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

Ye Wenxi took a break from her busy schedule and made a phone call to Lu Weidong.

"Hey, Weidong? It'll probably be quite late today, I still have a ton of things to take care of. Go eat by yourself first."

"It's okay, I'll go take care of something first, then I'll come pick you up."

After getting off work, Lu Weidong went directly to the clinic.

He needs to "stock up".

The clinic had already closed for the day, and only one pharmacist remained in the pharmacy. Lu Weidong glanced around at the door to make sure there weren't many people inside, then walked straight in.

"Comrade Zhang," Lu Weidong greeted him.

"Hey? Chief of Staff Lu, are you here to collect it?" Pharmacist Zhang was already familiar with his procedures.

"Hmm." Lu Weidong nodded, his eyes flickering slightly.

"Wait a minute," Pharmacist Zhang said, turning around.

"Huh?" Lu Weidong was taken aback.

"I'll get the box. There are only ten of these, it probably won't be enough, right?" Pharmacist Zhang knew Lu Weidong, who was ranked "number one," very well.

Lu Weidong scratched his brow: "Okay, sure."

Just as Pharmacist Zhang left, the door of the clinic creaked open.

Lu Weidong subconsciously turned around, trying to avoid acquaintances.

"Hey? What are you doing here?"

It turned out to be someone I knew.

"Hehe, Commander." Lu Weidong turned around awkwardly.

Chen Yuanchuan peered into the pharmacy through the window.

Where are they?

"Um... I went to get something."

"Commander, are you feeling unwell?" Lu Weidong asked tentatively.

"I've come to collect some family planning supplies," Chen Yuanchuan said quite frankly.

"Huh?...Oh"

Lu Weidong was taken aback by this sudden openness.

"Hmm? Commander, haven't you and your wife always wanted to have a child?" Lu Weidong asked cautiously.

He had seen Chen Yuanchuan's name on the list... no, the registration form last time, but he was too embarrassed to ask.

"Yes, I want one, but your sister-in-law has to support her."

"The doctor I saw last time said that I had actually tried to have sex before, but I had threatened miscarriages because I was too weak to sit up."

"Therefore, we can't just leave it alone; we have to take care of it."

"Oh..." Lu Weidong nodded as if he understood.

"What brings you here?" Commander Chen asked, feigning ignorance.

"Me too." Lu Weidong stopped pretending.

"Haha, right, you two are on your honeymoon." Chen Yuanchuan raised an eyebrow and smiled maliciously.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Pharmacist Zhang returned carrying the box.

"Xiao Zhang, give us both." Chen Yuanchuan reached out his hand directly.

"Okay, wait a minute... let me see if it's enough." Pharmacist Zhang counted with his head down.

"Tch, bullshit! What could possibly be not enough?" Chen Yuanchuan laughed and cursed.

Lu Weidong was starting to sweat. He wanted to retreat.

For the first time in his life, this thought popped into his head: he wanted to be a deserter!

But his feet seemed nailed to the ground, leaving him rooted to the spot, eyes closed, awaiting the awkward judgment.

The expected counting began as scheduled.

"Five...ten...fifteen...twenty..."

"There's still so much left, aren't there? And you're telling me it's not enough?" Chen Yuanchuan laughed and cursed.

"Hehehe, Commander Chen, these are for Chief of Staff Lu," Pharmacist Zhang said with a smile, handing the bag to Lu Weidong.

Chen Yuanchuan: "........."

He moved two steps closer to Lu Weidong and looked him up and down as if he were an animal.

"Holy crap...you little brat? How long are you planning to take?"

Lu Weidong didn't reply, but instead scribbled away on the registration form, preparing to finish quickly and leave.

"Chief of Staff Lu, a new manufacturer has provided a new model, including a large size. Would you like to try it?"

Lu Weidong put down his pen and was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly remembered the 'clothes' that were never quite the right size.

He gritted his teeth and turned back.

"Then give me some more." Lu Weidong said, seemingly unfazed.

"I'm fucking asking you!"

Chen Yuanchuan slapped Lu Weidong on the back of the head with a "smack".

"Oh, Commander..." Lu Weidong begged for mercy, refusing to say anything.

"I'll see for myself." Chen Yuanchuan snatched the registration form.

Lu Weidong stared at the ceiling in despair, feeling utterly hopeless.

"Here you go, Chief of Staff Lu, these are ten large ones. If you find them useful, I'll keep these for you in the future."

"Okay, thanks."

Lu Weidong picked up his things and left without even saying goodbye to Chen Yuanchuan.

Chen Yuanchuan flipped through two pages and finally found the date when Lu Weidong last collected it.

"Holy crap!!"

"This kid, damn it..." Chen Yuanchuan was dumbfounded.

"This is considered a relatively long interval," said Pharmacist Zhang, raising an eyebrow with a mischievous grin.

Chen Yuanchuan remembered that Ding Jiahe had been involved recently...

"hiss..."

Chen Yuanchuan pondered for a moment, and seemed to have made a major decision.

"Xiao Zhang, give me ten."

Pharmacist Zhang nodded heavily. He truly lived up to his reputation as a mentor!

Lu Weidong glanced at the time; the cafeteria was still open.

He jogged over, grabbed a few lunchboxes from the cafeteria, then quickly turned back, carrying the bags, to the warehouse to find Ye Wenxi.

Seeing the warehouse lights still on through the crack in the door, Lu Weidong gently pushed the door open and went inside.

Inside the venue, besides Ye Wenxi, Zhang Yunxia and Wang Yingxue were also present.

"Wenxi?"

Lu Weidong stood a little distance away and greeted them first.

Everyone turned around at the sound.

"I ordered a few extra portions, how about we eat first?"

"Okay." Ye Wenxi put down her pen and walked over, ready to take the lunchbox from his hand.

Then I saw the distinctive brown paper bags from the infirmary.

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

She looked up at Lu Weidong speechlessly.

"cough...."

Lu Weidong silently placed the large brown paper bag aside.

"Wei Dong, this is our new colleague, Wang Yingxue."

"Oh, hello." Lu Weidong nodded politely.

He then took out the lunch boxes one by one, handed them chopsticks, and presented them to Ye Wenxi.

Everyone was eating with their heads down, exchanging a few words occasionally. Lu Weidong picked out two pieces of meat from his lunchbox and put them into her bowl.

It's a natural, undeniable expression of care and pampering.

Ye Wenxi kicked Lu Weidong, signaling him to stop pinching.

In fact, Lu Weidong did not deliberately "show affection"; this was just his usual routine with her.

but....

Ye Wenxi noticed that Wang Yingxue was eating in silence.

She kept her head down, not daring to look up.

Indeed, Ye Wenxi and Lu Weidong's happiness was like a mirror, reflecting the part of her heart she dared not touch.

The scene was somewhat jarring and painful, causing her eyes to redden slightly.

She lowered her head and forcefully shoveled a mouthful of rice into her mouth.

She was the same age as Ye Wenxi and had once had a husband who loved her so much.

Zhang Yunxia picked up the meat from her bowl and gave it to Wang Yingxue.

"Xiaoxue, eat more meat."

"Yes, thank you, sister-in-law," Wang Yingxue replied softly.

Ye Wenxi handed her a key to the warehouse.

"Xiaoxue, you can use any of the sewing machines that are available until 8 PM at the latest. Please be careful on your way back."

This was something Ye Wenxi had promised before; as long as Wang Yingxue was willing, she could provide her with practice space and equipment free of charge.

"Yes, thank you, Moon-hee."

"You're welcome. Practice a lot and become a skilled technician soon. Once you transition from cleaning to a technician, you'll quickly earn enough to buy your own sewing machine."

"Sigh!" Wang Yingxue nodded vigorously, and the gloom on her face finally dissipated a little.

The days that weighed heavily on her heart, like stones, began to loosen little by little as she stepped through the door of this warehouse.

It was as if a beam of light shone in; though still so bright, it was enough for her to see the road ahead.
