Chapter 1221: Just Want to See You

Ma Li took the first half of their words to heart, but as a woman educated in traditional values, she dared not even think about the second half. Over the years, Zheng Tulu had become increasingly debauched outside, and she didn't care anymore, as long as he remembered this home and didn't bring a woman's things home. But today, seeing the lipstick mark on Ma Debang's neck, Ma Li's heart collapsed. She couldn't accept that her husband still had traces of intimacy with another woman on him. Alone, she recalled how much she had sacrificed over the years, and now her man not only ignored her but also brought a woman's things home. Thinking of this made her heart very bitter. As a 45-year-old middle-aged woman, Ma Li had kept her figure and appearance very well, looking like a woman in her thirties, radiating a mature charm. She wanted to use this to regain Zheng Tulu's favor, but Zheng Tulu, surrounded by many young and beautiful girls outside, had no interest in this woman he had lived with for more than 20 years, no matter what she did. I don't know why, but thinking of these bitter things and what other leaders' wives had told her, Ma Li's mind suddenly flashed back to the scene of her and Zhao Desan going crazy at home on that day before the New Year. That was the first time in so many years she had had that kind of intimate contact with a man other than her husband, the first time she felt unprecedented happiness, and the first time she enjoyed the power a woman should have. "If it really doesn't work, Ma Li, you just find a young guy. When you want that, take the time to get a room and play. As long as it's not too much, we women are also human and have physiological needs. Why do we only allow those stinky men, those stinky officials, to play with women every day..." The words of a high-ranking official's wife suddenly echoed in her ears.

Ma Li wanted to make a call directly, but such things were impossible to say. So, after thinking for a moment, she sent him a message: Xiao Zhao, can you find time to accompany Sister Ma? Sister Ma feels so empty and lonely, I need your company.

After sending the message, Ma Li felt she cleared the sent box and held her phone, nervously waiting for Zhao Desan's reply. At this time, Zhao Desan, like Zheng Tulu, had just returned home after fighting three times with He Liping at the Pearl Hotel the night before and was exhausted. Hearing his phone vibrate under the pillow behind his head, Zhao Desan impatiently reached out, picked it up, opened his sore eyes, and saw an unfamiliar number (because he hadn't saved Ma Li's number). He opened the message with some curiosity. After reading it, his eyes widened, and all his sleepiness vanished. He woke up, thinking that he hadn't been in contact with Ma Li for more than a month, and the only time was when he was so angry before going to Sanya before the New Year that he conquered her once. She was an extremely traditional woman; how could she take the initiative to contact him? What was going on? He suddenly worried whether Zheng Tulu had discovered something wrong with Ma Li and deliberately used her phone to send him a message to fish for information.

Thinking this way, Zhao Desan kept a guard up. Very vigilant, he thought about it and decided to just call directly. If Zheng Tulu answered, he would pretend to be very surprised and ask him what was going on. If Ma Li answered, he would ask for the truth. So, Zhao Desan sat up, leaned against the head of the bed, and dialed the number directly. After a few rings, the call connected, but no one spoke.

"Hello, is this Sister Ma?" Zhao Desan asked in a calm tone.

Ma Li was hiding in the bathroom with the door locked, answering the phone, and whispered "Mm."

Hearing Ma Li's voice on the phone, Zhao Desan let out a long sigh of relief, but deliberately asked with great surprise: "Sister Ma, what did you mean by the message you just sent? I don't quite understand."

The meaning of Ma Li's message just now was already very clear. A woman telling another man that she is lonely and empty means she needs this man's care and nourishment. This is such an obvious and easy-to-understand thing. Just to test the truth, Zhao Desan deliberately played dumb.

Ma Li was a very traditional woman. Although her feelings for Zhao Desan were strong, she wasn't familiar with him yet. So, she stammered in a low voice: "No... it doesn't mean anything. I just... just want to see you."

Zhao Desan heard that Ma Li's voice seemed a bit bitter, as if she had suffered some blow in her heart. He changed to a concerned tone and asked: "Sister Ma, are you feeling uncomfortable or something? Do you want to find someone to talk to?"

"Mm," Ma Li whispered.

"Where is Director Zheng?" Zhao Desan roughly understood that Ma Li's grievances were related to Zheng Tulu. Because when that incident happened at her home before the New Year, he could clearly feel that Ma Li was like a beast imprisoned for ten thousand years, too eager and too crazy. It must be that old guy Zheng Tulu was out drinking and playing with various beauties, exhausting his energy, and when he returned home, he ignored his wife, Ma Li, causing her to feel not only empty in her heart but also physically hungry. If not for this, how could a woman as traditional as Ma Li take the initiative to send him a message?

"He... he is sleeping. Yesterday... yesterday he didn't come back all night." Thinking of the life where she had spent more than half of her time alone in an empty room over the years, Ma Li felt a bit bitter.

"Then Sister Ma, if you really want to see me, you... you find a place, and I'll come to find you. How about that?" Zhao Desan thought and said.

Seeing that he agreed, Ma Li felt a sense of relief in her heart, but at the same time, it seemed a bit heavy. But that feeling that made her incredibly intoxicated still made her firm in her idea today: find a lover to satisfy her empty life. ===== CHAPTER 1222 =====
