Chapter 822: Visitors at home

Morning.

Xie Huilan and Dong Xuebing remained in bed until after 9 am.

But they did not sleep. They chatted in bed about the topic ‘why my wife is so beautiful.’ Dong Xuebing tried all means to get her interested in doing the deed with him, but he failed. Sister Xie is different from his other women. She has a mind of her own, and it is not up to him to decide. From another perspective, she is disciplined and will not indulge in pleasure, unlike Dong Xuebing.

Maybe this is the difference between mature and immature.

Dong Xuebing had to admit that Xie Huilan was more mature than him.

In the bathroom.

Dong Xuebing brushed his teeth and started to shower when Xie Huilan knocked on the door.

“Xiao Bing, are you done?”

“I just started showering. Wait a while.” Dong Xuebing shouted. “Do you want to use the toilet?”

Xie Huilan giggled. “We had just moved in and forgot to buy eggs, vegetables, and other groceries. How are we going to have breakfast?”

“Wait for me. I will go and buy.”

“Never mind. I can go out and get it. Carry on with your shower.”

“Wait. I will go instead. It is not easy for you to get a day off.”

“It’s settled. I will be back in a minute.”

“Ok. Drive slowly and be safe.”

“I know. Haha….”

It felt good to live with a beautiful woman like Xie Huilan. Dong Xuebing had been excited since they moved in yesterday. After all, it is still their honeymoon period.

10 am.

Dong Xuebing stood by the window, waiting for Xie Huilan.”

A black Land Rover entered the quarters and parked outside the apartment building. Xie Huilan stepped out of her car with two plastic bags of groceries. She closed the door and walked towards the building.

Dong Xuebing saw many people looking at her.

About thirty seconds later, Xie Huilan pushed the door open.

“I bought breakfast. Soybean milk and youtiao (fried dough). Do you like it?” Xie Huilan changed into her slippers and entered.

“I like whatever you buy for me.” Dong Xuebing smiled as he took the breakfast from her. “I know why you picked Land Rover. It looked majestic, especially when you drove it. Do you know how many people are looking at you earlier? This car is built for you. You should continue to drive off-road cars if you are going to change it.”

Xie Huilan narrowed her eyes. “You saw me from upstairs?”

“I was waiting for you and had been waiting by the window.”

“Haha…. I had only gone out for a while, and you are waiting by the windows.” Xie Huilan looked at Dong Xuebing. “Did you miss me so much?”

“What do you think?”

“I don’t think I am so mesmerizing. I have less than ten suitors since I started work.”

“That is because they don’t dare to go after you. You are from a good family, beautiful, and a high-ranking government official. Do you think they are as bold as me to go after you?” Dong Xuebing paused for a second. “Wait…. I got it wrong. You were the one who had gone after me. You asked if I wanted to be your boyfriend at Senior Xie’s mansion.”

Xie Huilan was amused. “I was joking that time.”

Dong Xuebing smacked his lips. “Stop lying. I was not interested in you at that time, and you were the one who seduced me.”

“Really?” Xie Huilan looked at Dong Xuebing and smiled. “Who was the one that secretly used my stockings to do that sort of things, and….”

Dong Xuebing surrendered. “Stop… stop talking about that incident. That was many years ago.”

“Haha….”

“Hurry and eat your breakfast before the food gets cold.”

After breakfast, Dong Xuebing and Xie Huilan sat on the sofa to watch TV.

The air conditioner was not strong enough, and the apartment was hot. Xie Huilan removed her pants and only wore her white blouse and underwear on the sofa. Her fair long legs swayed in front of Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing was speechless. “What if someone visits our house and you are dressed like this?”

“It’s a weekend. Who will visit me? I….”

The apartment’s phone rang.

Xie Huilan answered. “Hello, I’m Xie Huilan. Oh…. Chief Liao…. What is it? I am at home. Ah…. Are you downstairs? Come up. I will wait for you.”

Dong Xuebing asked. “You have visitors?”

Xie Huilan smiled and wore back her pants. “Fen Zhou City Education Ministry’s Chief Liao Yiming says he is here for a visit.”

“Why is he visiting you?”

“I am now in charge of the Education, Cultural, and Health departments.”

Dong Xuebing was puzzled. “Why did they assign such important duties to you when you are newly appointed?”

Xie Huilan wore back her pants and stood up. “What’s wrong with having bigger responsibilities? How do I look?”

“Beautiful. But you look better without anything on.”

“Haha….”

Dong Xuebing got nervous when he heard a Division Chief from the education ministry would be coming. He quickly tidied up the living room and wiped the watermarks on the coffee table. This was his first time meeting visitors as the Deputy City Mayor’s husband, and it felt interesting. He did not want to disgrace his wife and stood at the door to welcome the visitor. Welcoming the visitor was the only thing Dong Xuebing could do, as it was improper for Xie Huilan to do it because of her status.

A few seconds later. Footstep sounds got louder.

The next moment, Dong Xuebing saw a middle-aged man walking up the stairs.

Liao Yiming saw Dong Xuebing and quickened his pace. He walked over and shook his hands. “Oh, you are Dong Xuebing, Director Dong?! I had heard a lot about you.”

Dong Xuebing smiled. “Chief Liao? Nice to meet you. Please come in.”

If this meeting is in another place, Dong Xuebing will not behave this way. Liao Yiming is the City’s Education Ministry Chief and holds a higher rank than him. But today, Dong Xuebing is representing Xie Huilan, and he had to position himself higher than Liao Yiming. Regardless of his rank, Xie Huilan is still Liao Yiming’s Leader.

In the apartment.

Xie Huilan smiled and stood up. “Chief Liao, you are here. Welcome….”

Liao Yiming shook Xie Huilan’s hand with both hands. “Mayor Xie, I heard you have been pointed, and I am here to visit you. Am I disturbing you?”

Xie Huilan smiled. “No. You should have come earlier, and we can have breakfast together.”

“Oh, I had taken my breakfast at home.” Liao Yiming said and placed the gifts on the table.

Xie Huilan replied. “Chief Liao, you don’t need to give us anything. Take them back.”

Dong Xuebing added. “That’s right. We don’t need anything here. You don’t need to bring gifts.”

Liao Yiming replied politely. “This is my first visit to my Leader. How can I come empty-handed? Mayor Xie, and Director Dong, these are not expensive gifts. It’s just a small token.”

Dong Xuebing looked at the gifts, and the total cost was less than one thousand RMB. This can be considered a typical gift exchange and not a bribe. Of course, he knows Liao Yiming doesn’t dare to bribe Xie Huilan. After all, he is the Inspection First Office Director. He cannot investigate the Deputy City Mayor staff and above, but he can investigate Liao Yiming. Everyone in the City Party Committee and Government Building knows they are husband and wife, and their declared assets are more than 100 million RMB. They will not be interested unless the gifts cost over 100 million RMB. Not many government staff and leaders have assets over 100 million RMB.

Xie Huilan smiled. “Alright. Since you said this, we will accept your gifts. Thank you. Xuebing, get Chief Liao a cup of tea.”

Dong Xuebing acknowledged and left.

Xie Huilan points to a chair. “Have a seat.”

“Ok.” Liao Yiming sat on the chair in an upright posture.

Xie Huilan started chatting with Liao Yiming about the Education Ministry and the schools.

Dong Xuebing could tell Liao Yiming was trying to join Xie Huilan’s faction. He took a liking to him and took out the expensive tea leaves given to them by Xie Huilan’s grandfather. The tea leaves cost more than gold.

Dong Xuebing brewed a cup of tea and gave it to Liao Yiming.

Liao Yiming thanked Dong Xuebing and took a sip. His face immediately changed. “This is…. Da Hong Pao?”

Xie Huilan smiled. “Chief Liao, you know a lot about tea.”

“Not really. But I had tried all sorts of tea and never tasted this favor. This must be Da Hong Pao.”

Xie Huilan looked at Dong Xuebing and said. “Pack some tea leaves for Chief Liao.”

Liao Yiming was surprised. “No…. these tea leaves are too precious.”

Xie Huilan smiled. “It’s fine. My husband and I don’t know how to appreciate tea, and it is a waste for us to drink it.”
