Chapter 57 Mei Ruo
“Ning!”
After a nervous cry, the cup in Xia Ning’s hand is taken away. Yi Yunrui holds her hand, frowning. He helps her wipe the stain of coffee, “Did you get hurt?”
Xia Ning is stunned. She was not aware that the coffee pours out, “No. I am fine. It is not so hot.”
A woman sits by Yi Yunrui. She is elegant and her face is naturally beautiful, needing no making up. Besides, she is tall and hot. What a real beauty!
It is a beautiful woman who cannot be ignored no matter where she stands.
By comparison, Yin Jingsi and Yin Jingyao are not at the same level. If the beauty of Yin sisters is for a country, then that of this woman is for the world.
Her beauty is amazing and astonis.h.i.+ng.
She sits by Yi Yunrui. The two makes a perfect couple.
Xia Ning’s heart aches.
This woman is the one who left the messages in Yasi Villa.
“Hi, I am Mei Ruo. I am the new Political Commissar of Commander Yi.” Mei Ruo introduces herself and reaches out her hand to Xia Ning.
Xia Ning smiles and holds her hand, “Hi, I am…”
“You are Xia Ning. Right?” Mei Ruo continues what Xia Ning says, “I heard from people in the Military Region that Commander Yi got married. So, I come here on purpose to have a glance at the bride of Commander Yi.” Saying this, Mei Ruo looks to Yi Yunrui. An implication flashes in her beautiful eyes, “Commander Yi, Miss Xia is so beautiful. She looks gentle and nice. It is not surprising that you like her.”
Yi Yunrui doesn’t respond. Holding Xia Ning in one hand, he holds the cup with the other and has a sip of the coffee.
“Political Commissar Mei is flattering me.” Not knowing why, she always feels there are some implications in what Mei Ruo says. It makes people uncomfortable.
“I am telling the truth. I am an old friend of Commander Yi. He is a quiet man. However, which man doesn’t like to have a gentle good wife? Commander really makes a good choice.”
Yi Yunrui’s eyes flash, “You come back today?”
“Hum.” Mei Ruo nods, “Once I come back. I think of Commander. But it is really a surprise to meet you here. That is quite lucky.”
Yi Yunrui doesn’t respond. He lowers his eyes and drinks coffee.
“Commissar Mei, what do you like to drink?” Xia Ning pushes the menu to Mei Ruo.
The clerk comes. Mei Ruo doesn’t look at the menu, saying, “A cup of double espresso.”
“OK, Miss. In a minute.”
Not for a while. The black thick espresso is served. Mei Ruo holds the little spoon and stirs the coffee. She takes up the cup and has a sip.
“Does Commissar Mei like black coffee?” Xia Ning asks.
Mei Ruo nods and glances at Yi Yunrui, “I will say that Commander Yi likes black coffee. When I met Commander Yi for the first time, I saw he order a cup of black coffee. So I ordered one too and found it is tasty. Then, I got to love it.” Saying this, Mei Ruo asks Yi Yunrui, “I am surprised. Didn’t you like black coffee in the past? Why do you like cappuccino now?”
“I have never said that I liked black coffee.” Yi Yunrui responds straightly.
The smile on Mei Ruo’s face freezes. But she smiles more happily in the next second, “Well. It seems that I made a mistake. Sorry. I am making a fool of myself in front of your wife.”
“Commissar is really joyful.” Xia Ning smiles, “Actually, Rui doesn’t speak much. Sometimes, I don’t know what he is thinking.”
Yi Yunrui lifts his eyebrows slightly and holds her hand more tightly, “Well. I will speak more, as long as you don’t complain that I talk too much.”
Xia Ning tightens her smiling mouth and wants to pull her hand back. But Yi Yunrui holds it even more tightly. She is shy, “Rui, Commissar Mei is here.”
“I know.”
You know and you don’t let go of my hand. Xia Ning cries in her heart.
Seeing the movements of the two, the smile on Mei Ruo’s face becomes a little embarra.s.sing. She thinks for a while and asks, “Miss Xia, are you free tomorrow evening? Would you like to eat dumplings at my house? I’ve just come back to C City and rent an apartment. When Commander and I come back from work, we can pick you up by the way.”
Xia Ning is stunned. What Mei Ruo says seems to tell that she is the third person…
“No…”
“Yes. Of course.” Xia Ning interrupts Yi Yunrui, “Commissar Mei must cook well. I haven’t had dumplings for a long time.”
Yes, after her mother pa.s.sed away, she does have never had any dumplings again.”
When she was a little girl, she liked dumplings best. Her grandmother and mother often cooked dumplings for her. Each time, she ate a lot.
“OK. See you tomorrow evening.” Mei Ruo stands up, “I have to go to the Military Region for my arrival. Commander, Miss Xia, I will see you tomorrow evening.”
“See you.”
Seeing the leaving of Mei Ruo, Xia Ning feels her heart is cold. This woman is fatally attractive. Which man can ever resist such an excellent woman?
She holds her coffee and has a sip, “Commissar Mei… is gorgeous.”
“Yes, she is.” Yi Yunrui responds. He strokes her head with his big hand, “Why do I hear some sense of jealousy?’
Xia Ning rolls her eyes, “Who is jealous? No such thing.”
Yi Yunrui blinks his eyes, “Hum. That is good. So why do you agree to have dinner at her house tomorrow evening? Did you imply that your husband didn’t cook well?”
Xia Ning blinks her eyes and shakes her head, “No. I didn’t. You cook very well. But I was thinking that since Commissar Mei invited us, and I hadn’t had dumplings for a long time, I would like to go.” Xia Ning pauses and continues, “Is it inconvenient for you? If so, we will not go.”
“You fool.” Yi Yunrui touches her face gently, “As long as you like, I will be with you. Whatever you want to eat from now on, you can tell me frankly. I will cook for you once I have time.”
Xia Ning feels warm in her heart. As the wife of Yi Yunrui, she shall be the one to say so.
She curls her lips and seriously says, “I am suddenly aware that I am not a qualified wife. Will the Commander consider changing one?”
Hearing this, Yi Yunrui’s face at once darkens. He holds her hand so hard that Xia Ning aches and takes a cold breath.
“It aches…” Xia Ning cries out in a low voice. Why is the Army Commander easily enraged?
“Ning, all my life, I, Yi Yunrui, have only one wife, that is you. You will not say so ever again. Will you?” Yi Yunrui says in a low voice. There are some vague emotions rolling in his eyes.
As if a hammer hits on Xia Ning’s heart heavily and makes a loud crash, Xia Ning is shocked. “All my life, I, Yi Yunrui, have only one wife, that is you…” the words echo in her mind again and again.
They stare at each other. At last, Xia Ning blushes and turns her head to away take a sip of coffee. She senses that the commander still keeps staring at her.
