Chapter 2861

Tong Xiaoli didn't return to the unit, but returned to the house she rented in the district. She lay on the large sofa, thinking about what Zheng Jie said today, not knowing what she should do. At this time, she was completely confused. Since she was a child, she had always had clear life goals, the path she wanted to take, and the things she wanted, all very clear. But in the matter of feelings, Tong Xiaoli's head was a mess. She didn't know how to face what Zheng Jie said. In terms of feelings, she liked Zhao De, which was an indisputable fact. But her family opposed it, which was also beyond doubt. Sitting on the sofa, Tong Xiaoli hugged the pillow, looking depressed.

After receiving Tong Xiaoli's call, Zhao De's sleepiness disappeared instantly. Sitting on the edge of the bed, cold sweat appeared on his face unconsciously. He was a bit worried about what Zheng Jie said to Tong Xiaoli. After all, coming out of the coffee shop with Tong Xiaoli that day and running into Zheng Jie was an accident. He didn't expect to run into Zheng Jie there so coincidentally. But fortunately, he and Tong Xiaoli didn't have any overly intimate actions. Just from a woman's standpoint, seeing a man she likes with another woman, she must be unhappy. This is inevitable. Could it be because of this that Zheng Jie went to find Tong Xiaoli? Zhao De sat on the edge of the bed guessing Zheng Jie's purpose for finding Tong Xiaoli.

"Buzz buzz buzz..." The phone rang again.

Zhao De picked up the phone from the bed, pressed the answer button, didn't even look at it, and connected it directly, asking with an irritable mood: "Hello! Who is this?"

"..."

"You better come, my head is a bit uncomfortable."

"..."

After finishing the call, Zhao De put the phone on the table and continued to doze off on the bed.

Twenty minutes passed unconsciously, and someone knocked on Zhao De's door outside.

"Deng deng deng..." Zhao De heard the knocking, climbed up and sat straight, rubbed his eyes, and said: "Come in."

Zhao De looked at the person coming in and played dumb: "You're here, what's the matter?"

"What's wrong with you? When you called just now, your voice sounded wrong."

It must be wrong. Tong Xiaoli just called to say that Zheng Jie had been to find her, and then Zheng Jie called. His tone on the phone carried dissatisfaction with Zheng Jie. Hearing Zheng Jie ask this, Zhao De forced his spirit and said: "No, what can I have?"

Zheng Jie looked at Zhao De with suspicious eyes and smiled: "Still lying to me, look at your panda eyes, what bad things did you do last night, confess honestly." As she spoke, Zheng Jie walked over and sat on the sofa, with a gentle smile on her face, looking at Zhao De.

Zhao De followed over, sat down beside Zheng Jie, and said with sweet words: "Thinking of you, what else can I do?"

Zheng Jie's face was blushing, and she smiled coquettishly: "Your mouth is like it's smeared with honey, it's sweet."

Zhao De lay down, pillowing his head on Zheng Jie's lap, looking at the ceiling. Zheng Jie massaged Zhao De's head and said: "Why, didn't you see that beautiful female assistant?"

Zhao De said "woo woo": "She left."

Zheng Jie didn't understand and asked curiously: "Left, why did she leave?"

Zhao De closed his eyes and said: "Returned to the unit, she didn't come for training, just came over to report work to me."

Zheng Jie smiled and said: "Youth is really good, you can be brave for anything."

Zhao De got up from Zheng Jie, then looked at Zheng Jie seriously and said with some doubt: "Why are you so sentimental?"

Zheng Jie looked at Zhao De's silly look and couldn't help but laugh. While laughing, she said: "Nothing, just talking, look at your silly look, hehe."

"Just talking? You scared me to death." Zhao De stared, and Zheng Jie laughed again.

Zhao De said: "We are not old either, we are still very young, aren't we?"

Zheng Jie nodded, signaling Zhao De to lie down. Zhao De obediently lay on Zheng Jie's lap, and Zheng Jie continued to massage Zhao De's temples gently.

Zheng Jie said: "You are very young, but I am already old. In a few years, I will be old and yellow, and my face will be full of wrinkles. At that time, I will be very ugly. At that time, Xiao Zhaozi, will you still like me?"

Zhao De smiled 'hehe' and said: "It depends on the situation, hehe."

Zheng Jie immediately used force on her hands, and Zhao De shouted in pain: "Are you trying to murder your husband?"

Zheng Jie also looked at him with strange eyes and said wickedly: "Whose husband? Anyway, not mine."

Zhao De made a gesture of surrender, which made Zheng Jie giggle.

Zhao De liked the current atmosphere and feeling very much. When he first met Zheng Jie, Zheng Jie was like a mature and beautiful little wife, doing everything according to his face, and most of the time she was quiet. After being in contact for a while, he realized that Zheng Jie was more like a big sister, always taking care of him. Thinking about it, this feeling is better, just like peers, more like falling in love, sweet and greasy, very much want to try. Zhao De thought, it's good like this now. Even if the people around him are all gone, Zheng Jie will not leave him. Zhao De is very firm about this, because people are emotional animals. Only by treating others with heart will others treat you with heart. In the past two years, Zhao De has paid too much for Zheng Jie's family. Even if Zheng Jie marries him, she cannot compensate him equally. So he is sure that a woman who values feelings and righteousness like Zheng Jie will definitely not leave him again.

Zheng Jie looked at Zhao De's thoughtful look and couldn't help but say: "Xiao Zhaozi, let's get married."

Hearing the sensitive word 'marriage', Zhao De couldn't help but jump up from Zheng Jie and said: "Why?"

Zheng Jie didn't expect Zhao De's reaction to be so big. She thought about Zhao De staring at her with wide eyes when he heard her idea, and also thought about him looking very surprised, but she didn't expect Zhao De's physical reaction to be so intense.

Zhao De looked at Zheng Jie's indifferent reaction to him and realized that his reaction was a bit too big and a bit unseemly. He hurriedly explained: "Xiao Jie, it's not what you think. It's not that I don't want to get married, but the situation is very complicated now. It's not that we can do whatever we want. You also know my current situation. I can't go up, and I can't go down. I have offended so many people, and my life is in the hands of others. That old guy Zheng Tulu has been waiting for me to make mistakes. If I take one wrong step, I will lose everything, and my life will be over."

As he spoke, Zhao De sighed and looked at the ceiling dejectedly, saying: "It's not that one wrong step means losing everything, but what's more terrible is that even a tiny mistake will lead to unimaginable consequences."

As he spoke, Zhao De closed his eyes and lay on the sofa, thinking that Liu Ziqiang is not a good example. It's not that his background is not hard enough, and it's not that he is not talented enough, but he was too careless and too arrogant, made small mistakes, and his future was ruined.

Zheng Jie frowned her beautiful eyebrows and said: "We can not have these. You can resign, we can find a job together, and live a plain life, isn't that good? I don't want you to have high official positions and great wealth, I just want to have a home with you."

Zhao De said: "This is my career. How many men want to have a career in officialdom like me? Besides, I have gone through thousands of hardships and various open spears and hidden arrows to get to this position. How can I resign casually?"

Seeing Zhao De's extremely serious and earnest look, Zheng Jie didn't say anything.

After a while, Zheng Jie sighed and said very understandingly: "Since ancient times, it has been 'first establish a family, then establish a career'. However, I think this is not ancient times. Many things are no longer so absolute. Like the word 'establish a family and establish a career', it is no longer applicable in today's society. You are right, you are young and promising, and your work is in a state of progress. You cannot ruin your future because of a small matter." Zheng Jie's words carried some helpless resentment, deliberately calling marriage a small matter.

Zhao De looked at Zheng Jie's disappointed look and knew that Zheng Jie would definitely be sad if he opposed marriage. However, Zhao De didn't know why, but he always didn't want to lock his freedom with marriage. Zhao De often saw some families nagging about trivial matters of firewood, rice, oil, and salt, and Zhao De didn't want to live that kind of life too early.

"How can marrying you be a small matter? Don't think wildly, I will never abandon you." Zhao De comforted Zheng Jie's disappointed mood.

Hearing Zhao De's warm words, Zheng Jie smiled gently and continued: "Although I haven't read many books, I still understand the truth that 'it is cold at the top'. I know you have difficulties. No matter what, I still support you."
