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

"Second Aunt!" the boy called out again out of the blue.

Ye Wenxi gripped the doorknob, her face expressionless.

"Sorry, you've got the wrong person." He said, and started to close the door.

"Hey, hey, hey... don't turn it off!"

The boy quickly stuck his foot into the door crack and said urgently.

"I didn't come to the wrong place! Do you know Lu Weidong? That's my second uncle! He's the one who sent me to find you!"

Ye Wenxi paused, looking him over.

"What is it?"

"Let the advanced people say it, let the advanced people say it!"

The boy nimbly sidestepped and squeezed through the crack in the door.

Ye Wenxi closed the door and leaned against the wall: "Why did your second uncle let you come over?"

Lu Xiaojun didn't stand on ceremony and found a stool to sit down.

It started when I saw them from the entrance of the compound.

She recounted the whole story, from going home to "report the news," to guessing the truth, to being sent by her second uncle.

When Ye Wenxi heard the boy excitedly announcing the good news to the old lady as soon as he got home, she felt a little uneasy.

When she heard him accurately guess that "the rice has been cooked" in just one sentence, she was speechless.

Is this kid... a shrewd one?

"My second uncle didn't actually tell me the specifics of what happened," Lu Xiaojun scratched his head, "but he asked me to pass on a message to you."

"What did you say?"

Lu Xiaojun imitated Lu Weidong's calm tone, and he actually sounded quite convincing.

He said, "This has nothing to do with you; all the responsibility lies with him."

Upon hearing this, Ye Wenxi's pupils contracted slightly.

She certainly understood what he meant.

Lu Weidong wanted to completely cover up the "drug administration" incident and take all the blame upon himself.

There are quite a few "male lead roles" in novels and TV dramas.

The fact that someone would risk ruining their own future and reputation to protect her still gave her a jolt.

A thought immediately popped into my head: Is he crazy?

Ye Wenxi felt a little dazed, even a little unreal.

Before she transmigrated, in that fast-paced society, she believed that "making money is worse than getting involved with men."

Believe that you are the only one who can rely on yourself.

It is precisely because I have seen so many unreliable people that I feel that "reliance" itself is unnecessary.

But now, a living, breathing person like Lu Weidong has appeared before her.

It felt like I'd been lightly bumped somewhere inside my heart.

Just as that warm feeling was about to emerge.

Alarm bells rang in Ye Wenxi's mind, and he slammed on the brakes.

Don't get carried away.

Don't forget how the original owner died.

This could be the prelude to a plot-driven death.

Ye Wenxi took a deep breath, suppressing the turbulent emotions in her heart, and regained her composure.

I guess Lu Weidong has already come clean with his parents by now.

He sent this young man specifically to deliver a message so that she would have a clear understanding of the situation and that the two sides' accounts wouldn't contradict each other.

"Xiaojun, thank you for coming all this way to tell me this," Ye Wenxi said in a calm tone.

"Hey, we're all family now, no need to thank me!" Lu Xiaojun waved his hand, then couldn't suppress his curiosity again.

"Second Aunt, what do you do for a living?"

He looked at the person in front of him and felt that she had an indescribable energy about her.

She was unlike any other woman in the compound, or any woman he had ever met.

The woman who could make his arrogant second uncle so attentive is truly intriguing.

"Me?" Ye Wenxi smiled lightly. "I haven't done anything. I'm unemployed."

"Then where did you come from?" Lu Xiaojun pressed.

Ye Wenxi looked at him and suddenly felt like teasing him.

She smiled, her tone half-serious, half-joking: "I come from another world in the future."

Lu Xiaojun was taken aback, looking at her calm yet somewhat unfathomable expression as she spoke.

I thought to myself, "Whoa!"

No wonder.

No wonder his second uncle fell from grace.

"Ah! Second Aunt, I can't chat with you anymore!" He suddenly stood up.

"I have to go back and support my second uncle! He's fighting this battle alone now! See you at home!"

After saying that, he opened the door and disappeared in a flash.

......

Inside the Lu family's small building, Liu Xiuyun and Aunt Sun were already busy preparing.

One person was preparing food in the kitchen, while the other hurried to tidy up the guest rooms.

Lu Zhenghua then called Lu Weidong into his study.

As soon as the door closed, the old man's gentle expression vanished, replaced by a sharp look in his eyes.

"Tell me, what is the real situation?"

He knows his son too well.

On the surface, Lu Weidong's statement sounded logically sound and didn't seem to have any major flaws.

But he knew that Lu Weidong was a very measured, even somewhat rigid and self-disciplined person at heart.

He would never do something as absurd as getting drunk and having sex with a complete stranger he just met.

Lu Weidong met his father's gaze, his expression unchanged: "I'm telling the truth."

"Do you think I'm stupid enough to fool you?" Lu Zhenghua's voice turned cold.

Lu Weidong didn't explain further, took a deep breath, and repeated himself clearly.

His expression was one of unwavering integrity, as if he were undergoing organizational review.

"There are no other circumstances, this is the situation."

Lu Zhenghua was so angry that the veins on his temples throbbed.

"Don't try to fool me! Did I say you wouldn't get married or take responsibility for anything?"

"Being responsible for others is your duty! But I need to know the whole story!"

"Don't you know our family's situation? You're a military officer, and you don't even have this much awareness?!"

Lu Weidong is not without sensitivity; he is.

He had thought about those unreasonable points repeatedly, and was even willing to let the political review and his father investigate them thoroughly.

But for some reason, a voice in his heart kept saying: Ye Wenxi has no ulterior motives, and he is not a spy.

Although there are indeed many unexplained questions surrounding her.

He had never believed in vague and abstract things like "intuition" or "feelings" before.

But this time, things just didn't go as planned...

Seeing his son stubbornly refusing to speak, Lu Zhenghua knew him all too well.

This kid has the same personality as me; he responds better to gentle persuasion than force, and the more you push him, the more stubborn he becomes.

The old man sighed, his tone softening somewhat.

"Are you really interested in that girl?"

Outsiders can see it clearly.

Lu Weidong's "responsibility" is one aspect.

However, the subconscious protectiveness he displayed went beyond the scope of "responsibility".

This question startled Lu Weidong. He didn't know either.

I've been single since birth for 24 years, let alone dating.

He has never even experienced what it feels like to be attracted to a woman.

But he did have an inexplicable...special feeling for Ye Wenxi, whom he had only known for a day.

"You can't even utter a fart in ages, you'll drive me crazy sooner or later!"

Seeing his expression, Lu Zhenghua waved his hand dismissively.

"Alright, let's bring them back first!"

"Get your identity document, background check, and marriage certificate sorted out as soon as possible, don't delay."
