Chapter 1625 - 1625
Zuo Xintong's heart skipped a beat, still feeling slightly flustered.
After all, once her husband opened up openly, they finally touched upon this sensitive issue.
From a woman's perspective, instinctively, she really didn't want to talk about this matter.
However, facing Tang Zhi at this moment, Zuo Xintong knew she probably couldn't avoid it anymore.
Tang Zhi saw the situation, smiled faintly, and said, "Xintong, have I come to this stage, yet I'm not even entitled to this bit of knowledge?"
"No, husband, it's just a little... a little embarrassing," Zuo Xintong's voice sounded slightly less firm.
Tang Zhi nodded, "Yes, I understand you. The man who has entered your life, and the one who got you pregnant, must be very outstanding, someone worthy of your cherishing and protection, right?"
Zuo Xintong shyly and somewhat guiltily bowed her head.
Tang Zhi said, "Go on, I won't do anything to this man. After all, he has also earned me some face, hasn't he? This matter, between you and him, I'll pretend it never happened. As for the child, I'll treat them as if they were my own. Of course, you have to agree to one condition."
"What condition?"
Zuo Xintong appeared a bit anxious, completely an instinctive response.
"I can understand and forgive this man, but you two mustn't meet anymore, mustn't be together anymore. Even if you meet, you should act like strangers. This is my bottom line, can you comply?"
Without a second thought, Zuo Xintong said, "Okay, I promise you."
Immediately regretting her words, then heartache followed, sigh...
A silent sigh in her heart, Zuo Xintong felt deeply pained inside.
Just like that, she'll always be a stranger to Liu Zhizhong!
His image floated in her mind, and Zuo Xintong felt as though something had been drained from her, losing vitality.
This is a natural reaction; few women can withstand such a demand, can endure such forceful separation!
But for Liu Zhizhong, she couldn't avoid making such a choice.
Tang Zhi noticed this, smiled slightly, and said, "Xintong, you understand your inner feelings at this moment. But you have already promised, you can't go back on your word, right?"
Zuo Xintong nodded, heart filled with worries, but still raised her head, facing her husband, speaking solemnly.
"The father of the child is Liu Zhizhong..."
Her voice was somewhat small but still clear.
Tang Zhi was momentarily stunned, "Ah? It's him? Oh... haha... alright, alright, I got it..."
In the end, Director Tang forced a bitter smile and shook his head.
To be honest, he was quite internally shaken.
Far away, nearly 4000 kilometers in direct distance, that small county-level city's acting mayor, a young handsome guy, the man flying luxury helicopters, his image left a deep impression on Tang Zhi.
Initially, Tang Zhi quite admired this young man, but now... not quite furious, although a bit resentful inside.
After all, he promised his wife not to pursue the matter with the other party!
Thus, Tang Zhi then said, "Alright, Xintong, this man is worthy of you, and worthy to be the biological father of the child in your belly. The young man is good, originally would have a brighter future politically. At least, I had some arrangements in mind. But now, I cancel these arrangements. His future, let it be determined by his own fate, unrelated to me, unrelated to us!"
