The next day.
Early in the morning.
Clouds covered the windows and covered the morning sun.
Dong Xuebing and Xie Huilan are lying on the bed in the spacious master bedroom. Last night, they had slept together. After all, they had not done it for a long time, and Dong Xuebing missed her very much. That's why he had overdone it. Half of the blanket is on the floor, and one of the pillows is on the floor. The mattress and bedsheets are all twisted, and Xie Huilan's exposed leg is still stained with shower gel. But it is not foam.
Beep, beep, beep, beep …
Dong Xuebing's alarm rang.
"Huh?" Dong Xuebing woke up.
Xie Huilan yawned. "Let me press it."
Dong Xuebing closed his eyes and searched for Xie Huilan's mobile phone. He turned off the alarm and looked at his watch. "It's only 7 am. Why are you up so early?"
"I have something on during the day."
"Nothing is more important than sleeping."
"Huh … a Deputy Governor is here for an inspection."
"This bunch of leaders only know how to conduct inspections every day."
"Alright. You go to sleep by yourself. Haha … I will take a shower and wake up."
"I am really sleepy, and I will not prepare breakfast for you today. Go out and buy breakfast for yourself." Dong Xuebing continued to lie on the bed and pinched his wife's butt.
Xie Huilan looked at Dong Xuebing. "Haha … are you asking for it?"
Dong Xuebing thought nothing of it. "What's there to be afraid of? Do you have a tiger's butt?"
As they were talking, Xie Huilan's phone rang, and Dong Xuebing passed it to her. "Here."
Dong Xuebing looked at the caller ID. It should be Xie Huilan's new secretary.
Xie Huilan sat up from the bed and answered. "Hello."
"Secretary." A woman's voice is on the other end. "Something happened."
Xie Huilan calmly replied. "What is it? Speak."
The secretary replied. "We had applied for a few places to go to Macau yesterday, but the higher-ups rejected them. Your wife is also rejected."
"What's the reason?"
"They had booked the tickets, and we are late."
"And then? How do you solve the problem? "
"The comrade from that department said that the tickets for that flight have been sold out. I don't know if there are still any full-price tickets for that day. As for the family members of some of the leaders who came to our city's evening newspaper, the higher-ups will reimburse them for the air tickets and travel expenses, but they might not be able to travel on the same flight. They will let the qualified family members book their own tickets and bring the receipts to the relevant departments for reimbursement. What they mean is that they will meet up with us when they arrive."
"Who's in charge of this?"
"It's Deputy Governor Jia."
"The Provincial Governor Jia who is coming for an inspection today?"
"Yes, he will be leading the inspection team in a few days."
"Alright, I understand."
"Secretary, do you want me to ask again? The plane tickets for your wife and a few family members of the leaders are still there … They didn't mention the deadline, it's really a bit … "
"There's no need to ask. How many people haven't booked a ticket?"
"Including your lover, there are four of us."
"Ok. You can ask the people from the City Government Office to book the tickets. It doesn't matter if they are not on the same flight, as long as the time difference is not too big. What about the hotel?"
"The hotel said it's not a problem, but the plane tickets …"
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you with this matter."
"It's fine. I will get someone to book the plane tickets."
After hanging up, Xie Huilan threw her phone on the bed. "Seems like someone is trying to make things difficult for me. Haha … it's only been a few days, and this is happening."
Dong Xuebing had overheard the conversation over the phone. "It's just a plane ticket? Even if it's late, the higher-ups will not give me face. "
Xie Huilan laughed. "I'm afraid it's not about a few plane tickets."
"Then what is it?" Dong Xuebing asked. "They want to make things difficult for you?"
"I think someone doesn't want me to have a good life." Xie Huilan looked at Dong Xuebing. "I heard the position of Xiaxing City's Party Secretary had almost been decided. It's Deputy Governor Jia's trusted aide, and I got promoted halfway. He should not be feeling well, and I think he is trying to test me with the plane tickets. Seems like there will be more to the inspection later."
"He is trying to find fault with me."
"It's inevitable. The system is trying to find a balance through friction."
"He is coming over today to pick on you. What are you going to do? "
"He is the Deputy Governor and a higher-up. He must listen to you. As for the rest, we can talk about it later."
After saying that, Xie Huilan walked into the bathroom in her slippers. She did not even close the door and entered the bathtub. Dong Xuebing took a few glances at the bathtub, but his sleepiness got the upper hand. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Half an hour …
One hour …
Ring, ring, ring … Dong Xuebing's phone rang.
Dong Xuebing woke up and rubbed his eyes. He looked under the blanket and realized it's his wife's phone.
Did she throw it on the bed?
Did she forget to bring it with her?
Dong Xuebing looked at the caller ID, and it is a number he does not recognize. He did not answer and took out his phone. After his wife's call ended, he searched for Xie Huilan's secretary's number and called her. Ring … ring … ring … the line got through.
"Hello?"
"Hello."
"You are?"
"I am Xie Huilan's husband."
"Huh? Hello, Mr. Dong."
"Is Xie Huilan beside you? Can you call her? "
"Ok. Wait a minute. I will call Secretary Xie."
About half a minute later, Xie Huilan replied. "I just found my phone at home, and I had just reached work."
"Ok. I will bring it over to you."
"Are you awake? There's no hurry. Go and wash up first. "
"You're being careless. Alright, I'll bring you to the unit later."
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing yawned and got out of bed. He went to the bathroom to wash up.
After leaving the living room, Dong Xuebing changed his clothes and was about to leave. But when he saw the table, he was stunned. There is breakfast on the table.
An egg.
Half a bowl of milk.
Although it is not a lot and is simple, Dong Xuebing is touched. This is the first time his wife prepared breakfast for him. In the past, he had woken up early to prepare breakfast for his wife and serve her. Dong Xuebing saw this and did not leave. He must eat this. He warmed up the milk in the microwave and soaked the eggs in it.
Two minutes later.
Breakfast is ready.
Dong Xuebing took a sip of the milk and suddenly thought of something. Eh? Where is the milk at home? Dong Xuebing had cooked breakfast yesterday and knows what's in the fridge and cupboards. He had bought everything from outside, but he did not see any milk. But when Dong Xuebing took a sip of the milk, he realized what it tastes like! Bullshit milk! This is my wife's milk!
No wonder it's only half a bowl!
Xie Huilan squeezed it herself!
Dong Xuebing doesn't know if he should laugh or cry. He lowered his head and drank the whole milk in one gulp. After that, he peeled the egg and finished it.
… …
Around 9 am.
City Party Committee Compound.
Dong Xuebing had taken a taxi to the compound after his wife drove away.
Dong Xuebing walked into the compound, and the guards at the gate did not stop him.
The courtyard was quite lively. Many people were walking back and forth, and some were waiting there. There was a banner thrown on the ground at the side. It seemed to say that the provincial leaders were welcome to inspect the work, and so on. Everyone was busy, and there seemed to be a cadre giving instructions at the scene.
Dong Xuebing took a few glances and continued walking.
Suddenly, a group of people walked out from the City's Party Committee office building.
Dong Xuebing saw Xie Huilan immediately. Xie Huilan is in the first row, and the rest are a few steps behind her.
Dong Xuebing walked over. "Hey." He said as he walked closer.
One of the leaders behind frowned and thought to himself. Who are you? Why are you blocking the way? Can't you see the City's Party Secretary is walking out?
Hey?
Who are you talking to?
The rest of the leaders also looked at Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing ignored them and took out his wife's phone. Before anyone could stop him, Dong Xuebing said. "There are a few missed calls."
Xie Huilan took the phone from him. "Ok."
"Then I will go back first?" Dong Xuebing asked.
Xie Huilan laughed. "Go upstairs and wait for me."
Dong Xuebing does not have anything to do at home and replied. "Ok."
Xie Huilan points to the building behind. "Top floor, the first office on the left. The door is not locked."
"Ok. I know." Dong Xuebing nodded.
Many people saw this scene, and they were all stunned, not understanding what was happening.
Xie Huilan smiled and pointed at Dong Xuebing. "My husband, Dong Xuebing."
Everyone came to a sudden realization, and many of them almost fell to the ground. The sounds of coughing and inhaling rose and fell, as if they were in complete disbelief.
Your husband?
This is your husband?
Only a few higher-ranking City Leaders reacted quickly and greeted Dong Xuebing without showing anything on their faces.
"Mr. Dong."
"Nice to meet you."
Dong Xuebing also nodded at them.
In the past, Dong Xuebing is not used to this and knows what others are thinking. But now, he doesn't mind. Maybe he is used to it. Dong Xuebing was overjoyed to see everyone looking at him in disbelief. Everyone is wondering why Party Secretary Xie got married to Dong Xuebing, but they are also surprised to see Dong Xuebing marrying someone as beautiful as Xie Huilan. They should also be thinking that Dong Xuebing has three heads and six arms. This is an affirmation of him, and Dong Xuebing's vanity is satisfied.
Dong Xuebing has a beautiful wife.
Dong Xuebing has a beautiful wife who is the City's Party Secretary.
No matter where he goes, he will be respected!
