"What do you want to ask?" Zhou Qian asked.

"Why did Zhang Yingying call me?" Qin Feng pointed to the phone.

"This is your own private matter. I have no right and do not want to ask or interfere." Zhou Qian said with a smile.

"Zhou Qian, I..." Qin Feng felt a little guilty and wanted to confess to Zhou Qian, but he was stopped by Zhou Qian as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Qin Feng, don't explain anything to me. You don't need to explain to me. You and I are not husband and wife. You have no obligation to do so, and I don't have the authority to do so either."

"Besides, even if you and I get married, I won't interfere with your personal life." Zhou Qian said lightly.

Qin Feng looked at Zhou Qian in some surprise. He didn't understand what Zhou Qian meant.

"Do you remember why our first marriage ended?" Zhou Qian asked.

Qin Feng thought about it and realized that the reason why he and Zhou Qian divorced was because of the maliciously edited photos between him and Li Li that caused Zhou Qian to misunderstand and ultimately made Zhou Qian insist on divorcing him.

"I won't make the same mistake again." Zhou Qian said with a smile.

"If I don't trust you, I will tell you clearly, and then keep my distance from you and won't be with you."

"If I'm with you, it means I absolutely trust you. I choose to believe you. Let alone a phone call like this, even if I see you and her standing in front of me with my own eyes, I firmly believe that there is nothing going on between the two of you."

"Qin Feng, we are not husband and wife now, and I have no right to interfere in your private life. At the same time, I also believe that there is no unclear relationship between you and Zhang Yingying, so you don't have to explain anything to me, not now and not in the future. Just do what needs to be done, and don't worry about me." Zhou Qian finally said to Qin Feng with a smile.

After hearing Zhou Qian's words, Qin Feng was petrified. He wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Zhou Qian trusted him so much, but he deceived Zhou Qian again and again, and so many things happened between him and Zhang Yingying that made Zhou Qian feel sorry for him.

Qin Feng was in deep self-blame and guilt, unable to extricate himself.

"New Year's Eve is coming soon. Didn't you prepare two buckets of fireworks for the New Year's Eve? Move them out quickly, otherwise you will be late." Zhou Qian suddenly urged the dazed Qin Feng.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Qian's motorcade arrived at the door early in the morning. Qin Feng and his "family of four" got in the car and headed straight for Dongyang.

Every place has its own customs. For example, in Zhongjiang, it is stipulated that people must pay New Year's greetings to their parents on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Even if their parents have passed away, they must go to their graves to pay homage.

Zhou Qiming was buried in Dongyang, so Zhou Qian and her family set out to Dongyang early in the morning on the first day of the New Year to pay tribute to Zhou Qiming.

Qin Feng had gone to pay tribute to Zhou Qiming two days earlier, but the two had different meanings.

We drove to Dongyang and paid tribute to Zhou Qiming at the cemetery.

Because she was afraid that Xie Fengmin would be too reminded of her father by the sight of the objects, Zhou Qian took Xie Fengmin and her daughter back to Zhongjiang after the memorial service.

Qin Feng did not go back to Zhongjiang with Zhou Qian. He was going to Xie Zhiguo's home to pay New Year's greetings and had already made an appointment with Xie Zhiguo in advance.

According to the order of duty of the Standing Committee team, Xie Zhiguo was scheduled to work on the seventh day of the first lunar month. This could be considered a benefit that Tang Yun specially planned for Xie Zhiguo. After all, this way Xie Zhiguo could also have a good Spring Festival holiday.

Of course, Qin Feng was arranged on the fifth day of the New Year, which was also specially arranged by Tang Yun for Qin Feng.

Qin Feng did not let Zhou Qian leave the car and the driver, nor did he call Wang Jun. Today was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and Qin Feng did not want to disturb the atmosphere of other people's family reunions, so he stood on the road to hail a taxi. However, it was indeed a bit difficult to get a taxi on the first day of the Lunar New Year. He was blown by the cold wind for a long time before he finally got a taxi.

Qin Feng went up to Xie Zhiguo's house alone, empty-handed.

Giving cigarettes and alcohol as gifts is too common. Xie Zhiguo naturally has no shortage of them. He has always given Tian Huifen organic agricultural products, but this time he did not prepare anything in advance.

Given the relationship between Qin Feng and Xie Zhiguo, it doesn’t really matter whether or not to send gifts.

Qin Feng knocked on the door, and to his surprise, it was Lu Zian who opened the door.

"Mayor Qin, Happy New Year." Lu Zian opened the door for Qin Feng, and then respectfully placed a pair of slippers in front of Qin Feng.

Qin Feng looked at Lu Zian in surprise, and after a few seconds he smiled and said, "Sure, you're making fast progress!"

Lu Zian is here at this time, either he is celebrating the New Year here, or he arrived early this morning. No matter which case, it means that Xie Zhiguo and his wife have accepted Lu Zian as their son-in-law, and it also means that Xie Simin has officially acknowledged and confessed Lu Zian's identity to Xie Zhiguo and his wife.

Lu Zian smiled foolishly and handed Qin Feng a cigarette.

"Did you come before the New Year or today?" Qin Feng asked.

"I came back from Xiquan with Xiaomin and my uncle the day before yesterday and celebrated the New Year here." Lu Zian replied.

"Not bad." Qin Feng patted Lu Zian on the shoulder.

Qin Feng then walked into the living room and saw Xie Zhiguo and Xiao Hanwen sitting on the sofa drinking tea and chatting.

"Oh, our old leader is here too. Happy New Year." Qin Feng smiled and hurried over to shake hands with Xiao Hanwen.

Xiao Hanwen is only a county party secretary, and Qin Feng is already a member of the municipal party committee standing committee, but Qin Feng is still respectful to Xiao Hanwen. This is Qin Feng's principle in life.

"Didn't you tell me yesterday that you would come over today? And Hanwen called me today to wish me a happy new year, and said he would come over tomorrow. I thought since you would come over today, I decided to ask him to come over as well. With more people, we can have a drink and have some fun together." Xie Zhiguo explained.

Qin Feng had just sat down when Xie Simin, who was helping Tian Huifen in the kitchen, came over with a cup of tea and placed it in front of Qin Feng. Seeing Qin Feng looking at her with a half-smile, her face suddenly turned red and she rolled her eyes at Qin Feng: "What are you looking at? Don't you recognize me?"

"I do know you, but I just felt that you were particularly obedient today, and you felt a bit like a married woman." Qin Feng teased Xie Simin.

"Get out!" Xie Simin gritted her teeth and uttered one word to Qin Feng, then walked back into the kitchen.

Xie Zhiguo, Xiao Hanwen, and Qin Feng were sitting on the sofa chatting. Lu Zian, as a junior, was sitting there to keep them company and doing some service work, such as making tea and passing cigarettes.

At noon that day, Qin Feng drank a lot of wine, and Xie Zhiguo also made an exception and drank a lot of wine.

After dinner, Xiao Hanwen left first, and then Qin Feng also said goodbye and left. Lu Zian sent Qin Feng downstairs and waited until Qin Feng took a taxi before going upstairs back to the house.

Qin Feng took a taxi directly to Hong Yue's house, then took the elevator upstairs and knocked on the door.

The one who opened the door was naturally Li Jing who was pregnant, while Hong Yue was doing exercises in the living room. Both of them were very surprised to see Qin Feng at the door, because Qin Feng did not tell them that he was coming.
