Xia Ning shouts at Yin Jingyao . Yin Jingyao is shocked . After a while, she collects herself, “Xia Ning, are you bitch insane? How dare you shout at me? I may spread your photos all over the world!”
“Then, do it! I wait to see!” Xia Ning responds . She furiously hangs up the phone .
It sucks . Xia Ning is still the wife of Yi Yunrui, how can these women openly come to challenge her one by one?
Xia Ning is angry . She cleans up the whole house until she is exhausted . She lies on the bed, when she remembers that she needs to work in the evening!
She glances at the time . It is past eight . Xia Ning rolls her eyes . God, she is really tired…
Well . She will take a nap before getting up to work .
With this plan, she closes her eyes . Soon, she falls asleep .
When she wakes up, it is already past one in midnight . Yi Yunrui hasn’t come back yet!
Consciously, Xia Ning takes up her phone and dials Yi Yunrui’s number . The phone rings for quite a while, but Yi Yunrui doesn’t answer it .
Xia Ning can’t believe it . She dials the number again . It still can’t get through .
Xia Ning feels her heart stuck . She throws her phone on the bed furiously .
Fine, he doesn’t answer her phone . She will not call him again!
Enraged by Yi Yunrui, Xia Ning can’t fall asleep any longer . She goes to the study to work .
Then, it is past three in the night, when her phone rings .
As if she is having the one hundred dash, Xia Ning runs to the bedroom . She looks at the phone . It is from Yi Yunrui .
“Sweetheart, I have just finished here . I am not going home tonight . Sorry . ”
Yi Yunrui sounds very tired . Xia Ning frowns . She wants to ask what happened .
“Oh…Then, take care of yourself . ”
She is very uncomfortable . She wants to ask what happened . However, when she speaks, the words change . Xia Ning gives a helpless sigh in her heart .

It is the first time for Yi Yunrui to stay outside at night in the past over two years .
In the following days, Yi Yunrui is very busy in the military region . He always goes to work early and comes home late . Xia Ning often stays at home alone . Left alone in the large house, Xia Ning feels very lonely .
Soon, Sunday arrives .
Xia Ning and Yi Yunrui go back to B City by the exclusive plane . It is said that the plane is arranged by the master of Yi Family .
Xia Ning instinctively feels uneasy, wondering why the exclusive plane is arranged for them just for going home .
When she gets to the Yi Villa, she sees her mother-in-law sitting in the center of the living room . It looks as if she is ready for a trial .
Xia Ning’s heart tightens . Consciously, she holds Yi Yunrui’s hand tightly .
Yi Yunrui also feels the tense . He greets Zheng Yao, “Mom, we are home . ”
Zheng Yao nods . She winks at her husband Yi Xian .
Yi Xian helplessly strokes his head . He walks to Yi Yunrui and pats on his shoulder, “Boy, come with me . We will walk around the military region . The commander said that he wanted to discuss with you about something . ”
“The commander?” Yi Yunrui is confused, “Discuss about something? Why didn’t I receive any notice…”
“Your father said so . It is so . Why? You have grown up and don’t believe your father?”
“…” Yi Yunrui can’t make any responses . He looks at Xia Ning, “Sweetheart, you stay with mom . I will be back soon . ”
Xia Ning nods . She lets go of Yi Yunrui’s hand .
She notices the cooperation between her father-in-law and mother-in-law . What her father-in-law does is to get Yi Yunrui away from her .
Since she has already been here . She has been “in the trap” . She is not going to escape .
Soon, Yi Yunrui and Yi Xian leave Yi Villa . Xia Ning sits by Zheng Yao . She clenches her hand so nervously that she feels her sweat in her palms .
Zheng Yao glances at Xia Ning, “Why? Are you afraid of your mother-in-law?”

Xia Ning is shocked . She tries to put on a smile, “No, I am not . ”
“No? Hum . You don’t know how to lie . ”
At the time, Nanny Huang serves hot tea . Xia Ning takes up the tea for a sip . The warm tea goes to her stomach and she feels a little calmer .
“Ning, you have married with Rui for over two years . Haven’t you?”
“Hum . ”
“When are you going to have a baby?”
“!” Not expecting that Zheng Yao will ask so directly, Xia Ning doesn’t know how to respond for an instant .
Zheng Yao sees Xia Ning hesitating . She is unpleased, “It is normal for people to get married and have babies . Why? Do you think that I disturb you?”
“No . Not at all . Mom, please don’t misunderstand . I don’t mean that . ” Xia Ning explains at once, “Rui is very busy recently . As to the baby issue, we will wait…”
“Still wait?” Zheng Yao raises her voice by eight degrees, “Xia Ning, you are already thirty . You are going to be an advanced age gravida if you go on waiting . It will be bad for the baby’s health!”
Xia Ning clenches her hands . She feels sad but she can’t tell .
What Zheng Yao says is correct . It is not suitable for her to delay . But the photos issue has not solved . How dare she have a baby?
“Hey, Xia Ning, are you listening to me? Why don’t you give me any responses? Where is your manners?”
Xia Ning feels her heart aching, “Sorry, Mom . We will try as soon as possible . Don’t worry . ”
Xia Ning gives her promise . Zheng Yao gives a sigh of relief . She takes a sip of the tea and glances at the clock on the wall . It is nine . “
“Normally, we will have lunch at half past twelve at noon . There are still three hours to go . Nanny has bought a lot of material in the kitchen . You may prepare the lunch today by yourself . Give the old lady a chance to taste your cooking . ”
Xia Ning is shocked . Seemingly, her mother-in-law gets Yi Yunrui away in order to ask Xia Ning to do the cooking .
Ha, she was wondering what a big deal it might be .

“It is OK for me to cook . I am just afraid that you may not like my cooking . ”
“It is nothing about like or dislike . You just do it as an ordinary family meal . ”
“Fine . I know, Mom . ”
Xia Ning gets some preparation and goes into the kitchen . Nanny Huang says, “Madam, if you need any other materials, you can tell me . I will buy them for you at once . ”
Xia Ning looks at the material bought by Nanny Huang . There are all kinds of them . Maybe nanny knew in advance that the mother-in-law would ask Xia Ning to cook, so, she prepared a lot of materials .
Thinking of this, Xia Ning smiles, “There is no need . Nanny, you have bought enough of them . Well, Nanny, do you know what dishes my mom likes?”
“The lady is basically not picky in food . But she has her requirements on the taste . She likes fresh food . ”
Fresh…
Xia Ning thinks for a while and starts to work at the lunch .
When Xia Ning stays in the kitchen, a red car goes into the garden . A young girl wearing brand clothes gets off . She sees Zheng Yao and greets her “Auntie” sweetly . Zheng Yao holds her hand and smiles happily . They come into the living room .
“Nanny, the girl looks pretty . Who is she?”
“Madam, she is Lu Xuan, the daughter Party Secretary Lu . The lady likes her very much and wants to introduce her to her eldest son . ”
Xia Ning is washing the vegetable . She pauses, “Nanny, my eldest brother is rarely at home . It is not easy for this Miss Lu to meet him . ”
Nanny Huang nods, “Yes . The young master seldom shows up . He is thirty-six years old already but still there is no news about his marriage . The lady is quite anxious . ”
Hearing this, Xia Ning teases, “It seems that my mother-in-law also introduced many girls to Rui before we got married . ”
“Madam, not only to Master Rui, the lady introduces quite some girls to all her three sons . However, she always respects the choice of her sons . Madam, you may not think too much about that . ”
Xia Ning hears Zheng Yao and Lu Xuan talk and laugh in the living room . She feels sad .
Among all Yi Yunrui’s “girl friends”, she is the one from a common family . She often feels inferior to the others .
Nanny Huang asks her not to think too much . How can she not think about that?
Lu Xuan stay for lunch . So, Xia Ning needs to prepare more dishes .
Around twelve at noon, Yi Xian and Yi Yunrui come back . Yi Yunrui doesn’t sit down for a rest . He goes straightly into the kitchen . When he sees his wife busy working there, he feels his heart aching .
Yi Yunrui rolls up his sleeves . He is going to help Xia Ning, but is stopped gently by Nanny Huang . Nanny Huang winks at him and points at the direction of Zheng Yao . She shakes her head at Yi Yunrui .
“Master Rui, lunch is almost ready . You may go out and wait . Miss Lu is there . ” Nanny Huang smiles and pushes Yi Yunrui .
Yi Yunrui doesn’t move . He stands there and looks at Xia Ning’s back quietly .
If he had known his mother told Xia Ning to come back to do the cooking, he would have never come back with her!
Xia Ning is aware that Yi Yunrui stands behind her, but she doesn’t plan to pay any attention to him . The foods are almost done . She is very busy with her own .
At half past twelve, the foods are done . Xia Ning looks at them and gives a sigh of relief .
Yi Yunrui wants to help carry the dishes out . But Nanny Huang draws him by force back to the living room . He sits in the living room and talks with Lu Xuan casually for a while . Then, Nanny Huang announces that lunch is ready .
Everyone comes to the dining room . There are ten dishes and a bowl of soup on the table . Yi Yunrui looks at the foods and Xia Ning, who stands aside . He feels very uncomfortable!
What is his mother doing?
They sit around the table . Zheng Yao talks and smiles with Lu Xuan . Yi Xian makes some responses sometimes . Xia Ning sits aside and eats the foods quietly .
Yi Yunrui sees Xia Ning’s silence . His eyebrows are almost twitched into a line . He picks a piece of sweet and sour sparerib for Xia Ning .
Zheng Yao tastes the food . She pauses and turns to Xia Ning, “Ning, the foods look quite good . But they are not tasty enough . You can come to learn from Nanny Huang when you have time . Will you?”
“Yes, Mom . ”
Aware of the embarrassment, Yi Xian interrupts, “Oh . I think Ning cooks well . Yao, look, there are ten dishes and a bowl of soup, all prepared by Ning alone . It is not easy for her . They are delicious . Hehe…”
Zheng Yao is unpleased to see his husband partial to Xia Ning . She wants to respond when her phone rings . Zheng Yao glances at the number and frowns . She presses the answer button .
“Hello…” Zheng Yao has only made her greeting when she is interrupted by the talker at the other end . She listens for a while and lifts her eyebrows . Then, she heavily puts down her chopsticks on the table .
