Chapter 347 The Weird Look

Zheng Yao is in a rage. However, she doesn’t notice that Mei Ruo is evilly smiling beside.

“Aunt Zheng, don’t be angry. Ah. How could Xia Ning do that? How could she ignore her mother-in-law in front of other people? It is humiliating if it is known by others!”

Mei Ruo’s inciting makes Zheng Yao angrier that she has the desire to punish Xia Ning at once. She grits her teeth and says scathingly, “No way. Anyway, I have to get rid of this woman. After Rui comes back, I will tell him to choose either his mother or his wife!”

Mei Ruo realizes that she has got what she wants. She feels glad. However, she doesn’t stop patting Zheng Yao’s back and saying fawning words to comfort her.

But she also feels a little worried in her heart.

Her brother takes actions. But she is not sure what he is going to do. If it goes serious and enrages Yi Yunrui, that will be disastrous.

In the coffee shop, Xia Ning orders a cup of caramel macchia. She sits there in silence. The coffee in the cup gradually goes cool and she doesn’t take a sip.

Su Shen sits face to face with her. He doesn’t say anything to disturb her. Instead, he quietly drinks the coffee in his hand, while looking at Xia Ning in sincerity.

After quite a while, Su Shen puts down the coffee cup and asks, “Miss Xia, your coffee is cool. Do you mind have a hot one instead?”

Saying so, Su Shen waves his hand and a waiter comes to take Xia Ning’s coffee away.

Xia Ning feels depressed. She sits there and simply forgets the time. Su Shen’s words draw her back to reality. She feels sorry, responding with a smile, “Sorry. Mr. Su, you are wronged. Ah. I am very self-willed. My mother-in-law and I always…”

“Miss Xia.” Su Shen interrupts, “Conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are common. You don’t need to explain. I can understand. I didn’t visit you at the right time.”

When they are talking, the waiter serves the hot coffee.

“Please send us another two pieces of blueberry cheese cake. Thank you.” Su Shen turns to Xia Ning, “Miss Xia, you haven’t had any supper. What do you like to eat?”

How can Xia Ning have any appetite? She shakes her head and replied, “Cake is OK.”

Su Shen nods. The waiter responds and leaves.

Xia Ning takes up the coffee for a sip. The hot coffee goes down to her stomach. She feels a little relaxed, finally gives a sigh.

“Actually, I should be the one to say sorry.” Su Shen suddenly says.

Xia Ning feels confused, “Why?”

“I say sorry for my sister Mei Ruo. I know that she always likes Commander Yi. As Commander Yi is married with you, she should let it go. However, her showing up in this way is a kind of challenge. It is too unscrupulous. So, for the disturbance Mei Ruo causes to you, I will talk with her.

Xia Ning mildly smiles, “I can’t prevent other people from liking my husband. But I think when it is time to let it go, she should do so. Or, she will only hurt herself.”

Su Shen’s eyes slightly darken, but return to normal very soon.

At the time, the cake is served. Su Shen takes up the fork. His eyes flash when he looks at Xia Ning. He smiles and says, “Miss Xia, anyway, we are out of your house. You are with your friend. Be happier. Don’t stick in the unhappy things. Come on. Have some cake.”

“Oh. Sorry.” Xia Ning collects herself at once and eats a piece of cake. The sweet flavor spreads inside her mouth and she feels emotionally a little better, “The cake is delicious. We can’t find the same in other shops. I hope you like it.”

Su Shen takes a bite and chews it carefully. He puts down the fork and takes another sip of the coffee. Then, he slowly responds, “The cheese tastes sweet and smooth. It is nice.”

Xia Ning smiles. Su Shen always be quiet and elegant in every gesture. She feels gradually relaxed when staying with him.

“As to the exclusive interview, how about setting it at 3 pm on next Monday?”

Xia Ning thinks for a while. Then she nods and says, “OK. I wonder what kind of advertising you want us to do for you. Or, what kind of details we need to pay attention to?”

“Those interviews done by Director Xia were all successful. I believe in your capability. You will do it perfectly.”

Hearing Su Shen’s compliments, Xia Ning feels a little flattered. She responds, “Mr. Su, you are flattering me. The previous reports of interviews were the results of the joint communications with the customers in advance. I still hope you can give me some tips.”

Su Shen thinks for a while. He looks at Xia Ning and says meaningfully, “Miss Xia, may I ask you a question?”

“Hum. Please go ahead.”

“Now, Commander Yi is not with you. If I can help you to transmit the message, what do you want to tell him the most?”

Hearing this, Xia Ning widens her eyes slightly. Unconsciously, she holds the coffee cup tightly.

At this moment, the words she wants to tell Yi Yunrui most are…

She remembers Yi Yunrui’s image that he closed his eyes in meditation in the locked-up room. It was almost eight in the evening while he hadn’t had any supper. It was empty and cool, without anything around.

Xia Ning feels her heart ache. Her eyes turn reddish. She takes a deep breath, then says, “I hope Rui…can have his meals on time and won’t be hurt because of hunger.”

Upon those words, Su Shen’s pupils lessen suddenly!

“Darling, you are busy at work. Don’t worry. I am at home to take care of other things. However, remember to have meals on time. Don’t get yourself hurt because of hunger. Or, I will really be angry!”

He is still there, but they are not. The sweet voice echoes in his mind as if he has just heard it.

It’s like a key that has just opened the box at the bottom of his heart, Su Shen is reminded of the sweetness in the old days. In an instant, Su Shen feels that he can hardly breathe, as if a big rock is pressed on his heart.

It has been two years. But still, the sense of pain doesn’t reduce. Instead, it increases.

Xiaolan…

Xia Ning notices the unusual expression on Su Shen’s face and that he clenches his fist while breathing heavily. She feels very worried, asking, “Mr. Su, what’s wrong with you?”

Su Shen is shocked. He lifts to look at Xia Ning. At that instant, Xia Ning turns into Xiaolan, while her voice also becomes Xiaolan’s, “Darling, what’s wrong with you? Don’t you feel well?”

“…Xiaolan…” Unconsciously, Su Shen calls out. His eyes are blurred with tears.

Hearing Su Shen call her Xiaolan, Xia Ning feels a sudden shock. Then, as if she remembers something, she says, “Mr. Su, I am not Xiaolan. Mr. Su, wake up!”

After quite a while, Su Shen’s eyes return to normal. When the illusion of Xiaolan gradually disappears and the woman in front of him returns to be Xia Ning, he slightly twitches his lips and turns his face a little away. He says in embarrassment, “Sorry. I…I am rude.”

Su Shen was always relaxed and calm, but at this moment, Xia Ning clearly notices his panic. She says, “Mr. Su, my condolences.”

Condolences?

Su Shen screws his eyes. Xiaolan is with him. She is always there. Why should he accept condolences?

Wait!

Xia Ning looks almost like Xiaolan, her behaviors, her every gesture… Can it be just a coincidence?

Coincidence? Every time when he stayed with Xia Ning, Xia Ning would say some words that Xiaolan used to say. Could there be some many coincidences?

No. There can’t be so many coincidences in the world! It must be Xiaolan giving tips to him. Yes. It must be!

Xia Ning’s body has Xiaolan’s soul inside!

Thinking about this, Su Shen lifts his eyes to stare at Xia Ning. The intense look seems to burn Xia Ning fiercely.

Xia Ning is aware of something wrong. She feels as if her heart has missed some beats. The look from Su Shen…is very weird!

It looks as if he wants to swallow her soul totally, which makes her frightened.

“Mr. Su, are you OK?”

Once Xia Ning speaks, Su Shen’s eyes return to normal immediately. He slightly lifts his lips and takes up the coffee for a sip, “I am fine. Some things come to my mind just now. Sorry.”

Su Shen changes his expression too fast that Xia Ning can’t find any traces of that. Unconsciously, Xia Ning swallow her saliva. A thread of chill comes up from the bottom of her heart. She glances at the time. It is almost ten in the evening. She says, “Mr. Su, it is late. I may finish this cup of coffee and go home to sleep.”

Su Shen agrees, “OK. I will send you home.”

Xia Ning hesitates for a while. She wants to refuse. However, she remembers that she came out decisively, which must make her mother-in-law misunderstand. Even if Su Shen doesn’t send her home, her mother-in-law won’t change her opinion about Xia Ning.

“OK. Thank you.”

It is almost eleven in the evening when Xia Ning arrives at the military compound. When she gets off the car, Su Shen says, “Miss Xia, as to the topic of the exclusive interview, I want to talk about my wife Xiaolan.”

Xia Ning feels shocked to hear that!

Mei Ruo reminded her that she might ask about everything but Su Shen’s wife and son.

Now, what does Su Shen mean by saying so?

Xia Ning has not responded when Su Shen has pressed the accelerator and drives fast away.

Xia Ning gets home. She takes a deep breath and takes out her key to open the door. It is dark inside. Seemingly, her mother-in-law and Mei Ruo have gone to bed.

When she feels relaxed, she suddenly sees a piece of paper on the table. It is her mother-in-law’s handwriting.

“Ask for leave tomorrow. Go for an outing with Mei Ruo and me.”

Xia Ning twitches her lips. Based on the words, they are going for an outing. She can imagine that she is going to be the bags carrier!

It is dim in the house. The slow passionate music echoes in the smoky room, with groaning. It is full of a sense of depravation.

Clothes are scattered around. Du Bei is nude. A muscular man lies beside her. They are having fierce sex.

Du Bu’s face is blushed and she breathes heavily. It seems that she has taken some drugs. She is high.

The man beside her smiles filthily. His big hands stroke forcefully on Du Bei’s big breasts. They together perfectly explain the words of Men and women of Adultery.

When they are high in sex, the door is suddenly opened and six men come in, all are strong.

The joy is interrupted. Du Bei is just going to lose her temper when she sees the strong men in a glimpse. She mildly screws her eyes and lifts her lips, asking, “Special gifts from the boss?”

She likes this club most. The boss Xiao always sends her the satisfactory men for her to enjoy having sex.

Six strong men together? Xiao is generous!

Ah, who cares whether he will charge her for them? Anyway, Du Bei doesn’t lack of money.

Thinking about this, Du Bei holds out her slim hand and hooks her finger at the men, “Are you…joining us together?”

The six men exchange a look. They go towards Du Bei. Du Bei closes her eyes and says slowly, “Come on. Do whatever you can to make me high. As long as I am happy, money is not a problem…Hum!”

Suddenly, she feels her neck a little painful. Du Bei cries in a low voice. Before she realizes what has happened, she feels it turn dark in front of her and collapses onto the ground.
