Chapter 1600 - 1600:
Liu Zhizhong was, of course, very excited, with an inexplicable sense of restlessness.
This feeling, it truly had the impulsive sensation of a long-separated couple reuniting, which he found unbelievable himself.
Immediately, Liu Zhizhong replied: "Okay, Mayor Zuo, got it! Safe travels!"
Zuo Xintong didn't reply, but Liu Zhizhong didn't mind, on the contrary, he understood. After all, she was now a married woman, no longer the single lady she used to be.
Sometimes, between men and women, just a little lack of understanding and tolerance, or a bit of lost chemistry, leads to so much love and hate drama.
The relationship between men and women is fundamentally simple, but things just get too complicated.
After lunch, Liu Zhizhong didn't rest at all, instead, he reviewed a lot of documents, all of which had accumulated over the past week. Last week, half the time was spent assembling a log cabin and the other half was spent messing around with Zhang Minmin on Tianping Peak! But work still needs to be done!
By mid-afternoon, Liu Zhizhong finally finished a day's work and prepared to leave early for Shuangxin Courtyard to prepare a nice meal for Zuo Xintong.
As for what to eat and drink, Liu Zhizhong had already envisioned it all in his mind.
For such a reunion, such a man is very considerate. Very grand, very ceremonial.
He even ordered a big bouquet of fresh flowers, infusing it with romantic emotions, haha...
However, just as he drove out of the County Committee and County Government office and received the flowers delivered to him, alas... a message from Zuo Xintong came in.
"We're on the special flight now, and my husband is traveling with me. His name is Tang Zhi, and he'd like to thank you in person. I hope you guys will have a pleasant chat, and the three of us can have an enjoyable evening together!"
Liu Zhizhong suddenly felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, chilling him to his core.
Well, it's all over...
The carefree days he had hoped and imagined seemed even more out of reach!
She came back to work in Huayang City and brought her husband with her. But, this Director Tang, who is always so busy, does he even have the time to stay here for long?
Mm, Liu Zhizhong comforted himself to the utmost! Husband is here, let's welcome him, he's not going to be around for long anyway. The remaining time will still be his fun! Even if Zuo Xintong has to be transferred elsewhere, there should still be a transition period for work handover or whatever.
So, Liu Zhizhong immediately replied: "Okay, warmly welcome Director Tang to Shuangxin Courtyard. Mayor Zuo, do we need to arrange for some local leaders to accompany us?"
"No need, thank you!"
"Okay, I'll head back home to prepare dinner then."
"Alright!"
Ending the contact, Liu Zhizhong still felt a huge sense of disappointment, but his mood was also well-adjusted.
He took a deep breath, let out a long exhale, and his mood stabilized.
Just as he was about to start the car, Zhang Minmin called.
"Hey, husband, the elder cousin just contacted me! She'll be back tonight, planning to have dinner with us at Shuangxin Courtyard, and her husband will be joining too. Can you come pick me up first, and I'll help you prepare dinner, okay?"
Liu Zhizhong's head felt a little overwhelmed, but he still smiled and said, "No problem, I'll be home soon, I'll come get you from the plane."
"Alright, waiting for you, husband! Tonight, let's come clean to the elder cousin and tell her that we're together."
Liu Zhizhong: "..."
