Chapter 2594

Five minutes later, Chen Man walked out of the restroom. Seeing the look of disappointment on her face, Zhao Desan felt incredibly excited, but he still feigned composure and asked her: "Xiao Man, how is it?"

"Not pregnant." Chen Man looked at him with dim eyes and said disappointedly.

The stone in Zhao Desan's heart finally landed, but to comfort the dejected Chen Man, he pretended to jump up from his chair with a 'whoosh' and said with a look of shock: "How can it not be? What's going on?"

Seeing Zhao Desan's reaction and expression of disappointment, which were even more intense than her own, Chen Man's dejected mood was slightly comforted. She said sorrowfully: "Maybe it's not that easy to get pregnant."

"Could it be inaccurate?" Zhao Desan deliberately looked for excuses to deny the test results, subtly proving to Chen Man that he actually really wanted her to be pregnant.

"Both test strips are negative." Chen Man raised her head and looked sorrowfully at the solemn-faced Zhao Desan.

Zhao Desan frowned, let out a heavy 'sigh', and said: "I don't believe it's that hard to get pregnant. If we don't succeed this time, there's always next time. Next time, I will definitely get you pregnant!"

Chen Man looked sorrowful and said nothing more, just sitting there quietly.

Zhao Desan kept her company, chatting and comforting her not to be sad. By the time the sky turned pitch black, Zhao Desan received a message from Tong Lan. He didn't have time to read it and used the excuse of having dinner with a leader in the city that night to slip away from the car beauty shop.

Leaving the car beauty shop, Zhao Desan did not go to the district but headed straight for his rented room. On the way back, he finally opened the message from Tong Lan: Little Brother Zhao, no work tomorrow, come drink with me tonight?

How could Zhao Desan not want to see that charming young lady who haunted his dreams? But he planned to go to the countryside early tomorrow morning to see Zheng Jie and Zhao Da, and he wanted to get some good rest tonight. So he replied to Tong Lan: No, let's do it another day.

Tong Lan replied: Alright then. Come over when you're free, Little Brother Zhao. Sister really wants to see you.

Seeing the message Tong Lan replied with, a triumphant, devious smile appeared on Zhao Desan's face. He thought to himself that it seemed he had left a very good impression on this charming and alluring young lady. As long as there was mutual attraction, the rest would naturally fall into place. However, because Tong Lan was one of the 'Golden Leopards', and he hadn't figured out exactly what their relationship was, he didn't plan to act rashly.

After exchanging several text messages with the young lady Tong Lan—who wore a cheongsam in his mind and radiated a beauty that combined the classical and the modern—Zhao Desan returned to his rented room. Tong Lan did not send any more messages. Zhao Desan thought perhaps it was too busy at the bar on the weekend and she was busy attending to guests, so he didn't send her any more messages either.

Lying in bed at night, Zhao Desan was not able to fall asleep as soon as he lay down as he had thought. Instead, Tong Lan's figure, her facial features, her expressions, and her every smile and frown kept appearing clearly in his mind, keeping him awake all night. Even after he finally tossed and turned and fell asleep, that infinitely charming young lady followed him into his dreams. In the dream, he personally unbuttoned the well-fitting dark green cheongsam she wore from her right collarbone, one by one, until her graceful, exquisite jade body was presented to him completely naked. He was utterly stunned; that curvaceous figure was simply scorching hot. Her delicate face and unique aura seemed not to belong to a woman of this era, as if she were a courtesan who had walked out of the Republic of China era. Even with such nudity displayed, she still radiated classical beauty. When she walked toward him step by step, he was stunned, standing still like a wooden chicken, until she walked up and pushed him onto the bed, slowly lying on top of him, until that delicate face covered his...

Before this trip to the countryside to visit Zhao Da, Zhao Desan specifically called to ask Shanzhu about Zheng Jie's recent situation. Shanzhu told Zhao Desan over the phone that it seemed his sister-in-law had contracted some strange illness, her complexion was very poor, and she had become haggard. Zhao Da had mentioned this to Zhao Desan when they were at the hospital. Over the phone, Zhao Desan told Shanzhu that he knew an old Chinese medicine doctor who was very effective in treating those strange illnesses.

Driving to the countryside dozens of kilometers away, when he saw Zhao Da, he was still the same as before; his physical condition hadn't changed much, only his spirit looked a bit more haggard. Seeing Zhao Desan arrive, Zhao Da was very excited. He had learned from the phone call Shanzhu just made that Zhao Desan could treat his wife, Zheng Jie. Toward Zhao Desan, besides guilt and gratitude, he didn't know what else to say.

Although, as a man, he should have been very depressed about the affair between Zheng Jie and Zhao Desan, his physical condition determined that he had forever lost the ability to give Zheng Jie happiness. Moreover, it was he who personally facilitated the relationship between his wife Zheng Jie and Zhao Desan. Although it was inevitable that he felt some pain in his heart, it was also a helpless matter. Regarding his wife Zheng Jie's refusal to leave him, besides doing this, he really didn't know how to repay her.

Shanzhu also came here today. Under Du Xiaochan's reminder, the two of them took the initiative to step outside the small courtyard, allowing Zhao Desan and Zhao Da to talk alone for a while. Zhao Da quickly composed his emotions and asked somewhat nervously: "Brother, Shanzhu said you know an old Chinese medicine doctor who can cure your sister-in-law's illness? Is it true?"

Zhao Desan certainly knew Zhao Da's thoughts; what man wouldn't worry about his own wife? After the two sat down opposite each other, Zhao Desan smiled slightly and said: "Brother Zhao, don't worry. I have consulted that old Chinese medicine doctor, and he said it should be treatable. It's like this, let me contact him now." As he spoke, Zhao Desan took out his mobile phone and called a very famous old Chinese medicine doctor he knew in the district.

On the phone, before mentioning treating Zheng Jie's heart disease, Zhao Desan first introduced himself as Zhao Desan, the Director of the District Construction Committee, and then stated his request. As soon as the old doctor heard it was to treat the sister-in-law of a district leader, he naturally agreed readily.

After the call, Zhao Desan came to Zhao Da's bedside and said confidently: "Brother Liu, the old doctor said he can cure your sister-in-law's illness tonight..."

Zhao Da nodded with relief, his expression still very serious. After hesitating for a long time, he suddenly said in a low voice: "Little Brother Zhao, Brother has something I want to entrust to you..."

Intuition told Zhao Desan that every time Zhao Da showed this expression, the words he said were always earth-shattering. This time, he didn't know what earth-shattering thing he wanted to say? Zhao Desan nodded with a puzzled heart and smiled: "Brother Zhao, you are too polite. We are two brothers, what can't be said? Just say it directly. Whatever you want me to do, as long as I can do it, Brother guarantees I won't even frown."
