After lunch, Qiao Liang and Wu Huiwen went back to the hotel room to chat for a while. Qiao Liang had to catch a plane in the afternoon, but couldn't stay for too long. After almost the time came, Qiao Liang stood up and said goodbye: "Sister Wu, I still have to go to the airport. I can only stay here with you today."

"I'll take you to the airport." Wu Huiwen said.

"Sister Wu, don't have to be so troublesome." Qiao Liang said hurriedly.

"I drive myself, it's not trouble." Wu Huiwen smiled slightly, "Why, let me see you?"

"Okay." Qiao Liang did not insist. After hearing that it was Wu Huiwen who drove by himself, Qiao Liang subconsciously wanted to stay with Wu Huiwen for a while.

The two left the hotel, and Wu Huiwen personally drove a black Passat to the airport. Along the way, the two chatted from time to time, and Qiao Liang's eyes often stayed on Wu Huiwen's face. Qiao Liang found that he actually felt a little reluctant to leave for the upcoming farewell.

Wu Huiwen seemed to notice Qiao Liang's emotions and smiled slightly: "Why, can't bear to leave?"

"It's really a bit." Qiao Liang nodded with a smile.

"If I had the chance this year, maybe I would go to Xizhou to see you." Wu Huiwen said.

"Really?" Qiao Liang showed a look of surprise on his face.

"Really." Wu Huiwen nodded and said, "Our project to help the Northwest in Guanzhou should be implemented after the New Year. If nothing unexpected happens, I will lead the team to inspect. Then go to Xizhou to see you."

"That's great. I'll take Sister Wu to have fun at that time." Qiao Liang said happily.

While he was joking, he arrived at the airport unknowingly. When Qiao Liang was about to get off the bus, Wu Huiwen said: "Xiao Qiao, I won't get off the bus anymore. I wish you peace all the way."

Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment, and his movements of opening the car door paused. He turned to look at Wu Huiwen, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "Sister Wu, before parting, I want to..."

"What do you think?" Wu Huiwen looked at Qiao Liang with a smile.

Qiao Liang mustered up the courage: "I want to... hug you..."

"Yes." Wu Huiwen nodded generously.

Qiao Liang felt warm and then hugged Wu Huiwen.

Feeling Wu Huiwen's warm and maternal body, Qiao Liang's heart was moved, and he was still a little restless, and he couldn't help but start exerting force...

After a moment, Wu Huiwen's chuckled came from Qiao Liang's ear: "Xiao Qiao, I'm almost out of breath."

Qiao Liang came back to his senses and quickly let go of Wu Huiwen and said embarrassedly: "Sister Wu, I'm sorry..."

"It's okay." Wu Huiwen smiled calmly and looked at Qiao Liang, "Xiao Qiao, go."

"Okay, then I'll leave first." Qiao Liang glanced at Wu Huiwen for the last time before getting off the car.

After walking for dozens of meters, Qiao Liang turned around and saw that Wu Huiwen's car was still parked in place. He couldn't help but wave to Wu Huiwen's car. Wu Huiwen in the car subconsciously waved his hand.

Then Qiao Liang headed straight to the domestic entrance of the airport. When he passed the international entrance, Qiao Liang suddenly heard someone calling him.

Qiao Liang turned around and saw who he was. After seeing clearly, Qiao Liang was surprised. It turned out to be Xu Honggang's wife He Li. She would take her daughter Nini and stand at the international entrance.

Qiao Liang didn't expect to meet the other person here so by chance, so he hurried over.

"Sister-in-law, such a coincidence." Qiao Liang greeted He Li warmly.

"It's a coincidence." He Li nodded and looked at Qiao Liang, "Xiao Qiao, where are you going?"

"I'm going to Jincheng. I'm now working in Liangbei County, Xizhou City, under the jurisdiction of Northwest Province. Now, the Spring Festival holiday is coming to an end, and I have to go back." Qiao Liang replied.

He Li looked a little surprised when she heard this: "Have you been to the Northwest for a job? I thought you were still following Lao Xu in Jiangzhou."

"I haven't followed Secretary Xu for a long time. Didn't he tell you?" It was Qiao Liang's turn to be surprised.

At the same time, Qiao Liang thought that if what He Li said was true, not only Xu Honggang had not mentioned him to He Li, but it seemed that Fang Xiaoya had not mentioned it in front of He Li either.

Fang Xiaoya is treating her illness in the United States, and He Li has been studying with her children in the United States for a long time. As cousins, they should meet often, but Fang Xiaoya is ill. Even if He Li goes to see her, she may not ask her. Fang Xiaoya, if He Li doesn't ask, she may not ask her.

Thinking about it, this seems normal.

In this way, Qiao Liang was surprised at this time because He Li didn't know the news of her change from Xu Honggang.

"No." A hint of embarrassment flashed in He Li's eyes.

Qiao Liang noticed He Li's expression and felt more and more strange. He felt that He Li didn't seem to tell the truth, as if she was hiding something. Thinking of this, Qiao Liang felt aroused and asked, "Sister-in-law, you made a special trip to bring Nini back to reunite with Secretary Xu during the Chinese New Year, right?"

He Li's face became more and more unnatural at this time, and she nodded and said, "That's right."

Is that? Qiao Liang was a little puzzled when he heard this. This answer was really forced, unlike what a normal couple said.

Qiao Liang was still thinking, and suddenly heard Nini say in an adult tone: "Mom, you have divorced my dad, so why are you still covering up for him? My dad hasn't even come to see you during the New Year. I have no longer had you in my heart, so why do you think about him everywhere..."

"Ah?" Qiao Liang was shocked when he heard this and looked at He Li in shock, "Sister-in-law, you and Secretary Xu..."

He Li smiled bitterly, trying to stop her daughter from saying that it was too late. Since Qiao Liang already knew about it, He Li stopped hiding it and said, "Xiao Qiao, it's true that Lao Xu and I have divorced, and we have been together for a long time."

"This..." Qiao Liang didn't know what to say for a moment. Although Nini had already said it just now, Qiao Liang was still shocked when he heard what He Li said with his own ears. He always thought that Xu Honggang's marriage and family were very happy, but he didn't expect that He Li would have divorced long ago.

At this moment, Qiao Liang suddenly remembered something again. Every time Xu Honggang mentioned Ye Xinyi, his expression seemed a little wrong. Did Qiao Liang think a lot in an instant, and when Ye Xinyi talked about Xu Honggang, his expression was a bit strange, as if he didn't want to talk more about Xu Honggang.

This time I met He Li by chance, Qiao Liang finally understood something.

Qiao Liang was thinking about his thoughts, but then he heard He Li say, "Xiao Qiao, we are going in, we have a chance to see you again."

"Okay." Qiao Liang nodded, remembering that Fang Xiaoya was treating her illness in the United States, and quickly said, "Sister-in-law, Xiaoya is in the United States, I hope you will take care of her."

"Don't worry, Xiaoya is my cousin. Who will take care of me if I don't take care of her?" He Li nodded, "Xiao Qiao, I know Xiaoya likes you very much."

Qiao Liang was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly. He knew that Xiaoya liked him, but deep down he was willing to treat Fang Xiaoya as a sister. He did not want to hurt Fang Xiaoya emotionally, so he dared not accept Fang Xiaoya's feelings.

Qiao Liang was still immersed in his thoughts, and then he heard He Li say, "Xiao Qiao, don't call me sister-in-law in the future, call me sister."

"Uh..." Qiao Liang came back to his senses, looking a little uncomfortable, "Okay, Sister He..."

He Li smiled at Qiao Liang, then dragged her luggage in with Nini, and their figures quickly disappeared from Qiao Liang's sight.

Qiao Liang let out a sigh of relief, shook his head, took back his thoughts, entered the airport, changed his boarding pass, passed the security check, and found a seat near the boarding gate to sit down.

The flight arrived on time, Qiao Liang boarded the plane, and after more than three hours of journey, Qiao Liang landed in Jincheng.

After leaving the airport, Qiao Liang called Liao Gufeng as soon as possible.

After the phone was connected, Qiao Liang hurriedly said, "Secretary Liao, is it convenient for you now? I want to visit you."

"Don't come over if you don't have any important matters." Liao Gufeng seemed to guess the purpose of Qiao Liang coming, and said, "Boy, do you still remember what I said to you before? As long as you walk straight and sit upright, you don't have to worry about gains and losses."

Liao Gufeng hung up the phone after saying that.

Qiao Liang was a little stunned with his cell phone. Liao Gufeng didn't let him go. However, after carefully savoring Liao Gufeng's words, Qiao Liang understood something again.

After thinking for a while, Qiao Liang put away his cell phone, looked at the time, and simply stopped going to the city, waiting for the last flight from Jincheng to Xizhou in the evening.

I was bored to pass the time in the small airport restaurant. Before half an hour had passed, Qiao Liang's cell phone rang. He took it out and looked at it. It was Ding Xiaoyun who called it, and Qiao Liang immediately picked it up.

"County Magistrate Qiao, are you back?" Ding Xiaoyun asked on the other end of the phone.

"Secretary Ding, I just landed at Jincheng Airport. The last flight to Xizhou in the evening." Qiao Liang said.

"Then where are you now?" Ding Xiaoyun asked.

"It's in the airport now." Qiao Liang replied subconsciously, then reacted, "Secretary Ding, are you in Jincheng too?"

"Well, I'm in Jincheng now, I'm on the same flight as you, you're waiting for me at the airport." Ding Xiaoyun said.

"Oh, it's a coincidence." Qiao Liang couldn't help but smile and continued, "Okay, I'll wait for you in the airport restaurant."

Qiao Liang waited for nearly an hour before seeing Ding Xiaoyun appear at the entrance of the restaurant. Qiao Liang quickly stood up and waved to Ding Xiaoyun: "Secretary Ding, here."

Ding Xiaoyun saw Qiao Liang and walked towards him. Qiao Liang pulled a chair and Ding Xiaoyun sat next to Qiao Liang.

This was the first time the two met since the night before the New Year. When they saw Qiao Liang, Ding Xiaoyun's face turned red without feeling that his eyes looked at Qiao Liang were a little uncomfortable.

Compared to Ding Xiaoyun's embarrassment, Qiao Liang was much more natural and smiled and said, "Secretary Ding, Happy New Year."

"The New Year is over." Ding Xiaoyun replied softly.

"Today is the sixth day of the Chinese New Year, and the New Year is not over yet," said Qiao Liang.

Ding Xiaoyun responded softly, staring at the table, feeling at a loss. Before coming, Ding Xiaoyun didn't think so much, but felt that he hadn't seen Qiao Liang for a few days and missed him inexplicably. But after he really met Qiao Liang, Ding Xiaoyun realized that he could not face Qiao Liang calmly.

Qiao Liang saw that Ding Xiaoyun was unnatural and took the initiative to find the topic: "Secretary Ding, why did you come to Jincheng today?"

"I accompanied a leader in the city to Jincheng to visit his old friend." Ding Xiaoyun said.

"Oh?" Qiao Liang frowned slightly, and Ding Xiaoyun's words seemed to reveal a lot of information.

Qiao Liang looked at Ding Xiaoyun thoughtfully and asked, "Which leader in the city?"

"Guess." Ding Xiaoyun blinked, and a hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes. When talking about the serious matter, Ding Xiaoyun became much more calm.

Qiao Liang smiled bitterly: "Secretary Ding, how could I guess this?"

Ding Xiaoyun smiled and stopped keeping her indifferently: "I came with Mayor Xiao."

"Mayor Xiao?" Qiao Liang's expression was shocked. There was only one mayor named Xiao in the city, and that was Xiao Shunhe, the second in command of Xizhou.

Qiao Liang glanced at Ding Xiaoyun with a little uncertainty, and asked again: "Is it Xiao Shun and Mayor?"

"Of course it's him, and he is the only mayor named Xiao in the city." Ding Xiaoyun said with a smile.
