Chapter 2469

Next, Zhao Desan was truly busy for a while. After all, District Mayor Wu had been abroad, so she had to bring out some things to tell everyone, right? So, Zhao Desan began to organize some materials about urban construction development that District Mayor Wu brought back. And what gave him the biggest headache in organizing these materials was the foreign language, because all the materials were written in foreign languages. Zhao Desan picked up the English he had put down for many years, and thick English dictionaries were stacked on his desk.

Zhao Desan's desperation and dedication to work naturally neglected Chen Man, who was still deeply in love with him. Soon, a week passed. During this week, besides Zhao Desan being busy, District Mayor Wu was even busier. She almost didn't stay in the District Committee for long, propagating her learning experience among various units. Sometimes when she needed materials, she had to have Zhao Desan send them to the scene, so the two of them didn't have time to go to his rented house alone.

"Brother Liu!" Zhao Desan had been busy all day today and had only returned to the District Construction Committee from the District Committee after work hours. But he didn't expect that as soon as he walked to the gate of the District Construction Committee, he was called out by a familiar voice.

Zhao Desan didn't need to look back to know who was calling him. Before looking back, he instinctively scanned the surroundings rapidly, and only after confirming that there was no one there did he turn his head abruptly and ask sternly, "What are you here for?"

Chen Man still said with a smile on her face, "You haven't paid attention to me for such a long time, aren't you going to let me come find you?"

"Didn't I tell you not to come to the unit to find me?" Zhao Desan said with a grimace.

"Didn't I follow your decree and not dare to go in to find you? I've been waiting for you here for over an hour," Chen Man said with a look of grievance.

"Oh, don't mind it. I've been busy out of my mind these past two days and I'm a bit tired, so my temper was a bit short," Zhao Desan also felt he was a bit neurotic and shouldn't have lost his temper so badly at Chen Man, so he explained.

"You don't need to say anything, I didn't blame you," Chen Man said magnanimously.

Zhao Desan smiled sighingly, his face turned slightly red, and said, "I've really made it difficult for you, letting you wait here for so long. Let's go, let's go eat first, my treat."

Chen Man nodded happily and said gently, "Let me treat you instead, consider it a reward for your hard work these days."

"What do you want to eat?" Zhao Desan didn't argue with Chen Man anymore. In his opinion, arguing was useless anyway, he would just settle the bill when the time came.

"I want to eat hot pot," Chen Man answered readily.

"Good, let's go eat hot pot." Zhao Desan looked at Chen Man's cute appearance, his heart was suddenly filled with apologies. He gently held her hand, walked toward the hot pot restaurant, and continued, "After eating, I'll take you to a good place."

What good place could it be? Zhao Desan certainly had nowhere else to go. After eating, he could only take Chen Man to his rented house. Of course, he wasn't stupid and didn't take Chen Man to that secret location, but brought her to the house Tong Xiaoli rented for him. Zhao Desan also thought, since the money had already been paid, it would be better to let this house play a role; it would be considered not wasting the money.

Whenever Zhao Desan reached this kind of emptiness, he would think of Chen Man, and at this time he could simply treat her as Zheng Jie. However, although Chen Man did everything according to Zhao Desan's ideas, and the two of them could almost make Zhao Desan feel like he was in heaven when they were doing things, but when it was over, Zhao Desan always felt a burst of emptiness. After all, she couldn't replace Zheng Jie. Zheng Jie's mature lingering and gentleness, as well as her stubbornness, were difficult for Chen Man to replace. Some of Zheng Jie's inner mature beauty had already been deeply rooted in Zhao Desan's bones.

But what Zhao Desan never expected was that while he was endlessly lingering with Chen Man time and time again to get rid of his emptiness, it constantly increased Chen Man's attachment to him, even to the point of being unable to extricate herself. She constantly compared Zhao Desan with her current boyfriend, and the more she compared, the more she felt her current boyfriend was useless. She could no longer get rid of Zhao Desan's shadow in her heart.

After being relieved, Zhao Desan was drowsy, but Chen Man had no sleepiness at all because she had something on her mind. She gently shook Zhao Desan's shoulder and said extremely gently, "Brother Liu, why don't you come to my house to sit for a while when you have time?"

Zhao Desan responded in a daze: "Hmm..." But suddenly felt something was wrong, immediately woke up halfway, opened his sleepy eyes, frowned, and asked, "What did you say?"

"I said when you have time, come to my house to sit for a while," Chen Man repeated what she had just said.

"What are you going to my house for?" Zhao Desan realized the seriousness of the matter.

"I... my parents want to see you," Chen Man said with a hint of difficulty.

"What do your parents want to see me for?" Zhao Desan actually already understood seven or eight points in his heart, but he still wanted to hear Chen Man say it out loud.

"I... I have already broken up with the dark fatty..." Chen Man said implicitly. His meaning couldn't be more obvious. She had broken up with the dark fatty, wasn't that just wanting to suggest a formal romantic relationship with Zhao Desan?

Zhao Desan was a bit dumbfounded when he heard Chen Man say this. He didn't dislike Chen Man, but for him, he had never thought about this point at all, nor did he have this idea. Chen Man's move was too sudden for him, making him a bit difficult to accept. He forced himself to swallow a mouthful of saliva and said with difficulty, "Xiao Man, I think... I think we should wait and see."

"Why? Do you despise me?" Chen Man knew her weakness, which was being afraid that Zhao Desan would despise her for being second-hand goods.

"No... no, how could that be? I just think we are both too young now, and we should put our energy into our careers, don't you think?" Zhao Desan also felt he was being unreasonable, but how else could he say it if he didn't say it like that?

"Does having a relationship affect your career?" Chen Man clearly seemed a bit unable to understand, but in fact, she was pressing Zhao Desan step by step.

Zhao Desan had no sleepiness at all at this time. He simply sat up so that the blood in his brain could sink down. He thought for a while and then said tactfully, "Xiao Man, I think we are doing quite well like this, why do we have to tie a tight hoop on the two of us?"

"I... I'm just afraid that you will get tired of playing with me after a long time and won't want me anymore," Chen Man lowered her head and confessed her thoughts.

Zhao Desan scratched his head hard. He felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart. Originally, an unmarried woman had her life intruded upon by him, and now he couldn't fully devote himself to loving her, so he felt guilty! However, Zhao Desan would never enter the ranks of marriage like this, that was true. After thinking about it, Zhao Desan still felt that he couldn't treat Chen Man in such a vague way anymore. He bit his lip and said to Chen Man with difficulty, "Xiao Man, I'll tell you the truth, I really don't want to get married now, I hope you can understand this."

"I didn't ask you to marry me now," Chen Man raised her head and looked at Zhao Desan affectionately.

"Oh... so that's how it is." Zhao

Desan seemed to understand, and seemed to be confused, and then asked, "Then what do you want to do?"

"I don't want to do anything, I just want you to be my boyfriend. Let's officially establish a romantic relationship from now on. When to get married, I can listen to your arrangements."

After hearing this, Zhao Desan collapsed on the bed again with a dull look on his face...

Although Chen Man didn't pester Zhao Desan like a shrew, she had already hinted to Zhao Desan that she was determined to be his bride. Zhao Desan felt that Chen Man was like a plaster, stuck firmly to his lifeline, making him unable to act rashly. Such psychological pressure made Zhao Desan completely sleepless.

As soon as he went to work the next day, Tong Xiaoli looked at Zhao Desan in surprise and asked, "Section Chief Liu, you didn't sleep all night last night, did you? Why are your eye sockets even blue?"

Zhao Desan instinctively rubbed his eyes, smiled reluctantly, and said, "I guess I didn't sleep well."

"Yo..." Tong Xiaoli deliberately dragged this "Yo" very long, and then said with a sarcastic tone: "Did you have a tryst with some little lover?"

Zhao Desan felt a jolt in his heart and thought to himself: Damn it, could it be that she saw what happened between me and Chen Man? So he hurriedly tried to ask, "Why do you see that I had a tryst with a little lover? Can't I work hard and stay up late?"

"Stop it, how many workaholics are there now?" Tong Xiaoli said with disdain.

When Zhao Desan heard Tong Xiaoli say this, he felt a little more at ease in his heart. Then he said to Tong Xiaoli with a smile, "Maybe I am that kind of person."

"Yo... I really didn't see it, our big Section Chief Liu is actually a career-oriented man." Tong Xiaoli twisted her little nose and said with a strange tone.

Looking at Tong Xiaoli's touching posture, Zhao Desan couldn't help but think of Chen Man again, and thought: What a good flower, it's a pity that I dare not mess around anymore. With the lesson of Chen Man this time, I must be cautious and cautious when contacting unmarried women in the future, otherwise, it will be difficult to handle if I get into trouble, just like I am now. ===== CHAPTER 2470 =====
