From-DIDIDA Novels
“Ning, you are truly capable.” Tang Qieying can’t help admiring. She says, “Your husband is a real Mr. Popularity. I have witnessed how popular he is all these years. However, he is a man with a poker face. No matter how those women tried to attract his attention, he never glanced at them at all. Therefore, I wondered many years ago whether Commander Yi was homosexual.”
Xia Ning feels very embarrassed to hear her words.
“Ha. Ha. It is clear now. He is not homosexual! Some time ago, Commander Yi was under investigation in Beijing. I went to see him. He talked with me. It turned out that the boy always loved someone. I felt shocked. I didn’t expect that he was such a persistent lover! Ning, seriously, I really admire you. What on earth did you do to Commander Yi to make him stick his soul on you?”
Xia Ning blushes. She feels shy, “Ms. Tang, you are joking about me. Actually, we knew each other when we were kids. It is nothing complicated.”
“Oh? You two are childhood sweethearts!”
“No. No.” Xia Ning shakes her head at once. Then, she tells Tang Qieying the story between her and Yi Yunrui happened twenty years ago.
Tang Qieying widens her eyes. After quite a while, she responds, “Wow. Commander Yi really keeps secrets. There was such a surprising story. Ah. Few men can be as persistent as him in love in this world! Ning, you are really lucky.”
Xia Ning smiles, “Ms. Tang, didn’t you also meet your Mr. Right? He is also a persistent man rarely seen in this world.”
Tang Qieying can’t help remembering the man’s smile and voice. Her eyes gleam with obvious happiness. She says, “Hum. I am very lucky, too. All these years, he has never given me up.”
As if she is reminded of something, Xia Ning asks, “Ms. Tang, I am not expected to be curious. However, if it is possible, can you tell me something?”
Tang Qieying pats Xia Ning’s hand, “You and I are alone here. Everything we talk about will be between us. No one dares to accuse us of anything. Don’t worry. You may ask me frankly.”
“Last time when Rui was in Beijing, how was the case about Yasi Villa going on?”
“You mean that case.” Tang Qieying smiles, “I was wondering what a big deal you were going to ask. That is not a serious case at all! I may leave the result for your husband to tell you in person. Anyway, you don’t need to worry. Your husband has solved the problem. He even earns some benefit from the case.”
Xia Ning feels confused. Didn’t Yi Yunrui go to Beijing for an accusation of bribe-taking? Tang Qieying said that it was nothing serious. Could Yi Yunrui go to Beijing for other reasons?
He even earned some benefit? What kind of benefit could it be?
Tang Qieying is aware of Xia Ning’s confusion. She puts her hand on her mouth, “I may keep you guessing now. You will find it out later. For other things, you can ask your husband yourself. Don’t worry about confidentiality. Compared with the secrets behind Commander Yi, it is nothing at all. Ning, I may tell you something else, so that you won’t be worried.”
Saying this, Tang Qieying gets closer to Xia Ning and whispers by her ear, “Unless there are highest instructions from the central government, no one can ever pull Yi Yunrui down!”
The highest instructions from the central government? Xia Ning widens her eyes.
After saying that, Tang Qieying giggles.
At this time, some people come to them. They are Commander Xie, Minister Gu and Yi Yunrui. Seemingly, they have finished their discussion.
They come to Tang Qieying. Minister Gu and Commander Xie greet her with the polite formulas while Yi Yunrui listens to them silently, as cold as he always is. Xia Ning is not used to the formulas. She goes to stand behind Yi Yunrui.
They talk for a while. Minister Gu gives some brief instructions and leaves by car. Tang Qieying also gets in a special army vehicle and leaves.
Xia Ning looks at the army vehicle which she has never seen. She has a lot of questions.
Who on earth the man Tang Qieying mentioned is?
“Rui, then, I will leave everything for you to deal with.” Commander Xie pats Yi Yunrui on his shoulder, “I am old. I am not energetic as you young men. I may wait for some time and then I want to stay at home to spend the rest of my life in peace and comfort. I will need to make some arrangements about the work in the military region.”
Commander Xie is implying something in his words. Yi Yunrui understands it, but he doesn’t ask further. Instead, he nods and responds, “You are always my teacher. There is no hurry.”
“No hurry. There is no hurry for you! Rui, do you really want to keep torturing your old man?”
Yi Yunrui’s eyes gleam sharply. He slightly lifts his lips, “Commander, you are a survivor from thousands of deaths. How can you be a fragile old man? It is fine. You can survive again.”
Commander Xie hears Yi Yunrui’s words. He feels a little speechless. He can’t respond for a while. Xia Ning listens to them but doesn’t understand at all.
She wonders what on earth the two men are talking about.
After handling his work in the military region, Yi Yunrui goes back to the downtown with Xia Ning.
Xia Ning sees the noisy crowds through the window. She turns to Yi Yunrui and asks, “Darling, shall we stay out and go home later?”
Yi Yunrui puts on a gentle smile on his face, “Sure.”
“There seems to be a newly opened western style restaurant in C City. I want to have dinner there.”
“Ning, we haven’t been to Lung King Heen for a long time.”
Hearing this, Xia Ning suddenly remembers that Lung King Heen is a property under her name!
God. Her lovely husband has transferred all the properties under his name to her. She has spent the time dealing with other things all the time and totally forgets that!
Yi Yunrui sees his wife stunned. He holds out his hand to rub her nose and says, “It doesn’t matter. Our eldest brother has sent someone there for management. We don’t need to worry about that.”
In an instant, Xia Ning feels that she and Yi Yunrui are irresponsible. They must seem to be unreliable to Yi Yuntian.
Lung King Heen is a famous restaurant ranked in three-star level in the Michelin guide! What is it in their eyes? …
“Sweetheart.” Yi Yunrui gently asks, “Since we are staying out, shall we walk around and then go to have dinner in Lung King Heen?”
“Good idea.” Xia Ning nods happily. She is a food aficionado. She can’t agree more with his suggestion!
Then, as if she remembers something, she says, “When we have dinner, can I invite Baoer and Zhenzhen to come? I want to discuss something with Baoer.”
“OK.” Yi Yunrui responds. He thinks for a while and asks, “Is it about World Era Weekly?”
“Yes. Gu Luan said that I needed to reply to the headquarters within three days. During the days, I want to figure out the manpower arrangement. I myself won’t be enough for the task.”
Yi Yunrui strokes his wife’s hair. He says in a gentle voice, “You may go to do whatever as you like. If anything happens, I will do the cleanup for you. Don’t worry.”
Xia Ning feels sweet. She leans on Yi Yunrui’s embrace and rubs her face there like a cat. She asks, “Darling, will you feel bored?”
It seems that her husband has become her trouble cleaner.
Yi Yunrui laughs. He looks at her affectionately, “Bored? No.” Instead, he finds it quite interesting.
“Commander.” Zhang Hai cries in the front seat, “The system is open! What should I do?”
“Hum.” Yi Yunrui indifferently responds, “You need to do nothing today.”
“Yes, Commander!”
Xia Ning opens her mouth. She wants very much to ask what system they are talking about.
She feels curious the whole day.
As Tang Qieying told, Yi Yunrui has too many secrets.
Yi Yunrui finds his wife looking at him with curiosity. He smiles, “I will tell you this evening.”
His husband agrees to tell her the truth? That is surprising!
“Will you break any regulations or laws for telling other people things? If so, you don’t need to tell me.”
“Telling other people is absolutely not allowed.” Yi Yunrui strokes his wife’s belly and feels it slightly raised. He looks forward to it. He continues, “However, you are my wife. You are not other. So, it is fine. Zhang Hai, go to the newly opened western style restaurant in C City.”
“Yes, Commander!”
Knight XV stops quite far away from the restaurant. Yi Yunrui takes off his army uniform and puts on a white V-neck shirt. He has broad shoulders. The shirt makes him look more perfect in his body shape!
They get off the car and walk in the street hand in hand. The pretty couple becomes the focus in the street at once!
Xia Ning realizes that many people are attracted by them. She feels a great satisfaction for her vanity. She lifts to look at her husband whose face is as handsome as that of a statue. She can’t help admitting that her husband is such a handsome man that even a god will envy him while all the men in the world may hate him.
They enter the restaurant and order a portion of steak respectively, which is the specialty of it. After she is pregnant, she eats almost double food. A portion of steak is not enough and she needs another half.
She can’t finish the left half. Yi Yunrui takes it over and naturally finishes it for her.
At this time, the large screen in the restaurant reports a piece of news: Tang Qieying gives an open response to the Indecent Photos case.
It is in the large hall of the press conference. Tang Qieying sits in the middle. There are lots of reporters asking questions and people look at her with all kinds of expressions. Tang Qieying puts on a smile. She looks calm.
It is surprising. Tang Qieying admits frankly everything in the Indecent Photos case.
“The competition in the entertainment circle is fierce. When I started my career in the industry, I was careless in dealing with some things and offended some people. Therefore, it happened. I feel very sorry about that. Yes. The woman in the photo and the video is me. It is me. I won’t deny it. I know it is a humiliating shock to my fans, people care about me and my family. I made the mistake. I was wrong. What I can do is to say sorry. I am sorry. My dear friends, this is the woman you have supported. Now, everything is known. Tang Qieying doesn’t know what she can do to make it up. Yes…What I can do is to say sorry…”
Tang Qieying speaks with tears. She is apologizing sincerely. Everyone in the hall is quiet. Excepts for the sounds of photographing of cameras and Tang Qieying’s sobs, no criticism or condemnation is heard.
It takes real courage for Tang Qieying to openly admit her fault and face her mistake. Xia Ning feels her heart twitched. She clenches her hand in anxiety.
