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

Chapter 69 There's something your sister-in-law wants to remind you of.

"Hello, Comrade Ye, my name is Ding Jiahe."

Ding Jiahe stretched out her hand in front of Ye Wenxi.

Ye Wenxi felt as if all the blood in her body had suddenly frozen.

The scenes in the novel that depict Lu Weidong and Ding Jiahe.

Suddenly, real faces came into view.

Their meeting, their story...

Ye Wenxi still had a smile on her face.

He mechanically reached out and shook hands.

Although I knew I would see her sooner or later.

But now that moment has truly arrived.

The turmoil in my heart was beyond my expectations.

"Wenxi".

Lu Weidong's voice came from behind.

The smile on Ding Jiahe's face vanished the moment she saw Lu Weidong.

She stood up and nodded to Ye Wenxi:

"Comrade Ye, thank you for today."

"I'll return you a new handkerchief another day."

"I'll be going now!"

Ye Wenxi: "Okay, goodbye."

Then, before Lu Weidong could get close, he got up and left the cafeteria.

Lu Weidong was a little surprised to see Ye Wenxi and Ding Jiahe sitting together talking.

"Why are you two together?" he asked casually.

"What? Is it not allowed?" Ye Wenxi's tone was a bit sharp.

Lu Weidong was momentarily speechless.

He sat down next to Ye Wenxi, took her hand, and spoke softly:

"What's wrong? Are you upset because you've been waiting too long?"

"What do you want to eat? I'll go get it."

Ye Wenxi pulled her hand away and said in a muffled voice:

"casual..."

When Lu Weidong returned with the food, the atmosphere between the two was a bit tense.

Ye Wenxi slowly put the food into her mouth.

They appear to be eating, but hardly any rice has been consumed.

Lu Weidong frowned.

She was fine this morning, what happened?

He recalled the look Ding Jiahe had given him earlier.

My mind involuntarily drifted towards her.

Did Ding Jiahe say something unpleasant that angered Wenxi?

Ye Wenxi looked up at Lu Weidong.

He sat a little stiffly, clearly worried, but unsure how to bring it up.

He was never good at comforting people, and now he seemed even more at a loss.

I was in a good mood during lunch.

She also wanted to talk to him about the gift box.

Thinking of this.

She remembered that the gift box was still in the bicycle basket.

She was worried about losing it, so she said to Lu Weidong:

"Could you help me get my things? I put them in the bicycle basket on the side."

Lu Weidong quickly got up to get it.

Then, he was seen running happily in from the cafeteria entrance.

He was holding the gift box in his hand.

His face was full of excitement.

"Wenxi! This...this isn't your drawing?"

Ye Wenxi saw that he was such a cold person.

At this moment, I am just as happy as a child who has received a new toy.

A smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

When Lu Weidong saw that smiling face, it was as if he had received a pardon.

Some spoke up cheerfully:

"By the way, have you sent out your artwork?"

"Mm." Ye Wenxi nodded gently.

"I have a day off tomorrow. Didn't you want to go to the market? I'll drive you there."

"I heard there's lots of delicious food at the market, let's buy more."

"When we get back, let's go to the department store again and I'll buy you another set of watercolors or colored pencils."

"I see you're almost out of some colors."

Lu Weidong rattled off a whole bunch of things in one breath.

For him, this was already a rare long speech.

Ye Wenxi could sense that he was clumsily and trying his best to coax her.

In this timeline, Lu Weidong is not actually wrong.

His relationship with Ding Jiahe.

It seems that not only have they not grown closer, but they also appear to be somewhat hostile.

Besides, he loves himself so much.

She shouldn't have treated him like that.

Ye Wenxi looked up at him.

Lu Weidong was looking at her.

That rugged and handsome face.

His eyes were full of careful concern and tenderness.

Ye Wenxi sighed softly.

She nodded and responded with a faint smile.

After the meal, Ye Wenxi rode his bicycle as originally agreed.

Go pick up Zhang Yunxia and bring her to your house so you can take apart the clothes together.

Ye Wenxi brewed a pot of tea.

He poured a glass for Zhang Yunxia and himself.

"Sister-in-law, let me tell you my thoughts."

Ye Wenxi unfolded the sketch and pointed to the design on it:

"This is a long cotton-padded coat with a high collar and a fitted waist."

"Make the hem a little wider, so it looks like a thick skirt and won't feel tight when you walk."

"I added a drawstring at the waist, so you can just pull it when you want to cinch your waist."

"The outer layer is made of a kind of silk fabric with a subtle pattern and checkered stitching. The inner layer is made of pure black cotton cloth from the village, which is comfortable to wear next to the skin."

There was also a drawing of the upper body effect next to it.

Zhang Yunxia leaned closer to take a look, and her eyes lit up:

"This is so beautiful! How could I have thought of that!"

Ye Wenxi said with a smile:

"The problem is that there aren't many patterns of fabric available right now. If there were more types of fabric to choose from, the finished product would definitely be more eye-catching."

"I've also prepared cotton; it would be even better if I had duck down."

"That way it's lightweight and keeps you warm."

"But that's okay, we'll make a few samples first."

"Sister-in-law, do you see any problems with this picture?"

Zhang Yunxia looked at the blueprints and shook her head.

"No, each of these is a piece of fabric, and the dimensions are clearly marked."

"I can understand it!"

Ye Wenxi laughed and said, "That's great, let's divide the work."

"You can take the fabric home and work on it at your own pace."

Zhang Yunxia nodded: "Yes, yes, that's exactly what I meant!"

The two divided the design work among the dozens of fabric pieces.

Most of them were taken away by Zhang Yunxia.

She said Ye Wenxi needed to prepare for her exams and asked her to have more time to study.

If she has any free time, she'll draw some more design sketches.

Zhang Yunxia was gathering the fabrics and design drawings.

While tidying up, he kept glancing at Ye Wenxi.

There seemed to be something stuck in my throat, and I didn't know whether I should say it or not.

"Um... Xiao Ye."

Ye Wenxi looked up and saw Zhang Yunxia looking hesitant.

"What's wrong, sister-in-law?"

"Wei Dong...did he tell you about that?"

Zhang Yunxia was a little embarrassed to say it.

After all, it's a matter between the two of them.

Although it was handled by Chen Yuanchuan.

But she, an outsider, asked directly.

It made it seem like Old Chen was being nosy with her at home.

"Actually, I kept asking Lao Chen about it," Zhang Yunxia explained.

"I'm a little...worried."

"Are you referring to the Su sisters' matter, sister-in-law?" Ye Wenxi asked.

"right."

"Yes, Wei Dong told me the organization's initial handling opinion."

"They also said they didn't want to issue a public apology."

I've been in contact with Zhang Yunxia for the past few days.

Ye Wenxi discovered that although this sister-in-law was straightforward and outspoken.

But he is genuinely warm-hearted and honest, a reliable person.

They didn't hold grudges, didn't cause trouble, and even helped them a lot.

Ye Wenxi naturally wouldn't mind that she knew these things.

"Yes!" Zhang Yunxia said.

"Actually, I guessed that you two wouldn't compromise."

"Xiao Ye, you're different from the other family members."

"No, you are different from many women."

"To be honest, if I were in that situation, I probably would have agreed myself."

"But I don't know why, I just knew you wouldn't back down!"

After saying this, Zhang Yunxia burst into laughter.

"That's why I like you two, young couple."

"There's something your sister-in-law wants to remind you of."

"Yes, sister-in-law, you go ahead."

Zhang Yunxia told Ye Wenxi that there were far too many people trying to curry favor with the Su family.

Apart from those who admire Su Ran.

There are also quite a few people in the family compound who are very close to her.

Moreover, Su Ran is usually very generous; she basically gives away everything the military issues to her.

She didn't keep any for herself.

She distributed them all.

This earned her a very good reputation in the military.

Historically, if a dispute occurred in the family compound, a public apology would be made in the family compound.

Find a public place with a relatively large number of people to conduct the activity.

"I'm just worried about this place, these people..."

"What if someone else gets involved and interferes..."

"Yes! Thank you, sister-in-law, I understand."

In fact, Ye Wenxi had already thought of this.

A person who values his public image and reputation so much.

How can we compromise so easily?

How could you do this? You should humble yourself and issue a public apology.

If they don't do something underhanded.

Ye Wenxi, on the contrary, felt that something was wrong.

"Sister-in-law... there's something I'd like to ask you for help with."

Ye Wenxi whispered a lot of things to Zhang Yunxia.
