Chapter 267 What Do You Want, Career or Family? (1/2)

“OK!” Luo Zhen responds with no hesitation.

Yi Yunrui turns to Zhou Wenping, “Be safe.”

He is talking to Luo Zhen, and also to Zhou Wenping.

Then, Yi Yunrui says nothing more. He turns to leave.

He tells what he means and it is done. Ning is at home. He has to go back at once.

Zhou Wenping looks at Yi Yunrui’s back. In an instant, she feels like having a home, too.

The idea flashes in her brain.

She turns to look at Luo Zhen. Luo Zhen is worried about her. The wound in his arm is bandaged. There is still a little blood coming out. She looks at it and feels her heart aching.

He is wounded, but he is always worried about her.

Zhou Wenping wonders whether she herself is too overbearing and unsentimental.

She softens her heart, “Let’s make an agreement.”

Luo slightly brightens his eyes, “Agreement? Pingping, you know, I don’t have much money…”

Zhou Wenping is stunned. She rolls her eyes at Luo Zhen. The man is so stupid that she doesn’t want to make the agreement any longer.

The words are swallowed back. Zhou Wenping angrily sits down, “Then, we don’t make the agreement. You have a good rest to recover. I am leaving soon.”

Luo Zhen finds that Zhou Wenping is going to leave. He is anxious, “No. OK. I agree. What kind of agreement? Tell me. I will figure out the money issue. You know, I am a straight man. I don’t know to turn. Don’t be angry.”

Zhou Wenping signs. Instinctively, she thinks that they need another period of time to decide their relation. She doesn’t want to hurt him or herself.

Thanking of this, Zhou Wenping shakes her head, “It is fine. I was just kidding. You may have a rest. Well, do you have any family in C City?”

“No. I am alone.”

Zhou Wenping feels sad, “OK. I will go home for a bath and come back here again. OK?”

Luo Zhen blinks his eyes. Naturally, he pictures the scene of a beautiful woman taking a bath in his brain…

He feels some heat inside his nose. It cracks in his brain. He consciously presses his nose. He nods, “OK. You go for the bath. Then…all right, you may have a rest at home. You may come later.”

Zhou Wenping mildly smiles. Seemingly, the man is turned on. Oh. She has just said some words. That is cute.

“Then, you may wait for me patiently.” Zhou Wenping winks at him. The man straightens up his body at once!

She is… she is…

It takes quite a while for Luo Zhen to realize that Pingping was flirting with him just now!

Xia Ning wakes up. It is already at noon the next day. Yi Yunrui is sitting by her.

“Rui…” She gently calls. Why is Yi Yunrui here? Doesn’t he go to the military department?

Yi Yunrui puts down the book in his hand and leans to her, “Do you feel dizzy? Are you hungry?”

Xia Ning shakes her head, “I sleep well. I feel better now.”

“I will warm the porridge for you. Wait for a minute.”

Yi Yunrui turns to walk out and soon he returns with a basin of hot water. He wipes Xia Ning’s face with a warm towel.

“Don’t you go back to the military department?”

“There is nothing serious in the military region. I can stay at home with you.”

Yi Yunrui finishes wiping Xia Ning’s face. He takes the water away. After a while, he carries a bowl of hot porridge and some side dishes to come.

Xia Ning looks at the side dishes on the plate. Yi Yunrui knows that she has a bad appetite. These dishes are sour and sweet. It wakes up her appetite. With the dishes, Xia Ning eats two bowls of porridge. She gets some strength back to her body.

As if her body runs out of energy, Xia Ning unconsciously falls asleep again after she finishes the porridge. Yi Yunrui sits by her. He holds her hand and looks at her quietly.

He just looks at her in this way, as if even a lifetime is not enough for that.

In the evening, Xia Ning wakes up again. She feels surprised that she is woken up by hunger!

God. She ate food at noon. She gets hungry so soon.

Hearing the cry of her stomach, Yi Yunrui gives a sigh of relief. He smiles, “It is good to feel hungry. You feel hungry because your body is recovering.”

There are still side dishes. But porridge is changed to be rice.

Xia Ning eats until she is full. She doesn’t want to sleep. She sits in the living room to watch TV. Yi Yunrui peels an apple for her.

At the time, the phone at their house rings. Yi Yunrui picks up the handset. After a while, he asks Xia Ning, “Ning, your colleague Miss Wan is downstairs. Do you want to see her?”
