Zhao Yan laughed mockingly as she watched Liu Zhizhong's surprised expression.

"Hah, Liu Zhizhong, you look ridiculous, you know that? Do you think I have all the time in the world to joke about divorce with you? Look at your divorce agreement and stop talking nonsense."

Liu Zhizhong folded the divorce agreement in his hand. "I'll look at it when I get home! But, what's the reason for our divorce?"

"It's in the agreement."

"I want you to say it."

Zhao Yan's expression grew even colder, "Are you being delusional again? We are incompatible, and you cheated. Is that enough?"

"I think our relationship is quite good, and I haven't cheated…"

"Get lost! Just tonight, I almost caught you red-handed in bed. Are you saying you haven't cheated?"

Liu Zhizhong shook his head, a confident smile appearing on his face, "You bring a photo taken by someone who hates your husband or possibly even a doctored photo as evidence, and this person wants to sleep with you under your manipulation. Does this prove I cheated? Isn't this inappropriate?"

"Liu Zhizhong, mind your language!" Zhao Yan's face flashed with a stirring blush as she got annoyed, her voice raised.

Liu Zhizhong remained calm and confident, his voice magnetic, "Director Zhao, I don't want to see the divorce papers, let alone sign them. You want to leave; I don't. You can sue me if you want, and you might not win because you think we're incompatible, but I have always been fully devoted and loving to you."

"But, think it through. Your project should be landing successfully soon, and you'll be promoted to a major official rank shortly, which is definitely happening. I've also been promoted, becoming a Secretary of the City Committee. Do we really want to drag this out in court for everyone to see, possibly affecting our political careers?"

"My wife, graduated at 20, successfully joined politics, always had a smooth path. Growing up in an officialdom family, she outshone her peers in maturity and stability. Why be so foolish in this matter? I'm puzzled and saddened."

"If you really want to divorce at all costs, bringing up emotional matters, I won't object. But you should be prepared for me to suspect that you were either incited or seduced by someone; you cheated. I could even say, regarding our intimate marital life, that even if you played dead on me, I could endure it, because I love you and am filled with love for you."

"Ah!" Zhao Yan couldn't listen anymore, and screamed while covering her ears, "Liu Zhizhong, I never thought you'd be so shameless! Get out! Get out of my car!"

"Alright, wife, I'll listen to you. My feelings for you are full, and I still want to have children with you. I despise this divorce agreement."

With that said, Liu Zhizhong tore up the divorce agreement into pieces right in front of Zhao Yan.

Then, he took the shredded pieces, stepped out of the car, threw them into a trash can, and drove off in his own car.

Zhao Yan, rendered intensely agitated by her husband's defiant attitude, felt deeply disrespected. She could only lower the car window and scream after him, "Liu Zhizhong, you bastard! I will definitely divorce you!!!"

Immediately afterward, she angrily pressed the gas pedal and drove away.

Meanwhile, not too far away, aha!

Luo Yanling, behind a pretty flower bed in the corner of the parking lot, had witnessed everything.

A mischievously seductive smile appeared on her face.

Oh, the Liu couple's situation doesn't look good. He must have torn up the divorce agreement?

You have to admit, Luo Yanling is not just a pretty face without brains; she is a woman with a keen mind.

If it were any other woman, she might have already been preparing to call or message Liu Zhizhong to inquire and offer comfort.

But Luo Yanling did not do so; she's a woman with political strategies.

Ever since Liu Zhizhong left the screening hall, she had been stealthily following him, indeed very calculating…

Liu Zhizhong did not know that Luo Yanling had already set her sights on him. His unique conditions had captivated this lover of the Mayor, causing Luo Yanling to plan for her future.

Because Liu Zhizhong said Secretary Ma is also past his prime, lacking in vitality, and has married a new wife, wishing to break off relations with her.

Of course, in this aspect, Lu Yuqing must confront her husband directly after getting Luo Yanling to willingly leave the City Committee Courtyard. This was something between Liu Zhizhong and Lu Yuqing, unknown to Luo Yanling.

At the time, Liu Zhizhong had already told Lu Yuqing that Secretary Ma was hardly willing to let her leave the City Committee's grip; thus, Liu Zhizhong's role seemed particularly important.

Now, for Liu Zhizhong, feeling an inexplicable sense of victory over his cold wife, he drove直接 directly home to wait.

Tonight, no matter what, he intended to share a bed with his wife, even by force. He couldn't believe she would accuse him of rape, could she?

Zhao Yan hadn't been home for a long time. Coming back from the county to the city, she wouldn't fail to visit her mother, would she? Historically, Zhao Yan and her mother, Lu Yumei, had a good relationship.

Thinking of his wife's lovely face, figure, and delicate, moist skin, Liu Zhizhong really never wanted to divorce. At the same time, he shamelessly aroused...
