This aura, as a mother herself and someone who had long been deprived of a sexual life, Lu Yumei was all too familiar with it.
Blushing suddenly, she thought of something and, without any doubt, she quietly slipped out of Zhao Han's room, even gently closing the door behind her.
Lu Yumei shook her head outside the door, sighing softly to herself.
"Oh, my poor eldest daughter, you truly are pitiful!"
"You are a normal woman in the prime of your youth, only to meet that shameless husband Zhang Hongyang. What a waste, and what torture for you."
She knew Zhao Han had physical needs, but she mistakenly thought her daughter had comforted herself last night. The evidence was clear—what else could explain being undressed completely?
It looked like she had expended a lot of energy; she was still asleep at this hour!
Lu Yumei couldn't have imagined that last night, it was the second son-in-law, Liu Zhizhong, who had worked hard to give Zhao Han the greatest satisfaction a woman could have, providing her a soul-deep pleasure!
Had she known, what would she have thought?
Meanwhile, downstairs, after Lu Yumei went up, Liu Zhizhong and Zhao Yan didn't start eating right away, waiting for her and Zhao Han to come downstairs. This was the Zhao family's dining rule, which everyone still followed.
However, Liu Zhizhong was secretly reveling in happiness. Last night had been like a fairy tale. Zhao Han hadn't gotten up yet from the exhaustion; she had over-indulged, heh… Chapters fırst released on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖•𝗇𝗲𝘁
Liu Zhizhong was fantasizing about their future blissful life, which had just begun! He was much better than that bastard Zhang Hongyang! That son of a bitch had it coming!
But then Zhao Yan suddenly spoke in a low voice, "You can take off work for the next few days, waiting for the personnel transfer, right?"
Liu Zhizhong suddenly came out of his reverie and nodded with a smile, "Yes, that's right. It's Friday today, and then the weekend. I can rest for a few more days. Maybe we could go to Taohua Island this weekend…"
"At three o'clock this afternoon, I'll wait for you at the Civil Affairs Bureau," Zhao Yan interrupted him, her voice icy cold.
Liu Zhizhong looked at his wife in surprise, then forced a smile, "My wife, is it… is it so urgent?"
Zhao Yan's face was frosty as she nodded, "After all, you've signed the divorce agreement half a year ago. If we don't finalize it at the Civil Affairs Bureau, it's unnecessary, right?"
"What else is there to say? I'm doing this for your good, to fulfill your relationship with Zhang Qixiang! The Zhang family dominates in Yangzhou. Marrying into the Zhang family would benefit your career. Not to mention your friction with Zhang Hongyang, being his brother-in-law could settle unnecessary troubles, right? Now, the new head of the City Organization Department, Zhang Tianbao, also surnamed Zhang, I heard he's close with the Zhang family too. Think about it for yourself?"
Zhao Yan didn't give Liu Zhizhong any chance to argue, spilling it all out in one breath.
Liu Zhizhong had heard from the official announcement that Zhang Tianbao, the influential figure, had come to Yangzhou as the head of the Organization Department!
But with Luo Shuxiu's card in hand, Liu Zhizhong wasn't worried, and his impression of Zhang Tianbao was rather good.
Liu Zhizhong shook his head, saying, "Wife, while that's true, divorcing at this time really isn't suitable."
"How is it not suitable? We have no marital affection, and we never did. Being with you is awkward and torturous for me. Isn't that a reason enough for a divorce? Do you really want to confine us in an unhappy marriage for a lifetime? You're not young anymore; you should think about having your own lineage. Wouldn't you be criticized for not having descendants?"
"Then people could criticize you for being infertile, or say I'm impotent, right?"
"You…" Zhao Yan's face flushed slightly, then turned cold again, "Let's not talk about that. It's settled then?"
"No! My promotion is upcoming, and divorcing before a promotion is a big taboo in officialdom!" Liu Zhizhong was very adamant.
"By your logic, divorcing after the promotion isn't a taboo?"
"Yes, of course. Divorcing around the time of a promotion is a big taboo; people will say I am heartless and kicked my wife away after advancing. If we don't divorce, isn't that resolving the issue?"
"You wish! This marriage is over!"
