Chapter 196 Changing
Xia Ning finds Gu Ruoruo stare at her. She is confused, “Why? What are you thinking?”
Gu Ruoruo shrugs her shoulders, “Nothing. I may leave.”
However, even her idol Yin Jingsi called Xia Ning “home wrecker”. How can it be easy for her to understand Xia Ning’s philosophy?
She will continue to keep an eye on her!
Gu Ruoruo remembers something when she walks to the door. She turns back to Xia Ning. She sticks out her finger and speaks word by word, “As long as Sister Xia doesn’t seduce my brother Luan, I will obey you in everything.”
Xia Ning rolls her eyes at her. She suddenly realizes that the modern young people tend to change their mind quickly.
Xia Ning collects herself and starts to work.
Sometimes, when people are busy, they tend to forget about time. When Gu Ruoruo says that she is going out to have lunch, Xia Ning finds that it is already break time at noon.”
She is not in the mood to have lunch.
She takes out her phone and stares at the screen blankly. She remembers they were so sweet some days ago that Yi Yunrui sent a message to her every one hour. Now, she hasn’t got any one for three days.
Xia Ning gives a sigh. Passion comes fast and goes fast?
However, is…Yi Yunrui really too busy to give her any messages?
Thinking of this, Xia Ning opens her message page and wants to text Yi Yunrui.
No matter Yi Yunrui will reply or not, she at least delivers her concern.
“The most romantic thing I can imagine is to be getting old with you slowly…”
She hasn’t sent out her message while the phone rings. Xia Ning is glad. It may be Yi Yunrui.
But what is shown on the screen is “Mother-in-law”. Xia Ning feels a cool wind blow through her.
She feels nervous every time when she receives the call from her mother-in-law.
“Hi, Mom, good day. Have you had lunch?” Xia Ning smiles and tries to make her sound sweetest.
“Lunch? I am dying of anger because of you!”
The mother-in-law speaks in a loud voice. Xia Ning closes her eyes and moves the handset. She feels the anger directly
What did she do?
Xia Ning is not clear why her mother-in-law is so angry. She still puts on her smile, “Mom, please don’t be angry. What happened?”
“Hum! It is because of you. Tell me, why do you allow Yin Jingyao to come back?”
Hearing this, Xia Ning understands. She is a little panic, “Well…Yin Jingyao is still young. She can’t spend the rest of her life abroad…”
“Xia Ning, I don’t know what I can say to you. You are too naïve or too stupid? How did Yin Jingyao hurt you before? Do you forget? You allow her to come back! Fine, she comes back. You even allow her to work in your company! Don’t you put a time bomb by your side? Ah. I have never seen anyone as stupid as you!”
Xia Ning slightly frowns, “Mom, how do you know all these about Yin Jingyao?”
“How do I know?” Zheng Yao raises her voice a little, “The woman was so arrogant that she called me in person!”
“She called you in person?” Xia Ning feels nervous. She asks at once, “Mom, did she say anything else?”
Zheng Yao is surprised at Xia Ning’s reaction, “Why? Do you have anything hidden from me?”
“…” Xia Ning takes a cold breath. She calms herself down, “No. I am asking whether she threatened you. Mom, don’t take it wrong.”
“Threat? How dare she? She doesn’t want to live? However, she really said something that surprised me. It was about you and Rui.”
“What did she say?”
Zheng Yao takes a deep breath. She says in a deep voice, “Xia Ning, tell me honestly. When you were at home with Rui, who does the cooking? You or Rui?”
Xia Ning’s heart tightens! She understands at once!
“Generally, Rui cooks…”
“Does he?” Zheng Yao interrupts loudly, “When Yin Jingyao told me that, I didn’t believe it. It turns out to be true! Xia Ning, you are a wife. How can you allow your husband to do the cooking? Rui is busy at the military region. You should give him a relaxed rest after he comes home! Do you think you are doing well as a wife?”
Being blamed by Zheng Yao, Xia Ning feels her brain in a mess.
“Hey, are you listening to me? Why don’t you respond?”
“Oh. I am listening. Mom, I am listening.” God. Her mother-in-law is in a rage. How dare she interrupt?
“This Sunday, no matter how, you and Rui have to come home! We will have dinner together and talk about something. Do you hear?”
“Oh. Yes, Mom. I know.” It is fine for her. She is only afraid that Yi Yunrui may not have time.
“Well. Xia Ning, I want to warn you here. Don’t tell Rui on me! There is no use to tell on. I will wait for you at home on Sunday!”
Saying this, Zheng Yao hangs up.
Xia Ning holds the phone on her hand. She blinks her eyes. She covers her forehead and feels sad…
God. What are these! They come all together!
After this accident, Xia Ning has got no appetite for food. She decides to skip lunch and go on to work.
Then when she is getting off work, she receives a message, which surprises her greatly.
It is from Yi Yunrui. It is like this: I will get home by seven o’clock. Get supper ready and wait for me.”
Get supper ready…
Normally, Yi Yunrui’s previous messages are like this: I will prepare supper and wait for you at home. Come home soon. I love you.
Is it going to be absolutely contrary?
Does Yi Yunrui have any complaints about her?
Cooking is not a problem. She always cooked for herself when she was not with her parents. After getting married to Yi Yunrui, Yi Yunrui said husbands work and wives take care of home. However, she feels there are changes going on quietly.
It is changing too fast for her to face it.
Even though she knows it is absolutely reasonable.
Xia Ning gives a sigh. She packs her things. She feels sad in her heart. Anyway, she feels it a good thing.
At least, when she leaves, it will not cause too much disturbance to Yi Yunrui.
Xia Ning is shopping in the supermarket. She thinks about what Yi Yunrui likes to eat. Unconsciously, she sees by glimpses that other lovers discuss what to have for the evening. She feels sad.
Some days ago, she was still accompanied by wherever she went. Now, all of a sudden, she is alone by herself.
Her marriage has only lasted for over two years.
“Xia Ning, don’t have the fond dream. Commander Yi only loves you when you are fresh to him!”
Suddenly, the words pop up in her brain. In an instant, Xia Ning is frozen.
Is she…not fresh to Yi Yunrui any longer?
Xia Ning buys many fresh vegetables and meat home. In the past, when she asked Yi Yunrui what he liked to eat, he always replied that he liked what she liked. Actually, Yi Yunrui doesn’t tell the truth. So far, she still has no idea what Yi Yunrui likes to eat.
So, she will prepare some more dishes. There must be one which he likes.
When it is almost seven, Yi Yunrui gets home. At the time, Xia Ning has got the dinner ready, five dishes and a bowl of soup. She puts them on the table.
Yi Yunrui smells the flavor of the foods and sees the dishes on the table. He feels warm in his heart. He takes off his coat and cap at once. He has the impulse to eat up all the foods.
It is cooked by Xia Ning, uniquely for him.
“You are home. Come to wash your hands. We are having supper.” Xia Ning takes off the apron.
Yi Yunrui nods. He walks into the kitchen. Xia Ning is preparing warm water for him to wash his hands. Not knowing why, he suddenly feels his heart tightened.
As a matter of fact, he could come home by five.
Actually, he could go shopping and do the cooking with her.
But he can’t soften his heart!
Yi Yunrui touches the warm water. His face is grey. He lifts his head and sees her looking at him.
As if he is shocked by electricity, his heart tightens again.
“Wipe your hands.” Xia Ning passes a warm towel to him.
Yi Yunrui takes it over. He wipes his hands. He feels guilty inside.
He wants to pamper her, always pampers her for no reason.
As long as he thinks of her taking up the kitchen knife and wearing the apron, he feels his heart aching.
But what he has done today…
“Darling, let’s go for dinner. Don’t stand here. The foods are getting cold.” Xia Ning says in a low voice by him
“OK.”
They sit at the table and have dinner quietly.
Yi Yunrui doesn’t pick any food for Xia Ning as usual. Xia Ning doesn’t tell Yi Yunrui any interesting things happened in her office, either.
“Well…” After a long silence, Xia Ning opens her mouth, “I am going to work overtime. There are some urgent documents. I don’t know when I can finish them. You don’t need to wait for me to sleep.”
Yi Yunrui pauses. He frowns, “Are they so urgent? Don’t you have assistants to help?”
Xia Ning shakes her head, “They can’t handle them. I have to do that myself.”
Yi Yunrui looks cold. He doesn’t speak. Instead, he has mouthfuls of rice.
Xia Ning is ware of Yi Yunrui’s unpleasure. She is a little glad, “Are you going out in the evening?”
Yi Yunrui stops chewing and shakes his head.
Xia Ning gives a sigh of relief.
Yi Yunrui glances at Xia Ning’s bowl. The rice there doesn’t reduce much. Yi Yunrui asks, “Why do you eat so little?”
“Oh?” Xia Ning blinks her eyes, “I am eating.” Xia Ning takes a mouthful of rice, “Well. Mom told us to go home this Sunday, no matter how. She has something to discuss with us.”
Yi Yunrui frowns, “I know.”
Know?
It is just a simple response? Or, does Yi Yunrui know anything in advance?
Xia Ning is confused. But she doesn’t ask in the end.
“How do you find these dishes? Do you like the taste?”
“They are fine.” Saying this, Yi Yunrui eats some vegetables.
Xia Ning sees that Yi Yunrui has finished his soup. She takes up the bowl and fills it with some more for him. She puts it in front of him.
Looking at his soup, Yi Yunrui seems to think about something.
“Why?” Xia Ning is confused. At the time, her phone rings.
It is from Wan Liqing.
“Hello, Director Wan, have you had dinner?”
“Xia Ning, I am right downstairs of your home. I have something to take with you. Is it convenient for me to go upstairs?”
Hearing this, Xia Ning is shocked. What Gu Ruoruo said quickly flashes in Xia Ning’s brain. Does Wan Liqing come to her because of Gu Luan?
