Chapter 524 A Weird Feeling

The Third Rear Group had a significant status in its country that even the Prime Minister had to be careful dealing with the group. Yi Yunrui somehow managed to make the gang master of the Third Rear Group apologize in public. Though it was just an apology, everyone knew what this implied!

He was really good!

Xia Ning immediately worshipped her husband even more!

She felt that her husband held a similar status as Uncle Mao in her heart!

He was glorious!

She held her husband tightly and kissed him deeply, “Thank you, dear!”

Yi Yunrui squished her cheek with a smile, “Hungry? I’ll make you some breakfast.”

Xia Ning felt so moved. Yi Yunrui did not ask for praise after doing something this big. Instead, he asked her whether she was hungry. All he cared about was her and their baby. Marrying such a good husband, she could not ask for more.

Yi Yunrui took Xia Ning back to her company. When they were approaching the entrance to the media building, they saw loads of journalists gathering, who rushed to them at the sight of the Knight XV.

Yi Yunrui frowned at what he saw, “Zhang Hai, clear the way for us!”

“Yes, boss!” Zhang Hai answered and got off the car to clear the road. Some dissatisfied people were taken down quickly.

Impressed by Zhang Hai’s boldness, other journalists let them pass. It was an armored vehicle with Yi Yunrui and Xia Ning inside. It would be troublesome if the army got involved.

Yi Yunrui was usually not happy surrounded by the crowds, let alone with his pregnant wife by his side!

He opened the car door and got off with his wife in his arms. He glanced over the people present with his eagle eyes. His condescending aura shocked everyone. None of these people holding their cameras and microphones dared to ask him a question.

Xia Ning was not required to comment on Masahiro Shizuka of the Third Rear Group publicly.

It was her privacy and none of the media’s business. Plus, it was not something suitable for public discussion.

Having escorted his wife to the media building, Yi Yunrui still wore an annoyed face. Xia Ning held her husband’s hand, saying, “Dear, you’re frowning hard enough to squeeze a mosquito to death.”

“Hmm?” Yi Yunrui drawled and flicked his eyes, “Now you’re saying I’m too old?”

Xia Ning did not realize that Yi Yunrui was genuinely mad. She stuck her tongue out. How dared she!

Thus, Xia Ning quickly switched to a smiley face, “Not at all. You’re too sensitive, dear. My husband is gorgeous and handsome. There’s no way I will say he’s old. Haha…”

Though Yi Yunrui was aware that his wife was only flattering him, he still enjoyed it. He smiled, “I’m heading back to the military region. I’ll pick you up after work if I’m free. Otherwise, Zhang Hai will come and take you home.”

Xia Ning nodded, “I see.”

Yi Yunrui left after squeezing his wife’s nose with affection. But his gentleness disappeared once he turned around. His face was cold and looked unapproachable.

The journalists were shocked. Commander Yi was so gentle to his wife one second before, and then he changed his attitude completely. No wonder Masahiro Shizuka apologized. Commander Yi seemed to care about his wife deeply.

Xia Ning went back to her office and found Li Baoer and Jing Shu waiting there already. Seeing Xia Ning, Li Baoer said, “Awesome, Chief Editor Xia! Even the master of Third Rear Group has to bow down to you. I seem to have found myself a strong ally.”

Xia Ning blinked her eyes. It was just on the morning news. How fast the news flew…

“It’s just a coincidence!” Xia Ning laughed, “What you’ve seen isn’t necessarily the truth…”

“Even if it’s not true, it can’t be a lie either.” Li Baoer shook her hands and said, “Ning, stop being too humble. I should say that you are getting better at taming your husband. Commander Yi is cosseting you even more.”

Xia Ning smiled and looked at Jing Shu, who seemed to be very jealous of her, saying, “I feel like we’re missing something here? Milk and coffee?”

“Oops! I’ll go make some.”

“Ning, what happened? I watched the news this morning and smelled something fishy here.”

Xia Ning paused. She waved at Li Baoer to let her get closer.

Li Baoer was all ears quickly.

“You remember the gunshot in front of the media building. It was Yuriko Shizuka, Masahiro Shizuka’s daughter, who did it.”

Li Baoer widened her eyes. She was about to swear when Xia Ning covered her mouth, “Hush. So now you know. ”

Li Baoer pursed her lips and nodded. Xia Ning took her hand back.

And then Li Baoer gave Xia Ning a thumb up.

Jing Shu brought here two cups of milk and three cups of coffee.

Milk was for two pregnant women. She drank coffee with Man and Xiaoniao.

Meanwhile, someone knocked at the office door. An Lingxi came in.

Seeing the chief editor’s office was crowded, An Lingxi raised her eyebrow, “Are you having a morning meeting this early?”

Xia Ning shook her head, “Nope. We’re just chatting.”

Jing Shu quickly served An Lingxi a cup of coffee.

An Lingxi took the coffee, grabbed herself a chair, and took a sip. It was made from the coffee beans she gave Xia Ning.

“Let me guess.” Putting down the coffee, An Lingxi said smilingly, “you’re all here because of the morning news?”

Jing Shu nodded, “Correct! Deputy Editor An, you also watched the news?”

“How can I miss such breaking news.” An Lingxi cast an admiring glance on Xia Ning, “Even Masahiro Shizuka had to bow down to you. Chief Editor Xia, you are something.”

“Ning certainly is awesome, but her husband is even better!” Before Xia Ning could say anything, Li Baoer rashly uttered.

An Lingxi was surprised to hear this. But she was back to her usual self quickly, “Hmm? Director Li, so what’s the story?”

Xia Ning remembered that An Lingxi was also present that day. She said, “Yuriko Shizuka was behind the gunshot that day. My husband was dealing with the Third Rear Group these days. And Masahiro Shizuka made his announcement today. I have no idea about this. My husband has taken care of it.”

An Lingxi’s eyes lit up, “Chief Editor Xia, your husband is a soldier, isn’t he?”

Xia Ning nodded, “He’s a soldier in the military region in C City.”

Li Baoer put down the milk and said, “Stop being too humble, Ning. Deputy Editor An, let me tell you. Ning’s husband is way better than that! He’s not merely a soldier! Her husband commands all the personnel in the military region in C City!”

An Lingxi was shocked at her words!

Xia Ning looked at Li Baoer disapprovingly, “How’s the milk?”

“It is really nice…” Li Baoer gave her a silly grin and sipped her milk.

“And then help yourself with some more. Shu, serve Director Li another milk.”

“Yes, boss!” Jing Shu saluted, impersonating Zhang Hai. She grabbed Li Baoer’s empty cup to get her some milk.

An Lingxi looked thoughtful. And then she said to Xia Ning, “Chief Editor Xia, did I tell you that my assistant was about to arrive?”

“You did.”

“Her flight is in this morning. She’ll come here in the afternoon.”

“I see. I’ll offer her the best position and salary I can. I hope she’ll enjoy working with me.”

“That’s for sure.” An Lingxi contemplated and said, “After the Third Rear Group, I guess you will focus on Tianyu Entertainment Company, right?”

Xia Ning did not reply. Her issue with He Yuan had now become a battle between two companies. This silent battle had been on for almost a month and dragging it on was meaningless.

“That’s for sure!” Before Xia Ning could speak, Li Baoer uttered again, “He Yuan and Huo Zhanpeng, they are so annoying! Ning, you really should teach them a lesson this time!”

He Yuan and Huo Zhanpeng were nothing compared with the gang master of the Third Rear Group! They were nobody! Commander Yi could take care of Masahiro Shizuka, so getting rid of He Yuan and Tianyu Entertainment would be a piece of cake. If He Yuan and Huo Zhanpeng ever watched the morning news, they would definitely be terrified!

“We’ll see…” Xia Ning did not give a clear answer. Her husband was behind this. She was unclear about the results for now.

But she knew that they were undoubtedly Yi Yunrui’s next target.

Putting down the coffee, An Lingxi shrugged, “You can take your time. But I suggest you be quick. He Yuan and Tianyu Entertainment do more harm than good to World Era Weekly. The issue can still get tricky if the headquarters is informed.”

Xia Ning was slightly alerted at her words!

Why did An Lingxi say this?

Inform the headquarters?

Was An Lingxi trying to remind her of something?

Hang on, An Lingxi was sent by the headquarters. Though she came here to assist her, “monitoring” also partly explained why she was here.

An Lingxi probably thought they should no longer play this game with Huo Zhanpeng.

“Chief Editor Xia, I’ll go back to my work now. See you later.” An Lingxi knew that Xia Ning was quietly contemplating. She had done her job of informing her.

Xia Ning nodded. An Lingxi walked out and closed the door.

Li Baoer put down the coffee and waved at Xia Ning cryptically. Xia Ning got closer to her.

“Ning, I don’t mean to talk behind her back. But I feel An Lingxi is a bit weird!”

Xia Ning blinked her eyes, “Why?”

Li Baoer pursed her lips, “I can’t tell exactly why. It’s just a feeling. Perhaps I’m just too sensitive. Ning, I’m not interfering with your relationship. I’m just being honest.”
