Chapter 41: Indifference

Xia Ning is surprised. What brings Yin Jingyao here?

How does she know this place?

Xia Ning looks at Yi Yunrui and says, “I will open the door.”

Yi Yunrui stops her, “Go on with the dinner.”

Yi Yunrui stands up and walks to the door. He opens the door and looks at Yin Jingyao, who dresses up beautifully.

The clothes she wears are eye-catching, but in Yi Yunrui’s eyes, it is blinding.

Every time Yin Jingyao shows up in front of him, he gets the feeling that she overdresses herself.

“Rui.” Yin Jingyao sees Yi Yunrui and her heart beats quickly. She is excited, yet jealous as well.

He is different from the way he usually is. Though he wears the army uniform as always, there seems to be something more in him.

He often keeps a straight face and even the air surrounds him seems to be cold. People feel reluctant about getting near him. Today, there is a touch of gentleness and tenderness in him, which is attractive.

“What do you want?” Yi Yunrui asks, and his handsome face wears no emotions.

Yin Jingyao feels her heart sinks. She curls her lips, “Rui. Do you want me to stand outside and speak to you?”

“I am having dinner with Ning. It is not convenient. If you want to say anything, please say it here.”

Being kept away, Yin Jingyao is sad, “I have something to say, but not to you. I want to talk with Xia Ning.”

“There is nothing to talk about.” Yi Yunrui refuses directly, “She is my wife. That is it.”

Saying this, Yi Yunrui turns back and heads inside. Unexpectedly, Yin Jingyao cries, “Xia Ning. I want to have a talk with you. May I come in?”

Xia Ning hears Yin Jingyao call her name. She is too polite to say no, though she really doesn’t want to meet her.

“Let her in.” Knowing that Yin Jingyao will not give up, Xia Ning says to Yi Yunrui who now wears a long face.

Yi Yunrui stares at Yin Jingyao for a while and then goes back to the room.

The stare is cold to her bone. Yin Jingyao can’t help shivering. She unconsciously lifts her pink coat upward.

Yin Jingyao enters the room. What she sees first is the table in the living room. There are three dishes and a bowl of soup on it. Yi Yunrui goes to sit by Xia Ning. It seems they were having dinner.

Yin Jingyao feels painful as if her heart is stabbed by a knife. She blinks her charming eyes and jealousy grows in her heart madly.

She has known Yi Yunrui for eight years. Not to mention to have dinner with Yi Yunrui, it is extremely rare for her to sit by his side.

He is always cold and seldom talks with women. In the past, she would be very satisfied when he talked with her even for a little while. At least, she would feel that she was different from other women. But now… the man she has loved secretly for eight years is sitting with another woman and giving all his love to that woman. She is so mad that she thinks she may kill someone.

Yin Jingyao takes a deep breath and swallows the urge of shooting Xia Ning. She steps forward and sits by Yi Yunrui.

Yi Yunrui frowns on her move!

“Miss Yin, excuse me for a second. I will go get you a cup of tea.” Xia Ning says and gets up.

“Did you cook all these?” Yin Jingyao has a look at the dishes on the table. They look good, at least better than those in the army canteen. No wonder Yi Yunrui is willing to eat here.

Xia Ning is embarrassed, “No, I did not. Rui did.”

Hearing this, Yin Jingyao widens her eyes immediately. She looks at Yi Yunrui unbelievably.

What? Rui did? Did she hear that right?

How come she doesn’t know that Rui can cook?

“If you don’t mind, would you bring me a pair of chopsticks? I happen to have no dinner yet.”

“OK.” Xia Ning responds and fetches a pair of clean chopsticks soon
