One second … five seconds … ten seconds … there was silence in Xie Huilan's living room.
Dong Xuebing stood awkwardly beside the coffee table. He wanted to dig a hole and hide in it. He thought Xie Huilan was naive and did not know what was on her stockings that day. But she knew about it from the start. Damn! Since you knew about it, why did you pretend nothing happened? Damn! The image he had built up in front of Sister Xie is gone. The Central Government Leader is going to hold him accountable!
"Sister Xie, that day … I … ah …" Dong Xuebing could not explain himself.
Xie Huilan looked at Dong Xuebing. "You still say you only respect me? You don't like me? "
Dong Xuebing replied with a crying face. "No … It's not like that."
"Oh, then explain to me what happened to the stockings …" Dong Xuebing surrendered.
Dong Xuebing immediately surrendered. "Sister Xie, please stop. It's all my fault. I … please punish me."
"Haha … I am not your superior, and the News Bureau is not your superior. I have no authority to punish you." Xie Huilan smiled. Xie Huilan smiled. "I am your lover now, and all I can do is to remind you not to do such things again. Firstly, it will not be good for your health, and secondly, my stockings are not clean. It is not hygienic for you to use them for that, alright?" Dong Xuebing was speechless. Xie Huilan smiled. "I am your lover now, and I can only remind you not to do such things again.
Dong Xuebing had never been so embarrassed in his life. "Ok … ok."
Xie Huilan nodded. "Don't be so nervous. Relax. Haha … let's sit down first."
Dong Xuebing sat down nervously and secretly looked at Xie Huilan's expression. He had said those things that made him blush, and Sister Xie was not affected at all. She still looks so elegant and poised. No wonder she is a Central Government Leader. She is so thick-skinned. But Dong Xuebing's level was not as high as Xie Huilan. He felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. His hands and buttocks moved from side to side.
Xie Huilan pulled the fruit platter on the coffee table. "Do you want some oranges?"
Dong Xuebing replied seriously. "Thank you. I am not eating."
Xie Huilan points at Dong Xuebing and laughed. "You … do you think we look like we are dating?"
Gosh, we weren't dating in the first place. But now, Dong Xuebing doesn't dare to say this as the other party had found his weakness. "Err … I … I will eat an orange." Dong Xuebing saw Xie Huilan was about to peel the orange for him and quickly snatched the orange from her. He peeled one orange for Sister Xie before peeling it for himself.
Xie Huilan put a piece of orange in her mouth and said. "You can just call me Huilan in the future, alright?" Dong Xuebing was speechless. Xie Huilan nodded.
Dong Xuebing smiled and nodded.
Xie Huilan nodded. "Then watch TV by yourself. I will go and write my speech first."
Dong Xuebing saw Yu Meixia bending over to carry the newspaper, and Dong Xuebing grabbed the newspaper from her. "I … … I will bring it to your room."
"Thank you. Hahaha."
Xie Huilan's room is filled with the scent of books. Instead of calling it a bedroom, it is more like a study. Other than the bed, computer, and wardrobe, there are rows of bookshelves on the walls. The bookshelves are filled with information and books. When Dong Xuebing walked past the bookshelves, he saw books on Thick Black Theory, Economics, Philosophy, News Bureau, etc. Seems like Xie Huilan is very 'motivated'. But Xie Huilan is different from Dong Xuebing. Sister Xie had used her studies to improve herself, and Dong Xuebing had used his studies to become a government official.
But Dong Xuebing also knew there was no other way. The General Affairs Office's role was to support the leaders and build a good relationship with the leaders. This was the only way to improve. If the General Affairs Office wanted to do things on its own, it would be considered as overstepping its authority. Hmmm … … when I get down to the grassroots level, I will try my best to help the people and get more achievements.
Xie Huilan was already in her working mode. She was reading the documents Dong Xuebing brought to her and writing a report.
Dong Xuebing does not dare to disturb her and quietly left the room. He poured a cup of tea for Sister Xie and placed it on the table. After that, he left the room and sat on the sofa, speechless. What is going on? I still have not settled my relationship with Aunt Xuan, and I am dating a Central Government Leader? Is Sister Xie telling the truth? Does she really like me? That can't be, it must be a joke, right? But this doesn't seem like a joke.
Dong Xuebing was in pain and happy at the same time.
One minute passed … …
Ten minutes passed … …
Dong Xuebing is afraid to disturb Xie Huilan, so he muted the TV. But he could not calm down. Firstly, he had fallen in love without knowing why, and it does not feel real. Secondly, when Sister Xie knew about the stockings incident, Dong Xuebing felt like jumping off the building. What does Sister Xie think of him? Does she think of him as a hooligan or a pervert? But why is she dating him?
Dong Xuebing could not figure it out.
Dong Xuebing got up from the sofa and rubbed his hands nervously. He wants to find something to do. Oh, I need to help Sister Xie tidy up her house. I need to show her my image. I must not let the stockings incident affect my relationship with Sister Xie. I must let her know that I still have a bright side to me.
Dong Xuebing rolled up his sleeves and ran to the kitchen to help Xie Huilan clean the kitchen hood. From Xie Huilan's looks, she should not know how to do housework. She should hire a helper or get someone to help her clean the kitchen. The table is clean, but the kitchen hood is a little dirty. Dong Xuebing's family was poor in the past, and he had never hired someone to clean the kitchen hood. He had to disassemble it himself. After cleaning the kitchen hood, Dong Xuebing went to the bathroom to wash the mop and wipe the floor. He saw Sister Xie was still cleaning the kitchen, and he took out a newspaper and a rag. He climbed up the window and started to clean the kitchen. He even washed the two women's suits in the washing machine.
After three hours, Dong Xuebing was sweating profusely. But in his heart, he felt satisfied.
5: 25 pm.
Dong Xuebing was squatting in front of the shoe cabinet in the living room, wiping the oil on Sister Xie's black heels.
Xie Huilan walked out of her bedroom and asked. "Xiao Dong, what are you doing?"
Actually, Dong Xuebing had heard the sound of Xie Huilan's slippers earlier and knew she had finished her work. That's why he quickly opens the shoe cabinet to wipe her heels. Washing the leader's clothes and wiping the windows is fine, but wiping shoes is … … It's too shameful. Dong Xuebing had only done it to make himself look more pitiful. He wants her to forget about the stockings incident. "Oh … … Sister Xie, you are done with your work? I'm sorry. I had cleaned the kitchen hood and windows without your permission. What do you think?"
Xie Huilan was stunned. She looked towards the kitchen and then at the windows. "What are you doing? You can just ask a helper to do it."
Dong Xuebing was still wiping the shoes. "I have nothing to do. Oh, can I polish the shoes with black shoe polish? Or white it? "
Xie Huilan walked over and took the high heels from Dong Xuebing. "Stop wiping. You are my lover. How can you clean my shoes and clean the house for me? This is what a woman should do for a man. Get up and drink some water. You are so tired. "
Dong Xuebing quickly replied. "It's fine. Let me finish wiping the shoes first."
Xie Huilan narrowed her eyes. "Go and rest, ok?"
Dong Xuebing was only pretending to argue with her. He had no intention of wiping Xie Huilan's shoes and went to the bathroom to wash his hands.
"Oh, you also helped me wash my clothes?" Xie Huilan, who was standing behind, smiled. "Mopping the floor, cleaning the windows, cleaning the kitchen hood, cleaning the clothes, cleaning the shoes … … Xiao Dong, let me tell you one more time. We are in a relationship and not a superior and subordinate relationship. Can you stop doing these things in the future?" Dong Xuebing asked.
Huh? Why are you calling me Xiao Dong? What kind of relationship is this? You should at least call me Big Brother.
Dong Xuebing nodded.
Xie Huilan looked at the polished tiles in the bathroom and saw Dong Xuebing's blazer hanging on the heater. She smiled and shrugged. "Fine. I don't even know how to eat dinner. I had wanted to order takeout, but you had worked so hard. Haha … … never mind. Let's go out for dinner. Chinese or Western?"
Dong Xuebing quickly shook his head. "No … … I will go home to eat."
"You had helped me do so much. How can I let you go home?"
"Hey, it's nothing. Why don't we just cook something at home? It'll save us some trouble."
Xie Huilan looked at Dong Xuebing and laughed. "Are you trying to make fun of me? I am not good at cooking. "
"Huh? No. I mean I will … … cook for you. My cooking skills are passable. If you don't mind … …"
Xie Huilan counted with her fingers. "Just count how much you have helped me. You caught a thief, saved my life, canceled our engagement, gave me heating materials, and even helped me with the housework. Haha … … How can I let you cook for me? Never mind. Since you want to eat at home, then let's eat at home. I will cook two simple dishes. Just make do with the salty and bland dishes, ok? "
"I will help you cook."
Kitchen.
Xie Huilan used her chopsticks to break the egg and put some chopped green onions into the bowl. "Xiao Dong, there are only eggs and vegetables left at home. I do not usually cook and eat outside or order take-out. That's why there are not many vegetables in the fridge. Can you make do with this?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "Anything is fine. Two dishes are enough. Eh, don't put too much salt in the eggs."
"… … Really?"
"Yes … … Errr … … Err … … if you want the eggs, add more green onions."
"Ok." Xie Huilan laughed and looked at Dong Xuebing. "Xiao Dong, we are dating now. Haha … … What do you think?"
Dong Xuebing blushed. "Sister Xie, err … … are we really dating?"
Xie Huilan narrowed her eyes and looked at Dong Xuebing. She lit the stove. "What are you trying to say?"
Damn. What do you think I am trying to say? I have too many things to say! Dong Xuebing cleared his throat. "Nothing … … Err … … it's time to pour the oil."
Scrambled eggs and stir-fried celery. These are two simple home-cooked dishes. But when placed on the table, it feels cozy.
Xie Huilan picked up an egg and tasted it. "Haha … … the taste is not good. I should have asked you to stir-fry it."
Dong Xuebing did not expect Xie Huilan to cook anything delicious. He could tell from her family background. "It's fine. The scrambled eggs and celery are good." Dong Xuebing ate two mouthfuls of eggs and nodded. "… … it's delicious."
Xie Huilan laughed. "You … … stop flattering me. You should know your own cooking skills."
If it was in the past, Dong Xuebing would never expect to be able to have dinner with Xie Huilan, a high-ranking official, and even date her. Huh? Why does this feel like a dream? Dong Xuebing wonders how serious Xie Huilan is about this relationship.
After dinner, Dong Xuebing and Xie Huilan sat on the sofa to watch the news.
During the commercial, Xie Huilan suddenly asked Dong Xuebing. "Xiao Dong, have you been in a relationship before?"
Dong Xuebing replied cautiously. "I guess … …" What he did with Aunt Xuan should be considered as dating.
"What kind of woman do you like?"
"Err … … It depends on my feelings. I can't tell you."
"Haha … … are you bored dating someone as boring as me?" Xie Huilan laughed. Xie Huilan laughed. "We have not known each other for long, and we don't know each other well. I am more focused on my work, and most of my time is focused on my work. My personal life might be boring, and I seldom interact with movies, TV dramas, games. Reading documents and writing documents are my hobbies. Haha … but since I am in love, I need to change a little. I don't think you will like me if I am still the way I was in the past, right?"
Dong Xuebing does not know what to say. "No … …"
Xie Huilan smiled. "Alright. Today's work is done. Let's go for a walk?"
Dong Xuebing's eyes widen. "Shopping?" Shopping with a Central Government Leader?
"Shopping. People who are in a relationship call this a date, right?" Before Dong Xuebing could react, Xie Huilan switched off the TV and grabbed a lady's handbag from the sofa. She walked over and put on her heels. "Xiao Dong, we all have work tomorrow and don't have much time. Let's go to the nearby places." Xie Huilan was too domineering and did not give Dong Xuebing a choice.
Dong Xuebing slapped his forehead and thought for a while. Damn … … Anyway, I don't know what Sister Xie is thinking, and it's pointless to think about it. How many people in this world can enjoy dating with Sister Xie? What's there to worry about? We can talk about the future in the future! Dong Xuebing let go and no longer care about whether they are dating or not.
The Audi A6 drove out of the estate.
Dong Xuebing, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, kept glancing at Xie Huilan's slim figure. Sigh … why are there so many differences between people? Sister Xie's beautiful face, slim figure, perky butt, and long legs … … Dong Xuebing thought the actresses in the movies were pretty. But compared to Xie Huilan, those actresses are not as pretty as her.
Xie Huilan narrowed her eyes. "Xiao Dong, do I look like a wet blanket?"
Dong Xuebing quickly looks away from Xie Huilan's chest. "No … … You look more feminine in a suit. Errr … … no … … a suit suits you."
"Haha … … Ok." Xie Huilan continued driving.
Dong Xuebing was relieved. He saw Xie Huilan was looking straight ahead, and he looked at her again.
Since Xie Huilan said they are dating, then as her boyfriend, he should have some privileges. Also, Xie Huilan knows he had done that with her stockings, and he does not need to hide from her. Of course, because of the authority of the Central Government's Leader, he will still peek at her when she is not looking. He does not dare to peek at her in front of her. This is disrespectful to the Leader … … This is disrespectful to his "girlfriend."
An Zhenqiao, a newly opened shopping mall.
Dong Xuebing walked through the lobby of the first floor under the jealous stares of the customers and staff. Everyone was looking at Dong Xuebing because Xie Huilan was too outstanding, and Sister Xie was holding Dong Xuebing's hand. Xie Huilan had also held his hand like this at Senior Xie's house. But it was different this time. Dong Xuebing was not nervous at that time. But it is different now. Dong Xuebing's back is covered in sweat.
Xie Huilan laughed when she saw Dong Xuebing like this. "Can you relax a little?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "Err … … I am quite relaxed."
"You call this relaxing? Your body is so stiff. Haha … … Am I a tiger? "
"No … …" Dong Xuebing took a deep breath and lowered his shoulders slightly. But at the same time, his elbow sank into Xie Huilan's left chest. Sister Xie's bra might be soft today, and Dong Xuebing felt his elbow sinking into her chest. He quickly pulled back his hand. "Ah … I'm sorry. Sister Xie, I did not do it on purpose. I really did not … …"
Xie Huilan laughed. "It's alright. Let's go."
Dong Xuebing looked at Sister Xie's expression and saw she is not angry. He continued walking with her, and his heart was sweating.
"Xiao Dong, you had dated before, and you are more experienced than me. Where should lovers go? Men's clothing? Women's clothing? "
Dong Xuebing paused. "I also don't have any experience. Err … … it doesn't matter where we shop. It depends on you … what you like." Dong Xuebing had wanted Xie Huilan to buy some clothes for him, or he could help her pick some clothes. That way, it will feel like they are dating. But Xie Huilan is a high-ranking leader, and Dong Xuebing is too shy to ask her.
Xie Huilan turned and held Dong Xuebing's hand. "I have a few books I want to buy. Why don't you accompany me to the sixth floor to read? Haha … … But this is not a date. "
Dong Xuebing thought to himself. How can I reject your offer? So, he nodded. "Ok. I also want to read."
Xie Huilan laughed. "Is it a good idea? Do you want me to buy some clothes for you? "
Dong Xuebing replied. "No. If you want to buy books, let's go. I will listen to you."
There is a book section on the sixth floor, and Xie Huilan let go of Dong Xuebing's hand the moment they entered the elevator. She walked over to a bookshelf and took out a book. She shook her head and put it back. She picked up another book and started reading. "Xiao Dong, help me look for books related to media." After saying this, Xie Huilan also felt her tone was not right. She laughed. "Can you help me look for him?"
Dong Xuebing was smiling in his heart, but he agreed. "No problem. Are you looking for books related to your work? I will look for them now. "
Xie Huilan replied. "Thank you."
After a while, Dong Xuebing returned with four to five books and passed them to Xie Huilan. "Is this right?"
Xie Huilan was engrossed in the book in her hands and did not hear what Dong Xuebing said.
Dong Xuebing did not dare to disturb Xie Huilan and waited by the side. After about ten minutes, when Dong Xuebing's back is tired, Xie Huilan finally put down the book. He said. "I had brought a few books for you. Take a look …"
Xie Huilan thanked Dong Xuebing and looked at the books in her hands. She took out a book and said. "This is not bad. Put the rest back."
"Ah!" Dong Xuebing placed the book back in its original position and took a few more books over.
One hour passed … …
Two hours passed … …
Xie Huilan came out of the shopping mall empty-handed, and Dong Xuebing is carrying three bags full of books.
In the carpark, Xie Huilan finally realized what was going on and turned to Dong Xuebing. She smiled embarrassedly. "Look, I still want to buy some clothes for you. Why didn't you remind me? Haha … this is not a date. You are just accompanying me to buy things. " Xie Huilan looked at her watch and laughed. "It's getting late. Maybe next time. Let's go shopping next time."
Dong Xuebing had helped Xie Huilan clean up her apartment and wash her clothes in the afternoon. Now, he is carrying a heavy pile of books. He was exhausted. When he heard what Xie Huilan said, he felt like banging his head against the wall. Damn! You also know this is not a date? Next time? Cut it out! There will not be a next time!
Dong Xuebing was still looking forward to this date. But … … cleaning Xie Huilan's kitchen hood, washing her clothes, accompanying her to the shopping mall, helping her carry her bags … … this is Dong Xuebing's first date with a leader from the Central Government!
What the hell!
A leader from the Central Government is indeed a leader from the Central Government. Even his date is different from others!
