Chapter 1223

Ma Li quickly put on the clothes she had selected. The top was a khaki trench coat, inside was a thin black sweater with white lace trim, and the bottom was a pair of golden velvet straight-leg slim-fit pants. She wore a pair of black high heels. The color and style of the clothes complemented each other, making her mature and exuding a touch of amorous and intellectual temperament. The high heels made her already tall figure even more firm and graceful. The white lace collar at the neckline looked particularly bright against the dark tones, like a divine touch. The whole person really had an indescribable feeling, as if all the words that could describe female beauty could be found on her—amorous, intellectual, and charming, as if they were natural and innate.

Ma Li looked at herself in the mirror, a satisfied smile appearing at the corners of her mouth. Suddenly, seeing Zheng Tulu sleeping in the mirror, she immediately restrained her smile, quietly picked up her small leather bag from the sofa by the bed, and walked out on tiptoe.

After coming out of the house and going downstairs, Ma Li drove the car out of the residential area, but she was a bit unsure where to meet Zhao Desan. She had never cheated outside before, and at first, she didn't think about getting a room. After driving out of the residential area, she really didn't know where to go, so she sent a message to Zhao Desan: Xiao Zhao, I... where should I wait for you?

Receiving the message from Ma Li, Zhao Desan couldn't help but burst into laughter, thinking to himself whether Ma Li was really ignorant or pretending to be. She was looking for someone to cheat with but didn't know where to go? So, while laughing, he replied with two words: Hotel.

Getting the reminder from Zhao Desan, Ma Li drove to the city center and finally stopped in front of a hotel called "Will You Come Tonight" on an inconspicuous street. Getting out of the car, because this was her first time cheating outside in the true sense, seeing the men and women walking in and out of this hotel arm in arm, she had never come out to get a room before, so she was very nervous and embarrassed. She paced back and forth in front of the hotel door several times with her bag on her back. This was a private hotel. The landlady at the front desk perhaps saw that Ma Li wanted to get a room but was too embarrassed to come in, so she took the initiative to walk out from the bar and asked in a low, sneaky voice: "Beauty, are you here to stay? Our place is not only good in environment but also cheap and comfortable."

Being called a beauty by this sweet-mouthed landlady, Ma Li felt incredibly satisfied. She looked at the hotel. Perhaps because it was her first time out to get a room, she was too worried. She had always seen on the Internet that people who cheat are easily caught by the police as prostitutes, so she subconsciously asked in a low voice: "Is it safe?"

The landlady was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled and said: "Beauty, don't worry, our place is absolutely safe. Let's go, go in, go in and look at the room first, whether to stay or not, we'll talk later." Seeing Ma Li wavering, the landlady pulled her into the hotel.

Ma Li thought since she was already in, she would just get a room. So she hardened her heart, feigned calmness, squeezed out a smile, and said: "No need to look at the room, just give me a... give me a standard room."

"Alright." The landlady said happily, quickly returning to the counter, writing the receipt while asking her: "Beauty, do you want a big bed room?"

Ma Li didn't care about big beds or small beds. Her heart was pounding with nervousness, so she nodded casually and said: "Mm." Her eyes looked outside from time to time, fearing being seen by any acquaintances.

"Do you have your ID card?" The landlady asked with a smile while writing the receipt.

Ma Li was a bit nervous and said "Ah," asking: "Do... do I still need to register my ID card?"

Seeing her nervous appearance, as someone who runs a hotel, the landlady could tell at a glance that she was here to cheat for the first time, so she smiled and said: "Alright, if you didn't bring it, you don't need to register. The room is 150, and the total including the deposit is 300 yuan."

"Oh." Ma Li said "Oh," took out her wallet from her leather bag, pulled out three "Mao Zedong" bills and handed them over. The landlady received the money, handed over the receipt, and said with a smile: "Beauty, take this receipt. When you check out, come down and we'll return your deposit."

"Oh." Ma Li, perhaps because she was too nervous, felt her cheeks flush unconsciously. She took the receipt, stuffed it into her bag, and walked into the elevator nervously and uneasily. Arriving at the door of the room she had opened, she swiped the card to open the door. After entering this strange space, she saw a particularly large bed placed in the center of the room. Because the curtains were drawn, the light in the room was a bit dim, which made her feel a bit uncomfortable, so she turned on the light.

As soon as the room lit up, Ma Li saw a painting on the wall above the head of the bed at a glance. In the painting, two foreign men and women were naked and embracing each other, both looking intoxicated. Seeing this, Ma Li, who was already nervous and uneasy, felt her heart was about to jump out. Her whole body couldn't help but shiver. An indescribable feeling made her feel both nervous and expectant. Withdrawing her gaze from the hot painting on the wall, she walked up and sat upright on the edge of the bed. Her mind began to replay the scene of her and Zhao Desan going crazy at her home that day. While her whole body was trembling slightly, there was a layer of scorching heat.

Just as she was letting her imagination run wild, her phone rang a few times in her leather bag. It should have been a message. She pulled open the leather bag, took out the phone, opened the flip, and found it was a message from Zhao Desan, asking where she was now and why there was no news.

Since calling Ma Li, Zhao Desan had been leaning against the head of the bed waiting for her news, but he had waited for almost an hour, and there was no news. This had originally whetted his appetite, which made him a bit anxious, so he sent a message.

The ashtray on the bedside table was already piled with cigarette butts. Zhao Desan lit another cigarette to wait for Ma Li's news. Perhaps because of nervousness, there was still no news from her for so long, which gave him an uneasy premonition. But fortunately, Ma Li's message came back quickly: I am at the "Will You Come Tonight" hotel on Jiangong Road, room 521. I am waiting for you.

Receiving the message, Zhao Desan felt a sense of pleasant surprise. It seemed Ma Li wasn't trying to play with him on purpose, and the name of that hotel really made him feel a bit funny. "Will You Come Tonight"—the customers of this hotel were clearly adulterers and adulteresses. This Ma Li really knew how to find a place. Knowing that her relationship with him couldn't be seen, she specifically found such a hotel with such an obvious customer group.

Because Ma Li was a charming, middle-aged woman, and because she was Zheng Tulu's wife, Zhao Desan's mood was incredibly excited. Although he had fought three times with He Liping the night before and his body was a bit exhausted, he still dragged his tired body out and drove to the appointment.

On the way, Zhao Desan was suddenly a bit puzzled, thinking why Ma Li would take the initiative to make an appointment with him today? And this was the weekend. According to the situation, Zheng Tulu was at home, and Zheng Ru was also at home. It was the most inconvenient time for her. Thinking of these, Zhao Desan suddenly became confused. To ensure this wasn't a trap deliberately arranged by Zheng Tulu to fix him, he took out his phone and called Zheng Tulu directly. ===== CHAPTER 1224 =====
