Chapter 2002: Failure at Xiquan

After dinner, Hu Jiayun insisted on taking Qin Zhouqi to buy clothes. When they went to the mall, she not only bought several sets of clothes for Qin Zhouqi, but also bought a lot of toys. She also held Qin Zhouqi in her arms from beginning to end and never put him down.

Zhou Qian is a very smart woman with very high emotional intelligence. After coming out of the mall, Zhou Qian said goodbye to Hu Jiayun on the grounds that her daughter had to sleep, and asked Qin Feng to stay and accompany Hu Jiayun for a while.

Zhou Qian knew that Qin Feng and Hu Jiayun must have something else to talk about.

"Zhou Qian is the smartest woman I have ever met, and she is more mature and wiser than before." Hu Jiayun sighed as she watched Zhou Qian drive away alone.

Qin Feng nodded. He agreed with this point deeply. Zhou Qian now was almost a completely different person from before.

"Come sit on the chair in front!" Hu Jiayun pointed to the bench in the square in front.

"Do you live in Zhou Qian's house?" Hu Jiayun asked.

"Yes, that's right." Qin Feng did not hide anything from Hu Jiayun, although the fact that he lived in Zhou Qian's house was not a glorious thing.

"You and Zhou Qian are still close, does Hong Yue know about this?" Hu Jiayun asked.

Qin Feng was silent. He didn't know whether Hong Yueqing knew about it or not, nor did he know whether Hong Yue cared about it or not.

"She should know." Qin Feng lit another cigarette awkwardly.

"You should know in your heart that what you are doing is wrong and dangerous."

Qin Feng was silent. He didn't know how to explain all this to Hu Jiayun, but he was also very clear whether what he was doing was right or not.

"I know it's not right to do this, but..." Qin Feng didn't know how to express the next words.

"But you can't control yourself, because the person you love in your heart is Zhou Qian. You can't let Zhou Qian go, and plus you have the relationship with Niu Niu, so you find a way for yourself to maintain a close relationship with Zhou Qian." Hu Jiayun hit the nail on the head.

Hu Jiayun's words were sharp enough, but Qin Feng didn't feel unhappy at all. He nodded obediently like a child who had done something wrong: "Yes!"

"You must be living a miserable life?" Hu Jiayun asked again.

"A little bit." Hu Jiayun could always see through Qin Feng's heart at a glance.

"So what is the current situation between you and Hong Yue?" Hu Jiayun asked again.

"I don't know what the situation is like. It's like friendship but not friendship." Qin Feng smiled bitterly.

"Like friends but not friends? Not husband and wife?" Hu Jiayun asked curiously.

Qin Feng just smiled. He didn't know how to describe the strange feeling between him and Hong Yue.

"Hong Yue has been asking for a divorce from me for more than half a year, and now she is determined to get a divorce..." Qin Feng told Hu Jiayun in detail about everything that happened between him and Hong Yue while smoking.

Hu Jiayun has always known that there are problems between Qin Feng and Hong Yue. Qin Feng has talked about it with Hu Jiayun before, but he didn't go into detail. So Hu Jiayun only knew that there were problems between Qin Feng and Hong Yue, but she didn't expect the problem to be so serious, or it can be said that the two have never been a real couple from the beginning to the end, either physically or psychologically.

"So what are your plans now?" Hu Jiayun asked Qin Feng.

Qin Feng shook his head and smoked heavily: "I don't know what to do, sister, what do you think I should do?"

"You are the only one who can decide this issue. No one else can make the choice for you."

"But I only have two things to tell you. The purpose of marriage is to make two people happy, not to make them miserable. If the result of maintaining a marriage is to make two people miserable, then this marriage has no meaning at all."

"Secondly, if you want to continue your marriage with Hong Yue, you should clearly and cleanly sever your relationship with Zhou Qian. Your daughter is not a reason for you and Zhou Qian to continue to have an ambiguous relationship. This is the responsibility and courage a man should have."

Hu Jiayun said this very seriously.

Qin Feng nodded. He understood this principle.

"Sister, I understand the truth, but if you ask me to completely sever ties with Zhou Qian, I... can't do it." Qin Feng said with difficulty.

"So, the answer to what should be done is already obvious," said Hu Jiayun.

Qin Feng looked at Hu Jiayun suddenly. In his opinion, this was a very complicated problem. However, after Hu Jiayun's analysis, the problem suddenly became very simple.

Yes, since he can't give up Zhou Qian, he seems to have no other choice.

"Marriage should not be a kind of charity and sympathy, and I don't think Hong Yue needs your charity and sympathy. Perhaps the reason why she is so miserable in this marriage is precisely because of your charity and sympathy." Hu Jiayun said again.

Qin Feng sat in the chair and fell into a long silence. Finally, he lit another cigarette: "Thank you, maybe I know what to do."

"You actually always knew what you should do, but you were afraid of hurting Hong Yue, so you couldn't make up your mind. You have always been like this, cruel to yourself, but always so cautious with the people around you."

"I've said before that your sentimentality is a double-edged sword. It can bring love to those around you, but it can also hurt them."

Qin Feng nodded. Hu Jiayun's analysis of him was always so thorough.

"As a sister, I hope to see you happy, but for so many years, your personal love life has been going around in circles and has never had a stable place. You are not young anymore, it's time to make a decision and live a down-to-earth life." Hu Jiayun said earnestly.

Qin Feng smiled bitterly: "Yes, I have made my life a mess these years. I'm sorry for making you worry."

"How's work going? It's not easy to be the deputy mayor, right?"

"If my personal life is a mess, then my recent work is not much better. The situation in Western Springs is too complicated, more complicated than I thought, especially after I came to Western Springs City Government, this feeling is even more profound."

"To be honest, sister, I really want to give up." Qin Feng shook his head helplessly.

"This doesn't sound like something you would say." Hu Jiayun was a little surprised.

"Before we went to Xiquan, your father mentioned to me that Xiquan was a long-standing problem in Jiangnan Province. I didn't quite understand it at the time. Xiquan City ranks last in the entire Jiangnan Province in terms of population and economic scale. Even if there is a problem, how big of a problem can it be?"

"In the past two years, I have been in Yi'an County and didn't pay much attention to the problems in Xiquan City. But after working in the city government for a few months, I finally understand why your father described Xiquan City in that way."

"Xiquan City ranks last in both population and economic size, but its problems are the most serious and complex." Qin Feng sighed.

"Is this also the reason why the province first transferred you to Yian County, and then forcibly transferred Xie Zhiguo from Nanlin City to Xiquan City?" Hu Jiayun asked. She also knew very little about Xiquan City.

Qin Feng nodded: "Sister, I have a bad feeling, Secretary Xie and I will both fail in Xiquan."
