Chapter 107 - Raging Fire
Chapter 107 Raging Fire
Yi Yunrui slightly pauses, “About Mei Ruo, I like her. But I love you. It is different.”
Xia Ning smiles mildly: “In Commander Yi’s opinion, is wife the most important?”
“Well…” Yi Yunrui hesitates, “Wife is as important as my nation.”
Xia Ning lifts her eyebrows. He is a real army man. He thinks like an army man.
“Then, can you make the steak now?”
Yi Yunrui glances at the time: “Hum. Seemingly the beef has got its flavor. Sweetheart, can you wait in the living room? There is soot here.”
“No, I want to stay here.” Xia Ning leans on the door, telling that she is not to go.
Yi Yunrui is helpless: “Sweetheart, you are giving me pressure here…”
“Will Commander Yi also feel pressure?” Xia Ning is surprised, “Aren’t they only two pieces of steak?”
Yi Yunrui takes the ladle: “Eating is an important issue of life. Don’t look down upon these two pieces of steak. They are food for us this evening.”
“Haha!” Xia Ning laughs, “You said that if it didn’t taste good, we could go to the restaurant downstairs, so you have a second chance.”
Yi Yunrui glances at Xia Ning and turns back to fry the steak carefully. After a while, he says: “Sweetheart, my love is in the two pieces of steak.”
Xia Ning is shocked. She feels shy in an instant. Seeing Yi Yunrui do it so carefully, she turns to leave: “I will wait for you in the living room. Don’t worry. Take your time.”
Twenty minutes later, Yi Yunrui walks out with two pieces of steak, which look nice and smell good.
The beef is fried in good color, and Yi Yunrui carefully cuts it into heart shapes. He also prepares a dish of salad and a bottle of red wine.
It looks like a candlelight dinner.
Xia Ning looks at the dishes and asks: “Do you think we should bring the candles and turn off the light?”
Yi Yunrui thinks carefully for a while: “I don’t think so. It is too dark outside. Lighting candles is dangerous in this dry and windy night. We’d better pay attention to the fire.”
Xia Ning slightly twitches her eyebrows. Does Yi Yunrui know what romantic is?
Well, anyway, there is tasty food to eat with a handsome man. What can she ask for?
Xia Ning takes up the knife and fork. She is reluctant to cut the steak.
The steak is thick and big. It looks tasty. Though she is very hungry, she can’t bear to cut the heart shape steak.
“Come on, have a taste.” She has not taken the first cut before Yi Yunrui cuts a small piece for her.
His action reminds Xia Ning of what Mei Ruo did to Yi Yunrui earlier in the evening. She is unhappy, but she doesn’t show it on her face.
She eats the beef from Yi Yunrui. Xia Ning blinks her eyes. She believes at once that Yi Yunrui has got the talent for being a chef!”
“Is it really the first time for you to make steak?” Xia Ning asks unbelievably.
Yi Yunrui nods: “The first time. How does it taste?”
Xia Ning nods. It is local beef, and it is sauced, but it is sauced by Yi Yunrui, which makes it completely different from the dipping-sauce style in normal restaurants.
Yi Yunrui’s sauced steak provides the taste of chef’s cooking.
A small piece of steak has aroused Xia Ning’s appetite. She cuts the steak and begins to eat.
Looking at Xia Ning, Yi Yunrui smiles: “Does it really taste so good?”
“Hum. It is delicious.” Xia Ning eats and nods to reply. As if she remembers something, she forks a small piece of steak and puts it to Yi Yunrui’s mouth: “As the wife of Commander Yi, I will give my first order to you.”
Yi Yunrui is shocked. Putting down the knife and fork, he seriously says: “I am waiting for orders.”
“In the future, no one is allowed to do this to you except me.” Saying this, Xia Ning shakes the steak in her hand.
“Yes, Madam.” Yi Yunrui replies and leans to bite the steak. He chews it and says: “Sweetheart, one piece is not enough.”
“Haha!” Not expecting Yi Yunrui can also be as naughty as a kid, Xia Ning forks another steak and puts it into his mouth.
They eat and play. Unconsciously, the salad, steak and wine are basically all finished by them.
Xia Ning takes the last sip of red wind. She is a little drunk: “It seems that…I have to take another bath…”
Yi Yunrui smiles mildly, staring at her meaningfully.
“Why do you stare at me…tell me…” Xia Ning gives a little hiccup. She feels a little dizzy. She stands up, saying: “No, I have to go to the bathroom to sob myself.”
Saying this, Xia Ning stands up and walks towards the bathroom. She has hardly taken any steps before she is lifted into the air.
“Wow!” Xia Ning cries in surprise. She is embraced by Yi Yunrui from behind. In an instant, they have got to the bed.
“Sweetheart, let’s go to the bathroom together later.” Yi Yunrui says in a low voice. He drank so his thick voice sounds hoarse, with the fatal attraction.
Xia Ning blushes: “Let’s go now…Hum!”
Xia Ning has not finished her words while she sees something flash in front of her and her lips are kissed. They mangle fiercely, as if the raging fire falls into the dry faggots and it bursts into flames…
The night is as soft as water. When winds blow gently, the water ripples…
It is said that beef can be an aphrodisiac. Xia Ning learns it well herself this time.
If not waken by Yi Yunrui’s calls, she will really be late for work.
She drives her car and rushes to her company. With the file bags in her hand, she gets to her office at nine o’clock, right on time.
Xia Ning gasps and sits down when her assistant knocks at the door and puts a cup of coffee on the desk for her.
“Thank you.” She smiles and nods. She passes the files to her assistant: “These are the stars we are going to interview recently. Please arrange the schedule.”
“OK. Director.” The assistant responds and turns to leave.
Xia Ning takes a sip of coffee and then she finds that she hasn’t had any breakfast. She feels upset.
Among three meals in a day, breakfast is the most important. And now with a coffee, she may feel sick in her stomach.
She hesitates whether she should go out to have some breakfast and come back again. Suddenly, she sees that her bag is swollen. Xia Ning curiously opens the bag and finds sandwiches there!
As if she has seen the savior, Xia Ning at once takes out the sandwich and tucks in.
Eating the sandwich and drinking the coffee, Xia Ning feels warm. Seemingly, when Yi Yunrui went back to the Military Region, he had guessed that she would get up late today.
At the time, someone knocks at the door and walks in. Xia Ning lifts her head and sees Gu Luan.
Xia Ning is frozen in the biting at once. After quite a while, she strokes her head and smiles: “Excuse me. Director Gu, I got up a little late today…”
Gu Luan carries a file in his hand. He closes the door and asks in a low voice: “Do you have another sandwich?”
Xia Ning is shocked. She nods and passes the other sandwich to him.
Gu Luan takes it over and puts it into his pocket. He lifts his glasses, “Ugh, Director Xia, I received calls from some stars just now. They nominated you to interview them. Here is the material.” He passes the files to Xia Ning.
Xia Ning takes them over and glances at them. Wow, all are the current most famous stars. She has been considering how to get the chances to interview them.
“Director, why do they nominate me to do the exclusive interviews?” There must be some reasons. She is not so foolish to believe that it is because she is lucky.
Gu Luan thinks for a while: “As regards the reason, I am investigating it. However, since they are willing to be interviewed, we have to catch the chance and do the exclusive interviews well first.”
“OK.” Xia Ning nods, “Then, I will arrange them in recent days.”
“Thank you.” Gu Luan says and turns to leave. He only takes several steps before he stops, as if he remembers something. He says: “As regards the sandwich issue, please don’t tell anybody.”
Xia Ning blinks her eyes and nods immediately: “OK.”
Ah, it is really surprising that the director of World Era TV Station will naughtily take an excuse to come to her for food. Seemingly Director Gu also encountered some issues and forgot to have any breakfast.
Gu Luan has just left when Xia Ning’s phone rings. It tells on the screen: An Zeyou.
Xia Ning is shocked, wondering why the famous star calls her so early at nine o’clock.
Xia Ning presses the button. She is still unsure about it: “Good morning. Is that Mr. An?”
“Mrs. Yi, didn’t I tell you to call me Zeyou? Well, call me Zeyou, please.”
The word “Mrs. Yi” shocks Xia Ning as a thunder. She can’t collect herself for quite a while.
She remembers that An Zeyou called Yi Yunrui “Brother Rui”. Then she is naturally known to him as “Mrs. Yi”.
“Oh. Hello, Zeyou. What are you calling for?”
“Well…” An Zeyou yawns, “Are you free this evening?”
Xia Ning is confused, “Why?”
“I made an appointment with you for the exclusive interview this evening. But my schedule is full. However, there is a celebration party in a bar in the evening and I will have some time then. If Mrs. Yi doesn’t mind, you can come to our celebration party and finish the exclusive interview by the way.”
Xia Ning feels confused. To do the exclusive interview in a bar? What is that?
“Mrs. Yi, don’t hesitate. You can simply bring Brother Rui with you. We can have fun. OK. It is settled. See you at nine o’clock in TP Bar. I will pick you up when you arrive. Bye.”
Not waiting for Xia Ning to respond, An Zeyou hangs up first. Xia Ning is shocked. Seemingly she hasn’t given any response to him!
Nine in the evening, in TP Bar.
Helplessly, Xia Ning puts this into her agenda. She calls Yi Yunrui.
Soon she gets through. Yi Yunrui speaks first: “Sweetheart, have you had your breakfast?”
“Hum. I have. Thank you for the two sandwiches.” Xia Ning smiles.
“Last night…” Yi Yunrui makes a light cough, “Last night I was so…Sorry. Are you tired? Do you need to ask for a leave to rest at home?”
It reminds her of the previous crazy night. Xia Ning blushes: “No. No need. Well…I am calling to tell you something. I made an appointment with An Zeyou for an exclusive interview this evening. He said that there would be a celebration party. He invited both of us to attend it, so that I could finish the interview by the way. Darling, are you going with me?”
