Xia Ning finds that she tends to get awake easily .
Her first action after opening her eyes is to reach for the phone .
Before she fell asleep, the phone was put there with the loudspeaker on . She could clearly hear Yi Yunrui’s breath and then naturally fell asleep .
However, she doesn’t know why she is awake . It seems that some tinny sound wakes her up .
She presses on the screen and finds that Yi Yunrui has hung up . It is two forty at night .
It’s two forty… there is still quite a long time before dawn . Why is she awake?
It is late at night and it is quiet everywhere . Xia Ning takes a deep breath and hears some tinny sounds from outside .
Ah?
She holds her breath and listens carefully .
There are sounds outside, very tinny sounds . It seems to be someone’s voice .
Thinking of this, Xia Ning tiptoes to the door and opens it lightly . She looks out .
“Have a good sleep . Don’t walk around . ”
The tinny voice is heard . Xia Ning recognizes that it is Yi Yunyi’s voice .
Then she hears the door being closed and sees Yi Yunyi walk to his own room .

Yi Yunyi comes out from Gu Ruoruo’s bedroom .
Xia Ning blinks her eyes . As far as she knows, Brother Yi Yunyi has his own house outside and he seldom comes home, not to mention staying at home overnight .
This evening, Yi Yunyi not only comes home, but also stays at home for the night . In the midnight, he even goes to see Gu Ruoruo . Seemingly, he goes to check on Gu Ruoruo’s wounds .
Xia Ning slightly lifts her lips and closes the door .
It seems that the elder Brother has…some feelings towards Gu Ruoruo .
Xia Ning goes back to her bed and sits there with her phone in a trance .
She wonders whether Yi Yunrui was sleeping . Every time when she woke up, she was always held by powerful arms . But today, the pillow beside her is empty .
She really misses him, very much .
It turns out that unconsciously she has been used to sleeping in Yi Yunrui’s embrace . Now, Yi Yunrui is not here and she can’t fall asleep .
She gives a light sigh and looks through the window to count the stars .
Xia Ning fell asleep late and couldn’t get up early the next day . When she wakes up, it is almost eleven .
Seeing the time, Xia Ning almost jumps up from the bed . Get up so late in her mother-in-law’s house . It is…
Hurriedly she gets dressed, does the washing and goes downstairs . Then she sees Zheng Yao, Wan Liqing and Gu Ruoruo chatting in the living room . They laugh from time to time .
Xia Ning gives a sigh of relief . She puts on a sunny smile: “Mom, Liqing, Ruoruo, good afternoon . ”

“Good afternoon, Sister Xia . ”
“Good afternoon, Director . ”
“You are awake . Come to talk with us . The two girls you bring here are really funny . They make me laugh for the whole day . ”
Zheng Yao says and waves her hand at Xia Ning .
Xia Ning smiles and walks to her . Zheng Yao holds her hand .
“Did you sleep well last night?” Zheng Yao asks kindly .
Xia Ning nods: “Yes, I slept well . Thank you, Mom . ”
“You did not have any breakfast . Are you hungry?”
Xia Ning is a little embarrassed: “Yes, a little . ”
“I can guess that . ” Saying this, Zheng Yao takes out her phone and dials a number and it gets through soon, “Yi, are you off work? We have got lunch ready . Ah? On the way? OK . We will wait for you . ”
Zheng Yao hangs up, smiling and says to Nanny Huang: “Nanny, Yi is coming soon . You may serve the lunch in fifteen minutes . ”
“OK . Madam . ”
Yi Yunyi comes back for lunch? Xia Ning is a little surprised . She glances at Gu Ruoruo . Seemingly that the elder brother pays great attention to Ruoruo .
Soon after Zheng Yao finishes her words, Yi Yunyi gets home . Seeing that Yi Yunyi comes back, Nanny Huang serves the hot dishes on the table . There are ten dishes and a bowl of soup .

Yi Yunyi seldom comes home for lunch . Therefore, this time, Zheng Yao told Nanny Huang to prepare more dishes .
Everyone considerately leaves the seat for Yi Yunyi to sit beside Gu Ruoruo . They have the lunch happily but don’t mention about them .
Xia Ning deliberately pays attention to Gu Ruoruo’s wounds . When she walks, she still limps . It seems that she can’t go with her to the exclusive interview .
But during the lunch, Xia Ning doesn’t mention it for fear that it will influence Gu Ruoruo’s mood .
Yi Yunyi picks foods for Gu Ruoruo from time to time . It seems very natural for him to do so . He smiles and talks . However, he is a little shy, which is noticed by some of them .
As a secretary of a provincial party committee, Yi Yunyi has been in the official circle for many years .
He has met all kinds of beautiful women, many of whom offer themselves to him . To be honest, Yi Yunyi never lacks beautiful women, but he is single all the time . As to those offering themselves to him, he also gets away from them in some tactful ways .
This time, Yi Yunyi initiatively stays at home for the night and comes back for lunch . It is easy to tell what he does all these for .
Zheng Yao looks at them meaningfully . Xia Ning is thinking whether she should report to Gu Luan .
After lunch, the fruits plate is served . Yi Yunyi continues to “serve” Gu Ruoruo .
“Uncle, I can manage myself . ” To stop Yi Yunyi giving her fruits continuously, Gu Ruoruo says first .
Yi Yunyi pauses: “OK . But you have got wounds . Is it convenient?”
“I hurt my feet only, not my hands . ”
“Ha!” Hearing this, Xia Ning finally can’t help laughing .
Yi Yunyi’s face slightly freezes .
“Ahem!” Yi Yunyi clears his throat and smiles chicly, “The hostess of Yi Villa has been teaching us since we were kids to take care of our guests sincerely . I was just afraid that Sister Gu was too shy to eat . Mom, am I right?”
In this way, part of the burden is shared by Zheng Yao . Zheng Yao glances at Yi Yunyi . Then she nods and smiles at Gu Ruoruo: “Yes . Ruoruo, don’t be overcautious . Eat more . ”
Xia Ning glances at the time . It is almost one o’clock . It is time to get the material ready and they will go to Yin Jingsi’s soon . ”
“Ning, are you going there at three this afternoon?” Yi Yunyi asks .
“Hum . We are leaving soon . ”
“Then, you can go by my car . ”
“Oh? Brother, aren’t you going back to the government office? L’oreal is not far from here . We can take a bus . ”
“It is all right . I don’t have important things to deal with this afternoon . I can give you a lift . ” Saying this, Yi Yunyi looks at Gu Ruoruo, “Ruoruo, you may stay here for your wounds . Don’t go there with Ning . ”
Hearing this, Gu Ruoruo curls her lips and bites the fruit forcefully .
“Hahaha!” Yi Yunyi laughs . He turns to Xia Ning: “Ning, you seldom come back . Why don’t you stay for some days?”
Xia Ning instinctively wants to refuse, but she suddenly realizes that Yi Yunyi implies something in his words .
Xia Ning looks at Gu Ruoruo and asks meaningfully: “Ruoruo, you have got wounds on your feet . Why not stay here for some other days . What do you think?”
Gu Ruoruo blinks her eyes and says helplessly: “If only we could have the interview with Yin Jingsi in two days . ”
