Chapter 21: Elegant, Luxurious and Top-class! (1/2)
“This is between Rui and me. It’s none of your business!” Yin Jingyao is so furious that she can’t notice the situation at all.
Yi Yunrui frowns. He is fed up with her. He knows that Yin Jingyao is going to be hysterical.
Although she has become the leader of the Art Troupe and holds rank of Major, Yin Jingyao is still unruly and undisciplined. But her title doesn’t allow her to do anything she wants in the troops!
With a cold face, Yi Yunrui exchanges a look with Political Commissar Xue, reaches out to Xia Ning, who is standing behind him, and takes her hand, “Political Commissar Xue, I trust you with the businesses of the troops for the moment. Ning, come with me!”
Being dragged away by Yi Yunrui without listening to her protests, Xia Ning looks behind before leaving, seeing that Yin Jingyao wants to follow them but is stopped by the guards and Political Commissar Xue is calling someone to deal with something.
Seeing Yi Yunrui’s clouded face, Xia Ning’s heartbeat is rising after being thrown into the car.
“Start the car!” with his eyes closed, Yi Yunrui orders Feng Le coldly.
From the military region to the downtown, Yi Yunrui doesn’t say a word. His handsome face is cold and his eyes are closed.
The quiet atmosphere makes Xia Ning uncomfortable. She wants to draw back her hand but it is tightly held by him. She wants to say something but doesn’t know what to say.
In fact, she really wants to know what Yi Yunrui thinks about her conflict with Yin Jingyao.
But she can’t ask him. After all, Yi Yunrui and Yin Jingyao have known each other for eight years. As someone shows up half-way, she has no rights to judge their relationship.
However, considering the character of Yin Jingyao, Xia Ning doesn’t think she will forgive her easily. She has to be well-prepared when she returns to B City this time.
“Is there any news from Mr. Dai?”
After quite a while, Yi Yunrui asks.
“Eh, the interview is at 5 o’clock in the afternoon.”
Yi Yunrui takes a look at the time, “What do you want for lunch?”
“Eh?” Xia Ning responds to him after a while for Yi Yunrui asks an unexpected question, “What time is it now?”
“Five past ten.”
God! He asks her what she wants for lunch at five past ten. She just had her breakfast.
As something occurs to her, Xia Ning says, “Is Commander Yi free today?”
Yi Yunrui glances at her, “I have to go the municipal Party Committee later, but I can send you to the Dai’s in the afternoon.”
Oh. It turns out that he got some businesses outside the military region.
“According to your words, can I have anything I want for dinner?”
“Yes,” Yi Yunrui nods, pauses and says, “anything within my power.”
“Hahaha!” Xia Ning laughs, for Commander Yi thinks of something strange, “If it’s not convenient for you, I can have lunch by myself, since we’re in the downtown now.”
Yi Yunrui quietly looks at her. There is tenderness in his cold eyes, “I’m convenient. I will be with you wherever you go.”
Xia Ning pauses. The way Yi Yunrui looks at her makes her feel that he really loves her.
Xia Ning blushes and turns her face aside, “I don’t want to bother you, Commander. You should put your business at the first place…”
“I’m your husband.” Yi Yunrui’s face clouds over. He reaches out his big hand and turns her little face to his side, “Let me repeat myself one more time. You can whether call me Rui, or husband. There are only two choices.”
His palm is rough because of long-term training. It is powerful. And he looks really good when he is serious.
Now, he is serious to her. She can see herself clearly in his clean eyes.
Xia Ning puffs a little. A strange feeling flows in her heart. It feels like something is sprouting.
“I…”
“Call me husband.” Without waiting for the complete sentence, Yi Yunrui makes a choice for her.
“Ah?”
“Call me husband.” says Yi Yunrui with a firmer tone.
Xia Ning blushes. If there is a hole on the ground, she will jump in without a second thought.
Feeling her hands being held more tightly, Xia Ning hears Commander Yi’s firm voice, “Call me husband.”
“Husband…”
Yi Yunrui narrows his eyes a little, and there is a beautiful raise on his thin lips, “Um, I’m here.”
At this moment, the car stops. Knowing the two on the back seat are flirting, Feng Le feels he shouldn’t interrupt, but they arrive.
“Commander… We’ve arrived at city government.”
Yi Yunrui’s face turns serious. He lets go of Xia Ning’s hand. Xia Ning relieves. But when she is going to draw her hand back, it is held by him again.
Differently, this time there is something in her hand. A bank card.
Xia Ning is confused. Yi Yunrui takes her into his arms and whispers into her ear, “All my savings are in the card. The password is 5201314.”
Surrounded by his warm breath, Xia Ning trembles a little when Yi Yunrui tells her the number.
5201314, which means I love you throughout my life in Chinese!
“Wait for me in the car. It will take no longer than thirty minutes.” Then, Yi Yunrui turns around and speaks to Feng Le, “Give me the car key.”
“Yes, Commander.” Feng Le gives the key of Knight XV to him.
Putting the key in the hand of Xia Ning, Yi Yunrui says, “If you’re bored, you can drive around. Tell me where you go. I’ll go and find you.”
Xia Ning feels warm in the heart, “I’ll wait for you in the car.”
“I’ll come back as soon as possible.” Gently patting her head with his big palm, Yi Yunrui looks at her with dotage.
Seeing Yi Yunrui’s tall and strong figure quickly disappears in the building, Xia Ning puts her hand on her chest and takes a deep breath.
She is so nervous about the inexplicable and ambiguous feeling. Her heart is beating fast.
She has to admit that the charm of the Commander is too much for common people, like her.
Xia Ning makes efforts to calm herself down. She looks at the bank card in her hand and a word pops in her head, “Home”.
Well, she is married. She is a woman who has a husband.
But she is not sure about how long this relationship can last.
Until last month, there is only one man, Ou Yixuan, in her world. But now, everything is changed. She became the commander’s wife. Everyone now surrounding her is rich and has power. Although Yi Yunrui treats her very well for now, she feels insecure.
With little power, she feels like she may be torn into pieces at any time.
Holding tightly the bank card and the car key in her hand, Xia Ning takes a deep breath.
No. Since she has already made her choice, she will never give up!
She only has one life anyway. She isn’t afraid of death!
Thinking of this, Xia Ning puts away Yi Yunrui’s bank card, takes out her phone and begins to play games.
“I’m looking up, on the moon!”
Her phone rings with a loud sound. Xia Ning is shocked. She looks at the number on her phone. It is Ou Yixuan!
Somehow, she gets a sense of foreboding. She presses the answer button with a strange feeling.
“Xia Ning. When can the interview with Mr. Dai be completed?”
“Soon. I still have a few days.”
“Then when can you come back to B City?”
