Chapter 320 It Is Her Turn to Take the Initiative
Xia Ning feels her heart jump up when she hears the word Beijing.
If she goes to Beijing, she will get very close to Rui!
However, the joy she feels disappears very soon.
Everyone told her that she should not go to other places at present. If she goes to Beijing, she may bring some disadvantages to Rui!
“Well…May I have some time to think it over? Ms. Tang makes great success. If I don’t carry out the interview well this time, I will bring trouble to World Era Weekly.”
Lei Weiwei flashes her eyes. She nods, “OK. You may think about it and tell me your decision tomorrow.”
Without saying anything else, Leng Weiwei directly turns around to leave the office.
Xia Ning glances at the time. There is still one hour to go for her to get off work. She used to hope for early leave because Yi Yunrui was at home. He always made the house tidy and clean and prepared delicious food to wait for her.
However, it is empty at home now. Suddenly, she feels very lonely and sad.
Not knowing from what time, she has got used to relying on him. She relies on him very much. She can’t remember the last date when she cleaned her house. She only remembers that every time when she woke up, he had got everything ready.
She was not a good wife. She only asked for things and enjoys them. If she were Yi Yunrui, she believes that she would not be able to be as considerate as Yi Yunrui.
Now, something happens to him. She can’t but wait here helplessly. She can do nothing!
Xia Ning feels her heart badly twitched and her eyes turn red.
Darling, I am sorry!
Xia Ning has a simple supper and lies in her living room to watch TV absent-mindedly.
She can smell his flavor in the house. It is a kind of fragrance that makes her feel safe. She will not get bored with it all life.
At this time every day, she was always lying on his embrace to freely enjoy his gentleness and tenderness.
Xia Ning closes her eyes. Tears flow down to her cheeks coldly.
She feels that she herself is really useless.
It is not surprising that her mother-in-law doesn’t like her. Now, even she herself doesn’t like herself.
At the time, her phone rings.
It is Yi Yuntian calling.
“Brother.”
“I heard from Weiwei that you refused the task to have the interview in Beijing. Did you?”
Xia Ning nods, “I was afraid that I might influence Rui and bring some trouble to him.”
“It is all right. You may go to Beijing.”
Xia Ning feels surprised. She brightens her eyes, “Can I go to Beijing?”
“Hum. If the management has enough evidence, not only Rui, you are not to stay in C City, either. Now, Rui only goes to Beijing to report for his duty. You don’t need to worry that you may bring any trouble to him. Ning, you must trust Rui. Do you understand?”
Yi Yuntian’s words are just like a kind of powerful cardiotonic for Xia Ning. She feels happy and gets her strength at once. She responds, “I see. Brother, thank you for your reminding.”
When Xia Ning hangs up, the bell rings. Xia Ning confusedly goes to the door. Someone speaks in a loud voice, “Ning, please open the door!”
It is Li Baoer.
Xia Ning opens the door. Li Baoer carries a lot of food. She is shouting, “Let me pass. Goods arrive.”
Li Baoer hurriedly comes in, followed by Dai Zhongheng.
“Hi, Colonel Dai.”
Dai Zhongheng nods. He comes in. He sees Li Baoer change her shoes and rush to the kitchen. He helpless shakes his head, “There are so many things. Baoer insisted in carrying them herself. She said that she would make a delicious meal for you.”
“Oh, where is Zhenzhen?”
“She stays with my father.”
Xia Ning slightly hesitates. She asks in a low voice, “Does anything go on well?”
“Yes. Zhenzhen asked for that. She said that she wanted to stay with my father.”
Xia Ning nods. Zhenzhen is really a nice girl. She has her own idea.
Xia Ning makes some tea for Dai Zhongheng. Then, they go to the kitchen together.
Li Baoer is walking around in the kitchen. The rubbish bin is full of rubbish. What they bought is all seafood.
Li Baoer sees Xia Ning. She says, “You two don’t come here. I said that I will be in charge of cooking. And,” Li Baoer turns to Xia Ning, “don’t tell me you have eaten. I haven’t had anything. And all I have here is seafood. You can have some even you have had supper already. You two may go to the living room. Don’t stay here to disturb me.”
Xia Ning wants to respond, but Li Baoer pushes her out of the kitchen. Xia Ning and Dai Zhongheng look at each other. Helplessly, they come back to the living room.
After they chat casually for a while, Dai Zhongheng sips the tea and says slowly, “Mrs. Yi, I may leave for some time soon.”
Xia Ning feels surprised, “Why? Are you going to leave with Baoer?”
“No, the central government assigned a very important task to me. I may need to leave China for some time.”
Xia Ning instinctively feels something wrong.
Someone with an identity like Dai Zhongheng is not supposed to go abroad. Now, the central government assigns the task…It is imaginable how dangerous it will be.
“Does Baoer know it?”
Dai Zhongheng nods, “Yes. She didn’t say anything, but she is obviously unwilling to accept it. I want to cancel the wedding ceremony we planned to have next month.
Xia Ning is confused, “Cancel? Why?”
Wait. Can the task be really…
Dai Zhongheng lifts to look at the kitchen. After a while, he gives a sigh, “Baoer is a good girl. I don’t want to hurt her by influence.”
Xia Ning feels her heart tightened!
Seemingly, even Dai Zhongheng himself is not sure about the safety of the task. There must be a great possibility of losing his life.
Xia Ning wants to ask more details about the task. However, she knows that Dai Zhongheng is not going to tell her or Baoer.
It is arranged by the country and to be carried out by a person.
Xia Ning is aware of the unwilling expression on Dai Zhongheng’s face. She wants to ask whether he can refuse the task.
However, she knows that it is impossible.
Dai Zhongheng is an army man. To obey orders is the duty of army men.
Especially when it is to protect the country, army men can’t but scarify themselves to complete the mission.
“Does Baoer…know anything about the postponing of the wedding?”
Dai Zhongheng thinks for a while and responds, “I haven’t told her my decision so far. It is not the right time.”
Dai Zhongheng clenches his hands. Xia Ning realizes the worry in his heart. It is not because it is not the right time, but because he hasn’t been prepared yet. He is unwilling to do that.
Xia Ning gives a sigh. She holds out her hand to pat Dai Zhongheng, “Baoer is the woman you love and care about most. Anything, you’d better discuss together. Don’t bear everything by yourself. It is unfair for Baoer.”
Dai Zhongheng blinks his eyes. He remembers something and he nods, “Mrs. Yi, I see.”
Xia Ning drinks some tea. At the time, they smell the flavor of frying seafood. It arouses their appetite.
“Mrs. Yi, Brother Yi will come back very soon. Don’t worry.”
Xia Ning puts down the cup. She turns to Dai Zhongheng, “Colonel Dai, if I go to meet Rui now, what will happen?”
Hearing this, Dai Zhongheng mildly turns pale. He is just going to respond when Li Baoer carries a big plate of fried crab with ginger and onions to come out from the kitchen. She puts the dish in front of them, “It is freshly done. Have some when it is warm. There is still quite some other seafood. They will be ready soon!”
Then, she runs back to the kitchen at once.
Xia Ning takes up the chopsticks to pick a crab claw for Dai Zhongheng, “It is cooked by Baoer. You may taste it first.”
Dai Zhongheng blinks his eyes. As if he remembers something, he asks, “Mrs. Yi, you know what happens to Brother Yi?”
Xia Ning nods.
Dai Zhongheng frowns, “Does Brother Yuntian tell you that?”
Xia Ning shakes her head. Dai Zhongheng wants to ask something again. Xia Ning slightly lifts her hand, “Colonel Dai, no matter how, I have known what happens to Rui. I know very clearly.”
Dai Zhongheng hesitates. He feels very confused. It is supposed to be confidential. If Yi Yunrui didn’t tell Xia Ning himself, how could she know about it?”
After quite a while, Dai Zhongheng says, “Mrs. Yi, do you really want to go to Beijing to see Brother Yi?”
Xia Ning thinks for a while, “I am really going to Beijing. But I am not sure whether I can see Rui.”
“Mrs. Yi, to be honest, what happens to Brother Yi is just like a stone. What I am afraid of is that the stone may cause waves and get a lot of troublesome things involved. Mrs. Yi, you may stay at home to wait for the news. I believe Brother Yi will solve the problem with his ability.”
Solve the problem with his ability…That is sure.
She is very clear about Rui’s ability. However, if she can’t but helplessly wait here…
At the time, Baoer carries a plate of fried shellfish and a plate of green mussels. She wipes her hands, “There is a steamed grouper to come soon. Ah, I like cooking seafood. It is delicious anyway.”
Baoer goes to the kitchen. Dai Zhongheng stands up to grasp her hand, “I help you to carry the fish. It is hot. It may hurt your hand.”
“No need.” Li Baoer says and wants to push Dai Zhongheng away. But he grasps her more tightly. She says, “You stay to chat with Ning. It still needs a few minutes for the fish…”
“It is because the fish will be ready soon that I want to go to the kitchen.” Dai Zhongheng responds when he glances at Xia Ning, “Besides, you have used Mrs. Yi’s kitchen. I will clean it up.”
Xia Ning wants to say that it is all right. But she glimpses the expression of Dai Zhongheng. She makes a cough instead, “Yes. It needs to be cleaned up. I am really too lazy to do that.”
“What a joke! Who dare say that you are lazy?” Li Baoer doesn’t understand her meaning for an instant, “I know you well. You are married to a super good husband. However, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you are too lazy to do any housework!”
Li Baoer wants to say something more, but she is held by Dai Zhongheng by her waist. She can’t help crying, “My God! Zhongheng, what are you doing? We are at Ning’s house…”
Dai Zhongheng neglects Li Baoer’s “threat”. He smiles and holds Li Baoer into the kitchen.
Xia Ning looks at the seafood on the table. She remembers that Yi Yunrui often made seafood dishes for her. Suddenly, she seems to think of something.
Is Yi Yunrui afraid that she doesn’t eat? Does he ask Baoer to come to look after her?
Baoer never came to see her with seafood before.
Thinking about this, Xia Ning feels moved. A warm flow goes like electricity through her whole body. Her nose turns red at once.
She is worried about Rui, while Rui is also worried about her!
Rui is more concerned about her than anyone else is.
It all clicked. Xia Ning has an idea.
It is inconvenient for Rui to call her. However, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it is inconvenient for other people to call her!
There is a voice in her heart telling her that Rui is more worried about whether she eats on time and whether she is obediently waiting at home for him.
This time, she needs to be more active.
