Chapter 94: Call by the Name

Xia Ning is clear what kind of person she is.

She can be as quiet as a kitten, or even tend to accept whatever is given to her if she doesn’t feel any pressure. But if she does feel some pressure or something bad happening to her, she can be getting tougher as the condition gets harder.

Though Yin Jingsi is the daughter of the Mayor of B City and has nothing to do with C City, Xia Ning knows that women can do anything sometimes. She needs to be careful for some time.

At the time, her phone rings. It is from Gu Luan.

“Ning, are you free this evening?”

Xia Ning is puzzled. She nods, “Yes. Why?”

“We are going to have an exclusive interview with a star. We have planned it for a long time. Now, her agent says that she is free this evening. We will have a dinner with the agent. It is just a simple dinner. Do you think you can attend it?”

“OK. What is the time? And where? Do I need to prepare any material?”

“You don’t need to prepare anything. Do you know Song Yingying? You can wait at the gate of Guohua Hotel at half past five.”

Song Yingying is a capable actress and idol star. She is a goddess to many homeboys. Some time ago she went to Hollywood for some movies which were successful. It seems that she is just back to the country for a rest and will go back to Hollywood again.

Xia Ning also likes Song Yingying’s songs and movies. Song Yingying looks holy with the typical oriental beauty. Now, Xia Ning is the Director of Entertainment Program. Though Gu Luan said that she could go back to work two days later, this Song Yingying issue is an exception.

“OK. I will be there.”

Xia Ning hangs up and at once finds the enthusiasm for work.

To be honest, she looks forward to meeting Song Yingying. She takes out her phone and calls Yi Yunrui.

“Where are you?”

She has not spoken, while Yi Yunrui suddenly asks. Xia Ning pauses. It seems that Yi Yunrui hears the noises in the street.

“I am in the street. I met Yin Jingsi just now.”

“Why did Yin Jingsi want to meet you?”

Xia Ning curls her lips, “It was about Ou Yixuan. She talked with me about him.”

“Ou Yixuan?” Yi Yunrui raises his voice slightly, “What was it about?”

Xia Ning smiles mildly, “It is a little complicated. I may tell you about it in the evening.”

Yi Yunrui thinks for a while. He is going to respond, when Mei Ruo comes in with a stack of files. He changes his response, “OK. Tell me this evening. When will you go back?”

“I have a dinner appointment this evening. I may come home quite late.”

“Aren’t you going to work the day after tomorrow?”

“Hum. There is something special. I need to work. I am going to meet an important agent.”

“…OK. I know. Don’t drink too much in the dinner.”

“Director Gu said it was only a simple dinner. Don’t worry.”

“Hum.” They talk for a while and Yi Yunrui hangs up.

Mei Ruo sees that Yi Yunrui has finished the conversation. She says, “Commander, these are the files from the central government. They are about the improvement of the troops. I take them to you.”

“OK. I know. You can go to work.” Yi Yunrui responds indifferently and takes up the files.

Mei Ruo’s heart aches. Obviously, she feels that Yi Yunrui becomes more indifferent to her. Instinctively, as a woman, she knows it is because of what happened the day before.

“Commander, is it convenient for you to have a talk irrelevant to work?”

Yi Yunrui turns the files, “Hum. You may say.”

“Yesterday, I encountered Xia Ning in the supermarket.”

Yi Yunrui frowns. He felt unpleasant to hear Mei Ruo call Xia Ning by the name. He freezes his face, “Did you say anything to my wife?”

Hearing Yi Yunrui call Xia Ning “wife”, Mei Ruo is painful as if a knife sticks into her heart. She takes a deep breath, “Yes. I talked with her in the supermarket about some things. Commander, did Xia Ning talk with you about me?”

“What do you mean?” Yi Yunrui puts down the files.

“Rui.” Mei Ruo pauses for a while and replies, “We have known each other for such a long time. You know what kind of person I am. Yesterday, in the supermarket, I talked with Xia Ning about some things that happened between you and me in the past. I had a loose tongue to tell her that. Maybe Xia Ning minded. But I didn’t do it on purpose.”

“Hum. I know.” Yi Yunrui replies emotionlessly, “As regards to those that happened between you and me in the past, I will tell Xia Ning myself. It is what between my wife and me. I hope it will not be concerned about or asked by other people. Commissar Mei, do you have any other things?”

Aware of Yi Yunrui’s impatience, Mei Ruo feels jealousy running in her heart. She curls her lips. She is almost gritting her teeth, “Why didn’t you tell me about your marriage? At least, you should let me know. Rui, you did this to me. Did you regard me as a stranger?”

“Commissar Mei, I hope in any conversations we may have next time, no matter in front of me or my wife, you will call me Commander.”

Yi Yunrui totally ignores Mei Ruo’s sadness. He says with anger, “You and I are friends. To marry my wife is my own decision. The time was tight, so we did it simply. Considering your relation with my brother, I didn’t inform you directly. You were with my brother and you should be informed by him.”

What he says makes Mei Ruo upset? It is right. She likes Yi Yuntian, too. The two brothers are different in personalities, but they are both outstanding. Compared with Yi Yuntian’s uncertainty, the realness of Yi Yunrui is more attractive to her. To be honest, until now, she is uncertain about what Yi Yuntian regards her as in his heart.

Yi Yuntian didn’t tell her the information of Yi Yunrui’s marriage. She went back to China when Yi Yuntian had gone to attend a meeting in Britain. Unexpectedly, she found out the marriage and her position became awkward immediately. Sometimes she thought that she might go back, but Yi Yuntian had never called her. Seemingly, Yi Yuntian also has some guesses on her.

Anyway, she hasn’t regretted that she came back to meet Yi Yunrui and had herself transferred to work with Yi Yunrui.

Thinking of this, Mei Ruo answers, “Well. I don’t like to mention him here. Commander. You have been married for a year and we have never been to your new house. Our officers are wondering what an excellent woman has earned the heart of our Commander. They say that you hide your woman too deep.” Mei Ruo smiles, “Commander, do you think you should find a time and invite us for dinner at your house?”

“There is no need. My wife doesn’t like noises.” Yi Yunrui refuses frankly without hesitation.

Not expecting Yi Yunrui will refuse so frankly, Mei Ruo feels a little embarrassed, “Commander, we don’t mean it bad. We just want to meet Xia Ning.”

Yi Yunrui freezes his face and responds coldly, “Commissar Mei, you should call my wife Mrs. Yi! These are basic manners. Please pay attention to that next time.”
