Chapter 92 You Can Decide the Amount.
Xia Ning is shocked. She looks at Yi Yunrui confusedly.
She hears very clearly. Yi Yunrui said that he didn’t want to “lose her again”.
Why did he say “again”?
Even if they knew each other before, they were not together.
Xia Ning thinks for quite a while but can’t figure out anything. She gives up and goes to sleep.
However, consciously, she feels that Yi Yunrui hides something from her. She will ask him again when they are free.
The next morning, when Xia Ning wakes up, Yi Yunrui has gone to the Military Region. He left a note for her.
“Sweetheart, I will be busy these days. I won’t come back for supper. But I will try to come home early. Soup is in the kitchen. Your Darling.”
Xia Ning feels sweet, yet, she also feels kind of sad. She puts down the note and gives a light sigh.
She is reminded of that Mei Ruo stays with Yi Yunrui all day long and works with him every day. She feels very uncomfortable.
She knows she is jealous. Rationally, she shouldn’t mind. After all, Mei Ruo works with Yi Yunrui. But the relation between them is still more or less “unclear”. She is uncertain of that.
She won’t let go. However, it is expectable whom Yi Yunrui will choose. Mei Ruo is too excellent. Seemingly Yi Yunrui still has some crush on her. She, Xia Ning, can’t do anything well. What advantages does she have to compare with Mei Ruo?
She gets up. After finis.h.i.+ng dressing and was.h.i.+ng, she goes to the kitchen and smells the delicious flavor.
It is her favorite soup with mushroom, chicken feet and papaya.
She spoons a bowl of soup and drinks slowly. It is still hot since it is just done for a while.
Looking at the tidy house, at this instant, Xia Ning feels like being in a dream.
At the moment, her phone rings. Xia Ning finds it a strange number.
“h.e.l.lo…”
“Xia Ning, this is Yin Jingsi speaking. Can you make some time to have a talk with me? I am in C City now.”
Xia Ning is confused, “What do you want to talk with me?”
She is afraid of Yin Jingyao, but she doesn’t know what kind of person Yin Jingsi is.
“I won’t disturb you long. We can meet at the coffee shop you met with Ou Yixuan last time. Is two o’clock in the afternoon OK for you?”
“Is it about your husband Ou Yixuan?”
“Kind of. It will only take a moment. Please!”
Xia Ning thinks for a while, “Miss Yin, honestly, I don’t think it necessary to have the talk. After all, Ou Yixuan is your husband. I am just an outsider. I am at work. If there isn’t anything important, I don’t think we need to meet.”
Yin Jingsi is silent for a while, “Xia Ning, I have asked your Director Gu Luan and know that you are not at work today. Are you at home? I will wait for you downstairs.”
Xia Ning frowns. It seems that Yin Jingsi will not give up if she can’t meet Xia Ning. Xia Ning says, “OK. Let’s meet there.”
“Hum. Let’s meet at the coffee shop, in half an hour.”
Yin Jingsi hangs up.
Xia Ning is puzzled. Why does Yin Jingsi want to meet her? Yin Jingsi is a daughter of the mayor of B City. She is favored by thousands of people. What can annoy her?
Is it about Ou Yixuan? She has hardly had any contact with Ou Yixuan. What does she meet her for?
With a lot of questions, Xia Ning changes her clothes and drives to Starbucks.
There are not many people in Starbucks in the morning. Yin Jingsi has been waiting for her, sitting at the same table where Xia Ning and Ou Yixuan sat the other day.
“Morning.” Xia Ning greets her and sits down.
Yin Jingsi is more mature and beautiful than before. She looks more like the hostess of the family, which is the most obvious change in her.
“Morning.” Yin Jingsi responds indifferently. It can’t tell what she is thinking about from her expression.
Xia Ning orders a cup of cappuccino and drinks slowly.
For quite a while, Xia Ning doesn’t speak, and Yin Jingsi doesn’t speak either. They sit there silently.
“You have got married. I haven’t sent my congratulations. Sorry. I wish you a happy marriage with Commander Yi. It is late. I hope you don’t mind.”
“Thank you.” Xia Ning responds, “I wonder why Miss Yin wants to meet me. Do you have anything to talk with me?”
Yin Jingsi looks at her for a while and says slowly, “Because of what happened last time, Yixuan received a suspension. Six months later, he went back to TIME, but he was always unhappy. Some time ago, he asked for a long vacation from TIME and planned to relax himself. I was thinking of having a tour with him, but he said it was no need. So, I just let him go. If Yixuan only wanted to stay alone to calm down himself, that was OK. But I found the place he visited most was C City.”
Yin Jingsi pauses here and looks at Xia Ning more sharply, “I couldn’t figure out what he came to C City for, but I kept my eyes open. Some time ago I found he often went to have sus.h.i.+ at Hokkaido Sus.h.i.+ restaurant. I thought that he liked sus.h.i.+. But I realized later that he went there to encounter you.”
Hearing this, Xia Ning is chocked slightly.
“He had been waiting for your appearance. And it led to what happened days ago. Commander Yi called me, telling me where my husband was. I came to the coffee shop and saw you were with him.”
Yin Jingsi said the word “husband” hard. Xia Ning’s eyes darken. She can guess why Yin Jingsi asks her to come here.
Yes, Ou Yixuan is the main topic. She knows it, or, Yin Jingsi has nothing to do with her. She believes that she is n.o.body in front of Yin Jingsi. If not necessary, Yin Jingsi will definitely pay no attention to her.
And Yin Jingsi did have paid no attention to her. One year ago, when they were in TIME, Yin Jingsi only smiled politely to her when they were with other people. In Yin Jingsi’s opinion, Xia Ning was not qualified enough to talk with her.
According to Yin Jingsi, Ou Yixuan has been unusual for one year. Yi Jingsi is really patient. She holds on till now to tell.
“Miss Yin, I think you have some misunderstandings…”
Xia Ning has not finished her words, while Yin Jingsi waves her hand lightly, “I know what happened the other day is a coincidence. I don’t mind. But since that day, Yixuan has been unwilling to come home. Most of the time, I brought him home from pubs. He was always drunk, calling your name.”
Xia Ning lifts her eyebrows. If it were not told by Yin Jingsi, she would never believe it.
It is right, Ou Yixuan doesn’t like to be constricted. If he is bored with his work and goes for a trip to have some peace, it is reasonable. But it is the first time for her to hear that Ou Yixuan got drunk.
And he called her name! Xia Ning sneers in her heart. What is Ou Yixuan doing?
“Though you left B City, but you also took Ou Yixuan’s soul with you. Xia Ning, I am meeting you here today to discuss a deal.” Saying this, Yin Jingsi takes out a cheque from her branded bag and puts it on the table, “I haven’t written the amount in this cheque. You can decide the amount, but you have to promise me one thing.”
