Chapter 1423

Perhaps the touch of innocence was too great. Seeing Nini's innocent appearance, Zhao Desan felt that his selfless contribution was completely worth it. At the very least, he had done a good deed, and most importantly, he had once again proven a man's charming appeal in front of Zheng Jie. He stepped forward, bent down, pinched Nini's round cheek, and said with a smile: "Nini, get well, listen to your mother, and Uncle will often bring you delicious food, okay?"

Nini's face bloomed with a bright smile, and she nodded hard: "Um."

Zheng Jie, who was standing on the side, saw her daughter's sensible appearance, and a warm smile bloomed on her face. Looking at her husband Zhao Da, who was like a useless person lying on the hospital bed, a worried expression appeared on her face again. She whispered to Zhao Desan: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, then... then Sister-in-law will go pay the fee first, you stay here and talk to Nini, I'll come back immediately after paying." After saying this, she felt that it was not very good to accept Zhao Desan's help directly without saying anything, so she added: "But Comrade Xiao Zhao, don't worry, even if Brother Zhao can't work and earn money in the future, Sister-in-law, even if I have to work like an ox or a horse, will pay you back."

What a charming and strong young woman. Looking at Zheng Jie, such a beautiful young woman, having such a strong heart, made Zhao Desan feel truly fond of her. He turned his head to Zheng Jie, who was serious, and said with a light smile: "Sister-in-law, hurry up and pay the fee, don't worry about the money."

"Then... then I'm going." Zheng Jie was perhaps infected by Zhao Desan's righteous behavior, looked at him with very affectionate eyes, and walked out of the ward with the card.

Although Zhao Da was currently almost disabled, his brain was not damaged, and his eyes could see things clearly. From the day his wife Zheng Jie came to the unit to find him, Zhao Desan's performance had been unusually enthusiastic. Now that he had such a big car accident, he could actually take out so much money to solve his urgent needs, and his eyes when looking at Zheng Jie always had a different feeling. This had to make Zhao Da have other thoughts. However, looking at Zhao Desan teasing his daughter Nini, Zhao Da felt that perhaps he was overthinking it. However, he was like this now, even if his wife Zheng Jie betrayed him without his knowledge, he had nothing to say, because as a man, he knew that what Zheng Jie would likely face in the future was facing a useless person like him every day, and taking care of the child. If she didn't divorce him and could still insist on taking care of this family, then he should be thankful, what qualifications did he have to ask Zheng Jie to guard her chastity for him? Thinking of these, and recalling a few years ago, when the child was just born, the whole family was happy and harmonious, and every day when he came home from work, he would be enveloped in laughter. This huge gap made Zhao Da, who was lying on the hospital bed, not only turn his head and shed tears.

A few minutes later, Zheng Jie returned to the ward with the payment slip. The worried expression on her face had faded a lot. She handed the card directly to Zhao Desan, her beautiful eyes looking at Zhao Desan with autumn waves, her voice gentle and full of gratitude, saying: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, your card, thank you. When Brother Zhao is discharged from the hospital, Sister-in-law will go to work and earn money, and try to pay you back a little every month, paying you back as soon as possible."

Zhao Desan pushed her hand back and said: "Sister-in-law, you keep this card and use it. Now Brother Zhao and Nini are both hospitalized and always need money, and you haven't gone to work, so where would you get money to spend? You keep this card and use it! Don't worry about paying it back."

"This... how can this be, Comrade Xiao Zhao, take it back. You have already prepaid a month's hospitalization fee. After a month, Brother Zhao will definitely be almost recovered, and he can be discharged from the hospital by then, so he won't need much money. You keep it, in case you have other things to use." Zheng Jie's grateful eyes contained a different kind of affection, and she stuffed the bank card back, refusing to use it anymore.

Zhao Da, who was lying on the bed, saw the two pushing back and forth, and Zhao Desan's hand was stretched out without avoiding his presence, directly holding Zheng Jie's delicate hand in his palm. He hurriedly smoothed things over and said: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, hurry up and put the card away. Your sister-in-law has already swiped so much money. I will be almost recovered after living for a month and will be discharged. I don't need to use any more money. You hurry up and put it away. It's not easy for you to save money, you will need it to marry a wife in the future, hurry up and put it away."

When Zhao Da mentioned marrying a wife, Zheng Jie's eyes looking at Zhao Desan clearly had a subtle change. She blinked her beautiful eyes unnaturally and shifted her gaze away from his burning gaze.

"It's still too early to marry a wife. I don't even have a girlfriend now, so what wife should I marry." Zhao Desan deliberately described himself as a single aristocrat in front of Zheng Jie, in order to psychologically shorten the distance between him and her.

As Zheng Jie's husband, the subtle change in her expression naturally couldn't escape her husband Zhao Da's eyes. Zhao Da's eyes stared at Zheng Jie, forced a somewhat unnatural smile, and said: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, you are so handsome, it shouldn't be simple to find a girlfriend, right? Let your sister-in-law say, isn't it?" Knowing that when chatting about this topic, his wife Zheng Jie had some subtle changes, in order to further confirm his thoughts, Zhao Da deliberately extended this topic.

Sure enough, after Zhao Da introduced his wife Zheng Jie into this topic, her expression had some subtle changes, she smiled somewhat unnaturally, and said: "Brother Zhao is right, Comrade Xiao Zhao, look at how handsome you are, why haven't you found a girlfriend yet? You must not want to find one, right?" Saying this, Zheng Jie didn't want to keep entangled in this topic, so she immediately shifted the topic and said: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, take the card, you have already prepaid so much money, when it's really not working, Sister-in-law will... will borrow from you again, okay?"

"That's right, Comrade Xiao Zhao, take the card, money is all hard-earned. You have already helped our family so much, how can your sister-in-law still take your card." Zhao Da said on the hospital bed, and at the same time glanced at his wife Zheng Jie with the corner of his eye, only to see her looking at Zhao Desan affectionately, and then quickly shifted her gaze away.

Really unable to refuse, and pushing back and forth so intimately with Zheng Jie in front of Zhao Da, Zhao Desan felt it was not very good. Although Zhao Da wouldn't say anything for the sake of face, he would definitely be unhappy in his heart. Once he discovered his improper intentions toward Zheng Jie, his plan might be ruined. Therefore, Zhao Desan took the card very helplessly, and while putting it into his pocket, said: "Alright then, then I'll take the card back first, and you can just come to me directly when you need it, Sister-in-law."

A warm smile bloomed on Zheng Jie's lips, and she nodded: "Um, if Sister-in-law really needs it urgently, I will find you."

Zhao Da had basically determined that his wife Zheng Jie had a bit of a budding affection for Zhao Desan. Although he also knew that Zhao Desan was a warm-hearted person in the unit, it was inevitably more enthusiastic than anyone else in his family's affairs. A man's selfishness made Zhao Da feel a bit unhappy. Even if his wife and Zhao Desan had developed good feelings for each other, even if he couldn't stop them from developing good feelings, he would turn a blind eye, but he couldn't bear his wife flirting with his colleague in front of him. "Comrade Xiao Zhao, it's getting late, it's almost time for the afternoon shift, don't delay your work, hurry back to work." Therefore, Zhao Da turned his head to look at the clock on the table and found a reason to send Zhao Desan away.

Reminded by Zhao Da, Zhao Desan realized that it was almost time for work. At this critical moment when he was about to be promoted to Deputy Division Chief, his performance must be worthy of this promotion. He looked at the watch on his wrist and said with a bit of panic: "Alright then, Brother Zhao, Sister-in-law, I'll go first, I'll see you when I have time." Saying this, he turned around and opened the door to walk out anxiously, completely failing to notice that Zheng Jie had been following him out, went downstairs, and stood on the steps of the inpatient department, watching his back disappear at the hospital gate until he was gone.

For several days in a row, Zhao Desan was the only person in the unit who visited Zhao Da in the hospital so diligently. Every time he went, in order not to arouse Zhao Da's suspicion, he always pretended to bring greetings from different leaders. Although his pace of visiting Zhao Da was too diligent these days, to the point that he was told to Zheng Tulu by Wang Pangzi, as a colleague, Zhao Desan's enthusiastic behavior made him unable to find any fault. Of course, the diligence of these days was not in vain.
