Chapter 5537

Fan Yanran's face instantly turned bright red. She lowered her head and remained silent for a long time, then stammered, "Did you call out my sister's name again last night? Do you also have that kind of relationship with my sister?"

"Ah." Zhao Desan pretended to be surprised, widened his eyes, then rubbed his nose and asked, "How did you know? Could you tell?"

"Mm, I figured it out a long time ago. Your relationship with my sister isn't normal; I just didn't want to say anything," Fan Yanran said in a low voice with her head bowed. "Actually, my sister is quite pitiful too. My brother-in-law works in the military, and they only see each other a few times a year at most. I understand my sister."

"That... that's because I really like you two sisters too much," Zhao Desan said while rubbing his nose.

"Actually, the one in your room last night wasn't my sister... it was... it was me..." Fan Yanran finally said what she had been meaning to say.

"It was you?" Zhao Desan looked at her with a feigned expression of astonishment. "Could it be that last night we already... already did that?"

"Mm." Fan Yanran gave a soft 'mm' and nodded.

"Why did you want to give your first time to me?" Zhao Desan asked.

"Because I wanted to repay you. If it weren't for you, I don't know if I could have found a job by now." Fan Yanran glanced shyly at Zhao Desan from the corner of her eye. "I don't dislike you, Brother Zhao. I think you're a very interesting person."

Very interesting? Hearing her describe him like that, Zhao Desan couldn't help but chuckle twice, then patted his chest and said, "Yanran, don't worry. As long as you or your sister have any trouble in the future, I will definitely help if I can. From now on, we're all one family."

After the secret was revealed, that awkwardness vanished. When the two of them returned home talking and laughing, they discovered that Fan Binbin had already returned. When Zhao Desan opened the door, he saw Fan Binbin leaning against the doorway in her pajamas, looking at him and Fan Yanran with a strange expression. She asked expressionlessly, "Where did you two go?"

"Went out for a meal," Zhao Desan replied hurriedly.

"Yanran, it's getting late. Go wash up and get some sleep first; I need to talk to him." After sending her sister away, Fan Binbin followed Zhao Desan into his room.

Zhao Desan sat down on the edge of the bed, lit a cigarette, and asked with feigned nonchalance, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Are you still trying to hit on my sister?" Fan Binbin sat down beside him as she spoke and asked seriously.

"I... how could I..." Zhao Desan denied it, looking at her with a feigned expression of grievance. "Isn't it just that you came back late and were hungry, so we went out for a meal? I couldn't just look after myself and ignore your sister, could I?"

"Do you really have no designs on Yanran?" Fan Binbin looked at him skeptically and interrogated him.

Zhao Desan frowned and said with a bitter smile, "Big sister, isn't this a bit like a forced confession? Do you only believe me if I say I do?"

Looking at Zhao Desan's adorable expression, Fan Binbin couldn't help but purse her lips and smile. She tapped him on the forehead with her finger and giggled, "Look at you, if you don't, you don't." As she spoke, she took hold of one of his hands.

"What do you want to do?" Zhao Desan looked at her flirtatious demeanor and asked with his head tilted.

Fan Binbin didn't speak, her charming eyes staring straight into his. Seeing her lonely and restless expression, Zhao Desan thought to himself, 'Damn it, since I've already had the younger sister and the older sister still isn't satisfied, then take this from Old Sun!' He simply pushed her down onto the bed. Fan Binbin giggled as she playfully wrestled with Zhao Desan, and before long, the two of them were rolling around on the bed together...

Although Fan Binbin tried her best to suppress the urge to cry out from the pleasure that was driving her mad, she still couldn't help but let out low moans. At this moment, Fan Yanran, hiding in the other room, heard those faint sounds coming from the next room—the man's heavy breathing intertwined with the woman's moans—which suddenly gave her a very strange feeling in her heart. Especially in that place, it felt inexplicably as if a caterpillar had crawled inside, vaguely itching, and she couldn't help but want to reach her hand in...

After satisfying Fan Binbin, she tidied her clothes and left Zhao Desan's room with a look of contentment. Zhao Desan truly hadn't expected that he would be able to take down both sisters in such a short time. He fantasized happily about how great it would be if one day he could have both sisters serve him together!

After resting for a while, he picked up the diary Zheng Chuyi had forgotten at the guesthouse and flipped to the last page to read it again. His mood began to grow complicated; although he wasn't lacking women now, he couldn't be with the woman he truly liked, which was the most helpless thing.

At this time, Zhao Desan had no desire to sleep. Lying on the bed, his mind wandered, and he inadvertently thought of his meeting with Sister Wu today. He clearly realized that Sister Wu was in a very bad mood and didn't look well. Moreover, she usually only drank with high-level leaders, yet she had drunk so much with him. He felt she must have had something heavy on her mind, but because the little nanny Li Shuangfei was present, it was inconvenient for her to tell him directly. Before leaving, she hinted that if he had time in the next few days, he should come to the city to find her.

Was it a family problem or a work matter? Zhao Desan didn't know. Although Sister Wu had been promoted to the position of Vice Mayor by Zhang Dewang, as a woman in the city's fiercely competitive political circles, she must be exhausted from dealing with it. For women in the officialdom, compared to men, they belong to a disadvantaged group.

The most important point in officialdom is interpersonal relationships, and statistics show that the proportion of female cadres among the cadre group is only about twenty percent. Moreover, the heads of many departments with real power are often dominated by male cadres, and female cadres often only play an inconspicuous role.

Men can interact through the wine table or through 'sex,' making it easy to build extensive connections. For women in officialdom, their greatest advantage is themselves. If their innate conditions are good and they can be favored by leaders, perhaps they can take a shortcut.

Wu Min also took a certain shortcut because of her own innate advantages, but this could not become the foundation for her to establish herself in political circles. In the special ecological environment of officialdom, women have a psychological disadvantage. They are often timid and fearful in their thinking, feeling inferior and uncompetitive.

Due to the influence of thousands of years of remnants of feudal social thought, women have formed a morbid sense of inferiority, narrow-mindedness, and jealousy. This forms a strong contrast with their self-abasement and weakness; its characteristics are a refusal to accept strong people of the same sex, jealousy and complaints toward competitors, and a lack of desire to compete. They have low expectations for self-success, are passive in politics, and are content with the status quo.

Under the influence of the traditional concept of 'the husband's honor is the wife's glory,' female cadres often consciously retreat in competition, are willing to be foils, and easily give up their political pursuits.

The next day happened to be the weekend, so Zhao Desan prepared to go to the city to see Sister Wu and, by the way, return those books to Zheng Chuyi.

Lying on the bed smoking a cigarette, just as Zhao Desan was about to turn off the light and sleep, the room door was suddenly pushed open slowly from the outside with a creak. Zhao Desan was startled and discovered it was Fan Binbin. He saw her walking in with a hint of a charming smile on her face, wearing a black silk bathrobe, and then she closed the door.

"Sister Fan, why aren't you asleep yet? Is something the matter?" Zhao Desan looked at her mysterious, smiling expression, and asked as he climbed out of bed, feeling a bit puzzled.

"I can't sleep right now. Tomorrow is the weekend, and you civil servants don't have to go to work, so why don't you chat with me for a while?" Fan Binbin looked at Zhao Desan with charming, watery eyes, a mature woman's flirtatious smile on her face, and as she spoke, she walked over and sat on the edge of Zhao Desan's bed.

Seeing her acting so casual in front of him now, especially with her underwear faintly visible under that nightgown, making this military wife look very flirtatious, he thought wickedly in his heart, then grinned shamelessly and said, "You're not unable to sleep; you're just lonely, right?" As he spoke, he hugged Fan Binbin's soft, boneless waist and rolled onto the bed.

"Wait, you were sweating just now and haven't showered yet. Go take a shower first, let's chat for a bit, and we'll do it after Yanran falls asleep." Fan Binbin struggled from his embrace and said to him in a low voice.

Zhao Desan kissed her lips unwillingly before climbing off her. As he walked toward the bathroom in the room, he looked back and said with a wicked smile, "Then you get into bed and wait for me under the covers first." With that, he ducked into the bathroom, stripped off his close-fitting clothes in a flash, adjusted the water temperature, and stood under the showerhead, whistling happily as he took a hot bath.

Fan Binbin looked at this little man who was sometimes a bit childish. Compared to her husband who worked in the military, she liked him very much. Because her husband worked in the military year-round, the two of them were separated more than they were together. Although they were husband and wife in name, they were actually no different from strangers. Every time her husband came back, after they met, Fan Binbin didn't feel anything for him. But although she hadn't known this little man for long, his humorous personality was very likable, and he would always blurt out something that made people burst into laughter from time to time. Being with him was very happy.

Zhao Desan came out of the bathroom after a comfortable hot bath, holding a towel to dry his hair. He looked at Fan Binbin, who had already crawled under the covers, and said, "How is it? Has work been okay lately?"
