Power and Wealth

Chapter 1598

The next day.

Early in the morning.

As the sky brightened, the snow-white blanket on the business room's large bed stirred slightly, and the sound of yawning filled the air as the two woke up.

"What time is it, Xiaobing?"

"Ah, it's a little after seven."

"It's still quite early. Let's lie down for a while longer."

"I've had enough sleep. Do we have anything planned for today?"

"Not really, it's free time. We don't have to join them."

"Well, let's wander around here alone as if it were our honeymoon."

Seemingly no longer sleepy, Xie Huilan's lips curved into a smile as she got up and leaned back against the head of the bed. She wasn't wearing any clothes, yet she didn't bother to pull up the blanket. Thick-skinned as ever, she seemed. Upon noticing a gap in the curtains over there, although nothing could be seen from the outside, Dong Xuebing still pulled the blanket over her upper body, covering her, and then leaned back, putting his arm around her shoulder.

"Why were you so proactive yesterday?" Dong Xuebing asked.

Xie Huilan smiled as she looked at him. "Weren't you dissatisfied? And then you were satisfied."

Dong Xuebing nodded. "I'm satisfied now. You did well. Keep it up."

With her legs crossed under the blanket, Xie Huilan chuckled, "Flattering me even more, huh? Last night, I even choked with several mouthfuls of water. My nose and throat feel uncomfortable now."

"I'll give you a massage."

"There's no need to be polite; massage my shoulders and waist, too. Letting you toss me around like that yesterday, you didn't give me any face."

"I see you were quite happy."

"Do I seem so?"

"Yes, you're even more proactive than I am."

"Am I embarrassing you?"

"Are you afraid of being embarrassed? When have you ever been shy?"

"Oh, it's as if you're saying I'm shameless. Alright, you understand now; there won't be a next time."

"Hey hey hey, don't be like that."

It was time to get up after teasing each other for a while.

Dong Xuebing let go of her shoulders and slowly sat up. "Let's get up, or we'll miss breakfast."

"Okay." Xie Huilan lazily yawned, swung her legs off the bed, put on her slippers, and went to the bathroom to freshen up.

Dong Xuebing stayed behind. Once she left, he lit a cigarette. But before he could finish it, Xie Huilan returned, covering her nose as she fanned the air. Dong Xuebing knew his wife didn't like the smell of smoke, so he quickly put it out. Seeing her take out the bags from yesterday's shopping, Dong Xuebing said, "Huilan, put on that lingerie you bought yesterday. Not the black one, the red one. You'll look good in it."

"What should I wear on top?"

"A blouse. You like wearing white blouses, don't you?"

"A white blouse with it? The red straps at the back will be visible. Too sexy. People might think I'm up to something."

"Come on, it's just a vacation. There's no need to worry so much."

"I'm still a City party committee secretary. I can't dress too casually. I'll wear the red one, but I'll have to wear a blue blouse on top."

"That works."

"What about pants? Do you have any suggestions, hehe?"

"For pants, uh, how about wearing a skirt?"

"I didn't bring any skirts this time."

"Isn't that long skirt down to the ankles the one we bought yesterday?"

"That's for my mom. I was planning to send it back."

"It suits you, too. I've never seen you wear a more casual skirt before. You always wear either suits or professional attire, and I'm tired of seeing you in professional skirts."

"I am not suitable for long skirts; they are too gentle."

"You look perfect. Try it on quickly."

"Hehe, okay, I'll listen to you today."

Xie Huilan wasn't wearing any clothes, so she immediately put it on after opening the bag and taking out the lingerie. Then came the black stockings. As it was a bit chilly in autumn, she opted for pantyhose. Wrapping herself in the brightly colored floral half-skirt, she finally put on a bright blue long-sleeved women's blouse. She took a few steps forward and slipped into a pair of newly purchased coffee-colored Prada leather shoes.

"How is it?" Xie Huilan smiled.

Dong Xuebing applauded, "Looks great, looks great. You always look beautiful, no matter what you wear. You used to be so conservative. Changing your style is nice. I'm not just flattering you with this outfit; believe me, you'll turn heads when we go downstairs later."

Xie Huilan glanced at herself in the mirror, "Hmm, not bad."

"It's more than just not bad. You're stunning, head to toe. Hmm, tie up your hair. It'll give you more grace. Oh, I'll buy another one for our mom. You keep this skirt for yourself." Dong Xuebing also got out of bed, walked over to her, and couldn't help but pat his wife's buttocks, sincerely feeling that his wife was too beautiful today. As he wrapped his arm around her waist, he became affectionate with her.

Xie Huilan chuckled, "Hurry up and freshen up."

"Okay." Dong Xuebing let go of her and went to the bathroom. "When are we going back?"

Outside, Xie Huilan replied, "About four days later. We won't stay out for long."

"Alright. Am I going back with you guys?"

"There's no need. Just book a plane ticket back to Beijing when the time comes, so you won't have to fly back to Jiangnan Province again."

"Okay, but I still want to go back and see our son."

"Hehe, there will be opportunities to come over in the future. It's not like we won't see him again."

After freshening up, Dong Xuebing also dressed up a bit. But he knew his options were limited, so he had no choice but to wear a relatively stylish casual outfit that barely matched his wife. Of course, this matching was only in terms of color.

Second floor.

Breakfast area.

Many guests were having breakfast downstairs. Most people in Jiangnan Province woke up around this time and were dining in twos and threes.

At this moment, Dong Xuebing and Xie Huilan entered.

It started with one glance, then ten, then a hundred.

Xie Huilan, as beautiful as a celestial being, smiled gracefully as she found a table and sat down.

The difference between luxury and regular brands isn't significant; they're all fashion. However, the difference is also significant; aside from the price, luxury brands' fashion culture and heritage are incomparable to regular brands.

Hou Wen narrowed his eyes.

Master Song and many other men were also stunned.

Even Han Fang and a few female comrades were momentarily stunned.

It seemed like the room's entire focus was on Xie Huilan.

Dong Xuebing picked up a tray and went to get some self-service breakfast. As he passed by Hou Wen, Hou Wen gave him a fierce glare and said, "Xuebing, are you trying to make people jealous of you?"

Today, Xie Huilan looked even more beautiful than yesterday.

Dong Xuebing chuckled at the remark, feeling quite satisfied with his vanity.

The next day.

Early in the morning.
