Chapter 1372: Husband and wife reunion
Around 7 pm.
County Party Committee Family Quarters Courtyard.
It was already dark when Dong Xuebing and Xie Huilan returned home. They had been busy with condolence visits the entire evening, not having time for a meal.
"Are you tired, Huilan?"
"It"s okay, hehe."
"You should rest, and I"ll prepare dinner."
"No rush. Take a break, too."
"I"m just afraid you and our son will get hungry."
"You"re considerate to me. Hehe… But remember, don"t make it too greasy or spicy."
"Hey, I know that. We will be having only boiled green vegetables tonight."
"Add some meat, or it"s not nutritious. Oh, and don"t use chicken essence or MSG."
"You"re the boss. I"ve noticed that people who don"t know how to work always have a lot to say."
Xie Huilan smiled and sat on the sofa, elegantly dangling her high-heeled shoes. And touched her slightly bulging stomach beneath the white blouse. She picked up the remote control and turned on the TV. The news was showing the recorded footage of their visit in the afternoon. Xie Huilan was shown speaking compa.s.sionately to a young girl on a hospital bed. In the footage, she looked beautiful and photogenic. On the other hand, Dong Xuebing was a little lacking. The two didn"t seem to match, whether in age or appearance. They didn"t look like a married couple at all.
But Dong Xuebing had long grown accustomed to this. Thinking about the admiring gazes his wife received and the envious looks directed at him, his vanity was delighted. Every time he went out with her, he felt exceptionally proud.
Who wouldn"t envy him for having such a beautiful wife?
Sometimes, Dong Xuebing felt like he was living a dream and would wake up happy. Not to mention others.
In the kitchen.
Dong Xuebing started to work. The vegetables were just bought when they returned, very fresh.
That night, Secretary Meng and his wife had invited everyone to dinner, planning to go to the guesthouse. Other County Leaders and several officials were probably already there. However, Dong Xuebing said Huilan was pregnant and tired, so the two declined. The main reason was that Dong Xuebing was afraid his wife would suffer. The officialdom was a particular place, and dining etiquette was crucial. If Xie Huilan, representing the Deputy Mayor of Fen Zhou City, went to eat with them, she would sit at the head of the table. Secretary Meng and the others would have to change their way of talking. It would be like a welcoming banquet. But if they attended the dinner tonight, County Mayor Dong"s wife, Xie Huilan, would be sitting beside him as his wife. She wouldn"t be seated at the head of the table. Dong Xuebing was very protective of his wife, especially during her pregnancy. He didn"t want her, a Deputy Mayor, to lower her status and accompany officials only at the Division Chief level. He didn"t want her to lose face. So, he declined and went home to reunite with his wife.
One dish…
Three dishes…
Five dishes…
It took more than half an hour.
Dong Xuebing made five dishes and a soup, very sumptuous.
When the dishes were served, Xie Huilan stood up from the sofa smilingly. "Oh, we can"t finish all of this."
Dong Xuebing smiled, "Eat as much as you want."
"Nowadays, we don"t advocate wasting. If there are leftovers, we can eat them tomorrow."
"I don"t mind. I"ll eat the leftovers tomorrow and cook something new for you and our son."
"My little husband is so sweet." Xie Huilan smiled, beckoning to him. "Come. I will reward you."
"Hehe, here I come." Dong Xuebing put down the plate and approached her.
Smiling, Xie Huilan lowered her head and lightly kissed his eyes. "Thank you, my dear husband."
Dong Xuebing felt delighted, but he said, "You"re just good at sweet-talking. You almost got me."
With a smile on her lips, Xie Huilan picked up a bite of food and tasted it. "Hmm, not bad. Why does it feel like my husband"s cooking skills have improved so much? It"s delicious."
"I"ve had a breakthrough in my culinary skills recently."
"Oh, I need to eat more tonight."
Dong Xuebing saw through her. Xie Huilan hardly did any household ch.o.r.es. Forget about cooking and cleaning. She hadn"t even wiped a table. You could say she was lazy, always maintaining that regal and elegant demeanor. Every time Dong Xuebing finished the ch.o.r.es, he would receive a reward, a thank you, or something similar. Sometimes, she even volunteered to do the housework and spoke persuasively. Dong Xuebing knew she was only talking and never intended to do any work. He didn"t want to let Hui Lan do household ch.o.r.es, but in the end, he did everything himself.
Ah, a good wife.
People can only see the glory. Who knows the efforts behind it, huh? Don"t mention anything else. Xie Huilan has been sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed and not caring about anything every time she comes home in the past six months after getting married. Dong Xuebing guessed that only he could tolerate her.
After dinner.
Xie Huilan got up to pick up the plates. "Tonight, I will wash the dishes."
"Come on, you"re just talking. I"ve never seen you do it." Dong Xuebing grumbled. "Leave it. I will do the dishes."
Xie Huilan looked at him, "Never mind, I"ll do it."
Seeing that she was severe, Dong Xuebing quickly took the plates from her hands and helped her sit on the sofa. "You"re pregnant. How can I let you do the work? I"m serious. Don"t mention was.h.i.+ng dishes or bowls. I wouldn"t even let you wipe a table."
"Hehe, you"re so sweet."
"Of course, who will if I don"t spoil you?"
In her usual manner, Xie Huilan reclined on the sofa with elegance. Her legs crossed again. "Alright, I have to reward my little husband nicely tonight."
"Really?"
"No, hehe."
"You"re just teasing me."
Dong Xuebing rolled his eyes and ignored her, turning around to pick up the plates and enter the kitchen. He quickly washed them and put the leftovers in plastic wrap in the refrigerator. However, when he came out again, Xie Huilan unexpectedly changed in the living room. Her trousers and women"s blouse were nowhere to be seen. Instead, she was wearing a light gray silk suspender nightgown. Her slender thighs were mostly exposed, and her white shoulders and collarbones were also visible, with deep cleavage. Coupled with the tightly pinned hair on her head, she looked s.e.xy and elegant from top to bottom.
Xie Huilan seemed not to notice him coming out, smiling as she watched the news. "You"ve been fooling around again a few days ago and got injured trying to save others."
"It"s nothing."
"Is the injury serious?"
"It"s not a big deal. The news exaggerates everything."
"Really? They seem to be saying the opposite. I think they had played down your injuries."
"Do I look injured to you? It"s late. Shouldn"t we go to bed?"
"It"s only past eight. Is it time to sleep? Sleeping is fine, but your sister Xie has had back pain and discomfort lately. Alas, no one gives me a ma.s.sage."
"Let me do it."
"Hehe, I didn"t tell you to."
"I"m the only one in the house. If you are not talking to me, who are you talking to?" Dong Xuebing sat next to her, and his hands also started to knead her thighs. "You are just telling me indirectly."
Xie Huilan smiled, "My little husband is the best."
Dong Xuebing exclaimed, "Did you get slightly plump?"
"Yes, I"ve gained some weight recently. Maybe it"ll be better after giving birth."
"Not fat at all. Besides, a little plump is not a problem. Even if you become a big fat lady, I"ll still love you."
"Oh, look at you, so sweet. Let me taste if you"ve applied honey." Xie Huilan tilted her head, smiling, and sensually kissed his lips, "Hmm, it"s really sweet."
Dong Xuebing couldn"t hold back, and his hands became less obedient, exploring under her skirt to flirt.
"Where are you touching? This is…"
"You wanted a ma.s.sage, right?"
"Not necessary for my b.u.t.ts, okay?"
"It"s necessary. You are always sitting. It"ll improve your blood circulation."
"You talk more sweetly than you sing. Hehe, take advantage of me, my little husband."
As Dong Xuebing touched and caressed, he also squatted between Xie Huilan ‘s legs, leaned down to kiss her slightly swollen belly, and listened to it for a while. "Why is there no movement?"
"The baby is asleep."
"Well, that"s perfect. Shall we…"
"You don"t hold back with me. I am almost in the last trimester. What if something happens to our son?"
"It won"t happen. I also studied medicine. I know what I"m doing."
"Come on, I don"t believe you."
"You just said you would reward me tonight. We rarely get to see each other. We should be intimate. Don"t worry. I"ll take it easy." Dong Xuebing was confident in his powers and knew he could use REVERSE if anything went wrong.
Xie Huilan smiled at him.
Dong Xuebing stood up, bent down, and gently lifted her. "It"s settled then. Let"s go." They entered the bedroom, and he gently placed her in the bed, undressed himself, and got into bed.
Xie Huilan reached out and held his hand, playing with his fingers one by one. "I"ll give you twenty minutes. Take it slow. I won"t be at ease if it takes too long."
"Thirty minutes."
"Twenty minutes, no negotiation."
After saying this, Xie Huilan ‘s long, smooth legs hooked around Dong Xuebing"s waist. Her expressive crescent-shaped eyes stared at him intently. She sat up, and before Dong Xuebing could finish undressing, she took the initiative, pressing him down. The two rolled to the other side, and Xie Huilan smiled as she extended her tongue, kissing his neck, and her hands roamed through his hair.
"Missed me?"
"Of course I did."
"Hehe, at least you"re obedient."
Dong Xuebing couldn"t take it anymore. Today, he didn"t want to let Hui Lan take the initiative again. He flipped over, pouncing on her, and started their intimate moment.
Xie Huilan ‘s breathing became rapid, breathing on Dong Xuebing"s chest.
But even in bed, even with both legs on Dong Xuebing"s shoulders, she could still maintain her graceful demeanor, smiling throughout.
