Chapter 268 Hit from the Sides
Apparently, Wan Liqing is talking to Xia Ning, while actually, she is saying the words to Yi Yunrui.
She is giving implications. You have such a good husband. Why do you go to work and get in the way of other people?
Xia Ning lifts her eyebrows. She surely understands Wan Liqing’s implication.
Xia Ning mildly smiles. She says calmly, “Men and women are born to help each other. No one has to take care of the other. If one puts herself in very low status, she cannot but always lower her head. I believe my husband doesn’t want me to do that. So, he supports me in my work. I will also support him in everything. Am I right? Rui?”
Yi Yunrui has just finished peeling the apple. He passes it to her and nods.
Wan Liqing feels a little awkward. She wants to rouse the war between Xia Ning and Yi Yunrui. Unexpectedly, they unite to fight against her. She is angry.
Wan Liqing tries hard to put on a smile and launches another plan, “Hum. I also agree with Director Xia. It is hard to find someone as excellent and strong-minded as Director Xia. It is not surprising that Luan pays so much attention to you and obeys you in everything. I really understand that today.”
Xia Ning slightly frowns. Wan Liqing repeats the words several times within ten minutes. Xia Ning doesn’t need to guess what she is thinking in her heart.
“Director Wan, thank you for your praise. However, it is also hard for Director Gu. He has to withstand so many rumors and gossips. He has to keep calm with them. I am not able to do that. Anyway, if we are concerned too much about everything, how can we lead a happy life? Director Wan, do you agree?”
Wan Liqing’s face turns grey. Xia Ning is obviously saying that Wan Liqing is gossiping and creating conflicts.
Wan Liqing feels furious. If she talks back, she is simply admitting her gossiping. If she doesn’t talk back, she has to follow Xia Ning’s direction. Yes or no, she has fallen into Xia Ning’s trap.
Why she didn’t realize that Xia Ning can be such a vicious woman?
Wan Liqing’s face turns grey and pale. Xia Ning sneers in her heart. She continues, “Director has lots of talents in your news department. Entertainment Department isn’t comparable to your department in this aspect. I left some time ago. Now, I have to re-arrange the department. I hope Director Wan can give me some support.”
Wan Liqing slightly twitches her lips. She has the desire to slap Xia Ning.
Isn’t it enough that she has Li Baoer transferred? Does she want to transfer all the people in her News Department?
“Well…well…the News Department is also lack of manpower. We may try out best to support each other. “Wan Liqing tries hard to get the hatred under control and gives a reluctant response.
“Supporting each other is for sure. I know Supervisor Huang and Supervisor Duan are senior employees. I will learn from them when I have time. I hope Director Wan don’t take it wrong at that time.” Saying this, Xia Ning holds out her hand to pat on Wan Liqing’s hand and smiles brightly.
Wan Liqing grits her teeth. The woman is asking for more.
“Surely I won’t. It is good to exchange ideas.”
Xia Ning looks at Wan Liqing’s smile, which looks uglier than cry. Xia Ning almost bursts into laughter. It is enough. She is going to stop it, “Director Wan, thank you for coming to see me. Director Wan is my senior. I may ask you for instructions in the future. If I do anything wrong, I hope you can forgive me.”
Wan Liqing blinks her eyes, “You are flattering me.”
Xia Ning and Wan Liqing talk for another while and Wan Liqing leaves. Xia Ning looks at the fruit brought by Wan Liqing. She suddenly asks, “Rui, do you think the fruit is poisoned?”
Yi Yunrui can’t help laughing. He strokes her hairs, “I don’t think she dares do that.”
Xia Ning takes up a big Sunkist orange and passes it to Yi Yunrui, “Rui, I haven’t had Sunkist orange for a long time. Help me peel it.”
Yi Yunrui nods. He takes over the orange and starts peeling. When he lowers his head, his eyes gleam!
He knows that Wan Liqing said the words on purpose, but he took them to heart.
When he heard that Gu Luan obeyed Ning in everything, he was jealous.
Yi Yunrui finishes the peeling. He passes the orange to Xia Ning. He looks at her eating the orange. He slowly clenches his fists. “Patiently”, he waits for Xia Ning to eat up the orange and holds her all of a sudden.
Xia Ning is shocked by the sudden action of Yi Yunrui. She cries and holds him tightly, “What happens?”
Yi Yunrui mysteriously smiles, “Ning, I want to love you now!”
Xia Ning mildly changes her color and shakes her head, “The doctor said we need to wait for two days. You…”
“It is fine. I will be gentle.” Yi Yunrui says and holds her to the bedroom. He puts her on the bed. Before she collects herself, he has crouched on her. He smiles meaningfully, “Don’t worry, I will be gentle.”
Xia Ning blushes. She hands to press on his chest. She feels his strong and powerful heartbeats. She is surrounded by the fresh but thick fragrant of the man. Her heart suddenly beats rapidly.
“No…Ah…” With the last drop of consciousness, she wants to get away from his control. Yi Yunrui crouches down and kisses fall as rain on her body…
She feels lost. The words she wants to speak has changed to be sweet murmurs…
Then, Xia Ning lies on the bed for another day.
Basically, she asked for a three-day leave, while she spent two and a half days on the bed.
During the three days, Yi Yunrui completely shows the toughest aspect of him as a man. Xia Ning can’t resist that. She has to withstand it honestly.
Xia Ning feels tired. However, she has to admit that it feels great.
Anyway, as to Commander’s hard-working, she vaguely knows something. The man has a plan!
Until the third night, Yi Yunrui stops. He holds Xia Ning the whole night and will not loosen her. Xia Ning feels that on the lower part of the strong body embracing her, there is something hard and it keeps standing up for a long time.
The man embraces her and murmurs for the whole night.
Her heart is tightened for a night, too.
Seemingly, if Commander Yi fails to control himself, she must need to ask for another leave of days.
On the fourth day morning, she is woken up by Commander Yi.
Then she remembers that Commander Yi announced that he would send her to work and pick her up after work from then now. He would be her exclusive bodyguard.
Xia Ning looks at the breakfast of all kinds of styles and Yi Yunrui, who wears an army uniform. She feels that she is enjoying a treatment for a queen.
So, she dares not make any delay.
She brushes her teeth and does the washing and dressing quickly. Then, she rushes to the table to eat fast.
“Don’t worry. We still have time.” Compared with Xia Ning’s “can’t wait”, Yi Yunrui is much easier. He sits there and reads the newspaper quietly.
“I have got plenty of time. What are you?” Xia Ning lifts to ask.
Yi Yunrui turns the paper to another page, “Me, too. You take it easy. Don’t get yourself choked.”
Xia Ning hesitates. She feels Yi Yunrui kind of strange. She lowers her head to continue with her breakfast.
Xia Ning drinks a bowl of soya-bean milk and has some bread. Then they go downstairs. Zhang Hai is standing at the gate of the military compound. He looks quite nervous.
“Commander, Mrs. Yi, good morning.” Zhang Hai salutes.
Yi Yunrui nods and holds Xia Ning to get in the car. On the way, Yi Yunrui doesn’t speak. Zhang Hai seems to drive much faster than usual.
Xia Ning instinctively feels something unusual.
“It seems that the car goes… faster than usual.” Xia Ning tentatively says.
Yi Yunrui pauses. He tells Zhang Hai, “Drive stably.”
“Yes, Sir!” Zhang Hai responds loudly. He feels a little helpless.
There is a half-monthly meeting today. All the commanders are already there waiting for Yi Yunrui for the meeting.
Zhang Hai glances at the time. It is already twenty minutes late.
He really can’t imagine that the punctual commander can spoil his wife to this stage.
He even told Zhang Hai to drive slowly just now…
“Ah. I don’t mean that.” Xia Ning waves her hand, “I just want to ask whether there is anything urgent.”
“No.” Yi Yunrui responds decisively.
Yi Yunrui doesn’t speak and Xia Ning says nothing. They quietly sit on the seats.
When Xia Ning arrives at the Media Building and gets off. Yi Yunrui says to her, “I will come to pick you up in the evening.”
Xia Ning wants to say something. However, she remembers that Yi Yunrui is stubborn. So, she swallows the words and nods.
Yi Yunrui sees his wife going into the Media Building. Then, he says, “Go back to the military region at once.”
“Yes, Sir!” Zhang Hai gets the order. He is excited and presses the accelerator forcefully. The car roars away.
Xia Ning sees Knight XV rushing away like a satellite. She feels shocked.
Obviously, there is something urgent!
Xia Ning goes back to the company. She is just going into her office when Li Baoer comes to give her a hug.
“Ah, my lady, you finally come back!”
Xia Ning is hugged in public. She twitches her lips and makes a cough, “Miss Li, do you need to be so passionate?”
“My boss is back. I surely need to show a warm welcome!” Li Baoer responds with certainty. She pats forcefully on Xia Ning’s back.
Xia Ning is almost hurt. She rolls her eyes at Li Baoer, “How are you these days? Are there any problems at work?”
Li Baoer shakes her head, “There is surely nothing serious. Thank you for your appreciation, Director Xia. I will really work hard to do well, even if I may risk my life …”
“That’s enough!” Xia Ning interrupts, “If you risk your life, Colonel Dai will come to me. What should I do?”
When Dai Zhongheng is mentioned, Li Baoer feels her heart softened. She sweetly smiles, “I am just kidding.”
“Well, did you go to see Zhenzhen recently?”
“Oh. That girl stays at my home these days. She is smart and obedient. She even knows how to cook. God! I really have never met such an obedient child. If only Zhongheng and I can have such a kid.” Li Baoer says with expectation. However, she neglects the uneasy expression on Xia Ning’s face.
