Chapter 1897

"But Li Fang doesn't think so. She feels that I hurt her brother," Lan Mei said.

Looking at Lan Mei's worried expression, Zhao Desan said, "But Director Lan, don't worry. I have temporarily suppressed this matter for you! Li Fang won't find trouble with you for the time being."

Lan Mei raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly, looked at him with a pair of dark, bright, beautiful eyes with some surprise, and a moved look appeared on her face. She asked gently and urgently, "Xiao Zhao, really?"

Zhao Desan nodded affirmatively and said, "Really, when have I ever lied to you? You are my favorite woman." As he spoke, Zhao Desan looked at Lan Mei with a cheeky smile. This was the benefit of being a little man.

Looking at his wicked appearance, Lan Mei couldn't help but smile charmingly, shot him a look, and said, "Then how should I thank you!"

Zhao Desan restrained that wicked smile, looked at Lan Mei very seriously again, and said solemnly, "Director Lan, I must tell you very seriously that you can't always follow Zheng Tulu in everything in the future. You are always afraid of him, which will only make you a plaything in his hands. He won't care about your feelings at all!"

Speaking of this matter, Lan Mei felt very self-blaming. Initially, she was afraid that Zheng Tulu would find fault with her, and under his lewd power, she had no choice but to compromise. Who knew that Zhao Desan would discover it that day? Fortunately, she hadn't agreed to do it with the old guy in the conference room that day, but only agreed to let him touch her. Although she hadn't been exposed to Zhao Desan completely naked with Zheng Tulu, that disheveled appearance had already made Lan Mei so ashamed that she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Thinking of that embarrassing scene that day, Lan Mei really had nothing to say to Zhao Desan. She forced a smile awkwardly and said, "Is your anger gone?"

Zhao Desan laughed with a 'humph' and said, "Am I the kind of person who cares about trifles!"

"Your face was terrifyingly black when you saw me that day, and your anger was enough to blow up a balloon. I'm sorry, my dear." This was the first time Lan Mei apologized so sincerely in front of Zhao Desan, and the address afterward made Zhao Desan feel unexpectedly cheesy.

Seeing Lan Mei address him like this, Zhao Desan's eyes widened, his mouth opened slightly, and then he exerted his humor cells. He squinted his eyes, smiled wickedly, and said to Lan Mei, "I want to blow up your balloon."

Lan Mei didn't react for a moment, widened her eyes, and said, "I don't have a balloon?"

"Don't you?" Zhao Desan said, shifting his lecherous gaze to her firm, beautiful chest.

Zhao Desan's action immediately made Lan Mei understand what 'balloon' he was talking about. A layer of fiery red blush immediately covered her face, and she said shyly, "You... why are you so indecent!"

"Why? Is it not okay?" Zhao Desan asked her lecherously.

"Then... then you come to my house tonight." Lan Mei's beautiful eyes looked at Zhao Desan ambiguously and said shyly.

"Tonight? Not today, I have something to do today, let's talk about it another day!" Zhao Desan refused without thinking, because he had already decided to go to the store to find Zheng Jie as soon as he got off work. On one hand, he wanted to save their relationship, and on the other hand, he wanted to withdraw a part of his dividends from her.

"Are you blaming me for letting you sleep on the sofa that night?" Lan Mei looked at him pitifully and asked.

It would have been better if Lan Mei hadn't mentioned it. As soon as she mentioned the events of that night, Zhao Desan got angry. He shot her a fierce look and said coldly, "You still know! I get angry just thinking about it!"

"Actually, Desan, you don't know, I was self-blaming, feeling that I had let you down, so I didn't want you to touch me," Lan Mei expressed her true inner thoughts.

"Alright, let's not talk about the past. You don't have to worry about Li Fang finding trouble with you anymore. As long as I am in the Construction Committee for one day, absolutely no one will be able to do anything to you!" Zhao Desan patted his chest and gave Lan Mei a guarantee.

Looking at Zhao Desan's serious appearance of fearing nothing, a warm current surged in Lan Mei's heart. As a divorced young married woman, and in the crisis-ridden officialdom, being able to have a man by her side who was willing to help her, that kind of moving feeling was self-evident.

Lan Mei sat in Zhao Desan's office until work ended before going upstairs to get her bag. Taking advantage of Lan Mei going upstairs, Zhao Desan quickly packed his things like a thief, pulled the door, and ran out of the comprehensive office building in one breath, as if there were wolves chasing behind him.

Coming out of the Construction Committee, Zhao Desan directly hailed a taxi and went toward Zheng Jie's building materials store. It was the rush hour, there were too many cars on the road, and the speed was very slow, stopping and going, which made Zhao Desan feel very annoyed. He was too anxious to see Zheng Jie. Originally, after understanding that Zheng Jie had indeed cheated at the dance hall that day, he wanted to question her face to face and give her a hard time. But after thinking about it later, as a young married woman who had been married and had children, her husband was paralyzed in bed and had almost no sexual ability. As a young married woman with normal physiological needs, how could she endure three months without a man? Take himself for example, he went to Beijing for training, didn't he also fail to endure loneliness and go to a red building called 'Heaven on Earth' to spend money to play with a model? Why should he be messing around outside, but require a young married woman with normal physiological needs to keep herself pure? Thinking about it this way, Zhao Desan also figured it out. And that night at the dance hall, when he was confronting the group of people brought by Wuzi, when he and Hu Tao were facing the same danger, Zheng Jie and He Liping chose to stand in front of him to protect him involuntarily. This scene made him feel a little moved every time he thought about it, so the resentment in his heart gradually weakened with every weak moving feeling, and now he was almost no longer angry. However, not being angry didn't mean that this matter was over. Zhao Desan set a rule in his heart, which could be considered giving Zheng Jie a chance. If she didn't associate with Hu Tao anymore, he planned to forget about this matter. If she continued to entangle with Hu Tao secretly, Zhao Desan planned to break up with her and take back all the money he had spent on her!

Thinking along the way about how to eliminate the embarrassing scene after meeting Zheng Jie, and how to start the conversation, the original 10-20 minute car ride was blocked for a full

nearly 40 minutes. Zhao Desan also considered it all the way. Unknowingly, the taxi stopped slowly on the side of the road in front of Zheng Jie's building materials store. The driver turned his head and said, "Brother, we're here."

Zhao Desan then came back to his senses, looked out the window, the store door was open, so he quickly paid the driver, jumped out of the car, and walked toward the building materials store with light steps in three or two steps.

When rushing to the door of the store, Zhao Desan continued to rush inside while shouting loudly, "Sister-in-law." He was as usual, with a big, careless appearance, as if nothing had happened, wanting to use this to dispel the estrangement between the two.

But there was no response inside the store. Zhao Desan shouted 'Sister-in-law' again, and there was still no response. This made Zhao Desan feel a bit strange. Zheng Jie was usually at home or in the store, and generally, the store would only close after the sun went down. How could the door be open and no one be there? With extreme suspicion, Zhao Desan walked into the store. At this time, he saw a head lying on the counter. From that messy, chicken-nest-like hairstyle, Zhao Desan saw that this person was Shanzhu, so he quickened his pace and patted Shanzhu on the head.

Being patted on the head, Shanzhu jumped up as if his whole body had been electrocuted. Seeing Zhao Desan standing in front of him, he breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his eyes, and said with a tired expression, "Hi, it's you, Brother Liu. I thought it was who. Why are you here, Brother Liu?"

"Why? Can't I come?" Zhao Desan also learned Shanzhu's rural accent while looking around the store and said.
