Chapter 308 She Feels Regretful
Leng Weiwei glances at Xia Ning. She is just going to speak when Xia Ning responds first, “No, need. Let’s go tomorrow so that Director Gu won’t feel inconvenient and other people won’t talk nonsense.”
Wan Liqing was expecting Xia Ning to say something like that. However, when she hears the last part of the speech, she feels angry, “Director Xia, what do you mean by saying people talk nonsense?”
Xia Ning sneers, “I didn’t say who. Please don’t take it personally.”
If not because of Yi Yunrui, Xia Ning won’t argue with Wan Liqing. Isn’t it just a matter of one day’s time! Does she have to be so mean?
In the past, Xia Ning thought Wan Liqing was a quiet and intelligent woman. Now, she realizes that Wan Liqing has changed to be someone she is not familiar with.”
“You…”
“OK. OK. What are you arguing about?” Gu Luan loses his patience, “Get ready at seven tomorrow morning at the company.”
The meeting breaks up unhappily.
Xia Ning goes back to her office. She feels very regretful.
Why did she fall into such an obvious trap and get enraged as expected?
Yi Yunrui is leaving for Beijing and will stay there for quite some time!
It means that she won’t be able to meet him in a long time…
She feels very sad in her heart.
Xia Ning can’t concentrate on work the whole day. She gets off very early.
She plans to cook some delicious foods for her lovely husband.
Surprisingly, when she gets home, she sees Yi Yunrui in an ap.r.o.n cooking the soup!
Xia Ning feels confused to see that.
“Darling…you…”
“Why didn’t you tell me in advance that you would get off early today?” Yi Yunrui says. He unties the ap.r.o.n and gets a bowl of soup for Xia Ning, “The soup is just done. Come here. Drink some.”
Agrocybe aegerita soup with black mushroom and chicken feet.
She likes the soup very much.
“Wow, it is boiled for enough time!” Xia Ning drinks the soup and praises.
“You like it. Drink some more. There is plenty of it.” Yi Yunrui stands up.
“Where are you going? I can get the soup myself.” Xia Ning holds out her hand to stop him.
“You silly.” Yi Yunrui gently pinches her cheek, “I go to make dinner.”
Xia Ning feels warm in her heart, “Let me do it today. I come home early for the purpose of making a dinner for you.”
All these years, most of the time, Yi Yunrui cooks. As a woman, her kitchen is occupied by a man. She feels a little embarra.s.sed about that.
Xia Ning’s eyes gleam sincerely. Yi Yunrui looks at her gently, “Then, your husband will wait lazily for eating.”
Half an hour later, delicious dishes are put on the table.
It is the same, four dishes and a soup.
Commander Yi eats greedily the foods cooked by his lovely wife. He acts like a hungry wolf or tiger. As a wind wipes the clouds, soon, he almost finishes the dishes greedily as if he has just got free from the prison.
Xia Ning laughs happily.
After supper, Yi Yunrui wants to collect the tableware but is stopped again by his wife.
“It is not for negotiation. I will do the was.h.i.+ng…” Yi Yunrui hasn’t finished his words when he is aware of the uneasiness on his wife’s face. He feels confused, “Ning, you have got something to talk with me?”
Xia Ning curls her lips. She hesitates for a while and nods, “Yes. Rui, if I have done anything wrong, will you forgive me?”
“Yes.”
Not expecting that Yi Yunrui will respond at once, Xia Ning brightens her eyes, “Do you know what I have done?”
Yi Yunrui shakes his head, “No, I don’t know.”
“Then, how do you know that you can forgive me?”
Yi Yunrui leans to her and strokes her hairs, “Because I trust you.”
Xia Ning feels very moved and also guilty. She lowers her head, “Today, Director Gu discussed with Director Wan, Chief Editor Leng and me about tomorrow’s business trip. Actually, I could postpone it for a day. However, Director Wan said something odd and I was angry. As a result, I agreed to have the trip tomorrow…Ah. It is my fault. Why was I so impulsive?”
Yi Yunrui’s eyes vaguely gleam. But he puts on an even more considerate smile, “It is OK. You may go tomorrow. How long will the trip last?”
“It will be about one week.” Xia Ning curls her lips, “Ah. I feel regretful. Well. I may call Director Gu now. I will tell him that I will go the day after tomorrow!”
It is about her lovely husband. Can’t it be worth breaking her promise?
Yi Yunrui stops Xia Ning, “No need. It is your job. Don’t get personal issues involved. In addition, we will only be apart for a small period of time. We are husband and wife for a lifetime. We have got a long time to come. I am only afraid that you may be tired of me in the future.”
“I won’t…”
Yi Yunrui sticks out his long fingers and touches her lips, “Tomorrow, when you arrive, call me. Remember to tell me where you live and how the agenda is arranged. OK?”
Xia Ning nods.
“At what time will you leave tomorrow?”
Xia Ning sticks out her figures to mean seven.
Yi Yunrui lifts his eyes. He wants to say something when his phone rings.
It is Luo Zhen calling.
“Brother Yi, sorry.”
Before Yi Yunrui speaks, Luo Zhen directly apologizes. Yi Yunrui frowns, “What’s up?”
Seemingly, quite some people apologize to him today.
“Commander Nie has written the recommendation letter for me. I don’t need to bother you with it now.”
Yi Yunrui widens his eyes, “Boy, you make progress! Well. You know how to get your path!”
Luo Zhen’s voice trembles, “Bro…Brother Yi, don’t be angry with me. I owe you. I am sorry. However, I really need this opportunity. I hope you can understand…”
“You may say sorry to Wenping! You don’t need to apologize to me!” Yi Yunrui hangs up the phone.
Nie Zhiyuan really does Luo Zhen a favor with pleasure!
If Luo Zhen gets enrolled at the Red Eagle special force, no matter he may live or die, it is an honor for Nie Zhiyuan.
Nie Zhiyuan doesn’t care about Luo Zhen’s safety at all!
To be frank, Nie Zhiyuan would rather Luo Zhen went away from him, the further, the better!
Yi Yunrui feels his head aching. Why didn’t he predict Luo Zhen’s move? Seemingly, the boy still needs to improve his psychological quality.
Xia Ning sees Yi Yunrui frown. She asks, “What happens? Why are you so angry?”
Yi Yunrui gives a sigh. He tells Xia Ning what happens to Luo Zhen.
“G.o.d. Wenping will be anxious to know that! Ah. What can we do?”
“Well. To live or to die is destined. The G.o.d decides everything. Whether he can survive depends on his own destiny.” It is no use stopping Luo Zhen. Luo Zhen has made up his mind. No one knows what astonis.h.i.+ng things he will do next with his stubborn temper.
Xia Ning feels very anxious. If his application is approved by the management, Colonel Luo will be risking his life for the rest of his life. Wenping will be very worried about him!
“Rui, do you think we should call Wenping?”
“No need. We may leave them to solve the problem by themselves. Anyway, as an army man, to protect the country is the priority mission. To die on the battlefield is a kind of honor!”
Xia Ning’s heart s.h.i.+vers when she hears Yi Yunrui’s words.
She always understands this logic. However, when it is spoken from Yi Yunrui’s mouth, Xia Ning feels her heart twitched in a mess.
When it comes to personal concerns, which woman isn’t selfish? She wants him to be safe and alive.
Yi Yunrui is aware of his wife’s expressions. He can guess what she is thinking about. He feels sorry and turns away his face.
“I may go to wash the dishes.” Yi Yunrui goes to collect the tableware.
Even Luo Zhen, an honest and simple man, knows how to deal with the issue. As to Feng Le, Yi Yunrui can give up stopping him.
It is something he can’t stop at all.
The next day, Yi Yunrui sends Xia Ning to work. Xia Ning gets off the car. She stands there to look at Knight XV’s disappearing before she goes back to her office.
“Oh. Our Director Xia is finally here. It is only a business trip. You are unwilling to leave your husband!”
Xia Ning has just opened the door of Gu Luan’s office when Wan Liqing cries in a sharp voice.
Xia Ning glances at Wan Liqing. She says coldly, “Morning, everyone.”
Seemingly, she is the last one to arrive.
However, she is not late.
“Morning!” Gu Luan nods at her, “The car is waiting downstairs, we may be off now.”
One hour later, they arrive at the Sofitel International Hotel in A City.
“You may put down your luggage. We will meet here in thirty minutes.” Gu Luan glances at the time, “It is eight now. See you at half past eight.”
The room looks nice with a small outdoor bathing pool. Xia Ning puts down her luggage. She walks to the balcony and looks at the beautiful scenery. If Yi Yunrui were with her here, it would be great.
It reminds her of him. She takes out her phone and dials Yi Yunrui’s number.
“Have you arrived at the hotel? Where is it?”
“Hum. Yes. We are at the Sofitel International Hotel in A City.”
“What’s your room number?”
Xia Ning hesitates, wondering whether Commander Yi is tracking the location.
“Room 302.”
“OK. I see. Call me every hour. Can you do that?”
Every one hour…it seems to be difficult. After all, she is on a business trip.
“I will try. If I forget. Will you call me?”
“OK.”
“Wait.” Xia Ning remembers something, “If I don’t answer your phone, I may be busy. I will call back later.”
“Hum.”
Xia Ning hangs up. She gives a sigh.
She misses Yi Yunrui, very much.
Especially when she is in such a beautiful place, which is just like a vacation villa.
Xia Ning briefly puts her luggage aside and refreshes her make-up. It is time and Xia Ning walks out of her room.
She is the last one again.
“Director Xia is really punctual.” Wan Liqing says in a cold voice.
Xia Ning glances at her, “Yes. I should have come a little later. Sorry to disturb Director Wan and Director Gu. My apologies.”
Wan Liqing darkens her face, “What do you mean?”
“What do I mean? Look at the distance between you and Director Gu. Don’t you announce some kind of relation? Director Wan, please don’t mind. Chief Editor Leng and I both understand. We will behave considerately.”
Hearing Xia Ning’s words, Wan Liqing’s face turns red and pale. It is correct that she loves Gu Luan. However, at this moment, it is spoken from Xia Ning’s mouth. It sounds really embarra.s.sing.
Wan Liqing rolls her eyes. She says, “Does Director Xia say so because you feel jealous? You may say frankly. It is fine for me to get away.”
