Chapter 66 What Can I Do for You?
As said by Yi Yunrui, there are all kinds of hotels and restaurants on both sides of the street. People come and go busily. It is prosperous.
It is dinner time and almost all the hotels are fully occupied. At last, Xia Ning chooses a restaurant with fewer people.
It is a seafood restaurant with high-grade decoration. There is a Leopaard vehicle in eye-catching army green in front of the restaurant.
There are fewer guests here, but it doesn’t mean that the foods are not good. It is just because that the prices here are comparatively higher than that of other restaurants. So, by comparison, there are fewer guests.
There are not many tables available. Xia Ning and Yi Yunrui are arranged to sit at a corner.
They are worried about that the seat may be taken by others. So, Xia Ning stays when Yi Yunrui goes with the clerk to choose the seafood.
Xia Ning looks at Yi Yunrui from far and finds that he is very attractive no matter what he wears. He is perfectly good-looking.
Unconsciously, she gets lost in the watching.
“Hey, aren’t you Xia Ning?”
As the sound is heard, someone puts her hands on Xia Ning’s shoulder, followed by the rich smell of fragrance.
Xia Ning turns her head and sees a woman by her side. She is about twenty-three or twenty-four years old with a hot body and pretty face, gussied up.
It seems that she has met this woman somewhere before…
“Are you…” Xia Ning asks. She tries to remember but fails.
“Whoops, do you forget me so soon? I am Yun!” Seeing that Xia Ning is still confused, the woman continues, “Li Yun. I used to work in TIME!”
Li Yun!
It all clicked. Li Yun, who failed to seduce the boss and was fired.
Li Yun has a good-looking face, but now her dresses up like a street girl.
“Oh, Li. Why are you here? Where do you work in?”
Li Yun slows her smile, “I am here to meet my customer. He is in the VIP balcony upstairs. Why are you here alone? Where is Ou Yixuan?”
“Editor Ou is married. I parted from him months ago.” Xia Ning says indifferently. Her heart doesn’t ache so badly as before when mentioning the name of Ou Yixuan.
“He is married!” Li Yun is surprised, “Oh, well, I heard about this several months ago and I thought that it was kidding. Ah, men. How can they do that?”
Xia Ning smiles, “It is nothing. He is married and I wish him happiness.”
“So, are you here alone?”
Xia Ning shakes her head, “No. I am with my husband.”
Li Yun is shocked, “You husband? So, are you married?”
Xia Ning blushes and nods.
“Congratulations!” Li Yun glances outside and asks, “Where is your car?”
Xi Ning is puzzled, “I didn’t come by car. We walked here.”
Hearing this, Li Yun changes her face and sneers, “How can you not have a car? Weren’t you quite rich when in TIME? Even though Ou Yixuan got married, shouldn’t he also make arrangement for you?”
Aware of Li Yun’s strange tone, Xia Ning glances at Yi Yunrui, “I have nothing to do with Ou Yixuan. He knows nothing about me.”
Li Yun blinks her eyes, a drop of evil light crossing there. She smiles, “Xia Ning, would you give me your phone number? We can look after each other in C city.”
Xia Ning has a think and takes out her phone. She keys in a series of numbers and passes it to Li Yun, “This is my number. Call me when you have time.”
Li Yun notes the number down and smiles, “Are you going to stay at C city permanently?”
“Hum. What’s your number?”
Li Yun strokes her hairs and points to the second floor, “My customer is waiting for me there. I will call you later.”
Xia Ning nods, “OK.”
Li Yun turns her back. She waggles her rump wildly and goes upstairs.
Looking at Li Yun’s back, Xia Ning feels that there is something wrong.
“Who is she?” Yi Yunrui asks. He strokes her hairs with his big hand.
Xia Ning gives a helpless look. Why do they both like to show up suddenly…
“She was my colleague in TIME. Her name is Li Yun.”
Yi Yunrui sits down and takes a sip of the hot tea. He says slowly, “Ning, try not to contact her in the future.”
“Why?”
Yi Yunrui leans to her. He says by her ear in a low voice, “Public relation worker.”
Hearing the words, Xia Ning is stunned for a few seconds and at last understands what he means. She blushes and is shy. She strokes her head, “Oh. OK. Well, how do you know that?”
Yi Yunrui looks at her quietly with a faint smile in his eagle-sharp eyes.
Xia Ning finds her childish to ask the question. Yi Yunrui knows much more than she does and he can identify things at one glance. She is stupid to ask the question.
It is a little awkward. Xia Ning changes the topic, “Rui, does the army vehicle in front of the gate belong to the C Military Region?”
Yi Yunrui nods, “It belongs to Artillery Regiment.”
“Oh.” Xia Ning smiles, “Soon, the soldiers will come down. Will they recognize that you are their commander?”
“No. They won’t.” Yi Yunrui answers shortly.
Xia Ning lifts her eyebrows. He really has no sense of humor, “Why are you sure about this?”
“They don’t expect that I will be here and they have never seen me in this look.”
Xia Ning blinks her eyes. It sounds reasonable.
Soon, the seafood are served. A big grouper, a lobster, a dish of geoduck, a dish of abalones and some white shellfishes. Xia Ning is shocked by the scene.
So many foods for two people. That is abnormally too much and a waste of food.
“Well…” Xia Ning points at the foods, “If been seen by your superior, will this be set as a bad example?”
Yi Yunrui smiles mildly, “I will say it is my wife’s treat.”
Xia Ning twitches her eyebrows…
These foods will cost at least hundreds of yuan. Though they are rich now, they should not be extravagant.
“We cannot eat so much food. Next time, will you order fewer?”
“OK.” Yi Yunrui responds and picks a piece of lobster to her bowl, “I will, next time.”
Xia Ning takes a bite. It is very fresh. She finds that Yi Yunrui smiles and just looks at her eating. She picks a piece of fish for him too, “You eat some too.”
Yi Yunrui nods, “Ning, will you promise me one thing?”
“Is it a request exchanged with this dinner?” Xia Ning teases.
Yi Yunrui shakes his head, “It is not a deal.”
Xia Ning has a think, “Tell me first. I will think about it.”
Yi Yunrui picks another abalone for her, “Ning, though we are not very rich, your husband will make money to support you. In the future, you can buy whatever you like. You don’t need to save money for your husband. OK?”
Hearing this, Xia Ning is moved. Honestly, ever since they got married, she has never done anything for Yi Yunrui. Instead, he always tries his best to care for her and love her. She feels quite guilty.
Xia Ning thinks for a while and puts down the chopsticks. Seriously, she responds to Yi Yunrui, “OK. I promise. I will not save money. But Rui, what can I do for you?”
