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

Lu Weihua didn't say a word, walked straight into the room, buried his head in the bed, and lay there motionless like a corpse.

She walked over and gently nudged Lu Weihua's leg, which was dangling over the edge of the bed. "What's wrong with you?"

Lu Weihua buried his face in the pillow, his voice muffled:

"I want to change careers..."

"Haha, what do you want to do if you want to change careers? Sell clothes with me?" Ye Wenxi laughed and reached out to flip Lu Weihua.

Lu Weihua was turned over by Ye Wenxi like a corpse, lying on his back, motionless, his eyes staring straight at the ceiling.

Ye Wenxi lay down on her side next to her, propping her head up with one hand and looking at her.

"Your dark circles..."

"Hmm." Lu Weihua responded mechanically, "Didn't expect that, did you? I just got off work after working all night."

"Wait a minute?" Ye Wenxi frowned. "Weren't you filming a movie with me yesterday? Why are you at work again?"

"Yesterday afternoon around six o'clock, right after we finished eating, Zhou Xuchen called and dragged us over again." Lu Weihua's lips curled into a smile, almost manic, "Haha...how wonderful..."

"What are you doing?"

Lu Weihua turned to look at Ye Wenxi and said in a professional yet manic tone, "Continuous testing of the entire machine. Once the machine is on, it can't be stopped; someone has to be there to monitor the data the whole time. If there's a problem or an error, we restart, restart, redo it, restart again... Hahaha, it was restarted seventeen times in a row."

Lu Weihua burst into laughter, his laughter tinged with despair, "Seventeen times! Hahaha!"

Ye Wenxi: "..."

"So you didn't sleep at all?" Ye Wenxi asked.

"I didn't sleep at all." Lu Weihua closed his eyes. "I could die of exhaustion at any moment. I dozed off for a bit on the table, but it wasn't enough, I'm so tired... Oh no, I can't take it anymore, I need to sleep, quick, quick..."

"Why don't you eat something before you sleep? I specially brought braised fish with cabbage today, it's so delicious. Let me tell you how to make the fish..." Ye Wenxi gave her another round of recommendations.

Lu Weihua blinked and struggled to sit up: "Then I'll eat something first."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Mom?" Lu Weidong's voice came in.

"Hey, I'm here," Liu Xiuyun said quickly as she went to open the door.

Ye Wenxi stood up abruptly, rushed to Lu Weihua's room, slammed the door shut, and then sat back down on the bed, puffing out her cheeks.

Lu Weihua immediately perked up.

She stared wide-eyed at Ye Wenxi's series of actions.

"What's going on?" Lu Weihua turned to look at her.

Ye Wenxi snorted.

Lu Weihua's mind raced for a couple of seconds before he suddenly remembered what happened on set yesterday.

She chuckled, "Second sister-in-law, because my second brother is jealous...did you two have a fight?"

"We didn't argue..."

"You didn't argue?... He's giving you the silent treatment? That's impossible..." Lu Weihua pondered.

Just then, Lu Weidong walked in.

His voice rang out from the living room: "Where's Wenxi?"

Liu Xiuyun placed the dishes on the table and turned around, saying, "Eh? They were just here... Oh, they might be in Wei Hua's room."

Lu Weidong walked to Lu Weihua's door and knocked: "Wenxi? Weihua?"

Ye Wenxi nudged Lu Weihua's arm.

Lu Weihua lowered his voice: "Hey, you can't hide forever. You think you can stay in bed all the time? Aren't you going to come out to eat?"

Ye Wenxi thought about it and agreed. She stood up, took a deep breath, and decided to adjust her expression. She would give him face here tonight and settle the score later.

She opened the door, turned to Lu Weihua, and said, "Wash your hands, the food is all prepared. Eat and get some rest."

She walked past Lu Weidong and went straight into the bathroom without glancing at him once.

Lu Weidong turned to look at Lu Weihua. Lu Weihua pointed at him and mouthed, word by word, "You're... useless." Lu Weidong was stunned for a moment, then awkwardly rubbed his nose, quickly walked into the bathroom, and closed the door behind him.

Ye Wenxi washed her hands and ignored him.

Suddenly, she felt a pair of large hands on her waist, gently kneading it. Her body stiffened for a moment. After kneading her waist, the hands moved up to her shoulders, with a gentle touch.

Ye Wenxi shrugged: "Get out of here."

Lu Weidong closed his eyes and smacked his lips: "I was wrong, wife, I was wrong."

"I just saw you seemed to be enjoying it... Can I tone it down next time?"

Ye Wenxi's face flushed instantly, and she reached out and pinched his arm.

Lu Weidong hissed as she pinched a crescent moon out of his arm.

Still not satisfied, she turned around and elbowed Lu Weidong right in the chest.

Lu Weidong groaned and hugged her even tighter.

Ye Wenxi struggled to glare at him: "I...I...when did I start enjoying it?"

She spoke these words without much confidence, and her face grew increasingly red.

Lu Weidong lowered his head and clung to Ye Wenxi, refusing to let go: "It's me, it's me, it's all my fault."

"What are you two doing? Standing there with your butts sticking out?" Lu Zhenghua's voice came from outside the door.

Lu Xiaojun and Lu Weihua were startled and quickly stood up straight.

Ye Wenxi pushed Lu Weidong away forcefully, touched her flushed face, wiped her hands, opened the door and walked out.

Lu Weidong followed behind, the tips of his ears slightly red.

Everyone could see that there was something subtle going on between the two of them.

"Come, come, sit down, everyone. Let's eat!" Lu Zhenghua urged everyone on.

Ye Wenxi picked up a few pieces of fish and gave them to Lu Zhenghua and Liu Xiuyun: "Dad, Mom, try this crispy fish. I guarantee you'll never forget it after just one bite."

She placed fish and cabbage on her plate for Lu Zhenhua and Liu Xiuyun respectively. Lu Zhenhua took a bite, his eyes lighting up: "Wow, this fish has no bones! It melts in your mouth!"

"Is it delicious?" Ye Wenxi smiled.

"It's delicious... Don't bother them next time..."

"It's okay, Aunt Lang loves to cook for me separately, she's very happy."

Lu Weidong held the bowl and also put a piece of fish on Ye Wenxi's plate.

Ye Wenxi didn't respond, and continued talking to Lu Zhenhua: "Dad, please eat more, this fish has been stewing all day."

Lu Xiaojun and Lu Weihua watched the two men the whole time, their eyes darting back and forth between Ye Wenxi and Lu Weidong, as if watching a silent movie.

Lu Weidong coughed: "Honey, could you hand me that water glass? My throat's a little dry."

Ye Wenxi, unable to bear it any longer, picked up a glass of cold water, poured him a glass of water, and placed it beside him.

Lu Weidong took a sip, then put down his cup. "Um... Wenxi, could you get me some of that dish over there... you know, the one over there..."

Ye Wenxi resisted the urge to roll her eyes, reached out and picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks, placing it in his bowl.

"Okay," Lu Weidong said, shoveling rice into his mouth with a slight smile. "Could you get me another one..."

boom!

Lu Zhenghua slammed his hand on the table: "Don't you have hands?!"

Ye Wenxi burst out laughing.

Lu Zhenghua and Liu Xiuyun could tell that their son had upset his wife, and he was trying to coax her.

Liu Xiuyun quickly tried to smooth things over: "Oh, Weidong, do it yourself, don't always order others around. Wenxi, eat more, don't mind him."

Lu Zhenghua nodded, "Wenxi, this fish is delicious. You should eat some too, don't just focus on us."

Ye Wenxi smiled and responded, and the atmosphere relaxed.

She glanced at Lu Weidong, who was eating with his head down. The usually robust man looked like a child who had done something wrong.

Seeing him like this, Ye Wenxi couldn't help but tremble at the corners of her mouth.

She picked up her chopsticks and, in the end, placed the dish of food on his plate: "Eat it!"
