Gu Luan drives Xia Ning back to the parking . When Xia Ning gets in her car, Gu Luan suddenly grasps her by her hand .
Xia Ning is shocked . She darkens her face and instinctively throws Gu Luan’s hand away: “Director Gu, what do you want to do?”
Gu Luan is surprised by Xia Ning’s reaction . He feels a little embarrassed: “Sorry . I am too impulsive . I just want to tell you that you don’t have to bear everything by yourself . It may be helpful to have someone to help with some things . ”
Xia Ning pauses for a while, saying: “Thank you . ”
Then, Xia Ning closes the door and drives away fast .
It is almost eight in the evening when she gets back to the military compound . Xia Ning parks the car and goes upstairs hurriedly .
She doesn’t know whether Yi Yunrui has come back .
She arrives at the door . Before she presses the bell, the door is opened .
Xia Ning hesitates . It seems that Yi Yunrui has got home .
But how can he know that she will get home at this time?
Wait . Did Yi Yunrui see her car through the window?
Xia Ning goes in . She changes her shoes . Then, she sees the lamp in the living room not on . Only the lamp at the entrance is on . It is dark inside . Vaguely, she can see Yi Yunrui’s tall shape sitting in the living room . The air smells like cigarette .
It seems…something is wrong .
Xia Ning is nervous . Does Yi Yunrui know what happened?
Xia Ning closes the door and walks in . She turns on the ceiling lamp: “Why don’t you turn on the lamp?”
Yi Yunrui looks at her . His eyes are sharp and deep, saying: “You are not here . It doesn’t matter whether the lamp is on or not . ”
Xia Ning’s heart tightens .
What does he mean?
“Oh…It is different . It is dark without light . ” Xia Ning looks around the living room . Except that there is a pile of cigarette butts in the ashtray, it seems nothing changes .
Yi Yunrui is silent . He lights another cigarette .

Xia Ning frowns . She goes to him and grabs the cigarette: “You have had a lot . Don’t smoke . Have you had supper?”
“Have you?”
“I…I have a little . ” Xia Ning feels guilty . She pours the cigarette butts into the rubbish bin .
Yi Yunrui looks at Xia Ning . He blinks his eyes: “Have you finished your work?”
Xia Ning is kind of stuck “Hum . Yes . Have you had supper?”
Yi Yunrui doesn’t respond . He holds his phone tightly, as if he is restraining something .
Xia Ning feels very unsure when she sees Yi Yunrui’s reactions . She is very clear about how well-informed Yi Yunrui is . He might have known something .
“I go to cook some noodles . We may have together . ” It doesn’t matter whether Yi Yunrui has had any supper . She is not very full and can have an additional meal .
Xia Ning is going to leave . But her hand is caught and drawn forcefully by Yi Yunrui . She cries and falls into his embrace .
“Where did you go just now?”
His eyes are as sharp as that of an eagle which can look deep into her soul directly . At the moment, Xia Ning feels that she can’t hide herself at all . Instead, she is forced to show herself frankly in front of Yi Yunrui .
“My…my company…”
“Don’t mention your company to me!” Yi Yunrui roars to interrupt her . He fails to restrain himself and bursts into a fury, “Why didn’t you tell me that you went for dinner with Gu Luan?”
Xia Ning is shocked: “Did you follow me?”
Yi Yunrui blinks his eyes . The sense of danger makes the temperature around drop as if the air is frozen .
“Follow? Xia Ning, you are my wife! How can you talk to me in this way?”
When he received the call from An Zeyou and learnt about it, he had the desire to shoot Gu Luan to death at once .
It has been twenty years that he has never been so angry ever!
As a matter of fact, An Zeyou’s call is just the fuse . The real cause is the photos in his phone sent by someone unknown, the photos of Xia Ning’s being with Gu Luan!
How…how can it happen?

When he saw the photos, he hesitated . He believed that the truth might not be like what he thought .
But why did she go out with Gu Luan for dinner without telling him!
Yi Yunrui’s eyes are red and blue veins stand out on his temples . He is crazily mad .
Xia Ning’s heart trembles . In the past over two years, he has never spoken hard on her . But he is so furious now .
“I…” Faced with Yi Yunrui’s rage, Xia Ning is almost speechless .
It is right . She hid it from him .
Xia Ning feels guilty and she wants to say “Sorry”, but the photos pop up in her brain and her body can’t help shivering!
“Rui . ” Xia Ning takes several breaths to calm down herself and asks tentatively, “Do you believe what is shown in the photos?”
Yi Yunrui pauses . For an instant, he doesn’t know how to respond to Xia Ning .
No . Of course he doesn’t believe that .
But the photos are there . He is so furious that he has the desire to kill Gu Luan .
Yi Yunrui stares at Xia Ning for quite a while and he takes a deep breath . Then, he hits the wall with his fist .
Not expecting Yi Yunrui will do that, Xia Ning is shocked .
The joints of Yi Yunrui’s fist are pale . He closes his eyes and opens them again after quite a while: “Xia Ning, I am your husband . All your life, you can love me only!”
The overbearing words sound so moving to Xia Ning at this moment .
Xia Ning’s eyes are blurred with tears . Rui, if you know about the photos, will you still say these words to me?
Looking at Xia Ning’s tearing bright eyes, Yi Yunrui’s fierce fury mysteriously disappears all of a sudden!
Yi Yunrui hugs the woman in his embrace . At this second, what’s inside his heart is love and care only .
“I…” Yi Yunrui wants to say something more, but he realizes that he is holding her very forcefully . He feels nervous and loosens his hand at once . Then, he rolls up her sleeves and sees that there are five red marks on her white skin . Yi Yunrui feels so guilty that he wants to slap himself, “Sweetheart, I am sorry . I hurt you . Sit here, I go to bring the medicine kit . ”
Saying this, Yi Yunrui lets go of Xia Ning and turns to leave . He has just taken several steps when he finds that his waist is embraced by two white arms .

“Rui, don’t go . Don’t leave me…”
Yi Yunrui trembles!
Xia Ning leans on Yi Yunrui’s back and fails to stop her tears pouring from her eyes . At the moment he turned to leave, she felt as if something important was drawn away from her . She was scared, very much!
Really, she doesn’t want him to go . She doesn’t want him to leave her!
Being aware of her trembling, Yi Yunrui’s heart tightens .
Damn! He really scared her!
Damn it! What was he freaking out about just now?
Yi Yunrui turns around to hug Xia Ning tightly and pats on her back . He comforts her, “I am not going . I will never leave you . Don’t be afraid . I will never leave you . Sorry…
Yi Yunrui tenderly comforts her . However, he is upset to find that the more he tries, the more sadly she cries . He feels so regretful that he peels himself into pieces almost a thousand times in his heart .
He feels his heart aching . If she keeps crying like this, the first one to collapse and die of pain will be him .
He wipes her tears with his tough palms again and again . At this moment, Commander Yi finally understands why people say that women are made of water .
He apologizes and repeats his gentle words again and again, while the woman in his embrace is still sobbing . Yi Yunrui gives a long sigh and holds Xia Ning tightly . He buries his head into her hairs and bears the pain of twitches in his heart .
Xia Ning doesn’t know how long she keeps crying and finally she cries herself to sleep . When she wakes up in the midnight, she finds that she is in Yi Yunrui’s embrace . She is hugged tightly by the forceful arms, as if he is afraid that she may fly away .
She lifts to look at his handsome face and her heart can’t help beating more rapidly .
He is a perfect man .
Her husband is a perfect person with his background, his capability or his appearance .
He pampers her and loves her . Even when he is in a huge rage, he can’t bear to speak hard on her .
She might have done good things in her previous life to earn him as her husband .
However, does someone like her worth his protection for a lifetime?
She can hardly do anything for him . Even as a wife, she can’t carry on the basic duty well .
What does she have to own such a perfect man?
The moonlight comes through the window . Xia Ning stares blankly at Yi Yunrui for quite a while . Then, she holds out her hand and slowly draws the outline of him in the air .
This time, she was awake when he gets up . But she doesn’t let him know .
She half closes her eyes and sees him gently apply the medicine for her and cautiously go to prepare breakfast for her . Then, he comes back quietly to the room and takes a note to write something on before putting it by her pillow .
After that, he looks at her for quite a while and gently gives her a kiss on her forehead…
Xia Ning hears him close the door . She opens her eyes . Tears flow to her cheeks .
Recently, she finds that she tends to tear easily .
She finds that…she really loves him, very much .
She can’t imagine the scene that he leaves her when he knows about the photos .
She doesn’t know if she can bear the pain at that time .
Xia Ning gives a sigh . She wipes the tears on her face and buries her head into the quilt .
Rui…Don’t be so kind to me, will you?
Xia Ning is woken up by the alarm clock . She hurriedly gets dressed and has two bowls of porridge . She even eats up the three steamed stuffed buns .
She finds that she tends to eat more and more .
She hurriedly goes back to the office . She meets Gu Ruoruo and is told that Gu Luan is looking for her . He is waiting for her in the Director Office .
Xia Ning frowns . Didn’t she make it clear by what she said yesterday?
She enters the Director Office and realizes that she misunderstands . Wan Liqing is also here .
She looks at Wan Liqing while Wan Liqing is also looking at her with hostility in her eyes .
Hostility? Xia Ning is slightly shocked . Does she make a mistake?
Gu Luan glances at her and gently smiles: “Ning, do you mind making a cup of coffee for Director Wan and me respectively?”
Xia Ning blinks her eyes . She unconsciously glances at Wan Liqing . She sees Wan Liqing mildly smiling at her silently . Not knowing why, Xia Ning feels a chill wind blowing across her heart .
