Chapter 152 She Is Afraid.

“Don’t worry. I have just called your mother-in-law.” Gu Luan gently pats on Xia Ning’s shoulder.

Xia Ning is surprised: “You made a call?”

“Hum. I told them that I asked you to go to another place for business and would go back in a few days.”

Though the reason is not good enough, it may be reasonable for several days.

In addition, Gu Luan is her director. Even If Zheng Yao doubts it, she will not think it in a bad way.

Xia Ning gives a sigh of relief: “Thank you, Director.”

Gu Luan pauses for a while and says slowly: “If I had known Yin Jingsi would do such things, I surely would not have asked you to do the exclusive interview for her.”

Xia Ning’s heart tightens. She smiles mildly: “Something expected to come will finally come. Even if I didn’t come back this time, she will also catch another time for me. Let it be. It is my fault to be careless. I am too stupid. I can’t blame others for that.”

“Xia Ning.” He knows that even now she pretends to be strong, as a woman, she is very weak at this time, “Don’t think too much. Maybe it is not as bad as you think. Anyway, I will stay in the hospital these days to look after you

Xia Ning is shocked: “Director, you are so busy. Don’t delay your real business. I only have some scratches. I can look after myself. You…”

“I am not busy these days.” Gu Luan waves his hand to interrupt, “Last time, when I was drunk and suffered gastrorrhagia, didn’t you look after me in the hospital, too? You may take it as that I repay you. All right?”

“But…” Anyway, Gu Luan has his identity and he is a single man. It is not suitable. Xia Ning says, “Well, you stay here to look after me. Ruoruo will definitely disagree with that. You may go now.”

When Gu Ruoruo is mentioned, Gu Luan frowns: “What does a little girl like her understand? As regards Ruoruo, I may apologize to you. I will explain to her after I go back. This problem is caused by me. You may give me the chance to make amends.”

Gu Luan sees that Xia Ning still wants to say something. He stands up: “The flowers on the table wither. I may go out to buy some new ones.”

Saying this, Gu Luan turns to walk out of the room. He turns back after several steps: “If anything happens, you may call me. I will come back soon.”

Seeing Gu Luan leave the room, leaving her alone, Xia Ning feels sad in an instant.

What…will Yin Jingsi do next?

Yin Jingsi has taken actions against her. The woman must have planned the next steps.

Last evening, she knew nothing after she fainted. When Gu Luan got there, something had happened.

She is at a disadvantage under the current circumstance.

She doesn’t know what Yin Jingsi has done to her.

She looks around the empty room and wants to meet Yi Yunrui badly at the moment.

She misses him, very much.

However, she feels that happiness is gradually going away from her.

It is just like the dream she had just now. Yi Yunrui is going to leave her…

She remembers what happened in her dream. As if a sharp knife is giving another cut in her bleeding wound, she feels so painful that unconsciously, her eyes are blurred with tears.

She clearly remembers what Yin Jingsi said. Her laughter scared her.

She heard Gu Luan said that she and Ou Yixuan were lying on the same bed…

She feels overwhelmingly sad and tears rush out from her eyes…

Darling…where are you…

Wait, Yi Yunrui called her last night.

The thought flashes in her brain. Xia Ning takes a deep breath and wipes the tears on her face. She looks around for her phone.

It was put right on the bed.

Xia Ning takes it over and finds the phone not turned on yet.

Xia Ning holds the phone tightly but can’t make the decision. Finally, she takes a deep breath.

Something expected to come will come. Last evening, Yin Jingsi hung up Yi Yunrui’s phone. Xia Ning believes that Yi Yunrui must be very worried now.

She presses the button and turns the phone on. Not waiting for her to dial the number, the phone receives a lot of messages.

The message alarm keeps ringing for ten seconds continuously. Xia Ning’s hand can’t help trembling.

All the messages are sent from Yi Yunrui.

Sweetheart, why don’t you answer my call?

Sweetheart, have you gone to bed?

Sweetheart, give me a call when you wake up.

Sweetheart, is it inconvenient for you? I am waiting for your call.

Sweetheart, did anything happen?

Sweetheart…

Reading the messages one by one, Xia Ning tears over her face.

These messages are just like the shocks of a bell, which knock at her heart. All of a sudden, she feels unutterably scared and can’t get away from the horror.

Yi Yunrui, if you know what happened to me last night, will you leave me?

She knows that she loves Yi Yunrui deeply. If Yi Yunrui leaves her, she is not sure whether she can withstand it.

She is afraid. She is really afraid!

As it shows in the message reminder, Yi Yunrui called her dozens of times. She glances at the time. It is past ten in the morning.

Xia Ning feels unsure, wondering if Yi Yunrui is busy. If the call gets through, how can she answer Yi Yunrui’s questions?

How to answer?

When Xia Ning is hesitating, the phone rings.

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

It is Yi Yunrui!

Xia Ning’s heart tightens. Her hand suddenly shakes and the phone falls onto the bed.

Looking at the screen and hearing the sweet music, Xia Ning’s eyes are blurred with tears.

Can she still …be with Yi Yunrui till they are old?

Xia Ning stares at the phone blankly for quite a while but doesn’t reach to answer the call.

Gu Luan comes back and he is shocked to find what Xia Ning looks like.

“Ning. What’s wrong with you? Ning!” Seeing that Xia Ning is lost in confusion, Gu Luan feels as if his heart is stabbed forcefully by something. He feels so painful that his brain is blank.

After being shaken by Gu Luan, Xia Ning collects herself and she finds that the phone is still ringing.

God. What is she doing?

Xia Ning takes up the phone hurriedly and presses the answer button.

“Sweetheart, where are you? Why was your phone off for a whole night? Why didn’t you answer my call?”

Not waiting for Xia Ning to speak, Yi Yunrui’s anxious voice is heard from the other end of the phone.

Xia Ning panics and doesn’t know how to respond for quite a while.

“Sweetheart?” Aware that it is unusual here, Yi Yunrui suddenly says in a deep voice, “Excuse me, who is that speaking?”

“Hum…” Xia Ning’s heart tightens, “It, it is me.”

Hearing Xia Ning’s voice, Yi Yunrui gives a sigh of relief. Soon, he realizes that Xia Ning’s voice is trembling. He is worried. “Sweetheart, why did you turn off the phone? What happened?”

“No. Nothing. Last evening…Director also came to B City and we had fun outside. I drank some wine…I have just woken up. Sorry, I make you worried for a whole night.”

“Did Gu Luan also come to B City?” Yi Yunrui asks seriously.

“Hum. He came last evening, for the company’s business. I will take a business trip with him these days. Darling, don’t worry about me.”

Yi Yunrui thinks for quite a while and says: “Take a business trip for several days?”

“About…three days. It depends. When I come home, I will tell you at once.”

“Hum. Next time, before you turn off the phone or you go to sleep, send me a message. Then, I will not call you again.”

“OK. I know. It won’t happen again. Sorry.”

Yi Yunrui frowns: “No any sorry again. We are husband and wife.” Saying this, Yi Yunrui pauses, “Sweetheart, are you…”

Yi Yunrui suddenly stops speaking here. Xia Ning is confused: “What?”

Yi Yunrui pauses for a while: “Nothing. The military exercise is going to finish. I may come back in a few days. Sweetheart, you…wait for my coming back.”

“Hum. I wait for you.”

Hearing the calm voice of Xia Ning, Yi Yunrui frowns and his eyebrows twitch.

Something is very wrong with Ning’s tone.

It seems…that she is restraining something.

Did anything happen to Ning?

Thinking of this, Yi Yunrui feels anxious and he has the wish to transfer himself and show up by her side.

“Rui, I may go to wash my face. We may talk later. That is all. Bye!”

Xia Ning finishes her words and hangs up hurriedly.

Staring at the screen telling that the other speaker has hung up, Yi Yunrui doesn’t speak for quite a while.

Though Xia Ning hangs up very fast, he still hears some noise.

It sounds like someone opening the door and coming in…

Wait. He talked with Ning for quite a while, while she hadn’t told him where she was!

But it is sure that Ning was not in Yi Villa.

Where was she? Why did she hang up so hurriedly?

Yi Yunrui lifts his head and looks meaningfully through the window at the snow which is getting thicker and thicker. It snows more and more heavily.

Seeing the nurse change the infusion bottle, Xia Ning give a sign of relief.

Luckily, she hung up quickly. Or, if Yi Yunrui heard, it would be troublesome.

Gu Luan brings a bunch of fresh lilies with him. He takes the old flowers away and replaces them with fresh ones.

He drops the withered flowers into the rubbish bin and then sits by Xia Ning, “Are you going to tell Commander Yi what happened?”

Xia Ning’s heart tightens. Her first reaction is to shake her head.

Gu Luan darkens his eyes: “Commander Yi is wise. He would find out what happened very soon. Won’t it be better for you to tell him the truth?”

Xia Ning curls her lips. She of course knows “confession is to be forgiven.”

But the consequence of being forgiven may be that she may lose her love.

She loves Yi Yunrui very much and she believes that Yi Yunrui cares for her very much, but she always feels unsure when she sees Yi Yunrui’s efforts.

Not to mention others, even she herself can’t understand what Yi Yunrui loves her for?

What does she have to keep Yi Yunrui staying with her for the whole life?

To speak it frankly, Which man can withstand the problem of being betrayed by his wife?

She is very clear what Yin Jingsi’s trick really means.

She knows that confession is necessary, but she hasn’t put up the courage for that.

She is afraid of losing him. She is really afraid of that.

She is afraid that the dream will come true.

“Director Gu, thank you for your reminding. I know what I should do…” Xia Ning has not finished her words, when her phone rings again.
