Chapter 1810

"Secret." Zhao Desan deliberately played a mystery, knowing that he couldn't explain it clearly to Su Qing in a few words over the phone.

Su Qing didn't ask further. She smiled happily and asked, "When are you coming back? When you return, I will repay you for this favor." To be honest, Su Qing missed Zhao Desan from the bottom of her heart. It had been over two months since he left, and almost every night, Su Qing would toss and turn for a long time before she could fall asleep.

"In less than a week, I suppose. How do you plan to repay this favor, Sister Su?" Zhao Desan asked with a chuckle.

Su Qing appeared a bit shy at this moment and said, "Didn't I already say it last time? Have you forgotten?"

"I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten." Zhao Desan hurriedly replied with a grin. Having lived with Su Qing for over a year, he had never dared to strongly demand the new tricks that most women would resist. Su Qing had finally agreed, which made Zhao Desan feel extremely excited. He really hoped time would pass quickly so he could return to Hexi and enjoy his boundless romantic fortune.

"Then let me know when you return, and I'll see if I can find time to pick you up at the airport," Su Qing said with a smile.

"Alright, I'll call you when I get back, Sister Su," Zhao Desan said with a smile.

That night, Zhao Desan spent most of the night chatting with the extremely happy Su Qing, until she went to bed and felt sleepy.

While on the phone with Su Qing, Zhao Desan fantasized about returning to Hexi Province and comforting women like Sister Su, Zheng Jie, Section Chief Lan, He Liping, and others. Thinking about it, his romantic fortune was truly boundless. Although he had met Xi Bingbing in the latter half of his training in Beijing and they had developed mutual affection and even had a relationship, he only knew this one beauty in Beijing. Any man would get tired of facing the same woman every day, let alone a playboy like Zhao Desan. So, lying alone on the hotel bed, Zhao Desan fantasized about his wonderful life in Hexi Province, feeling a sense of urgency to return.

It was originally a happy event to be glad for Su Qing, but upon thinking about returning, Zhao Desan couldn't help but recall what Zheng Jie had said on the phone that afternoon. Forced by the lewd power of Zheng Tulu, Zheng Jie had confessed the truth. Now that the old fox knew he had been bluffing, once he returned, the old guy would certainly not let him off. Even if nothing happened on the surface, he would definitely cause trouble behind his back. Thinking of this, Zhao Desan couldn't be happy at all. Instead, his heart was filled with anxiety. He was eager to return to enjoy his boundless romantic fortune, yet afraid of being picked on by the old guy. His mood was extremely conflicted. He tossed and turned in bed until the early hours, and only then, having spent the afternoon with Xi Bingbing, did Zhao Desan fall into a tired sleep.

Time flew by. Soon, the remaining half-month passed in Zhao Desan's conflicted state of mind—eager to return home yet afraid of seeing Zheng Tulu. During this half-month, Zhao Desan trained in the morning and spent almost all his free time in the afternoon with Xi Bingbing. It could be said that he did not waste his time and enjoyed the best of human pleasures. Although she was the daughter of a high-ranking official, Xi Bingbing did not show any unreasonable or willful behavior when with Zhao Desan. Instead, she was obedient and very fond of him. Every time they reached the peak in bed, she would nestle into Zhao Desan's arms like a little bird, letting him hold her tightly. Zhao Desan had also gathered the courage to tell her that, for many reasons, he certainly couldn't be with her forever, and this short-lived relationship would end as soon as he left Beijing. But Xi Bingbing said she didn't regret it. Also because of her special status, she actually lived a very unhappy life, had few friends, and no man dared to pursue her actively, which made her feel very lonely. It wasn't until she reunited with Zhao Desan in Beijing, and got to know the hero who had once saved her, that she felt a sense of a young girl's first love. All her efforts were voluntary, and she didn't need Zhao Desan to bear any consequences. She also told Zhao Desan that if he encountered any difficulties he truly couldn't solve, he could come to her, and she would do her best to help him.

It could be said that Zhao Desan's three months in Beijing were not in vain. He had learned a lot of professional knowledge, improved his understanding of his work and his own capabilities, and also harvested a wonderful romantic affair that he would never forget. Although Xi Bingbing did not show any authoritarian side to him, in order not to bring trouble upon himself, Zhao Desan made up his mind that once he left Beijing, he would not actively contact her, and unless there was a massive issue, he would never ask her for help again. The power relations among the high-level officials in the Central Committee were too complex, and he didn't want to fall into that bottomless vortex.
