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

Ye Wenxi was taken aback when Lu Weidong called her "Lady White Snake".

She understood.

This was Lu Weidong carefully comforting her.

He wanted to reach out and try to pull her out of some invisible cage that only she could see.

Ye Wenxi looked up at him.

On that angular face, which usually carried a cold and hard expression, the eyes were extremely gentle at this moment.

She tried to open her mouth, but couldn't find the first word to say.

Her lips moved slightly, but she eventually looked away and gazed elsewhere.

Lu Weidong noticed her subtle movement and the instant dimming of her expression.

He got it.

I can't say. I mustn't say.

He took a deep breath, as if trying to suppress the suffocating feeling of helplessness in his heart, and when he spoke again, his voice was even softer:

"Then... is there anything I can do to help?"

Ye Wenxi leaned against him, her brows furrowed tightly, her lowered eyes constantly flickering, as if she were rapidly searching through her thoughts.

A few seconds later, she gently shook her head.

She couldn't figure it out.

She didn't know how to keep Ding Jiahe in a reasonable way without arousing suspicion from above.

She has a forward-thinking eye when designing clothes.

You can take advantage of policy easing to revitalize small businesses.

Because none of these have any impact and do not cross the red line.

But this is war.

Especially in a disciplined environment like the military, where information is highly sensitive.

As a military dependent, she couldn't find a way to have the best of both worlds.

This way, he could both protect Ding Jiahe and absolve himself of any responsibility.

For the first time, she felt that those insights from the "future" were so pale and powerless in the face of certain realities.

It would be a great blessing if Ding Jiahe could return safely.

But if something really happens to her...

Ye Wenxi could never shake off that thought in her entire life:

It is the butterfly effect that we created.

Even if it was unintentional, even if it wasn't her fault.

But Ye Wenxi is kind-hearted and easily trapped by herself; she is heavy-hearted and sentimental.

She couldn't help but feel guilty and keep dwelling on it.

Seeing her like this, Lu Weidong knew that he wouldn't get anything out of her by asking any more questions.

Unable to exert any effort on her own, she encountered a problem that could not be explicitly stated and for which she had no idea how to solve it.

Since we can't solve it, dragging it out isn't a solution either.

He needs to change her mindset.

"Want to go shooting?" Lu Weidong suddenly asked.

Ye Wenxi paused for two seconds before coming to her senses: "Huh?"

"I'll take you to shoot targets."

Ye Wenxi frowned: "Weren't you saying we weren't allowed to go?"

"Then let's figure out a way to go," Lu Weidong said casually.

"Isn't this inappropriate? It violates discipline, has a bad influence, and what if they investigate later?"

"If they're going to investigate, they'll investigate me," Lu Weidong said, looking at her. "It has nothing to do with you."

"Nonsense!" Ye Wenxi glared at him and turned her head away.

No matter how worried I am for her, I can't break the rules like this.

Lu Weidong patted her leg lightly, signaling her to get up.

"Wait for me."

He walked to the telephone and dialed a number.

"Feed?"

"I'm Lu Weidong. Are you going to the shooting range later? I'd like to take someone with me."

"Who else could it be? Ye Wenxi."

"Okay, I'll be there in a bit."

Ye Wenxi watched him hang up the phone, her eyes filled with doubt.

"Who are you calling? Didn't I tell you that's not right?"

"Don't worry, he's using it now and has temporary access rights." Lu Weidong walked back.

"We were both there, so if there's any responsibility, we can just push it onto him."

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

She couldn't tell who it was from the first few sentences, but as soon as the last sentence came out, she immediately guessed it.

"Is it Su Feng?" she asked.

"Hmm, I find that you guessed him pretty accurately," Lu Weidong teased, raising an eyebrow.

She snorted and rolled her eyes.

That's because I understand you!

She couldn't tell whether she was angry or happy with Lu Weidong.

I'm so glad he came up with this idea to cheer himself up, and he even went to find Su Feng.

It's infuriating that he's blatantly dragging others down with him and making them share the responsibility.

She tried to refuse, but Lu Weidong had already picked up the cotton-padded coat and put it on her.

Before leaving, Lu Weidong paused and then turned back.

"Wait for me a moment."

He walked to the phone and dialed another number.

"Hey, this is Lu Weidong. Tell Wang Hao to come to the shooting range entrance in ten minutes."

Ye Wenxi stared wide-eyed at him.

"Why did you call me Wang Hao?"

"Let him do his part too." Lu Weidong put down the phone, his tone casual.

"It's all because of that Ding Jiahe of his that made you uncomfortable."

Ye Wenxi: "??????"

"No... what does this have to do with anything? My discomfort has nothing to do with Xiao Ding."

"It's not what you think!"

"Besides, this can't be traced back to Wang Hao. How can you be like this..."

.......

Before she could finish speaking, Lu Weidong had already pulled her out the door.

Ye Wenxi was pulled away by Lu Weidong, who kept babbling on and on.

Just as she was about to leave the building, Lu Weidong suddenly stopped and turned around to look at her.

Ye Wenxi frowned, looked up at him, and thought:

What, you want to argue with me?

The next second, Lu Weidong suddenly leaned over and cupped her face in his hands.

"Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!"

He kissed her forehead, cheeks, and lips several times, the kisses loud and crisp.

"Ouch!" Ye Wenxi said angrily, raising her hand to punch his shoulder.

"Here's yours back." Lu Weidong grinned.

Ye Wenxi's taut face finally broke down, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly before she quickly suppressed it, revealing an expression that was both angry and amused.

The heavy cloud in my heart did indeed dissipate quite a bit after he made such a fuss.

Lu Weidong took her hand again and led her towards the shooting range.

It was the time when people were leaving get off work. On the road, there were officers returning home from their shifts, as well as groups of children chasing each other. They all greeted the two of them with smiles.

Ye Wenxi's hand was firmly grasped by Lu Weidong and stuffed into the warm pocket of his military overcoat.

The two of them hurried over there like they were on a forced march.

By the time we arrived at the firing range, it was already completely dark.

"It's so dark, how am I supposed to see the target?" Ye Wenxi muttered to herself.

Lu Weidong coughed lightly, suppressing a laugh, thinking to himself: You might not be able to hit it even during the day.

But he said, "It won't affect the experience; you'll see when you go in."

The two walked to the entrance, where Wang Hao was already waiting.

Upon seeing Ye Wenxi, Wang Hao jogged over to greet her: "Sister-in-law!"

"I was wondering why the battalion commander suddenly called me over."

"Why did you decide to come shooting targets, sister-in-law? And at this particular time?"

"Because..." Lu Weidong had only uttered two words when Ye Wenxi stomped on his foot hard, and he swallowed his words back.

Wang Hao looked at him, then at Ye Wenxi, somewhat puzzled.

"It's nothing, I just came to broaden my horizons," Ye Wenxi replied with a smile.

"Alright! Don't worry, sister-in-law, Section Chief Su has arranged everything."

As Wang Hao spoke, he handed Lu Weidong a walkie-talkie, and held one in his own hand as well.

Ye Wenxi realized that Wang Hao had been specifically called in to keep watch.

Ye Wenxi glanced at the guard post at the entrance; the guards didn't move.

It seems that Su Feng did indeed make the arrangements.

But she was still very uneasy, and followed Lu Weidong inside like a thief.

Upon entering, one sees dozens of special forces members resting in twos and threes against the wall.

Upon hearing footsteps, everyone who was resting turned around and their eyes all fell on Ye Wenxi.

Ye Wenxi gasped, forcing out a low, menacing sentence aimed entirely at Lu Weidong:

"I told you I couldn't do it, but you insisted I do it!"

"Keep training!"

A voice suddenly cut in, not loud, but firm.

The soldiers, who had been relaxed just moments before, immediately tensed up, stood up, and returned to their positions with movements as fast as if a switch had been flipped.

Ye Wenxi looked in the direction of the sound.

Su Feng's newly made corduroy jacket stood out conspicuously among the sea of ​​dark training uniforms.

He walked up to her with his hands in his pockets and stopped.

"Why did you decide to come here for target practice?"

"Want to murder your husband? I can do it for you."
