Chapter 1069: Let Me Tell You a Secret!

The driver dropped Mao Yu off at a residential complex in the city.

Mao Yu instructed, "Come pick me up at ten tomorrow morning."

The driver acknowledged the order, then remembered the gift bag in the trunk, "What should I do with the things Mayor Yang gave you?"

Mao Yu waved his hand, "I don't need them. You deal with them!"

The driver had followed Mao Yu for many years and knew this was his habit; he didn't care for small items and would usually give them to him.

Mao Yu navigated the familiar path to one of the apartment buildings, took the elevator to the ninth floor, and pressed the doorbell.

A moment later, a woman wearing pajamas opened the door, smiled as she took the coat from Mao Yu's hands, and gazed at him with tender affection, "Hurry and change your shoes."

Mao Yu changed his shoes and sat on the sofa; the woman brought him a glass of honey water, "You drank quite a bit of alcohol; drink some honey water to sober up."

Mao Yu took the glass and reached out to hold the woman's wrist, "Haizao, only here with you can I let down all my defenses and relax completely. I thank fate countless times for letting me meet you at my age."

Hearing Mao Yu say this, Li Haizao lay in his arms as docile as a lamb, "What do you mean 'at your age'? You aren't that old."

Mao Yu laughed in spite of himself, "I'm over forty; isn't that old?"

Li Haizao smiled enchantingly, "Your biological age is only twenty."

Mao Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud, "I love hearing that."

After saying this, he reached out and began to roam over Li Haizao's body.

Li Haizao was the type to be physically sensitive; after her chest was pinched twice, her body lost all strength, and she sat in Mao Yu's arms, melting as if she had no bones.

Mao Yu and Li Haizao had known each other for some time.

Li Haizao was initially a receptionist at a development company.

The boss of this company was named Chen Shunfei, who had frequently interacted with Mao Yu in order to secure some projects in Yechuan County.

One time, Li Haizao received the task of delivering a document to Mao Yu.

Mao Yu was instantly captivated by Li Haizao, who had just entered society at the time and still retained a student-like air.

During subsequent interactions with Chen Shunfei, Mao Yu mentioned a few times that the girl, Little Li, at their company was quite good.

Chen Shunfei immediately reacted with keen insight, so he deliberately arranged for Li Haizao and Mao Yu to meet at a dinner party.

In the process of interacting with Li Haizao, Mao Yu felt as if he had returned to his college days, the state of pursuing pure and true love, and he launched an aggressive pursuit of Li Haizao.

Li Haizao originally had a boyfriend, but the boyfriend had just entered society like her and only had a salary of two thousand yuan a month; although he was very considerate to Li Haizao, he could not satisfy her material needs.

The cell phone rang, and Li Haizao glanced at it; it was a call from her boyfriend, Feng Feng.

"Honey, where are you? Have you arrived at the hotel yet!"

Li Haizao said, "I'm still on the road; it will probably be very late by the time I get to the hotel. I'll send you a message once I arrive."

Suddenly, a strange sensation came from her lower abdomen.

Li Haizao bit her lip and glared at Mao Yu in shy anger.

Mao Yu looked at Li Haizao with a wicked grin.

He knew Li Haizao had a boyfriend.

Li Haizao knew he had a family.

But it was precisely this conflict between secularity and ethics that added a sense of madness and excitement to their relationship.

Feng Feng heard his girlfriend's panic, "Did something happen?"

The girlfriend hurriedly explained, "I saw a stinky cockroach. I won't talk anymore, I'm hanging up."

Feng Feng stared at his phone, silent for a long time, and muttered to himself, "Are there cockroaches on the bus too?"

Putting the phone aside, Li Haizao glared at Mao Yu with feigned anger, "I'm on the phone, aren't you afraid of being discovered?" Mao Yu slowly moved away from Li Haizao and smiled, "I am afraid, of course, but I like the way you lied just now even more."

Li Haizao pressed her finger against Mao Yu's forehead, "You, you're really wicked."

Mao Yu pulled Li Haizao into his arms and sighed, "Although I know my own thoughts are a bit selfish, whenever I think of you lying in another man's arms, talking of love with him, I feel particularly angry."

Hearing Mao Yu say this, Li Haizao felt a complex mix of emotions in her heart.

She had been with Feng Feng for several years, but even though she was with Mao Yu, she experienced material abundance.

She had never dared to enter luxury stores when she went to high-end shopping malls before.

But ever since she met Mao Yu, she could go shopping every once in a while; every time she saw the envy in the attendants' eyes, her vanity was immensely satisfied.

When Feng Feng took out his bankbook and told her that through a year of overtime, he had finally saved one hundred thousand, and could pay the down payment for a wedding home next year.

Mao Yu suddenly gifted her a house paid for in full, with only her name on it; this huge contrast made her unable to control herself any longer.

If she had felt hatred after betraying Feng Feng following that drunken night, perhaps she might have.

But now, she worried that Mao Yu would one day grow tired of her, so every time she met with Mao Yu, she would try every possible way to please him.

If Feng Feng saw her current state, he would be shocked beyond measure.

Because in her relationship with Feng Feng, it had always been Feng Feng who was forever pleasing her, with her as the priority.

Li Haizao touched Mao Yu's face, "County Magistrate Mao, why did you take a fancy to me? I have a boyfriend, and there are many women prettier than me."

Mao Yu pulled Li Haizao into his arms, "Remember after that drunken impulse? The next day I saw bloodstains on the sheets. I was really surprised at the time, because students these days are all very open, and you and Feng Feng had been dating for several years. I didn't expect you to have kept the most precious thing."

Let me tell you a secret!

My wife's first time wasn't with me. Although I never showed it, I still harbored resentment in my heart.

So after I met you, I cherished you especially!"

Li Haizao had heard Mao Yu say this more than once, and each time she felt very guilty; in fact, the reason there were bloodstains on the sheets that time was because she was just about to have her period, which caused Mao Yu to misunderstand.

Li Haizao couldn't explain it, so she could only let the mistake stand.

Mao Yu was just preparing to share some intimacy with Li Haizao.

Chen Shunfei's call came in at an inopportune time.

Mao Yu said with some impatience, "What time is it now? Is there something that can't wait until tomorrow?"

Chen Shunfei frowned, "There is a matter that requires your coordination. A work group came to the construction site today to inspect, and they said there are many safety measures at the site that are not up to standard, so they are making us stop work for rectification."

Mao Yu frowned upon hearing this, "The county is currently pushing the Safety Production Rectification Action; this is a task spearheaded by the new County Magistrate since taking office, so you still need to cooperate."

"This will affect the project schedule; if delivery is delayed, the penalty for breach of contract will be a huge expense," Chen Shunfei complained.

Mao Yu rubbed his temples, "You deal with it for now, and I will try my best to coordinate for you."

After hanging up the phone with Chen Shunfei, Mao Yu dialed the number of the Director of the County Construction Bureau.

"This is Mao Yu."

"County Magistrate Mao, what are your instructions?"

"Chen Shunfei just called me, saying their construction site has to stop work for rectification. Is this true?"

"I have no choice either; this is an order handed down by County Magistrate Tang."

"There is no need to stop work for adjustments. I will have Chen Shunfei implement proper safety construction measures. If County Magistrate Tang asks, just say this was my decision!"

"Understood, I know what to do!"

Subsequently, Mao Yu dialed Chen Shunfei's phone, "I have already communicated it. There is no need to stop work, but you must strengthen safety measures. If another safety accident occurs, I will not spare you."

"It really takes you to step in to get things done. Rest assured, I won't cause you any more trouble!"

Watching the man who was usually imposing in the company act as submissive as a kitten in front of Mao Yu.

Li Haizao sighed inwardly, there are many charms that make men most attractive to women.

The one that ranks first is not appearance, nor talent, and not even wealth, but power!
