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

Outside the division headquarters building.

The snow started falling without us noticing, and fine snowflakes drifted down silently in the glow of the streetlights.

Ye Wenxi left the division headquarters building and headed towards the road he would inevitably take home.

They walked for about a few minutes.

Then I saw that tall figure under the streetlight ahead.

Lu Weidong stood there, a thin layer of snow on his shoulders, a smile on his lips.

"Wenxi".

Ye Wenxi looked around; there was no one there.

She ran a few steps quickly, then leaped lightly into his arms.

Lu Weidong caught her steadily and spun her around in his arms.

The military-style wool fabric rubbed against her trench coat, creating a soft rustling sound, as if one could feel the other's burning chest.

She hugged his neck tightly and stood on tiptoe to look into the shadows again.

Lu Weidong chuckled softly when he saw her cautious expression.

"So cautious?"

"It wouldn't be good if someone saw us," she said softly.

Once she was sure no one was around, she tilted her head back and quickly kissed his cool lips.

The warm, soft texture separates at the slightest touch.

Before he could react, she had already let go of his arms and jumped back to the ground.

He put his hands back in his pockets and took two steps back.

Lu Weidong gently touched his lips with the tip of his tongue, where the warmth she brought still lingered.

"Are you kidding me?"

He smiled and walked towards her.

"Aren't you afraid I'll drag you back?"

"I'm not afraid of you at all." Ye Wenxi made a face at him.

But then Lu Weidong suddenly took a step.

"ah!"

Ye Wenxi let out a soft cry and turned to run.

I had only taken two steps when my waist tightened and I felt dizzy.

Lu Weidong scooped her up in his arms.

"Put me down quickly, someone will see us!"

"But we haven't seen it yet."

"Hurry up, or I'll really get angry!"

Ye Wenxi struggled a few times and jumped down from his arms.

This time, however, she didn't run far. She just stood next to him, and the two walked side by side toward home.

Lu Weidong took her hand.

He tucked her slightly cool little hand into the warm, large pocket of his military overcoat.

"How did your chat go today?"

"not bad."

Ye Wenxi did not mention Su Ran.

Why let someone unimportant cast their shadow over this beautiful scene of falling snow?

When the two returned home, Lu Weihua ran out of the kitchen wearing an apron.

Since she was caught spying last time and managed to escape, she has "offended" both her brother and sister-in-law.

These past few days, they've volunteered to cook every night.

The two of them rolled their eyes in unison as soon as they saw her emerge from the kitchen.

"Grandma, you should rest now." Ye Wenxi walked over.

"With the stuff you make," Lu Weidong added, "even a dog would avoid you if it smelled it."

Ye Wenxi reached out and took off Lu Weihua's apron, about to tie it on herself.

Lu Weidong took it and neatly tied it around his waist.

"Bullshit! I do have some signature dishes, okay?" Lu Weihua retorted, sticking out his neck.

"What?" Lu Weidong stared at her.

"Tomatoes with white sugar, cucumbers with dipping sauce..."

"Go play somewhere else." Lu Weidong pushed her aside.

Walking up to Ye Wenxi, she lowered her voice by eight octaves: "What do you want to eat?"

"What do you want to eat?"

Lu Weihua mimicked him, straining his voice and twisting his neck.

"Ouch!"

She covered her head and was flicked on the forehead by Lu Weidong.

Lu Weidong quickly prepared dinner.

There was roast chicken that Lu Weihua brought back from Harbin.

A braised ribbonfish dish that Ye Wenxi loves to eat.

There were also two plates of vegetarian dishes.

Lu Weidong placed a piece of fish on Ye Wenxi's plate.

"Wenxi, your household registration can now be officially registered in the military region. I'll go to complete the formalities tomorrow; your date of birth needs to be filled in."

Previously, Ye Wenxi had only obtained temporary identity documents.

Now that the relationship has stabilized, it's time to apply for residency registration for military dependents.

Ye Wenxi was taken aback.

This was a blank slate for the original owner.

She has never celebrated her birthday and has no household registration.

I don't even know which day I came into this world.

"Let's just write January 1st," she said softly.

"Really?" Lu Weidong looked at her.

"Yes," she nodded, "I'd like to set this date. It's a good one."

"Then that's the day after tomorrow?" Lu Weihua suddenly interjected.

Lu Weidong put down his chopsticks: "Okay, I'll take a day off the day after tomorrow to celebrate your birthday."

"Second sister-in-law, we're celebrating your birthday the day after tomorrow!" Lu Weihua exclaimed excitedly.

"Without you, you should stay away." Lu Weidong glanced at his sister.

Lu Weihua & Ye Wenxi: "..."

"Second sister-in-law, listen to this!" Lu Weihua pointed at her brother and said to Ye Wenxi.

"Is this something that could come out of someone with a temperature of 36.5 degrees Celsius?"

That's what my sister-in-law said.

But when Ye Wenxi got up on the morning of January 1, Lu Weihua's bed was already empty.

She left a note:

Second Sister-in-law: Wishing you two a sweet and happy life together~ I'm going to town to buy you a birthday present!

Ye Wenxi looked at the note and felt a little guilty.

In the dead of winter, it's so cold to be out all day without being allowed to stay home.

Holding the note, she angrily went to find Lu Weidong, who was already up and preparing breakfast in the kitchen.

"Look!" she slammed the note on the counter. "It's all your fault!"

Lu Weidong glanced at the note: "Yes, I told her to write it like that."

Ye Wenxi: "........"

Ye Wenxi looked at Lu Weidong, clicking her tongue and shaking her head.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

"Now I understand exactly what Sister Yunxia said."

"You really are..."

"Sigh~~~~"

Ye Wenxi shook his head and let out a long sigh.

Lu Weidong, who was washing dishes, suddenly stopped, turned off the tap, and dried his hands.

He turned around, untied his apron, and walked towards Ye Wenxi.

"Huh? What?" Ye Wenxi took a step back.

"I've made my decision," Lu Weidong said, approaching. "Before we eat..."

"I'll eat you first."

Ye Wenxi turned around and ran into the house.

But her speed was nowhere near that of Lu Weidong.

I had only taken two steps when my waist tightened.

"ah--!"

She was lifted into the air, head down, and the next second, she was lying on Lu Weidong's broad shoulders.

He easily pinned down her kicking legs with one arm, rendering her unable to move.

"Hey! Lu Weidong, put me down this early in the morning!"

"It'll be here soon."

Lu Weidong walked slowly from the kitchen doorway to the bedroom and gently placed her on the bed.

Without a doubt, that large, muscular body had already pressed itself against the soft body...

"No...stop..." Ye Wenxi struggled to break free.

Today is my birthday.

"You must...listen to...my...."

She managed to squeeze out those words from under his lips.

Lu Weidong released her lips, raised his head, and still supported himself on his side.

Ye Wenxi smiled broadly, her cheeks slightly flushed, and beckoned to him with her finger.

Lu Weidong leaned down and put his ear close.

Her breath was warm, and she softly uttered a sentence:

"Today, you are my birthday cake."

"It's my turn... to eat you."

She reached out and gently pushed Lu Weidong's firm chest.

"Go boil some water," she said with a smile, "I want to enjoy a bath first."

That smiling face, those captivating eyes, held a certain allure.

This made Lu Weidong want to lower his head and kiss him again.

Ye Wenxi suddenly raised a finger and gently pressed it against his lips.

"Huh?" Her eyes crinkled into a smile. "You'll have to hold back."

"Birthday presents, you always have to wait patiently..."

She spoke very softly, almost breathily:

"Waiting for its owner to open it..."
