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

The jeep drove smoothly on the road leading to the family compound.

Zhou Xuchen gripped the steering wheel, his eyes fixed on the road ahead.

"Comrade Ye, I heard that you recently started a clothing store in the compound and even held a recruitment event for young models?"

Ye Wenxi looked at the rearview mirror in surprise.

"Comrade Zhou, how did you know?"

Zhou Xuchen's lips curved slightly.

I glanced at her in the mirror.

"It seems that Comrade Ye is not quite aware of his current fame."

"That day, the area in front of the service center was very lively, with a couple hundred people gathered, and the whole compound was talking about it."

"I just happened to be passing by, so I stopped to take a look."

He had gone to the service store to buy something that day.

Even before I got close, I could hear the excited chatter of the crowd.

I vaguely heard the name "Ye Wenxi" and unconsciously followed the crowd.

Across the throng of people.

He saw Ye Wenxi standing on the low cement railing beside the flower bed.

He was explaining something to a group of family members.

Ye Wenxi stood in the light, his figure edged with a light gold.

Zhou Xuchen stared at the crowd from a few steps away, unable to look away for a moment.

Only after everyone had mostly left did he look away and turn to leave.

Lu Weihua didn't say much the whole way.

I sat quietly in the back seat.

His gaze secretly swept between Zhou Xuchen in the driver's seat and his second sister-in-law beside him.

After driving for a few minutes, the car came to a smooth stop in front of the apartment building.

Zhou Xuchen got out of the car to help carry the things.

They escorted me all the way to my doorstep before politely nodding and leaving.

"Finally here!" Lu Weihua leaned back in his chair as soon as he entered the room.

"If I don't eat soon, my chest will stick to my back."

"Let's go to the cafeteria now." Ye Wenxi put down the keys.

Lu Weihua looked up and carefully examined his surroundings.

Inside the small house, a floral tablecloth covered the wooden table, and the enamel kettle and cups were wiped clean.

On the table was a glass jar containing reeds and a few withered smartweed plants.

Ye Wenxi picked them from outside the camp and dried them; they have a unique charm.

Two small paintings hung on the wall, framed in homemade frames.

It wasn't painted, showing the original grain of the wood.

The afternoon sun slanted in on a winter afternoon, filling the room with a warm glow.

Everywhere you look, there are traces of careful thought, yet it's understated.

Just stay properly and quietly where you belong.

This gives the small room a clean, fluffy, and warm feel.

Lu Weihua walked around the room.

"Tsk tsk tsk... Second sister-in-law, your aesthetic sense is the most comfortable and beautiful I've ever seen."

Lu Weihua used the word "aesthetics" accurately.

The things inside the house weren't anything special; they were just ordinary objects.

But after Ye Wenxi arranged and matched the room, this ordinary apartment in the family compound exuded a style far beyond this era.

It avoids the gaudy and vulgar use of bright red and green.

Simple bedding, minimalist furniture, and just the right amount of embellishment.

The whole house looks clean, spacious, and stylish.

"Wei Hua, your bed is here."

Ye Wenxi pointed to the single bed that had been set up in the study.

She deliberately placed the bed in the best-lit corner, covered it with light-colored checkered sheets, and made it look clean and comfortable.

"Okay, Second Sister-in-law!" Lu Weihua replied with a grin.

"But my brother isn't home tonight, so can I sleep with you?"

"Sure," Ye Wenxi said with a smile, patting her shoulder. "We can have a chat tonight."

Suddenly, the phone in the living room rang.

Ye Wenxi paused, turning to look at the incessantly ringing phone.

She gets a little scared when she hears the phone ring now.

What would Director Li do if this happened?

Seeing her standing still, Lu Weihua asked in confusion, "Why aren't you answering?"

"Hmm." Ye Wenxi had no choice but to bite the bullet and pick up the receiver.

Hello.

"Hello, hello! Comrade Ye, I am Li Yuejin."

Ye Wenxi: "..."

She raised her hand and rubbed her temples.

"Hello, Factory Director Li. I was just about to leave. Is there something urgent?"

"It's nothing urgent, I just wanted to let you know," Li Yuejin said with a smile in his voice.

"I've had the finance department transfer the payment for this batch of designs to you. It's five hundred yuan in total. Check with the credit union when you have time."

Ye Wenxi was taken aback.

Five hundred? That's more than last time.

She roughly understood what was going on, but dared not say more.

They were afraid that Li Yuejin would bring up the "advisor position" again.

"Really? Thank you so much, Director Li."

"Alright, that's all. Go ahead and get busy!"

This time, Li Yuejin hung up the hook decisively and cleanly.

Ye Wenxi breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help feeling overjoyed.

Five hundred yuan! Her start-up capital had increased considerably.

You can try more fabrics and more complex designs.

She turned around, rummaged through the cabinet to find the bankbook, and took out the long cotton coat that had just been made, waving it at Lu Weihua.

Come on! Give it a try.

Lu Weihua's eyes lit up the moment he saw the new clothes.

"What is this...?" She was a little confused; she had never seen this style of cotton-padded jacket before.

The collar stood up high, but it wasn't stiff and constricting around the neck.

Instead, it wraps around her neck smoothly, making her neck appear longer.

The waistline is cleverly tapered, while the hem flares out slightly.

It doesn't look like a bulky cotton-padded coat; it looks more like a thick and warm dress.

Can cotton-padded jackets be made like this?

"Try it quickly." Ye Wenxi shook out the clothes and gestured to her body.

"I just think it would suit you."

Lu Weihua's height and build are similar to hers.

After putting it on, Lu Weihua twirled around.

"Does it look good, Second Sister-in-law?"

"Not bad!" Ye Wenxi's eyes crinkled as she nodded.

Wearing this outfit, the younger sister-in-law actually stood out even more than Ding Jiahe.

Lu Weihua is beautiful, with delicate features and a good figure.

The Lu family is able to produce a "modeling monster" like Lu Weidong, so their genes must be good; there isn't a single ugly person in the whole family.

"Where's the mirror?" Lu Weihua looked around.

"Uh...in the bathroom."

Lu Weihua ran inside with a "thump thump thump".

The door opened with a "whoosh!"

"My God! Why did you two get such a huge bathtub?"

"Uh... your second brother is tall, he can't stretch his legs out when sitting in a regular bathtub," Ye Wenxi explained.

Lu Weihua peeked halfway out from the doorway.

"No need to explain, I understand!" Lu Weihua said, raising his eyebrows twice.

"You should look in the mirror right away," Ye Wenxi urged, her ears burning slightly.

"oh!"

Lu Weihua stood in front of the mirror, his mouth slightly open, unable to speak for a moment.

She turned to the left and right, looking at herself in the mirror from all angles.

"My God!"

"Second sister-in-law, did you really make this?"

She peeked out from the door frame again, her eyes wide open.

Unlike Ding Jiahe, Lu Weihua didn't know anything about fashion or style.

When Ye Wenxi first took out the dress, she thought it looked a little strange.

Why is the cotton-padded jacket like this?

But once you put on these clothes, it's like you've been enchanted.

It instantly elevates a person's demeanor.

It's so captivating that you can't take your eyes off it, and the more you look at it, the more pleasing it becomes, the more charming it is.

"Mm," Ye Wenxi replied with a smile.

"Really...really for me to wear?" Lu Weihua touched the fabric, still a little incredulous.

"Yes, it's for you."

Lu Weihua let out a roar and pounced over.

She gave Ye Wenxi a big bear hug: "Thank you, Second Sister-in-law!"

Once she let go, she started spinning and jumping around like a child, twisting and turning with joy.

"Let's go!" She grabbed Ye Wenxi's arm.

"I'm going to wear this to the cafeteria!"

"It's so dazzling it'll blind those soldiers!"

While twisting and humming

"My dear soldier brother..."

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

She suddenly understood why Lu Weidong hadn't let her come before.
