Chapter 1370: You two are a couple?

In the courtyard.

Many people started discussing.

"What did she say?"

"Did we hear it wrong?"

"No, she said she will stay at Mayor Dong's house."

"Huh, maybe the Deputy Mayor misspoke."

Everyone looked at the female Mayor from Fen Zhou City, wondering why she would say she wanted to stay at Mayor Dong's house in front of so many people. It seemed unusual, and although people might make mistakes, someone in such a position would usually be careful about their words and actions. However, the Fen Zhou City officials showed no change in expression, looking quite natural, leaving the people from Zhen Shui County more puzzled.

Lui Zhi cleared his throat, "At Mayor Dong's place"

Xie Huilan said, "Yes, he won't be home tonight."

"Not that." Lui Zhi blinked, "But at Mayor Dong's house"

County Government Office Director Ma Bin quickly interjected, "I'll arrange a hotel immediately. The environment there is decent. Mayor Xie, what do you think?"

Hotel?

Why should Mayor Xie go to a hotel?

Officials from Fen Zhou City knew there was a misunderstanding.

An Education Department official from Fen Zhou City clarified, "Mayor Xie and Mayor Dong are family." But this explanation was a bit ambiguous.

The people from Zhenshui County suddenly realized.

No wonder she wanted to stay at Mayor Dong's place. They were relatives.

They must be close relatives. Mayor Xie should be Mayor Dong's sister.

But everyone was still puzzled. How come two people with different surnames were siblings?

At this moment, the roar of an engine came from the entrance, and a black Land Rover drove in. Mayor Dong had arrived.

The car stopped.

Dong Xuebing sweated a bit, looking at Xie Huilan, "You didn't tell them?"

"I thought you did." Xie Huilan smiled, "Let's clear things up. They were confused."

Dong Xuebing thought it was indeed confusing. What was going on? Why did she become my sister? So, under the bewildered gaze of everyone, Dong Xuebing pointed at Xie Huilan and introduced, "This is my wife, Xie Huilan."

Stunning revelation.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

What? Such a beautiful woman is your wife?

Moreover, she's a Deputy City Mayor and looks noticeably older than you.

Everyone was shocked beyond belief. This was unexpected for everyone. Suppose Dong Xuebing and Xie Huilan were of similar ages when the officials from Fen Zhou City mentioned them as family. In that case, people might have thought about a marital relationship. However, the age difference was evident; she was a stunningly beautiful Deputy Mayor. So, nobody expected that Mayor Dong would have the fortune of marrying such a high-ranking and beautiful wife.

No way. Is this for real?

But everyone knew that a Deputy City Mayor and a Deputy County Mayor wouldn't joke about such matters.

Meng Rui, Zhang Wanshui, and other County leaders were slightly surprised. No one could easily access Dong Xuebing's file, but Meng Rui had seen it. He vaguely remembered that Dong Xuebing's wife was indeed surnamed Xie and worked in Fen Zhou City. However, Meng Rui didn't remember the details clearly. So, when he heard them say they were family, he thought Mayor Xie was Dong Xuebing's sister.

They are a couple.

Why does it seem a bit off?

Yao Cui and Ma Bin were also stunned for a moment.

Upstairs, Pu An and Jian Xiangrong heard about it and exchanged looks.

Mayor Dong always managed to surprise people time and time again, and this time was no exception.

A man with a limited background and an ordinary appearance managed to marry a woman much older than him and even several ranks higher in position. This seemed almost unbelievable to many. However, it also indirectly demonstrated Mayor Dong's capabilities.

Many people admired him.

Lui Zhi felt embarrassed, "Sorry, Mayor Xie, Mayor Dong, I misunderstood. My apologies."

Xie Huilan smiled with her crescent-like beautiful eyes, "No problem. We don't have the typical husband-wife resemblance, hehe."

"It doesn't look like it at all," Lui Zhi added. "Hey, congratulations to both of you on expecting a child. Let me extend my early congratulations."
