Chapter 396 No One Can Save You. (1/2)
“Jing Shu, how long have you been working here?”
Jing Shu feels surprised. She turns nervous at once, “It will have been a month in a few days.”
Xia Ning said that her probation period would be a month. She asks the question now. Is Xia Ning going to decide whether she can stay here or not?
“In a few days…” Xia Ning thinks for a while. She feels a little upset.
Everything seems to go against Jing Shu. Xia Ning feels uncomfortable in her heart. She knows that she should not make emotional decisions. But she can’t convince herself.
“Jing Shu, you may have a vacation for the rest of the days.”
Jing Shu feels shocked to hear Xia Ning’s words!
Have a vacation?
To have a long vacation or a short one? What does Xia Ning mean?
“Sister Xia, I don’t understand what you mean.”
Xia Ning purses her lips. She says word by word, “The probation is over. You may leave.”
“!” Hearing this, Jing Shu is shocked blankly, “Sister Xia, did I do anything wrong? Please tell me. I can make corrections. Don’t I still have some days…”
“No. You may go home.” Jing Shu did very well at work. If Xia Ning disregards the scruples and suspicions about her, Jing Shu is totally a very considerate girl at work. Xia Ning can’t find any reasons to fire her. To be honest, she is unwilling to tell Jing Shu to leave. She says, “It is late. You may collect your things and go home.”
Then, Xia Ning turns around to leave.
“Sister Xia!” Jing Shu cries in a loud voice, “OK. Even if you tell me to leave, you have to tell me what I did is wrong. I don’t want to leave in confusion.”
Xia Ning hesitates. The scene in the car pops up in her brain. She clenches her hands, “You are unsuitable to stay by me. This is the reason.”
Then, she doesn’t wait for any responses from Jing Shu. She leaves the office at once.
It is dark. There is light from every house outside the window. Xia Ning gives a sigh. She feels very uncomfortable.
Twenty minutes have passed. She thinks that the girl must have left.
She glances at the time. It is half past seven. She wonders whether Rui has got rid of the problem.
No matter how the information was disclosed, she has to bear the responsibility.
At the time, Xia Ning’s phone rings. It is Yi Yunrui. Xia Ning presses the answer button, “Darling, have you found out who disclosed the information? If it is really my fault, please don’t shield me. I should bear the responsibility on my own…”
“Sweetheart, come downstairs. Let’s go home.”
She has not finished her words when Yi Yunrui interrupts tenderly.
Yi Yunrui is downstairs? Xia Ning stands up at once. She sees the black monsterous car through the window. She smiles sweetly, “Hum. I am going down.”
When Xia Ning comes out, Jing Shu has left. However, nothing seems to have changed on Jing Shu’s desk. Xia Ning feels her heart tightened. She turns to go downstairs.
She can’t give in!
She hasn’t got to the car when the door of the car is opened. Yi Yunrui looks sincerely at her and holds out his hand towards her.
Xia Ning smiles. She holds Yi Yunrui’s hand. She has just got to the car while he forcefully draws her. She turns and falls into his warm embrace at once.
“Why didn’t you go home? You worked overtime?”
The deep voice sounds like the music from an ancient zither which seems to draw her lost in it. Xia Ning quietly leans on Yi Yunrui’s chest like a kitten, “No, I felt worried. Were you punished?”
“Don’t worry. I am fine.” Yi Yunrui gently kisses her forehead, “Are you hungry? Do you like to eat outside or go home? I can make you dinner.”
“You must be tired after being so busy. Don’t make the dinner yourself. Shall we go to have sushi?”
“Hum. Yes, if you like.”
Xia Ning is in a bad mood because of what happened earlier in the evening. She is eating the food she likes, but she doesn’t eat much. Yi Yunrui feels worried to see that. He continuously picks the sushi she likes for her. They pack a lot of food with them when they go home.
“I am full. We have packed too much food. We can’t finish it. It will be a waste to throw it away.”
“I will eat up those you can’t finish.”
“…It will make you sick in your stomach.”
Yi Yunrui gently smiles. He presses Xia Ning’s head to his chest, “That will be better than making you hungry.”
Therefore, to avoid making Commander Yi sick in his stomach, Xia Ning eats some more. The rest is really eaten up by Yi Yunrui.”
Luckily, what Yi Yunrui packed to take home is sashimi only. If it is sushi, she is afraid that she will have to run to the toilet more frequently.
Xia Ning is full. She is going to take a bath. Yi Yunrui stops her, “Can we go to bed a little later?”
Xia Ning glances at the time. It is ten. She usually goes to bed at twelve. It is OK to go to sleep a little later. But she doesn’t understand what Yi Yunrui means.
“Sure.”
