Liu Zhizhong saw Zhao Yan's call and immediately understood everything.

His mind was exceptionally imaginative; how could he not understand what was happening?

Zhang Hongyang, that bastard, not only sent the video to Lu Yumei but, of course, could send it to Zhao Yan as well. That thing was just like a spiteful little woman playing mind games, wanting nothing more than to see him suffer, make him squirm, and cause him trouble.

And now, here came Zhao Yan, calling to interrogate him, right?

As for Zhao Yan, originally she didn't intend to bother with Liu Zhizhong. She just disgusted Zhang Hongyang for a while and then went off to handle work. Becoming a deputy district head really did involve a lot of tasks.

But after finishing her work, she felt a bit uncomfortable and decided to call Liu Zhizhong.

As soon as the call connected, Liu Zhizhong said warmly, "Honey, good afternoon, what's up?"

His voice was genuinely magnetic, super tender, but it made Zhao Yan feel nauseated.

Men, especially those in officialdom, sure knew how to put on an act!

Zhao Yan replied icily, "Where are you? In Yangzhou or the Provincial City?"

"I'm in Yangzhou. I'm about to head home to pack, then off to the Provincial City. The enrollment deadline for the Provincial Party School is tomorrow afternoon at six, so I have to leave today."

In fact, while talking to his wife, what Liu Zhizhong was actually thinking was that he had to get with Luo Yanling tonight, have the ceremonial pleasure, and then he could head to the Provincial City. He could go register at the Party School tomorrow morning.

Zhao Yan merely hummed in acknowledgment and said, "In that case, there's no need to rush. Let's have dinner together around seven tonight, just the two of us; I've made a reservation and will send you the details privately."

"Uh..." Liu Zhizhong hesitated, why interrupt the good thing he had planned with Luo Yanling?

"Uh what? Is there something inconvenient for you?"

"Oh, no... Honey, you can just tell me over the phone if there's anything. Do we really need to meet for dinner? If your mother hears about it, she might think we've reconciled, which would upset her."

Zhao Yan almost laughed at this response but coldly said, "Enough with the chatter. Can't a couple have dinner out without worrying about other people's feelings?"

"No, it's not that, honey, I..."

"That's enough. Say what you need to say in person, it's not convenient over the phone. That's that, I'll send you the address later."

Then, Zhao Yan hung up.

Liu Zhizhong was really frustrated. Was this some forceful dinner invitation? What kind of wife does that?

He clearly wanted to invite Luo Yanling for dinner tonight, and maybe have some fun at her place afterward.

Now, what was he supposed to do with his wife making plans like this?

Of course, Zhao Yan had never actually gone out to dine alone with Liu Zhizhong before. If she was inviting him, Liu Zhizhong really couldn't refuse.

So, Liu Zhizhong gave up on the idea of meeting Luo Yanling and prepared to obediently accept his wife's invitation.

He was also a bit puzzled; had Zhang Hongyang not sent the video to Zhao Yan? Or had he, and she just didn't care?

Liu Zhizhong returned home, where Lu Yumei was obviously drunk and sleeping soundly and deeply.

He boldly went into Lu Yuqing's bedroom, and oh, that feeling of bliss soon arrived.

Lu Yuqing had a bit of a complaint, mentioning that he had been involved with Zhang Qixiang, but she was also excited, accusing him of trying to get back at Zhang Hong. He had taken his revenge all the way to his sister.

Of course, she understood 'Big Baby Liu'; after all, the more people there were to tackle him, the happier she was.

After an hour of pleasure, they took a quick shower and freshened up. Liu Zhizhong went back to his room to take a half-hour nap and then got up to pack his things.

By 6:30 pm, he was driving with his luggage toward the restaurant Zhao Yan had chosen. After dinner, he'd head to the Provincial City, no problem...
