Chapter 1335: Mayor Jiang accepted it

Living room.

It became awkward suddenly.

Dong Xuebing wants to jump out of the windows to escape this embarrassing situation.

Dong Xuebing bought a lot of gifts. He repackaged them into smaller packages to fit into his luggage. He forgot which gift was in which package. He thought the package was his gift for Mayor Jiang, but he took the wrong one. It was his gift for Xu Yan. It was a sexy black underwear set. But it ended up in Jiang Fangfang’s hands now. He still asked her to try it.

Try?

Try your head!

She will never try it on.

Dong Xuebing was sweating. No wonder Mayor Jiang sat there and did not try on the new clothes.

Underwear…

What will she think of me?

Other than couples, who would give sexy underwear to friends?

Dong Xuebing and Jiang Fangfang are not even friends. She is his leader. How can a subordinate give his leader sexy underwear?

F**k!

I’m finished…

This is too embarrassing.

Jiang Fangfang sat on the couch calmly. Dong Xuebing could not tell her what she thought from her facial emotions. This was her character. It seemed that nothing could interest her.

Dong Xuebing does not know what she was thinking.

Dong Xuebing must say something. This would affect her impression of her. He must explain to her. “Sorry, Sis Jiang. It’s a misunderstanding. Why… why is it underwear? Is it from that bag?”

Jiang Fangfang nodded. “What’s wrong?”

Dong Xuebing explained. “I thought it was a blazer and asked you to put it on. I… I came back alone and could only bring so many things. I repacked the gifts to fit my luggage and mixed them up.”

Jiang Fangfang looked at him. “Blazer?”

“Yes.” Dong Xuebing quickly searched the packages on the table and took out a box. He opened it, and it was a beautiful white blazer. “This is the correct gift for you. I… I made a fool of myself.”

Jiang Fangfang laughed. “I was confused. Why did you insist on me to try the underwear.” 

Dong Xuebing’s face was red. “It’s my fault. Sorry.”

“It’s fine.” Jiang Fangfang stood up and took the blazer. “I can try this. Let me put it on.”

Jiang Fangfang wore a white blazer and walked to a small mirror. “Not bad.”

Dong Xuebing said. “It fits you. I know you are slim, and I bought a slim-cut blazer.”

Jiang Fangfang looked at herself in the mirror and said. “The color and design is nice. It matches well with this pair of pants. I like it. Thank you.”

Dong Xuebing smiled. “I’m glad you like it.”

Jiang Fangfang took off the blazer and kept it. “Thank you.”

“Don’t mention it. You gave me a belt, too.” Dong Xuebing said. “I wanted to get a belt, and I got one now.”

They sat on the couch.

The box of underwear was on the coffee table. Dong Xuebing felt awkward when he saw it. He tried to change the subject. “Did you call me back for tomorrow’s Party Committee meeting?”

Jiang Fangfang nodded. “Yes.”

Dong Xuebing asked. “Are we going to decide how we will use the funds from the Central Government?”

Jiang Fangfang nodded. “I asked Xiao Li to check out the townships these few days. We consolidated some data and understood the situation of the towns. The old saying, ‘build roads first if you want to get rich,’ is true. But we cannot make the towns and villages wealthy overnight. It will increase their standard of living slightly. This is not a large sum of money, but we can’t repair all the roads. We will repair the critical roads first. Our County had been thinking of repairing these roads for many years.”

Both started discussing work.

Mayor Jiang wants Dong Xuebing to support her during the meeting.

Dong Xuebing agreed. “We should repair the roads leading out of the County. I find it tough to drive here in a Land Rover, let alone other cars.”

“Yes. This is critical and should not be delayed.”

“Yes. It’s not too much to spend all the money on road repairs.”

“This is impossible. We got to see how much we can get during the meeting.”

They talked about the road repairs for a while and agreed.

It was after 8 p.m. after they finished their discussion.

Jiang Fangfang stood up. “All right. I should be going.”

“Ok. Let me walk you out.” Dong Xuebing stood up and passed the blazer package to her. “Don’t forget your clothes.”

“Ok.”

“Tea leaves, too.”

“I have them with me. You don’t need to come outside.”

Dong Xuebing was about to walk to the door when he noticed Jiang Fangfang did not move. She was looking at the package with underwear. She asked. “Is this a gift for someone?”

“Ah? No.”

“Why did you get it if it is not a gift?”

“Err… this…”

Dong Xuebing could not reply. His wife is not around, and he cannot say it is for her. He also could not say it was not a gift. Why would a man buy women’s underwear?

Jiang Fangfang did not ask further. She picked up the package and said something shocking. “How about you give me these?”

Dong Xuebing stuttered. “Give… give you?”

Jiang Fangfang took out her wallet. “I saw the size earlier. It’s my size, and I like the color and style. I lack something like this. Moreover, I tore the packaging earlier. You cannot give it out as gifts now. How much is it? I will buy it from you.”

Dong Xuebing quickly said. “The packaging does not matter. It’s fine.”

Jiang Fangfang calmly replied. “I like this set of underwear. We cannot get this brand in our Provincial Capital. This should be the latest design from La Perla. There are many international top underwear brands around. But only La Perla from the top five brands is available in Beijing. How much is it?”

“You can take it if you like them.”

“No. This is something expensive, and you bought them for someone.”

“I am not giving them to anyone… I… I bought it for you. Please take it.”

Jiang Fangfang looked at Dong Xuebing. “It is for me?”

“Ah… yes…” Dong Xuebing mumbled.

Jiang Fangfang nodded and kept her wallet. She paused for a second and picked up the underwear package. “I am taking it. Thank you.”

She accepted it!

Dong Xuebing was dumbfounded. He gave his leader underwear, and she accepted it. This… this is too awkward.
