Chapter 135 Confusion
The next day, Xia Ning wakes up very early.
As a matter of fact, though she was tired, Xia Ning hardly fell asleep during the night.
Yi Yunrui is going to leave at 4 AM. Before he leaves, Xia Ning clenches her fists tightly under the quilt and closes her eyes. She doesn’t dare to open her eyes. She is afraid that she may not withstand his leaving.
She is afraid that Yi Yunrui may see that she is unwilling to let him go and he will be worried about her.
However, she knows that Yi Yunrui sits in front of the bed and stares at her for quite a while. And then he gives her an intense kiss on her forehead.
Xia Ning hears that the door is closed and she opens her eyes. She curls her lips, feeling mildly sad in her heart.
It is a regular yearly military exercise and she has been telling herself to treat it as a routine, but at this moment, she just can’t do it.
She gives a light sigh. Xia Ning envies Mei Ruo. If only she herself was Yi Yunrui’s commissar! No matter where Yi Yunrui goes, she would be with him.
When she was with Ou Yixuan in the past. She knew that she clung to him. She finds that she becomes more clinging now.
Xia Ning can’t fall asleep. She sits and feels her body aching.
Last night, it seemed that he couldn’t get his desire satisfied. He held her and kept telling her by her ear that he loved her.
She doesn’t remember the time at which they finally stopped making love.
She was exhausted and fell asleep.
Xia Ning glances at the time. It is past four in the early morning. She really can fall asleep. So, she walks to the living room in her pajama.
There she finds lots of various foods on the table with labels, which are instructions written by Yi Yunrui.
Xia Ning thinks for a while and goes to open the fridge. As expected, the fridge is stuffed with foods, each of which with a label of instruction.
Seemingly, Commander Yi has prepared the foods for a month for her.
Xia Ning looks at all these and feels very moved.
He is really considerate to her.
Unconsciously, Xia Ning takes out her phone and excitedly sends a message to Yi Yunrui, “Darling, I will take care of myself. Don’t worry. I will be good and waiting for you to come home.”
She sends out the message and at once feels regretful, thinking that Yi Yunrui may be still on the way.
A few seconds later, Yi Yunrui replies to her: Sweetheart. I love you.
Xia Ning feels sweet. She smiles and puts the phone on her chest. She takes a deep breath and responds in her heart: Darling, I love you, too.
Carrying her phone, Xia Ning goes back to the bedroom and lies down on the bed. She can still smell the fresh fragrance left by Yi Yunrui, which makes her feel comfortable.
She gently strokes the pillow of him and buries her head into it. Xia Ning closes her eyes...
On the way to her office, Xia Ning drops by to see Li Baoer. Baoer looks much better today. The doctor says that she can leave the hospital after resting for another week. Li Baoer’s parents will stay at C City to look after their daughter. With them here, Xia Ning feels very relieved.
Xia Ning gets to her office at half past nine. There is a daily meeting at eight every morning. Xia Ning hurriedly gets her files prepared and goes to the meeting room.
The regular meeting is nothing more than summarizing their experience and arranging their work. Gu Luan is always very efficient at work. The meeting takes only half an hour.
Xia Ning comes back to her office. Wan Liqing brings a cup of sweet cappuccino to her. Xia Ning says “Thank you.”
“Director Xia, I saw your husband the day before yesterday. He is a nice man. It seems that he loves you very much.”
When Yi Yunrui is mentioned, Xia Ning feels sweet. She doesn’t deny, “Hum. He is very kind to me.”
Wan Liqing blinks her eyes and strokes her hairs, “Director Xia, you are really awesome. To be honest, I envy you and your husband very much.”
Xia Ning is surprised. She remembers what she saw between Wan Liqing and Gu Luan. She then smiles mildly, “Thank you.”
Wan Liqing is surprised to see Xia Ning react so casually. She changes the topic, “Tomorrow, Director Xia is going to B City. Do you have any other things that you want me to do?”
Xia Ning thinks for a while. It is right. She is going to B City, where Yin Jingsi will be waiting for her.
What else to do? She would rather say what prevention to take.
“There is nothing else. You only need to follow up the work in these days.”
“OK. Director Xia, I may go out to work.” Wan Liqing turns to leave.
Xia Ning takes up the coffee and has a sip of it. She lifts her eyebrows.
The coffee is quite sweet.
It seems that the coffee made by Wan Liqing tends to become sweeter and sweeter.
At the time, Xia Ning’s phone rings. Xia Ning glances at it and frowns.
It is Yin Jingsi.
Xia Ning presses the answer button, “Hello, Miss Yin.”
“Xia Ning, when will you arrive in B City?” Yin Jingsi asks straightly.
Xia Ning glances at her schedule, “I book the ticket of 3:00 PM tomorrow. Miss Yin, your exclusive interview is set at three o’clock the next day. You are asking about the time. Is there any problem in the arrangement?”
Yin Jingsi pauses at the other end of the phone, “No. I just want to have a check. Xia Ning, please don’t misunderstand. I am good with my husband now. We are getting along well. Thanks for your help. As regards what happened between you and me in the past, let’s put it in the past. I am calling you now because I want to double check the content of the exclusive interview to see whether there are any problems. After all, L’ Oreal pays great attention to this exclusive interview.
“OK. Miss Yin can arrange a time. I will try my best.”
“You may come directly to my office after you get off the plane tomorrow. Is that OK?”
“OK. Then, I will get to your company around four tomorrow.”
“OK. That’s all. Bye.”
Yin Jingsi finishes her words and hangs up. Xia Ning takes her phone at hand, feeling a little confused.
Are Ou Yixuan and Yin Jingsi getting along well now?
Ou Yixuan waited for her in front of the military compound the other day. Did he get it over after he went back?
Xia Ning feels unsure in her heart. It is really unbelievable.
At the moment, Xia Ning’s phone rings again. It is a message from Yi Yunrui.
Xia Ning is excited. She clicks it to read.
The message is very short with only a few words: Sweetheart, I am leaving.
It is so short. Seemingly the time is tight. Xia Ning hurriedly replies: Noted. Safe journey.”
Yi Yunrui doesn’t reply. Xia Ning curls her lips and puts down the phone.
She turns on her computer and reads the draft for Yin Jingsi’s exclusive interview. Soon, the phone rings again.
Is Yi Yunrui calling?
Hurriedly, Xia Ning takes up the phone and looks at the screen. Her heart jumps!
Her mother-in-law Zheng Yao is calling.
The phone is ringing. Xia Ning takes several deep breaths and gets mentally prepared. Then, she presses the answer button and tries her best to make herself sound gentle, “Hi, Mom...”
