Heyday Love: A Heaven-sent Husband

Chapter 41



Chapter 41: Indifference

Xia Ning is surprised. What brings Yin Jingyao here?

How does she know this place?

Xia Ning looks at Yi Yunrui and says, “I will open the door.”

Yi Yunrui stops her, “Go on with the dinner.”

Yi Yunrui stands up and walks to the door. He opens the door and looks at Yin Jingyao, who dresses up beautifully.

The clothes she wears are eye-catching, but in Yi Yunrui’s eyes, it is blinding.

Every time Yin Jingyao shows up in front of him, he gets the feeling that she overdresses herself.

“Rui.” Yin Jingyao sees Yi Yunrui and her heart beats quickly. She is excited, yet jealous as well.

He is different from the way he usually is. Though he wears the army uniform as always, there seems to be something more in him.

He often keeps a straight face and even the air surrounds him seems to be cold. People feel reluctant about getting near him. Today, there is a touch of gentleness and tenderness in him, which is attractive.

“What do you want?” Yi Yunrui asks, and his handsome face wears no emotions.

Yin Jingyao feels her heart sinks. She curls her lips, “Rui. Do you want me to stand outside and speak to you?”

“I am having dinner with Ning. It is not convenient. If you want to say anything, please say it here.”

Being kept away, Yin Jingyao is sad, “I have something to say, but not to you. I want to talk with Xia Ning.”

“There is nothing to talk about.” Yi Yunrui refuses directly, “She is my wife. That is it.”

Saying this, Yi Yunrui turns back and heads inside. Unexpectedly, Yin Jingyao cries, “Xia Ning. I want to have a talk with you. May I come in?”

Xia Ning hears Yin Jingyao call her name. She is too polite to say no, though she really doesn’t want to meet her.

“Let her in.” Knowing that Yin Jingyao will not give up, Xia Ning says to Yi Yunrui who now wears a long face.

Yi Yunrui stares at Yin Jingyao for a while and then goes back to the room.

The stare is cold to her bone. Yin Jingyao can’t help shivering. She unconsciously lifts her pink coat upward.

Yin Jingyao enters the room. What she sees first is the table in the living room. There are three dishes and a bowl of soup on it. Yi Yunrui goes to sit by Xia Ning. It seems they were having dinner.

Yin Jingyao feels painful as if her heart is stabbed by a knife. She blinks her charming eyes and jealousy grows in her heart madly.

She has known Yi Yunrui for eight years. Not to mention to have dinner with Yi Yunrui, it is extremely rare for her to sit by his side.

He is always cold and seldom talks with women. In the past, she would be very satisfied when he talked with her even for a little while. At least, she would feel that she was different from other women. But now… the man she has loved secretly for eight years is sitting with another woman and giving all his love to that woman. She is so mad that she thinks she may kill someone.

Yin Jingyao takes a deep breath and swallows the urge of shooting Xia Ning. She steps forward and sits by Yi Yunrui.

Yi Yunrui frowns on her move!

“Miss Yin, excuse me for a second. I will go get you a cup of tea.” Xia Ning says and gets up.

“Did you cook all these?” Yin Jingyao has a look at the dishes on the table. They look good, at least better than those in the army canteen. No wonder Yi Yunrui is willing to eat here.

Xia Ning is embarrassed, “No, I did not. Rui did.”

Hearing this, Yin Jingyao widens her eyes immediately. She looks at Yi Yunrui unbelievably.

What? Rui did? Did she hear that right?

How come she doesn’t know that Rui can cook?

“If you don’t mind, would you bring me a pair of chopsticks? I happen to have no dinner yet.”

“OK.” Xia Ning responds and fetches a pair of clean chopsticks soon.

She brings a bowl of rice to Yin Jingyao and smiles, “Sorry. I don’t know you will come. So…”

“You are lucky.” Yin Jingyao takes the rice from Xia Ning and begins to eat.

The dishes are tasty, no worse than those made by a chef. However, she can’t stop her heart from aching.

Yin Jingyao just eats a little and stops soon. She wipes her lips and takes a sip of the hot tea. Her heart is bleeding.

She has been dreaming of this scene for eight years and now it comes true, but she is not the hostess.

“Don’t you like it? You eat too little.” Xia Ning asks politely and steals a glance at Yi Yunrui.

Ever since Yin Jingyao showed up, Yi Yunrui has put on a serious look on his face. Xia Ning is puzzled. Haven’t they known each other for a long time? Why do they look like enemies?

“I have had enough.” Yin Jingyao lowers her eyes slightly and hides the emotion.

“Don’t you have something to talk with Ning?” Yi Yunrui who looks serious now speaks.

“Hum.” Yin Jingyao collects herself and looks to Xia Ning, “Miss Xia, to be honest, I came from Yi Villa. Xiao Tingting and Aunt Zheng Ran are there now. They seem to be very angry about the incident related with you. Aunt Zheng wanted to come here herself, but she didn’t feel well and couldn’t take unpleasant news anymore. So, I am here to see what do you intend to do.”

Xia Ning is silent for a while and shakes her head, “I don’t intend to do anything. I am no longer an employee of TIME. I have nothing to do with TIME’s problem.”

The report of the exclusive interview was revised by Xiao Tingting. If Yi Yunrui did not come, Xia Ning must be forced to take responsibility for that.

“The incident is caused by you. Do you think you can just simply walk away like that?” Yin Jingyao raises her voice slightly.

Staring at Yin Jingyao’s questioning eyes, Xia Ning says, “I didn’t walk away. I was fired.”

Yin Jingyao is stunned but she continues, “It is good to say. Who fired you? I heard that you quitted and threw the trouble to Tingting…”

“She was fired by your brother-in-law.” Yi Yunrui says, “Major Yin, please mind your tone. Ning is not your criminal. She doesn’t have the duty to answer any of your questions.”

Yi Yunrui sounds angry. Yin Jingyao pauses, “Sorry. Aunt Zheng is not in good health. I just don’t want her to be shocked by anger.”

“Do you?” Yi Yunrui smiles indifferently, “The aunt you just mentioned is my mother. If she wants to blame someone for the incident, it shall not be done by an outsider like you.”

Yin Jingyao is shocked! Yi Yunrui just said that she is an… outsider…

“I will talk to my mother. This is our family affair. Miss Yin, please mind your own business.” Yi Yunrui says and points at the door, “Have you finished your words? Then we will see you off here.”

Yin Jingyao is shocked, not expecting that Yi Yunrui can be so cold to her. After quite a while, she trembles and says, “Rui, we have known each other for eight years. Why do you do this to me? I really take Aunt Zheng Yao as my mother. Now, Tingting can’t stop crying and the whole Yi Villa is in a mess. Why don’t you go have a look? Is it that Xia Ning is more important than Aunt Zheng Yao in your eyes?”
