Chapter 342

Yu Wei didn't care at all about my request. He turned on the car stereo and turned back to say, "County Magistrate, do you want to smoke?"

I shook my head, but Yu Wei couldn't see. He had already turned back and was focusing intently on the road ahead. He had made two round trips to Hengyue City in one afternoon; it would be a lie to say it wasn't hard work.

I said, "It's hard work for you, Xiao Yu."

He smiled and said easily, "It's nothing, I'm taking the highway now, it's fast."

I asked in surprise, "The highway is open?"

"No. But the rough road is out. It's wide, and except for not paving it with cement, everything is done," Yu Wei said enthusiastically, "Others don't dare to drive on it, and they don't let people drive on it. But whose car is this? It's Deputy County Magistrate Chen's. Once they heard that, they naturally let me pass."

He was about to continue chattering on, but I hummed. He quickly shut his mouth, and after a while, asked me, "County Magistrate, which road are we taking now?"

"Just take the road you came back on," I said, closing my eyes to doze off.

"County Magistrate, this Old Li I went to pick up, it's like he's not his own son, he's not anxious at all." He was still talking. It seems Yu Wei is a chatterbox, his mouth can't stop. Such a person has no schemes, but cannot be heavily used. Who knows when his big mouth will go out and talk nonsense?

I thought this to myself, so I didn't intend to continue talking to him.

Yu Wei, however, didn't want to lose this opportunity to talk, even though he was my full-time driver, after all, we had known each other for less than ten hours.

"County Magistrate, you seem even more anxious than him," Yu Wei giggled.

"What are you laughing at?" I asked unhappily, with a hint of anger.

He seemed to sense my displeasure, quickly shut his mouth, and drove his car seriously.

I must change drivers! I thought. The first thing to do when returning to Chunshan County is to find the County Government Office Director and change the driver! It's not that Yu Wei is a bad person, but I felt a danger in him that I couldn't see. Yu Wei used to drive for high-ranking officials and had long ago learned how to observe people's expressions.

A person who is a leader's driver must be sparing with words.

No leader will discuss matters with a driver, nor will any leader tell a driver their worries. In the eyes of a leader, a driver should be a machine, and a silent machine at that; they must know how to be quiet.

A leader has limited time in the car, and this time in the car is the leader's time for contemplation to cope with continued work. No leader wants this time to be disturbed. I am no exception, because I am also a leader now!

I raised my hand to look at my watch; the hour hand was already pointing at one.

Passing Chunshan County, we didn't stop and headed straight for Hengyue City.

Not long after leaving the city, Li Lian called and asked where I was.

I said, "I'm going to Hengyue City, I won't go there to get the keys tonight. If it's convenient, just return the keys to the government office."

Li Lian hesitated on the phone and said stiffly, "It's not convenient!"

I smiled and said softly, "As you wish!"

After hanging up her phone, a smile spread across my cheeks. Her look of embarrassment turning into anger appeared in my mind! Li Lian, this woman, is also a woman without schemes, giggling and flirting all day long, but her lust is on her lips, not in her heart.

Otherwise, given her relationship with Deng Hanyu, they should have been sleeping in the same bed long ago. But she held the bottom line, and even though she and Lao Mo had both thought about borrowing a seed, she braked at the last moment.

And I, however, was the only man besides Lao Mo who had touched her.

Li Lian is charming and sexy, and no man is unmoved. Therefore, Lao Mo is like holding a precious porcelain vase all day long, afraid that if he slips, it will be smashed to pieces. Lao Mo is afraid of his wife; this is a household name in Chunshan County. But being afraid of one's wife seems to be an excellent tradition in Chunshan County, and men take pride in being afraid of their wives.

Thinking of this, I smiled, took a cigarette out of my pocket, and just as I put it to my mouth, Yu Wei handed over the lighter.

This kid! He has been observing me all along! I paused in my heart and became vigilant.

"Go back to the county! Not going anymore," I said, opening the car window to let the cold wind in.

Yu Wei was startled by my decision and subconsciously stepped on the brakes. The car slid for a distance and stopped.

"Not going?"

"Not going!" I said, "Go home!"

I saw Yu Wei's hesitant expression. He turned the car around and drove back along the road we had just come from.

"Go to the dormitory allocated to me by the government office," I said, not looking at him. Given Yu Wei's cleverness, he should have known where my dormitory was long ago; there was no need for me to tell him.

"Alright!" he responded happily.

Even if I don't go, I still have to make the call.

After Yu Wei dropped me off downstairs, I waved for him to leave.

Yu Wei was still hesitating, and I said unhappily, "Do you want to go home with me?"

Yu Wei laughed and asked, "County Magistrate, when should I come to pick you up tomorrow morning?"

"Follow the rules," I said, and went straight into the building.

The county government family building is a six-story building with no elevator.

My home is on the fourth floor. Li Lian had told me.

The hallway was equipped with voice-activated lights; if your footsteps were heavy, the light on top would turn on.

I stood at Li Lian's door and rang her doorbell.

After a few dings, I felt a pair of eyes looking out through the peephole. Then the door opened, and Li Lian, wearing a sexy nightgown, stood inside, looking at me with a pleasant surprise and a smile.

I stole a glance at her. Her pink nightgown hung loosely on her body, and her breasts, without a bra, were snow-white and dazzling. On her feet was a pair of fluffy slippers, and her delicate ankles looked like exquisite white jade in the fluff.

"What are you looking at?" She blushed shyly and reached out to pull me, "Come in."

I glanced inside the room but didn't move my feet.

Li Lian seemed to see my concerns and lowered her voice, "He's not home, he's on duty. It's just me."

I smiled and said, "Give me the keys."

"Don't want to come in and sit for a while?"

I shook my head.

Li Lian's eyes turned red, and she lowered her eyelashes and said, "Afraid I'll eat you?"

I said quietly, "I don't know who will eat whom yet!"

As I said this, I reached out to her for the keys, but my feet wouldn't take a single step inside.

Li Lian turned around angrily to get the keys, but instead of giving them to me, she walked straight to my door, twisted the lock, and turned on the lights in the room.

As soon as the lights were on, I was immediately startled by the furnishings in the room. A plasma TV stood against the wall, a set of brown leather sofas was placed in the middle of the room, a glass coffee table was in front of the sofa, and a snow-white rug of unknown fur was spread under the coffee table.

This is a three-bedroom house, and the living room area is at least forty square meters. In our Chunshan County, there are not many people who can enjoy such treatment.

One of the three bedrooms was made into a study, with a large desk, a beautiful black leather swivel chair, and a row of bookshelves against the wall, which already had many brand-new books in them. One was made into my bedroom, a bedroom with a bathroom, with a large bed in the middle of the room, covered with a festive red quilt. The bed sheet, however, was snow-white, and it was not the same texture as the bed sheets in the County Party Committee Hotel; this bed sheet was much more high-end.

"Satisfied?" Li Lian was still angry and asked me, still pouting.

I nodded, feeling a burst of surprise in my heart. It wasn't the surprise of the layout in front of me, but the feeling of the weight of an official.

"I arranged it all," Li Lian said happily, "Especially the quilt on your bed, I chose it myself, is it okay?"

"Good, very good!" I glanced at her sideways. Li Lian was still in a nightgown, but she had a coat draped over her upper body, and I could still see her beautiful, spring-like body. If someone saw her like this in my house, what kind of rumors would spread?

I was startled and said softly, "Sister-in-law, you should go back and rest."

Li Lian clearly felt that I was showing her the door, and she frowned unhappily and said, "I don't need you to chase me away, I'll go."

After saying that, she turned around and walked back, her plump, round buttocks swaying gracefully in her nightgown.

After seeing Li Lian off, I threw my body onto the sofa, kicked off my shoes, and started calling my aunt.

I called once and no one answered, and called again and no one answered. I got angry, threw my phone into the sofa, and cursed, "Damn aunt, sleeping so soundly!"

Just as I wanted to curse again, the phone rang. I picked it up and saw it was my aunt.

I pressed the answer button and heard my aunt's voice on the phone, lowered to a whisper, "It's the middle of the night, why are you calling? You little ancestor!"

I laughed and didn't say a word.

My aunt got anxious, her voice trembling inexplicably, and she asked me, "Little ancestor, are you okay?"

Only then did I pretend to be very uncomfortable and say, "Aunt, I can't sleep."

"Where are you? Can't sleep," my aunt asked me.

"At home."

"Which home?"

"The new home in the county government," I said, looking very proud. Now that I am a Deputy County Magistrate, would my aunt not be happy?

"I know!" my aunt said frankly, "I've been there. I'm familiar with it."

"What should I do?" I said, "I really can't sleep, Aunt."

My aunt sighed on the phone and said, "I can't help it either! I'm in the city, your uncle just came back, he's drunk. I can't keep you company."

She paused for a moment, then turned around as if she had discovered a new continent and said, "How about I ask Xiao Mi to go and keep you company and talk to you?"

I was taken aback and quickly refused my aunt's kindness.

My aunt teased me, "Xiao Feng, you little ghost, don't I know how many roundworms are in your heart? Don't say you're just a small Deputy County Magistrate, even if you were the Provincial Governor, you wouldn't be able to escape your aunt's fiery eyes."

"Do you want me to call Xiao Mi? She is staying at the Chunshan County Hotel."

"No!" I said firmly, "Except for you, I don't want to see anyone right now."

After I said this, I heard my aunt's faint sigh from the receiver, and then she hung up the phone.

This half-day felt as long as a century. I transformed from a small town mayor into a Deputy County Magistrate, and also concurrently served as the Party Committee Secretary of a town. In the history of Chunshan County, I am the only one.

I felt countless pairs of eyes staring at me from behind, so much so that when I got up, I didn't even know which leg to step out with first.
