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

The slippery substance covered their legs and waists.

Even the floral print C-patterned dress was soaked through.

Ye Wenxi was drenched in sweat.

Lu Weidong spoke softly to Ye Wenxi, whose eyes were already closed.

"Want to take a shower?"

Ye Wenxi forced her eyes open a crack.

She gave him a strained glare.

With my whole body in this state, how could I not wash it?

"Then wait for me, I'll go boil some water..."

A moment later, the two tiptoed into the bathtub.

Ye Wenxi didn't dare to delay any longer. After washing herself clean, she quickly came out and got dressed.

The sheets have been changed.

Then they threw the dirty one into the washing tub.

I plan to take a shower first thing tomorrow morning.

......

Lu Weidong got up early and went to do morning exercises.

Not long after, Ye Wenxi also struggled to get up.

She had just pushed open the bedroom door when she heard movement from the door of the study across the way.

Lu Weihua walked out with messy hair and a big yawn.

"Second sister-in-law, aren't you tired?"

"Huh? Tired? Not tired at all."

Ye Wenxi answered subconsciously, only realizing her mistake after she finished speaking, and her ears burned.

Lu Weihua yawned again.

He looked at her with his eyes crinkling into crescents, and the meaning in his gaze couldn't be clearer.

Ye Wenxi broke out in a sweat from her gaze.

He cursed inwardly: How come this brat is even more lewd than I was back in modern times...

She avoided Lu Weihua's gaze.

He thought to himself: This shouldn't be happening...

They had kept their voices down, and the two of them had been very careful, without making any noise.

Did this girl eavesdrop through the crack in the door?

Actually, it was last night when Lu Weihua got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.

I saw a washing machine tub with the lid off.

There are still large patches of wet water stains on it.

Lu Weihua instantly understood...

Under what circumstances would you change your bed sheets in the middle of the night?

It's so hard to guess...(⑉･̆-･̆⑉)

Ye Wenxi was still trying to figure out where he had slipped up.

She walked into the bathroom and immediately saw the washing machine with its lid open.

And that wad of sheets inside.

A dark water stain on it is not completely dry yet, and its shape is obvious.

Her eye twitched.

That brat 'silver merchant' is really something else.

After the sheets were washed, Ye Wenxi took out the spun-dry sheets.

I'm going to take them to the yard to dry.

Lu Weihua followed him out.

"Second sister-in-law, let me help you hang it up," Lu Weihua said, but a smile was being suppressed at the corners of her mouth.

"Can you please stop laughing?" Ye Wenxi said, both amused and annoyed, giving her a light glare.

"puff--"

Lu Weihua seemed to have been switched on, and started laughing out loud on the spot.

"No, no, no, second sister-in-law, I wasn't laughing at the bed sheets."

Lu Weihua waved his hand: "I was laughing at your blushing. Look at your face, it'll be almost cooked in a minute."

"I'm blushing because of you!" Ye Wenxi pretended to pinch her again.

"The way you look at me first thing in the morning. I hate it!"

The two sisters-in-law are now even willing to make jokes like this.

Their intimacy was unlike that of sisters-in-law who had only known each other for a few months and were separated by a generation.

They're more like two best friends who live and eat together in a university dormitory and talk about everything.

Lu Weihua himself couldn't explain why.

She really liked this second sister-in-law.

When they were together, Ye Wenxi was not at all the reserved or timid girl she had imagined.

They were poised and graceful in their speech and manners, and occasionally they would even watch the passing soldiers and quietly discuss some "colorful topics".

That sense of distance is infinitely shortened in these small, everyday moments.

And no matter what she brings up.

The troubles of interpersonal relationships, the fun things at school, and even the vague sense of uncertainty about the future.

Second Sister-in-law always manages to catch the flowers.

His words were both insightful and practical, often enlightening her.

Lu Weihua felt that Ye Wenxi was like a treasure.

Their family is so lucky to have found this treasure.

Ye Wenxi straightened the bed sheet and said to Lu Weihua:

"Weihua, a few of my sisters-in-law will be coming over in a little while to discuss the garment company with me."

"It's alright, Second Sister-in-law, don't worry about me."

"Just lend me your bicycle keys, I'll ride it out to see the soldiers."

Ye Wenxi smiled and rolled her eyes at her: "Okay~"

She beckoned Lu Weihua to come closer.

Lu Weihua obediently put his ear closer.

Ye Wenxi lowered her voice: "I'll recommend a few places to you..."

Lu Weihua turned his head, his eyes wide open, and stared at his second sister-in-law.

The two of them looked at each other.

In the end, they couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle.

.......

The propaganda department office in the military headquarters building.

There was a knock on the door.

Lu Weidong pushed open the door and walked in, his military uniform crisp and his shoulders straight.

"Section Chief Wei, you wanted to see me?"

"Wei Dong, come, have a seat."

Wei Changzheng stood up from behind his desk and gestured for him to sit down.

"There's something I'd like to discuss with you."

He adjusted his glasses and carefully chose his words: "It's about your family member, Comrade Ye Wenxi."

Lu Weidong frowned slightly.

Why would the publicity department approach Wenxi?

"Wei Dong, we have learned that Comrade Ye Wenxi is very talented and capable in design."

"The organization is wondering if we could invite her to come and exchange ideas with our colleagues in the propaganda department, and share her experiences?"

Lu Weidong didn't reply immediately, but looked at the other person calmly:

"Section Chief Wei, how did you find out about this?"

Lu Weidong asked very directly.

Wei Changzheng paused for a moment, then didn't beat around the bush:

"That's how it is..."

He recounted in detail the phone call he received from Director Li of the First Food Factory.

Lu Weidong felt somewhat displeased after hearing this.

He knew Ye Wenxi didn't want to get involved in these matters.

I never expected the other party to go through such a roundabout way, and even use organizational connections to exert pressure.

"Section Chief Wei, I'm sorry, but I can't make the decision for my wife in this matter."

"This is her personal choice. If it's just about communication, I suggest you talk to her directly."

He paused, then looked at Wei Changzheng:

"But if the goal is to mobilize and persuade her to accept a certain position..."

Lu Weidong shook his head: "I'm sorry, I choose to respect my lover's wishes."

Wei Changzheng was a little embarrassed. He picked up the pen on the table and twirled it in his hand twice.

This Lu Weidong truly lives up to his reputation as a tough nut to crack.

They're so blunt in their words and actions, never beating around the bush.

It seems there's no chance of getting Ye Wenxi to cooperate through him.

No wonder this couple got along so well.

Each one has a more righteous idea than the last.

But "assigning positions" is ultimately a matter for local government departments.

Wei Changzheng, as a member of the military, has now made some efforts.

It's not good to interfere too much.

Ever since he heard from Li Yuejin that Ye Wenxi's few design drafts could increase sales by more than ten times.

This shows that this person does indeed possess abilities that none of them have.

In previous years, the promotional designs and event posters I created have been frequently criticized by my superiors.

They said it was "not novel enough" and "lacking in visual impact".

"It looks alright, but it doesn't leave a lasting impression."

To put it bluntly, it lacks something that catches the eye and leaves a lasting impression.

This really gave Wei Changzheng a headache.

Currently, Su Ran and a few staff members are mainly in charge of this area at Corey.

Su Ran's skill level is decent, but only "decent".

We are still far from reaching that level.

Now I hear there's such a "miracle person" right under my nose.

Wei Changzheng's desire was no less than Li Yuejin's.

Since Lu Weidong's approach is blocked, we have to find another way.

Since we have the advantage of being close to the water, we must not damage our relationship with "Mingyue".

"Okay, okay, of course we must respect Comrade Ye's personal wishes."

"Then let's find an opportunity to talk to Comrade Ye directly."

"Okay," Lu Weidong stood up, "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

After seeing Lu Weidong off, Wei Changzheng dialed the extension number of the office where the other staff members of the propaganda department were sitting.

"Hey? Su Ran, call Xiao Li and Xiao Chen to my office."

"Let's talk about that design exchange."

"Yes...we've found that person."
