Chapter 1070 – Yao Cui’s family hospitality
Late afternoon.
End of the workday.
Some staff found out that Yao Cui and Mayor Dong were university classmates and were in the same class. They no longer envied Yao Cui and understood why Mayor Dong picked a pretty secretary.
County Party Committee Building compound.
The lobby of the office building.
Dong Xuebing did not leave. He waited in the lobby.
A while later, Yao Cui walked out of the building. She smiled and walked over to Dong Xuebing quickly. “Mayor Dong, have you finished work?” She was more polite when they were in public compared to earlier. Many County leaders and staff were looking at them, and she got to behave. This was the result of working in the Government service for three years.
Dong Xuebing smiled. “I am waiting for you.”
Yao Cui pretended. “Do you have any orders for me?”
Dong Xuebing replied. “We have not met for so long. Let’s have dinner together. Let’s go.”
Yao Cui laughed and pointed to a bicycle. “But I only got one bicycle.”
Dong Xuebing replied. “Bicycle is fine. We can ride slowly and chat on the way.”
Yao Cui laughed. “Alright. I will get the bicycle. Wait for me.”
Dong Xuebing could wait for Yao Cui outside the Party Committee Building or meet her at her house. But he waited for her at the office building to show everyone she was his former classmate and make sure no one dared to pick on her.
Along the streets.
Dong Xuebing and Yao Cui walked slowly.
There spoke casually because there were no outsiders around.
“Xuebing.” Yao Cui pushed her bicycle. “We are far from my house. It will take at least 40 minutes to walk there.”
“How about I ferry you on the bicycle?”
“Save it. When was the last time you rode a bicycle?”
“Huh? I forgot. I had not ridden a bicycle since I started working.”
“Just hope on if you don’t mind. I will ride.”
“Why should I mind? Do you have the strength to ride with me sitting behind?”
“Let’s try. It should be fine.”
“Haha…. Alright. I am getting on. Be careful.”
Yao Cui straddled the bicycle, and Dong Xuebing sat behind. His right hand wrapped around her slender waist. Her tummy was flat and soft.
The bicycle moved off wobbly, and it was fine after a while.
Yao Cui rode the bicycle towards her house with Dong Xuebing sitting behind.
“Oh, you are good.” Dong Xuebing laughed. “Did you ferry others often on a bicycle?”
Yao Cui replied. “I ferried our Secretarial Section One Xiao Hong a few times. How is it? Does your butt hurt?”
“It’s fine.”
“I am going faster. We are reaching soon.”
A Deputy County Mayor letting a woman ferry him on a bicycle is a bit embarrassing, but Dong Xuebing thought nothing about it. He finds it attractive. Of course, this got to do with the environment. Many County Party Committee Members rode bicycles to work, which is normal in a poor county. He even thought of getting a bicycle tomorrow.
Ten minutes later.
They reached Yao Cui’s house.
Yao Cui stopped the bicycle, and Dong Xuebing was holding his waist. The road was bumpy, and his butt hurt.
Yao Cui laughed. “Are you ok?”
Dong Xuebing clenched his teeth. “It’s nothing.”
“Haha…. Let’s rest inside.” Yao Cui pushed the bicycle forward and knocked on the door. “Dad, Mum!”
“Yes. We are coming.”
The door opened, and Yao Cui’s parents came out.
“You are back, Cui Er.”
“Oh, Xiao Dong is here too.”
“I am here to trouble you again, Aunty and Uncle.” Dong Xuebing said.
Yao Cui’s parents looked behind and saw no one else. They asked. “Cui Er, where is your leader? Why is he not here?”
Yao Cui smiled. “Let’s talk inside.”
In the courtyard.
Yao Cui parked her bicycle by the wall.
Yao Cui’s parents looked at Yao Cui anxiously. “Cui Er, is your promotion confirmed?” Yao Li also came out of his room.
Yao Cui smiled. “Yes.”
Yao Cui’s father laughed. “Fantastic.”
Yao Cui’s mother was overjoyed. “Come in, Xiao Dong. I am cooking. We are going to celebrate Cui Er’s promotion tonight.”
Yao Cui replied. “Mum, Dad, Brother. Let me introduce Xuebing to you all.”
Yao Cui’s father was stunned. “Didn’t you introduce Xiao Dong to us before?”
“I need to introduce him again.” Yao Cui pointed to Dong Xuebing. “Xuebing is also a civil servant and transferred to our Zhen Shui County as our Executive Deputy County Mayor.”
“Ah?!”
“What?!”
Yao Cui’s parents were stunned.
Yao Cui laughed. “It was Xuebing who promoted me. He was behind it.”
Dong Xuebing smiled. “Sorry, Aunty, Uncle. I did not tell you all. I don’t mean to hide it from you all. I will drink a few glasses more as punishment.”
Yao Cui’s father gasped. “Xiao Dong, are you that young Mayor everyone is talking about?”
Dong Xuebing quickly replied. “Err…. It’s deputy.”
Yao Cui’s mother exclaimed. “It’s you. Ah….”
Yao Li, who just came out from his room, was stunned.
Yao Cui said. “You all continue to talk. I will cook dinner today.”
Yao Cui’s parents did not care about their daughter and continued to talk to Dong Xuebing. “Xiao Dong…. Ah, no…. Mayor Dong. Please sit here.”
Yao Cui’s father said anxiously. “Yes… yes… yes…. Stop standing there, Xiao Li. Go and bring a cup of tea for Mayor Dong. Hurry!!”
