“Director, President Li will be here soon. He asks to meet Miss Xia. What shall we do?” The secretary finds that Ou Yixuan’s face is covered with clouds and he realizes that his boss is refused.

Ten minutes ago, she received a call from Li Dezheng. He said that he would like to ask Director Ou to arrange a time to meet with Xia Ning. He is on the plane and will arrive in fifteen minutes. It sounds that Li Dezheng is anxious. She put down the phone and told Ou Yixuan at once. Now, it seems that the situation is not good.

To be honest, she has been the assistant to the Director for two years and she does not know that Xia Ning has such a strong background. The girl did not say anything about it. Now she caused such a big trouble. It is still not known who will take responsibility for that.

Xiao Tingting is the biological daughter of President Xiao. The president will definitely protect her. Ou Yixuan is the son-in-law of the Mayor and he will not take the responsibility either. While Xia Ning… However, it seems that Li Dezheng may fail to protect himself.

Ou Yixuan frowns and curls his lips without saying a word. What Yi Yunrui said repeats by her ears: Ning is too tired. She is sleeping…”

Too tired…

He clenches his fists. To his great surprise, he finds jealousy runs in his heart wildly and fiercely. It is the first time in eight years he is so frustrated. At the moment, he wants to fly to Xia Ning to get her back!

He thought that Yin Jingsi who is beautiful and elegant would take Xia Ning’s place. He was sure about that till yesterday. But now, it seems that he is too childish to think so!

He used to be proud of his reason and self-control. When he heard the words from Yi Yunrui, both his reason and self-control collapsed.

For eight years, she had always been there for him. He thought he had been used to her attendance and would be able to leave her whenever he wanted. Even at the moment he got married to Yin Jingsi, he had never thought that he might get hurt and be jealous for her.

He thought he was capable to put it down.

However…

Ou Yixuan closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. He controls the urge of smacking things and says to the secretary, “Bring President Li here when he arrives.”

Within several hours, it is said that people up there have begun to investigate the bribery issue of Li Dezheng. Seemingly Li Dezheng has got the information. He flies from Hong Kong to B city directly. It means that Li Dezheng is anxious and the incident is more than serious.

“Yes. Director.” The secretary responds and leaves.

After the secretary leaves, Ou Yixuan’s phone rings. Yin Jingyao Calls.

He feels his head aching. Ou Yixuan gets the phone, “Jingyao, what is up?”

“Brother-in-law, I am in Yi Villa. Aunt Zheng Ran and Tingting are also here. Will you tell me what on earth happened? Does Xia Ning make troubles again?”

Ou Yixuan strokes his forehead, “Jingyao, I am dealing with this issue. Please stay out of this.”

“What do you mean by staying out? I know Tingting for long and we are sisters. She is bullied now. What are you doing about that? Don’t you tell me that you are protecting Xia Ning?”

Ou Yixuan gives a slight sign, “It is nothing to do with Xia Ning. In addition, Xia Ning doesn’t work in TIME now. We cannot blame her for anything. I am busy now. Do you have other things?”

“Xia Ning doesn’t work in TIME? Then where is she? Does she just leave after making troubles?”

Ou Yixuan frowns, “Xia Ning is taken by Commander Yi. If you want to ask anything, go to ask Commander Yi. That is all.” He finishes the words and hangs up.

He knows that Yin Jingyao has something against Xia Ning and he also knows that the problem is caused by Tingting. Now, Tingting is making noises in Yi Villa. It seems the incident is not that simple.

Someone knocks at the door and the secretary is heard, “Director, here is President Li.”

Ou Yixuan is surprised. He comes so soon!

Yi Villa.

“Elder Auntie and Mom, what can I do? My elder cousin is furious. He scared me. And he will not forgive me. What can I do? What can I do…” Xiao Tingting is crying and her eyes are tearing. Ever since she was a little girl, she has been a precious and no one dares to give her a bad look. What Yi Yunrui did today scares her badly.

As a matter of fact, she just wanted to teach Xia Ning a lesson and kicks her away. She did not expect that things would go like this. She knows Yi Yunrui well and is clear that it is not a good idea to enrage him.

“Don’t worry. Yunrui is your elder cousin. It is all right. Your auntie and Mom will talk with him.” Zheng Ran is comforting her. It seems her daughter is really frightened. She has never seen her being scared like that.

“Ah!” Zheng Yao frowns, “It is her fault. How can Rui stick up for her! No, I am going to meet the woman!”

Zheng Yao says and is going to stand up when Yin Jingyao comes in and stops her, “Auntie, I know Xia Ning. She is just a common woman, but she is tricky. If you go straight, you are no match for her. The result may be just the contrary. In addition, if you go to her to ask for an explanation, it degrades you. You are her mother-in-law. So, let me go to meet Rui first. I will find out what happened and tell you.”

Zheng Yao thinks for a while and nods, “It is OK. But Jingyao, how do you find her? Do you know where she lives?”

“Hum. I know. That woman failed to seduce my brother-in-law and I noticed her long before. I am going there now. Aunties, and Tingting, you may wait for my call.”

Yin Jingyao leaves Yi Villa.

It seems that she underestimated Xia Ning.

…

“Are you hungry?” Yi Yunrui glances at the clock. It is past five o’clock. He puts his big hand on Xia Ning’s flat belly, “You are so thin. Lie down and I will do the cooking.”

Yi Yunrui gets Xia Ning well covered with the quilt and stands up to leave.

“Rui.” Xia Ning calls in a gentle voice, “There is nothing in the refrigerator. I am going to buy some food.”

“No need. I already bought some.” Yi Yunrui pauses there, “You have a rest and I will call you when the dinner ready.”

“Is that right? I am not very hungry. I may do the cooking, although I may do it a little slowly.” She is very tired, but it seems that it is too much to ask Sir Commander to cook by himself.

“Don’t be silly.” Yi Yunrui pets her hairs, “It is not a matter of right or not, just preparing a dinner for my wife, as long as Ning doesn’t think that I don’t cook well.”

Xia Ning blinks her eyes and shakes. Honestly, she seldom cooks at home. Instead, her meal is often a bowl of instant noodles.

“Have another rest.” Yi Yunrui says and dresses himself to leave for the living room.

Soon after Yi Yunrui goes out, Feng Le is heard, “Sir, I have put all those you asked me to buy on the table. Please check!”

Xia Ning smiles. So, Yi Yunrui makes Feng Le his partner.

Her lower belly still aches. If she is not hungry, she will sleep all the time. That thing is a tiring job.

She remembers they came back at noon and now it is almost six o’clock in the afternoon. She doesn’t know how long she was asleep, but she remembers she was too tired to open her eyes.

She cannot even remember how she fell asleep.

But one thing she cannot deny is that Commander Yi is really good at that thing. If it goes on like this, she wonders whether she will manage to hold on.

She heard that it hurts badly for the first time. Yes, it did, but not as badly as said.

On the contrary, she feels this first time is… really terrific…

Thinking of it, she blushes and buries herself into the quilt again.

It sounds someone is cooking in the kitchen and the flavor of foods are around. Xia Ning can hear the hungry crying of her belly and her mouth is watering.

God. It smells good, really good.

Can Commander Yi really cook?

Curiously, Xia Ning wants to check herself in the kitchen.

She drapes a coat and walks to the living room. Feng Le is not there. Seemingly Commander Yi told him to leave.

She walks to the kitchen and sees that the tall man is busy cooking. Some finished dishes are put aside. They look nice and tasty.

Xia Ning feels her appetite is forcing her. She walks to the dishes and can’t help holding a piece of sweet and sour rib with a pair of chopsticks, putting it into her mouth…

Oh, it is really tasty.

The flavor, the sweet and sour and the crisp of the rib are just at the perfect point. It is delicious!

So, Xia Ning can’t help eating some pieces more and suddenly she realizes that the Commander is standing behind her, looking at her with a smile.

“Ha!” Xia Ning laughs embarrassedly, “This… this is delicious. I am hungry. Ah…”

If she doesn’t see it herself, she will not believe that the Commander Yi really cooks well.”

“Hum. Go to wash your hand and we are having dinner.” Yi Yunrui says and takes a basin of warm water. He puts Xia Ning’s hands into the water and washes them for her.

Xia Ning tamely looks at his washing and drying her hands, and wiping her face. She is simply being taken care of as a little child by the Commander at the moment.

Looking at the three dishes and a bowl of soup and smelling the flavor of family cooking, Xia Ning feels that her heart is full of appreciation.

“One minute.” It seems that he suddenly remembers something. Yi Yunrui says and goes to the kitchen to fetch two more bowls of rice and put them aside.

After finishing all these, Yi Yunrui says, “Dad, Mom, Ning, let’s have dinner.”

In the second of hearing this, Xia Ning bursts into tears!

Yes, it has been a long time since she has dinner with her parents.

“Ning.” Yi Yunrui grasps her trembling hands and says seriously, “Although I call Dad and Mom late, in the days to come, as your husband, I will take care of you for them. From now on, no matter what you do, you may keep in mind that you are a woman with a husband. No matter what happens, your husband will stand by your side and protect you. OK?”

Xia Ning curls her lips. Her eyes are red. She looks at the man silently and nods.

Yes. She is married and Yi Yunrui is her husband.

Dad, Mom…your daughter is married…

They have this dinner slowly, but happily. Xia Ning feels this is the happiest dinner time she has ever had in eight years.

At this time, someone knocks at the door, a voice is heard, “Commander Yi, Xia Ning, It’s Yin Jingyao. Sorry to bother you. Please open the door.”
