Chapter 135 Confusion (1/2)
The next day, Xia Ning wakes up very early.
As a matter of fact, though she was tired, Xia Ning hardly fell asleep during the night.
Yi Yunrui is going to leave at 4 AM. Before he leaves, Xia Ning clenches her fists tightly under the quilt and closes her eyes. She doesn’t dare to open her eyes. She is afraid that she may not withstand his leaving.
She is afraid that Yi Yunrui may see that she is unwilling to let him go and he will be worried about her.
However, she knows that Yi Yunrui sits in front of the bed and stares at her for quite a while. And then he gives her an intense kiss on her forehead.
Xia Ning hears that the door is closed and she opens her eyes. She curls her lips, feeling mildly sad in her heart.
It is a regular yearly military exercise and she has been telling herself to treat it as a routine, but at this moment, she just can’t do it.
She gives a light sigh. Xia Ning envies Mei Ruo. If only she herself was Yi Yunrui’s commissar! No matter where Yi Yunrui goes, she would be with him.
When she was with Ou Yixuan in the past. She knew that she clung to him. She finds that she becomes more clinging now.
Xia Ning can’t fall asleep. She sits and feels her body aching.
Last night, it seemed that he couldn’t get his desire satisfied. He held her and kept telling her by her ear that he loved her.
She doesn’t remember the time at which they finally stopped making love.
She was exhausted and fell asleep.
Xia Ning glances at the time. It is past four in the early morning. She really can fall asleep. So, she walks to the living room in her pajama.
There she finds lots of various foods on the table with labels, which are instructions written by Yi Yunrui.
Xia Ning thinks for a while and goes to open the fridge. As expected, the fridge is stuffed with foods, each of which with a label of instruction.
Seemingly, Commander Yi has prepared the foods for a month for her.
Xia Ning looks at all these and feels very moved.
He is really considerate to her.
Unconsciously, Xia Ning takes out her phone and excitedly sends a message to Yi Yunrui, “Darling, I will take care of myself. Don’t worry. I will be good and waiting for you to come home.”
She sends out the message and at once feels regretful, thinking that Yi Yunrui may be still on the way.
A few seconds later, Yi Yunrui replies to her: Sweetheart. I love you.
Xia Ning feels sweet. She smiles and puts the phone on her chest. She takes a deep breath and responds in her heart: Darling, I love you, too.
Carrying her phone, Xia Ning goes back to the bedroom and lies down on the bed. She can still smell the fresh fragrance left by Yi Yunrui, which makes her feel comfortable.
She gently strokes the pillow of him and buries her head into it. Xia Ning closes her eyes…
On the way to her office, Xia Ning drops by to see Li Baoer. Baoer looks much better today. The doctor says that she can leave the hospital after resting for another week. Li Baoer’s parents will stay at C City to look after their daughter. With them here, Xia Ning feels very relieved.
Xia Ning gets to her office at half past nine. There is a daily meeting at eight every morning. Xia Ning hurriedly gets her files prepared and goes to the meeting room.
The regular meeting is nothing more than summarizing their experience and arranging their work. Gu Luan is always very efficient at work. The meeting takes only half an hour.
Xia Ning comes back to her office. Wan Liqing brings a cup of sweet cappuccino to her. Xia Ning says “Thank you.”
“Director Xia, I saw your husband the day before yesterday. He is a nice man. It seems that he loves you very much.”
When Yi Yunrui is mentioned, Xia Ning feels sweet. She doesn’t deny, “Hum. He is very kind to me.”
Wan Liqing blinks her eyes and strokes her hairs, “Director Xia, you are really awesome. To be honest, I envy you and your husband very much.”
Xia Ning is surprised. She remembers what she saw between Wan Liqing and Gu Luan. She then smiles mildly, “Thank you.”
