Yi Yunrui is very busy and every calling is precious. Xia Ning has to apologize to Li Baoer, “Baoer, will you excuse me? Rui is calling. I may hang up now.”

“OK. OK. The commander is busy. You may answer his calling first. Don’t worry about me.” Li Baoer says and hangs up at once.

Xia Ning smiles, and gets through to Yi Yunrui, “Hello, Mr. Commander. Didn’t you say that you would have a meeting in the afternoon?”

“It is over now. I will be at home in twenty minutes.”

It can tell that Yi Yunrui is walking when he speaks. Xia Ning glances at the clock, it is half past four.

“You are free so early? You said it would be a busy day.”

“Everything is settled. So, I come back earlier. Ning, get prepared. We will go to Mei Ruo’s house together.”

“Hum. OK.” Xia Ning responds and hangs up.

She opens the wardrobe. There are not many clothes inside and two-thirds of them are gifts from Yi Yunrui. Xia Ning ponders what she is going to wear. After a while, she takes a set of blue sportwear from the hanger.

Mei Ruo is a real beauty. Whatever she wears, she won’t look prettier than Mei Ruo. So, why not just be casual to wear simple and comfortable clothes? In addition, they are going to have dinner at Mei Ruo’s house and she may help to do the clean up after that. Sportwear is more convenient.

The sportwear is a gift from Yi Yunrui.

Twenty minutes later, Xia Ning’s phone rings.

“I am downstairs. You may come down.”

“Hum.”

Xia Ning fixes her clothes and hairs in front of the dressing mirror and goes downstairs.

Yi Yunrui’s black monster car is parked at the gate of the compound. When Xia Ning shows up, Feng Le salutes from far, “Mrs. Yi!”

Xia Ning smiles and nods. The door of the car is opened and Yi Yunrui holds her to get her to sit in the car.

“Your dressing up like this is very beautiful.” Yi Yunrui strokes the hairs on her forehead. He holds her hands, “But do you feel cold in it?”

Xia Ning shakes her head, “No, I am not cold. I wear something inside.”

Yi Yunrui nods and holds her to his embrace. Xia Ning blushes. She wants to get away but Yi Yunrui hugs her more tightly. Helplessly, she has to accept it and lean on his strong chest.

Feng Le starts the car. Knight XV goes fast but stably.

“Do you miss me today?”

Xia Ning blinks her eyes. From when does the Commander become so sentimental?

“Hum?” Seeing that she doesn’t respond, Yi Yunrui holds out his long fingers to lift her jaw, “Tell me the truth. Do you miss me?”

Xia Ning blushes, “Le is here…”

Yi Yunrui’s hand gets tightened and pinches her jaw. His eyes turn very serious, “Comrade Xia Ning, please answer your husband’s question.”

Xia Ning feels embarrassed and lowers her head. She leans on his chest and nods.

Yi Yunrui is satisfied with the answer. He touches her black hairs with his handsome face and smells the fragrance of them. Yi Yunrui closes his eyes comfortably.

Mei Ruo lives in a high-grade residence community. It is not very far from the Military Compound and takes only ten minutes by car.

The car stops at the parking lot. Xia Ning is carried off the car by Yi Yunrui on the waist. And he still holds her after that. Her face becomes red, and keeps red.

He puts his big hand around her waist, gently, but locks her so tightly that she cannot get away from him.

The residence community is well-equipped. The environment is designed like a royal garden with enchanting scenes everywhere.

Held by Yi Yunrui to walk for a while, Xia Ning sees from far that Mei Ruo is standing in front of a separate villa. It seems that she has been waiting for them for a while.

Feeling that they are showing off their love, Xia Ning takes Yi Yunrui’s hand, which is put on her waist, and wants to get it away, but fails.

The two walks on. Xia Ning looks at Mei Ruo’s smile. She is a little shy.

Mei Ruo also wears a set of sport suit. It is simple in style and extremely white. Even in such simple clothes, she looks glossy like a pearl and smooth like jade. She is too elegant and holy to be stared at. Even a glance seems to be offensive to her.

In front of such a beauty, Xia Ning slightly feels sorry for herself.

Two questions suddenly pop up. Mei Ruo is the previous political commissar of Yi Yunrui and they seem to get on well. Why did they part?

Why Mei Ruo comes back again?

When they are getting to Mei Ruo, Yi Yunrui takes back his hand from Xia Ning’s waist, but he holds her hand tightly. He says, “Sorry to make you wait for us so long.”

Mei Ruo smiles happily and shakes her head, “Not very long. We haven’t met and had dinner together for a long time. I am very glad.”

Saying this, she turns to Xia Ning with a bigger smile, “Miss Xia looks pretty in the sportwear. It is fresh and beautiful. Not to mention the Commander, I like you very much.”

“Commissar Mei is flattering me.”

Mei Ruo reaches and takes Xia Ning’s hand, “Come in. It is cold outside. Let’s go into the house. Commander, though Miss Xia is your precious, you don’t need to hold her so tightly. Please try to understand the feeling of a single woman. Do you think so? Miss Xia?”

Xia Ning nods and tries to pull her hand back but Yi Yunrui doesn’t let go. She tries again for several times and Yi Yunrui lets her go at last. He laughs loudly.

Xia Ning is aware that he is teasing her…

Mei Ruo tightens her hand and pulls Xia Ning into the house, “Come here. Don’t stand outside. I made the dumplings once I arrived home. Now, I have finished quite a lot. But I am not sure if they are enough. I may need Miss Xia to give me a hand later.”

“Hum. No problem. But I am not good at making dumplings. I hope you don’t mind my poor making.”

They talk and come into the villa. It is decorated very carefully. It seems that the furniture and every piece of the accessory are chosen specially. The whole place is tidy with no dust to see. Seemingly Mei Ruo has a very high requirement on her life quality.

After they come into the house, Mei Ruo prepares a pot of tea for Xia Ning and Yi Yunrui and the whole house is filled with fresh and rich flavor of the tea.

“This is Tieguanyin from Longquanyan. My father just sent it to me. It is good. You may try it.” Mei Ruo says and looks at Yi Yunrui unconsciously.

Xia Ning lowers her eyes and takes a sip of the tea.

Tieguanyin from Longquanyan is the most famous. It is also the most expensive, and the output is not much. Reservation is needed for tasting it. Normal people may not have the opportunity to drink this high-grade tea all their life.

Mei Ruo said that the tea is from her father. No doubt what a superior family background she has.

Yi Yunrui takes a sip and puts it down, “The Deputy Chief of General Staff is busy with state affairs. I haven’t seen him for years. Would Commissar Mei send my greetings to him?”

Mei Ruo nods, “I will. My father also often mentions you, saying It’s been a while since…” Saying this, Mei Ruo suddenly stops and she looks sad.
