Chapter 168 Sweetheart, Sorry. (1/2)
Gu Luan drives Xia Ning back to the parking. When Xia Ning gets in her car, Gu Luan suddenly grasps her by her hand.
Xia Ning is shocked. She darkens her face and instinctively throws Gu Luan’s hand away: “Director Gu, what do you want to do?”
Gu Luan is surprised by Xia Ning’s reaction. He feels a little embarrassed: “Sorry. I am too impulsive. I just want to tell you that you don’t have to bear everything by yourself. It may be helpful to have someone to help with some things.”
Xia Ning pauses for a while, saying: “Thank you.”
Then, Xia Ning closes the door and drives away fast.
It is almost eight in the evening when she gets back to the military compound. Xia Ning parks the car and goes upstairs hurriedly.
She doesn’t know whether Yi Yunrui has come back.
She arrives at the door. Before she presses the bell, the door is opened.
Xia Ning hesitates. It seems that Yi Yunrui has got home.
But how can he know that she will get home at this time?
Wait. Did Yi Yunrui see her car through the window?
Xia Ning goes in. She changes her shoes. Then, she sees the lamp in the living room not on. Only the lamp at the entrance is on. It is dark inside. Vaguely, she can see Yi Yunrui’s tall shape sitting in the living room. The air smells like cigarette.
It seems…something is wrong.
Xia Ning is nervous. Does Yi Yunrui know what happened?
Xia Ning closes the door and walks in. She turns on the ceiling lamp: “Why don’t you turn on the lamp?”
Yi Yunrui looks at her. His eyes are sharp and deep, saying: “You are not here. It doesn’t matter whether the lamp is on or not.”
Xia Ning’s heart tightens.
What does he mean?
“Oh…It is different. It is dark without light.” Xia Ning looks around the living room. Except that there is a pile of cigarette butts in the ashtray, it seems nothing changes.
Yi Yunrui is silent. He lights another cigarette.
Xia Ning frowns. She goes to him and grabs the cigarette: “You have had a lot. Don’t smoke. Have you had supper?”
“Have you?”
“I…I have a little.” Xia Ning feels guilty. She pours the cigarette butts into the rubbish bin.
Yi Yunrui looks at Xia Ning. He blinks his eyes: “Have you finished your work?”
Xia Ning is kind of stuck “Hum. Yes. Have you had supper?”
Yi Yunrui doesn’t respond. He holds his phone tightly, as if he is restraining something.
Xia Ning feels very unsure when she sees Yi Yunrui’s reactions. She is very clear about how well-informed Yi Yunrui is. He might have known something.
“I go to cook some noodles. We may have together.” It doesn’t matter whether Yi Yunrui has had any supper. She is not very full and can have an additional meal.
Xia Ning is going to leave. But her hand is caught and drawn forcefully by Yi Yunrui. She cries and falls into his embrace.
“Where did you go just now?”
His eyes are as sharp as that of an eagle which can look deep into her soul directly. At the moment, Xia Ning feels that she can’t hide herself at all. Instead, she is forced to show herself frankly in front of Yi Yunrui.
“My…my company…”
“Don’t mention your company to me!” Yi Yunrui roars to interrupt her. He fails to restrain himself and bursts into a fury, “Why didn’t you tell me that you went for dinner with Gu Luan?”
Xia Ning is shocked: “Did you follow me?”
Yi Yunrui blinks his eyes. The sense of danger makes the temperature around drop as if the air is frozen.
“Follow? Xia Ning, you are my wife! How can you talk to me in this way?”
When he received the call from An Zeyou and learnt about it, he had the desire to shoot Gu Luan to death at once.
It has been twenty years that he has never been so angry ever!
As a matter of fact, An Zeyou’s call is just the fuse. The real cause is the photos in his phone sent by someone unknown, the photos of Xia Ning’s being with Gu Luan!
How…how can it happen?
When he saw the photos, he hesitated. He believed that the truth might not be like what he thought.
But why did she go out with Gu Luan for dinner without telling him!
Yi Yunrui’s eyes are red and blue veins stand out on his temples. He is crazily mad.
Xia Ning’s heart trembles. In the past over two years, he has never spoken hard on her. But he is so furious now.
“I…” Faced with Yi Yunrui’s rage, Xia Ning is almost speechless.
It is right. She hid it from him.
Xia Ning feels guilty and she wants to say “Sorry”, but the photos pop up in her brain and her body can’t help shivering!
“Rui.” Xia Ning takes several breaths to calm down herself and asks tentatively, “Do you believe what is shown in the photos?”
Yi Yunrui pauses. For an instant, he doesn’t know how to respond to Xia Ning.
No. Of course he doesn’t believe that.
But the photos are there. He is so furious that he has the desire to kill Gu Luan.
