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

In the original novel, the Lu family is a distinguished military family with impeccable credentials.

From top to bottom, from the old to the young, almost all of them are in the military or related fields, and their family traditions are strict and upright.

The two biggest headaches in the family right now are: one is that Lu Weidong refuses to find a partner; the other is their grandson, Lu Xiaojun.

Lu Xiaojun grew up in this compound, always causing trouble and getting into mischief.

Fortunately, the child isn't a bad person at heart, but he's rebellious by nature and will argue with anyone who tries to control him.

He's been whipped by his dad's belt countless times since he was a child, but it's no use.

He was only somewhat close to his second uncle, Lu Weidong, who was unmarried and spent most of his time leading troops away from home.

He felt that his second uncle had a certain spirit, that he didn't follow the crowd, and that he insisted on living his own way.

The father and son inexplicably find themselves on the same page in certain areas.

Lu Xiaojun had just ridden his bicycle out of his house when he turned the handlebars and bumped right into Lu Weidong, who was walking towards him.

"Second Uncle!"

Lu Weidong looked up when he heard the shout: "Xiaojun, school's out?"

"OK!"

Lu Xiaojun, with a wicked grin on his face, looked Lu Weidong up and down.

"Second Uncle, where's my Second Aunt? Didn't you come with her? Where is she?"

Lu Weidong paused, taken aback by his question: "You saw it?"

"Second Uncle, what else is in your eyes besides my Second Aunt?"

"I rode right past your nose, and you didn't even see me."

Lu Weidong raised his hand and ruffled his hair: "You brat, how dare you be so disrespectful to your second uncle."

Lu Xiaojun pulled his hand away, leaned closer, his eyes sparkling, and lowered his voice.

"Second Uncle, tell me first, is that really my Second Aunt?"

Lu Weidong felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze.

His lips curled up involuntarily: "Mmm."

"Hahaha! I knew it!" Lu Xiaojun slapped his thigh, laughing heartily.

"I told Grandma, but she didn't believe me! She even said I was playing a trick on her!"

"What?" Lu Weidong's smile froze. "You told your grandma?"

"I did tell her! But she absolutely refused to believe me, saying that you didn't have a wife, and that she would be overjoyed if you really got married."

Lu Weidong's smile faded, he took a deep breath, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Let's go back first and talk about it then."

Lu Xiaojun looked at his second uncle's face, which had suddenly turned from sunny to cloudy, and was a little confused.

Isn't this a good thing? Why are you suddenly feeling down?

The balcony on the second floor of the Lu family's small building offers a wide view of the courtyard.

Liu Xiuyun was bending over and spreading shredded green beans onto the kraft paper on the ground.

Out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly caught sight of two familiar figures, one tall and one short, walking towards my home.

She scattered the handful of green bean strips in her hand onto the ground with a "whoosh".

"My goodness!" She straightened up, placed her hand on her brow bone, and examined it closely. "It really is!"

Aunt Sun, who was standing next to her, quickly stood up and squinted to look.

"Oh dear, it really is Weidong! Why is he all alone?"

The two hurried back into the house, and Liu Xiuyun quickly greeted them at the door.

Just then, Lu Weidong and Lu Xiaojun pushed the door open and came in.

"Weidong! Why are you back? Didn't you go back to the army?"

Liu Xiuyun grabbed her son's arm, her eyes constantly glancing behind him.

"You alone? Xiao Jun said he saw you with a woman, is that true?"

As soon as Lu Weidong entered the door, he was bombarded with questions by his mother.

Instead of answering directly, he asked, "Where's my dad?"

"Your dad went to play chess! Tell me first, didn't you?" Liu Xiuyun persisted.

"Let's talk about it when my dad gets back."

Liu Xiuyun and Aunt Sun exchanged a glance.

"Oh my god, it really is!"

Liu Xiuyun slapped her thigh, her face instantly beaming with joy.

"Why didn't you tell me you had a boyfriend sooner! See, Mom didn't know, and this caused a misunderstanding!"

"What's wrong? Is the girl angry? Is it because of what happened at dinner last time?"

"Who told you not to bring him home sooner! Where is he? Why didn't you bring him home?"

She grew increasingly agitated, pressing Lu Weidong for an answer: "Tsk...say something!"

Lu Weidong was caught off guard by her questions and quickly went inside, giving a vague answer.

"Um, I need to use the restroom first."

Liu Xiuyun was grinning from ear to ear.

What she was most worried about was her second son's marriage. Unexpectedly, the boy found someone he liked without making a sound!

This unexpected good news made her so happy that she paced around the house.

"Hey, Sister Sun, hurry and find Lao Lu!"

"Go buy some more ribs and meat, the good stuff! We need to prepare properly!"

"Okay!" Aunt Sun smiled broadly and quickly went to do it.

Although Lu Weidong did not admit it directly, Liu Xiuyun had already automatically filled in a whole set of "perfect logic" in her mind:

My son must have found someone on his own.

The girl wanted to spend more time together and didn't want to meet his parents yet, so he didn't bring her home.

Lu Weidong was unwilling to be set up on a blind date by himself!

The girl must have known that Lu Weidong was being set up on a blind date.

Well, in their haste, the two of them simply sealed off their relationship to prevent outsiders from having any more designs on it.

So, Weidong didn't leave at all yesterday.

He went to explain things to that girl!

They brought it back today!

The more Liu Xiuyun thought about it, the more convinced she became that it was true.

He couldn't help but hum a little tune, feeling quite pleased with himself.

It's all thanks to myself! I'm so glad I gave it a push.

Then he recalled what his grandson had just said: "That woman is so beautiful, tall, elegant, and a perfect match for Second Uncle."

As Liu Xiuyun thought about it, her heart was filled with joy.

Lu Xiaojun sensed that something was wrong.

His second uncle's reaction just now was evasive and hesitant.

Something's definitely wrong!

He sneaked upstairs and found that Lu Weidong wasn't in the bathroom at all, but was sitting on the edge of his bed in his bedroom.

Lu Xiaojun slipped into the room, leaned in, and lowered his voice.

"What's wrong, Second Uncle? Is there something going on?"

Lu Weidong sat there, vigorously wiping his face from top to bottom with both hands, and sighed deeply.

This looks like something really has happened.

Lu Xiaojun had never seen his second uncle look like this before.

His second uncle was always a man of integrity and unwavering principles, as if nothing could ever happen to him.

Lu Xiaojun's eyes darted around:

"You two didn't just meet for a day and somehow ended up sleeping together, did you?"

Lu Weidong suddenly looked up, staring at him in disbelief.

Lu Xiaojun saw his reaction.

Alright~

He guessed right.

Lu Weidong stood up, the slight irritation and hesitation on his face gone.

He can have emotions, but he can't stay trapped in them forever.

Now that things have come to this, marriage is a necessity and a responsibility he must shoulder.

He took a deep breath and made up his mind.

At worst, he'll take all the blame himself and never mention the drugging incident again.

We can't let Ye Wenxi face those embarrassing situations and pressures.

He said it was just a momentary impulse, and he couldn't control himself.

Anyway... he accepted it.
