and dials Xia Ning’s office number, “Director Xia, please come to my office.”
Several minutes later, Xia Ning comes to the Director’s Office. She is very surprised to see Yin Jingyao sitting there.
Xia Ning sits down. Gu Luan says, “You have known each other. There is no need for me to make an introduction. Director Xia, Miss Yin will be your a.s.sistant. I wonder if you have any comments on the arrangement.”
Hearing this, Xia Ning feels so surprised that she opens her mouth. After a while, she responds, “Jingyao is the daughter of the mayor of B City. Does she agree to be my a.s.sistant? Are there any misunderstandings here?”
“There are no misunderstandings.” Not waiting for Gu Luan to respond, Yin Jingyao says, “Director Xia, you know the reason. I have to earn my living. Don’t I?”
