Liu Zhizhong released Zhang Yuxing and calmly stood up to start dressing.
Seeing his demeanor, it seemed Zhang Yuxing was not angry anymore and he was relieved too. It really wouldn't be good if they had become estranged over a slap.
Even a cornered rabbit will bite!
A man's face is his dignity!
With Liu Zhizhong's swollen face, if he appeared in front of the City Government, wouldn't people laugh at him? Could he bear that?
While dressing, Liu Zhizhong said, "This slap still highlights your attitude towards me. Anyone can see it clearly. Oh, Mayor Zhang is really formidable! Liu Zhizhong was hit like that and didn't dare to make a peep, what a wimp! This way, no one will suspect our relationship anymore! Tell me, was this slap a good one?"
Zhang Yuxing suddenly saw the light and couldn't help but laugh, "Hey, you really think things through very thoroughly! Are you really not mad?"
"Not mad, why be mad? You play the villain, I play the victim, and we secretly plan on having a child, isn't it exciting?"
Liu Zhizhong said with a laugh, still dressing, and shook something at Zhang Yuxing.
Zhang Yuxing felt shy but amused, "Stop talking about having kids. When you go out later, buy some emergency contraception and bring it to my house tonight. In the future, we still need to be careful, especially you. You have to learn to control yourself. You did well in Hainan, why can't you now? With my status and career, oh, it would really be troublesome if I got pregnant…"
"From what you're saying, you really don't want to have my child."
"No, that's not it. Try to understand my difficulties!" Zhang Yuxing truly cared about him and sounded almost pleading.
But Liu Zhizhong had already buckled his belt and sat down again, holding her slim waist, "Really, don't be afraid of getting pregnant, it won't affect your reputation or your job. Emergency pills aren't good for your health either, I'm just looking out for you. Regarding the child, I have a plan!"
"What plan? What good plan could there be?"
"This time in the Provincial City, after staying so long and connecting with some people, I learned that there's quite a technique to having children. For scenarios like ours, heh, there are clever ways!"
Zhang Yuxing was curious but frowned, "What clever ways?"
"What if, suppose this time you got pregnant. With just some money, we can find a surrogate in the Provincial City. The embryo can be transferred to her and she can carry the pregnancy. The entire process won't take more than ten days to complete. You'd come back to your position as Mayor, and when our child is born, wouldn't it be settled?"
"Ah? There's such a thing now?"
"Indeed, trust in science, right? So, in the future let's not hold back, it's fine. Don't you think it's particularly thrilling when I come inside? Heh heh…"
His devilish grin seemed a bit comical, which made Zhang Yuxing want to laugh, but she felt shy. The indecent talk really left her reminiscing, "You terrible guy, stop talking about this, aren't you embarrassed?"
She was genuinely curious though and nodded, "The way you put it, I'm much more relieved now. Sigh, meeting you must really be fate. It would only be right to have a child or two for you, hehe... Being in office, I'm satisfied up to this point. But in life, having a man and a child would be even better and more fulfilling."
She truly smiled, feeling somewhat hopeful.
Afterwards, the two tidied up and Zhang Yuxing even adjusted Liu Zhizhong's collar, behaving like a doting wife, which sweetened Liu Zhizhong's heart.
Looking at her, so youthful in appearance, such moist skin, fair and flushed cheeks, full of vitality, what a striking figure, delightful, haha...
When they came out to the office area, things became much more formal.
Zhang Yuxing started talking about work, "When you return this time, Xue Yao should go back to the district office…"
Liu Zhizhong immediately interrupted her, "I disagree!"
"Director Zhang is capable in her duties and can further develop her skills here! The Zhang Family, can't just rely on your older generation, we need to consider the next generation also. Therefore, I suggest keeping Director Zhang in the City Government."
"You…" Zhang Yuxing was touched by his remarks, "That's indeed for the good of the Zhang Family, very broad-minded. However, if she stays, you'd have to leave, and right now there are no vacancies. Plus, you've just been assigned here and suddenly moving away doesn't seem right..."
"Who said I'm leaving? Director Zhang can handle most of my tasks, and I still have to be involved in some important ones. After all, serving my woman is a big deal, and I'm familiar with this work. It's like being behind the scenes, just maintaining a nominal position. After all, you know that I've signed with Xinghai Company in the Provincial City, I have tasks to do, money to make, to support your career!"
Zhang Yuxing was very pleased, feeling somewhat pampered, and smiled, "Alright, your suggestion isn't bad! Work is flexible for you, focusing on making money. But important sessions like the district and city committee meetings, you need to show up, understand?"
"I know, the couple must appear together for such events."
"Go on, stop your sweet talk and get out, go home and rest well. See you at work tomorrow!"
"Hehe…" ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵
After a mischievous chuckle, Liu Zhizhong left with his swollen, mournful face, appearing in front of Xue Yao and the other leaders outside...
