Chapter 1435 - 1435
"Liu Zhizhong, are you doing this on purpose? Did my words just go in one ear and out the other?"
Zuo Xintong was clearly displeased, her tone was cold and scolding.
Liu Zhizhong looked completely innocent, spreading his hands, "Mayor Zuo, it's not what you think. I did talk to them! But they went back to the Provincial City yesterday morning, saying it was an old leader's birthday, and the family needed extra hands, so they had to take a trip back! You know how it is with old leaders' birthdays, there are always formalities to observe!"
Zuo Xintong's expression finally softened a bit, "The old leader and you have quite a good relationship, don't you? How come you didn't go for his birthday?"
"I'm here to help the two mayors move house, I can't just leave!"
Liu Zhizhong looked even more innocent, and as he spoke, he went to open the trunk to start moving things.
Zuo Xintong continued, "Then what about dinner tonight? Don't tell me we have to cook ourselves?"
Liu Zhizhong laughed, "No need for you two, I've already prepared the ingredients for dinner in the afternoon. Once we're done here, you two can just walk around and have some tea while I handle the cooking."
Zuo Xintong's expression became even more relaxed, "You can cook?"
"Yes! Not to brag, but my cooking skills are quite decent. I wonder if they'll pass your scrutiny."
"Haha, we'll see then!"
As they were talking, Bai Qiuxia was already wandering in the courtyard, admiring the flowers and garden layout. She truly liked it!
Liu Zhizhong was busy moving things and delivering them to the two mayors' courtyard, sweating all over!
Bai and Zuo were quite satisfied with the three little courtyards Liu Zhizhong had arranged; they were indeed very private.
After moving everything, Liu Zhizhong was preparing to make another trip to the city, but Zuo Xintong stopped him.
"Hey, where's your kitchen, and what have you prepared?"
Liu Zhizhong was taken aback but smiled, "The kitchen is in my small courtyard! You two shouldn't just go in and look around; there's fresh food in there, and it doesn't smell too pleasant."
Mayor Bai Qiuxia then said, "Xiao Liu, you go to the city to fetch things, and we'll go to the kitchen to make dinner."
This time, Liu Zhizhong was a bit shocked but also felt a sense of camaraderie with Bai Qiuxia.
However, he quickly shook his head, "No, no, no, how could that be? Mayor Bai, you and Mayor Zuo should rest! I'll bring everything back in the second trip, then prepare dinner, and it'll be ready for dinner time. You two just arrived and aren't familiar with the kitchen gear. The kitchen knives are really sharp, and if anything happens, I couldn't bear the responsibility! Please, just spare me!"
He spoke so pitifully that he amused the two women, who then didn't insist.
As Liu Zhizhong drove back to the city, he felt a bit regretful. Sigh, they treat me like this, what's the harm in letting them cook dinner tonight?
But no, still have to cook myself, can't delay the grand plan, haha…
So, Liu Zhizhong went to the city alone for the second trip, after all, it was only a half-hour drive, quite close.
The two beautiful mayors naturally strolled around the Shuangxin Courtyard, then outside, feeling the autumn breeze and charming fall aesthetics, this place was truly amazing.
The two arrived at the Twin Heart of Shuangxin Valley, where the sky was high, the clouds thin, and the air refreshing, a uniquely delightful experience.
It was then that Bai Qiuxia's phone rang…
