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

Actually, there wasn't any intense "competition between females" in the original work.

Xu Miao simply appeared at the Lu family home more frequently, using their family friendship as a pretext to exchange a few words with Lu Weidong.

Show a relationship that is slightly more "familiar and natural" than others.

This level of "familiarity" was enough to completely ignite the sensitive and suspicious original owner, sparking endless doubts and arguments.

Ye Wenxi judged that the situation would be worse because she "knew" Xu Miao's background.

This girl's obsession with Lu Weidong has reached a point of near madness.

It cannot be dispelled by a little rejection and alienation in reality.

It was a kind of obsessive devotion akin to sacrifice, reaching the point where "entering the gates of a noble family is like entering a deep sea; I am willing to draw a line on the ground to serve the noble family for life."

They had long since thrown their self-respect and self-love to the winds.

But I can't leave anytime soon.

This is trouble, this is really big trouble.

Ye Wenxi felt completely overwhelmed, and the coat she was wearing seemed to have become quite hot.

As Ye Wenxi walked, she sighed inwardly, silently hoping that Xu Miao would behave himself.

If she wants to cause trouble, then Ye Wenxi won't be polite.

The two walked one after the other, with Lu Weidong's attention clearly focused on the person behind him.

Completely unaware that Xu Miao was standing in the shadows of the roadside lamplight, she simply walked right past her.

Ye Wenxi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this awkward "encounter" could be silently over.

Just then, from behind them, a trembling voice, seemingly filled with heartbreak, drifted out:

"Brother Weidong..."

Lu Weidong stopped and turned around when he heard the sound.

The streetlights were dim, and he squinted, not immediately recognizing the person standing in the shadows.

"Brother Weidong..." the voice called out again, with a more pronounced sob and expectation.

Only then, with the help of the dim light, did Lu Weidong see who it was.

"Xu Miao?"

Upon hearing him call her name accurately, Xu Miao's face instantly lit up with a joyful smile, and she took half a step forward.

"Brother Weidong, you didn't leave?" Xu Miao tried to keep her voice calm, but couldn't hide the slight tremor in it.

"I thought you went back to the army."

Lu Weidong stopped and replied simply, "I won't be going back for now; I'll be staying a few more days."

Xu Miao's gaze finally shifted to the figure beside him, the one wrapped in his coat.

Her lips moved, and she asked the question that made her heart tighten.

"Who is this...?"

Ye Wenxi wished she could turn her back at this moment, her toes already digging out a Barbie dream mansion from inside her shoe.

Here it comes, this classic, cheesy line is late but it's here!

"This is my fiancée, Ye Wenxi."

Lu Weidong's answer was clear and steady, without any hesitation or embellishment.

it is good!

Straight ball——!

Click!

Ye Wenxi heard that voice again, this time with a slight echo.

Xu Miao's face drained of all color instantly, even her lips turned white.

She stared blankly at Ye Wenxi, her eyes vacant.

It seems that I can't understand the meaning of the words "fiancée" for the time being.

Ye Wenxi felt uncomfortable under her gaze and was too embarrassed to look the girl in the eye.

Embarrassment made her throat dry, and she couldn't help but cough softly.

However, to Lu Weidong, the cough sounded like an urging.

To Xu Miao, it sounded more like the impatience of a victor.

Lu Weidong immediately replied, "We have other things to do, so we'll be leaving now. Goodbye."

As he spoke, he placed his large hand on Ye Wenxi's shoulder, almost pushing and pulling her along as they continued walking.

Ye Wenxi subconsciously shrugged, trying to push away his large, imposing hand.

But that hand seemed welded to her shoulder; it was warm and strong, and no matter how hard she tried to resist, it wouldn't budge.

The two of them left the area hastily in a slightly awkward yet intimate manner.

Xu Miao was left standing alone, shattered by the wind...

As they approached Lu Weidong's house, Ye Wenxi stopped, took off her coat, and handed it back to him.

She insisted, and Lu Weidong did not refuse again, taking the coat and putting it back on.

Before pushing open the door, he called out to those inside.

"Dad, Mom, we're back."

The faint sounds of conversation in the room fell silent for a moment, followed by the sound of chairs being moved.

Several people stood up and walked towards the door.

The door was pushed open by Lu Weidong.

Ye Wenxi's unease resurfaced.

She looked up and saw Mr. and Mrs. Lu standing at the front.

Lu Xiaojun squeezed to one side, peering curiously, while Aunt Sun stood a little behind with a smile.

I haven't seen anyone else yet.

She didn't rush in, but stood at the doorway.

He bowed slightly in the direction of Lu's parents, performing a respectful but not exaggerated gesture.

When she looked up, a sweet and generous smile had already blossomed on her face, and her voice was clear and bright:

"Uncle, Aunt, hello."

"Okay, come in quickly, let's talk."

Lu Zhenghua spoke first, his tone more peaceful than expected, and stepped aside to make way for him to enter.

Lu Weidong naturally reached out and lightly placed his hand on Ye Wenxi's lower back.

A subtle yet protective gesture guided her inside.

Ye Wenxi's body stiffened almost imperceptibly, and he thought to himself.

Why is this person making so many little tricks?

In fact, Lu Weidong keenly noticed her tension. He knew that although she seemed calm at the moment, she must be feeling quite uneasy inside.

He just wanted to use this method to give her as much support and reassurance as possible.

After Ye Wenxi entered the house, he exchanged a few brief pleasantries with the people inside.

It's nothing more than the safest and most polite questions like "Are you cold on the way?" or "Are you tired from the car ride?"

Throughout the entire process, apart from Liu Xiuyun's smile and enthusiasm appearing slightly unnatural, there was nothing that embarrassed Ye Wenxi.

It seems that the family had reached some kind of tacit agreement beforehand.

No one dared to ask her where she came from, her background, or awkward questions like "how did you meet her?"

Everyone tacitly avoided the minefield.

Not long after, there was a noise at the door, and the three of them returned together.

It is Lu Weiguo.

He went directly from his workplace to the school to pick up his wife, Li Shufen, and also gave his younger sister, Lu Weihua, a ride along the way.

Upon seeing this, Ye Wenxi immediately stood up politely to greet him with a smile.

"Big brother, sister-in-law, little sister."

Everyone treated her like an important, but not particularly familiar, guest.

No, it was even more enthusiastic and considerate, with a deliberate maintenance of decorum and acceptance.

This made Ye Wenxi secretly sigh, no wonder it was the family that raised Lu Weidong.

As long as you don't deliberately cause trouble, the chaotic scene you've been expecting probably won't happen.

The atmosphere at dinner was relatively peaceful.

Liu Xiuyun held back for a long time and didn't say much, but kept putting food on everyone's plates.

It wasn't until the latter half of the meal that she seemed unable to hold it in any longer.

He put down his chopsticks, put on a smile, looked at Ye Wenxi, and spoke carefully:

"Um... Wenxi," she paused, "you're still young, what are your plans for the future?"

Before she could finish speaking, Lu Zhenghua gently kicked her from under the table.

Liu Xiuyun paused, her smile froze, and she didn't continue speaking.

He then picked up the serving chopsticks and put a piece of spare rib on Ye Wenxi's plate.

"Come on, eat more, you're so thin."
