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

After the 10,000 firecrackers were set off, the smoke gradually dissipated.

Liu Xiuyun and Lu Zhenghua stood at the door, smiling broadly as they saw off the neighbors and comrades who had come to offer their congratulations and share in the joy.

Back inside, the living room was already set up.

A large, eye-catching red "double happiness" character is pasted above the sofa.

On the coffee table in front, a red fruit platter was filled with red dates, peanuts, longans, lotus seeds, and various wedding candies.

Lu Weihua walked over carrying a red wooden tray.

A red teapot and teacups are placed on top.

Lu Weidong took the teapot and poured two cups of hot tea.

Ye Wenxi picked up one of the glasses, walked to Lu Zhenghua who was sitting upright on the main sofa, bowed slightly, and respectfully offered it with both hands.

"Dad, please have some tea."

"Okay, okay!"

Lu Zhenghua smiled broadly, took the teacup, and took a sip.

He then took out a thick red envelope and placed it next to the empty cup in Ye Wenxi's hand.

Ye Wenxi picked up another cup of tea and walked to Liu Xiuyun: "Mom, please have some tea."

"Oh!" Liu Xiuyun took the tea, her eyes welling up with tears.

She took Ye Wenxi's hand and said affectionately, "Wenxi, from today onwards, you are truly our Lu family's own daughter!"

"Mmm!" Ye Wenxi nodded vigorously, feeling a warm glow in her heart.

After a simple tea ceremony and the formal address ceremony, the family happily sat together and enjoyed a sumptuous and lively wedding feast.

"Second sister-in-law, is there anything else you need this afternoon? Tell me, and I'll go buy it for you," Lu Weihua said considerately as he leaned closer.

"No need, these are all large items, too heavy," Ye Wenxi shook her head.

"It's alright! I have a 'helper'!" Lu Weihua winked at her and glanced meaningfully at Lu Xiaojun.

"It's settled then, don't be shy. You two should head straight back to your 'bridal chamber' and get some rest!"

"Lu, Wei, Hua!" Ye Wenxi's ears burned as he heard this, and he gritted his teeth and reached out to pinch the soft flesh on her waist.

Fortunately, the dinner table was lively, with everyone toasting and laughing.

No one noticed the "whisper" between the two sisters-in-law.

Without the burden of going out to shop in the afternoon, Lu Weidong and Ye Wenxi relaxed and unknowingly drank quite a bit more.

After the meal, both of them had noticeable rosy cheeks, and their eyes were much softer and more dreamy.

The wedding banquet lasted a long time, and the conversation went on for a long time.

The Lu family hadn't had such a happy meal together in a long time.

In the past, either Lu Weidong was too busy with his mission to come back, or Lu Weiguo was too busy with his work to be there.

Even when they finally managed to get together, the conversation at the dinner table inevitably turned to Lu Weidong's marriage, which made him less willing to go home later on.

Ye Wenxi was already exhausted, and she had barely slept the night before.

At this moment, the effects of the alcohol and fatigue surged up together, my eyelids were drooping, and my head was feeling a bit dizzy.

"Wenxi," Lu Weidong noticed her condition and leaned closer to whisper.

"Why don't you go upstairs and rest first? My brother and I will chat for a while longer."

"Hmm... I'll go upstairs and lie down for a while." Ye Wenxi really couldn't hold on any longer, so she nodded.

She got up and went back to the room she had been staying in.

She was too lazy to even take off her dress and clothes, and just collapsed onto the bed, falling asleep almost as soon as her head hit the pillow.

Perhaps because of the alcohol, I slept exceptionally soundly.

In her sleep, Ye Wenxi unconsciously shifted her body, only to feel as if she had bumped into a warm "wall".

She groggily opened her eyes...

Suddenly, I saw a magnified, excessively handsome face.

Lu Weidong was lying on the same pillow as him, very close.

Ye Wenxi was instantly wide awake.

She instinctively tried to sit up, but immediately felt a strong, powerful arm tightly encircling her waist.

She reached out to pry the arm open, but found it heavy and wouldn't budge.

What is this person made of? Why are their arms so heavy!

She cursed inwardly.

She managed to lift that arm up a little, but it seemed to have its own will, suddenly tightening its grip and pulling her even closer to its side.

The "culprit" even rubbed his face closer to hers.

Ye Wenxi's first reaction was: Lu Weidong is pretending to be asleep!

She immediately turned her head, intending to tell him to get up.

However, what came into view was his profile as he turned towards her.

Thick eyelashes cast quiet shadows under her eyelids, and her face still bore the faint blush of alcohol.

His breathing was even and deep at this moment.

It seems she really is asleep.

For the first time, she observed Lu Weidong's facial features carefully from such a quiet distance.

Her eyebrows were thick and dark, with clearly defined brow bones, and beneath them were thick eyelashes that were even longer than her own.

The bridge of the nose is high and straight with clean lines, and the curve of the tip of the nose is just right.

The lower lips are of moderate thickness and have a clear shape, giving them a resolute outline even in sleep.

The angles of the jawline are even more distinct and sculpted.

This is truly a face that's flawless from every angle, a face that should only exist in novels.

She stared at it, somewhat lost in thought, and subconsciously reached out her hand.

Her fingertips gently traced his full forehead, slid down his straight nose, and finally rested on his slightly pursed lips, which were warm to the touch.

"I will never do anything to make Ye Wenxi angry or sad. I will only cherish and love Ye Wenxi for the rest of my life!"

Lu Weidong's resounding and unpretentious promise from today suddenly echoed in her mind with unparalleled clarity.

"Really?"

Her voice was as soft as a feather, as if she were asking him, who was fast asleep, or perhaps questioning her own heart, which was beginning to waver.

A faint, almost sighing smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.

But somewhere deep inside, a faint pain welled up inside me.

Ye Wenxi dared not look at it anymore, nor dared to think about it anymore.

She quickly withdrew her hand, carefully moved her body out of his arms, and quietly got out of bed.

She went into the bathroom and splashed her face with cold water several times; the icy touch calmed her chaotic thoughts slightly.

Then, she found a set of comfortable loungewear and decided to change out of her "bridal gown".

She glanced back at Lu Weidong on the bed; he seemed to be still fast asleep.

So he turned around, with his back to the bed.

She took off her slightly elaborate white dress from top to bottom.

As her skin touched the slightly cool air, she deftly slipped on a comfortable cotton T-shirt and trousers.

She had just buttoned her pants when she turned around.

"what!"

Ye Wenxi let out a short scream in fright and subconsciously took half a step back.

Lu Weidong had woken up at some point.

He was lying on his side on the bed, propping his head up with one hand, looking at her with a half-smile.

A mischievous, playful smile played on his lips.

Something's off about that look in his eyes!

Alarm bells were ringing in Ye Wenxi's mind.

Wasn't Lu Weidong a serious and rigid military officer in the original novel?

Why is it that when it comes to her, she acts like a scoundrel and launches a sneak attack?

And now he still acts so "improper"!

She was both ashamed and angry, so she grabbed the dress she had just taken off and threw it at him.

"You're so annoying! Why didn't you say anything when you were awake?!"

Lu Weidong easily caught the incoming "attack," and his smile deepened.

The voice was languid and hoarse, as if the person had just woken up.

"I was just afraid that if I suddenly spoke, I would scare you."

"You've already scared me!" Ye Wenxi glared at him angrily.

"Why did you change? You looked so beautiful in that white dress."

As Lu Weidong spoke, he slowly got out of bed.

As he was speaking, he casually clicked the door shut as he passed by.

Ye Wenxi's eyes widened even more at his action: "Why are you locking the door in broad daylight?"

Lu Weidong turned around, a meaningful smile playing on his lips, and slowly walked towards her.

"You only need to lock it during the day."

He was only wearing a military green shirt, and at some point, the top few buttons had been undone.

His shirt was slightly open, vaguely revealing the outline of his firm and full chest muscles.

Perhaps the effects of the alcohol hadn't completely worn off, for his gaze was deeper and more intense than usual.

It was like having invisible hooks, locking her straight onto her.

Ye Wenxi felt flustered and confused under his gaze, and instinctively tried to open her mouth, her face burning.

A little voice inside my head is screaming wildly:

"Holy crap! Who can resist this?! No, no, I really can't hold on any longer!"

Lu Weidong suddenly stepped forward and pinned her against the wall.

Ye Wenxi was truly backed up with nowhere to retreat this time, her back pressed tightly against the cold wall.

"Lu Weidong... um!"

Before she could speak, his burning lips silenced her.

This kiss was more domineering and intense than any before, carrying an undeniable possessiveness.

His large hands tightly encircled her waist and back, holding her firmly between his arms and the wall.

Ye Wenxi was almost breathless from his kisses and could only passively endure them.

She let out soft, unbearable sobs, her hands weakly pressed against his firm chest.

After a long while, he finally released her swollen and red lips slightly, but still kept them pressed tightly together.

With red eyes, he lowered his head and bit her sensitive earlobe.

Hot breath sprayed onto the side of her neck.

His voice was low and hoarse, yet it carried suppressed gasps and a hint of pleading.

"Wenxi...don't be afraid of me..."
