Chapter 74 Unbelievable
Yi Yunrui glances at her, “OK. I accept your apology.”
Xia Ning blinks her eyes and stares at Yi Yunrui. Really? Or is it just a saying?
Yi Yunrui finds Xia Ning stare at him in surprise. He touches her nose, “Don’t think too much. Let’s have supper first.”
Soon, they finish was.h.i.+ng the foods and sauce them. A tasty hot pot is ready.
“Can you have some with me?” Yi Yunrui asks.
“Hum. Yes.” Xia Ning is a food aficionado. Though it is just turning autumn cool, she likes hot pot all the year round.”
But it is surprising that Yi Yunrui will choose to have a hot pot at this time of the year.
“Why do you want to have a hot pot?” Xia Ning asks.
“I am afraid of cold.”
Xia Ning is shocked. What is “he is afraid of cold”?
What does Yi Yunrui mean by saying that?
They have the hot pot and don’t talk much. Xia Ning wants to say something but she doesn’t know how to express even though the words are by her lips. She feels guilty. It is not any kind of mistake, but if she asks it by the dinner table, she believes the supper won’t be a happy one. Yi Yunrui hasn’t finished his supper yet. She will wait.
Soon, Yi Yunrui sweats on his head. He takes a piece of towel to wipe his mouth, “You may go on. I am going to take a shower. You don’t need to do the clean-up. I will do it later.”
He finishes his words and puts down the chopsticks and goes into the bathroom.
Faced with a pot of delicious foods, Xia Ning is stunned there with the chopsticks at her hand. A strange feeling sticks to her mind.
Yi Yunrui is not here and she doesn’t have the mood to eat. She puts down the chopsticks. She is going to do the clean-up when Yi Yunrui walks out from the bathroom after a bath.
Xia Ning sees Yi Yunrui walk to her. She widens her eyes and blushes.
He, wears nothing on his upper body!
His strong body is all there. The six-pack abs gives out a fancy imagination. Powerful muscles are here and there, while his hairs are still dripping water…Yi Yunrui always wore pajamas when he was at home. It is unbelievable to Xia Ning to see him in this look today.
It is correct. Yi Yunrui is so handsome that he may cause complaints among people and bring hurts to the world. However, he is not supposed to play the temptation like this.
How can she bear it with her gla.s.sy woman heart?
“I…I am going to take a shower too.” Xia Ning says and walks to the bathroom. It seems that she needs refreshment.
Rained by the water, Xia Ning’s mind is still occupied by the image of Yi Yunrui’s naked upper body. She just can’t wash it away. Until she hears Yi Yunrui calling her, she comes back to consciousness.
She wipes her body and gets dressed. When she walks out of the bathroom, she is aware that she stayed at the bathroom for quite a while…
The living room is cleaned up and it smells like lemon everywhere. Xia Ning goes to the bedroom and is shocked to see Yi Yunrui reclining on the bed.
Wow, what’s happening?
Words pop up in her brain, “ Darling, I have a shower and wait for you on the bed！”
“Ugh.” Xia Ning’s heart beats rapidly. She shakes her head to get rid of the indecent thoughts. She asks in a weak voice, “Aren’t you cold? You wear too little…”
“I am not if you come here.” Yi Yunrui responds mildly.
Xia Ning hears a clash in her brain and she is shocked to be like a woodcarving.
Yi Yunrui holds out his long hand, “Come here.”
Go…or not…go…
Xia Ning is having an intense soul struggle. She makes a hard stepping forward but s.h.i.+ly steps back again.
“Well, come here. Your husband is cold.” Yi Yunrui says and slightly moves his hands.
Xia Ning’s heart beats rapidly. She closes her eyes to take a breath and goes to hold his hands.
On the moment her little hands touch his big palms, she is held by him tightly. With a little more force added, he pulls Xia Ning who cries in surprise and falls into his embrace immediately…
She is surrounded by the strong masculine aroma with mild fragrance after bathing. It is tempting enough to make her blush with excitement.
She is enjoying the feeling when Yi Yunrui leans to give her a kiss on the forehead…
“Ning.” He calls in a pampering voice. His voice is a little hoa.r.s.e, which is magnetic and charming, “In the future, no matter what happens, don’t hide it from me. Will you?”
Xia Ning curls her lips. He said that he accepted, while in fact, he did mind more or less.”
“Hum. I will not hide anything from you.”
Yi Yunrui kisses her forehead gently, “You may think me mean. However, every man will be jealous and angry when he sees his wife staying with another man alone. Or, he doesn’t love his wife. I know you are worried. But I am your husband. I will try my best to understand you no matter what happened. Honesty is very important for two people to get along with each other.
Xia Ning nods, “Rui, there is really nothing between Ou Yixuan and me. Don’t worry…”
“Ning.” Yi Yunrui interrupts, “What I am saying is not to ask you to do anything. You were with him for eight years. Terminating the relation may be easy to say. I understand that. I am unhappy, I am jealous, but I will wait, wait with patience. You are with me for about half a year. I can understand it is hard to weigh it with the time of your being with him.”
Saying this, Yi Yunrui holds Xia Ning more tightly, as if he is afraid that he may lose her any time.
Xia Ning feels warm and sweet. She strokes his face and looks straightly into his eyes, “Rui, do you know what I found when I was with Ou Yixuan today?”
Yi Yunrui flashes his eyes, “What?”
“It is his birthday today. In the past, no matter how busy he might be, he would make a day to relax. We would go to have coffee in the coffee shop. Every time, I would order a cup of caramel macchiato and tell a lot of jokes to please him. Whether he laughed or not, that was the happiest day for me.
Xia Ning says and is aware that Yi Yunrui’s eyes darken. She kisses him gently, “Then I found today, caramel macchiato was still sweet, but I was not in the mood to tell any jokes. It was not as sweet and happy as before. I realized that when I was with him, all I thought was about you. Until you appeared there and sat by me, I felt relaxed as if the big stone finally fell onto the ground.”
Yi Yunrui looks at her softly and holds her hands tightly, “Ning…I am happy that you tell me these. Really, I am very happy.”
