Chapter 2259: Come Back a Little Earlier

In the car, Zhao Desan called Su Qing to remind her to come back a little earlier. Su Qing told him on the phone that she would be home in an hour at most. So, taking advantage of getting home early, Zhao Desan bought the dishes they both liked at the entrance of the residential complex, preparing to give Su Qing a surprise today and show off his culinary skills. Once home, he took off his coat, put down his leather bag, rolled up his sleeves, walked into the kitchen, tied on an apron, and began to busy himself.

Before he knew it, Zhao Desan had prepared three or four signature dishes and placed them on the dining table. Half an hour later, just as he was concentrating on cooking his last signature dish—which was also Su Qing's favorite—Su Qing walked into the living room. As soon as she entered, she caught a whiff of fragrance and wanted to see what it was. Following the enticing scent, Su Qing actually came to the kitchen door. When she saw the dishes on the table and Zhao Desan busy in the kitchen wearing an apron, she was extremely astonished. Having lived with Zhao Desan for two years, she had never known he had this skill. Su Qing was overjoyed, walked up quietly, patted Zhao Desan on the shoulder, and praised him endlessly: "Not bad, I didn't see that coming; you're actually a homebody who knows how to live. How come I haven't discovered this until now?"

Zhao Desan turned back and said proudly to Su Qing: "I don't tell just anyone."

Su Qing said with a grin: "It smells so good. What are you cooking?"

Zhao Desan said with a mysterious smile: "You'll know in a moment. Sit for a while, Sister Su; this is the last dish, it'll be ready soon."

"Then I'll see if I have the good fortune to enjoy it today." Su Qing said with a grin and turned toward the sofa in the living room.

Zhao Desan let Su Qing sit on the sofa while he hurried to continue cooking the last dish she liked.

Before long, the last dish was placed on the dining table by Zhao Desan. He used a rice cooker for the rice, which was fast and convenient. So, it didn't take long before the two of them were eating the delicious meal.

"Hmm, I didn't expect your cooking to be so good, Desan. The food tastes really delicious." Su Qing nodded in praise while eating.

Zhao Desan became modest at this moment, laughing 'hehe': "I don't really know how to cook; I just made it casually. I don't know if it suits your taste, Sister Su."

Su Qing nodded while eating: "It's delicious. I just like this kind of taste."

Zhao Desan smiled, picked up a piece of fish, put it into Su Qing's bowl, and said: "Sister Su, this is steamed sea bass I made for you. Taste it and see how it is."

Su Qing asked happily: "How did you know I like steamed sea bass?" As she said this, she put the piece of fish Zhao Desan gave her into her mouth and immediately nodded: "Not bad, not bad, it's really delicious."

Zhao Desan said: "After all, I've been with you for so long, Sister Su; how could I not know what you like to eat?"

Hearing this, Su Qing felt very warm inside. Having lived alone for so many years, no one had ever kept in mind the dishes she liked. Zhao Desan's words were like spring sunshine bathing her body, making her feel warm all over and extremely comfortable.

The reason Zhao Desan didn't make a grand table of better food wasn't that he was reluctant to spend money on ingredients, but because it was his first time cooking for a woman. Firstly, he wasn't confident in his skills, and secondly, he didn't want to make it too grand, fearing that if it were too formal, Su Qing might notice something amiss and ask endless questions.

"Desan, you're really something. I really didn't see that you had these skills." After the meal, Su Qing said with a satisfied smile.

"I've liked tinkering with these things since I was a kid, so I learned a bit of cooking. But our work has always been too busy, and I haven't had time to cook for you to taste, Sister Su." Zhao Desan found a very suitable excuse.

During the post-meal chat, Zhao Desan naturally talked about things unrelated to work. He absolutely couldn't let Su Qing sense the significance of this meal.

Su Qing was a woman with a very high IQ and naturally had thoughts about Zhao Desan's rare behavior today. Combining it with the fact that the Provincial Organization Department had issued a transfer order to the Provincial Construction Commission, she vaguely sensed that this meal tonight was of great significance. In a sense, it could be considered a 'farewell meal.' However, Zhao Desan kept avoiding topics about work and didn't mention his transfer at all, so Su Qing didn't ask about those topics either.

That night, Su Qing held Zhao Desan very tightly, as if afraid he would leave her. On the large, soft Simmons bed, she indulged in him, and Zhao Desan, knowing he would be leaving in a few days, gave himself to her without hesitation, trying his best to satisfy her insatiable desires. The room echoed with her soft, panting moans until they fell asleep in each other's arms, exhausted, and the night returned to silence.

The next day, the two went to work as usual. Although they had a tacit understanding about the concern that Zhao Desan would soon be working in the district and couldn't return here often to stay with Su Qing, neither of them said it. As usual, Su Qing stood on tiptoe and kissed Zhao Desan on the forehead before leaving, and he gave her the same kiss before they headed to their respective units.

Just today, something unexpected and puzzling happened to Zhao Desan. A girl named Chunfang, who had always had a soft spot for Zhao Desan in the logistics department, suddenly called him, crying aggrievedly on the phone, asking Zhao Desan to find her in her room at the unit dormitory; she had something to tell him.

Although Zhao Desan was very puzzled by the call from this beautiful female colleague he didn't usually interact with, and her crying on the phone left him completely baffled, hearing that she had something to tell him, Zhao Desan still headed to the unit's dormitory building with extreme confusion and found Chunfang's room.

Zhao Desan pushed open the door to Chunfang's room. Seeing her red-rimmed eyes and tear-streaked face, he immediately sensed that something must have happened. After catching his breath, he asked with concern: "Chunfang, what exactly is going on? What happened?"

Chunfang's tears kept streaming down her cheeks. She used the last of her strength to say to Zhao Desan: "Brother Liu, don't worry. Director Zheng won't trouble you anymore." After saying this, she burst into uncontrollable sobs...

"What exactly is going on? Chunfang, stop crying first. Brother knows you're aggrieved, but you have to explain the situation to Brother clearly, otherwise Brother will be worried to death!" Zhao Desan said earnestly. His brain was a mess; he didn't know what was going on. Although he knew Chunfang had always been interested in him, they didn't interact much. Why did she suddenly say so many things he didn't understand?

"I... I have already... already been defiled by him..." Chunfang finally blurted out the truth in despair... ===== CHAPTER 2260 =====
