Chapter 119 I Am Not Going with You!
Five years ago, she went abroad to get married…
Xia Ning is distracted. She suddenly remembers what Yi Yunrui told her yesterday. Five years ago, because of a reporter, Yi Yuntian decided to refuse any interviews.
Hehe, there can’t be such a coincidence. In addition, Wan Liqing went abroad to get married.
“Xia Ning?” Gu Luan calls, “Any problems?”
“Ah? No. Of course no problems.” Xia Ning smiles, “I suddenly feel some pressure. After all, she is a senior to me.”
“Don’t burden yourself with that. If Liqing doesn’t do anything well, you can tell honestly. After all, five years passed. The company needs to test every newcomer before they start to work in their position.”
“Oh. OK. I see.”
“Ning, please help to make a cup of coffee for me.” Gu Luan says and takes up a file to read.
Xia Ning blinks her eyes. Shouldn’t he ask his assistant to do it? Why does it become her duty?
Xia Ning goes to the mini bar counter and makes coffee. Fifteen minutes later, a cup of nice cappuccino is done. Xia Ning is going to send the coffee to Gu Luan.
At the time, the door is opened and the assistant leads a tall beauty in. She is Wan Liqing.
Wan Liqing is dressed differently from yesterday. Wearing delicate makeup, she looks profession and smart.
She shows up and Xia Ning immediately looks a little inferior to her.
Xia Ning puts the coffee in front of Gu Luan. He nods and takes a sip.
Xia Ning glances at Wan Liqing. She catches that she is kind of unhappy for an instant but at once returns to normal.
“Liqing, let me introduce for you.” Gu Luan says, “This is the Director of Entertainment News, Miss Xia, Xia Ning.”
“Hello, Director Xia. I am Wan Liqing.” Wan Liqing puts on a professional smile and holds out her hand to Xia Ning.
They shake hands and give a quick glance at each other.
“Hello, I am Xia Ning.”
They greet each other. Gu Luan says: “Liqing, you know the rule of the company. You will have a one-month probation under Director Xia. Do you agree?”
“Hum. I know. I agree to the arrangement of the company.” Wan Liqing smiles, glancing at Gu Luan.
Xia Ning lifts her eyebrows. If she hadn’t seen them yesterday, she would have mistaken this to be a flirting scene.
As regards the work, Gu Luan gives some simple instructions and then he tells Xia Ning to lead Wan Liqing away.
“Director Xia.” Wan Liqing calls Xia Ning. She smiles shily: “I have just come back from abroad. I know nothing. If I do anything poorly, please understand.”
Xia Ning smiles, “Miss Wan is too modest. After all, you are my senior. I should learn from you.”
They talk and go back to Xia Ning’s office. Wan Liqing worked in World Era TV Station before, so she can skillfully finish her tasks. She even initiatively asks for more work. But Xia Ning is clear that the reason for her to do so is Gu Luan.
She doesn’t know what happened between Wan Liqing and Gu Luan. She only knows that Gu Luan is single now and Wan Liqing doesn’t have her man, either. Coming back to World Era TV Station is the last chance for Wan Liqing.
As regards the relation between Wan Liqing and Gu Luan, she doesn’t mention or reveal.
Wan Liqing likes Gu Luan and tries to find a chance to meet him. In light of this, whenever there are files for Gu Lua, Xia Ning will ask Wan Liqing to take it to Gu Luan in person.
“Director Xia, do you have time to have dinner with me?” Wan Liqing puts the files on the desk and asks.
“Thank you. But I have an appointment in the evening. Sorry.”
Wan Liqing’s eyes darken. But she still smiles: “It doesn’t matter. Maybe next time. Let’s have dinner together next time.”
“OK.” Xia Ning glances at the time. It is going to be off-hour. There is still a file for Gu Luan. She says: “Please take this file to Director Gu.”
“OK.” Wan Liqing happily takes the file over. She remembers something and asks: “Well, Director Xia, when I was here, Gu Luan liked black coffee. But I found that he drank cappuccino this morning. I wonder when Director Gu changed his taste
Xia Ning slightly pauses. She shakes her head: “I don’t know. Did Director Gu like black coffee? Hehe.”
Wan Liqing turns serious and her smiles kind of embarrassedly: “Well…I am taking the file to Director Gu.”
Wan Liqing turns to leave.
Xia Ning gives a sigh of relief. Wan Liqing sounded jealous. She feels awkward to be involved.
Xia Ning wonders whether Wan Liqing and Gu Luan will reconcile. If they do, she is surely the first target.
Not to mention the relation between Wan Liqing and Gu Luan, Even for that Wan Liqing will be the Director of the News Department, Xia Ning has to be careful with her.
Xia Ning drives home. On the way, she sees Feng Le pick up Leng Weiwei. It seems that Feng Le and Leng Weiwei are getting along well.
She gets to the gate of the military compound. There is a man standing in front of the gate. Xia Ning looks at him carefully and find that he is Ou Yixuan.
Xia Ning is confused, wondering why Ou Yixuan is waiting for her here.
Ou Yixuan sees Xia Ning’s car. He walks to her and waves his hand, hinting her to stop.
Xia Ning stops the car but she doesn’t get off: “What do you want?”
“Can you go out with me this evening? I have something to talk with you.”
Xia Ning frowns: “I have nothing to talk with you. You may leave.”
“Ning, the last time.” Ou Yixuan is almost begging, “I want to get everything clear and then I will go back to lead a peaceful life with Jingsi.”
Xia Ning hesitates. It is unsuitable for her to go out with Ou Yixuan and stay alone.
Xia Ning is thinking about it when Yi Yunrui’s car stops behind hers. Seeing the big vehicle, Xia Ning feels that she has seen her savior: “Well, I have to ask my husband.”
Saying this, Xia Ning gets off and so does Yi Yunrui.
Yi Yunrui naturally reaches out his hand to hold Xia Ning. He glances at Ou Yixuan and asks Xia Ning: “What’s up?”
“Ou Yixuan asks me to go out with him to have a talk and come back soon…”
“Commander Yi.” Not waiting for Xia Ning to finish her words, Ou Yixuan goes to them, “Commander Yi, please don’t misunderstand. I just want to have a talk with Xia Ning. I will not disturb her any longer.”
Yi Yunrui freezes his eyes: “You said so half a month ago. Aren’t you disturbing her again now?”
Ou Yixuan is embarrassed. He tries hard to put on a smile: “Commander Yi, it is really the last time. When it is finished, I will go back to B City and never come to C City again. Please.”
Yi Yunrui thinks for a while. He asks Xia Ning: “Do you want to go?”
Xia Ning curls her lips and shakes her head: “No, I don’t.”
Yi Yunrui smiles gently and hugs her more tightly: “Mr. Ou, do you hear? My wife says that she doesn’t want to go with you. You may leave now.”
“Wait.” Ou Yixuan says, “Xia Ning, I am going abroad and get settled there with Jingsi. I won’t come back again. For the sake of that I have known you for eight years, it is the last time I ask a favor from you. Please!”
Hearing this, Xia Ning is silent. Yi Yunrui says coldly: “Ou Yixuan, my wife has nothing to talk with you. You may leave.”
“Xia Ning!” Ou Yixuan doesn’t want to give up.
“Ou Yixuan.” Xia Ning says slowly, “I have done with you a long time ago. My current husband is Yi Yunrui. Please don’t disturb us any longer. Thank you.”
After this, Xia Ning draws Yi Yunrui and they go into the military compound.
Xia Ning knows that Ou Yixuan stays in front of the gate for a long time before he leaves. But now, when she looks at him, she doesn’t feel painful. What is left is a mild sadness.
This sadness is for Ou Yixuan.
She knows that many things can’t be controlled, but she is clearer that in one’s life, the most important thing is happiness.
Actually, she has never asked Ou Yixuan that question.
Did you marry Yin Jingsi for fame, money, or true love?
But everything is unimportant now. What is important is that she has married Yi Yunrui and she is happy.
She doesn’t want to worry about others’ problems. It is enough for her to keep her own happiness.
“Sweetheart.”
Xia Ning hears a gentle calling. She turns and sees Yi Yunrui who hasn’t taken off his apron. She smiles: “Is the dinner ready?”
Yi Yunrui nods: “Do you…feel sorry for him?”
Xia Ning blinks her eyes. She comes to Yi Yunrui and holds him, shaking head: “Though I am a little sad, I know the one who prepares dinner for me and gives me a home is Commander Yi. Hehe.”
Yi Yunrui strokes her back: “I am glad that you didn’t leave with him.”
Actually, he had been following Xia Ning’s car. When he saw Ou Yixuan, he was nervous and went back as fast as possible.”
He doesn’t know whether Xia Ning will feel sorry. He only knows that he can’t let other men take Xia Ning away.
“If I really left with him, would Commander Yi get mad?”
Yi Yunrui thinks carefully for a while: “I would shoot Ou Yixuan at once.”
Xia Ning widens her mouth: “So violent?”
Yi Yunrui lifts Xia Ning’s chin with his long fingers: “How dare he seduce my wife in front of me! Who should I shoot if not him?”
Xia Ning cocks her head: “What if I stopped you?”
Yi Yunrui’s eyes darken: “Do you feel sorry for him?”
Xia Ning gives a sign: “You are an army man. You should know laws. If you shot him, you would need to take the responsibility. I had to stop you.”
Hearing this, Yi Yunrui gets released. He strokes her head: “You Silly. He is too weak to bear a bullet. I at most would call someone to pack him away. He dared to seduce my wife. I would tell him what is “alive to come and dead to leave”.
