"Ah, Lu Yui's wrist is so tender and boneless, smooth as silk, yet it seems like it could burst with strength at any mont."
"This beautiful young widow really loves sports. She's well-trained, and what a great physique!"
Zhizhong felt a stir in his heart, but he seriously said, "Mrs. Lu, my goodness, don't get so worked up! This guy is just in a bad mood, throwing a temper tantrum. Let's not stoop to his level. Eating and drinking well is our the for lunch today. If he won't leave, can't our Director Zhao take the initiative and apply to the court for divorce? Right? Hehe..."
And well, you should hear the Zhao family's decider now—his words really carry weight nowadays and even managed to calm Lu Yui down.
Zhao Han also chid in, "Exactly, Zhizhong is right. If he won't leave, can't I ask the court to rule forcibly?"
Only then did Lu Yui nod her head and snorted coldly twice, "This bastard, today's lunch is on him, hmph!"
Just then, she realized Zhizhong's big hand was holding her wrist. She suddenly blushed and looked up, scolding fiercely, "Won't you let go, you beast, it hurts!"
"Oh, hehe…"
Zhizhong apologized profusely, quickly letting go of her hand, and said with a smile, "I was just acting out of urgency, not wanting you to get upset and spoil everyone's mood today! My fault, my fault, should I punish myself with a drink?"
After saying this, Zhizhong downed the glass of white liquor in one gulp—how straightforward! People in Yangzhou really like their straightforwardness and generosity in drinking culture.
"Old lady? Am I that old?" Lu Yui petulantly rubbed her wrist.
"Uh... hehe, how about 'young mother' then?"
This comnt made both Lu Yuqing and Zhao Han burst into laughter.
Lu Yui nearly laughed too but glared at Zhizhong and scolded, "You slicker, really smooth! Alright, let's eat. We can't let Zhang Hongyang spoil our mood!"
The al was halfway finished, and all four of them were slightly tipsy.
Yuqing received a call from the City Committee, saying there was a eting at two-thirty, so he couldn't drink anymore.
Zhao Han wasn't bothered since there wasn't much going on at the Cultural and Tourism Bureau. She didn't need to be there in the afternoon.
In fact, ever since Zhao Han saw Zhizhong return, her heart fluttered.
It felt like they had been apart for a long, long ti—seeing him made her yearn for him, longing for his skills!
A wise saying goes, a woman is only demure because she hasn't t a man wild enough to tempt her!
So, while drinking and eating, she was also pondering how to ask out Zhizhong!
Lu Yui and Yuqing really had no idea how deeply involved those two were.
However, when Zhizhong wanted to drink more, Zhao Han stopped him, "Hey, drink less. I just rembered sothing, I need your help!"
Zhizhong laughed, "What is it? Does drinking affect it?"
Zhao Han seriously said, "Our Cultural and Tourism Bureau needs to make a promotional video about our city's tourism, and a crew from the provincial TV station is coming. They need a script, and the office has been struggling with one for half a month, unsatisfied. You, Zhizhong, are now well known as the City Governnt Chief Secretary, famous for your writing. Could you co to my office this afternoon to see if you can revise or rewrite it? Could you take on this task?"
Before Zhizhong could respond, Lu Yui said, "This is Zhizhong's forte; I'll answer for him. Sure, definitely! Zhizhong, it's ti to prove yourself; don't let down!"
Zhizhong thought for a mont, "Well, Mrs. Lu, if I finish this afternoon, do I get a reward?"
"Asked to write, and still you bargain? Think just because you're the City Governnt Chief Secretary, I can't handle you? Aren't I still your mother-in-law?"
Lu Yui was quite abrupt about it, as they'd had a bit too much to drink. Normally, she did enjoy bossing Zhizhong around!
Yuqing laughed lightly, "Alright, big sister, stop intimidating him like a mother-in-law. Look how scared you've made Zhizhong. We trust him; he'll handle it!"
Zhizhong quickly said, "Thank you, Auntie! Well then, Zhao Han, let's stop drinking here. After lunch, I'll co to your departnt and review the docunt."
Zhao Han was thrilled but maintained a serious face, "Okay! Then I toast to you in advance, thanks!"
"Uh... didn't we say we'd stop drinking?"
"You can stop, but I can, right? Anyway, I'm not the one working on the docunt this afternoon!"
"Uh…"
