Chapter 1818: Chapter 1818

Wu Yun lived near the City Committee. Song Guanchao parked the car, and as soon as he got out, Wu Yun clung to his arm, very endearing.

They had tried to be intimate several times, but each attempt was interrupted for various reasons. This time, Wu Yun felt there wouldn’t be any unexpected occurrences.

As she thought about what was about to happen, Wu Yun couldn’t help but feel nervous, her body slightly heating up under her clothes. She muttered softly to herself as a way to cover it up.

They exited the elevator and entered the room.

The apartment wasn’t large, simply decorated, but the arrangement of the living room conveyed warmth everywhere.

She took off her down jacket, revealing a black round-neck sweater that clung to her delicate figure, emphasizing a sensual curve.

Song Guanchao reclined on the sofa, watching her with a smile, which made Wu Yun’s cheeks flush slightly.

"I’m going to take a shower," Wu Yun flipped her hair, grabbed a change of clothes, and hurried into the bathroom.

Song Guanchao chuckled and took a bottle of iced water from the fridge.

Soon after, Wu Yun came out freshly showered, dressed in pink home wear with cartoon patterns, her hair tips still damp and sending off a fragrance.

She went to the room again, and when she returned, she had a set of men’s pajamas in her hands and tossed them at Song Guanchao: "Go take a shower."

Song Guanchao looked at her, then at the pajamas in his hand, seeming hesitant. Wu Yun saw his expression and immediately became nervous and anxious, fearing she’d hear disappointing words from him.

"Okay," Song Guanchao picked up the pajamas and walked into the bathroom.

Wu Yun exhaled soundlessly, gently patting her chest.

As if she remembered something, she quickly ran into the room, opened the bedside cabinet, took out a small umbrella, blushing as she unwrapped it and tucked it beneath the pillow.

She sat on the edge of the bed, carefully recalling everything to ensure she hadn’t missed anything, then quietly sat there, waiting like a blushing, nervous, and expectant bride on her wedding night.

Until she heard the sound of the bathroom door opening and the approaching footsteps, her heart instantly leapt, her body quietly tensed.

In that instant, memories of her time knowing Song Guanchao flashed rapidly through her mind until he appeared at the doorway; she slowly lifted her head, all thoughts vanished, leaving only Song Guanchao wearing the pajamas she had specially prepared for him in her eyes.

Song Guanchao was tall and had rugged features, making the ordinary pajamas look like they were from a fashion show.

He walked over and sat beside her, a fist’s distance away, yet he could hear Wu Yun’s heartbeat.

"What’s that sound?" Song Guanchao asked.

"What? What?" Wu Yun’s voice trembled, unable to look at him.

Song Guanchao elongated his neck, slowly lowered his head, moving close to her chest, then pressed his ear against it.

The sudden intimate contact pierced through Wu Yun’s emotional defenses.

"So it’s your heartbeat," Song Guanchao sat up, his sparkling eyes reflecting her blushing and heated face.

Hearing his teasing tone, Wu Yun shyly and annoyedly raised her small fist to gently hit his chest: "You only know how to tease me."

Song Guanchao caught her wrist, slowly unfolding her fist until their fingers were tightly interlocked.

The sensation of their palms rubbing, fitted perfectly together, made Wu Yun’s skin break out in goosebumps, her body involuntarily leaning against him.

"Tomorrow you need to go to Gaoshui County," Song Guanchao suddenly said.

Wu Yun was stunned: "What?"

Song Guanchao released her hand, embraced her waist, lifting her to sit on his lap, saying: "Do you know what’s happened in Gaoshui County these past few days?"

"I don’t know, what’s happened?"

"The county mayor of Gaoshui County was removed..."

He briefly explained, and Wu Yun asked: "What’s it got to do with me? Why am I going there?"

Song Guanchao replied: "Cao Xiaolou is backed by Secretary Zhou, so Mayor Wu didn’t intend to completely handle it, but he’s got ulterior motives, playing the role of controlling the government through the Emperor, intending to be Gaoshui County’s unofficial minister of personnel, managing county affairs."

"So, you’ll need to work hard and take a trip to Gaoshui County to collect evidence of Cao Xiaolou’s crimes."

Wu Yun asked: "Go tomorrow?"

"Yes, I want to deal with him before the end of the year." Song Guanchao stroked her hair: "This matter, I can’t entrust to anyone else."

Wu Yun pursed her lips, raising her chin: "How are you going to thank me then?"

She understood that Song Guanchao didn’t necessarily need her to go.

There were so many people in the city, not to mention the City Government, Zhou Xingjian could handle it.

And since he was letting her handle it, it must be a sure thing; she just needed to go through the formalities and collect the evidence.

It was practically a gift for political achievements; whoever goes will succeed.

"Offering myself to you, do you want that?" Song Guanchao smirked, grabbing her bottom.

Wu Yun twisted her body, shyly saying: "I want it now!"

"Not tonight."

Seeing her smile falter, Song Guanchao hurriedly explained: "You have to go tomorrow, tonight you need good rest."

He leaned closer to her ear, saying: "I’m afraid you won’t be able to handle it."

His words made Wu Yun’s shy eyes almost brim with tears as she countered: "Who’s unable to handle it! I don’t care, I just want it, you can’t refuse!"

Song Guanchao helplessly replied: "I’m not going anywhere, what’s the rush? You won’t be sitting in an office in Gaoshui County, you have to run around. Wait until you come back, okay?"

Wu Yun pouted: "No, I’ve waited this long."

She knew Song Guanchao was thinking of her, but after several unexpected interruptions, she didn’t want to delay further.

"Good things are worth waiting for, when you return, I’ll give you a celebratory candlelit dinner, and take a day off the next day for good rest."

She couldn’t resist Song Guanchao’s sweet talk and murmured: "Are you going home tonight?"

"No, I’m sleeping here with you tonight."

Song Guanchao placed her on the bed, tugged off her pajamas and pants, lifted the quilt, and with a chuckle, pounced on her.

The two quickly fell into each other’s embrace.

...

The next day, Song Guanchao directly called Tan Miao, reporting the situation first, letting him arrange for Wu Yun to go to Gaoshui County.

Receiving Secretary Tan’s call, Wu Yun immediately drove to Gaoshui County.

Upon reaching the county, she went straight to the County Committee to connect with Secretary Xie and began collecting evidence.

Time quickly advanced to Friday.

Wu Qiangwei received a call from Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng first chatted about some New Year plans and finally mentioned Cao Xiaolou: "What are you planning for Cao Xiaolou?"

Wu Qiangwei said: "I’ll find time to discuss it with Mayor Sun."

Zhou Zheng wasn’t too concerned about what position she gave Cao Xiaolou, but with the new year approaching, he thought it should be settled somehow, since Cao Xiaolou used to be his man, he should be given a good place.

After hanging up, Wu Qiangwei called Shu Xue in: "Contact a few Vice Mayors and invite them over."
