Chapter 143: Don’t Bother with It. I Can Manage Myself.

Xia Ning finds that she tends to get awake easily.

Her first action after opening her eyes is to reach for the phone.

Before she fell asleep, the phone was put there with the loudspeaker on. She could clearly hear Yi Yunrui’s breath and then naturally fell asleep.

However, she doesn’t know why she is awake. It seems that some tinny sound wakes her up.

She presses on the screen and finds that Yi Yunrui has hung up. It is two forty at night.

It’s two forty… there is still quite a long time before dawn. Why is she awake?

It is late at night and it is quiet everywhere. Xia Ning takes a deep breath and hears some tinny sounds from outside.

Ah?

She holds her breath and listens carefully.

There are sounds outside, very tinny sounds. It seems to be someone’s voice.

Thinking of this, Xia Ning tiptoes to the door and opens it lightly. She looks out.

“Have a good sleep. Don’t walk around.”

The tinny voice is heard. Xia Ning recognizes that it is Yi Yunyi’s voice.

Then she hears the door being closed and sees Yi Yunyi walk to his own room.

Yi Yunyi comes out from Gu Ruoruo’s bedroom.

Xia Ning blinks her eyes. As far as she knows, Brother Yi Yunyi has his own house outside and he seldom comes home, not to mention staying at home overnight.

This evening, Yi Yunyi not only comes home, but also stays at home for the night. In the midnight, he even goes to see Gu Ruoruo. Seemingly, he goes to check on Gu Ruoruo’s wounds.

Xia Ning slightly lifts her lips and closes the door.

It seems that the elder Brother has…some feelings towards Gu Ruoruo.

Xia Ning goes back to her bed and sits there with her phone in a trance.

She wonders whether Yi Yunrui was sleeping. Every time when she woke up, she was always held by powerful arms. But today, the pillow beside her is empty.

She really misses him, very much.

It turns out that unconsciously she has been used to sleeping in Yi Yunrui’s embrace. Now, Yi Yunrui is not here and she can’t fall asleep.

She gives a light sigh and looks through the window to count the stars.

Xia Ning fell asleep late and couldn’t get up early the next day. When she wakes up, it is almost eleven.

Seeing the time, Xia Ning almost jumps up from the bed. Get up so late in her mother-in-law’s house. It is…

Hurriedly she gets dressed, does the washing and goes downstairs. Then she sees Zheng Yao, Wan Liqing and Gu Ruoruo chatting in the living room. They laugh from time to time.

Xia Ning gives a sigh of relief. She puts on a sunny smile: “Mom, Liqing, Ruoruo, good afternoon.”

“Good afternoon, Sister Xia.”

“Good afternoon, Director.”

“You are awake. Come to talk with us. The two girls you bring here are really funny. They make me laugh for the whole day.”

Zheng Yao says and waves her hand at Xia Ning.

Xia Ning smiles and walks to her. Zheng Yao holds her hand.

“Did you sleep well last night?” Zheng Yao asks kindly.

Xia Ning nods: “Yes, I slept well. Thank you, Mom.”

“You did not have any breakfast. Are you hungry?”

Xia Ning is a little embarrassed: “Yes, a little.”

“I can guess that.” Saying this, Zheng Yao takes out her phone and dials a number and it gets through soon, “Yi, are you off work? We have got lunch ready. Ah? On the way? OK. We will wait for you.”

Zheng Yao hangs up, smiling and says to Nanny Huang: “Nanny, Yi is coming soon. You may serve the lunch in fifteen minutes.”

“OK. Madam.”

Yi Yunyi comes back for lunch? Xia Ning is a little surprised. She glances at Gu Ruoruo. Seemingly that the elder brother pays great attention to Ruoruo.

Soon after Zheng Yao finishes her words, Yi Yunyi gets home. Seeing that Yi Yunyi comes back, Nanny Huang serves the hot dishes on the table. There are ten dishes and a bowl of soup.

Yi Yunyi seldom comes home for lunch. Therefore, this time, Zheng Yao told Nanny Huang to prepare more dishes.

Everyone considerately leaves the seat for Yi Yunyi to sit beside Gu Ruoruo. They have the lunch happily but don’t mention about them.

Xia Ning deliberately pays attention to Gu Ruoruo’s wounds. When she walks, she still limps. It seems that she can’t go with her to the exclusive interview.

But during the lunch, Xia Ning doesn’t mention it for fear that it will influence Gu Ruoruo’s mood.

Yi Yunyi picks foods for Gu Ruoruo from time to time. It seems very natural for him to do so. He smiles and talks. However, he is a little shy, which is noticed by some of them.

As a secretary of a provincial party committee, Yi Yunyi has been in the official circle for many years.

He has met all kinds of beautiful women, many of whom offer themselves to him. To be honest, Yi Yunyi never lacks beautiful women, but he is single all the time. As to those offering themselves to him, he also gets away from them in some tactful ways.

This time, Yi Yunyi initiatively stays at home for the night and comes back for lunch. It is easy to tell what he does all these for.

Zheng Yao looks at them meaningfully. Xia Ning is thinking whether she should report to Gu Luan.

After lunch, the fruits plate is served. Yi Yunyi continues to “serve” Gu Ruoruo.

“Uncle, I can manage myself.” To stop Yi Yunyi giving her fruits continuously, Gu Ruoruo says first.

Yi Yunyi pauses: “OK. But you have got wounds. Is it convenient?”

“I hurt my feet only, not my hands.”

“Ha!” Hearing this, Xia Ning finally can’t help laughing.

Yi Yunyi’s face slightly freezes.

“Ahem!” Yi Yunyi clears his throat and smiles chicly, “The hostess of Yi Villa has been teaching us since we were kids to take care of our guests sincerely. I was just afraid that Sister Gu was too shy to eat. Mom, am I right?”

In this way, part of the burden is shared by Zheng Yao. Zheng Yao glances at Yi Yunyi. Then she nods and smiles at Gu Ruoruo: “Yes. Ruoruo, don’t be overcautious. Eat more.”

Xia Ning glances at the time. It is almost one o’clock. It is time to get the material ready and they will go to Yin Jingsi’s soon.”

“Ning, are you going there at three this afternoon?” Yi Yunyi asks.

“Hum. We are leaving soon.”

“Then, you can go by my car.”

“Oh? Brother, aren’t you going back to the government office? L’oreal is not far from here. We can take a bus.”

“It is all right. I don’t have important things to deal with this afternoon. I can give you a lift.” Saying this, Yi Yunyi looks at Gu Ruoruo, “Ruoruo, you may stay here for your wounds. Don’t go there with Ning.”

Hearing this, Gu Ruoruo curls her lips and bites the fruit forcefully.

“Hahaha!” Yi Yunyi laughs. He turns to Xia Ning: “Ning, you seldom come back. Why don’t you stay for some days?”

Xia Ning instinctively wants to refuse, but she suddenly realizes that Yi Yunyi implies something in his words.

Xia Ning looks at Gu Ruoruo and asks meaningfully: “Ruoruo, you have got wounds on your feet. Why not stay here for some other days. What do you think?”

Gu Ruoruo blinks her eyes and says helplessly: “If only we could have the interview with Yin Jingsi in two days.”
