Worried about angering Cao Chenxi and incurring Cao Sanjin’s displeasure, Chen Bin quickly explained.
"Back when I was in school, I, uh... overdid it with my hand, so now I have kidney deficiency. I can’t really, you know, get it up anymore."
Retracting her chubby hand, Cao Chenxi asked venomously.
"Kidney deficiency, and you still want to marry ? What, are you planning to make a living widow for the rest of my life?"
Seeing that she believed his nonsense, Chen Bin hurriedly added.
"Don’t worry, I’ve been taking dicine proactively lately. Once I get better, I’ll make it up to you."
With a cold snort, Cao Chenxi stopped speaking.
Then, as if she was suddenly in the mood, she started pleasuring herself.
Hearing her low moans, Chen Bin felt a shiver of dread run through him.
When it ca to sharing a bed with this woman, he genuinely couldn’t perform.
After what seed like forever, Cao Chenxi suddenly let out a thrill-filled scream, her body writhing as she panted heavily.
Judging by the scene, she had reached her peak.
Once the room sank back into silence, Chen Bin finally ended his ordeal and slowly closed his eyes.
The next morning, when Chen Bin got up, he found Cao Sanjin and Jiang Ninghan already waiting for him in the living room.
He secretly guessed that the two of them had been eavesdropping the previous night and mistook Cao Chenxi’s solo activity as the two of them getting intimate.
Cao Sanjin was the first to speak. "Xiao Chen, you and Chenxi aren’t getting any younger. How about we pick a date and get the wedding done?"
Hearing this, Chen Bin’s heart skipped a beat. He quickly replied.
"Secretary Cao, there’s no rush for now, I..."
Before he could finish, Cao Sanjin interrupted him with a laugh.
"Still calling Secretary Cao? From now on, call Father-in-law!"
Nodding reluctantly, Chen Bin had no choice but to push through awkwardly and say.
"Father-in-law, if I marry Chenxi so soon, once people learn about my connection to you, they’ll stop challenging . If my path is too smooth, it won’t serve any purpose for my personal growth."
These words were originally sothing Cao Sanjin himself had talked about, so now that Chen Bin repeated them, he found them very reasonable.
At this mont, however, Jiang Ninghan was displeased.
"Growth is important, but you can’t just avoid marriage altogether, right?"
After so discussion, the three found a compromise: they would get engaged first.
Once Chen Bin’s career stabilized, or Cao Chenxi got pregnant, they could take the next step into marriage.
Listening to their discussion, Cao Chenxi leaned against the doorfra of her room, looking at Chen Bin with undisguised disdain.
While she loved good-looking n, ones who were all face and no function didn’t cut it for her.
Delaying the wedding for as long as possible was certainly a good thing.
At least she wouldn’t have to keep doing everything herself after marrying Chen Bin.
Even the thought of it was unbearable.
At the engagent banquet, the only person Chen Bin invited was Cheng Zhuang.
As a County Secretary, Cao Sanjin dared not hold a lavish event, inviting only a select few attendees.
After the engagent banquet ended, Chen Bin was in high spirits.
After all, Cao Sanjin had promised to officially back him from now on.
To Chen Bin, this was an enormous stroke of good fortune.
After finishing all the ceremonies, Chen Bin had just returned to the County Guest House when Cai Lixia stopped him.
"What have you been up to lately? Barely coming back at all."
Chen Bin explained, "The daughter of an old ntor had her engagent party, so I went to help."
Upon hearing this, Cai Lixia found it believable.
After all, Cai Weiguo had ntioned before that the reason Chen Bin had achieved the role of Deputy County Magistrate at such a young age was due to support from an influential backer.
Now it seed that the "old ntor" Chen Bin referred to was likely that backer.
Seeing Cai Lixia deep in thought, Chen Bin gently pinched her cheek.
"What’s on your mind?"
"Nothing, it’s just that Ye Pei keeps coming to bother every few days. Can you figure out a way to deal with him once and for all?"
Frowning slightly, Chen Bin seed a bit helpless.
"I’m not sure how to handle this either. After all, his father is Ye Hong—we can’t just confront him head-on."
Fixing her gaze on Chen Bin, Cai Lixia’s eyes lit up with delight.
"Actually, I have an idea that could completely solve this problem, but you’ll need to work with ."
"What’s the idea?"
"Marry ! Once we tie the knot, he’ll give up entirely."
It was only now that Chen Bin realized what was going on—she was setting him up!
Seeing Chen Bin staying silent for so long, Cai Lixia looked a bit disappointed.
"What’s wrong, you don’t want to marry ?"
"It’s not that—it’s just that I’m not ready yet. How about giving so ti to think it over?"
"What’s there to think about? We like each other, you’ve t my parents, and we’re the right age. Getting married would just be the natural thing to do."
Feeling cornered, Chen Bin quickly responded again.
"Marriage is a lifelong decision—give so ti. If we just jump into it, it won’t do either of us any good."
"Then how long do you want to think about it?"
"Not long. Once I’ve made up my mind, you’ll be the first to know. Oh, by the way, I’ll talk to Wei Kai and have him block Ye Pei from bothering you again."
Just as Cai Lixia wanted to say more, Chen Bin had already turned and walked away.
By late November, Shiqiao Town’s Party Secretary had been transferred to work in the county, leaving Yao Pang as the new head of Shiqiao Town.
Of course, Chen Bin had played no small part in this.
To celebrate, Yao Pang invited Chen Bin and others for a al.
Thinking that Xiong Wubing was a decent person, Chen Bin brought him along too.
Midway through the al, Xiong Wubing’s phone suddenly rang.
As he hastily took the call, he happened to bump into a drunkard nearby.
The drunkard, unable to keep his balance, fell flat on the ground.
Seeing this, Xiong Wubing quickly went over to help him up.
However, the drunkard grabbed him by the collar and bellowed drunkenly.
"You son of a bitch, are you blind? You dare bump into ?!"
Though frustrated inside, Xiong Wubing knew he was at fault, so he apologized repeatedly.
"I’m really sorry. My family called about an urgent matter, and I wasn’t paying attention."
Seeing how flustered Xiong Wubing looked, the drunkard suddenly stood up, snatched his phone, and smashed it to the ground.
"Damn it, you think you’re better than ’cause you’re on a call? Believe , I’ll kill you!"
As his phone shattered, Xiong Wubing’s expression darkened completely.
"I already apologized—what gives you the right to break my phone?"
The drunkard lifted his head arrogantly and sneered.
"Because my dad is Ye Hong! What the hell are you gonna do about it?"
In truth, Ye Pei did know Xiong Wubing. Though he looked down on him, he normally wouldn’t act this brazenly.
But with his failed pursuit of Cai Lixia leaving him agitated and his drunken state clouding his judgnt, he didn’t even recognize Xiong Wubing in the mont.
Xiong Wubing hadn’t expected the drunkard to be Ye Hong’s son either!
With a cold laugh in his heart, he responded.
"So what if your dad is the County Committee Secretary? You broke my phone, so you’re paying for it!"
"Pay for it? I’ll pay your goddamn ass!"
With a furious roar, Ye Pei swung his fist and charged at Xiong Wubing...
