As Zheng Jie spoke, her eyes turned red unknowingly. Zhao Desan looked at the tears swirling in Zheng Jie's eyes, and his heart also felt extremely uncomfortable. He hurriedly comforted her and said: "Don't be sad, isn't everything fine? Don't let your imagination run wild."

Zheng Jie wiped away her tears and nodded.

Zhao Desan looked at Zheng Jie's appearance and thought, it seems Zheng Jie doesn't know that Zhao Da already knows about their affair, and even less likely to know that their multiple unions were all Zhao Da's idea. Zhao Desan didn't know whether he should tell Zheng Jie these things, thinking about whether Zheng Jie would feel better if she knew these.

Zhao Desan looked at Zheng Jie and sighed, saying: "Zheng Jie, actually..." The way he addressed her had become distance-less in private.

Zheng Jie looked up at Zhao Desan and said puzzledly: "Why are you stammering? Just say whatever you have, are you still distant with me?"

Zhao Desan said: "Actually, I really want to have a home, a family living happily and steadily..."

Hearing Zhao Desan say this, Zheng Jie's eyes lit up.

"However, you also know the environment I am in. Officialdom is a battlefield. One wrong step, not to mention losing everything, but also dying a miserable death. It's not easy for me to walk from a small clerk to the current department-level. You can also be considered a spiritual pillar of mine, invisibly helping me a lot. I know you also want to form a family with me, but now is not the time yet. Can you wait a bit longer?"

Zheng Jie held Zhao Desan's hand and said with a smile: "Little Zhao, I said before, having you by my side, I am already very happy. You have me in your heart, and I am also very satisfied. As for the rest, I don't ask for it. Desan, work hard on your career, I support you. By the way, your colleague yesterday, I think she is very awesome."

Zhao Desan nodded and joked: "That is quite awesome."

Zheng Jie smiled and said: "You should make more capable friends, you know?"

Zhao Desan understood Zheng Jie's meaning, nodded, and looked at her gratefully.

Zheng Jie lowered her head and continued to wash vegetables. Although there was a smile on her face, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart. She also wanted to have a home, a home belonging to her and Zhao Desan. But she was Zhao Da's wife after all, and Zhao Da was lying on the bed now. She couldn't be a heartless woman and leave him alone.

Zheng Jie stood up with the vegetable basin. Seeing her get up, Zhao Desan also stood up. Thinking it was better not to eat at her home. Once drinking, Zhao Da would talk a lot and would definitely mention the matter of divorce with Zheng Jie. Moreover, the reason he could unite with Zheng Jie many times before was entirely because Zhao Da wanted to use this only way he could to repay Zhao Desan's kindness. If Zhao Da said these words, one could imagine how awkward the atmosphere would be. Considering these, Zhao Desan said to Zheng Jie: "I'd better go, otherwise Brother Zhao..."

Zheng Jie understood that Zhao Desan was worried that the atmosphere would be awkward in a while. She giggled and said: "I, Sister Li, you go, take good care of yourself, pay attention to your health."

Zhao Desan looked at Zheng Jie with an unbearable look, then turned and walked away. Zheng Jie watched Zhao Desan's back, her heart filled with an indescribable melancholy.

Zhao Desan was thinking about things, walking in a daze. When walking out of the alley, he kicked the leaves on the roadside. The sycamore trees on both sides of the alley were covered with withered yellow leaves. When the wind blew gently, leaves would spin and fall down from time to time. This desolate autumn scenery was like Zhao Desan's mood at this moment. Thinking that he had just relaxed for not long, things came one after another. It seems autumn is here, and things are more. It is really as the old saying goes, a troubled autumn.

"Hehehe..." When Zhao Desan walked out of the alley entrance, he suddenly heard a burst of laughter that seemed to mock him.

Zhao Desan's mood was already a bit complicated. With an impatient mood, he looked in the direction of the sound. It turned out that under the tree, there was a white-haired and white-bearded wandering Taoist. This old man had a crane-like appearance and a very ruddy complexion. Under his feet, he placed a Bagua diagram, which looked like a fortune teller.

Zhao Desan looked at him curiously and asked puzzledly: "I say, Grandpa, what are you laughing at? Laughing at me?"

The white-haired old man stroked his beard and said: "Young man, you have good luck recently, but you look a bit dark in your forehead, it should be that fortune and misfortune follow each other, hehe."

Hearing this fortune-telling old man's judgment of his fortune, Zhao Desan thought carefully, and it was indeed the case. Coming to the Provincial Party School was a rare opportunity for him, not only knowing many people in other government units and making many connections, but also knowing Big Sister Yang Liu who worked as a secretary in the Provincial Government. It could be said that he had good luck. However, that strange text message, coupled with the matter in Zheng Jie's home, was also a very headache-inducing matter for him. Just as the old man said, he was now following fortune and misfortune. Thinking this, Zhao Desan felt that this white-haired old man really had some skills, so with curiosity, he walked close to the old man. The white-haired old man put the book in his hand on the ground, signaling Zhao Desan to sit down. Zhao Desan sat down obediently and asked curiously: "Grandpa, are you a fortune teller?"

The white-haired old man laughed loudly and said noncommittally: "Just knowing a little more than ordinary people, hehe..."

Zhao Desan sat down and said with a smile: "Then can the expert give me some pointers? See how I should handle the things I am facing recently."

The old man looked at him casually and said: "I see your steps are stable, you should have practiced Qigong or some martial arts, right?"

Zhao Desan had indeed practiced Taekwondo for a few years when he was in school. Hearing this, he was shocked, thinking that he had really met an expert, but he still pretended to be calm and expressionless: "Yes, I have practiced some things. Then does Grandpa know what I practiced?" Zhao Desan thought of testing this wandering Taoist to see if he really had true skills.

The old man laughed loudly, as if he understood Zhao Desan's thoughts, and said: "You are testing me. Those things are profound, with hundreds of types. I don't know what you practiced, I only know that you must have practiced. Your steps are vigorous, your complexion is ruddy, it should be something like self-cultivation."

Hearing the old man's judgment, Zhao Desan couldn't help but widen his eyes and look at him, sighing in his heart that he had really met an expert today.

Zhao Desan looked at this white-haired old man with admiration and sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Grandpa, you are really an expert."

The white-haired old man was not humble at all about Zhao Desan's praise. He chuckled, nodded, and said: "The young man also has a good eye."

Zhao Desan smiled and confessed: "Actually, Grandpa, I practiced Taekwondo when I was in college a few years ago, but now I'm working, so I don't practice anymore, just occasionally go to the gym to exercise my body when I have time."

The old man smiled, stroked his white beard, thought for a while, and said: "Young man, since we can meet, it is fate, so I will say a few more words."

Zhao Desan nodded repeatedly while listening.

The white-haired old man stroked his beard and continued: "I see that your physiognomy is a person with official talent. If you are in officialdom, then listen to me a few more words. If you are not in officialdom, then just take it as me, an old man, talking nonsense."

Zhao Desan was shocked when he heard this old man's words, thinking, Mom, this is a living immortal. While listening humbly, he nodded repeatedly, signaling the old man to continue.

The old man continued: "I see that although your physiognomy is very good and you also have good luck, your eyes are dim and your eye circles are dark. It should be a loss of vitality, right?" As he spoke, the old man paused and looked at Zhao Desan with a kind smile.

Suddenly being guessed by this fortune-telling old man, Zhao Desan naturally smiled a bit embarrassedly, considering it an admission of the fortune-telling old man's guess.

The old man smiled warmly and continued: "The young man has a bright future, his destiny belongs to gold, and he has the blessing of a high-ranking official, but at the same time, he is also prone to peach blossom luck. In life, he will have emotional entanglements with many women. However, contacting too many women will have a certain negative impact on your luck."

Zhao Desan didn't expect that playing with women would have any negative impact on his official career, so he hurriedly asked: "Grandpa, what negative impact will it have?"
