Chapter 550 –The beautiful District Mayor Changing!
Wednesday.
7 am. The sun is up and shining through the windows.
Dong Xuebing yawned and sat up on his bed. He scratched his leg and checked the time while scratching his head. Before stepping out of his room, he took a small bottle of medicated oil and applied it on the mosquito bites on his legs.
Dong Xuebing went to the bathroom and started brushing his teeth when he remembered something. The pair of lacy red underwear is still hanging behind the door.
That’s right. District Mayor Geng Yuehua is still around!
How can I forget about her?!
Dong Xuebing quickly washes his face, and it dry with the same towel. He rushed back to his room and put on his clothes. That towel has not dried completely, and Geng Yuehua’s smell lingers on his face. He looks at the guestroom and goes to the kitchen.
Dong Xuebing started preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
After a while, the guestroom’s door opened.
Dong Xuebing was beating an egg. “Good morning, Mayor Geng.”
Geng Yuehua tightened her bathrobe and nodded.
“Please wait for a while. Breakfast will be ready soon.” Dong Xuebing smiles. “Are you fine with omelet?”
Geng Yuehua looks at Dong Xuebing. “I am fine with anything. Thank you.” She saw herself from a small mirror in the living room. Her hair is in a mess because she had gone to bed before drying her hair. She frowned. “Is it fine for me to use your bathroom?”
“Go ahead. Should I wait for a while before I cook breakfast?”
“It will only take a few minutes.” Geng Yuehua enters the bathroom.
Dong Xuebing suspects Geng Yuehua is not wearing anything under her bathrobe, and he continues making breakfast.
Very soon, the sound of a shower started, and the beautiful Mayor started bathing again.
One minute….
Two minutes….
Three minutes….
Dong Xuebing had finish heating the milk in the microwave when the bathroom door opened. He looked over and saw Geng Yuehua coming out. Water is dripping from her hair, and she seems to have washed her hair again. She finished bathing in three minutes again!? He is speechless. He had seen how she does things and is used to her bathing so fast. He immediately fries three eggs and takes them out with two glasses of milk.
“Breakfast is ready.”
“Ok.” Geng Yuehua sat at the dining table.
Dong Xuebing passed her the chopsticks. “Have a taste and see if it is to your liking.”
Geng Yuehua ate a small piece. “…. Not bad.”
“Good.” Dong Xuebing smiled and sat down.
Geng Yuehua is a very stern woman. She doesn’t smile or joke and does things fast. She finished her eggs and milk when Dong Xuebing was halfway done with his milk. “… lend me your phone.”
“Ok.” Dong Xuebing passed her his iPhone 4S.
Geng Yuehua dialed a number. “Hello, Xinke? It’s me. Where are you now?”
Dong Xuebing quickly finished eating and started clearing the dishes. It is almost 8 am, and he quickly goes into the bathroom to shave.
Bzzz… bzzz… bzzz…
After shaving, Dong Xuebing took the towel to wipe his face. The towel is damper than this morning, and it still feels warm. Geng Yuehua should have used his towel again. He lifts his shirt, and the dark red underwear is no longer hanging there. She must have worn it again despite it is not dry. It must be uncomfortable to put on damp underwear. Sigh… why am I keep thinking about her underwear?
“Xiao Dong.” Geng Yuehua called from outside of the bathroom.
“Huh?” Dong Xuebing puts his shaver aside. “What is it?”
Geng Yuehua puts down the mobile phone and looks at Dong Xuebing. “My parents are coming over in ten minutes to pass me the spare keys.”
Dong Xuebing nodded. “Then….”
Geng Yuehua looks down at her bathrobe. “Where are your clothes?”
“My clothes?” Dong Xuebing thought for a while. “It’s in the bedroom’s closet.”
“Lend me a set of clothes.” Geng Yuehua did not wait for his reply and walked towards the main bedroom. “Do you have suits or anything I can wear?”
Ah? Do you want to wear my clothes?
Dong Xuebing quickly reply. “Yes. Let me check.”
“Anything will do.” Geng Yuehua replied firmly. “I will wash it and return to you in a few days.”
“It’s only a few pieces of clothing. It doesn’t matter….” Dong Xuebing felt it was weird to ask her to keep it and quickly say. “You can return it to me without washing. Let’s see… how about this pair of pants and this shirt? Try it and see if it can fit.”
“Can.”
Dong Xuebing saw her nodding and took out the clothes for her. He closed the door behind him and understood why she wanted to wear his clothes now. Her parents are coming over, and she cannot let them know she had spent the night at his place in a bathrobe. She is a woman, after all, and people might gossip.
Geng Yuehua bath fast, and she also changes fast.
Within two minutes, Geng Yuehua walks out of the bedroom in Dong Xuebing’s shirt and pants.
White shirt, black pants, and slippers.
Dong Xuebing and Geng Yuehua are around the same height, but his waist is wider than hers. But his butt is smaller than her, and it’s the same for his chest. His clothes are not fitting on her, and the pants seem to be quite tight. The buttons on the shirt also seem to be popping. She had rushed out of her bathroom yesterday and did not wear her bra. He can see two reddish spots through the thin shirt fabric.
She is not wearing a bra under the shirt!
Dong Xuebing quickly looks away.
Geng Yuehua should have noticed Dong Xuebing’s gaze and looks down. She turned and returned to the bedroom. About thirty seconds later, she walks out again with a jacket. The jacket is fitting and covers up her chest and butt. No one can tell that this is not her jacket.
Dong Xuebing said. “Haha… This jacket looks nicer on you.”
Geng Yuehua replied emotionlessly. “I had wanted to return the clothes to you this evening after washing them. But I guess it will take a few days. This Italian suit which cost over a hundred thousand, cannot be washed in the washing machine.”
Over a hundred thousand?
Dong Xuebing doesn’t know how much this set of clothes costs, as Xie Huilan ordered it from overseas. “It’s alright.”
Geng Yuehua waved her hand and did not continue.
They heard footsteps outside of the apartment.
“Yuehua? Yuehua?” An old woman shouted.
“That’s settled.” Geng Yuehua walks over and opens the door. Her parents are outside, but she still has a poker face. “…. You all are finally back.”
The old man standing outside frowned. “Where are your keys? Did you lose it?”
“This apartment…” The old woman looks at Dong Xuebing’s apartment.
Dong Xuebing walks over to the door with a smile. “Good morning, Uncle and Auntie. I am Guang Ming Subdistrict Office’s Dong Xuebing. I am newly transferred to Nan Shan District and didn’t have time to visit you all. I will visit you with gifts in a few days.” He is polite to them because they are the District Mayor’s parents.
Geng Yuehua’s mother smiles. “Don’t mention it.”
Geng Yuehua’s father kept looking at Dong Xuebing without saying anything.
Geng Yuehua’s parents gave Dong Xuebing the feeling that they are highly educated and look wiser. But they might know Geng Xinke and him are not on good terms and looks wary of him. He can feel they do not have a good impression of him.
Geng Yuehua opens the door with the spare key.
Geng Yuehua’s mother asked. “Why are the windows all opened, and the lights are still on?”
“There’s a gas leak last night, and I opened the windows to air the place.”
Geng Yuehua’s father asked. “Why is there a gas leak again? Didn’t the gas company check the pipes yesterday? Are you alright?”
“I am fine.”
“Last night?” Geng Yuehua continued. “If you left your keys at home, where did you spend the night yesterday?”
Geng Yuehua took a glance at Dong Xuebing. “…. I returned to my apartment at the District Party Committee Family Quarters and came over to wait for you all this morning. I had just taken breakfast at Xiao Dong’s place.”
Her mother nodded and looked at Dong Xuebing. “Thank you, Xiao Dong.”
Dong Xuebing quickly reply. “It’s just a breakfast.”
Dong Xuebing knows Geng Yuehua is lying to prevent gossip, but he is still shocked by how she lies without batting an eyelid!
