Chapter 1331

Seeing Zheng Jie nod and agree to "find a place to talk" with him alone, Zhao Desan felt as if he had won the lottery, feeling happy beyond measure. So, taking advantage of the fact that the unit hadn't finished work yet, he quietly took Zheng Jie out of the Construction Committee, found a tea house nearby, and sat down at a table by the window. After ordering drinks, the two began to chat.

Sitting in the tea house, Zheng Jie sipped her tea, looking around from time to time at the elegant environment. This quiet atmosphere and the soft music surrounding them made her feel that this ambiance was very romantic. Women are emotional creatures; there isn't a woman who doesn't like romance. But Zheng Jie, who had been married for seven or eight years, had almost never been brought to such an environment because Zhao Da was too stingy. This was the first time in all her years of marriage that she had sat in such a romantic environment chatting with a man who wasn't her husband. Thinking of this, Zheng Jie couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile.

Observing the subtle changes in Zheng Jie's expression, Zhao Desan asked with concern: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

"Nothing... nothing at all." Zheng Jie smiled faintly, took a sip of tea, and looked out the window with a distant gaze.

The subtle changes in Zheng Jie's expression couldn't be hidden from Zhao Desan's keen observation. Knowing she must have something on her mind, he said: "Sister-in-law, since you're already sitting here, just tell me what's on your mind. Don't treat me as an outsider; I never treated you as an outsider." Zhao Desan was mentally eliminating her guard against him.

Zheng Jie smiled, brushed back her ear-length short hair, and said: "To tell you the truth, Xiao Zhao, I've been married for so many years, and today is the first time I've sat in such a place talking to a man, and a man who has nothing to do with my life at that. Your Brother Zhao has never brought me to such a place."

Zhao Desan didn't take in anything else, but that phrase "a man who has nothing to do with me" made him anxious for a moment, and he said: "Sister-in-law, you can't say that; how could I have nothing to do with you?"
