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

Ye Wenxi is wearing a white dress today.

The top features a shirt-style collared long-sleeved top, while the bottom is a knee-length A-line skirt, a classic and elegant design.

She wore flesh-colored stockings underneath.

Originally, Liu Xiuyun recommended that she wear a bright red wedding dress, but she really couldn't accept it, so she finally chose this one.

I thought that even after the wedding, it would be suitable for formal occasions or everyday wear.

The hairstyle wasn't too complicated or exaggerated.

Lu Weihua was skillful and styled her hair into a simple yet elegant updo, making her look dignified and gentle.

She only left a few strands of bangs on her forehead, which added a touch of gentleness.

Ye Wenxi also put on some light makeup.

It's been a long time since I've worn makeup. Looking at the face in the mirror, which is both familiar and somewhat unfamiliar, I feel a little dazed.

The original owner's appearance was seven or eight parts similar to hers, and now, with the help of makeup, the reflection in the mirror almost overlapped with her memory of herself.

Lu Wenhua stared at Ye Wenxi, who was all dressed up, his eyes practically sparkling.

"Second sister-in-law, you look so beautiful!"

"If you wore this to shoot a boyfriend photoshoot, you'd definitely turn heads!"

The two sisters-in-law have become much more familiar with each other these past few days and are speaking more freely.

Ye Wenxi laughed at her praise, a hint of pride and teasing in her voice: "That's why I've captivated your second brother too, hahaha!"

Lu Weihua shook his head and looked at her very seriously:

"No, that's not true, Second Sister-in-law!"

"You can charm my second brother because you're attractive. If I were a man, I'd like you too."

Ye Wenxi was so shocked by her sudden "heartfelt confession" that she opened her mouth wide.

"real!"

"To be honest, when I first met you, I thought you were just so-so. There were so many pretty girls who had pursued my second brother."

Lu Weihua wasn't afraid of Ye Wenxi getting jealous or angry; his eyes shone as he spoke.

Her eyes held pure admiration.

"But I've never seen a woman who could make my second brother stand next to her without looking so conspicuous."

"It's not that you outshone him, it's that you have your own light when you stand there. You make me feel that you deserve any good man in the world."

She got more and more excited as she spoke: "Especially what you said to Xu Miao that day!"

"My goodness, Second Sister-in-law, you should be a leader! You're so inspiring!"

"You have no idea, after Xu Miao heard what you said and watched you get in the car and leave, he was completely stunned. He stood at the door for a long time!"

Ye Wenxi was startled: "What? You saw it?"

Because the wedding was the next day, Lu Weihua happened to rush back from school that night.

When she got home, she saw a group of people gathered in front of Xu Miao's house, so she went over to them.

I was able to hear Ye Wenxi's impassioned speech clearly from beginning to end.

Self-respect, self-love, independence, and self-reliance.

Do not depend on others, do not beg for mercy.

Even decades later, these words are enough to give many women pause for thought.

For Lu Weihua, a young woman in that era and environment, it was like a resounding morning bell, bringing an unprecedented impact and emotion.

Once again, she looked at her newlywed sister-in-law with new respect.

A strong sense of agreement and admiration arose in my heart.

"I want to be a woman like my second sister-in-law."

"Yes! Women can yearn for love, but they must never lose themselves in it. Always put yourself first."

Ye Wenxi patted his chest and said with a smile:

"Learn from your second sister-in-law: we can endure the hardships of life, but we can't endure the hardships of love!"

At this moment, Lu Weihua looked at his second sister-in-law with curiosity, whom he was praising with an almost worshipful tone.

When a sister-in-law hears her sister-in-law praising her so much, she will usually wave her hand shyly and say, "Oh, don't praise me like that," or "It's not that good," or change the subject.

But what about Ye Wenxi?

She accepted the compliment so readily and generously.

This confidence, this composure, this natural inner strength...

She's such a different kind of woman.

Even though her early life was full of hardships and tribulations, it never diminished her deep-seated belief in and appreciation for herself.

She is like a pearl polished by sand and gravel; her inner radiance has not dimmed but has become even more lustrous and dazzling.

Lu Weihua believes that she will go far in the future and shine brightly in her own world.

Love, men, wealth.

These will only be the natural rewards she reaps as she steadfastly moves forward along the established path, and will never be the end or the entirety of her life.

In the end, only one thought remained clear in Lu Weihua's mind:

My second brother is incredibly lucky to have married her.

9:20 a.m. was an auspicious time that Liu Xiuyun had specially chosen.

Ye Wenxi, who was already dressed, heard a soft knock on the door.

She and Lu Weihua exchanged a glance; they had already discussed it.

Lu Weihua was temporarily made to act as "family member" and put on a good show of "blocking the door".

"Who's outside?" Lu Weihua cleared his throat and asked playfully.

"It's me, your second brother. Open the door quickly." Lu Weidong's voice came through the door.

"I'm sorry," Lu Weihua said, suppressing a laugh.

"I'm the 'family member' guarding the gate today. If you don't satisfy me, the gate won't open."

Lu Weidong, standing outside the door, was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and guessed that it must have been Ye Wenxi's idea.

"Then tell me, what would constitute satisfaction?"

"I have a few questions for you," Lu Weihua said seriously, "Who will cook after we get married?"

"I'll do it!" Lu Weidong answered without hesitation.

"Who washes the dishes? Who cleans the room?"

"It was all me!" The voice was loud and clear, full of confidence.

Ye Wenxi, who was inside the room, couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh so hard that her shoulders shook.

It must have been tough on Lu Weidong, especially considering he was a soldier in this era, to be able to "yield" so readily and decisively.

"What if I make my wife angry in the future?"

This is a "death question and answer," and the standard answer should be: "You can't make your wife angry."

Ye Wenxi thought to himself, "Lu Weidong is so straightforward, he definitely won't be able to see through this."

There was a moment of silence outside the door; it was unclear whether they were discussing it with the "groomsmen".

As a result, she heard Lu Weidong's extremely solemn, word-by-word reply:

"I will never do anything to make Ye Wenxi angry or sad. I will only cherish and love Ye Wenxi for the rest of my life!"

Bang-!

Ye Wenxi felt as if his heart had been struck solidly by a straightforward, unadorned punch.

She subconsciously turned her head to look at the bright sunshine outside the window, but her ears quietly turned red.

Lu Weihua winked at Ye Wenxi, his eyes asking: Sister-in-law, will you let him go?

Ye Wenxi nodded gently with a faint, gentle smile on her face.

"Alright! You pass. Come in!" Lu Weihua opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, Lu Weidong squeezed in almost immediately.

He raised his head, and his gaze immediately locked onto Ye Wenxi, who was sitting upright on the edge of the bed.

She sat there quietly, bathed in the soft morning light, her white skirt spreading gently, which accentuated her serene and beautiful demeanor.

Lu Weidong's breath hitched slightly.

He had never thought before that a woman could be so moving.

No, not all women.

Only Ye Wenxi could make him feel that a woman could be so beautiful, so beautiful that it made his heart flutter.

Ye Wenxi also looked up at him, her smile deepening, and a glimmer of light in her eyes.

"Wait! There's a second challenge!" Lu Weihua quickly jumped out and spread his arms to block the bed.

"Find the bride's shoes! Only by finding the shoes can we take the bride away!" She crossed her arms, looking on with amusement.

The older brother, Lu Weiguo, looked at his younger sister with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

"Hey Weihua, you can make a scene all you want, but don't forget your surname is Lu. Today is our family's wedding day."

Lu Weihua raised her head and made a "stop" gesture to Lu Weiguo.

"Excuse me, I've changed my surname to Ye! I'm now representing my maternal family!"

Lu Weidong looked at Ye Wenxi, who was smiling on the bed, and then at his sister, who was blocking his way with her hands on her hips.

A wicked smile, tinged with a roguish charm, suddenly appeared on his handsome face.

He spoke slowly, a hint of amusement in his voice: "Who says I can't take someone away without shoes?"

Ye Wenxi: "..."

Lu Weihua: "Huh?"

Oh no! She almost forgot about her second brother's incredible strength.
