Chapter 285 - The Threat with Death
Yi Yuntian’s eyes gleam. He puts on a bigger smile, “Someone wants to make it big. I really want to see what he will do.”
Yi Yunyi frowns to hear his words. He wants to ask some questions, but he stops.
The eldest brother doesn’t speak clearly. He must have his reasons.
Yi Yuntian yawns, “It is a busy day. I may go home to sleep!” He turns to Leng Weiwei, “Beauty, do you like to go with me?”
Leng Weiwei stares at him angrily, “Get out!”
Yi Yuntian slightly lifts his lips. He suddenly holds out his hand and draws Leng Weiwei, “Let’s get out together.”
Leng Weiwei has not responded when Yi Yuntian has forcefully drawn her away.
Xia Ning glances at the time. It is past ten. She turns to Yi Yunyi, “Brother, Colonel Dai, you may go home, too. It is late. Don’t worry about me.”
Yi Yunyi thinks for a while. He glances at Gu Ruoruo, “OK. I may go with Ruoruo.”
“Sister Xia, I will request for a leave for you. You may take care of Commander Yi.” Gu Ruoruo says considerately.
Xia Ning nods, “Thank you.”
“Ning.” Li Baoer holds out her hand to pat on Xia Ning’s shoulder, “I will stay with you. We can take a shift at night...”
“There is no need.” Xia Ning shakes her head, “I can manage it myself. Baoer, don’t worry.”
Li Baoer looks worried. She looks at Xia Ning’s decisive eyes and gives a sigh, “Well. You may take care of yourself, too. Call me if you need anything.”
Xia Ning nods. Other people leave one after one.
When they leave the hospital, Yi Yunyi and Colonel Dai encounter Yi Yuntian and Leng Weiwei. Leng Weiwei looks furious as if she has the desire to tear Yi Yuntian into pieces.
“Oh, do you couple quarrel?” Yi Yunyi teases.
Leng Weiwei sees them. She hesitates and turns her face around. She wants to leave but is caught by Yi Yuntian. He is so forceful that she can’t get away from him.
“Quarreling and fighting are ways of love. It is normal to have a quarrel.” Yi Yuntian smiles to respond, “I like this kind of wild kitten.”
“Yi Yuntian!” Leng Weiwei finally loses her patience. She shouts loudly.
“Hahaha!” Yi Yuntian laughs. He gives more force and holds Leng Weiwei into his embrace. He whispers by her ear, “Try again, you will feel regretful.”
Leng Weiwei trembles.
Yi Yunyi strokes his head. He walks to Yi Yuntian, “Brother, as I know, Miss Leng is Feng’s girlfriend. Is it good for you to do so?”
“Oh...” Yi Yuntian meaningfully responds, “Before Weiwei gets married, all men can fairly fight for her. The point is whom Weiwei likes.”
Yi Yunyi twitches his lips. When his eldest brother interferes, what fairness can be expected?
He is simply grabbing the lover...
“Yi.” Yi Yuntian turns a little serious, “Rui is injured. I have blocked the news. Don’t mention that to Dad or Mom.”
Yi Yunyi thinks for a while. He nods, “I see.”
“Well.” Yi Yuntian points at Dai Zhongheng, “Zhongheng, you, too. Don’t tell anyone about this event.”
“Brother, I know. Don’t worry.” As to the arrangement of Yi Yuntian, Dai Zhongheng vaguely understands. He knows that there are some conflicts between the hostess of Yi Family and Xia Ning.
If Zheng Yao knows, she will create some noise.
Xia Ning holds Yi Yunrui’s hand tightly and strokes his hand with her face. She feels her heart messily aching.
She is clear about what the doctor means. Yi Yunrui is seriously injured.
Fool. He is really a fool. He was injured so seriously, but he still protected her with his life.
She even didn’t see any painful expressions on Yi Yunrui’s face.
He was always smiling. He smiled to tell her that he was fine.
Xia Ning feels her heart aching. She takes a deep breath and tears blur her eyes.
She struggled not to tear just now. She is alone now. She can’t stop it any longer.
The tears fall down onto the sheet and spread like flowers open. Xia Ning closes her eyes. Her shoulders tremble.
If not because of her, Rui wouldn’t get hurt.
If she could be a little stronger, Rui wouldn’t be injured.
At least, she could protect him. At least, she wouldn’t be his burden.
“Don’t cry...”
Suddenly, Xia Ning hears a weak voice. She is shocked!
Yi Yunrui is awake!
Xia Ning lifts her head at once and sees Yi Yunrui looking at her. Because he is injured, his eyes look a little weak. He looks very worriedly at her.
“Rui!” Xia Ning is glad. She strokes his face, “You are awake. I go to get the doctor...”
“No...” Yi Yunrui shakes his head, “Wait...for a moment.”
Xia Ning feels her heart painful, “Let’s ask the doctor to check. OK?”
Yi Yunrui softens his eyes. He slightly lifts his lips and puts on a weak smile, “I don’t want...to have someone else here...”
Xia Ning feels warm. She sits down. Her face is wet with tears. She wipes her face at once.
“Rui, do you feel hungry?”
Yi Yunrui shakes his head, “No. Ning, help me raise the bed a little. I want to have a careful look at you.”
Xia Ning blushes. She nods and raises the bed a little.
Yi Yunrui holds her hand and gives a sigh of relief, “You are not injured?”
Xia Ning shakes her head. She feels that her tears going down again.
“Don’t cry.” Yi Yunrui slightly frowns. Her tears make him feel heartbroken.
Xia Ning takes a deep breath, “Hum. I don’t cry.”
She doesn’t want to cry, either. She has to try.
Yi Yunrui looks at Xia Ning for quite a while. He says slowly, “Ning, recently, do you have anything in your mind?”
Xia Ning feels confused. She asks, “Anything in my mind?”
“Hum.” Yi Yunrui gives more force to hold Xia Ning, “You have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding me. You may not admit it. However, I can feel it.”
Xia Ning curls her lips. She lowers her head a bit.
“Ning, look at me.” Yi Yunrui slightly lifts his hand to turn her face back, “Show some mercy on me as a patient. Tell me the reasons. OK?”
Xia Ning feels her heart aching. She grits her teeth, “Rui, you make a mistake. There is nothing like that...”
“There is!” Yi Yunrui says undeniably, “Ning, I am your husband. I will be with you all my life. If you are not happy with anything, you may tell me. OK?”
Xia Ning remembers the words Zheng Yao said when they were in Mr. Dai’s house. She feels sad.
Zheng Yao is Yi Yunrui’s mother and her mother-in-law. It is natural for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to have some conflicts. However, she just can’t get it over.
“Ning, is that about my mother?”
Not waiting for Xia Ning to speak, Yi Yunrui asks directly.
“No. Rui, don’t take it wrong. There is nothing like that.” Xia Ning instinctively responds.
“Ning...Ah...” Yi Yunrui wants to continue, but he suddenly closes his eyes and clenches his fists. He frowns.
Xia Ning is shocked, “Rui, how do you feel? I go to get the doctor!”
Xia Ning holds out her hand for the emergency button. But she is stopped by Yi Yunrui.
“If you...don’t tell me now, I refuse to see the doctor.” Yi Yunrui turns pale, but he says decisively.
The words “refuse to see the doctor” are just like slaps hitting in Xia Ning’s heart. She is clear about Yi Yunrui’s personality. When he decides something, he is more stubborn than Xia Ning.
Yi Yunrui slightly gasps, but he keeps staring at Xia Ning as if he is investigating her. Xia Ning hesitates for quite a while. She finally gives a sigh.
“Rui, there is nothing serious. Do you have to force me to tell?” If she tells the truth, it is imaginable that he will feel her mean.
Zheng Yao is a senior to them. It is traditional for people to respect the seniors. Zheng Yao is Yi Yunrui’s mother. Ah...”
“Yes! I will give you ten seconds. If you don’t tell me,” Yi Yunrui holds her closer, “I may die in front of you.”
Not expecting that Yi Yunrui will say so, Xia Ning is shocked blankly.
“One, two, three... seven, eight, nine, ten!” When it comes to ten, Yi Yunrui holds out his hand and is going to draw the tubes away.
“No. No. I say. I tell you.” Xia Ning is shocked that Yi Yunrui will threaten her with death. She can’t but stop him, “I will tell you honestly. Don’t be excited. Don’t hurt your wound!”
Yi Yunrui takes a deep breath. He lies down, “You know it...Now, speak.”
Xia Ning is afraid that he may do something irrational. She presses his hand. She thinks for a while and says, “Rui, my mother-in-law doesn’t like me.”
Xia Ning pauses. She glances at Yi Yunrui stealthily.
She says so tentatively. If Yi Yunrui shows any disagreements, she will shut up.
Yi Yunrui waits for a little moment and his wife doesn’t continue. He asks in surprise, “I know it. Keep talking.”
Xia Ning feels released. Yi Yunrui agrees with that.
“I am not good enough for you in the aspects of identity or family background. In my mother-in-law’s opinion, I am the one to be blamed for what happened recently. She doesn’t think I am a qualified daughter-in-law. She told me the other day that if anything happened again, she would change a daughter-in-law.” Xia Ning feels her heart aching. Consciously, she draws back her hand.
“What?” Yi Yunrui freezes his eyes. He holds her with more force, “Change a daughter-in-law?”
“Ugh. I may mishear. Forget it.” Xia Ning finds Yi Yunrui get angry. She smiles and continues, “No. I misheard. She might not mean that.”
Yi Yunrui feels furious. How could his mother say so?
In other peoples’ opinions, it may be Ning causing the trouble. However, he is clear. If she hadn’t married him, she would have never had so many troubles.
All these are brought by him to her.
She got hurt and suffered all the pains. That is because she got married to him.
Change a daughter-in-law?
historical
What a joke!
Except Xia Ning, he wants no one else all his life!
“So, are you going to escape again?” Yi Yunrui asks in a deep voice.
Xia Ning feels her heart jump.
Yes. She has a plan like that. After all, Zheng Yao is Yi Yunrui’s mother. When the problem goes to an end, it is imaginable what will happen to her.
“Rui.” Xia Ning reluctantly puts on a smile, “My mother-in-law is your mother. In this world, you have only one mother...”
“Do you mean that I can have many wives?” Yi Yunrui interrupts. His eyes gleam dangerously.
