Chapter 113 A Wish
Xia Ning smiles coldly. Again!
It seems that there have been three women telling her so.
“Commissar Mei, this is a public place. Please be careful.” Xia Ning covers her ears deliberately, “You and my husband are both easily identified. If something happens here and is photographed by others, no one knows what rumors will be created.”
Hearing this, Mei Ruo pauses. Her lips tremble, as if she is trying hard to restrain herself.
“Good…Very good. Xia Ning, let’s wait and see!” Saying this, Mei Ruo turns to leave.
Mei Ruo hits the ground with her high heel shoes. Xia Ning looks at her back. She shakes her head and gives a light sigh.
She is such a beauty. Why does she make such an embarra.s.sment?
Xia Ning puts down the form and says to Yi Yunrui: “I am going to work.”
Xia Ning doesn’t sound good. Yi Yunrui draws her hand: “Don’t go to work today.”
“Don’t go to work? Then, where do I go? You are going back to the Military Region soon.” Xia Ning says and tries to take back her hand.
After Mei Ruo leaves, in an instant, Xia Ning feels so tired that she wants to find some place to lie down.
She really doesn’t want to work, but if she doesn’t go to work, she will be more tired.
“I am not going to the Military Region today.” Yi Yunrui goes to her and holds her gently, “I will be with you, today.”
Being surrounded by the aroma of masculinity, Xia Ning blushes: “There is no need. Both of us should go to work. Don’t delay our work because of the triviality…”
“Triviality?” Yi Yunrui lifts his eyebrows, “You silly, look at you. You don’t have to hold on.”
Yi Yunrui is aware that Xia Ning wants to speak. He waves his hand slightly: “Don’t speak. Let’s go home.”
Xia Ning shakes her head: “I don’t want to go home.”
At least, not now.
There is still Mei Ruo’s aroma at home.
She is very uncomfortable.
“OK. OK. We are not going home. Where do you want to go? Your husband will be with you.” Yi Yunrui pats gently on her head.
Thinking for a while, Xia Ning gives a sigh: “Let’s go to the coffee shop. I want to eat something.”
“OK.”
The table is occupied by snacks. Xia Ning has two cups in front of her, a coffee cup and a milk cup.
She has finished a cup of coffee and she is carrying a cup of hot chocolate.
Feeling like all the strength has been taken away, Xia Ning only wants to pull herself together as soon as possible.
If she doesn’t supplement sugar in time, she will be very emotional.
The waiter takes the coffee cup away. Xia Ning takes a mouthful of chocolate. Then, she finds that the waiter who has just left serves another cup of hot chocolate,
“Do you also order chocolate?” Xia Ning is surprised.
Yi Yunrui nods. He drinks a mouthful of chocolate and frowns. It is too sweet. He doesn’t like this taste very much, but he doesn’t hate it, either.
“Hum. I have never had any and want to have a try.” If Xia Ning likes it, he doesn’t mind accepting this taste in the future.
“It is very sweet. Hot chocolate is the sweetest. You are a big man. Don’t drink this kind of thing.” Xia Ning holds out her hand and tries to take it.
Yi Yunrui slightly moves the cup away, holding her hand: “Why can’t a big man like me love this kind of thing? I don’t think it sweeter than you.”
Hearing this, Xia Ning blushes. She turns her face slightly: “Flattering talker.”
“Hahaha!” Yi Yunrui laughs, “So this is what flattering talker looks like? I know it today.”
Xia Ning curls her lips and lowers her head to drink the hot chocolate. She casually picks up a chicken wing and bites it regardless of grace.
And Yi Yunrui follows her to bite a chicken wing.
Xia Ning looks at them on the gla.s.s wall. She twitches her eyebrows. What Yi Yunrui and she are doing looks very funny.
It is lucky that Yi Yunrui has changed his army uniform in the car. Or, it will be funnier.
“Rui, do you feel sad about Mei Ruo?” Xia Ning puts down the chicken wing and gives a light sigh.
Yi Yunrui looks at her gently and gives a sigh of relief in his heart. The silly girl finally speaks out the words.
“I don’t feel sad, but worried about Mei Ruo.” Yi Yunrui puts down the chicken wing and wipes his hands. Then, he holds Xia Ning’s hand: “She shouldn’t have liked me. Honestly, it was my fault. I shouldn’t have given her any hope from the beginning.” Yi Yunrui holds Xia Ning’s hand tightly and turns to her, “Sweetheart, sorry to hurt you.”
Xia Ning’s heart sinks. Then, she feels upset, sad, and sweet. All kinds of emotions flow to her and her face fails to give any expressions. She curls her lips again and again: “No. I am not hurt.”
“I know that you feel uncomfortable.” Yi Yunrui says and holds her into his embrace gently, “I heard what you said in your dreams last night.”
At mid-night, she was crying and calling her family. At that moment, he had the desire to cut himself, thinking that as Xia Ning’s husband, how could he make her so helpless!
“Sorry, sweetheart. It won’t happen again. I promise.”
“Compared with me, Mei Ruo is more painful. She is braver and franker than me.”
“Sweetheart.” Yi Yunrui leans his face on her black hairs. The mild fragrance makes his heart hurt, “Let’s not talk about her. I am sorry about you. Don’t worry about Mei Ruo. She has never lacked people worrying about her. Sweetheart, I am your husband. Whatever will happen in the future, please tell me frankly. Don’t hide anything in your heart, will you? I will feel sad about that.”
What Yi Yunrui says. .h.i.ts the weakest point in Xia Ning’s heart. In an instant, tears flow out. Xia Ning stubbornly wipes the tears and buries her head into Yi Yunrui’s embrace.
Yi Yunrui pats on her back, feeling his heart aching: “No matter what happens, I will be with you. If you feel uncomfortable, you may cry. If it doesn’t get better, you can take it out on me. Your husband is strong and can stand dozens of beatings.”
Hearing the last words, Xia Ning smiles. She knows that Yi Yunrui is not kidding. Yi Yunrui is strong. Even if she gave him a beating every day, there wouldn’t be any problems.
Xia Ning wants to speak, but when she lifts her head, she sees a familiar shape entering the coffee shop.
It is Gu Luan!
Xia Ning is shocked, saying to Yi Yunrui in a low voice: “Darling, Director Gu is here.”
G.o.d. She has just asked for a leave. If she is seen by Gu Luan drinking coffee here, that will be embarra.s.sing.
“Oh.” Yi Yunrui responds, “It is all right. If Gu Luan sees us, I will explain to him.”
Gu Luan chooses a seat to sit down. It seems that he is thinking about something and doesn’t have the mood to look around. He orders a cup of coffee and looks out through the window.
“Darling, do you think we should leave now?” Xia Ning asks in a low voice.
“No. There aren’t many people here and we have a lot of snacks on the table. If we pay the bill now, we will attract Gu Luan’s attention.” Yi Yunrui thinks for a while and says, “My suggestion is that you and I go to say hi to Gu Luan.”
Xia Ning blinks her eyes. Seemingly, it is a good suggestion.
But she feels guilty, thinking herself an unreliable subordinate.
They are going, while there is another person coming in, a well-dressed beautiful woman.
The woman is about twenty-six or twenty-seven. She looks innocent and pretty. She wears the light make-up on her small oval face, which makes her look like a jasmine, beautiful and elegant.
The woman walks straightly to Gu Luan and stands in front of him.
It seems that they know each other.
The woman also orders a cup of coffee and has a short conversation with Gu Luan. Then they don’t look at each other, as if they are both thinking about their own things.
“Darling, seemingly, we see something that we should not see.” If Gu Luan knows she is here, that is…
Yi Yunrui takes a sip of the hot chocolate. He says meaningfully: “It turns out that Gu Luan is also sentimental.”
What he says shocks Xia Ning like a thunder. What does Yi Yunrui mean?
The woman thinks for a while, as if she finally decides something. She lifts her head and says something to Gu Luan, looking at him earnestly.
Gu Luan listens to her quietly without any emotions on his face. It can’t tell what he is thinking about.
The woman speaks for a while and Gu Luan doesn’t give any reactions. In the end, the woman is anxious and tearing. She cries when she speaks.
Gu Luan slightly frowns but yet he doesn’t speak anything.
Xia Ning lifts her eyebrows. Based on what she sees, it must be about love.
Later, the woman even reaches to hold Gu Luan, as if she is begging him for something. But Gu Luan still doesn’t speak anything.
Xia Ning takes a mouthful of hot chocolate, wondering why Gu Luan can be so cold with the woman, while he is such an easy-going man.
Whatever happened between them, seeing the woman is crying, he can at least say something…
Xia Ning looks carefully at Gu Luan’s expression, but only to find him indifferent and unmoved.
In the end, the woman collapses. She lets go of Gu Luan and leans on the table to cry.
Gu Luan pushes a bag of paper towel to her and speaks. From the moves of his mouth, he speaks only a few words.
Then the woman trembles and stops crying at once!
Gu Luan puts down the money and stands up to leave. The woman suddenly draws his hand and begs him emotionally.
“Luan, I am sorry for what I did in the past. Please give me another chance. I was wrong…”
The woman is emotional and she speaks so loudly that Xia Ning can hear clearly.
Gu Luan slightly frowns. He pushes the woman’s hand away and says some words. Then he turns to leave.
Looking at Gu Luan’s back blankly, the woman turns pale immediately.
Xia Ning gives a sigh and takes a mouthful of hot chocolate, thinking that Director Gu also experienced things like this in the past.
Normally, Director Gu is always gentle and easy-going. It seems that what happened hurts him badly.
Xia Ning turns to look at Yi Yunrui, who seems to be in some thought. Xia Ning asks: “Darling, what are you thinking about?”
Does Yi Yunrui figure out something?
Yi Yunrui thinks carefully for a while and responds word by word: “Sweetheart, let’s have a baby.”
