A whirlwind marriage with a high-ranking official: Lights out, don't force me to take the initi

"Oh? What brings you here?" Ye Wenxi's throat was a little dry. "Aren't you busy this afternoon?"

She looked at Lu Weidong and chuckled, a laugh that seemed utterly guilty.

If she had told Lu Weidong earlier that she wanted to appear on screen, or even explained her role for today to him, Lu Weidong would definitely not have had any objections.

The problem is that she didn't mention it. When the film crew came to the military region, she said that she was "not interested" in this matter. As a result, she secretly acted with someone else today.

Ye Wenxi cursed inwardly: It's over, I'm probably going to be crippled tonight.

"Are you busy? Are you done filming?" Lu Weidong asked casually, his gaze sweeping over Lu Weihua, Lu Xiaojun, and everyone else present.

His expression was extremely natural, even with a polite smile.

But Lu Xiaojun and Lu Weihua both felt a tightness in their backs at the same time. They turned around abruptly to look at Ye Wenxi, with only one thought in their minds: Take care.

Qin Tianyu was initially a little nervous, but seeing Lu Weidong's natural demeanor, he stepped forward and politely greeted him, "Hello, Chief of Staff Lu!"

"Mm." Lu Weidong nodded.

"Comrade Ye, then I'll take my leave. Goodbye." Qin Tianyu said and left.

Lu Weidong glanced at his watch, then walked up to Ye Wenxi: "Off work? Want to eat at home? Or eat out?"

"I...I'm fine with anything." Ye Wenxi looked at him, and Lu Weidong's expression remained normal, showing no sign of anything unusual.

"Okay, let's go eat first. Xiao Jun and Wei Hua, are you two going home or eating with us?" Lu Weidong asked Lu Xiao Jun and Wei Hua.

"Let's go home and eat!" Lu Weihua's alertness told her that she should choose B.

"Wenxi!" Ye Wenxi turned around.

Song Xiaotang walked over quickly with a camera in her hand, and there was another person standing next to her.

Ye Wenxi recognized him; wasn't this the male lead of the movie?

As Song Xiaotang walked, she waved the camera in her hand at Ye Wenxi and said, "I brought the camera here specifically."

"Jiang Tao, this is Comrade Ye Wenxi, the person in charge of our clothing sponsor, Wenxi Garment Company."

"Let me tell you, I owe this to you, Comrade Ye..."

Song Xiaotang suddenly slammed on the brakes, swallowing the rest of her sentence, and almost bit her tongue.

Ye Wenxi kept winking at Song Xiaotang.

She then glanced at Lu Weidong standing behind her...

The air was still for a few seconds.

"Ah...look, I specially brought the camera." Song Xiaotang's mind raced, and she instantly flashed a bright smile. "I just wanted to take a picture with Chief of Staff Lu, is that alright, Wenxi?"

"Because I truly admire what you told me about Chief of Staff Lu's deeds. To me, Chief of Staff Lu is a modern-day hero! Wenxi, you don't mind, do you?"

Ye Wenxi was taken aback: Song Xiaotang! You're such a clever one!

She quickly took over the conversation, smiling as she stood next to Lu Weidong and pushed him towards Song Xiaotang:

"Wei Dong, look, Producer Song specially brought his camera to take a picture with you. Why don't you cooperate?"

"Xiaotang, I don't mind this kind of thing. What's wrong with a normal photo of a man and a woman taking pictures together? Who would get angry over something like this!"

"Hahahaha—"

Lu Weidong looked down at the hand pushing him, then at Ye Wenxi's fake smile, and his lips twitched slightly.

"Okay," he said, his voice flat.

Ye Wenxi quickly raised his camera and pointed it at the two of them: "Come on, look at the camera—three, two, one!"

A snap.

After taking the photos, Song Xiaotang put away her camera, smiled at Lu Weidong, and said, "Thank you, Chief of Staff Lu! Wenxi, I'll be going now!"

"Let's go, Jiang Tao." With that, Song Xiaotang pulled Jiang Tao out.

"Huh? Didn't you say..."

"Let's go, let's go!"

The male protagonist, who was dragged to take a photo, was completely bewildered as Song Xiaotang pulled him away.

"Wei Dong, let's go eat." Ye Wenxi looked up and smiled sweetly at Lu Wei Dong.

Ye Wenxi and Lu Weidong finished their dinner in the cafeteria and walked home side by side.

Throughout the entire process, Lu Weidong's movements were extremely natural, no different from usual.

Ye Wenxi thought to herself: "Wow, so generous now? Different from before?"

Once inside, she took off her shoes, placed her keys and bag on the cabinet, turned around, and went into the bathroom to turn on the tap.

The water was splashing loudly. She fanned herself with her hand, muttered "It's so hot," and went to the kitchen. She took a bottle of ice-cold soda from the refrigerator and gulped down most of it.

As Ye Wenxi held the bottle, she felt a powerful pressure descending from behind.

She slowly took the bottle down and turned around.

Lu Weidong braced his arms against the refrigerator door, trapping her inside.

He lowered his head, the corners of his mouth turned up, and the smile gradually widened, like a cat staring at a sparrow that had just entered its net.

"A photo opportunity with the male lead, in exchange for that?" He spoke slowly and softly, "And...were we even playing a sweet married couple?"

Ye Wenxi's back was pressed against the refrigerator, and the plastic door handle was digging into her waist.

She looked up at him and chuckled dryly twice: "If I said no... would you believe me? There's a misunderstanding here."

Lu Weidong's smile widened, revealing a set of white teeth.

"No, that's not it!" Ye Wenxi exclaimed anxiously. "Oh dear, Xiaotang asked me to fill in for her at the last minute today, and I couldn't very well ask for payment. It was just a joke from Song Xiaotang, and I agreed! It's not because of that—oh, stop laughing, I'm scared!"

She shrank back as she spoke, her laughter and pleas for mercy mingling together.

Lu Weidong suddenly pulled his arms back, bent down, and picked her up in his arms.

"Ah—!" Ye Wenxi exclaimed in surprise. "Hey, stop fooling around, Weidong!"

Ye Wenxi wrapped her arms around his neck, struggling to jump down, but Lu Weidong's arms held her still.

With a "thud," she was placed on the bed.

Lu Weidong knelt on one knee by the bed, his hands supporting him on either side of her, completely enveloping her in his shadow.

"Ugh, that's kind of scary."

"So afraid of me?" he asked, his voice descending from above, trembling with the sound of his chest. "Afraid of what?"

Ye Wenxi bit her lip, looking seemingly aggrieved, but her words were laced with a hook. "I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of bed tonight..."

Lu Weidong smiled, the corners of his mouth gradually turning upwards, like a knife being drawn from its sheath, revealing itself inch by inch.

He lowered his head and pressed his lips to hers, first lightly touching them, then pressing harder.

His hand slid up her waist, kneading and caressing her through the fabric of her shirt...

Ye Wenxi leaned back as he kissed her, her fingers gripping the sheets tightly, the fabric twisting into a ball in her palm.

She parted her lips in a daze, and he followed her without giving her a chance.

The sounds of panting mingled together, making it impossible to tell whose breath it was.

Lu Weidong stepped back half an inch, his forehead pressed against hers, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's right that you're afraid."

He braced himself with one hand beside her, and used the other to unbutton his shirt. He had unbuttoned two buttons when Ye Wenxi stopped him.

"I haven't taken a shower yet."

"Heh... Looks like you're going to request a change of venue? Aren't you afraid to step out of the bathroom?" Lu Weidong looked down at her, a smile playing on his lips.

"Ugh...don't scare me." Ye Wenxi's voice softened.

The next second, Lu Weidong picked her up and slapped her butt with his big hand.

"Ah!" Ye Wenxi exclaimed.

"You'll find out in two hours whether I'm just trying to scare you or not." He carried her toward the bathroom.

"Ah—Lu Weidong! You petty jerk! You jealous bastard! You..."

The rest of the conversation was cut off by the bathroom door.
