Lu Yuqing and Zhao Han listened and couldn't help but find it amusing, almost wanting to laugh.
In Lu Yuqing's heart, didn't it feel a bit awkward for her eldest sister to say such things?
Zhao Han felt the same way; why did her mother's words sound a bit off?
Liu Zhizhong chuckled secretly to himself, finding Lu Yumei's words to have quite a comical edge, haha…
But no matter what, if Zhang Hongyang actually lost his ability to reproduce, then Liu Zhizhong would have to step up. He actively volunteered, which could also be regarded as taking on responsibility.
In Liu Zhizhong's eyes, as long as the Zhang Family Members cared about face, Zhang Hongyang certainly cared as well, so this issue wasn't really an issue at all!
After lunch, of course, Liu Zhizhong would wash up and take a good nap; there was no need to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau now, since Lu Yumei had Zhao Yan well under control.
Lu Yuqing and Lu Yumei, however, took Zhao Han out to go shopping and watch a movie. They weren't worried about anything; the Zhao family's hopes were now pinned on Liu Zhizhong.
Anyway, Lu Yuqing appreciated Liu Zhizhong, thinking him to be more steady and reliable, much better than Zhang Hongyang.
Zhao Han didn't need to say anything; she belonged to Liu Zhizhong, thoroughly won over by him. Everything would follow Liu Zhizhong's lead.
Liu Zhizhong slept until he woke up naturally and got up to tidy himself, preparing to start cooking dinner. He should take care of the family now, as he was the Family Head, after all. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝗇𝗲𝘵
By mid-afternoon, Liu Zhizhong was in the kitchen taking inventory of the ingredients, considering what else he needed to buy, when Zhao Yan came home.
Looking at his wife's cold-faced expression, Liu Zhizhong still smiled and said, "Eh? Wife, you're back? But, mom said that for now we two..."
Zhao Yan coldly interrupted him, "Don't say anything. Mom called me, and I know everything very clearly. The current situation is that the Zhao family has offended the Zhang family, perhaps not lightly. Now, Zhao Family's matters with the Zhang family rely on you to stand in and take charge. You're the head of the household now; we're not going to divorce for the time being. This home, I'm not going to stay either, so I don't have to see you everyday and get annoyed, right?"
"I've come back to pack up some things and move out to avoid irritation."
Zhao Yan didn't wait for a response from Liu Zhizhong and started walking upstairs.
Liu Zhizhong called out from behind her, "Hey, wife, where are you moving to? Let me help you pack, and I'll drive you."
"No need; I can manage on my own."
Zhao Yan just coldly refused Liu Zhizhong.
Liu Zhizhong felt secretly frustrated, looking up at the stairs at his wife's sexy and tall Shadow - so graceful, leaving behind a trail of light fragrance.
He really felt a bit upset, "Wife, you've been living at home for over half a year now, suddenly moving out - don't you think that's too cold towards the family?"
Zhao Yan paused on the stairs, didn't respond to him, and continued upwards.
Liu Zhizhong immediately said, "What bothers you about me, Liu Zhi, so much that you insist on divorcing? In terms of appearance and temperament, am I inferior to anyone? When it comes to talent in life, where am I lacking? About my future in officialdom, do you really think I'm on the decline? You've always been in my heart, but you don't have me in yours, right? Not even a little bit?"
"That's right, not at all, not even a little."
Zhao Yan stopped at the turn of the stairs, looking down with a cold face as she replied, "You might as well give up; I'm not going to spend a lifetime with you. When we divorce later, you can marry Zhang Qixiang; wouldn't that be better? Your proactive offer to solve the Zhao family's crisis, isn't your biggest leverage your affair with Zhang Qixiang? I've been sparing you the details, so you'd better treasure what's left!"
"Fine then, you're so polite and dignified, I'm even more reluctant to let you go. Your coldness towards me only makes me think you've got someone else."
"That's right, I've got someone else, what about it? You've got someone, can't I have someone too?"
Zhao Yan said with a flat face, infinitely cold, speaking without any hesitation.
Liu Zhi felt a jolt in his heart, slightly uncomfortable, which perhaps was a common male reaction?
Still, he managed a bitter smile and said, "Oh, so it's like that! Then, who's the person you're seeing outside, a man or a woman?"
