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

"Let's eat together, Section Chief Su."

Ye Wenxi politely invited Su Feng.

Although Su Feng is a member of the Su family, it would have been much more difficult to resolve the Su family's problems last time if Su Feng hadn't been there.

Since we know this person is different from the rest of the Su family, we still need to maintain the proper social interactions.

Lu Weidong glanced at her, then turned to Su Feng: "Let's go together."

"Okay," Su Feng replied readily.

The waiter led the three to a table by the window.

Lu Weidong and Su Feng simultaneously pulled out chairs, gesturing for Ye Wenxi to sit down.

Lu Weidong frowned slightly; the atmosphere was a bit tense.

"I'll sit here; it's bright by the window."

Ye Wenxi sat down in the chair that Lu Weidong had pulled out.

"Comrade, the menu," Su Feng called out to the waiter.

The waiter came over and handed me a menu.

Just as Su Feng was about to take it, Lu Weidong took it first.

"Take a look." Lu Weidong placed the menu in front of Ye Wenxi.

Su Feng withdrew his hand, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Comrade Su, is there anything you like?"

"It's on us today, don't be shy."

Ye Wenxi said, and asked Su Feng to take a look at the menu.

Su Feng waved his hand: "I come here often. Their braised pork ribs are pretty good. You can try them."

"Okay, then I'll have braised pork ribs. What would you like to eat?"

Ye Wenxi handed the menu to Lu Weidong so he could also look at it and order.

"You like fried meatballs, right? They have those too."

"Okay, two more vegetarian dishes, please."

The waiter took our order and then took the menu.

Su Feng picked up the kettle, poured Ye Wenxi a hot cup, and handed it to her.

Ye Wenxi smiled and accepted the cup, then handed Lu Weidong the empty cup.

Su Feng stopped what he was about to do and poured a glass for Lu Weidong as well.

There was a moment of silence at the dinner table, a little awkward.

"Comrade Su, aren't you busy with work?" Ye Wenxi asked, trying to start a conversation. "Have you been in Harbin these past few days?"

"I need to keep an eye on Su Ran's situation." Su Feng put down his teacup.

"I'm worried that if I leave, someone will interfere."

He looked up at Ye Wenxi: "I need to give you an explanation."

Ye Wenxi didn't know what to say for a moment, so she picked up her teacup and took a sip.

"Thank you for your kind words, Comrade Su."

Having said that, we ran out of things to say.

She lowered her head and silently drank the hot water.

Lu Weidong didn't speak, his eyes were looking out the window, and his body leaned towards Ye Wenxi.

His arm rested naturally on the back of Ye Wenxi's chair.

"Comrade Ye, are you going to take an exam nearby?"

Ye Wenxi, who was drinking water, paused: "How did you know?"

"Hmph." Lu Weidong snorted coldly.

"Section Chief Su, your professional skills are truly impressive; you were even able to analyze this?"

"Comrade Su...is a reconnaissance soldier?"

Ye Wenxi looked at the two of them with a blank expression.

She knew that Jiang Dayong was a reconnaissance soldier.

Those people are incredibly skilled at tracking, counter-tracking, and observation.

Last time, Su Feng found the bungalow where they were gathered on his own, and she thought he also had the background of a scout.

"Section Chief Su is the head of the Special Operations Training Section and has won first place in the Military Region's Professional Ability Competition for three consecutive years."

Lu Weidong looked out the window, his tone as flat as if he were talking about a complete stranger.

Su Feng leaned back, put his hands in his pockets, and smiled slightly.

"Battalion Commander Lu is also good; he came in second place last year."

Ye Wenxi: "..."

Lu Weidong's temple throbbed.

"Haha, so you two knew each other before?"

Ye Wenxi smiled and tried to smooth things over.

But neither of them responded.

These words simply fell to the ground.

It seems the two did know each other before, and their relationship wasn't very good.

Ye Wenxi, feeling awkward, quickly changed the subject:

"Wei Dong, what is a special forces team?"

Ye Wenxi actually called him Wei Dong.

This made Lu Weidong feel a little pleased, and he turned to look at Ye Wenxi with a much gentler gaze.

He gave Ye Wenxi a brief explanation.

Special operations teams, officially known as special forces, are elite units directly under the military region.

They specialize in tackling tough challenges, such as reconnaissance behind enemy lines, decapitation strikes, raids, and rescue missions.

The Operations and Training Department is responsible for training and combat research.

Ye Wenxi was somewhat shocked to hear this.

It's astonishing that a corrupt family like the Su family could produce someone like Su Feng.

Despite her shock, she remained calm and even momentarily lost in thought.

"Oh, right."

She snapped out of her daze, took out fifty yuan from her bag, and pushed it in front of Su Feng.

"Comrade Su, I'm so sorry I damaged your clothes last time. Please accept this money."

Su Feng didn't even look at the money, and simply pushed it back.

"No need. This is such a small matter, why would it cost money?"

He leaned back and rested his arm on the back of the chair.

"Comrade Ye, didn't you open a clothing store in the military region? Just help me with some mending when you have time."

As he spoke, he stood up, deftly unzipped his jacket, and took off his coat.

A black short-sleeved shirt was visible, revealing well-defined chest and abdominal muscles.

He casually draped his coat over the back of the chair in front of Ye Wenxi.

"Hey? Don't take it off! What will you wear if you take it off now?"

Ye Wenxi paused for a moment, then frowned.

"Wait... how did you know I owned a clothing company?"

Her expression turned serious: "Have you investigated me?"

"Comrade Su is highly skilled, but there's no need for him to keep coming back to me."

Lu Weidong watched from the side, his lips twitching, but he couldn't help turning his face away to hide the smile.

Su Feng sat back in his chair, looking completely at ease.

"It's something the entire military region knows about. What kind of expertise do I need to use to investigate?"

He pointed to the jacket: "Just give it to me next time you go to the military region."

Ye Wenxi pushed his coat back a little.

"You should put it on. It's below zero; you can't go back in short sleeves."

"Besides, you're probably not in the same military region as us, are you?"

Lu Weidong reached out and snatched the coat away.

"It'll be soon; they'll be participating in this exercise as well."

As he spoke, he placed Su Feng's clothes on the back of another chair.

"Don't bother my wife with such a small thing." He turned to Ye Wenxi and said, "I can sew."

Ye Wenxi's eyes widened slightly: "You can sew clothes?"

"Basic skills," Lu Weidong said in a normal tone.

"Soldiers all need to know how to sew."

He looked up at Su Feng and added:

"I don't understand why Section Chief Su, who's ranked first in his major, can't do it?"

Ye Wenxi: "..."

Su Feng sat opposite him, still the same as before, wearing a short-sleeved shirt, his arm casually draped over the back of the chair.

Hearing this, he chuckled and said, "Commander Lu is very skillful; I can't compare."

"If you don't know how to sew, learn," Lu Weidong said.

"The head of the special operations training department can't even sew a shirt. It's not a good thing to say that way."

Ye Wenxi was almost sweating.

Just then, a waiter came over with a tray.

The tray held two dishes of the food they had ordered.

"Comrade, another pound of rice, please," Ye Wenxi said.

"Alright, would you like some drinks?" the waiter asked.

"No, thank you." Ye Wenxi waved her hand.

The dishes were placed on the table, and Ye Wenxi picked up her chopsticks: "Eat, eat."

That braised pork ribs dish was the last one to arrive.

It was placed next to Su Feng.

Su Feng carried the plate and moved the braised pork ribs in front of Ye Wenxi.

"Eat it while it's hot."

"Oh, okay, thank you."

Lu Weidong's eyes flashed with a cold light, and the air pressure was so low it was almost suffocating.

Ye Wenxi ate her rice in silence, thinking that she should finish quickly and leave as soon as possible.

She felt extremely uncomfortable during the meal.

Three people, one table of dishes.

Aside from the clatter of bowls and chopsticks and the occasional comment about the taste of the food, there was almost no conversation.

Ye Wenxi was the first to put down her chopsticks: "I'm done eating."

Lu Weidong noticed there was still half a bowl of rice left in her bowl: "Want some more?"

"I'm full." She wiped her mouth.

Lu Weidong also put down his chopsticks, and Su Feng stopped eating as well.

Ye Wenxi got up to pay the bill.

Su Feng stood up to stop him, saying, "I'll pay. How can we let a woman pay?"

"You wouldn't know this... As a married woman, I control the family finances."

Ye Wenxi smiled and glanced at Lu Weidong.

She quickly handed it to the waiter, saying, "Comrade, this is for me."

"I said this meal is on you," Ye Wenxi said, turning to Su Feng.

"Thank you, I'll treat you next time."

Lu Weidong walked over and naturally put his arm around her waist.

"I'm gone."
