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

On the day Wang Hao arrived in Yunnan, he made a phone call to Lu Weidong and the others.

He only said one sentence: "The people have arrived, the mission has been accepted, it's a search team."

There has been no further news since.

Chen Yuanchuan reiterated: No news is not necessarily bad news.

Ye Wenxi and Zhang Yunxia were both in the clothing store's premises.

The poster came out, but she didn't send it.

The design drafts for the new season are complete, but have not yet been distributed;

The interviews were conducted, but no final decision has been made yet...

All their efforts were barely enough to keep the clothing company running normally.

Fortunately, there are still technicians like Li Yanyu and Sun Xiaolan.

Everyone was familiar with the sales and task allocation process, and at this moment they all helped the two of them share the burden, so Ye Wenxi and Zhang Yunxia didn't have to worry too much.

The sisters all stood by them in unison, supporting them through the most difficult days.

Ye Wenxi had visibly lost a lot of weight, and the shadows under her eyes had not disappeared.

She was absentmindedly drawing the manuscript that she hadn't finished in many days.

drop--!

A sharp horn sounded from the main entrance of the venue.

A car was parked at the entrance, honking its horn, as if to remind them.

Ye Wenxi frowned, put down what she was holding, and got up to walk out.

Normally, no one would drive directly here.

Are they from the factory? Or from the bureau?

The footsteps sounded particularly loud in the empty warehouse.

She walked around the screen and bumped right into Lu Weidong, who quickly opened the door and rushed in.

Lu Weidong stood at the door.

He stared straight at her, his chest heaving violently with emotion.

Ye Wenxi's heart clenched suddenly.

She guessed why Lu Weidong was here.

"Wenxi!"

Lu Weidong's voice was hoarse, but every word struck her heart:

"We have news!"

The moment the words were spoken, a series of chaotic footsteps sounded from behind the screen.

Zhang Yunxia rushed out, Li Yanyu rushed out, and all the helpers rushed out.

They stood there, no one spoke, all eyes were fixed on Lu Weidong's mouth.

Ye Wenxi walked forward slowly.

One step, two steps.

She walked very slowly, as if she were measuring the fear of the past two weeks with her feet.

Her eyes were fixed on Lu Weidong's lips, on the answer he was about to give.

"Found it!"

"They're all still alive!"

His voice boomed through the empty warehouse.

"oops--!"

Zhang Yunxia was the first to shout it out; it wasn't a shout, it was a howl.

She grabbed Li Yanyu's arm and fell downwards, but Li Yanyu held her up tightly.

"Oh my god!"

"That's great! That's great!"

They stomped their feet, huddled together, some cried, some laughed, some cried and laughed at the same time, and the ground beneath their feet trembled from their stomping.

Ye Wenxi stood there, her lips trembling.

Lu Weidong looked at her and walked towards her.

He hugged her tightly.

"It's alright now." His voice was close to her ear. "It's really alright now."

Ye Wenxi did not answer.

She simply buried her face in his chest, went limp, and burst into tears.

It was as if he was pouring out all the fear, self-blame, regret, and despair he had felt over the past week from his chest.

She cried so hard her whole body trembled, she cried so hard she couldn't catch her breath, she cried like a child who could finally cry.

Lu Weidong held her tightly, without saying a word.

Zhang Yunxia stood to the side, watching this scene, tears streaming down her face.

She wiped her face, grinned, and smiled.

I was laughing, but then I started crying.

Sunlight streamed in obliquely from the high windows, falling on the concrete floor and onto the sewing machines.

Fine dust particles floated in the light, drifting slowly.

All the emotions I've felt these past few days have finally found a place to settle.

Ye Wenxi's crying gradually subsided.

She stood up from Lu Weidong's embrace, her shoulders trembling. Lu Weidong patted her back gently, without saying a word.

The warehouse fell silent.

Zhang Yunxia stood beside Ye Wenxi, her eyes red-rimmed.

She walked over and hugged her tightly.

"You little brat, you've scared me to death these past few days."

Li Yanyu also came over and put her arms around the two of them.

"It's alright now, it's all over."

"Um... Sister-in-law, Aunt Li..."

Ye Wenxi's lips finally curled into a smile.

The young helpers also came over and formed a circle around them.

Only when the sunlight falls, falling on them, falling on the days they endured together.

The light was warm and soft, like the sky finally clearing up, illuminating everyone's heart and the days to come.

-

Lu Weidong drove over specifically to personally convey the news from Yunnan to them.

The message came from the frontline command post.

Wang Hao brought Ding Jiahe back yesterday.

However, both of them are currently in a coma.

Ding Jiahe was shot in the right arm, while Wang Hao suffered serious physical damage due to overexertion from prolonged high-intensity running.

Fortunately, thanks to timely rescue efforts, neither of them is in life-threatening condition and they are currently receiving treatment at a military hospital.

However, given their current injuries, they are estimated to need a month to recover before they can return.

There isn't much specific information available at the moment.

When everyone heard that the two would need at least a month to recover, they knew that the injuries were quite serious.

Fortunately, no one was hurt. We can only wait for an opportunity to call and find out more.

Seeing that Ye Wenxi had finally relaxed, Lu Weidong started talking to her about other things.

The two sat at the small round table in the tea room.

"Section Chief Wei contacted me today, saying he wanted to invite you to the awards ceremony for the exercise."

"Me?" Ye Wenxi was stunned for a moment, somewhat disbelieving.

How could she possibly be qualified to attend such an event?

"As one of the lead designers of the medals and awards, and also my beloved, you are certainly qualified to participate."

Ye Wenxi couldn't help but laugh.

"I can understand the previous part."

"But how come our Chief of Staff Lu's wife is allowed to participate?"

She finally revealed her usual sly smile.

Lu Weidong moved his chair closer to Ye Wenxi.

"Ahem..." He coughed seriously first.

Then he took Ye Wenxi's hand and gently stroked it.

"Because your loved one, as the commander of this exercise, led the team to victory."

"And he received the honorary title of Outstanding Commander."

"As a family member, you have been invited to attend the awards ceremony."

Lu Weidong raised an eyebrow, a smug and boastful expression on his face.

Ye Wenxi suppressed a smile: "Tch."

This was a smug look he only showed to Ye Wenxi.

That outstanding and decisive commander on the battlefield, in front of his dearest lover, was like a child who had received a perfect score, unable to hide his pride.

"Showing off like that." She deliberately turned her head away, refusing to look at his smug expression.

Lu Weidong propped his head up on the table, following her gaze.

"Hmm? That's it? No praise at all?"

"Isn't the praise from the organization enough for you?" Ye Wenxi said deliberately.

"An organization is an organization, can you treat it the same way?" Lu Weidong persisted.

Ye Wenxi turned her head and leaned close to the head propped up on the table.

"So what reward do you want?"

Lu Weidong's Adam's apple bobbed as he looked at her.

What do you think?

Ye Wenxi glared at him; his wicked grin suggested he wanted it all.

"Hehe..." Lu Weidong chuckled softly.

"Could you... reward me with 'a promise'?" he suddenly asked, his tone serious.

"Hmm? A promise?" Ye Wenxi turned her head and looked at him.
