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

The preliminary plan and personnel selection were completed, just as it was approaching lunchtime.

"Please send the revised plan to me," Ye Wenxi said to Wang Yingxue as she slowly walked towards the door.

"Huh?...Should I take you?" Wang Yingxue was a little hesitant.

"I'll go!" Ding Jiahe volunteered. "I also need to discuss something else with you."

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you."

"Where's Lu Weidong? Wasn't he supposed to come pick you up?" Ding Jiahe looked around.

"Squeak—"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the door was pushed open.

The heavy thud of military boots on the ground rang out.

"Speak of the devil and he shall appear."

Lu Weidong, wearing a military overcoat, with broad shoulders and long legs, walked in from the doorway, radiating a chill.

Seeing Ye Wenxi waiting for him there, the corners of his mouth immediately turned up.

The two looked into each other's eyes and smiled.

"Come on, let's return you to Lu Weidong intact. You've kept us busy all morning, like we're in a war zone." Zhang Yunxia led Ye Wenxi to Lu Weidong's side.

"Thank you for your trouble, sister-in-law." Lu Weidong nodded, took Ye Wenxi's hand, squeezed it, and casually draped it over his arm. "Let's go, Mom has cooked dinner and asked me to take you home to eat."

"I bet Mom made dumplings for lunch today, you believe me?"

How did you know?

"I mentioned to her a few days ago that I wanted to eat sauerkraut dumplings."

The two talked and smiled at each other as they walked out, shoulder to shoulder.

This couple is so well-matched that it's hard to look away.

Everyone in the room watched, their faces beaming with that kind of aunt-like smile, their eyes filled with joy.

Wang Yingxue also stood there watching.

She used to be afraid to look directly at such scenes, those sweet and tender moments of happiness that belonged to others.

It's not out of jealousy, but it just stirs up a pang of pain in my heart.

But now, she finally dares to raise her head again and look straight ahead.

What I see are these two people, but what comes to mind is another face.

As that person appeared, sweetness, like a piece of candy in her mouth, slowly melted in Wang Yingxue's heart.

Ye Wenxi straddled Lu Weidong's arm and leaned gently on his shoulder as the two slowly walked toward the family compound.

Halfway there, Lu Weidong suddenly stopped.

He took a step forward and half-squatted down.

Lu Weidong: "Come up."

Ye Wenxi: "No need, I can walk."

Lu Weidong: "It's okay, I'll carry you across."

Ye Wenxi: "No, it wouldn't be good to have that effect during the day."

"In our military region, everyone knows your situation. What negative impact could it have?" Lu Weidong said fearlessly.

Ye Wenxi stubbornly twisted her foot, took a step to the side, and bypassed him.

"Huh?" Lu Weidong quickly caught up.

He couldn't refuse her, so he took her hand again and put it on his arm: "Then I'll borrow a bicycle from Wang Hao next time."

"Forget it, bicycles are too slippery in the snow, and you're carrying me. You don't ride them often anyway, what if you fall?"

"Yeah, that's true. So you should still go out as little as possible. If you really have to work, could you do it from home?"

Ye Wenxi shook her head: "No, there are so many people, it's inconvenient for me to come. I'm really much better now."

"How good is it?" Lu Weidong frowned, looking at her with a somewhat serious expression.

"Okay..." Ye Wenxi smiled, pursing her lips, "I can give you some dessert."

Lu Weidong: ?!

The serious expression on Lu Weidong's face instantly melted away.

She quickly turned her head away so that Ye Wenxi wouldn't see the corners of her mouth that were curling up in a crazy way.

Ye Wenxi chased after him with a grin, snuggling her arm into his crook, her voice soft and gentle: "Feeling terrible, huh?"

"No," Lu Weidong said hoarsely, turning his head away.

"You're lying..." Ye Wenxi leaned close to his ear, her breath brushing against his earlobe. "Every time I sleep, I feel like there's a stick poking me in the blankets."

Lu Weidong paused, reached up to rub his forehead, then looked up seriously and pinched her cheek: "Stop fooling around! If you keep fooling around, I'll break the stitches."

Ye Wenxi burst out laughing, blushing as she playfully punched him: "You're the one who wouldn't bear to part with it."

The two arrived at Liu Xiuyun's house.

It was rare for Lu Xiaojun and Lu Weihua to both come back for lunch, which seemed to be arranged by Liu Xiuyun in advance.

Liu Xiuyun and Lu Zhenghua worked all morning and managed to make nearly two hundred dumplings, leaving them exhausted and rubbing their backs.

Ye Wenxi looked at the table full of dumplings and exclaimed, "My goodness, why did you make so many dumplings?"

"Not many. Our family eats about a hundred of them, but Xiaojun eats at least fifty at every meal."

"Besides, a lot of people come to our house for the New Year, so I was thinking of making a few extra portions for Weidong to take back." Liu Xiuyun said, taking out a few lunchboxes. "Weihua, you can send this box to Director Zhou later."

"Huh?" Lu Weihua, who was peeling garlic, turned around. "Why did you give it to him?"

Liu Xiuyun turned her head: "No matter what, he's your boss and has taken care of you for so long. Out of so many excellent students, why did he only transfer you here twice? He must think highly of you. Here's just this box of dumplings, take it back this afternoon."

"Work is work, and personal relationships are personal relationships. You don't know how to handle things at all," Liu Xiuyun said to her daughter as she scrubbed pots and pans in the kitchen.

"I'm not taking it," Lu Weihua muttered.

"What?!" Liu Xiuyun came out of the kitchen, glaring at her. "Why didn't you take it? Would it cost you anything to deliver a box of dumplings?"

"You nearly killed me." Lu Weihua didn't even look up, continuing to peel garlic.

"Hey you—"

"Alright, Mom," Lu Weidong said. "I'll go deliver it. Weihua hasn't graduated yet, so he doesn't know much about this. He needs more experience."

"Okay, go deliver it." Liu Xiuyun wrapped the lunchbox in a towel, placed it in front of Lu Weidong, and then glanced at Lu Weihua, "That brat is so stubborn, I wonder who she takes after."

Lu Zhenghua, who was massaging his lower back nearby, turned around and asked, "Hey? Why do you have to drag me into this?"

Lu Weidong and Ye Wenxi watched, giggling.

Liu Xiuyun took out another lunchbox, wrapped it in a towel, and pushed it in front of Lu Weidong:

"I'll send a box to Su Feng. I wonder if he got to eat any dumplings his family made for the New Year."

Lu Weidong: "............"

Ye Wenxi, who was peeling garlic with Lu Weihua, secretly glanced at Lu Weidong.

Lu Weidong sighed but did not refuse.

[Ye Wenxi: Oh? You've made up? When did that happen?]

What on earth happened between these two? It's driving me crazy!

however--

Lu Weidong quietly approached Lu Xiaojun, who was looking at a picture book, nudged him, and whispered something in his ear.

"Fine, I'll say you asked me to deliver it." Lu Xiaojun didn't even look up.

"Tsk!" Lu Weidong glared, "Don't drag me into this!"

"Second Uncle, aren't you two from the next office? Why did you ask me to deliver it?" Lu Xiaojun deliberately teased his second uncle.

"What?" Liu Xiuyun chased after him from the kitchen, clutching a rolling pin that was half-washed.

Lu Weidong elbowed Lu Xiaojun.

"What do you mean?" Liu Xiuyun's eyes widened.

"Huh? What? It's nothing, you must have misheard." Lu Weidong blinked innocently. "I'll deliver both of these boxes."

Ye Wenxi nudged Lu Weihua with her elbow:

"Hey? Why didn't you give Director Zhou that box of dumplings?"

Lu Weihua took a deep breath and exhaled heavily.

She didn't speak, but just kept her head down, looking preoccupied.

Ye Wenxi: ? ?
