Chapter 174 Concealment

Xia Ning is in a panic. Yi Yunrui is aware of that and he frowns, “Sweetheart, do you conceal anything from me?”

Xia Ning is shocked. She consciously shakes her head, “No. Nothing. I don't conceal anything from you.”

Xia Ning's reaction only increases Yi Yunrui's confusion, “Then, why did Yin Jingsi call you? What was it about?” Yi Yunrui finds that Xia Ning turns her eyes to look around. He continues, “Are you going to tell me that because she called you by mistake?”

That's exactly what Xia Ning was going to say before she heard it from Yi Yunrui.

Xia Ning thinks for quite a while and she gives a depressed sigh. She really doesn't know what reasons she can give out to get this over.”

Yi Yunrui is too smart to be concealed with normal lies.

She would rather tell it frankly than conceal it from him. Anyway, after some time, Yi Yunrui will finally learn the truth.

Xia Ning curls her lips. As if she has made a decision, she looks at Yi Yunrui and says word by word, “Today, Yin Jingsi called me to ask for something.”

“Oh? What is that?”

“She wants to have her sister Yin Jingyao come back to China.”

Yi Yunrui darkens his face, “Well, she really finds the right person.”

Xia Ning is stuck, wondering what's the real meaning of Yi Yunrui, “Darling, what do you…”

“Why did Yin Jingsi ask you for that suddenly?”

Xia Ning thinks for a while, “Because…Ou Yixuan left her. She is alone and feels lonely. So, she wants to have her sister around with her.”

Yi Yunrui blinks his eyes, “Why did Ou Yixuan leave Yin Jingsi?”

When she hears the question, Xia Ning opens her mouth but can't speak a word.

“Sweetheart,” Yi Yunrui strokes Xia Ning's hairs and says gently, “I am your husband, you can tell me anything frankly. Don't worry.”

Hearing Yi Yunrui's words, Xia Ning becomes silent on the contrary.

Can she really not be worried about anything?

“Ou Yixuan…quarreled with Yin Jingsi. They quarreled fiercely. Ou Yixuan believed that they were not suitable for each other and he left.”

When Xia Ning is speaking, Yi Yunrui stares at her quietly. His sharp eyes are shining with wisdom.

“It is just for the quarreling.”

Xia Ning nods, “Yes.”

“How did you know that Ou Yixuan left because of the quarrel with Yin Jingsi?”

Yi Yunrui's questions come step by step and Xia Ning is forced into a corner.

“Ou Yixuan called me and told me that.”

“Did he?” Yi Yunrui responds indifferently and turns his eyes away, “Didn't Yin Jingsi love Ou Yixuan very much? Did she just look quietly at Ou Yixuan's leaving?”

How can she? Xia Ning responds in her heart.

“I have no idea about that. However, Yin Jingsi is alone now. She is quite lonely. Darling, can you allow Yin Jingyao to come back to her?”

Xia Ning suddenly realizes that saying words against her will is awful.

She knows the Yin's sisters well. They are not friendly at all. Once Yin Jingyao comes back, the first person she will deal with is Xia Ning.

Yin Jingyao is the precious daughter of a superior family. The phrase “to know the fault and correct it” simply doesn't exist in her dictionary.

Yi Yunrui thinks for a while. His eyes are dark, while the air around him tends to burst into fire. He holds Xia Ning, more and more tightly.

“Darling?” Xia Ning is aware of Yi Yunrui's strangeness. She says, “If you don't agree. Let it be. I understand. If Yin Jingyao comes back, it seems to give a slap on your face. So, I don't want to push you for that.”

“Hahaha!” Yi Yunrui laughs. He pats on Xia Ning's shoulder, “You Silly. It has nothing to do with my face. But I am afraid that Yin Jingyao will do something bad to you after she comes back.”

Xia Ning blinks her eyes, “I believe that my husband will protect me. I am not afraid of that.”

Hearing this, Yi Yunrui pauses. He stares at Xia Ning sincerely, “Of course. I will protect you all your life.”

Xia Ning feels warm. She smiles sweetly, “So, even if the Yin's sisters take any moves, my husband will protect me. What do I need to worry about?”

“OK. It is up to your decision. I agree.”

Xia Ning gently smiles and leans to Yi Yunrui's chest again.

Yi Yunrui looks at Xia Ning tenderly. After quite a while, he lifts his head and his soft eyes turn cold all of a sudden.

Sweetheart, it has gone so far, why are you still unwilling to tell me the truth?

Don't you trust me?

Or… Is there anything I didn't do well enough?

Knight XV is too big to enter the market. Yi Yunrui tells Zhang Hai to drive it back to the military compound and enjoys his time.

“Sweetheart, let's have a seafood supper. Do you like it?”

Looking at the big lobster in Yi Yunrui's hand, Xia Ning is surprised, “This lobster is so big. Can we two finish it?”

“I will be the chef. You definitely can eat it up. Here, boss, weigh this lobster, please.”

When they go home, Yi Yunrui takes a lot of seafood with him. Looking at the fresh seafood in the bucket, Xia Ning doubts that if it is really for two persons.

Around half an hour later, five dishes of seafood are served on the table.

The most eye-catching is the lobster sashimi in the center. The sashimi is cut extremely thin, showing off the chef's super knife-using ability.

And there are crab fried with crispy garlic, steamed turbot and steamed cockles. All look nice and taste good.

Xia Ning enjoys the foods cooked by Yi Yunrui. She can't help admiring that Commander Yi is an all-round husband.

They are having supper, while Xia Ning's phone rings. It is Gu Luan.

Xia Ning is going to answer the phone. Yi Yunrui says seriously, “Sweetheart, turn on your loudspeaker.”

Xia Ning is slightly shocked. With no hesitation, she presses the answer button and turns on the loudspeaker.

“Hello, Director Gu, have you had supper?”

“If I say no, would you come out with me for some?”

Actually, Gu Luan is kidding. But at this moment, Xia Ning sweats embarrassedly, “I am having supper with my husband now.”

“Oh. It seems that I have to get a wife soon for myself.” Gu Luan teases, “Xia Ning, please go with me to a celebration reception of Mayor Li of C City tomorrow evening.”

“Celebration reception of Mayor Li?”

“Yes. This reception actually is a celebration party for President Lei, who has won the bid for the right to develop and use a scenic spot in C City. Mayor Li deliberately holds the reception for him.

What Gu Luan says is about work and it is inconvenient for Xia Ning to refuse. She responds, “OK. I see. I will be there tomorrow evening.”

“Hum. Well, you are not going back for supper. Will Commander Yi agree?”

Xia Ning smiles, “Director Gu is kidding. My husband is fine with that. Don't worry.” Saying this, Xia Ning glances at Yi Yunrui.

“Well. Then, we will go there together. That's all. Bye.”

Xia Ning hangs up and looks at Yi Yunrui. She has not spoken anything, while Yi Yunrui says, “I heard that there was a seaside scenic spot under development. There were many sponsors bidding for it. This president Lei, if I don't guess wrong, must be Lei Buyang, the president of Lei Long Multinational Group.

Lei Buyang, who is thirty-five now, set up Lei Long Property Management Co., Ltd when he was twenty-five. With ten years, he has enlarged his company by tens of times and become the leader in the commercial circle. And the company grows to be the current Lei Long Multinational Group.

Xia Ning nods, “I think it must be him.”

With Lei Buyang's interference, the scenic spot must be built into a five-star residential resort. This big project will need the initial funding of billions of yuan. It can tell how rich Lei Long Multinational Group is.

However, the name Lei Buyang…sounds very familiar, as if she heard it before.

The reception will be held on the top floor of Lei's Enterprise Building. A party on the top floor of a skyscraper over one hundred storeys is imaginably spectacular.

Considering that the attendees to the reception are all famous people from the upper class of the society, Xia Ning wears a light blue dress with a white jacket. Though it is not gorgeous, it looks lively and solemn. Her long black hairs drape on her shoulders. She looks quiet and easy with a sense of smartness, a scene to brighten people's eyes.

Gu Luan smiles to admire Xia Ning's cute dressing. After quite a while, he says, “You look like a shining sapphire.”

Xia Ning smiles shily, “I don't have a good-looking body shape for the elegant and graceful nightdress. I dress like this and you take me with you. Are you afraid that you will be laughed at by others?”

“Nonsense! I will be afraid that someone may take you away.”

Xia Ning holds her smile, “Will you? Director Gu is making fun of me.”

As imagined, there are many people from the upper class in the party. Everyone is dressed luxuriously. Their shining jewelry looks like the stars in the sky, extremely eye-catching.

When Xia Ning and Gu Luan enter, Secretary Zhou notices them at once. He comes immediately to them, “Director Gu, Mrs. Xia. This way, please. Mayor Li has been waiting for you.”

Xia Ning lifts her eyebrows. Mayor Li is specially waiting for them? It seems that they are given a great honor.

Mayor Li is over fifty years old. He looks strong. Though the hairs by his ears is a little gray, his face and expressions remind people of his heroic history.

Seeing Xia Ning and Gu Luan, Mayor Li at once comes to them. He shakes hands with them sincerely and they have a talk.

After talking with Gu Luan about something in the news industry, Mayor Li turns around and asks Xia Ning, “Mrs. Yi, I planned to invite Commander Yi to the party, but I thought it quite inconvenient for the commander to attend such a party because of his special identity. So, I canceled the plan. I hope that Commander Yi will not mind that.”

The party, the government and the military are three divisions of different duties, though under the same system. As regulated by some rule, people of the military department are not allowed to attend all kinds of social activities to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. What Mayor Li says is correct.

“Mayor Li, it doesn't matter. Rui understands.”

“Well, good. Come here, please sit down for a conversation.” Mayor Li sincerely greets them.

When Mayor Li is talking with them, Secretary Zhou comes to them hurriedly and whispers by Mayor Li's ear. Mayor Li slightly changes his color, “Where is he? Has he arrived here?”
