Chapter 106: An Act

Hearing what Huang Xiaojun says, Yi Yunrui freezes his face: “Take him in.”

Feng Le takes the hint. He draws Huang Xiaojun into the gym straightly and Yi Yunrui follows them to go in, too.

Soon, Yi Yunrui comes out, but Huang Xiaojun doesn’t. Yi Yunrui holds Xia Ning’s hand: “Sweetheart, let’s go home.”

Xia Ning is confused: “But he…”

“He knows what to do…”

Yi Yunrui holds her to leave the room, when Xia Ning sees vaguely that Huang Xiaojun is writing something there.

Feng Le doesn’t come out. Yi Yunrui gets on Xia Ning’s car and they go back to the military compound.

They are alone in the big living room now and the air gets awkward.

Xia Ning puts down the files: “I am going to take a bath.”

Then, not waiting for Yi Yunrui’s response, she goes into the bathroom directly.

The sound of water comes from the bathroom. Xia Ning locks the door. Not knowing why, when she stays alone with Yi Yunrui, she will be reminded of the scene that Yi Yunrui was having dinner with Mei Ruo.

She stands there blankly, letting the water flow to wash herself. She doesn’t know how long she has been washing and finally she gives a sigh.

What is expected to come will come. There is no use for her to blame herself.

Thinking of this, Xia Ning opens her eyes and decides to make it clear with Yi Yunrui.

Xia Ning gets herself dressed and opens the door. Yi Yunrui is leaning on the door silently.

Not expecting that Yi Yunrui is by the door, Xia Ning is slightly shocked: “You may take a bath now. I have something to talk with you.”

“OK.” Yi Yunrui blinks his eyes. He goes straightly into the bathroom. He says before he closes the door: “I have just cooked the tomato beef noodles. You can have some.”

Xia Ning is kind of moved, but she doesn’t go to the kitchen. She sits in the living room and gets herself dressed.

Soon, Yi Yunrui finishes his bath and comes out. He sees Xia Ning sitting in the living room. He walks to sit by her: “The noodles are just done. You can have some before they get cold, or, it won’t taste good…”

“I don’t have the appetite.” Xia Ning refused frankly, “There are some things I want to know clearly.”

Yi Yunrui hesitates: “Is it about that I went out to have dinner with Mei Ruo?”

Xia Ning glances at Yi Yunrui, thinking him honest: “Yes. Why did you go out with her for dinner?”

Yi Yunrui makes a slight pause: “I will tell you frankly. Sweetheart, don’t be angry…”

“I am angry now. You can choose to tell or not.” As regards their backgrounds, she is inferior to Yi Yunrui, but at this moment, they are equal as husband and wife. If there is anything wrong, they should speak it out. Whether to part is to be decided later.

Xia Ning looks tough. Yi Yunrui is a little anxious: “Mei Ruo decided to leave. She asked for this dinner as her last request. So, I…” Yi Yunrui holds Xia Ning’s hand, “Sweetheart, don’t be angry. I promise that this will never happen again.”

Xia Ning takes back her hand: “Do you know why I am angry?”

Yi Yunrui is confused. He replies frankly: “I don’t know. Please tell me.”

“…I called you once. Why didn’t you tell me the truth?”

“I was afraid that you would be angry.”

“You knew I would be angry and unhappy with that. Why did you still go out with her?” It is right. She is now angry. She is jealous because Yi Yunrui is her husband!

Hearing what Xia Ning says, Yi Yunrui is stunned. He thinks for quite a while and talks to himself: “Well, why did I agree…”

Xia Ning rolls her eyes, wondering why the clever and brave commander can also be so confused.

“And there is another point I need to make clear.” Xia Ning says seriously.

“Sweetheart, please tell me.” Yi Yunrui sits straightly.

“I know people in the army need to obey the confidential agreement. But I don’t think it equal for me to report everything to you while I can’t know what you are doing? Just like what happened today, I went out with my client for dinner and I told you, but you didn’t tell me what you were doing. If I didn’t happen to encounter you, I couldn’t know that Commander Yi was having dinner with Mei Ruo in private.”

Yi Yunrui listens quietly. He frowns at the last sentence: “Sweetheart, I know I am wrong.”

“Knowing that you are wrong is no use. I hope we two can be honest with each other, so that we can avoid a lot of misunderstandings.” It reminds her of Ou Yixuan. They normally didn’t communicate much, and she was the last person to know that Ou Yixuan had betrayed her. She says: “I hope we can be honest, but whether you can do it or not, Commander Yi, you can have your own consideration.”

“I see.” Yi Yunrui replies seriously, “In the future, I will report all my whereabouts to my wife. I am wrong today. I will accept the punishment from the organization.”

Xia Ning rolls her eyes. God. It is not a military meeting. Does he have to be so serious?

“This is not an organization. It is home. As regards punishments, I don’t have any ideas.”

“Normally, disciplinary sanction means physical punishment.” Yi Yunrui explains, “I can accept any physical punishments from my wife.”

Hearing the words “physical punishment”, Xia Ning blushes immediately. Not knowing why, her heart beats more rapidly.

“I can’t. Let it be.” Saying this, Xia Ning stands up, “I go to the kitchen…”

“Sweetheart.” Yi Yunrui grabs her, “It has passed half an hour. You can’t eat them now. What do you like to have? Let me make it for you.”

Xia Ning curls her lips: “I want to have steak. Can you make it?”

Yi Yunrui thinks seriously for a while: “Yes. I can. Sweetheart, wait for a moment.”

Yi Yunrui walks to the fridge and opens it to take out two pieces of beef.

Xia Ning is surprised to find the fridge is stuffed: “Who bought all these things in the fridge?”

She remembers that the foods in the fridge almost ran out last evening. She was planning to buy some these days.

“I bought them at the noon today.” Yi Yunrui starts to work at the steak, “Sweetheart, it is my first time to make steak. If it doesn’t taste good, we can go downstairs for it.”

Xia Ning glances at the time. It is past ten. It takes at least half an hour to make the steak. “It is OK. Beef tastes good no matter how it is cooked.”

Yi Yunrui is shocked by her saying and feels uncertain about it.

At the time, Yi Yunrui’s phone rings. Xia Ning looks at it. It says: Commissar Mei.

Xia Ning takes up the phone and walks to Yi Yunrui. Yi Yunrui turns to ask: “Who calls?”

Xia Ning lifts her lips slightly and presses the answer button, but she doesn’t say a word.

Looking at Xia Ning’s expression, Yi Yunrui seems to know the answer. He continues with the steak.

“Rui? I am sorry. It is my fault today. Sorry. I aroused conflicts between you and Xia Ning.”

Mei Ruo sounds a little dizzy. Seemingly she drank some wine.

Xia Ning keeps silent.

“Rui…I know you are very angry. I promise that I won’t do it again. I love you too much. I promise you. I will control my feeling and try not to love you so much…” Mei Ruo sounds sad and sobs, “I will try not to love you so much. Sorry…”

Xia Ning blinks her eyes. Mei Ruo is a beauty with a sweet voice. And she is sobbing when speaking. Men, no matter who, will surely be touched.

“Rui, say something…don’t keep silent. It is all my fault…If Xia Ning is angry, I can apologize to her myself. OK?”

“Then, you can apologize now.” Xia Ning says coldly.

Not expecting to hear Xia Ning’s voice, Mei Ruo suddenly pauses at the other end of the phone: “Why is it you?

“Why can’t it be me?” Xia Ning laughs, “Yi Yunrui is my husband. A wife answers the phone for her husband. Why can’t it be? Didn’t you want to apologize to me? Do it now.”

“You…” Fought back by Xia Ning unexpectedly, Mei Ruo bursts into anger. She repeats the word “you”, but cannot say other things.

“Commissar Mei. If you don’t want to apologize sincerely, then you shouldn’t make this call.” Xia Ning pauses, “Well, Commissar acted well. You can consider having a development in the entertainment circle. I believe, with your talent, you will definitely be the next world queen.”

Saying this, Xia Ning sets the phone to use the loudspeaker. Mei Ruo says: “Xia Ning. Is it enough? I only went out with Rui for a dinner. Do you need to make it so serious? Let me tell you. Being a wife, you should know to keep some dignity for your husband! Having a wife like you, Rui is really miserable…”

“Commissar Mei, you talk too much!” not waiting Mei Ruo to finish shouting, Yi Yunrui grabs the phone, “You are required to hand in your application for transfer to me by tomorrow. Or, don’t blame me for ignoring our friendship.”

“Rui, no. Please don’t misunderstand!”

Mei Ruo hears Yi Yunrui’s voice. She hurriedly explains, but Yi Yunrui hangs up the phone quickly.

Xia Ning lifts her eyebrows: “As it is said, even heroes can’t win the beauties. Commander Yi, a super beauty was confessing to you. Were you happy?”

Yi Yunrui’s face turns red and white: “Sweetheart, don’t make fun of me. I know I am wrong.”

Xia Ning curls her lips. She gives a long sigh and turns to walk away.

She doesn’t have a superior family background, or any talents. And she is not very beautiful. Faced with other’s challenge, except for feeling jealous and shouting, what can she do?

“Sweetheart!”

Xia Ning has hardly taken any steps before she is embraced by Yi Yunrui from behind. He holds her tightly, as if he is afraid that she might fly away.

“Sweetheart, don’t be angry. It is my fault. I promise it will not happen again. OK?”

Xia Ning is shocked. Tears shine in her eyes: “Rui, to be honest, I really don’t know what you like me for. If I really leave, don’t you still have a lot of better choices?”

“I don’t allow you to say so!” Yi Yunrui hugs her more tightly. He is angry: “I, Yi Yunrui will have no one but Xia Ning. Ning, you are my wife. Don’t ever mention leaving me. Will you.”

She hears clearly his heartbeat which is out of control. Confusion pops up in her mind. Xia Ning pauses for a while: “Then you tell me honestly, what do you like about Mei Ruo? And what do you like about me?”
