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

Ye Wenxi fried two local chickens for Lu Xiaojun, but without a range hood, the whole house smelled of cooking oil. So she simply opened the door and window to let some fresh air out.

As Lu Weidong walked to the entrance of the building, he heard three people chattering noisily.

He paused for a moment.

Then the corners of his mouth slowly curved up, and his steps unconsciously quickened.

As I pushed open the unit door, the sound became clearer and clearer.

"Second sister-in-law, if my brother found out, wouldn't he be ecstatic?"

"I have to take this opportunity to squeeze some money out of him."

"Don't tell him yet!"

Lu Weidong could hear Lu Weihua's loud voice even before he entered the house.

Lu Weidong stood at the door and snorted.

"Don't tell me anything!"

"Oh my god!"

Ye Wenxi and Lu Weihua were so frightened that they both turned their heads at the same time.

Ye Wenxi, wearing an apron, poked her head out of the kitchen door.

"You're back? We're preparing a grand feast."

"Just you wait."

Lu Weidong didn't even take off his coat before walking to the kitchen door and looking inside. Everywhere he looked, there were dishes that had been prepared, ready to be prepared, or were being stewed.

He paused for a moment, then asked, "How many do we need to make?"

"Hehe, ten!" Ye Wenxi proudly shook the spatula.

"Wow, this is even more extravagant than New Year's Eve! Wait a minute..."

Lu Weidong turned around, hung up his coat, changed into a set of pajamas, and then washed his hands and face.

She came over and tried to take off Ye Wenxi's apron.

"Hey, hey, hey? Don't move, I'll do it!"

"You just wait and see today."

Ye Wenxi twisted her waist to prevent him from untying her.

"Wei Hua, go ahead and knock on your second brother's door."

Lu Weihua immediately rushed over and pushed Lu Weidong out of the kitchen.

"Want to hear it?" Lu Weihua put his hands on his hips and raised his chin.

"I don't want to hear it." Lu Weidong turned and left.

"Hey, come back here!" Lu Weihua grabbed his sleeve. "I guarantee you'll be interested. I can tell you first and charge you later."

Lu Weidong crossed his arms and looked at her with a half-smile: "Why should I give you 'fees'?"

"You will!" Lu Weihua nodded firmly.

Lu Weidong raised an eyebrow, giving him a look that said, "Let's see what you can say."

Lu Weihua took a deep breath and lowered his voice:

"My second sister-in-law will reply to the Academy of Fine Arts tomorrow and accept their proposal."

Lu Weidong didn't laugh.

He raised his hand and wiped his chin.

It seems like they're trying to process and accept this news.

Lu Weidong was overjoyed when he heard the news today.

But he saw Ye Wenxi's composure; she was carefully asking questions, confirming each point, and weighing the options repeatedly.

After the discussion, they said they would give me a reply in three days.

This shows that Ye Wenxi had her own thoughts and considerations regarding this matter.

He forcefully suppressed his overwhelming joy.

He didn't dare to place too much hope on it, so he simply pretended that the whole afternoon had never happened.

Don't mention it, don't ask it, don't let yourself overthink it.

So when Lu Weihua brought it up, Lu Weidong slowly began to recover from the emotions he had been suppressing all afternoon.

Then...

He smiled, his handsome features relaxed, and the joy in his heart spread like the wind blowing across a wheat field.

Lu Weidong nodded slightly.

He took out a wad of cash from his pocket, initially intending to take out a single bill, but after hesitating for a moment, he simply slapped the whole wad into Lu Weihua's hand.

Then he waved his hand, indicating to her: Get lost.

"Hahaha! Second sister-in-law, my second brother gave me all the money in his pocket!"

Lu Weihua, holding the wad of money, smugly rushed into the kitchen and waved it around.

Ye Wenxi glanced at it: "How much could there be? Your second brother doesn't carry much money in his pocket."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Lu Xiaojun rushed out with half an apple in his mouth.

"What?! There's such a good thing?"

He had an apple in his mouth and mumbled incoherently, but his eyes were fixed on the stack of money, and he reached out to grab it.

"Everyone who sees it gets a share!"

"Go away!" Lu Weihua grabbed the money, twisting her body to avoid him. "You go yourself!"

Lu Xiaojun chased her all over the house, with the apple still in his mouth.

The room, which had been quiet for less than two minutes, erupted into noise again.

There were ten dishes, eight of which were meat, and only two were vegetarian: one was a simple cold dish, and the other was fried peanuts.

There was also the "fried chicken" that Lu Xiaojun had specifically requested, which Ye Wenxi fried into a whole basin full of it on the largest enamel plate. She simply placed the entire basin on the chair next to Lu Xiaojun.

The entire plate was empty by the end of the meal.

Lu Xiaojun's cheeks ached from exhaustion.

Ye Wenxi stared at the empty plates on the table, their sauces completely soaked, and could hardly contain her disbelief.

"Xiao Jun..." she called out as she turned around.

"Tell me, have you not eaten enough these past few days?" Ye Wenxi genuinely had this question.

"You can't say that," Lu Xiaojun said, rubbing his belly with a satisfied yet innocent look on his face.

"That's enough. My stomach can't hold much more."

Ye Wenxi's vision went black.

After seeing the two off, Lu Weidong took the initiative to clean up and wash the dishes. The kitchen was a complete mess, as if it had been bombed, and it would take a while to clean it up.

Ye Wenxi was happy with this, because...

She has a small thing to prepare in advance.

She gently closed the study door, took out the unfinished little dress from the closet, and continued to finish it.

This is an extremely luxurious item.

A pure white silk nightgown.

But this nightgown is completely different from the styles Ye Wenxi already had in this era.

To be precise...

This is a "battle robe" that Ye Wenxi borrowed while watching many short films.

Two extremely thin shoulder straps suspend the silk dress that accentuates her graceful figure.

The length barely covers the hips, while the upper body features an extremely low opening and a deep V-neck, revealing glimpses of the body.

This dress was originally a little "romantic touch" she gave to Lu Weidong.

I just felt that on this special day, I wanted to reward him and show him my love.

So I secretly wanted to finish it ahead of schedule for him.

She added a band of lace to the collar and hem of her dress.

In modern times, this outfit would at most be called a "sexy nightgown".

However, for Lu Weidong of this era...

It's a game-changer.

Ye Wenxi couldn't help but laugh as she pressed the sewing machine to stitch the lace.

They also kept a close eye on what was happening in the kitchen.

-----------------

Lu Weidong heard the sound of water running in the bathroom.

"Wenxi, wait for me a moment, I'm almost done."

"Let's shower together."

Lu Weidong's voice drifted from the kitchen.

Ye Wenxi quickly stuffed the clothes into the closet and ran to the kitchen.

She grabbed Lu Weidong from behind and hugged him around the waist.

"What are you going to do?" She tilted her head, resting her chin on his arm.

With dish soap foam still on his hands, Lu Weidong casually uttered two words:

"You..."

"ah!!"

Ye Wenxi seemed to be burned by those two words, screamed, and turned to run away.

After running a couple of steps, he turned back and kicked him in the butt.

Lu Weidong didn't turn around; he just stood there with his back to her, washing the dishes while laughing so hard his shoulders were shaking.

"Hmph! I'm not waiting for you, I'm going to shower first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud "bang" came from the bathroom door.

Lu Weidong was stunned for a moment, looking at the unfinished dishes and chopsticks on the cutting board, and was extremely anxious.

"Why--?"
