Chapter 1027

After using all his might to return to the office, the moment he pushed the door open and entered, Xia Jian turned his head and questioned him: "Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao, where have you been running off to during work hours?"

"Went out to handle some business," Zhao Desan said, glancing at Zheng Ru. He had specifically greeted Zheng Ru when he left, saying that if anyone asked, he had gone out to handle business. Could it be that this person hadn't told Xia Jian?

Just as Zhao Desan was complaining about Zheng Ru, she gave Xia Jian a look of disgust and said in a flippant tone: "Didn't I say Zhao Desan went out to handle business? Some people really think they are leaders, meddling in things that don't concern them!"

Zhao Desan lowered his head and laughed secretly.

What a personality! Zhao Desan just loved a girl with a personality like Zheng Ru, who never cared for Xia Jian, a guy who considered himself a leader. That she could put aside past grievances to stand up for him made Zhao Desan quite moved.

Xia Jian opened his mouth after being sarcastically remarked upon by Zheng Ru, unable to say a word for a long time. He glared at him angrily and, not to be outdone, raised his voice: "Division Chief Lan is not here now. I am a veteran employee of the Planning Division, and I have the qualifications to discipline you."

Zheng Ru gave a contemptuous snort and said: "What's the use of seniority? Relying on old age to sell old age? If you were really capable, you wouldn't have been a small clerk for five or six years, just like us newcomers."

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Zhao Desan knew the principle of self-preservation, so he didn't participate and quietly returned to his seat to do his own work.

No matter what, Zheng Ru was Zheng Tulu's biological daughter. Even if Xia Jian was dissatisfied with her, he would at most say a few words. As for truly going against her, he didn't have the guts. Besides, Xia Jian felt that he was currently being valued by Zheng Tulu, so he absolutely couldn't offend Zheng Ru. If she went back and poked at Zheng Tulu, wouldn't all his previous efforts be wasted? So Xia Jian softened his stance and said with a smile: "I'm not relying on old age to sell old age. I just feel that since Division Chief Lan is not here, I've worked longer than you all and I'm older than you all. I'm just giving you a reminder; isn't it for your own good?"

Zheng Ru gave him a sidelong glance, curled her lips, and ignored him.

Although everyone knew about the secret infighting, Zhao Desan didn't want to put this kind of struggle on the table. Thinking of seeing Afang at the Construction Committee gate just now, he said to Xia Jian: "Division Chief Xia, you really are blessed. Your wife even comes to see you while you're at work."

Xia Jian looked at him, completely confused: "Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao, what are you saying?"

"I saw Sister-in-law at the Construction Committee gate just now, your wife. She said she came to see you. Division Chief Xia, you really are blessed to have married such a good wife." Zhao Desan praised Afang without knowing the situation.

Xia Jian looked at Zhao Desan in a daze. After a moment, he laughed and didn't say anything, lowering his head to pretend to work, but he felt something was wrong. How could Afang come to the Construction Committee? And she didn't come to find him. Could it be that she went to find Director Zheng?

After getting off work and returning home, Xia Jian had a straight face and looked a bit angry. He threw his leather bag onto the sofa and sat there smoking without saying a word. Hearing the commotion, Afang walked out of the bedroom. Seeing him sitting alone in the living room looking unhappy, she walked up, sat down, and leaned on his shoulder, asking with a gentle smile: "Husband, what's wrong? Why do you look so unhappy today? What happened?"

Xia Jian exhaled a puff of smoke, turned his face, and stared straight at her with eyes like shuttles, asking: "Did you go to our unit before getting off work this afternoon?"

Afang thought about it and knew she must have said the wrong thing when she saw Zhao Desan. Anyway, she couldn't deny it, so she simply nodded and said without changing her expression or skipping a heartbeat: "Yes."

Xia Jian stared at her with displeasure and asked: "What did you go there for? To find Director Zheng?"

Afang was stunned for a moment, then smiled coquettishly without changing her expression: "Yes, how did you know? So smart."

Xia Jian questioned with a dark face: "What did you go to find him for?"

Once the real purpose of going to Zheng Tulu was mentioned, Afang immediately took the initiative, sat up from him, gave him a sidelong glance, and said: "You still have the nerve to ask? You went to find Director Zheng today, didn't you?"

Xia Jian was suddenly a bit confused and nodded: "How did you know?"

Afang gave him a sidelong glance and said: "You still have the nerve to ask? If you want to find him, find him, but you sold me out. I kindly told you about the unit needing a deputy director for the Planning Division, and I didn't say to go find Director Zheng right now. I just heard him say it casually. Who knew you would go find him today to talk about this? Director Zheng called and scolded me, complaining that I couldn't keep my mouth shut and talked nonsense. I went to apologize to Director Zheng in person, and it was all because of you! If it weren't for your sake, would I, a pregnant woman, have run such a long way to apologize to him specifically!"

Afang's tactic of "the thief crying thief" and taking the initiative really worked. Xia Jian immediately felt that he had wronged his wife, so he leaned over affectionately, wrapped his arms around her fragrant shoulders, and said gently: "Wife, I'm sorry, I wronged you."

Afang had fooled Xia Jian so easily, so she gave him a sidelong glance and said: "Who told me, Afang, to be unlucky and marry a man as incapable as you. Hey! Forget it, I accept it. Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog. It's all because I want your work to have some spark sooner."

"Wife, I know you're doing it for my own good, but don't worry, I will definitely achieve some results to show you," Xia Jian said firmly.

Afang looked at him tenderly, buried her head in his chest, and said: "Husband, I believe in you. If I didn't believe in you, why would I have supported you all this time?"

Xia Jian took Afang into his arms, feeling very happy to have married such a considerate and understanding woman as his wife.

After lying in Xia Jian's arms for a while, Afang felt her chrysanthemum starting to have a burning, painful sensation again. Ever since she returned from the Construction Committee in the afternoon, she had felt her chrysanthemum very hot, as if it were being roasted by fire. So she climbed up from Xia Jian's arms, frowned slightly, and said: "Husband, I'm not feeling well."

Xia Jian immediately asked with concern: "Where are you not feeling well?"

"My butt, it's so hot," Afang said shyly. "Help me see what's wrong."

"Then turn around, lie down, and let me see," Xia Jian said.

She said, going with the flow: "Yes, I've had poor digestion lately and can't seem to pass anything."

"It's okay, then I'll go buy you some medicine for digestion." Saying this, Xia Jian helped Afang sit up, then got up and went downstairs to buy her medicine.

What a fool! Living a lifetime with such a man is truly too pathetic! Afang thought to herself.

At this time, Zhao Desan also returned home, took a shower, went back to bed, and applied medicine to his scalded treasure. He specifically put on cotton underwear to protect it and lay on the bed groaning in pain, thinking that it seemed he wouldn't be able to do that with a woman for at least a month or so. It was simply agonizing.

Half an hour later, the living room door knocked. Su Qing walked in, calling him: "Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao, Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao."

"Sister Su, I'm in the bedroom," Zhao Desan responded, pretending to be relaxed.

Su Qing walked over, pushed open the bedroom door, saw him lying on the bed, and said with a faint smile: "Already asleep? Don't want to eat?"

"Don't want to eat, not hungry tonight." His treasure was scalded, so Zhao Desan had no appetite to eat at all.

"Then Sister won't make it, Sister doesn't want to eat either." Su Qing smiled charmingly, turned, and walked to the sofa, put down her leather bag, took off her clothes one by one, and in a while, she was stark naked. She walked into the bathroom, turned on the shower, and took a hot bath, preparing to return to the room in a while to have a good battle with Zhao Desan. For a period of time, Su Qing had been too busy with work and had no energy when she returned at night, so she hadn't had sex with Zhao Desan for several days. With less than a week left until the New Year holiday, the Organization Department had finished the year-end work summary meeting today, and the busyness had come to an end. Su Qing felt she had the energy and interest. She stood under the shower, tilted her face up, and carefully washed her skin inch by inch from top to bottom. ===== CHAPTER 1028 =====
