"Damn it, Zhao Yan, what nonsense are you spouting? My relationship with Secretary Zhang is innocent, it's not what you think..."

Liu Zhizhong's face suddenly changed as he saw Zhang Yue Xing's expression and felt depressed.

Zhang Yue Xing's face was incredibly cold and somewhat unpleasant to look at.

Of course, there was also a trace of angry blush, which was quite amusing.

Zhao Yan chuckled coldly twice, interrupting Liu Zhizhong, "Stop pretending, I'm a woman, don't I see it clearly? I originally wanted to have a good talk with you tonight, but then you two sped off on the freeway, so let it be. I'm really wronged here, just in office for a few days, and I walk right into this mess of a traffic accident. Annoying!"

"Annoying is right. Who isn't annoyed? To be an official is to handle affairs..."

"Don't instruct me anymore, I don't need your guidance. The most annoying thing is you hovering around Secretary Zhang, like a fawning dog, flitting in and out of my sight... I'm done talking, annoying!"

Zhao Yan was ready to hang up the phone after saying this, then added, "I advise you to know your place, Secretary Zhang is not the kind of woman a small fry like you can attain!"

Then, she really hung up.

Liu Zhizhong looked miserable, spread his hands, glanced at Zhang Yue Xing across from him, and forced a smile, "Um... Secretary Zhang, my wife, she doesn't know how to speak, please..."

Zhang Yue Xing coldly interrupted, "Enough, shut up. You want to defend her, right? A woman who won't let you sleep, why defend her? Today, Zhao Yan really crossed the line by mouthing off at me—it's the kind that can never be made right! Humph!"

After saying that, she wiped her mouth with a tissue, stood up haughtily, and left the table, "I'm full, going to the restroom."

Then she left, her lonely demeanor casting a shadow that made Liu Zhizhong's heart sink.

Liu Zhizhong didn't dare delay, quickly picking up his phone to text Zhao Yan.

"Honey, what's going on? I was just driving for Secretary Zhang, she had some private business, but it's unrelated to her or me! Your call earlier, she forced me to put it on speaker, and she heard everything. You've offended her, and it's the kind that can never be made right. Sigh..."

Zhao Yan burst upon reading this, replying immediately, "This domineering old woman? So what if I offended her? Don't scare me with her, okay? Can she kill me, can she eat me? Let her come! You're just a cowardly fawner, I really look down on you! If you dare, take this text I'm sending now and show her, why don't you?"

"I am not a fawner! Nor am I her fawner! I've only ever fawned over you, and back then you were still a virgin!"

"Get lost! Disgusting! Gross!"

Zhao Yan just cursed, then stopped messaging, her face flushed with anger. Of course, remembering how Liu Zhizhong treated her when they were newly married made her blush, but now she also felt quite nauseous thinking about it, men are really disgusting!

But she didn't care either, betting Liu Zhizhong wouldn't dare stir up trouble in front of Zhang Yue Xing!

Anyway, Zhao Yan was really fuming today, with her career not going smoothly. Seeing Zhang Yue Xing commanding on site only made her more irritated. Zhang Yue Xing also pointedly warned her, as if criticizing, telling her as the new district traffic chief, she must seriously reflect and summarize.

In a nutshell, Zhao Yan felt extremely uncomfortable. Women often harbor grudges, whereas big-picture thinking is rare.

Liu Zhizhong, of course, wouldn't report to Zhang Yue Xing, only feeling that his wife Zhao Yan still needed to elevate her awareness.

He simply messaged again: You are my wife, my legal spouse, and I will only protect you in front of Secretary Zhang and won't harm you. But, what did you want to talk about, honey?

"Without the Zhang family, she dreams of being a secretary! Forget it, go talk your head off, get lost!"

Liu Zhizhong raised an eyebrow—how could she be so confused now? She really needed some discipline!

Alright, when I become your boss as the Executive Deputy District Leader, I'll properly teach you a lesson!

Of course, cooling down, Liu Zhizhong could understand his wife's current state of mind. Taking office amidst major issues was unfortunate, and getting lectured by Zhang Yue Xing certainly didn't feel good.

Women, sigh...

When Zhang Yue Xing returned from the restroom, she said nothing.

Anyway, that ever-so-cold demeanor had long been the norm for Liu Zhizhong.

Liu Zhizhong even called "Secretary Zhang," but as soon as he mentioned "my wife," Zhang Yue Xing coldly said, "Enough, can't even stop talking while eating? You mean to ask for your wife's favor at my expense, no way. Next time, watch how I deal with her. Heh..."

She chuckled coldly, her voice exuding a chilling ruthlessness.

This quite depressed Liu Zhizhong, this woman really can't stand having sand in her eyes! Zhao Yan, can't you learn to control yourself? What should I do to save you, my wife?

After dinner, Liu Zhizhong hurriedly started the car.

Zhang Yue Xing adjusted her seat in the back, reclined, and soon fell into a beautifully seductive slumber.

Liu Zhizhong looked at her in the rearview mirror, sighing, why does his heart feel so itchy?

Indeed, if he could win her over, wouldn't that secure his marriage?
