Chapter 232 – Got excited about nothing (1/2)

Night. 10 pm.

County’s Party Committee Family quarters. Mayor’s apartment.

Dong Xuebing was in the bathroom, brushing his teeth with a new toothbrush. He rinsed his mouth and placed his toothbrush beside Xie Huilan’s purple toothbrush. After that, he turned on the heater and washed his face. Finally, it’s time to sleep.

In the bedroom, Xie Huilan was reading a book on the bed.

The dress Xie Huilan was wearing was on the chair, and she covered herself with a thin blanket.

Dong Xuebing entered the room shyly and asked. “Sister Xie, which blanket am I using?”

Xie Huilan looked at him and smile. “What blanket?”

Dong Xuebing points to the bed. “You only have a blanket. Do you have extra?”

“Hehe… you don’t stand on ceremony with me.” Xie Huilan closed her book and narrowed her eyes. “We are not married yet, and do you think it’s right for us to be sleeping on the same bed?”

Dong Xuebing mumbled. “Errr…. No… it’s not right…”

Xie Huilan laughed. “That’s right. You can sleep in the other bedroom, ok?”

Damn. I got excited about nothing. Dong Xuebing thought Sister Xie had asked him to stay for the night because she wants to sleep with him.

Xie Huilan covered her mouth as she yawns. “Hehe… go and sleep. I still have work tomorrow.”

Dong Xuebing took one last glance at Xie Huilan’s slim body and saw her switching off her bedside lamp. Dong Xuebing hesitated for a moment and walked a few steps forward in the dark. He could see Xie Huilan turning towards him, and he cleared his throat. “When parting, couples usually kiss… err…. Should we…”

Xie Huilan did not say anything and continued staring at him.

Dong Xuebing leaned forward and kissed her softly on her lips.

After a while, Dong Xuebing lifted his head. “Sis… can’t you be… a bit responsive?”

“How should I respond?”

“You should kiss me back, and don’t let me do all the work.”

Xie Huilan giggled and sat up to kiss Dong Xuebing on his lips. She looked at him playfully. “Is this alright? Hehe… Goodnight?”

Dong Xuebing took off his clothes in the other room and laid on the bed, staring at the ceiling. Images of Xie Huilan’s smile, her figure, and lips were still fresh on his mind. He licked his lips and thought about the kisses. His ancestors must have done a lot of good deeds for him to have the luck to date this wonderful woman.

Dong Xuebing let his thoughts wander until he fell asleep.

The next morning, the sun shone on Dong Xuebing’s face.

Dong Xuebing opened his eyes and looked at the time. It’s 5.40 in the morning, and there should not be many people around the family quarters. This is the best time to leave without anyone noticing. He got off the bed and washed up and dressed. He did not wake Xie Huilan as he wanted her to sleep a while more. He went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast and wrote a note for her before leaving.

Suddenly the bedroom door open. “Xiao Dong, you are awake?”

Dong Xuebing apologized. “Sorry to wake you up. It’s still very early, and you should sleep a while more. I am leaving now.”

“I’m awake.” Xie Huilan walked out of the bedroom. “Have you taken your breakfast? Leave after breakfast. There’s too much food, and I can’t finish everything.” Xie Huilan had just woke up, but she still looks so elegant as she walks towards the dining table. She looked at the note and smiles. “You even left a note for me? Let me see…. Sister Xie, warm up the food before eating. Don’t eat cold food as it is not good for your stomach. I am leaving and will come over when I have the chance. If you want to eat anything, just give me a call… Hehe…”
