Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1124: Chapter 662: Outing / Unexpected News

At the beginning of December in Xiangshan City, it was already bitterly cold. The bare branches along the roads shrank and shivered with the cold wind, adding even more desolation to this little place on the Yu Bei Plain.

The car bumped along the road, and the cold wind howled in through the door gaps. Even Luo Ye, with her excellent physical condition, couldn’t help but shrink her neck.

Ye Xuan tightened his arm around her, his eyes full of distress. He had already wrapped all his clothes around her, but the cold wind blowing in was truly bone-chilling.

Luo Ye smiled awkwardly: "I’m fine, it’s just that when the wind blows in, I instinctively want to shrink. Actually, I’m not cold."

Ye Xuan smiled wryly and explained: "Xiangshan City is a poor place. The City Government only has seven cars in total—one van and six cars, all equipped from the late 90s.

In other places, the cars could still be okay after six or seven years, but Xiangshan City’s roads are extremely poor, so now, not a single car doesn’t leak wind.

If I had known Ye’er was coming, I should have had the car sent over from home, alas..." he sighed as he warmed Luo Ye’s cold, reddened cheeks with his big hands.

Luo Ye giggled: "Are you annoyed I’m tagging along?" Originally, Ye Xuan wanted her to wait for him at the office, but she insisted on coming along.

"I couldn’t be happier for Ye’er to be with me, but the weather is too cold. Ye’er has never stayed in such a place before; how can you adjust so quickly? When I first came, I also felt cold, but now I’m used to it, so it doesn’t feel that bad." Ye Xuan said, pulling her closer, as if he wished he could tuck her into his embrace.

Luo Ye awkwardly squirmed: "I’m not that delicate, I’ll be fine once I adjust."

"Be good, don’t fuss!" Ye Xuan simply pulled the coat up, covering her small face too, so the wind that got in wasn’t so biting.

The driver up front, Xiao He, and the secretary, Yu Hewei, were wide-eyed.

When Mayor Ye first came to Xiangshan City, all the female members, regardless of age, rank, or whether they were just little soldiers, raised their fashion budgets significantly.

Of course, most were sensible and just wanted to admire, but a few had more serious intentions.

Like the deputy office director, Nie Aixue.

Nie Aixue was twenty-five this year. Her father was the Governor of Yu Province, and she came to Xiangshan City to work, frankly, to add a golden feather to her cap.

Nie Aixue, a graduate of the BD Chinese Department, was not only very talented but also a great beauty. Her figure was slender, her skin as white as snow, with the elegance of a southern woman.

Because her own conditions were too excellent, ordinary guys couldn’t catch Nie Aixue’s eye. However, her parents doted on her and had no intention of compromising their daughter for family prospects, so to this day, Nie Aixue was still single.

Xiao He and Yu Hewei knew these things, not because they liked to pry into others’ privacy, but because Nie Aixue’s parents deliberately leaked this information.

The Nie family’s parents did this to make it clear that excellent young men could freely pursue Nie Aixue. As long as their beloved daughter nodded, they wouldn’t stand in the way.

Such an open-minded political family is truly rare, so for a time, Nie Aixue’s desk was piled high with fresh flowers every day.

Unfortunately, after half a year, no one dared to keep trying. The reason was simple: Nie Aixue would force whoever sent the flowers to eat them. Cough, the flowers looked nice, but they were truly hard to stomach, and it was too embarrassing...

Everyone privately speculated that, given Eldest Miss Nie’s standards, few men could pique her interest. It would be a great pity if such a beautiful girl ended up an old maid...

But no one expected things to change.

The excellence of Mayor Ye quickly stirred the strings of admiration in Eldest Miss Nie’s heart; even a fool could tell what her looks meant when she looked at Mayor Ye.

It’s said that a man chasing a woman is like climbing a mountain, but a woman chasing a man is like a mere veil apart. Such a talented man and beautiful woman were surely a perfect match—or so everyone thought. Yet, the way things turned out really shocked everyone.

One day, Eldest Miss Nie brought a document for Mayor Ye to sign. Mayor Ye glanced at it and firmly told her that she should handle such trivial matters herself. If she couldn’t even handle such small things as an office director, she might as well resign.
