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

Lu Weidong looked at the girl in front of him.

The dark gray coat looked like it was made for her, accentuating her tall figure and serene demeanor.

His gaze deepened until Ye Wenxi met his fixed eyes.

He quickly turned his head away and said to the sales clerk, "This is the one, please issue the invoice."

When the two came out of the department store, their hands were full of bags and packages.

The department store was packed with people on the weekend, and the bus stop at the entrance was also crowded.

After finally managing to squeeze onto a train, the carriage was packed with people, and the air was stuffy.

The two people who were originally standing side by side were squeezed together by the surging crowd.

Ye Wenxi was squeezed so tightly that she could barely move. She held the heavy net bag in one hand and used the other hand to barely support herself on the glass window in front of her.

Lu Weidong stood behind her, trying his best to create some space for her with his body, but their chests and backs were still inevitably pressed tightly together.

The bus swayed and bumped along, and with each start and stop, the two people's bodies rubbed slightly against each other due to inertia.

Ye Wenxi had a petite figure, especially her full hips, which unconsciously brushed against Lu Weidong's taut thighs again and again during the bumpy ride.

Lu Weidong could clearly feel the soft touch through the fabric, and he began to feel hot uncontrollably.

Just then, the bus braked suddenly!

"Ah!" Ye Wenxi exclaimed in surprise, falling backward.

His hands instinctively reached behind him, grabbing at something to steady himself.

In her panic, she flailed her hand wildly backward.

They caught them red-handed...

"Ugh..." Lu Weidong groaned, his muscles tensing instantly, shuddering violently as if struck by an electric current.

His body's instincts beat his thoughts; he suddenly tightened his arms, pulling Ye Wenxi, who was about to fall, into his embrace to protect her.

Ye Wenxi shuddered as if burned, and abruptly broke free from his embrace, her cheeks instantly turning bright red.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

At the other end of the carriage, a little girl held in her mother's arms blinked her innocent eyes and pointed in their direction.

"Mom, look at that aunt and uncle, their faces are so red, are they sick?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Wenxi's face turned even redder, and her mind went blank.

Ye Wenxi composed herself and secretly glanced at Lu Weidong.

This dignified battalion commander had his head bowed low, his face flushed red as if it were about to bleed.

His entire face was filled with an unspeakable embarrassment, and he didn't dare to meet her gaze at all.

After finally reaching their stop, the two practically fled, squeezing off the bus one after the other.

When I entered my home in the family compound, Aunt Sun had already set out lunch.

Lu Weidong put down the bags he was carrying in the corner, not even catching his breath.

"I'll go and get the necessary documents for you."

After saying that, he hurriedly walked towards the door, his steps frantic.

"Hey? Weidong!" Liu Xiuyun had just come out of the kitchen when she saw his posture and hurriedly called out.

"The food is ready, eat first before you go!"

But Lu Weidong seemed not to hear him, and without stopping, he left the door as if fleeing in panic.

The door slammed shut with a soft "bang," and the person had vanished.

Liu Xiuyun looked at the empty doorway and shook her head helplessly: "What's wrong with this child?"

At the lunch table today, there were only a few female comrades: Liu Xiuyun, her sister-in-law Li Shufen, and her sister-in-law Lu Weihua.

Lu Weihua took a bite of rice and asked curiously, "Mom, where did Xiaojun go?"

"I went out with Gangzi from Lao Xu's family early this morning," Liu Xiuyun said, placing a piece of braised pork on Ye Wenxi's plate.

"Wenxi, don't worry about them, eat your food. The meat is stewed until it's very tender, eat more of it."

"Thank you, Auntie."

As soon as Ye Wenxi thanked her, Li Shufen, who was standing next to her, also enthusiastically put a piece of green vegetable into her bowl.

"Wenxi, try this. Aunt Sun's stir-fried vegetables are very tender."

"Yes, thank you, sister-in-law."

Ye Wenxi smiled and agreed, then lowered her head to pick at the rice in her bowl.

But she couldn't help but recall the embarrassing scene on the bus earlier, and her cheeks quietly warmed up again.

........

An old billiards hall facing the street.

The storefront was small, the signboard was peeling, and the interior was filled with smoke.

A few teenagers were gathered around a few old green billiard tables.

A few worn-out sofas were placed against the wall, and a radio was playing loud pop songs.

Inside the old billiard hall, Lu Xiaojun and Xu Zhigang were huddled in the innermost, worn-out sofa with peeling paint, two bottles of soda in front of them.

Lu Xiaojun took a big bite of the jianbing guozi he was holding and mumbled something indistinctly.

"My second uncle is really getting married this time. I advise your sister to give up on him as soon as possible."

Xu Zhigang scratched his hair in frustration: "I wish she would give up! You have no idea how distraught she was last night. She didn't get home until almost dawn this morning, and her eyes were swollen from crying..."

He leaned closer and lowered his voice: "She also wants me to find out about your second uncle and aunt."

Lu Xiaojun immediately gave him a wary look: "What's your sister up to?"

Xu Zhigang rolled his eyes: "What can she do? She's just not giving up."

Lu Xiaojun shook his head and clicked his tongue twice, unsure whether he was marveling at his second uncle's charm or worrying about the potential trouble his future second aunt might face.

"Just tell your sister directly that it's hopeless, there's absolutely no chance."

Lu Xiaojun stuffed the last bite of pancake into his mouth and patted the crumbs off his hands.

"The two of them are getting along very well! Although they haven't known each other for long, my second uncle protects my second aunt like she's his own eyeball."

Xu Zhigang caught the key phrase, his eyes filled with suspicion: "Haven't known each other long? Your second uncle can marry someone he's only known for a short time? Didn't he used to refuse to meet anyone, no matter who introduced him?"

Lu Xiaojun laughed when he heard this.

He leaned closer mysteriously, lowered his voice, and spoke with a hint of pride.

"You wouldn't understand, would you? Because my second uncle is a real man among men! A pure one!"

He imitated Lu Weidong's usual calm and somewhat unquestionable tone, put on a stern face, and spoke in a rough voice.

"Tell her this has nothing to do with her. I'll take responsibility."

Xu Zhigang was completely confused and shoved him, saying, "What are you babbling about, spouting nonsense?"

Lu Xiaojun was pushed and swayed for a moment. After regaining his balance, he gave him a disdainful look.

"You know nothing! You're as dense as a blockhead; you'll never find a wife!"

"Hey! Who are you calling someone who can't find a wife?"

Xu Zhigang refused to accept this and lunged at him, trying to strangle him.

Lu Xiaojun let out a strange cry and nimbly dodged, and the two immediately began chasing and fighting in the smoke-filled billiard hall.

.....

In the military family compound, the cursing from Staff Officer Xu's family had already resounded throughout the sky.

Xu Zhigang had just stepped into his home in the afternoon when he was so shocked by his father, Staff Officer Xu's, roar that his eardrums tightened.

"Are you dating someone or what? Acting like you're going to die in this house, have you no self-respect at all?!"

Xu Miao had been locked up inside the house for the entire day.

The door was locked from the inside, and no matter how much people shouted from outside, it wouldn't open. It neither ate nor communicated with anyone.

"Oh dear, don't be so harsh on her!" Xu's mother hurriedly grabbed Xu's arm and tried to persuade her.

"You know how that child feels about Lu Weidong, don't you?"

"Now that you've suddenly brought a wife home, she definitely won't be able to handle it. Just let her take a few days to adjust."

"Give us a few more days?" Staff Officer Xu was so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged.

"They'll all starve to death on a hunger strike in a few days! Let's see how you recover then!"

As they were arguing, Xu's mother caught sight of Xu Zhigang entering the room. As if grasping at a lifeline, she hurriedly pulled him over.

"Gangzi, quick! Go and talk to your sister, she'll definitely open the door for you."

Xu Zhigang was given a bowl of noodles by his mother and pushed to Xu Miao's door.

"Knock knock—" He knocked lightly on the door twice, but there was no response from inside.

"Sister, it's me."

A few seconds later, a series of dragging footsteps came from inside the room.

Immediately afterwards, the locked door was pulled open with a "click".

Xu Miao, pale-faced and with red and swollen eyes, appeared at the door.

The first thing I asked was, "Have you talked to Lu Xiaojun?"
