Chapter 5637: What Can He Do to Me

Zhao Xue glared at Zhao Desan, blaming him for bringing this matter up. However, after this matter was brought up, the atmosphere became lively, and the awkwardness between the mother and daughter disappeared. The thing most feared in this world is a lack of communication; as long as communication is good, where can there be a problem that cannot be solved? Especially in the mother-daughter relationship; it is said that there are no overnight grudges between mother and daughter. Zhao Desan now truly agreed with this statement.

The old lady kept Zhao Desan and specially prepared a sumptuous dinner. After the meal, Zhao Desan wanted to say goodbye, but under the old lady's enthusiastic persuasion, he had no choice but to stay the night.

Of course, as a daughter returning to her maiden home, Zhao Xue also stayed here. The two were arranged in the room next door. After dinner, Zhao Desan chatted with the old lady for a while, talking about some trivial matters. Seeing that it was getting late, the old lady went to sleep.

After the old lady entered her room, Zhao Desan and Zhao Xue walked to the balcony to chat. Zhao Desan lit a cigarette, sat directly on the chair on the balcony, smoked slowly, and looked at the deep-in-thought Zhao Xue.

"What are you looking at? Looking so intently?" Zhao Xue sat opposite Zhao Desan and asked with a smile.

"Looking at you. Do you think my eyes can hold anything else besides you?" Zhao Desan said to her with a smile.

"You're so cheesy. What's there to look at in me?" Zhao Xue lowered her head a bit shyly, looking just like a young wife.

"A cloud-like bun of wavy hair, moon-like eyebrows, a pair of almond eyes shining with brilliance, a straight and delicate nose, peach-blossom cheeks slightly flushed, two cherry lips like drops of cinnabar, a goose-egg face with patches of rosy glow, skin as tender as soft honey, an alluring figure—truly a beauty like a fairy." Looking at Zhao Xue's shy appearance, Zhao Desan couldn't help but recall a description of a young married woman from an article and recited it with a smile.

"Why don't you go into literature? I didn't realize you had such high literary attainments." Zhao Xue rolled her eyes at Zhao Desan, but couldn't hide the sweetness between her brows.

"For me, this is called expressing feelings. Actually, I write articles quite well too; it's mainly because the model is good. Just like painting a human body, only with a good model can the painted figure be more exquisite." Zhao Desan said with a smile while smoking.

"You're getting more and more glib. Let me ask you, when you snatched the phone today, had you already decided to tell my mother about this?" Zhao Xue suddenly remembered that matter and asked.

"No. At that time, I was full of anger; how could I think so much? Telling Auntie about this was also a temporary thought. Although I'm not afraid of that Feng Xiaoqing, I don't like being stabbed in the back." Zhao Desan said with a laugh.

"Did you not think about the consequences at all when you snatched the phone? Your future, your status—did you disregard them all for my sake?" Zhao Xue looked at Zhao Desan's nonchalant appearance, and couldn't help but feel moved. Women are like this; no matter how smart or strong a woman is, when she encounters this thing called love, she becomes weak and foolish.

"To say I didn't think about it that much would be impossible. After all, I'm not a child. Having been in this system for so many years and having suffered some losses, I understand that one must think thrice before acting. I'm not afraid of Feng Xiaoqing; I have my reasons. I don't have any direct relationship with him. Even if his family has strong connections, I'm in Xijing and he's in Yuyang; he can't directly touch me. Besides, I haven't been in the officialdom for nothing these past few years. I don't think he has the ability to move me. What I fear is him playing dirty. In Xijing City, I'm on my home turf and he's the guest. It's said that a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake; if he plays dirty, it's hard to say who will win. In short, I, Zhao Desan, am not afraid of him, and besides, he doesn't necessarily know it was me. At that time, I just wanted to give him a lesson and a warning not to think that women are easy to bully. When the day comes, I must make him return everything he owes you. Your Zhao family owes his family a favor, but I, Zhao Desan, do not." Zhao Desan said with a nonchalant appearance.

Looking at his expression of not being worried at all, just as Zhao Xue was about to say something, Zhao Desan muttered again: "A gentleman's revenge is not too late even after ten years. I, Zhao Desan, want to see what he can do to me!"

"Why bother? Is it meaningful to be serious with a piece of human scum?" Zhao Xue advised Zhao Desan. Actually, she was afraid that Zhao Desan would be affected by this matter.

"It's meaningless, but I've had a habit since I was a child: if I owe someone, even if I have to smash the pots and sell the iron, I will pay it back. If someone owes me, I must take it back, and with interest. He dares to bully my woman, so I must make him pay the price!" A hint of ruthlessness appeared on Zhao Desan's smiling face.

Zhao Xue wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Zhao Desan: "There are some things you won't understand, especially things between men. By the way, when are you going back?"

"Back? I don't know either." As Zhao Xue spoke, she stood up and placed her hands on the railing. She didn't want to stay in that home at all.

"If there's nothing else, you can stay at home and keep Auntie company." Zhao Desan said.

"When are you going back? Let me book your ticket in advance. There are only two flights a week from Yuyang to Xijing, and there happens to be one tomorrow. I'm afraid there won't be any tickets if there are too many people." Zhao Xue asked.

"It's okay, I can book tickets on my phone." As Zhao Desan spoke, he took out his phone and quickly booked a ticket back to Xijing for tomorrow on the Tongcheng client on his phone.

After booking the ticket, Zhao Desan stretched, yawned, and said to Zhao Xue: "Are you going to sleep? I'm a bit sleepy. Let's go to sleep."

"You sleep your sleep, why are you calling me? I want to stand for a while longer." Zhao Xue said.

"If you don't sleep, won't I be sleeping alone? Do you want me to have a lonely night?" Zhao Desan said with a wicked smile.

"So you... you are planning to sleep with me tonight?" Zhao Xue asked in surprise.

"Not necessarily, but if you are willing, we can sleep together in my bed." Zhao Desan winked at her and said.

"Your courage is getting bigger and bigger. This is my home; aren't you afraid of my mom?" Zhao Xue looked at Zhao Desan's cheeky appearance and was completely speechless.

"Not afraid. Didn't Auntie say that if you find a suitable person, you should be with him? Maybe Auntie will call me son-in-law tomorrow." Zhao Desan said with shameless laughter. ===== CHAPTER 5638 =====
