Chapter 2049

Su Qing had always been very strict about Zhao Desan's life outside of work. In the nearly two years they had lived together, she had gone from initially treating Zhao Desan as a spice for her loneliness to gradually developing a feeling akin to familial affection after the passion faded. Although they maintained a sexual relationship, Su Qing was always very strict about Zhao Desan's personal life. That he could still maintain such rich connections with other women under such strict management was truly no easy feat for Zhao Desan.

"Oh, I had just returned when Zheng Tulu had me take a document to his home," Zhao Desan replied truthfully.

Su Qing had always trusted Zhao Desan's words, whether true or false, so she did not press for more details. She tucked her head back into the bathroom to continue her shower. Zhao Desan returned directly to the bedroom, undressed, got into bed, and crawled under the covers. He thought about the money hidden in the corner of the living room, planning to take it to the office tomorrow morning after Su Qing left, call Li Fang over, and put this matter behind him once and for all.

Ten minutes later, Su Qing finished her shower. Dressed in a milky-white bathrobe, she walked gracefully into the bedroom while wiping her wet long hair. She smiled gently at Zhao Desan, took out a hairdryer, plugged it in, and stood before the dressing mirror to dry her hair.

Looking at the back of Su Qing, who was in her early fifties, he found it still so slender and graceful. One could not tell at all from her back that she was a woman over fifty; instead, she seemed like a young beauty of sixteen, with a supple body and graceful posture. Carefully admiring Su Qing's back, Zhao Desan discovered that in nearly two years, her figure had not gone out of shape at all; she had even maintained the same weight. He couldn't help but truly admire a woman who could keep her figure at such a level. He sighed sincerely and said, "Sister Su, you are truly beautiful!"

Hearing Zhao Desan's heartfelt remark, Su Qing turned her head and smiled charmingly, asking, "Why do you say that?"

"I think that for a woman to maintain such a figure and skin at your age, Sister Su, you really are a vixen," Zhao Desan joked as he complimented her.

Zhao Desan's sweet words made Su Qing feel very pleased. She smiled gently at Zhao Desan, put down the hairdryer, tossed her jet-black, shiny hair, climbed onto the bed, and straddled Zhao Desan. Looking at him with alluring eyes, she said with a face full of desire, "Baby, how long has it been since we did that?"

"Did what?" Zhao Desan looked wickedly at Su Qing, who was lying on top of him, and asked, pretending not to know.

Su Qing pouted and said, "You know what!" As she spoke, she slowly lowered her head, bringing her face—smooth as jade and fresh as a lotus flower—slowly toward Zhao Desan's face, then licked her fiery red lips and gradually pressed them against Zhao Desan's.

Indeed, ever since Su Qing took on the concurrent role of Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, she had been so busy with work every day that she was almost always exhausted and fell asleep the moment she returned late at night. Zhao Desan had once even suspected that Su Qing had found a new man outside. Today, Su Qing had returned relatively early. Zhao Desan did a quick mental calculation and realized it had indeed been a while since they had been intimate. Since Sister Su was in the mood today, even if he had to risk his life, he would strive to win a smile of joy from her. Thus, he opened his arms, hugged Su Qing tightly, gently caressed her back through her bathrobe with both hands, and slightly opened his mouth to accept the exploration of her soft, fragrant tongue...

The long-lost feeling was like something brand new, filled with fresh stimulation. After a thorough and uninhibited bout of intimacy, there was a brief silence. The two of them, drenched in sweat, held each other tightly, maintaining a state of entanglement for a while before slowly separating.

Before going to sleep, the two chatted for a while. Su Qing asked Zhao Desan what document he had delivered to Zheng Tulu that evening.

"The final planning proposal for the Chanba Development Zone," Zhao Desan said truthfully.

Upon hearing Zhao Desan's answer, Su Qing suddenly remembered something and said, "Right, tomorrow Secretary Jin is going to the Chanba Development Zone for an on-site inspection, and I will be accompanying him. Your Director Zheng will likely have to accompany us to explain the development and construction situation then."

"No wonder Zheng Tulu had me deliver the materials so late; it turns out he was cramming at the last minute!" Zhao Desan finally understood.

He understood why Zheng Tulu needed those materials so late.

"Do you mean your Director Zheng doesn't understand the situation in the Chanba Development Zone?" Su Qing turned her face to ask Zhao Desan.

"He doesn't know a damn thing! He doesn't even know what he's doing all day long!" Zhao Desan was full of contempt for Zheng Tulu's attitude toward work.

"Let's just see if he can handle Secretary Jin tomorrow," Su Qing said with a nonchalant smile.

Damn it, if I had known this old bastard was cramming at the last minute to deal with the leaders above, I wouldn't have eagerly delivered the materials to him, Zhao Desan thought to himself as he realized the true intention behind Zheng Tulu needing those materials overnight.

The next morning, when Su Qing woke up and was dressed, she saw Zhao Desan still lazing in bed and urged him to get up quickly. Zhao Desan kept dawdling until Su Qing couldn't wait any longer and drove off by herself. Only then did he scramble up, wash up in a hurry, take the leather bag he had hidden in the corner of the living room, and rush to his unit.

Once he arrived at the unit and sat down in his office, Zhao Desan dialed Li Fang's number to notify her to come and get the money. After the call, he opened the zipper of his leather bag and looked at the more than 300,000 in cash inside. Zhao Desan felt a pang of heartache; he truly regretted not being able to resist Li Fang's temptation. Having slept with her once, he now had to pay such a heavy price—it was simply not worth it. Spending over 400,000 to sleep with a young, beautiful woman from the countryside who had come to the city to work—no one would believe it if he told them. There was no help for it; Zhao Desan could only resign himself to bad luck. As long as he could use this money to seal Li Fang's mouth and keep her from mentioning the relationship between them again, he would thank the heavens. ===== CHAPTER 2050 =====
