Chapter 81 All Are Harmful
Gu Luan flashes his eyes, “Well. Err, I gotta learn from Commander Yi when I have time.”
Gu Luan is punning, but he doesn’t make it clear. They two men look at each other and smile meaningfully.
Xia Ning blinks her eyes. It seems that these men are in a fight for something. She asks, “Director Gu, may I ask you a personal question?”
“Yes?”
Xia Ning hesitates, “Do you have a girlfriend?”
Gu Luan’s smile gets bigger. He shakes his head, “No, temporarily.”
“Oh.” Xia Ning nods, “Err, sorry. I am prying.”
“You are the Director of Entertainment News Program in our company. Being prying is a must.”
Hearing what Gu Luan says, Xia Ning twitches her eyebrows.
“Is Ning the Director of Entertainment News Program?” Yi Yunrui asks and looks at Xia Ning.
Xia Ning’s heart tightens. Yi Yunrui and she have always been independent in their works and seldom talk about those. Yi Yunrui knows that she is in charge of a department, but he is not clear about her exact position.
Yi Yunrui’s eyes flash. Xia Ning knows that Yi Yunrui must have some ideas.
“Ugh, I am a newcomer to the company. As a matter of fact, the entertainment news program involves a lot of activities and news will be updated frequently. It is quite a challenge to grab the latest news. So, I will cherish the opportunity given by the company.” Xia Ning explains slowly.
Yi Yunrui is silent. He doesn’t respond.
Aware of the awkward atmosphere, Gu Luan glances at his Rolex watch, “Hum, it is late. I am leaving for the company. Ning, have a good rest. If there is any important work, I will give you a call.”
“OK. Thank you.”
They say goodbye and Gu Luan goes back to the company.
Once Gu Luan is gone, Yi Yunrui stares at Xia Ning meaningfully for quite a while.
Xia Ning hesitates, “Don’t you...want me to be the director of this program?”
Yi Yunrui freezes his eyes, “You forget. What you should call me?”
Xia Ning’s heart jumps. She curls her lips, “Darling...”
“Hum.” Yi Yunrui nods with satisfaction. He sits by her side, “I know that you are capable enough to take this position. However, I am just... a little worried.”
“Worried about what?”
Yi Yunrui opens his mouth but doesn’t tell what he is worried about, “Nothing. I think too much...I am afraid that you can’t use your F3 temporarily. You may need to buy a new car.”
“Ah...” Xia Ning feels it is a pity, “I have used it for only half a month. Err.”
Yi Yunrui smiles and touches her forehead, “My Mrs. Commander, are you going to drive your F3 to interview the famous people? You will need to have a new car.”
Xia Ning thinks for a while, “Err, you are right. I didn’t think about this.” Her position changes, and so does her identity. She still keeps the idea she stuck to three years ago. Yi Yunrui is right. It is time to change.
C city is a new start for her. She can’t stick to the thought that she insists on when lives in B city. After all, everything moves on.
“Sweetheart.” Yi Yunrui strokes her hairs gently with his slim fingers, “No matter what you do, I will back you. As long as you think it right, I will take care of everything for whatever it may happen. So, don’t carry on too much pressure. Be happy. Will you?”
Hearing to Yi Yunrui, Xia Ning feels warm. Unconsciously, she leans to his strong chest, “My Darling is so excellent. I can’t but work hard. I will work harder. I can’t lag behind.”
“Silly.” Yi Yunrui holds her tightly, “What is most important is that we can stay together forever. That is enough.”
Xia Ning closes her eyes and enjoys the moment for herself.
In the afternoon, many people come to see Xia Ning, including Mei Ruo. Xia Ning wonders if she takes it wrong. She feels that Mei Ruo looks at her in an odd way. The complicated emotion makes her uneasy. How will Mei Ruo look upon the relation between Yi Yunrui and herself?
Yi Yunrui told simply what happened between Mei Ruo and him in the past. However, every sentence he delivered seems to contain a story. She wants to know more clearly, but she is afraid that she may remind Yi Yunrui of something at the bottom of his heart. It may be better to keep some things unknown.
She can pretend knowing nothing, but it doesn’t mean that Mei Ruo can. After all, Mei Ruo comes back, unlikely because she simply wants to be Yi Yunrui’s Political Commissar.
The nightmare she had the other night was too dark and cold. She was lonely and terrified. Every time when she is reminded of the dark, she is so scared that she holds Yi Yunrui tightly.
Undoubtedly, the warmth is only available in Yi Yunrui’s embrace.
She may be selfish and arrogant. But Yi Yunrui is her husband, at least he is at present. She has to defend her happiness.
Mei Ruo is a very strong opponent. Xia Ning is not sure what it will end up, but she has to try at least.
She has to try, no whether it works or not, she can accept the result with no regret.
She realizes that she has fallen in love with Yi Yunrui. When she sees Yi Yunrui stay with Mei Ruo, she will be very uncomfortable and jealous!
She will try her best to ignore what happened between Mei Ruo and Yi Yunrui in the past, but if Mei Ruo takes any further actions, she will fight back!
“Hum. It is comfortable.”
Li Baoer gets off the plane and stretches herself.
It takes one hour to fly from C city to B city. She slept in the plan for about half an hour.
She seldom takes a plane when traveling to other places. But she has just recovered and the time is tight. So, she makes an exception to fly.
It feels good and comfortable.
Li Baoer pulls her bag and can’t help thinking that the rich really have a good life.
Her mother has known that she would be back and prepared a lot of foods for her. The first thing Li Baoer does when gets home is to give a deposit card to her parents. She transfers to it some of the money from Xia Ning.
She has tens of thousands in her card. She planned to give all the money to her parents, but she was afraid that it would arouse their doubt. So, she only transfers some of the money to it and tells them that it is her salary for the first month.
Her parents are very happy to learn that their daughter is working in the World Era TV Station. Her father preaches a lecture to her for almost an hour, mainly telling her to work hard, while her mother tells her to be nice to Xia Ning, because it is very lucky for her to have such a friend.
As her mother mentioned, the man in the blind date is thirty-year-old. He lives in A residential community and does office work in the governmental department. With good condition, he is also a nice man. Li Baoer smiles and gives seeming admiration, but she doubts about it.
As Dai Zhongheng said, if he is good, why he is still single at the age of thirty?
Since Li Baoer has just got the job, she asks her parents not to tell too much about her and she will talk to the man herself.
It is arranged at three o’clock in the afternoon, in Tianxin Coffee Shop.
Li Baoer arrives at the coffee shop at two o’clock and finds a discreet seat to sit. She orders a cup of coffee. Drinking the coffee slowly, she keeps staring at the door.
There are not many people coming at this time. Li Baoer basically misses none of those coming in and out.
According to her parents, the man will bring a rose with him.
Rose...Li Baoer rolls her eyes at that. Which era does the rose signal come from?
Thinking of this, Li Baoer glances at the table where there is a red rose. It is red and fresh with some dew, yet it looks vulgar all the same.
At the time, a man walks into the coffee shop. He is in a black suit of traditional style and wears a pair of golden-frame glasses. His hairs are combed neatly, giving out shining light, obviously with gel. He carries a red rose with him.
Li Baoer flashes her eyes. It must be him
Li Guohua.
Li Guohua chooses an isolated seat and sits down. The clerk sends him a cup of water and has a small talk with him. After the clerk leaves, Li Guohua looks around.
Li Baoer waits. Well, he looks not bad. However, Gu Luan looks intelligent and fashionable in the same golden-frame glasses, while he looks old and dull in it matching with his clothes.
Li Baoer understands that Gu Luan is not comparable to ordinary men. She gives up the thought of comparison, thinking that she is old enough and the man seems all right excepts for his traditional appearance.
Li Baoer adjusts her mood and takes the rose. She walks to Li Guohua.
“Excuse me. Are you Mr. Li?” Li Baoer asks.
Seeing Li Baoer, Li Guohua’s eyes flash. He stands up, “Yes. I am Li Guohua. You must be Miss Li. Sit down, please.”
They sit down. They are talking when the clerk sends them the menu. Li Baoer orders some cupcakes and a cup of coffee, while Li Guohua struggles to make the decision.
About ten minutes later, Li Guohua orders a cup of apple juice.
Li Baoer gets impatient at the waiting.
He is a man. Does it necessary for him to spend ten minutes in ordering a drink?
“Does Miss Li like drinking coffee?” Li Guohua lifts his golden-frame glasses.
Li Baoer nods, “Yes. I drink some at work.”
“Well.” Li Guohua hesitates, “There are too many additives in coffee. If you drink much, it is bad for health.”
Li Baoer’s freezes her smile, “Err, I will drink less.”
The clerk serves the foods. The shape and color of the Strawberry Snow Cake are tempting. Li Baoer takes up the small spoon.
“Miss Li.” Li Guohua gives a cry.
“Yes?” Li Baoer pauses.
“As far as I know, there are even more chemical additives in the cake. And cake is too sweet. Eating too much of cake will damage the acid-alkaline balance of your body.”
Li Baoer twitches her eyebrows. This man is boring.
She may have lost her temper as usual. However, this man may be her future husband. She has to leave a good impression for this first meeting.
She puts down the small spoon and asks patiently, “Then in Mr. Li’s opinion, what should I eat?”
Li Guohua pauses. He takes a sip of the apple juice and frowns. He puts it aside and takes up the water, “Personally, I like water. Comparing with these things, water contains much less harmful substances.
