official career

After Xie Fengmin finished speaking, she stood up and prepared to leave without looking at Qin Feng.

"Mom, I'll take you there." Qin Feng followed Xie Fengmin and prepared to take her downstairs.

"No need. It's not easy to come here. Just spend more time with your daughter." Xie Fengmin said coldly, then walked out of the ward.

"Mom, are you going back alone?" Qin Feng turned to ask Zhou Qian.

"The driver is downstairs." Zhou Qian said.

Qin Feng was relieved.

"Dad...Dad..."

Qin Feng turned to look at his daughter and saw that her hair had been shaved off and she was receiving an IV with a needle inserted. Qin Feng felt so distressed.

Carefully, she leaned over and kissed her daughter on the face, then held her hand and asked, "Does it hurt?"

"It hurts..." Niu Niu said, and tears started to flow.

Seeing this, Qin Feng almost burst into tears.

"Niuniu, be good. Niuniu, be brave, right? Hang in there, it will be fine in two days." Qin Feng held his daughter's hand tightly and comforted her.

"It hurts... Daddy... Tell me a story..."

Qin Feng didn't understand what his daughter meant at first, and turned to look at Zhou Qian.

"She asked you to tell her a story. Here is the storybook." Zhou Qian picked up the storybook beside the bed.

"Okay, Dad will tell you a story." Qin Feng also sat on the bed, lying on the hospital bed with his daughter, flipping through the storybook and telling his daughter a story vividly.

Zhou Qian sat on the sofa at the head of the bed, looking at the father and daughter quietly.

After the drip, Niu Niu slowly fell asleep while listening to a story. It was already past twelve o'clock.

Zhou Qian came over and quietly covered her daughter with a quilt. The two walked out of the ward, closed the door, and came to the corridor.

"Why are you here?" Zhou Qian asked.

"I'm her father." Qin Feng was very dissatisfied with Zhou Qian's question.

"Does Hong Yue know?"

"Yes, she persuaded me to come."

Zhou Qian fell silent when she heard this.

"How are you two doing?"

"Good, and bad." Qin Feng silently lit a cigarette and leaned against the wall.

"what happened?"

"Hong Yue talked to me a few days ago and wanted a divorce."

"divorce?"

"Yes, she asked for a divorce, but I didn't agree."

"Why divorce?"

"Because she thinks she can't give me a normal married life, and staying with her will only torture me for the rest of my life."

Zhou Qian understands what a normal married life means.

"I'm sorry, this is something I didn't think of at the beginning. I'm sorry for making things difficult for you." Zhou Qian felt very guilty. After all, it was she who forced Qin Feng to marry Zhou Qian.

"This has nothing to do with you, and I am a human being, not a beast. I don't have to do those things in bed to survive." Qin Feng shook his head.

"But Hong Yue said something very right." Qin Feng continued.

"What?"

"She said that she and I were more like family than husband and wife."

"Do you think so too?"

"Yes, I didn't feel that way before, or I never thought about this problem. But after Hong Yue brought it up, I felt it myself. Maybe it's true. Now Hong Yue and I feel more like family members." Qin Feng said with a sigh.

Zhou Qian sat on the chair. She could understand the relationship between Qin Feng and Hong Yue. If there was no intimate contact and sex between a couple, the only thing left would be family affection.

Qin Feng and Zhou Qian stayed in the ward with their daughter that night.

Because it is an intensive care unit, a large suite with a room specifically for caregivers.

That night, Zhou Qian slept in the inner room while Qin Feng stayed with his daughter.

Qin Feng stayed in Zhongjiang for three days. It happened to be the weekend, and he didn't have any particularly important work on hand, so he stayed with Niu Niu until her condition got better before leaving Zhongjiang.

During the past few days in Zhongjiang, Qin Feng has never left the hospital or the ward. He has always been with his daughter and, naturally, he has been inseparable from Zhou Qian.

Although he and Zhou Qian were together day and night, a tacit understanding was formed between them. They did not say overly intimate words, nor did they have overly intimate contact.

This feeling was too cruel for both Qin Feng and Zhou Qian, but they both understood that it was impossible for them to go back to the past.

After Qin Feng stayed in Zhongjiang for three days, Wang Jun drove over to pick him up, and then the two of them drove back to Yian in a hurry.

The next morning after Qin Feng returned to Yian, he drove to Xiquan City with Zhou Liang, and then went to the Xiquan Municipal People's Congress to attend the Xiquan Municipal People's Congress Standing Committee meeting.

One of the items on the agenda of today's Standing Committee of the National People's Congress is to elect a new deputy mayor of the municipal government.

Qin Feng attended the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress that day.

When the election came, Qin Feng's name appeared on the list of candidates, and the result was no surprise: Qin Feng was elected unanimously.

After completing the election process, Qin Feng walked to the podium under the guidance of the staff, holding the red text of the Constitution, and solemnly swore an oath to the Constitution facing the national emblem.

"I solemnly swear: As the deputy mayor of Xiquan Municipal People's Government, I will be loyal to the country, the people, the Constitution and the law..."
