Chapter 517 Who Do You Think You Are?

“What? You take all the responsibilities?” Yi Yunrui stared at Yuriko Shizuka and his eyes were like a sharp knife sticking into her heart. He then said to her, “Oh. How come? Who do you think you are?”

If something ever happened to his little wife, the entire Third Rear Group would be buried with her.

Did Yuriko Shizuka count?

Not at all.

Yuriko Shizuka could see a sense of disgust from Yi Yunrui’s eyes. At this moment, Yuriko Shizuka was heart-broken.

Fantasizing about Yi Yunrui was the worst thing she ever did.

Everything about Yi Yunrui was none of her business.

Others said that Yi Yunrui was cold-blooded and ruthless, and she didn’t believe it before. He was so gentle and heart-warming when he saved her life. But right at this moment, she came to know that Yi Yunrui could do everything for Xia Ning.

He was ruthless to anyone else except Xia Ning.

Having turned off the computer, Yi Yunrui rose to his feet and said, “Zhang Hai, take good care of Yuriko Shizuka. Please let me know if you hear anything from Masahiro Shizuka.”

“Yes, boss.”

When Yi Yunrui was not at home, Xia Ning felt very lonely.

The big house was full of Yi Yunrui’s presence and his residual breath was everywhere. But it was empty in her heart as she lay on the bed, unable to fall asleep.

Yi Yunrui was not at home. She couldn’t get used to it without his company.

It was already more than ten o’clock. Was Yi Yunrui still in the military region?

She wanted to call Zhang Hai but finally gave up.

He must be doing something crucial if he was not at home. So, she’d better wait for him at home.

Thinking of this, Xia Ning sighed lightly, turned off the light, and closed her eyes.

Xia Ning felt a sense of warmth sometime later, followed by a hug from her back. The next moment, a strong sense of safety wrapped her whole body. Subconsciously, Xia Ning turned around, smelled the familiar body fragrance, and listened to the steady heartbeat, as she felt the warmth and sweetness.

“You are back, dear.” thought Xia Ning.

She was relieved. Yi Yunrui kissed her on the forehead before going into the sweet dream.

“I love you, dear.”

The next day, Yi Yunrui drove his little wife to the front door of the media building before getting out of the car. The moment she got out of the car, Xia Ning saw many were looking towards her with envy and jealousy.

“I’ll pick you up after work. Wait in the office until I come.”

“I get it. You can go back to the military region. Man will be here protecting me. It’s gonna be alright here.”

Yi Yunrui always treated her as a child and was anxious about everything to do with Xia Ning. The security guards, in particular, were doubled. Among them, there were also guard soldiers.

“Yes, Commander Yi. I will take good care of madam. Please rest assured.” Man said as he saluted to Yi Yunrui.

Xia Ning frowned. She told Man a lot of times not to salute in the workplace. He did it out of incaution.

It wasn’t until she entered the media building and returned to the chief editor’s office that Knight XV left there.

“Mr. Yi is such a good man. If only I could marry a man like him… Oh, no. It will surely be OK if I can marry a man who is half as good as him.” Jing Shu said it enviously and brought in a cup of hot milk.

Xia Ning smiled and said, “Zhang Hai is a good person. How are things getting on between you guys?”

Speaking of Zhang Hai, Jing Shu blushed, “Who said that? There is no such a thing.”

Jing Shu said no, but her expression betrayed her. Xia Ning laughed without saying a word and had a sip of hot milk.

“Sister Xia, Deputy Editor Leng is back. There will be a meeting at half past nine.”

Xia Ning nodded and wished a peaceful meeting.

Heads of the departments at all levels and key managers were supposed to attend the meeting. The purpose of this meeting was mainly to introduce the new deputy editor, An Lingxi.

For the deputy editor sent from the headquarters, everyone was fine with it. But there was one thing for sure. An Lingxi was here to help Xia Ning, which was a threat to Leng Weiwei.

Leng Weiwei appeared to be gloomy throughout the meeting. With only a few words, she was quite upset.

Everyone would feel terrible if it happened to them. But the problem was that Xia Ning was now the chief editor. She had to give in even if she was defensive.

The position of chief editor required not only the ability but also interpersonal relationships.

Currently, Leng Weiwei was not better than Xia Ning in all areas in addition to individual competence.

An Lingxi was more friendly compared with Leng Weiwei. She kept smiling throughout the meeting, making all of them feel good.

Leng Weiwei returned to her office after the meeting. She smashed the files in her hands against the table, sat down on the couch, and took a deep breath.

It seemed that there would be no peace in the future.

And then, her phone rang, the sound of text messages. Leng Weiwei took it and read the message, her hand clenched into a fist.

“Get Yi Yuntian under control at all costs.”

At all costs…

The same order again.

Leng Weiwei deleted the text message at once with great anger. At this moment, what she wanted was to kill someone.

Last time, and so did this time! How long would she have to be in sin?

At all costs… She knew exactly what it meant and what she was gonna do.

Get Yi Yuntian under control? Leng Weiwei was heart-broken and frowned.

It’s not easy to get Yi Yuntian under control. He was not the average.

If the mission failed, her mom would be… Closing her eyes, Leng Weiwei only felt a pain in her head.

She didn’t want to do anything like this anymore but she had to.

A voice in her heart was repeating. She didn’t want to do that.

This man was not easy to deal with.

The door was rhythmically knocked three times and a voice came from outside the door, “Deputy Editor Leng. This is An Lingxi. May I come in?”

With a slight twinkle in her eyes, Leng Weiwei controlled her emotion and rose to open the door for her.

An Lingxi was quite tall and beautiful with amiable smiles. She was like the daughter of God, charming from bottom to top.

“Excuse me for disturbing you, Weiwei.”

“Come in.” Leng Weiwei went back to her seat and said with a greeting, “Please have a seat, Deputy Editor An.”

An Lingxi sat opposite Leng Weiwei, measuring with her beautiful eyes.

“What’s up? Deputy Editor An.”

An Lingxi appeared to be more delighted, “Nothing big, chitchat only.”

Leng Weiwei frowned and said, “Deputy Editor An, you are kind of idle now. You are new here in City C. No work to do?”

Leng Weiwei said that without mercy. The smile on An Lingxi’s face eased a bit, “Temporarily yes. But I’m not sure later.”

It seemed that Xia Ning was right. Leng Weiwei had a tongue like a razor.

“When Chief Editor Gu was in charge, there was always one deputy editor. Miss An, you came from the headquarters. Could it be that they felt I was not qualified for the position of deputy editor, so someone was assigned to replace me? Or are there any other arrangements for me?”

What a straightforward talk.

An Lingxi blinked. Now that Leng Weiwei was so straightforward, she came right to the point as well, “It was said that you and Chief Editor Xia didn’t get on well with each other. So, I am here to mediate. It’s just a temporary stay. I will go back to America when stability can be achieved within World Era Weekly.”

“Didn’t get on well?” Leng Weiwei smiled coldly, “I don’t think so. There are gossips everywhere in the company. How come people in the US headquarters take it seriously.”

“So, everything is OK between you and Chief Editor Xia?”

“Sure.” As for people in the way, the fewer, the better. Besides, An Lingxi was still standing on Xia Ning’s side.

Hearing about that, the smile on An Lingxi’s face gradually faded.

“So, Weiwei, you don’t hope to see me working here at all?”

“…” Leng Weiwei was not sure whether it was her delusion or not. The woman who was still smiling a few seconds ago made her feel cold at this moment. She suffered from an inexplicable shiver, “Not at all. Don’t worry, Deputy Editor An.”

“It totally depends on what one really thinks about. Don’t fancy what you are not supposed to do. If one did what shouldn’t be done, he would play a fire to burn himself.”

An Lingxi’s words, slow as it sounded, seemed to be a sign of warning. Leng Weiwei was about to refute. But she shivered subconsciously when she saw An Lingxi’s eyes.

Clenching her hands, Leng Weiwei tried to calm herself down. At this moment, there seemed to be something else in An Lingxi’s eyes, which made Leng Weiwei dare not look directly at her.

Slightly narrowing her eyes, Leng Weiwei said, “Thanks for your reminding, but I’ve always been a solitary person. That will perhaps let you down.”

An Lingxi smiled and said, “Just go your own way. Life and death are determined by yourself. How come you let me down? Weiwei, I’m here to get acquainted with you. We will be future colleagues. It will be easier for our work if we can get to know each other first.”

An Lingxi’s smile made Leng Weiwei feel comfortable. The former pressure vanished.

It was a weird feeling…

“If all of us thought alike, there could be fewer posts in World Era Weekly. When there is competition, there is progress. Long time calm and ease will not be a good beginning.”

“Is that so?” An Lingxi tilted her head slightly and said, “But the problem is that we all work for the upper levels, living with a salary. There is no need to treat the daily work as if it were a war. Just do our part. Besides, we women don’t fight, do we?”

Sipping her lips, Leng Weiwei was silent. She had a feeling in her heart that it was dangerous to get too close to this woman.

Seeing that Leng Weiwei did not speak, An Lingxi shrugged and said, “It seems that I will not reach any consensus with you now. But when there is a will, there is a way. I believe it will be a pleasure for us to work together. Oh, no. We will definitely have a pleasant cooperation in the future. I don’t know why, but this is what I truly foresee. Weiwei, you are a funny guy. Nice to meet you.”
