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

Lu Weidong walked behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. He lowered his head and rested his chin on her shoulder.

"Oh dear, I haven't finished cleaning up yet." Ye Wenxi's hand, which was wiping the table, was forced to stop.

"Are you tired?" Lu Weidong whispered in her ear.

"Hmm...sigh..." she sighed deeply.

Ye Wenxi simply stopped wiping. She turned around, hugged Lu Weidong, and buried her face in the crook of his neck.

Lu Weidong picked her up in his arms like a child, letting her wrap her arms around his neck. He supported her body, and the two of them strolled slowly in this position in the open space behind the warehouse.

Ye Wenxi then gently rested her face on his shoulder.

Lu Weidong's shoulders were broad and steady. She leaned on them, inhaling the unique, reassuring scent emanating from behind his ear.

"How about I partition off this area to turn it into a restaurant?" Ye Wenxi straightened up and pointed to an area.

"So, are you going to add a kitchen to your kitchen later?" Lu Weidong asked with a smile.

"It's not impossible," Ye Wenxi said earnestly, "I'll look into it when the weather gets warmer, and then I'll ask Aunt Lang to make us sweet and sour pork!"

Lu Weidong: "...Building a kitchen just for sweet and sour pork?"

"Oh dear, I don't understand, this is called employee benefits!"

"I've never heard of any company offering employee benefits that include those working in the kitchen and dining area," Lu Weidong said with a helpless smile.

"Huh? That's because you didn't... Hmph!"

Ye Wenxi originally wanted to say, "There are many things you haven't heard of," but she swallowed the rest of the sentence.

After all, the large company she used to work for had very luxurious employee benefits. For example, the gym and various sports facilities alone covered several thousand square meters, and there was even a rock climbing area. Not to mention the multi-story restaurants.

"I think someone was implying that I'm ignorant?"

Lu Weidong's voice drifted down from above, carrying a hint of malice.

"Who? Who!" Ye Wenxi sat up straight in his arms, turning her head left and right as if looking for someone. "Who dares to say that our Lu Weidong is ignorant? Tell me, and I'll teach her a lesson for you!" She cupped his face, said it seriously, and then gave him a kiss.

"It's alright, don't bother." Lu Weidong looked down at her, a mischievous smile on his lips. "I'll deal with her myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, he picked her up and ran quickly.

"Ah—!" Ye Wenxi was so frightened that she grabbed his neck and wrapped her legs around him, hanging on him like an octopus.

"Hey, slow down! Hahaha—"

Lu Weidong didn't slow down; instead, he ran faster and faster, circling around the warehouse, his footsteps echoing loudly throughout the warehouse.

"Too fast—!" Ye Wenxi shouted, but as she laughed, her voice cracked and tears almost streamed down her face.

Lu Weidong carried her, dodging left and right, sometimes around the sewing machine, sometimes through the shelves, like driving a runaway car, yet somehow still steadily.

Ye Wenxi was jostled around by him, laughing and shouting, burying her face in his neck, laughing so hard her whole body was shaking.

"Put me down! Lu Weidong! I'm falling!"

"No, I'm holding you."

"Let it go quickly—hahahahaha—"

After running several laps, Lu Weidong finally slowed down, then spun around in place and held her securely in his arms.

Ye Wenxi leaned on his shoulder, panting and unable to speak. As she laughed, her arms tightened around him again.

"How old are you?" she asked, laughing so hard she was panting, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Three years old," Lu Weidong said with a smile.

"Three years old, so how old am I?"

Lu Weidong thought for a moment and answered seriously, "You are two and a half years old."

"Why do I have to be younger than you?" Ye Wenxi squinted at him. "Lu Weidong, so you like younger women?"

"Cough...no." Lu Weidong's eyes darted around, and he turned his face away somewhat guiltily.

"Look me in the eyes and say it again!" Ye Wenxi reached out and tried to pry his face off, but Lu Weidong dodged left and right, refusing to look at her.

"What will I do when I get old?"

Lu Weidong suddenly put her down and ran away.

"Hmph! So you like young people! Fine, Lu Weidong!" Ye Wenxi chased after him, "Don't run away, you stay right there!"

Lu Weidong ran incredibly fast, circling around the middle of the field, while Ye Wenxi chased after him, breathless.

"Stop right there!"

"Lu Weidong!"

She finally grabbed his clothes and was pulled forward a few steps by him, almost falling to the ground.

"Hahahaha—" She laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight, and Lu Weidong laughed too. The two of them finally fell into the pile of fabric next to them.

Ye Wenxi lay on his chest, panting, her hair disheveled.

"Gotcha, huh?" she panted, beaming with pride.

Lu Weidong reached out and brushed her hair aside, revealing her flushed face. He lifted her chin and kissed her passionately. After a long and tender kiss, Lu Weidong looked up and said to her.

"You're pretty good. I'll reward you tonight."

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

The next morning, when Lu Weidong woke up, he found that Ye Wenxi was no longer by his side.

Before dawn, a sliver of light from the study shone through the doorway.

Lu Weidong walked to the door of the study and saw Ye Wenxi working at her desk.

"Why are you up so early?"

"Hmm... I'll organize some more materials, maybe I can use them this morning." Ye Wenxi fiddled with the documents she usually kept on the table, looking at them as if she was calculating something.

"I'll have breakfast at the cafeteria later, so you don't need to worry about me. Go do your morning exercises," Ye Wenxi said without turning her head.

"Okay, let's have lunch together then," Lu Weidong said.

"Okay! I'll come find you at the cafeteria at noon," Ye Wenxi replied.

Around 7 a.m., Ye Wenxi carried a file bag and put all his historical design drafts and management manuals inside.

I rode my bicycle straight to the venue.

When the person arrived, the cleaning staff member surnamed Shen was already working. She was holding a mop and started from the doorway, pushing the mop back brick by brick. The water stains glistened in the morning light and were quickly wiped dry by the mop.

Before long, the technicians arrived one after another. Some changed into their work clothes, some tidied up the sewing machines, and some took out the unfinished pieces from the night before and continued sewing. The sound of sewing machines rose and fell intermittently, gradually becoming a continuous chorus.

Ye Wenxi pulled Li Yanyu aside and whispered, "Aunt Li, some leaders will be coming to inspect our work today. Don't worry about them, just keep talking."

"Huh?" Li Yanyu clutched her chest, her face turning pale. "You want the boss to watch me lecture? Oh dear, I've never lectured in front of the boss before!"

"What are you afraid of? You've explained this so many times, you know it by heart. Just do your best." Ye Wenxi put her arm around her shoulder and patted her with a smile.

"Oh my god..." Li Yanyu pressed her chest, her voice trembling, "Xiao Ye, after you said that, my heart almost jumped out of my chest."

"It's okay, they're just here to see how we usually work. Just do what you normally do." Ye Wenxi said, while patting her chest to help her catch her breath. She could feel her heart pounding in her palm.

Li Yanyu looked at her for a long time, then slowly loosened her grip on the lesson plan and nodded.

Zhou Xuchen was the first to arrive. He was wearing a dark gray coat and carrying a briefcase. As soon as he entered, he nodded to Ye Wenxi, said nothing, and went straight to the conference table to sit down.

Next was Director Chen from the Logistics Department. He pushed open the door, looked around, his gaze lingering for a moment on the bulletin board on the wall, then smiled and waved to Ye Wenxi: "Xiao Ye, you go ahead with your work, I'll just wander around by myself."

Finally, a military green jeep slowly drove up.

Upon hearing the car, Ye Wenxi immediately put down what she was holding and went to greet it. The car door opened, and when she saw who was inside, her pupils constricted sharply.

Besides Director Huang from the Political Department, there was one other person who got off the bus.

"Commander Zhou?!" Ye Wenxi stepped forward quickly, her voice filled with surprise, "I really didn't expect you to be able to come despite your busy schedule."

Zhou Qiwen got out of the car, patted his coat collar, and walked inside with a smile: "Xiao Ye, long time no see. I've come to see everyone. Come on, let's go in."
