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

Will Xiaoxue not be able to come back?

Ye Wenxi sensed something was amiss.

"Oh, I see..." She kept her voice calm, trying not to let her worry show. "Could Xiaoxue call me back later?"

"Okay, I'll talk to her in a bit."

"it is good."

Ye Wenxi hung up the phone and stood still.

The rain was still falling outside the window, and raindrops pounded on the glass, running down in streaks.

She stared at the water stain for two seconds, then turned around, closed the phone book, and placed it on the table.

Lu Weidong came out from the inner room, holding a glass of water, and handed it to her: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Ye Wenxi took the cup. "Xiaoxue will be back in two days. She said there's something going on here."

Lu Weidong looked at her: "Something's wrong with your expression."

Ye Wenxi turned her head: "I'm not sure either. Let's wait for her to give me a reply later."

Lu Weidong did not ask any further questions.

He unbuttoned his shirt, one button at a time, and then draped the shirt over the back of the chair.

He took off his trousers, folded them into a square, and threw them on the sofa.

The room was lit only by a table lamp, the light shining from behind him, outlining the contours of his muscular body, bulging and strong, with a crease on his waist.

He was only wearing a pair of army green shorts when he walked up to Ye Wenxi and shrugged: "Let's go take a shower."

Ye Wenxi reached out and poked his abs with her fingertip, then withdrew her hand: "I'm waiting for a call, you go first."

"No rush, I'll wait with you." Lu Wei plopped down on the sofa, picked up the "Popular Cinema" magazine from the table, and started flipping through it rapidly.

Ye Wenxi smiled, sat down next to him, and leaned her head on his shoulder.

Ring ring—

Ye Wenxi suddenly sat up straight: "Pretty fast."

She lunged forward and grabbed the receiver: "Feed?"

"Sister-in-law! It's me!" Lu Weihua's voice burst from the phone, carrying a tired excitement.

"You're home from get off work?"

"Just came in."

"I'm exhausted. Mom's heating up my food. I can finally rest tomorrow!" Lu Weihua stretched and let out a long "Ouch—" sound on the other end of the phone.

Lu Weihua: "Um, are you busy tomorrow? Going to work?"

Ye Wenxi: "No, I don't go out, but I do handle some work-related matters. What's up? Something wrong?"

Lu Weihua: "The old folks were too embarrassed to ask you earlier..."

Lu Weihua had only uttered half a sentence when he heard a loud "smack!" followed by Lu Weihua's "Ouch!"

Liu Xiuyun yelled at him, "You brat, you finally dragged us out!"

"Oh, it's nothing. You two can just ask. What's there to be embarrassed about with my second sister-in-law?" Lu Weihua rubbed his arm, which had been slapped red.

"Go away, go away, you don't need to say anything, give me the phone!" Liu Xiuyun snatched the phone away.

Ye Wenxi held the receiver, looking completely bewildered.

"Feed? Moon Hee."

"Mom, what's wrong? Just tell me what's wrong."

"Well... um... your dad asked me to ask him something." Liu Xiuyun made a complete reversal.

Lu Zhenghua: "........"

"Are your garment factory employees going to work tomorrow? Is anyone working there?" Liu Xiuyun finally asked.

Ye Wenxi suddenly remembered that he hadn't taken them to visit the clothing store yet, even though they had been there for over a week.

The elderly couple probably thought it wouldn't be right for them to go there, since someone was working there, and they were afraid of disturbing that person, and also afraid of disturbing Wenxi.

I also know that Ye Wenxi has a habit of working on weekends, and she didn't get much rest last weekend.

"Oh dear, I forgot about that! There's no one here." She shouted into the microphone, "Mom, tell Dad I'll pick you up tomorrow morning!"

Liu Xiuyun sounded a little embarrassed on the other end of the phone: "Are you really okay? We're not in a hurry. We'll be staying for another month or so. We'll just take a look when we have time."

"It's really nothing! The staff is off tomorrow, and I don't have anything urgent to do. I'll show you around properly and introduce everything to you from beginning to end."

"Okay, sure!" Liu Xiuyun's voice brightened immediately. "Then come over for breakfast tomorrow morning, and we'll go over together afterward!"

"Okay, I'll come find you first thing tomorrow morning."

"Okay, it's settled then!"

Ye Wenxi slammed the receiver back onto the base and turned to look at Lu Weidong: "Take Mom and Dad to the clothing store tomorrow."

"Did they tell you?" Lu Weidong threw the magazine on the table.

"No, I had Wei Hua sound me out. They were both too embarrassed to ask me directly, so I had Wei Hua beat around the bush." ​​Ye Wenxi shook her head with a smile.

"Don't you know them? They never want to cause trouble for others. I guess they finally waited for last weekend," Lu Weidong said with a smile, looking at the magazine.

Ring ring—

The phone rang again.

"This time it should be Xiaoxue." Ye Wenxi grabbed the receiver and called out directly, "Xiaoxue?"

"Feed? Wenxi." Wang Yingxue's voice came through, even hoarser than before, "I...I just went to take a shower."

"Your throat still isn't better? Did you take any medicine?"

"I'm much better, don't worry." Wang Yingxue cleared her throat. "I have some things to take care of here. I don't usually come to Harbin, so I'm taking this opportunity to visit a few places. I'll let Aunt Huang go back first. I'll talk to you about work properly on Monday."

"Okay, no rush, let's talk about it when we meet on Monday. You go ahead with your work."

Ye Wenxi hung up the phone and had just put the receiver down when she felt as if a mountain was rushing towards her from the side—

The moment she hung up the phone, Lu Weidong scooped her up in his arms.

"Let's go! Time for a bath!"

"Ouch!" Ye Wenxi was caught off guard by his hug, grabbing his shoulders haphazardly. "I haven't taken my clothes off yet!"

"I'll help you take it off." Lu Weidong strode towards the bathroom, a wide smile on his face.

"Lu Weidong! Put me down!"

"I won't let go."

The bathroom door slammed shut.

*Click!*

A bolt of lightning struck, causing the glass to tremble slightly.

The rain outside was pouring down, pelting the window like hailstones with a loud pattering sound.

The bathroom was filled with steam.

Ye Wenxi was pinned against the wall by Lu Weidong, her legs draped over his waist. The cold tiles pressed against her back, making her shiver.

Lu Weidong supported her thigh with one hand, and slipped the other hand under the hem of her clothes, pressing his lips to her cheek and moving down to the crook of her neck.

"Oh dear... I haven't showered yet..." she said softly, her fingers gripping the back of his head.

"Wash and undress at the same time," Lu Weidong said vaguely, moving his palms upwards and kneading.

The clothes were already thin, and after a few wet patches, they felt like nothing was being worn against the skin, and were quickly stripped off.

The two were pressed together in the corner. Lu Weidong pulled her up from the corner and stepped into the bathtub.

The water is warm, just right for summer.

He put Ye Wenxi into the water, splashing water everywhere. She sat at the bottom of the tub and pushed him away, saying, "Take a bath properly."

Lu Weidong followed her lead and slid into the water. The two of them squeezed together, and the water overflowed and flowed down the edge.

Ye Wenxi grabbed the soap and rubbed it on his shoulders and neck a couple of times.

Lu Weidong let her wipe him, his hands caressing her waist, his lips seeking hers. The two kissed for a while in the steam, their breathing becoming heavy.

Another clap of thunder, and lightning illuminated the bathroom in a stark white light before plunging it into darkness.

Ye Wenxi suddenly stopped and listened to the sound of rain outside.

"With such heavy rain, I wonder if the windows of the clothing store are closed properly," she murmured.

Lu Weidong was kissing her collarbone when he heard this. He buried his head in her shoulder and chuckled softly, "You want the window at a time like this?"

He chuckled softly, leaned down, and pressed down on me, creating a wave of water.

"I'm thinking about something else."

"Huh? What?"

"Tonight, is your voice louder, or is the thunder louder...?"
