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

After Ye Wenxi finished lunch and returned home, she began rummaging through drawers and cabinets looking for Su Feng's coat.

I checked the wardrobe, the storage boxes, and even the cabinets in the yard, but it wasn't there.

Ye Wenxi crawled out from under the bed and rubbed her lower back.

"That's strange... Where did it go? There's so little space, where else could it be?"

Ye Wenxi was a little anxious, afraid that if she ran into Su Feng again, she wouldn't be able to explain herself.

Having exhausted all other options, she walked to the phone and dialed the extension number for Lu Weidong's office.

The phone rang once and was answered.

"Feed? Who?"

"Feed? Battalion Commander Lu."

Ye Wenxi asked in a lighthearted tone, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

Upon hearing her voice, Lu Weidong chuckled softly, a smile unconsciously spreading across his face.

"I want to eat you."

Ye Wenxi clicked her tongue: "Oh dear, I'm asking you something important."

"You wouldn't believe it, our cafeteria is like it's New Year's today! We have so many new dishes!"

"I ordered three meat dishes for lunch, plus an extra serving of dumplings..."

She babbled on and on.

As Lu Weidong listened to her rambling on the other end, the smile on his lips never stopped.

"How about...dumplings?"

"No, I just ate lunch."

"Then... shall we have braised noodles?"

"No, I want to eat meat."

Lu Weidong leaned back in his chair and laughed out loud:

"Just order whatever you want to eat, why are you calling me then?"

"Oh, right." Ye Wenxi said casually, as if she had just remembered.

"I just remembered something; I only remembered it when I ran into Su Feng today."

Upon hearing that name, Lu Weidong felt a slight tug at his heart, and the sweet feeling he had just experienced faded somewhat.

Where did you put his shirt?

Lu Weidong was taken aback by Ye Wenxi's question.

"His clothes? Did you get them back?"

Ye Wenxi: ".............."

Ye Wenxi couldn't help but roll her eyes on the other end of the phone.

"You didn't actually get it back, did you?"

Lu Weidong was speechless for a moment.

He simply put his clothes on the back seat and didn't bother with them after getting off the bus.

So many days have passed, he's used and parked that car, but he hasn't paid any attention to the clothes.

And then, I really forgot about it.

He is a deputy regimental commander, and he does not use a special car. He usually drives a vehicle allocated by the military and has certain usage rights.

When the car is not in use, it is parked in a public parking lot, and whoever has a task drives it.

Oops...

This was the first time Lu Weidong had felt this emotion because of Su Feng.

Wenxi is probably angry.

Ye Wenxi sighed on the other end of the phone.

"Can we still find it?" she asked.

Lu Weidong cleared his throat tactically and told the truth.

"Cough...it's a bit difficult."

Ye Wenxi raised her hand to her forehead, speechless with anger.

She told everyone that it was sewn up, and even washed and hung it to dry herself.

How are we going to explain this? Should we say it was left out to dry in the yard and got blown away by the wind? Or that someone stole it?

Just because she was arguing with Su Feng, she took her anger out on a piece of clothing? Ye Wenxi was both amused and exasperated.

She could even imagine Lu Weidong's thoughts at that moment.

With a stern face, he casually tossed the jacket onto the back seat, thinking to himself: I'll sew a fart for you.

As it turned out, he got himself into trouble.

This person, who is usually so calm and composed, is surprisingly childish in this matter.

"Do you know where their special forces team is temporarily staying?" Ye Wenxi didn't complain about him, but her tone was clearly a little angry.

"What are you going to do?" Lu Weidong didn't answer directly.

"What?!" Ye Wenxi was genuinely angry this time.

"If you lose someone's things, are you just going to wait for them to come and ask you again and again? Shouldn't you take the initiative to compensate them? If you don't know, I'll go ask Sister Yunxia."

Zhang Yunxia is the "know-it-all" in the family compound; she'll definitely be able to find out.

"It's in the temporary dormitory area behind the guesthouse, Building No. 3," Lu Weidong said anyway.

"Okay, I understand."

"Uh... so what should we eat tonight?" Lu Weidong tried to steer the conversation back on track.

"Eat, eat, eat my ass! I'm hanging up!" Ye Wenxi said irritably and slammed the phone down.

Lu Weidong looked at the ringing receiver with a sense of helplessness.

Ye Wenxi hung up the phone with Lu Weidong and, without much hesitation, dialed the switchboard again.

"Hello, please transfer me to the management office of Building 3 in the temporary dormitory area."

After the call was transferred, she politely asked, "Hello, does Section Chief Su Feng of the Special Forces live in this building?"

The operator on the other end replied that Section Chief Su was probably at the training ground or in a meeting at this time, and was not there.

If you need anything, leave a message and I'll pass it on to him when he gets back.

Ye Wenxi thought for a moment and said, "Then please tell him that I need to talk to him and ask him to call extension 1587 when it's convenient for him."

"Okay, noted," the duty officer replied.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Wenxi looked at the pile of unfinished paper patterns on the table, and then thought about the missing jacket, and couldn't help but sigh again.

What kind of nonsense is this?

She had to bite the bullet and come up with an excuse.

Su Feng is clearly not short of money, so simply paying compensation is not enough and would also seem insincere.

Ye Wenxi thought about it for a moment and felt that the only proper way to apologize was to make the person a new set of clothes.

However, she doesn't design many menswear styles now, and they are all based on Lu Weidong's physique and temperament.

She was asked to give the design, specifically conceived for Lu Weidong, to Su Feng to wear....

She felt a little awkward.

"Ugh! I'm so angry!"

Ye Wenxi slammed his fist on the table in anger.

This trouble is entirely self-inflicted.

She shook her head, trying to put these worries aside, and continued working in silence.

I just picked up the scissors—

Ring ring ring!

The phone rang suddenly.

Ye Wenxi's heart skipped a beat.

Good heavens, they found us so quickly? She hasn't even come up with a plausible excuse yet!

She had no choice but to bite the bullet and get up to take it, silently praying:

Please don't let it be Su Feng, please don't let it be...

"Feed? Hello." Ye Wenxi's voice carried a hint of barely perceptible guilt.

"Feed? Heh...Looking for me?"

Su Feng's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of a smile.

Ye Wenxi felt a chill run down his spine.

"Haha...yes, Section Chief Su, it's almost Chinese New Year."

She tried to make her tone sound relaxed and natural.

"I was thinking of making you a new outfit to show my gratitude! Out with the old, in with the new, it's a good time to get something new."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a soft laugh from Su Feng. The laugh was gentle, yet it seemed to carry an air of knowing everything.

"Your clothes are missing?" he asked directly.

Ye Wenxi: "..."

"Haha, you know what a mess this is."

She gave a dry laugh, trying to brush it off.

"It was hanging on the clothesline in the yard. I came back to look for it, and guess what?! Hahaha..."

She herself found the excuse ridiculously clumsy, and annoyed.

In both of her lives combined, she had never felt so embarrassed.

"Okay." Su Feng's voice returned to normal.

"I just happened to hear about your clothing company today. Could you please make me one?"

Ye Wenxi breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Okay! Is it convenient for you to come over now? I'll take your measurements so you can choose the right fabric."

On the other end of the phone, Su Feng paused almost imperceptibly.

"To your house?" he asked to confirm.

"Yes, that's right! Everyone comes here to choose." Ye Wenxi answered frankly.

Whether it's ordering clothes in the compound or coming to my home to take measurements and choose styles, people always come here.

This is her home, and also her current studio; it's perfectly natural for her.

But this perfectly natural answer made Su Feng's heart skip a beat.

A strange emotion, burning with intense heat, quietly rose within her, and her ears turned slightly red without her even noticing.

He steadied his breathing, his voice remaining as calm as ever.

"Where are you? I'm coming over now."
