Chapter 45: Gu Luan (1/2)
When Xia Ning wakes up, Yi Yunrui has left.
Looking at the empty by her side, Xia Ning feels lost.
Xia Ning does not know from when she starts to care about Yi Yunrui. She loves him. But she is not sure whether it is a good thing or a bad one.
Her waist and her back ache as if her body collapses. She took the initiative last night. Yi Yunrui agrees to give her thirty days. They are together last night. He tries his best to control himself, but as the wife, she doesn’t think she should ignore his pain…
Remembering what she did last night, Xia Ning blushes and laughs like a fool.
There is a paper under his pillow, telling her that he has gone back to C city and that he boiled some soup for her to drink after getting up. It also tells that Army Doctor Wu will come to see her and she is to behave well and take medicines on time and so on.
All kinds of stuff, important or not, makes a long paragraph.
Some new clothes are put by the bed. She doesn’t know when he bought them.
Xia Ning smiles and shakes her head. It seems that Commander Yi treats her as a little child. She puts down the paper and lies for another while. When she doesn’t feel so tired, she gets up.
She opens the window. It is sunny outside. She glances at the clock and finds it is already past eleven in the morning.
Xia Ning stretches her arms and feels the burden on her shoulders is off and her whole body feels easy.
She goes to the kitchen and smells the flavor of the soup. Commander Yi boiled her favorite soup with papaya, mushroom, chicken feet and peanuts.
It is a big pot of it, enough for her to drink for two days.
Xia Ning cooks some foods and warms the soup. She has a comfortable and relaxed lunch.
Her phone rings. Li Baoer calls.
“Hello, Mrs. Yi. Are you really not going back to TIME?”
Li Baoer’s voice tells that she is bored. Xia Ning smiles, “It is not that I am not going back to TIME, but I am fired. And it is no use for me to go back. I am the thorn in the flesh to many people there.”
“So what? They are too ignorant to identify you. Let me tell you. Yesterday, President Li came to meet me on purpose. He looked at me in the way as if he fell in love with me. It was frightening. However, it is better that you leave. You don’t need to suffer their anger now. But I am very bored. Well, what is your plan?”
“I may leave B city, but not immediately. I will have a rest first…”
“What? Are you leaving?” Li Baoer raises her voice by eight degrees, “No. You cannot do that. How can you be so heartless to drop me alone? We are not done here! Tell me! Where are you going?”
“You gossip girl. Aren’t you at work? It is lunch time. You would sleep like a dead pig normally.”
“You are a pig! Ah, seriously, I don’t want you to leave. Will you don’t leave?”
“You finish your work first. Let’s meet somewhere after work.”
“OK. Then, I will call you before I leave my office. Bye.”
Xia Ning puts down her phone and sits quietly. When she goes to C city, it will be a new start for her. She doesn’t know if she will get used to it.
Through the window, she sees that it is sunny outside. She decides to go out and have a walk.
She will go to her favorite coffee house, the Zhixin Hut.
In the past, she has to fight to make a living and tries to save money with every calculation. Now she has got some money with her. Xia Ning feels easy when she goes shopping.
She never bought small decorative accessories and now she can buy some to please herself.
Slowly walking, Xia Ning stops in front of a brand jewelry store.
In the window, she sees the latest style of platinum and diamond necklaces of the season. Yes, it is the one that Li Baoer has been announcing to buy but can’t bear to do so.
