Fang Youqi feels even more furious to hear Nie Zhiyuan’s words, “Brother, why do you always think so highly of other people and underestimate yourself? Now, Yi Yunrui has come to my face. Do we just let him go? In your opinion, am I still your family?”
Nie Zhiyuan is aware of Fang Youqi’s unstable emotions. He feels angry but helpless, “Boy, calm down! How old are you? You are still acting like a kid. Your sister really loves you in vain! I warn you. Even if Yi Yunrui comes to your face, you can’t cause any trouble! Figure out what’s wrong first! During the time, behave well!”
Then, Nie Zhiyuan hangs up the phone.
“Brother!” Fang Youqi hasn’t finished his words when he hears the phone beep because of being hung up. He bursts into a fury and forcefully slams the handset on the desk.
Nie Zhiyuan is a great commander of a military region. How can he be such a coward? Fang Youqi simply feels humiliated to have this relative.
Fang Youqi clenches his hands tightly while gritting his teeth.
How can he tolerate the shame?
Yi Yunrui, since you have ruined my fortune source, I won’t give you a break.
We may see who will be the winner!
“Darling, I think I should change the clothes. The cheongsam is very expensive. I am afraid that I may break it.” Xia Ning thinks for a while, “Oh. I left my clothes to Aunt Zhou. There will be a celebration banquet this evening. We may go back to take them back by the way.”
“You may need to drink some wine in the celebration banquet. We’d better go home for supper. I will cook.” Yi Yunrui says. He holds his wife’s hands tightly in his palms.
Xia Ning blinks her eyes, “Well… Is that all right? It was arranged in advance. If I don’t attend it, will Aunt Zhou…”
“I will call Aunt Zhou later. It is all right. Don’t worry.” Yi Yunrui strokes her face, “Don’t worry. What do you want to have for dinner? I will prepare that.”
Xia Ning purses her lips. She surely wants to go home for dinner with her husband. She has been working for so many years, but still she is not used to the business banquets. However, she feels that Yi Yunrui looks a little strange today. Is that because he is jealous?”
If so, that is a lot of jealousy.
“Are you unhappy?” Yi Yunrui notices the confusion on Xia Ning’s face. At the time, his phone rings.
It is Nie Zhiyuan.
Yi Yunrui slightly frowns, wondering what Braggart Nie calls him for at this time.
“Yunrui, is it convenient for you to talk now?”
Yi Yunrui has just pressed the answer button when Nie Zhiyuan says frankly. Yi Yunrui responds, “Yes. You may speak.”
“Well… Ha.” Nie Zhiyuan laughs embarrassedly and says, “Yunrui, I have known you for many years and we have fought all the time. It is what people called knowing each other from fighting. We are friends. Right? I know you well. I may speak frankly. I hope you can also be honest with me. Will you?”
Yi Yunrui lifts his eyebrows. Braggart Nie is good at bragging. He is a sweet talker. But he wants to talk frankly with Yi Yunrui. That is surprising.
Yi Yunrui thinks for a while. He asks, “What’s the matter?”
On the other end of the phone, Nie Zhiyuan gives a sigh, “It is about my naughty brother-in-law, Fang Youqi! He has just been in C City, while he has created a lot of troubles. If I had known what would happen, I would have kept him staying in X City. Yunrui, I know he has some problems with you. However, he is still too young. If he has done anything wrong, I hope you can forgive him. Or, you may come to me directly. I will not deny the responsibility which is supposed to be borne. I only hope that you can give another chance to my foolish relative. Commander Yi, will you?”
Hearing his words, Yi Yunrui slightly lifts his lips. To give Fang Youqi a break? Sometimes, it is not a matter of whether he will or not.
To be honest, ever since Xia Ning was wronged in the military region, he has never planned to give anyone a break.
“This issue is not up to me. Commander Yi, I have given him a chance already.”
Nie Zhiyuan suddenly feels shocked!
What? A chance already?
He wonders whether Yi Yunrui means the previous case related with Gu Luan!
It doesn’t seem possible. The order was issued from the superior directly. How could Yi Yunrui have anything to do with that?
However, …If what Yi Yunrui says is true. This is not a simple case.
Yi Yunrui finds Nie Zhiyuan silent at the other end of the phone. He smells the fragrance of his wife’s hair and continues, “Commander Nie, you know what I care most. I still want to stay in C City for some time. Commander Nie, I may hang up.”
Then, Yi Yunrui hangs up the phone.
Nie Zhiyuan is a clever man. Yi Yunrui has told him clearly enough.
Xia Ning lies in Yi Yunrui’s arms. She listens carefully to their conversation. She lifts to look at Yi Yunrui. She widens her eyes but hesitates to say anything.
“It is Commander Nie.” Yi Yunrui understands what his wife wants to ask. He tells her frankly, “It is about Fang Youqi.”
When Fang Youqi is mentioned, Xia Ning feels her heart sink. The man pointed his gun at Gu Luan. She hates him very much.
“What’s the relation between him and Commander Nie?”
“Commander Nie is the brother-in-law of Fang Youqi. Fang Youqi could come to C City mainly because of Commander Nie.”
Oh. It is not surprising that Commander Nie talks with Yi Yunrui about the case in person.
Xia Ning opens her mouth. But she swallows the words at the tip of her tongue. Information about the military region is confidential. She can’t ask about that.
“Fang Youqi has some inappropriate connections with some people recently. Last time, the police took some actions against illegal societies. Some of the arrested people are related with Fang Youqi. Commander Nie is worried that something may happen. He talks with me in advance.”
Xia Ning looks at Yi Yunrui in surprise. He tells her all about this.
“Darling, is it OK for you to tell me that?”
Yi Yunrui gently smiles, “You are Ning. It is fine.”
Xia Ning feels sweet. She holds Yi Yunrui tightly.
Yi Yunrui buries his face in her hair and smells her fresh fragrance. He closes his eyes with satisfaction.
He wishes that he may stay with her quietly like this all his life…
“Darling, your phone rings.”
Yi Yunrui slightly frowns. He opens his eyes in displeasure. He has the urge to scold the caller.
He takes out the phone. When he sees the number on the screen, he freezes his face. Then, he gently pats on his wife, “Sweetheart, I need to go out to take this. Excuse me.”
“Hum.” Xia Ning responds. She sits up.
Yi Yunrui smiles helplessly. He opens the door of the car and gets off, “Stay here and wait for me.”
Xia Ning smiles to nod. She sees that Yi Yunrui goes some distance away and answers the phone.
Recently, Yi Yunrui seems to receive more and more mysterious calls. She is very worried about him, feeling that something is going to happen.”
Xia Ning has a feeling of uncertainty in her heart. She gives a sigh and lies down on the seat.
What is it?
Xia Ning sees something. She reaches to pick it up. She blinks her eyes and compares it with her own hair.
Seeing the difference, as if she hears thunder, Xia Ning feels shocked blankly!
It is a hair…which is much longer than hers!
It is not hers!
Did another woman ever sit on the seat?
Thinking about this, Xia Ning feels her heart beating more rapidly. As if she is stuck by something, she feels nervous and her brain turns blank.
Maybe she is wrong. However, this hair can’t come from a man.
The hair smells fragrant, which doesn’t come from her perfume or Yi Yunrui’s. Then, who does it belong to?
All kinds of questions pop up in her brain as if they may fall down anytime.
Xia Ning stares at the back of Yi Yunrui who is talking on the phone. She clenches her fists tightly.
Darling… are you hiding anything from me?
“All evidences are ready. It is time to collect the net. Commander Yi, when will it be convenient for you to come?”
Hearing the deep voice at the other end, Yi Yunrui freezes his eyes, “Anytime is OK. But I have a request. I will need more police force to protect my wife.”
The man at the other end thinks for a while and responds, “OK. I will arrange that. Don’t worry.”
“Good.” Yi Yunrui looks at the car. His eyes turn gentle at once, “I need to have another three days to get prepared.”
“The secret personnel will come back to report in two days. We shall not delay. I will arrange someone to pick you up in two days.”
“No need. I will go as soon as possible. Don’t worry. I will call you when I arrive in two days.”
Then, without saying other words, Yi Yunrui hangs up directly.
Two days…
He tried hard to earn the holiday. It is going to be over soon.
The case has a history of over ten years and gets more than a hundred officials involved. It is done within only half a month. People in the department are really brilliantly excellent.
He has to announce the war. He is not sure how long it will last. He only knows that after the war, he can unworriedly stay with his lovely wife and stay in C City peacefully.
He goes back to the car. When he opens the door, he finds that his wife sits there motionlessly in confusion. He feels his heart ache!
“Sweetheart?” He calls. His wife doesn’t respond. He feels panic. He holds her shoulders, “Ning, what’s wrong?”
“Oh? You are back.” Xia Ning slightly lowers her head, “I was lost in thought.”
“What have you been thinking about?” Yi Yunrui says and holds her tightly. He says gently, “Tell me.”
Xia Ning leans on his warm chest and listens to his stable and forceful heartbeats. She enjoys the moment. She wants to ask about the hair very much, but she is afraid of the truth.
She trusts Yi Yunrui very much…but she is really worried.
“I was thinking about whether I should go on to be Wu Ying’s exclusive model.”
Hearing her words, Yi Yunrui slightly frowns!
He realizes that his wife is lying.
He lifts her chin with his long finger and looks directly at her eyes. He asks word by word, “Seriously about this issue?”
His eyes are so sharp that Xia Ning feels panic. She turns away her face at once. But she finds that she is doing useless covering. Then, she smiles, “Yes. I find that I have become a star all of a sudden. You didn’t like it, do you? So, I feel a little unsure about it.”
“Do you like being a star?”
Xia Ning hesitates. She doesn’t respond at once.
“If you like it. I am not against it. As I said before, I will support you no matter what you do.”
Xia Ning is moved. She can’t help giving a sigh.
Yi Yunrui frowns to hear her sigh. He feels worried, “Why do you sigh? What on earth happens?”
