Chapter 194

That day, Zhao De's visit to see Li Shanshan left her feeling surprised and unexpected. Furthermore, after Zhao De left, her parents praised him highly, which made her more determined in her belief to pursue Zhao De. However, while she usually appeared aloof in the bureau and was very efficient in her work, when it came to this kind of matter, she was still a bit shy and didn't dare to be straightforward with him.

"There's no need to offer yourself," Zhao De said with a wicked grin, "but offering yourself for a romp is something I could consider."

"Zhao De, you're so lecherous!" Li Shanshan raised her eyebrows and rolled her eyes, "Why are you so lecherous?"

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare," Zhao De said, cupping his hands with a gleam in his eyes, asking her with a ghostly smile: "If you're free now, shall we... hehe... how about it?"

Li Shanshan genuinely wanted to date him, so she couldn't be as indulgent with him as before; at the very least, she had to restore an image of a pure maiden in his heart. So, she put on a straight face and refused: "Zhao De, don't treat me like that kind of girl! I'm not that casual!"

"Yo! Still putting on an act in front of me?" Zhao De didn't understand the situation, "Forget it, I'll go lock the door." Saying this, he got up to lock the door.

"Zhao De!" Li Shanshan roared with a glare, "I am not that kind of casual girl! Before, it was because you said you took photos and threatened me! Now that there are no photos, do you think I'll still listen to you? Don't be so vulgar!" After saying this, Li Shanshan got up in a huff and slammed the door as she left.

It seemed she was truly angry. This abnormal behavior left Zhao De a bit confused, and he found it somewhat unbelievable.

Zhao De felt inexplicably irritable and restless in the office. He simply got up and went to the warehouse for a walk, but Zhang Ai and Fatty were not there. He returned to the office with his head down, feeling gloomy, sat down to smoke, and waited for work to end. After work, he still had to wait for Bai Ling to come and give him Zhang Da's arrangements.

Bai Ling, this young married woman, was truly a rare gem in the world. In all the years Zhao De had lived, he had only felt this way about two people: one was Ma Lan, and the other was Bai Ling. Both were young married women a few years older than him; one was wealthy but her daughter had met with misfortune, and the other had a broken family and was still struggling to hold on.

It wasn't until 6:30, half an hour after work had ended, that Zhao De knew the people in the bureau had basically all left, so he went out of the office to find Bai Ling in the front courtyard.

It was nearly December, and at 6:30, the sky was already dark. The only two streetlights in the courtyard hadn't been turned on, and it seemed only the light in Vice Bureau Chief Wang's office was on in the office building. After walking around the front courtyard, Bai Ling hadn't come yet. Zhao De was a bit curious; Vice Bureau Chief Wang was always late and left early every day, so why was he planning to work through the night tonight?

So, driven by curiosity, he quietly slipped into the office building, walked on tiptoes to the outside of Vice Bureau Chief Wang's office door, and leaned against the door to listen carefully.

Whispering sounds came from inside; the voices were very soft and required careful listening to hear.

"Bai Ling, do you only start work every night after everyone else has left?" Vice Bureau Chief Wang Anguo's voice came from inside.

So Sister Bai had been called to the office by Wang Anguo; no wonder he hadn't seen her come to sweep the floor tonight! Zhao De realized immediately that Wang Anguo was up to no good again and must be wanting to take advantage of her.

"Yes," Bai Ling replied with her head lowered, "Vice Bureau Chief Wang, do you have something for me to do in your office?"

"Hehe, nothing, nothing... By the way, you're a permanent employee, right?"

"No... a temporary worker... doing cleaning, how could I be a permanent employee? I'm making you laugh, leader."

"No... are you cold in what you're wearing?" Wang Anguo's hand rested on her fragrant shoulder with ill intent, pretending to be concerned.

"Not cold."

"Oh... Bai Ling, do you want to become a permanent employee?"

"Hehe, Vice Bureau Chief Wang, you're joking. This isn't something that can be changed just because one wants to. I'm very satisfied just being able to keep this temporary job."

"I can actually help you a little, but..." Wang Anguo began to play hard to get, acting mysterious.
