Chapter 1597 - 1597: The First Marriage
Liu Zhizhong was stunned...
He had originally thought that Zuo Xintong had returned to Huitian City for some other big reason, which is why she was delayed for so long.
But he never expected it to really be a big deal—and it was for marriage!
He hadn't noticed it beforehand, she hadn't mentioned anything!
Holy crap... there hadn't even been time for any antics with Mayor Zuo, and she's already getting married?
Instinctively, Liu Zhizhong touched his chin and asked, "Which marriage is this for her?"
Zhang Minmin rolled her eyes at Liu Zhizhong while skewering some food, "What do you mean, which marriage? It's her first!"
Liu Zhizhong: "..."
He was truly speechless.
"No way... at her age, it's actually her first marriage? How is that even possible..."
Indeed, as far as Liu Zhizhong knew about Zuo Xintong, well... she had a wealth of life experience, a very mature woman, yet this is her first marriage?
Zhang Minmin nodded, "There are a lot of things you wouldn't believe. Anyway, it's really her first marriage!"
"She had a boyfriend before, right?"
"Isn't that obvious? She had boyfriends in the past... sigh!"
Zhang Minmin sighed, putting down the skewer, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, "Their story is quite touching."
Hearing this, Liu Zhizhong was a bit surprised, "What's the story?"
Zhang Minmin picked up a new skewer and looked seriously at Liu Zhizhong while grilling, "During college, my elder cousin dated a boyfriend from a humble background but with great academic talent. They were together for five years but eventually separated. After the boyfriend went abroad for further studies, he never came back."
"Though they broke up, that relationship held significant meaning for my elder cousin. Those years together were arguably the most passionate and dream-filled days of her life."
"After that, although there were no shortage of suitors, my elder cousin never started a new relationship. She said it wasn't because she couldn't find anyone better, but because there was always a place in her heart for that unfulfilled love. She needed time to heal, hehe..."
After listening, Liu Zhizhong fell silent for a long time. He began to reassess his understanding of Zuo Xintong, realizing that behind the seemingly strong and cold woman, there was such a delicate and profound emotional world.
"So... her getting married now, is she finally moving on, or..." Liu Zhizhong asked tentatively.
Zhang Minmin smiled slightly, "It's both letting go and a new beginning. As for her marriage partner this time, she doesn't really like him, even I found it rather disheartening to hear."
"What? Is it that serious? Who is she marrying? Did they actually get the marriage certificate?" Liu Zhizhong was taken aback.
With such a disheartening partner, considering Zuo Xintong's character, would she really go through with it?
Zhang Minmin rolled her eyes at him, "Look at how excited you are, it's like you care a lot about my elder cousin, you two..."
Saying this, Zhang Minmin's face turned slightly red, with a bad feeling arising in her heart.
Liu Zhizhong immediately put on a serious face, "Hey, Minmin, what nonsense are you talking? Mayor Zuo is in a higher position, I'm just a subordinate, we are absolutely clear!"
"Why are you nervous? The more you explain, the more suspicious it seems, you men, humph..."
"Alright, it's not what you're thinking. Just tell me, who did Mayor Zuo marry that she looks so wronged."
Seeing that Zhang Minmin was going to pursue his words further, Liu Zhizhong quickly changed the subject...
