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

To dispel any unnecessary "suspicion," he returned to the meeting room and, forcing himself to add:

"Um... I had lunch with my partner."

This resulted in even bigger bursts of laughter, with several officials laughing so hard they were bent over on the table, unable to straighten up.

Lu Weidong maintained a stern, unapproachable expression throughout the entire meeting.

After finally getting through those two hours, he strode back to his office.

As soon as he put down his bag, he picked up the receiver and dialed his home number.

"Feed?" Lu Weidong asked in a deep voice.

"Hehehe..."

Immediately, Ye Wenxi's barely suppressed laughter came from the other end, tinged with a slightly guilty and ingratiating tone.

"Why..."

Lu Weidong sighed deeply, and his anger inexplicably dissipated by half in her laughter.

"I forgot... I couldn't help myself at the time," Ye Wenxi pleaded softly.

With just a few words, Lu Weidong's tightly pursed lips curled into a smile.

"Where did you go just now?" Ye Wenxi asked tentatively in a low voice.

"Hmph..." Lu Weidong snorted coldly, then said:

"A meeting is being held in a conference room with more than a dozen people in it."

Ye Wenxi closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

The scene was too beautiful for her to imagine.

"Lu Weidong." Her voice was filled with despair.

"Um?"

"Just say you were intimate with someone else, I can't bear the shame."

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

-----------------

In the afternoon, while Lu Weidong was processing documents in his office, he received a call from Section Chief Li of the Logistics Department.

"Weidong, we've sorted out what we talked about at noon today, and we have a few suitable spaces available."

"Why don't you and Comrade Xiao Ye both take some time to go and have a look?"

Lu Weidong was secretly delighted.

Usually, these kinds of venue applications are handled by the organization, and it's good enough if they meet the basic needs; there's rarely any room for choice.

He quickly agreed and thanked them.

Before leaving get off work, Section Chief Li had his orderly bring over several keys for the candidate sites.

The message also included: "If you decide on something this week, just let him know."

Lu Weidong carefully put away the keys and address information, and immediately told Ye Wenxi the good news.

"real?!"

"YES!" Ye Wenxi blurted out in her excitement.

"Huh?" Lu Weidong didn't understand.

Ye Wenxi brushed it off vaguely, not responding to the comment, her voice full of excitement:

"Then I'll cook a few extra dishes tonight, let's celebrate!"

"Come back soon!"

When Lu Weidong returned home, he saw that two dishes were already laid out on the dining table.

A plate of braised ribbonfish, and a plate of home-style cold dishes.

"Two more dishes, they'll be ready soon!"

Ye Wenxi's voice came from the kitchen, accompanied by the crisp sound of spatulas clattering together.

Lu Weidong walked straight into the kitchen without even taking off his coat and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind.

"Hey, stop messing around." Ye Wenxi twisted a couple of times but couldn't break free.

Lu Weidong buried his face in the warm crook of her neck, nuzzling her, his voice muffled:

"And now?"

"Still unable to control your emotions?"

He then used a mischievous tactic, reaching upwards with one hand and sliding downwards with the other...

"Lu...Lu Weidong!"

Ye Wenxi was both ashamed and angry, and her breathing became rapid.

"I'm cooking!"

Her hands, gripping the shovel, were starting to feel weak.

Lu Weidong was panting heavily, but he didn't stop moving.

Ye Wenxi felt as if his buttocks were being poked by a gun hidden under his military uniform.

"It won't delay you, you can continue cooking." His breath was unsteady, and his lips were close to her earlobe.

Lu Weidong nibbled indistinctly at the skin on the side of her neck, his grip tightening slightly.

The braised pork slices are cooking in the pot. This dish requires precise control of the heat and cannot be stopped halfway through.

Seeing that her dish, which was about to be served, was about to be ruined in the pot, Ye Wenxi panicked.

He picked up the spatula, still slick with hot oil, and lightly scalded the back of his restless hand.

"Hiss!" Lu Weidong pulled his hand back and took half a step back.

"If you don't behave, you're not eating tonight!" Ye Wenxi said, holding a spatula and glaring at him.

"Ugh, take your clothes off!"

She forcefully pushed the person out of the kitchen and slammed the kitchen door shut.

Lu Weidong rubbed his nose, pressed down on his gun, and grinned as he took off his clothes and washed his hands.

Ye Wenxi was serving dishes when she suddenly heard the kitchen door open again, which startled her.

Turning around, I saw Lu Weidong walk in with his shirt sleeves rolled up, his strong forearms exposed, their lines clean and sharp.

"Huh?!" Ye Wenxi glared at him warily.

"I won't make a fuss anymore... I really won't." Lu Weidong smiled and took the plate that had just come out of the pot from her hands.

"Is there one more dish? Don't make any more, we have enough."

"That won't do. Good dishes should come in pairs. It'll be ready soon."

As Ye Wenxi spoke, she took a stewed chicken out of the rice cooker, rinsed it in cold water, shredded the chicken into strips, mixed it with the prepared sauce, and made a hand-shredded chicken dish.

"The hand-shredded chicken is here!" she said, walking out with a large porcelain plate.

"Whoa!"

Lu Weidong's eyes lit up: "You figured this out yourself?"

"Hmm? You've never had this before?... Well, it's just a simple mix, super easy."

"I didn't expect you to have such a good appetite."

"This is nothing, what if..."

Yeh Wen-hsi almost blurted out, "If only we could buy seafood," but quickly stopped herself.

He changed his tune, saying, "If it were summer, I could come up with some fresh cold dishes for you."

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Lu Weidong looked at her, his eyes full of laughter.

"How come my wife is so capable?" he said, reaching out to give her cheek a light pinch.

"Oh, what are you saying?" Ye Wenxi went along with him, a sly glint in her eyes.

"If I'm not outstanding, how can I control our heartthrob Battalion Commander Lu?"

As she spoke, she walked up to him, put her arms around his waist, and looked up at him.

Looking into her bright eyes and her vivid features so close to his, Lu Weidong's heart melted.

"Control?" He repeated the word in a low voice.

Some erotic thoughts uncontrollably popped into his mind, instantly reminding him of Ye Wenxi's comments about him being "lustful" and a "giant python."

I couldn't help but chuckle twice.

"Your smile...something's not right," Ye Wenxi said, narrowing her eyes.

"Yes," Lu Weidong admitted frankly.

A mocking smile appeared on Lu Weidong's lips, his captivating eyes fixed on her face.

He took her hand and guided her...

"Is that how you 'handle' it?"

"ah!"

She quickly withdrew her hand, her ears turning bright red.

She shoved him away abruptly.

"I said... I said what did you do..." Ye Wenxi said, both angry and amused.

He cursed inwardly: This kid's really got some skills now that he's started a 'silver merchant' business!

"Ugh!" Ye Wenxi exclaimed.

We can't keep causing trouble, or we'll have to go straight to the battlefield.

She turned around and went to the cabinet, taking out the bottle of Moutai that Li Yuejin had given her.

He returned to Lu Weidong and tapped the bottle twice.

"Let's splurge a little today."

"Alright, I'll keep my wife company and get thoroughly drunk."

He brought over two glasses.

Ye Wenxi unscrewed the lid and poured a shallow amount of water into each of their cups.

She raised her glass.

Lu Weidong looked at her and smiled, "What should we toast?"

Ye Wenxi's eyes lit up, and she smiled, "A toast to the future."

"Okay, to the future."

Lu Weidong raised his glass, and the two glasses clinked together crisply before he downed it in one gulp.

The liquor was scalding hot, and Ye Wenxi gasped for breath before quickly picking up some cold dishes and putting them in her mouth.

Lu Weidong picked up the bottle and added a little more to the cup.

Then, he picked up his glass, looked at the wine in it, and slowly twirled his fingers along the rim.

Seeing that he had calmed down, Ye Wenxi also took a grip on the cup.

Lu Weidong raised his eyes and looked at her.

Her gaze was deep, like the still waters of a lake at dusk, yet beneath it seemed to gleam, a faint light reflecting only her shadow.

He raised his glass, his gaze meeting Ye Wenxi's, and they remained locked in a silent, intertwined look.

"Respectfully yours now."

Ye Wenxi's heart skipped a beat.

She understood his gaze and words, and a sweet smile spread across her lips.

She also raised her glass, met his eyes, and spoke softly:

"Respectfully yours now."
