Chapter 365 To Visit and Apologize
“OK.” Yi Yunrui responds indifferently and hangs up the phone.
Zhang Hai is almost thirty years old. He still bargains with him for a phone. Ha! The boy really “makes some progress”.
Yi Yunrui takes up a knife and peels the fruit quietly. The fruit is very fresh. He asked the boss of the fruit store to inform him when fresh fruit was available. Just now, the boss sent him some boxes of all kinds of fruit.
Recently, Ning likes to watch costume dramas. Last time, when she stared at the fruit plate of seven colors, her eyes were widely opened. He watched that episode again to note down the seven kinds of fruit in different colors.
After finishing cutting the fruit, he washes his hand and carries the fruit plate to the living room.
His wife is making tea there. She says that drinking coffee for a long time is bad for health. She wants to make some Pu’er tea to protect his stomach.
Looking at his wife’s earnest expression, Yi Yunrui feels very sweet.
Actually, as long as his wife stays with him and puts him in her heart, he is very happy.
As Yi Yunrui puts down the seven-color fruit plate, Xia Ning widens her eyes at once. She realizes that the scene looks familiar!
“Seven-color fruit plate!” Xia Ning exclaims.
Yi Yunrui smiles, “Hum. It is just the same as what you saw in the TV drama. Come to have a taste. They are fresh and very sweet.”
Yi Yunrui says when he uses a toothpick to pick a piece of juicy peach for her.
Xia Ning takes it over. She opens her mouth widely to take a bite of it, “Well. It is really very sweet. Darling, you are awesome. It is hard to buy such soft and fragrant juicy peaches nowadays.”
“Yes. It is a little hard to buy. In the past, the big juicy peaches of Beijing were not suitable for long-distance delivery. Then, people improve their features. This box of juicy peaches is specially kept for us by the boss. Or, they will be sold out very soon.” Yi Yunrui picks another piece for her.
Xia Ning takes it by a bite. She picks a piece of mango for him, “It tastes so sweet. Luckily, it is fruit. Or, I may get sick of its sweetness.”
They are talking when the doorbell rings.
Yi Yunrui takes a piece of tissue to wipe his hands and mouth. He says, “I will go to open the door.”
Then, Yi Yunrui walks to the entrance hall. Xia Ning feels surprised, wondering who will visit them at this time of noon.
“Hello, Commander Yi.” Yi Yunrui has just opened the door, while Su Xueli bows at him politely at once.
Yi Yunrui darkens his eyes. The smile on his face disappears all of a sudden. He nods and says coldly, “Please come in.”
Su Xueli is aware of Yi Yunrui’s apparent indifference. She feels her heart tightened.
This man looks deadly handsome when he smiles. But when he gets cold, she feels so freezing that she can hardly stay.
Anyway, no matter how he is, he looks very attractive in his appearance and manners.
He is even more charming than Mr. Su.
“Thank you.” Su Xueli humbly responds and lowers her head to change her shoes.
Xia Ning finds that it is Su Xueli. She wonders at once whether anything happened in the company. He hurriedly puts down the fruit and pours a cup of tea for Su Xueli, “Xueli, you are here. Anything urgent happens?”
Hearing this, Su Xueli slightly hesitates. Zhang Hai told her to quit her job just now. Doesn’t Director Xia know anything about that?
Su Xueli comes in and sits down. She takes over the tea from Xia Ning, “Director Xia, thank you. There is … nothing very urgent in the company.”
Nothing urgent? Then, why does she come here?
Xia Ning glances at the clock on the wall. It is three in the afternoon, the busiest time of day normally. Why does Xueli come here?
Xia Ning glimpses at Su Xueli, who wears very complicated expressions as if she is hesitating whether she should speak. Xia Ning understands.
“Does anything happen to you?”
Su Xueli lifts her head. But when she sees Yi Yunrui looking at her, she swallows the words on the tip of her tongue. She purses her lips.
“Assistant Su, have some fruit.” Yi Yunrui casually says.
The deep and magnetic voice sounds like a sweet song by her ears. Su Xueli can’t help swallow her saliva. This man is really charming.
Director Xia is so lucky.
Su Xueli has been dreaming of having such an excellent man.
After eating a piece of fruit, Su Xueli stammers, “I… I…”
Xia Ning slightly frowns, “Xueli, you can speak directly. Don’t hesitate.”
Su Xueli glances at Yi Yunrui again. She takes up her courage and says, “Director Xia, I hope you can give me another chance. I really don’t want to leave World Era Weekly.”
Xia Ning feels greatly surprised to hear her words.
What… happened? Why does Su Xueli say so?
“What happened? What are you talking about?
“I…I don’t dare to tell.” Not unknowing why she feels that the temperature around suddenly drops. The air conditioner is truly on. However, this kind of chill is like that on a frozen and snowy world.
“Why don’t you dare to tell? Is anyone threatening you?” Xia Ning raises her voice a bit, wondering where anyone played tricks when she was absent.
“No.” Su Xueli shakes her head, “It is my fault. I should bear the responsibility. However, Director Xia, can you give me a chance to change? I know I am wrong. I will work really hard in the future.”
Xia Ning listens to her and feels more confused. She doesn’t understand what Su Xueli is talking about.
Xia Ning freezes her face and says seriously, “You ask me to forgive you. You have to tell me what happened in detail. I know nothing now. How do I forgive you?”
Su Xueli bites her lips. She glances at Yi Yunrui worriedly.
But Yi Yunrui is holding the cup and tasting the tea carefully. He pays no attention to her.
Su Xueli feels very bad in her heart. She clenches her fists.
“Just now… Commander Zhang came to talk with me.” Su Xueli hesitates for quite a while before she says.
Zhang Hai? Xia Ning feels very confused
“He went to meet you? What was it about?”
“Hum.” Su Xueli nods, “He came to talk with me about something. He told me to quit my job in World Era Weekly.”
Su Xueli pauses here, while Xia Ning freezes her face.
Zhang Hai went to meet Su Xueli and told her to leave World Era Weekly. That seems to have something to do with someone else.
Thinking about this, Xia Ning turns to Yi Yunrui, when Yi Yunrui is also looking at her.
Yi Yunrui looks at his wife’s eyes. His eyes soften at once with tenderness. He responds in a deep voice, “Hum?”
It is a very regular exchange of glances, but Su Xueli sees that and envies them very much.
The man is emotionless when he looks at her, but he is totally different when he looks at Director Xia. How can his eyes be so soft?
This time, Su Xueli notices very clearly from Yi Yunrui’s eyes how much he loves Xia Ning. She has seen people showing off love in front of others, but none can be compared to these two in front of her now.
In such a simple glance, she understands that this man loves his wife from the bottom of his heart.
Xia Ning hesitates for a while. She responds gently, “Nothing.” She turns to Su Xueli, “Zhang Hai always does things reasonably. He couldn’t go for you for no reason. You have to tell me honestly. What on earth happened?”
Su Xueli’s hands tremble. The tea in her cup spills out a little. Su Xueli cries, “Ah.”
“Be careful. Come to wipe it.” Xia Ning frowns. She passes a piece of tissue to Su Xueli.
Based on her experience, Su Xueli stammers must because she has done something wrong.
Su Xueli wipes the tea on her hand. She makes up her mind. She suddenly stands up and soundly kneels down towards Xia Ning, “Director Xia, it is my fault. I couldn’t refuse the temptation to contact with Mr. Su. I told him your whereabouts. It was my fault. However, I was not malicious. Mr. Su looked so nice. I just couldn’t refuse him. Director Xia, can you forgive me? Please give me another chance. I won’t do that again.”
Hearing this, Xia Ning’s eyes gleam.
Su Shen asked for her whereabouts?
Wait. Why did he want to know her whereabouts?
“When did that happen?”
Su Xueli hesitates. She bites her lower lip, “On the day when you had the accident. Mr. Su told me that he wanted to meet you, but he couldn’t make the time. He wondered when you would be free. So, he asked me to keep an eye on you and tell him what you were doing…”
Su Xueli speaks, but her voice becomes lower. She glances at Xia Ning worriedly.
Su Xueli’s words sound reasonable. Actually, anyone can realize that Su Shen was telling Su Xueli to spy on Xia Ning!
Xia Ning bursts into a fury all of a sudden!
You may indeed see someone’s face, but you can’t know his mind.
How can the intelligent and elegant man do such a despicable thing?
“Is that all?” Xia Ning asks in a cold voice.
“That is all. Director Xia, please believe me. I was out of my mind at that time and did so. Director Xia, please give me another chance. I promise that I won’t do it again. Director Xia, please forgive me.”
Su Xueli is begging for forgiveness, while what Xia Ning is concerned about is not what she said.
She is wondering why Su Shen spied on her.
Zhang Hai warns Su Xueli. That must be the instruction of Yi Yunrui. Does Yi Yunrui know anything?
Thinking about this, Xia Ning turns to look at her husband.
Yi Yunrui thinks for a while, then he sticks out his finger and touches her nose, “You silly.”
Silly?
Xia Ning blinks her eyes.
She is clear about her husbands’ identity. If her husband takes any moves, the case can’t be a simple one. Since her husband sent Zhang Hai to tell Su Xueli to quit her job, if she keeps Su Xueli around, won’t she be humiliating her husband?
Though she is still confused about the case, she is absolutely on her husband’s side for his doings.
Xia Ning gives a sign, “Xueli, don’t kneel here. You may stand up. It looks weird.”
“No.” Su Xueli forcefully shakes her head, “Director Xia, I know I am wrong. Please forgive me. You forgive me, and then I dare to stand up.”
Xia Ning turns to be serious, “What do you mean? Do you want to stay at my home?”
Su Xueli feels shocked, “No. No. No. I don’t mean that. Director Xia, you misunderstand. I am terrified. I am afraid that I may lose my job. If I do, I will be laughed at by the villagers when I go home, and my parents will feel humiliated. Director Xia, please! Please forgive me this time.”
