Chapter 289: Good News

“I’m at our villa, and I want to make our home the most beautifully decorated home.”

Speaking of this, Ling Yun’s low spirits rose again. After all, this was her and Ding Ning’s home.

The renovations at the villa were already done, and once the smell dissipated they could move in. For the last few days, Ling Yun had been shopping furiously and had tastefully decorated every room in a unique way.

According to the report that Xiaoniu provided him with, Ling Yun had spent over ten million on just furniture these last two days. Everyone wanted to throw up after following her shopping for the last two days.

Ding Ning did not comment on this. He had already bought a villa worth more than a billion dollars; did he care about a few million? As long as Ling Yun liked it, that was all that mattered.

However, the hard work had fallen to Xiaoniu and the other guys. Never mind them; even he was terrified of women’s fanatical interest in shopping.

“I won’t go over, I’m afraid I won’t like your taste and argue with you.”

Ding Ning teased with a smile then immediately explained the medicinal herbs he was going to research.

Ling Yun was clearly disappointed after hearing that she would not be able to see Ding Ning for a while. But she was a reasonable woman and knew that she could not be a dead-weight and drag him down.

“Go do what you need to do, don’t worry about anything else, I will handle it. Oh yes, you won’t need to worry about the move in a few days either. When the time comes, I will bring Nana… no, Luoxue back as well, to live together with us.”

“What? Live with us?”

Ding Ning asked a little nervously.

“Of course, she’s your younger sister now. If she doesn’t live with us, who is she going to live with? My dad is living across from my mom’s apartment, are you at ease to have Luoxue live by herself?”

Ling Yun spoke matter of fact.

Ding Ning had planned to buy another villa for Luoxue but since Ling Yun was so reasonable, it saved him the trouble.

“Thank you, darling wife, you’re the best,” Ding Ning said emotionally.

“Hn! How dare you thank your big wife on behalf of your little wife?”

Ling Yun said somewhat sourly.

Ding Ning, “…”

“Alright, no more jokes. The advanced massage bathtub I ordered has arrived. I have to go. Bye.”

Ling Yun hung up and sat in a daze on the newly delivered European style leather sofa. Her gaze was confused.

She didn’t know if what she did was right or not, was she inviting a wolf into her home? But Luoxue truly was a warm, obedient, pitiful girl who made it so that others could not bring themselves to be jealous of her.

She shook her head. Never mind her, since Ding Ning could not be hers alone, why should she not be a bit generous? A jealous woman was not one that stirred feelings of love.

“Sister Yun, I’m here!”

Zhao Jingjing poked her head in and was about to give Ling Yun a warm hug.

“D*mn girl, don’t try to take advantage of me. If my man sees this, he would give you a beating.”

Ling Yun dodged her claws with a good-natured smile, even though she knew this girl was lesbian. She was already careful about maintaining some distance.

But, after all, the two of them had had intimate relations. Recently, Zhao Jingjing often took the initiative in contacting her and she could not push her too far away.

Zhao Jingjing came to find her whenever she had time. With time, the two of them became best friends that could talk about anything.

“Ah, Sister Yun, Ding Ning is so good to you. This villa must be more than a billion, right? He really loves you.”

Zhao Jingjing said with an admiring sigh as she looked around at the luxurious villa.

“Of course, who is he going to love if not me?” Ling Yun said with a honey-sweet smile and a content expression.

“Won’t it be lonely with just the two of your living in such a big house?”

A crafty light flashed through Zhao Jingjing’s eyes.

“It won’t be. The two of us won’t usually have time to clean. Ding Ning said he would hire a housekeeper and a few maids. Besides, Ding Ning’s younger sister will also move in.”

Ling Yun replied as she tidied the room.

“Ding Ning has a younger sister? How come I didn’t know?”

Zhao Jingjing was surprised.

“She’s a paternal cousin from his home; she’s just arrived in Ninghai. Neither Ding Ning nor I am at ease with her living on her own so we decided to have her move in.”

Although they were best friends, Ling Yun still kept some thoughts to herself. She knew what things she should say and what she shouldn’t.

“Even so, there are still many empty rooms. Surely they can’t just stay empty like that?”

Zhao Jingjing spoke pointedly.

Ling Yun shrugged. “So they’ll stay empty, it’s not like we can rent them out. If it gets out that we are renting out rooms in a villa, people would die of laughter.”

“No renting to strangers, surely it’s alright to rent to people you know? For example, me.”

Zhao Jingjing said with a cheeky smile, half-jokingly.

“You? Aren’t you living in dorm?”

Ling Yun looked at her cautiously, wondering to herself whether she had designs on her.

Last time she was drunk, and she had already been taken advantage of once. Most embarrassingly, she had been caught red-handed by Ding Ning. There could not be a second time.

“What kind of look is that? Looks like you’re warding off a pervert. I do live in the dorms but recently, as you know, Liu Wenjing and Song Xiaoyu have started dating and they often don’t come back at night. I’m scared of living in the dorm by myself.”

Zhao Jingjing lied without any change in expression or nervousness.

Ling Yun’s eyes immediately lit up. Anticipating gossip, she asked, “Have they developed to the same stage as Zhang Haifeng and Wu Xian?”

“That, I don’t know. In any case, they often don’t come back at night.”

Zhao Jingjing answered forcefully but in her heart, she quietly muttered, “Xiaoyu, Wenjing, don’t blame me. In any case, not coming home is something that will happen sooner or later. I’m just expediting it for you a little.”

“What a pair. I figured Zhang Haifeng and Liu Wenjing were cheating long again, but I had not expected Wu Xian to progress so quickly as well and take down Xiaoyu so successfully.”

Ling Yun smiled happily. She was truly happy for Ding Ning’s two roommates.

Seeing Ling Yun’s sincere smile, complicated emotions rose in Zhao Jingjing’s heart and she felt unusually ashamed.

I’m sorry, Sister Yun. I’m getting close to you to steal away Ding Ning. I know this is not fair to you but I cannot let him go. I don’t want to hurt you but love is always selfish. Please forgive my selfishness.

“No problem, you can come to stay whenever you want in the future. I’ll leave a key for you. However, I’ll need to talk to Ding Ning a bit, after all, last time he…”

Having said this much, Ling Yun’s face turned red with embarrassment.

“Last time, I had too much to drink. It is enough if I promise to not do it again?” Zhao Jingjing quickly patted her chest and made the promise.

“You’re not allowed to speak of it; it’s so embarrassing.” Ling Yun covered her boiling face and stamped her feet repeatedly. Her beautiful face made Zhao Jingjing lose concentration for a moment.

“No wonder Ding Ning likes Sister Yun so much, she really is very pretty, particularly the mature womanly feel she emanated. Even I feel touched.”

At this moment, the always confident Zhao Jingjing actually felt a sense of inferiority. For the first time, she doubted her ability to successfully steal away Ding Ning.

…

“Ding Ning, let me tell you some good news. That Liu Junwei is actually gay; a video of he and another man… doing that was uploaded to the internet. It’s so disgusting.”

Xiao Nuo’s excited voice came through the microphone.

Ding Ning laughed and lightly said, “I also saw it but it only publicizes his sexual preferences. At most, it affects his personal reputation. Surely it doesn’t count as good news?”

“How is it not good news? This time, he will definitely be fired by the National Security Agency.”

Said Xiao Nuo unhappily. Seeing that Ding Ning was not surprised, Xiao Nuo had the unsatisfying feeling of landing a punch on a ball of cotton.

“What? No way, having such relations is enough to get him fired? Surely there isn’t such a rule forbidding this for functionaries?”

Ding Ning was truly surprised. He had only wanted to use this video to put pressure on Liu Junwei as to prevent him from causing trouble during this time. He had not thought that he would be fired, which was truly an unexpected surprise.

“There is indeed no rule against this for functionaries and the National Security Agency does not manage a person’s personal life but the problem was that he was exposed. Having caused such a ruckus and scandal, how could the National Security Agency keep him on?”

Having said this much, Xiao Nuo seemed very pleased with Ding Ning’s surprise. As if showing off her accomplishments, she said, “There is indeed no way to fire him with the rules but after I heard you say that he intended to take harmful action against you, I pulled some strings to investigate Liu Junwei. I found that he had depended on the favor of one of the leaders to get into the National Security Agency. His trial period was set to be longer than normal and so he has not reached the end of his three year trial period and cannot be considered a formal member of the National Security Agency. Thus, there is no need to follow the rules to have him fired.”

What Xiao Nuo did not tell Ding Ning was that firing Liu Junwei was the first time in her life that she had used her special privilege and asked her dad, Xiao Baiyu, for help.

She would not let anyone manipulate her future husband and remain openly in the National Security Agency, holding special privileges.

Even though she knew that once Liu Junwei was fired by the National Security Agency, Ding Ning would very likely commit a crime and secretly kill him, even though this went already against her personal and professional principles, she was not regretful. No matter what, she would remove this disaster for Ding Ning.

After all, one’s energy was limited and could not be on the lookout forever.

Speaking from a different perspective, if she knew that there was someone hidden in the darkness like a venomous snake, constantly plotting against her, she would not let such a person go.

Although she did not say so explicitly, Ding Ning understood. Xiao Nuo was helping him chip away Liu Junwei’s protective shell.

This touched him greatly. “Nuonuo, where are you?”

“Miss me?” Xiao Nuo teased playfully.

Ding Ning hummed lightly, almost imperceptibly, in agreement.

Xiao Nuo froze. Up to now, Ding Ning had kept his distance. Although this b*stard always took advantage of her every time they met, he had never responded to her affections.

This made her happy and sad by turns. She had always thought that this was a single-sided love.

Particularly when she personally saw he and Ling Yun’s shameless display in front of the Ninghai University, that had sunken her spirits very low. From that moment, she was determined the let go and had gotten herself completely drunk.

However, she had not expected an accident to occur that night. She and Xiaoyao both had their first times stolen by him and this made her feel even more sorrowful and angry.

She had sternly warned Xiaoyao not to tell Ding Ning what happened that night. She did not want him to accept her out of a sense of duty and responsibility.

Even though she already had the most intimate contact with him, her heart was still unsure. She didn’t know whether she and Ding Ning had a future together.

At this time, even a single, barely perceptible sound was enough to make her eyes grow wet.

This was the first time Ding Ning showed his affection for her. Her heart seemed to immediately fill with an emotion that was as soft as water.

“Are you still there? Where are you? I want to see you.”

Ding Ning waited for a while and when Xiao Nuo did not say anything, he couldn’t help but ask uncertainly.

“I’m on duty at the auction house!”

Xiao Nuo spoke in a very, very soft voice. Immediately afterward, she realized she had said something stupid and quickly added, “But I can leave for a while.”

“Send me the address, and I’ll come to find you.”

A warm smile rose on Ding Ning’s face. He could not resist this proud and stubborn girl.
