Chapter 142 – What does Sister Xie mean? (1/2)

3rd day of Lunar New Year.

Dong Xuebing woke up to the sounds of firecrackers. He got off his bed with heavy eye bags. He went to wash up, and after breakfast, he sat on his sofa slapping himself on the forehead. He thought back on what happened last night and knew his relationship with Xie Huilan was over. So what if he had saved her life? He had used her stockings to do that type of thing, and she must be furious.

What should I do?

After thinking about this for the whole morning, Dong Xuebing got an answer. What should he do? Nothing! He could only wait for Sister Xie’s revenge!

At about 11 am, Dong Xuebing was about to go out and set off some firecrackers to vent his frustrations. Just when he was about to step out of his house, his phone rang. He looked at the caller display and turned pale. It was Xie Huilan’s number. She must be embarrassed last night and did not expose him. She must be called to settle the score now. What should I say if she asks about the stockings?

Answer or do not answer?

After hesitating for a few seconds, Dong Xuebing answered the call. “Hello, Sister Xie?”

“Xiao Dong, are you free now? My car is parked outside your neighborhood. Let’s have lunch together.”

Dong Xuebing’s heart skipped a beat. She wants to get back at him?

“…… Xiao Dong, are you there?”

“Ah…… Yes. But…… you no longer have a fever?”

“I am fine after a good night’s sleep. I will be waiting for you at the entrance. Do you understand?”

“Huh? Ok. I will go over now.”

After Dong Xuebing hangs up, he wonders if Sister Xie had brought people with her to beat him up. But he still got to go out and meet her. Dong Xuebing grabbed his hair and paced around in his living room. Suddenly he stopped and gritted his teeth. He still got to face it no matter what. He grabbed his bag and walked out of his estate. He had used the stockings of a Central Government’s leader to do that sort of thing. This was not a small issue. He could be charged in court. He decided to face the music and let Xie Huilan do whatever she wants to him. He was in the wrong, after all.

Outside of the estate.

There was a black Audi A6l parked by the road, and Xie Huilan was in the driver’s seat. She seems to be alone in the car.

Dong Xuebing was guilty and strolled towards the car.

There were a few entry permits on the windscreen of the Audi. This vehicle should be assigned to Xie Huilan by her department. The Party and Government had changed all their cars recently. In some places, governments were restricted to vehicles worth 180,000 RMB and below. The capacity of the vehicles was also limited to 1.8 liters. But the Central Government’s Publicity Department does not have any restrictions. They have luxury vehicles for the leaders. Of course, this Audi might also be Xie Huilan’s personal car. However, this was almost impossible, as Beijing was the capital of China. All government officials in Beijing had to keep low profile. Even if they have the means to buy personal vehicles, they will avoid getting expensive cars. Xie Huilan was a high ranking officer with the government, and other officers at her rank were still riding motorcycles.

After a few seconds, Xie Huilan saw Dong Xuebing, and she rolled down the windows. “What’s wrong with your leg?”

Dong Xuebing wanted to tell her that he just caught a disease that causes him to lose his ability to walk. He really wants to return home. But when he saw Xie Huilan, he knew there was no way for him to escape. He gritted his teeth and walked faster. “I’m fine. My leg had muscle cramps.” After thinking for a while, he walked to the passenger door and entered the vehicle. His head was hung low and was too ashamed to face her.

Come. I am prepared for your scolding. You can question me about your stockings!

Dong Xuebing was mentally prepared to be questioned.

“…… Xiao Dong, fasten your seatbelt.”

Dong Xuebing did not fasten his seatbelt immediately. He turned towards Xie Huilan: “Xie…… Director Xie, please scold me.” He changed the way he addresses Xie Huilan. He no longer dares to call her Sister Xie.

Xie Huilan looked at him: “……. Why should I scold you?”

Dong Xuebing replied embarrassedly: “I…… Yesterday it was…… Errr……. I am really……”

Xie Huilan burst out laughing. “You have saved my life and took care of me yesterday. I should be the one thanking you. Why should I scold you? Xiao Dong, what’s wrong with you? Eh?” Xie Huilan smiled and tucked her hair behind her ears. “Also, why are you calling me Director Xie? I think Sister Xie sounds nicer.”

Dong Xuebing was stunned: “But I……”

Xie Huilan looked at him curiously and smiled. “What’s wrong? You can tell me.”

After hearing what Xie Huilan said and attitude, Dong Xuebing was confused. Could Xie Huilan really think that the stuff on her stockings was his spit? Impossible. Whose spit looks like this? Also, her facial expressions yesterday…… She knew what that was. But why was she acting like nothing had happened yesterday? Damn. What does she mean by behaving this way? She’s not going to pursue this matter? Dong Xuebing quickly replied: “Huh…… Nothing. Nothing happened.”

“Really?”

Dong Xuebing gave a firm answer: “Yes. Nothing happened!”

Xie Huilan laughed and nodded. She did not act differently. “Ok. Let’s go for lunch now. Let’s go to Wang Fu Hotel. Ok?”

Dong Xuebing could only agree. Since Sister Xie did not mention about last night’s incident, he also did not want to bring it up. From Xie Huilan’s attitude, she seems to be not pissed with the stocking incident. Although Dong Xuebing could not tell what she was thinking, but…… Hahaha, the danger is over, and I am saved. Look at her…… Central Government’s leader is different. She’s so forgiving…….

The Audi drove towards Wang Fu Hotel.

Xie Huilan was wearing a black women’s suit. It was a tailored suit, and it’s considered half casual.

Dong Xuebing fastened his seatbelt, and from the corner of his eyes, he saw Xie Huilan’s heels and her skin-colored stockings. His heart started beating faster and quickly look away. Even if Xie Huilan had behaved like she forgave him, she should still be thinking about that white stuff in her mind. Dong Xuebing’s face was red and burning. He dares not to look towards Xie Huilan’s direction and look around the interior of the car. He was feeling more rigid and uncomfortable than yesterday.

Dong Xuebing got no choice. Xie Huilan had got something on him.

“Hahaha…… what are you looking for?” Xie Huilan turned to look at Dong Xuebing with a smile.

“Nothing……” Dong Xuebing pointed to the entry permits on the windscreen. The entry permits were for the City’s Party Committee, Publicity Department, Central Government departments, and a lot of government department’s quarters. “I…… I am looking at these.”
