Chapter 180 A Real Beauty

Yin Jingyao has not responded, while Gu Ruoruo can’t wait to ask, “Brother Luan, can I go with you?”

Gu Luan is shocked by Gu Ruoruo’s eagerness. He nods, “Yes. But you have to behave well.”

“Don’t worry. I will. I will just sit to eat quietly.” Gu Ruoruo says in a great expectation.

“Miss Yin, would you…do me the favor?” Gu Luan repeats his invitation.

Yin Jingyao glances at Xia Ning, “I was a friend of Commander Yi in the army. I am actually planning to meet my old friends now that I come back. Since Director Gu invites me, I am glad to go with you.”

“Good. Thank you.” Saying this, Gu Luan turns to Xia Ning, “Ning, are you going downstairs to ask Commander Yi, or are you going to call him about this?”

Yi Yunrui doesn’t like to attend social activities. Xia Ning thinks for a while, “You may go first. I will go there with Rui later.”

“Hum.” Gu Luan asks Yin Jingyao, “Miss Yin, do you drive your car?”

“No. I have just got off the plane.”

“Do you mind going with my sister Ruoruo?”

She surely does! Yin Jingyao puts on a reluctant smile. She planned to go by Yi Yunrui’s car, but she has to accept it now, “My pleasure.”

After they make the arrangement, Yin Jingyao gets on Gu Luan’s car. Xia Ning has just got in Yi Yunrui’s car when Gu Luan’s Audi V8 stops by them. Gu Luan says, “Ning, we will wait for you there. Come soon.”

Xia Ning nods, “OK.”

Gu Luan smiles at Yi Yunrui and drives away.

The door has just been closed and Xia Ning is going to speak, while she feels her waist is held and she falls into Yi Yunrui’s embrace at once.

“Where are you going?” Yi Yunrui smells Xia Ning’s hair and asks in a low voice.

“Director Gu’s friend opens a new restaurant and invites us for dinner. Rui, Director Gu’s friend nominates you as the guest. Will you give her the favor?”

Yi Yunrui looks at her gently and whispers by her ear, “You tell me to go and I will go.”

Xia Ning feels itchy. She gently turns away, “Director Gu asked for that in person. Then, let’s go together.”

“OK.” Yi Yunrui responds. He buries his head into Xia Ning’s hair, “Sweetheart, I seemed to see someone just now.”

“Yes?”

“Yin Jingyao.”

Xia Ning feels her heart slightly tightened. She tries to put on a smile, “Yes. She came back and came to my office…”

“Did she say anything?”

“No. Nothing special. She just said that we hadn’t met for a long time and would like to go out for a chat.”

“Did she?” Yi Yunrui lifts his head to look at Xia Ning, “That’s all?”

Yi Yunrui looks at her. His eyes are so deep, as if they can swallow Xia Ning. Xia Ning swallow her saliva, “Hum. Yes.”

“Seriously?” Yi Yunrui freezes his face. His eyes seem to fire the air around. He says word by word, “We have nothing to talk with her.”

Yi Yunrui is giving out domineering aura. It feels very depressing inside the car all of a sudden. Xia Ning feels her heart beating more rapidly, “Darling, you don’t want to see her?”

“Of course.” Yi Yunrui responds with no hesitation, “If it were not asked by you, I don’t think that she can ever come back again.”

“Darling…”

“Sweetheart.” Yi Yunrui gently holds her face, “If she said anything, you may tell me at once. Don’t bear it all by yourself. Will you?”

Xia Ning feels sad, “…Hum.”

Yi Yunrui stares at Xia Ning and strokes her face with his rough palm, “Tell me, what did Yin Jingyao say?”

The deep voice is just like a glass of good wine flowing through Xia Ning’s heart. She feels drunk at the moment.

“Darling, you will forgive me for anything I have done, won’t you?”

“Yes.” Yi Yunrui responds at once.

Xia Ning feels sweet, “Then, what if I betray you?”

Hearing this, Yi Yunrui freezes his eyes and he clenches his hands which are holding Xia Ning.

At the moment, Xia Ning feels her heart stop beating. Deep inside Yi Yunrui’s eyes, she seems to see the roaring rage…

After a while, Yi Yunrui puts Xia Ning’s hand on his face and rubs it gently there, “I believe you…You can’t bear to.”

Xia Ning takes a cold breath. She feels a deadly pain in her heart and tears blur her eyes.

Yes. She can’t bear to. How can she?

“Then, can you tell me now?”

The gentle voice sounds like a charm, which erodes Xia Ning’s will.

Tell him. Tell him all…

“They…”

“The most romantic thing I can imagine is to be getting old slowly with you…”

The phone rings. Xia Ning is woken up suddenly. She swallows the words on the tip of her tongue.

“I, I answer the phone.” Xia Ning pushes Yi Yunrui away and sits straight to answer the phone, “Hello, Director Gu. OK. I see. We are coming now.”

Xia Ning hangs up the phone and gives a sigh of relief. She turns to look at Yi Yunrui. She is shocked that she feels that her heart gives a sudden jump!

Commander Yi stares carefully at her. There seems to be something rolling in the deep of his eyes.

“Darling…Di…Director Gu has arrived there.” Xia Ning feels unsure and she can’t help stuttering.

Yi Yunrui closes his eyes. He takes a deep breath. Then, he reaches to hold Xia Ning into his embrace again.

“Where are they?”

“They are in Yiunxuan. Darling, do you know this restaurant?”

Yijunxuan…

Yi Yunrui blinks his eyes, “I don’t know. It is OK as long as it can feed my little wife.”

Xia Ning blinks her eyes. The word “feed” sounds quite weird.

Yijunxuan is only two streets away from the World Era Weekly building. It is located in the busy district downtown. It is decorated in an exquisite and ancient style. It seems to take people back to the age of The Republic of China.

Yijunxuan is not very large on the ground with six stories. From the decoration of the building and the location of it, it is easy to tell that the owner of this restaurant can’t be an ordinary person.

They get off the car. A man dressed like a manager comes to them and greets Gu Luan politely, “Director Gu, you finally arrive. There are many guests here. Sister Ping is busy. She will be here soon. Director Gu, please come with me. Sister Ping has prepared a VIP room for you.”

Guided by the man, they come to a private room on the top floor. There are painted walls and screens with a hexagonal roof. It is very comfortable.

They can see from here the crowded downtown. Compared with the noisiness outside, the private room seems to be quieter and more comfortable.

The man greeting them is named Kong Yabin, who is the vice general manager of Yijunxuan. They talk for a while and Kong Yabin leaves for some other work.

“Wow. It is beautiful here!” Gu Ruoruo admires, “It will be great if Brother Yi were also here.”

“Well, Ruoruo, is your Brother Yi still in C City?” Xia Ning asks.

Gu Ruoruo curls her lips. She is depressed, “He went to another place for a meeting this morning. Brother Yi is very busy. We have little time to meet.”

“Secretary Yi has his important business. Ruoruo, you have to behave well. Don’t disturb Secretary Yi all the time. OK?” Gu Luan interrupts.

Hearing this, Gu Ruoruo curls her lips, “Brother Luan, why don’t you bring Sister Liqing with us? Anyway, there are a lot of seats here.”

Gu Luan slightly darkens his eyes, “She is going to work overtime and is not free.”

“Is she?” Gu Ruoruo asks unbelievably. She notices with a glimpse that though Yi Yunrui looks very serious on his face, his hand holds Xia Ning tightly. She envies, “To be honest, I envy Sister Xia most. Look, they have never loosened their hands ever since we got here. Ah…”

Gu Ruoruo says this unconsciously, but Yin Jingyao is stimulated all of a sudden. She clenches her fingers with red manicure and slightly lifts her pink lips, “Ruoruo, you don’t need to envy. You are so beautiful. As long as you like, a lot of handsome boys will please you.”

Gu Luan frowns at what Yin Jingyao says, “Miss Yin, Ruoruo is still young. She would spend some years learning about the society first.”

Yin Jingyao lifts her eyebrows and looks at Yi Yunrui, “Rui, we haven’t met for over two years. You become more handsome. Well, how many women do you want to attract?”

Yi Yunrui glances at her and gives more force to draw Xia Ning into his embrace, “I don’t want to have many women. One is enough. Isn’t it? Sweetheart?”

Xia Ning blushes. She gently pushes him away, “Ahem, there are people here…”

“Ah, are you two showing off your love?” Yin Jingyao puts on a false smile, “People say that what is common in the showbiz is showing off love. However, it is regretful that those who show off love don’t end up good. Xia Ning, I know Rui only loves you, but you’d better have some control. And, you are making us single people embarrassed.”

“Well…”

“If you feel embarrassed, you may find one for yourself and show off together.”

Not wait for Xia Ning to finish her words, Yi Yunrui suddenly interrupts, which shocks Yin Jingyao blankly.

Did she mishear? Did Yi Yunrui say that?

The dishes are not yet served, while the atmosphere is tense here. Gu Luan drinks the tea and slightly lifts his lips.

It seems that a good show is going on.

It is not a secret that Yin Jingyao likes Yi Yunrui. Her coming to Xia Ning can’t just be a simple chat as she said.

However, Yin Jingyao, after “further studying” oversea for two years, doesn’t seem to make any progress. If not because she has got something about Xia Ning, she may even not have the opportunity to show up in front of Yi Yunrui.

At the time, someone knocks at the door three times and a charming and elegant voice is heard, “Sorry to make my distinguished guests waiting. Pingping apologizes to you all.”

At the same time, a tall and buxom woman comes in. She wears a light purple tight cheongsam. Her wavy long hairs add passion to her ancient appearance. She is the perfect one no matter what she does, moving or staying still.
