Chapter 1610 - 1610:
Zuo Xintong could only muster a bitter smile, not knowing what to say.
Perhaps, Liu Zhizhong had touched the depths of her heart.
Originally, after her boyfriend went abroad and never returned, Zuo Xintong had no intention of marrying.
As for love, she had given up.
But now, Liu Zhizhong's intrusion stirred waves in her heart once again.
However, because of her elder brother's political ambitions, she had no choice but to marry Tang Zhi, a man thrice married, alas...
Who truly knows the hardship of a woman from a prestigious family?
Zuo Xintong glanced out of the airplane window, her gaze becoming somewhat hollow.
She blankly stared at the early winter sun rising outside, and the layers of clouds, her heart a mix of emotions.
The tenderness and rare passion of Liu Zhizhong felt like a warm ray of sunshine, penetrating the gloom in her heart, making her feel the long-lost flutter of her heart.
But this emotion seemed ill-timed, tightly bound by the shackles of reality.
She knew well that her brother's political path could not tolerate any mishaps, and the marriage alliance with Tang Zhi was the inevitable result of family interests. Even if she didn't like this man, who couldn't compare with Liu Zhizhong, she could only endure.
Sacrificing personal happiness to uphold family honor seemed to be her destiny as a child of a prestigious family.
Zuo Xintong couldn't help but smile bitterly; this bitterness was even more than the bitter coffee Liu Zhizhong had just brewed on the helicopter.
Liu Zhizhong handed her the coffee, and she took a sip.
Instantly, she felt the true bitterness, but her spirits lifted.
Zuo Xintong couldn't help but say, "Zhizhong, you know, during the days of marrying back in Huitian City, I really can't and it's inconvenient to contact you."
"During lonely nights, I often cry alone, pondering the meaning of life and the value of freedom, feeling melancholic."
"Every time dawn breaks, I must put away all emotions, wear that mask of indifference, and continue to play the role the family expects."
"Behind the glamorous facade of a prestigious family lies untold bitterness and helplessness. Perhaps only those who are also part of it can truly empathize."
Liu Zhizhong couldn't help but reach out and gently pat her shoulder, saying, "I know, I know it all. Mayor Zuo has it tough, everyone has it tough. I hope we still have a chance to be together, cherishing all the time we have. I can't do much for you, I just hope you can be a little happier."
"Being with you, you rascal, truly makes me happy. Hopefully, you don't just want to sleep with me."
"What nonsense are you saying? Besides sleeping with you, I care about you, feel for you, and want to spoil you! Just wait until Director Tang is gone, and see how I'll spoil you, hmph hmph..."
"Haha... you rascal..."
Zuo Xintong truly laughed, a laugh so beautiful and enchanting.
This smile bore the captivating charm of a woman at her age, causing Liu Zhizhong's heart to race, nearly shamelessly excited.
"Mayor Zuo laughed, my goal is achieved. As long as you're happy, that's my sincere wish."
"Thank you, Zhizhong..."
"Can't help it, who said I'm virtually your husband, although of the wild kind."
"Come, come, come..."
"Hehe..."
Liu Zhizhong chuckled mischievously, then said, "After the committee meeting is over, why not return to Shuangxin Courtyard?"
Zuo Xintong glanced at him and replied, "Not going back, you're bad!"
