Morning.
Along an unknown road.
Dong Xuebing walked for almost two kilometers before getting strong mobile signals near a village. He immediately called for vehicle repair and called Geng Yuehua’s secretary. He did not tell her what happened and only conveyed Geng Yuehua’s message. He told her that the District Mayor has some unfinished work at Da Feng County, and there’s no signal. She should be back before noon.
10 am.
Dong Xuebing’s clothes are almost dried after walking under the sun. He took his time to return while thinking about Geng Yuehua’s body.
What is going on?
It felt terrible not to get to the bottom of this.
Suddenly, Dong Xuebing’s phone rang. It is Zhou Yanru.
Dong Xuebing answered. “Hello, Director Zhou?”
Zhou Yanru raised her voice. “Director, I finally got you. I called you last night, but your phone is not in the service area. I was so worried, and I thought something had happened because of the heavy rain.”
Dong Xuebing laughed. “Sorry to make you worry. Is everything fine at your side?”
“Those Japanese Investors will be arriving this afternoon. You….”
“I am with Mayor Geng and might not be back in time. If I can’t make it, you will accompany those investors on my behalf.”
“Alright. I know.”
Suddenly, Dong Xuebing asked. “Oh, Sister Zhou.”
“Huh? What is it?”
“I remember Mayor Geng is single. Does she have a boyfriend?”
Zhou Yanru immediately lowers her voice. “I don’t think so.”
“Ah? She is in her early thirties. What happened?” Dong Xuebing can’t ask directly.
Zhou Yanru paused for a second. “Err……”
Dong Xuebing laughed. “I am just curious. It’s fine if you don’t know.”
Zhou Yanru quickly reply. “No…. it’s like this. Most of the time, Mayor Geng stays at our Subdistrict family quarters as her parents live here. I overheard Mayor Geng’s parents quarreling a few months ago on my way home from work. They are quarreling about her marriage issue. They had introduced a few guys to her but failed.
“Failed?”
“Yes. They met, but no guys called back after the meeting.”
“Really?”
“I heard a City Government Leader tried to matchmake his son with Mayor Geng. That was before you were transferred here. I heard from others that she met with that Leader’s son a few times but ended. That City Leader and his son did not bring up this issue again. It’s quite weird, and no one knows what happened.”
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing also finds it strange.
Geng Yuehua doesn’t want to get married and rejected those guys?! It cannot be. She is at the right age, and her parents push her to get married. Why is she not dating? It should not be because of work. If she wants to move up, she must consider setting up a family. Being single at her age is considered politically immature from a certain perspective.
Then it should be those guys who cannot accept Geng Yuehua’s character.
This is not a valid reason too. Those guys should have heard about Geng Yuehua’s character as they are being recommended. They should be prepared or try dating for one to two months. Why did they reject after the first meeting? This is the problem. She is beautiful and has a perfect body. Even with her character flaw, she should have lots of suiters. If she wants to get married, men should be queuing up.
This is strange.
There must be something he doesn’t know.
Dong Xuebing didn’t continue to think about it and walked back to the car. He is glad he was Geng Yuehua’s first man no matter what.
Forest.
Geng Yuehua was still in the same position when Dong Xuebing returned. She is still reading her documents, but Dong Xuebing notices the bloodstains on the seat are gone. She had wiped it.
Dong Xuebing walked up to Geng Yuehua. “Mayor Geng, I had made the phone call and passed your message to Secretary Ma.”
“Ok.” Geng Yuehua replied without lifting her head.
Dong Xuebing laughed and entered the car. He sat beside Geng Yuehua and looked at the document. “What are you reading?”
Geng Yuehua gave Dong Xuebing a cold stare. “Is this something you should ask?”
“Huh? I was just asking.” Dong Xuebing was used to her reply and lit a cigarette to ease the awkwardness.
Geng Yuehua flipped a page of her document loudly. “Go out and smoke.”
Dong Xuebing quickly snubbed the cigarette. “Err… I will stop smoking.”
But the cigarette smoke still fills the inside of the car.
Geng Yuehua frowned and got out of the car. Suddenly, she gasped and quickly pressed against her thighs. Her legs almost give way and trip.
Is it because of the snake bite wound on her legs or the after-effects of her first time?
Dong Xuebing quickly moves forward to help her. “Are you alright?”
Geng Yuehua looks terrible, but she does not let Dong Xuebing help her. She supported herself in the car and continued to read her document.
It became awkward, and Dong Xuebing did not say anything. He just stood by the side to admire Geng Yuehua at work. He finds her serious-look attractive.
The coldness in her face….
Her beautiful brows….
Her curvy body….
The more Dong Xuebing looks at her, the more he likes her.
Sigh…. What secrets does Geng Yuehua have?
