In the early morning, the clouds in the sky quietly dispersed.

Qiao Liang woke up in the morning and stretched his body with great energy. After looking at the time, it was only six o'clock and it was still dark outside. Qiao Liang couldn't help but lay down again.

The snow outside the window had stopped at some point, but Qiao Liang was lying in the warm bed but didn't think about it at all. He picked up his phone and looked at the information from last night. Qiao Liang replied selectively and then started to watch the news.

Outside the door, there was a vague sound of talking. Qiao Liang heard that it was Ma Yuanxiang and his mother-in-law talking. After looking at the door, a trace of doubt flashed in Qiao Liang's eyes. He remembered that when he was sleeping last night, it seemed that the door was not closed? The door was closed now.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Qiao Liang exclaimed lightly. Under the light of his cell phone, he saw several long hair next to his pillow.

What's going on? Qiao Liang was a little stunned. How could there be long hair on the pillow where he slept? Could it be that Ma Yuanxiang fell out before? It was impossible. When he sat on the kang last night, he had a vague impression that Ma Yuanxiang brought him a new pillow.

If you smell it carefully, there was a faint fragrance on the pillow, as if a woman had lie down.

Qiao Liang was a little stunned and didn't understand what was going on for a moment. However, he remembered the dream he had last night when he woke up. He didn't know why he dreamed of Zhang Mei last night. He seemed to have a quarrel with Zhang Mei. The humiliation and resentment that had accumulated in the past seemed to erupt in the dream. He pushed Zhang Mei down and took revenge on the other party.

Thinking of last night's dream, Qiao Liang suddenly felt that when he was doing that with Zhang Mei last night, it seemed like it was real, not like a dream.

Thinking of Zhang Mei now, Qiao Liang sighed. No matter what Zhang Mei was like in the past, Zhang Mei was also a pitiful person. As a couple, he could only wish Zhang Mei could recover one day. But seeing Zhang Mei’s current chaotic appearance, this hope is a bit slim.

Pressing down the deep thoughts in his heart, Qiao Liang picked up the hairs on the pillow, his eyes were still full of confusion, and finally threw away the hairs.

Outside the house and in the kitchen, Ma Yuanxiang helped her mother-in-law make a fire and cook. Thinking about the scenes in the middle of the night last night, Ma Yuanxiang was a little absent-minded and distracted from time to time.

"Yuanxiang, the fire is about to burn outside." The mother-in-law reminded Ma Yuanxiang.

Ma Yuanxiang came to her senses and quickly put the firewood inside.

The mother-in-law looked at Ma Yuanxiang, sighed quietly, and asked casually: "Yuanxiang, Anfu has passed away. Do you have any plans in the future?"

Ma Yuanxiang was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect her mother-in-law to ask this question. She shook her head and said, "Mom, An Fu has just left. I don't have the heart to think about this, let alone I don't want to find it anymore. Living alone is easy."

"Don't say stupid things. You are still young. Are you still widowed for the rest of your life?" The mother-in-law looked at Ma Yuanxiang, "Although you are my daughter-in-law, as a woman, I understand the hardships of women. If you really want to find another one in the future, the mother-in-law will not stop you, but will only be happy for you."

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Ma Yuanxiang smiled bitterly and said, "Why did you suddenly talk about this?"

The mother-in-law shook her head and did not answer the question. She suddenly asked: "That County Mayor Qiao is a high-ranking official in the county. He looks very young. Have you ever asked for a wife?"

"Ah?" Ma Yuanxiang was stunned again. When he thought of something, Ma Yuanxiang's face turned red and hesitated, "Mom, how could I know about County Magistrate Qiao? You are a little strange today, how could you talk about these strange words."

"It's nothing." The mother-in-law shook her head and was busy with her own affairs.

Ma Yuanxiang stared at her mother-in-law for a while, but she didn't see any clues on her face. She felt relieved, but her face was still hot. Could it be that what happened in Qiao Liang's house in the middle of the night was discovered by her mother-in-law? Ma Yuanxiang guessed in her heart and felt it was unlikely that when she came back from Qiao Liang's room last night, she saw that her mother-in-law was still sleeping deeply. It wasn't that when her mother-in-law woke up and was just pretending to be asleep?

Ma Yuanxiang was confused for a moment, thinking whether her mother-in-law had found out, otherwise why would her mother-in-law suddenly say such strange things today, but she also felt that maybe she was thinking about it.

In this contradictory mentality, Ma Yuanxiang was panicked for no reason when she saw Qiao Liang appearing at the kitchen door.

"Do you have a toothbrush?" Qiao Liang stayed in the quilt for half an hour and finally got up. He had to rush to the provincial capital today and had to go back early.

"Yes, I'll get it for you now, I forgot last night." Ma Yuanxiang stood up in a panic.

Qiao Liang looked at Ma Yuanxiang and felt that Ma Yuanxiang was a little strange.

After brushing his teeth, the three of them sat down for breakfast. Qiao Liang felt that the atmosphere seemed a bit strange, but he didn't think much about it.

After breakfast, Qiao Liang went outside to clean up the snow covered on the windshield in front of the car, and then went into the house and shouted Ma Yuanxiang: "Let's go. I'm going to rush to the provincial capital today, so I have to set off early."

"Okay." Ma Yuanxiang nodded and said goodbye to her mother-in-law.

The snow on the road was not very thick. Qiao Liang drove the car intently and tried his best to control the speed. He hadn't heard Ma Yuanxiang talk for a long time, so Qiao Liang turned his head strangely, "Why don't you speak?"

"Ah?" Ma Yuanxiang was startled.

"Why are you still shocked?" Qiao Liang looked at Ma Yuanxiang in wonder. It seemed that something was wrong with this woman since she woke up in the morning.

"It's okay." Ma Yuanxiang stammered in a panic, then looked at Qiao Liang, thought to himself, "County Magistrate Qiao, since we met, we seem to have never heard you give me a name."

"Oh, what do you want me to call you?" Qiao Liang smiled.

"You... just call me Yuanxiang." After Ma Yuanxiang said this, his face turned red quietly.

After hearing Ma Yuanxiang's words, Qiao Liang felt a little strange in his heart when he saw Ma Yuanxiang's expression. He thought for a while and said, "Yes, then I will call you Yuanxiang from now on. Since I call you that's the case, then you should stop calling me County Magistrate Qiao, just call me Qiao Liang."

Although Qiao Liang felt that this was nothing more than a title, he still had a little temptation to say this at this time.

Ma Yuanxiang nodded softly when he heard Qiao Liang's words.

After hearing Ma Yuanxiang agree, Qiao Liang blinked and noticed Ma Yuanxiang's hair again. He felt a little golden. Ma Yuanxiang's hair was dyed before, and it was a little curly. The hairs I found next to my pillow this morning were almost the same.

Could it be that Ma Yuanxiang came to her house in the middle of the night last night?

The more I thought about it, the more I felt strange. Thinking about the dream I had in the middle of the night, Qiao Liang's eyes became strange, it was impossible...

"Qiao... Qiao Liang, pay attention to the road." Ma Yuanxiang exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Liang's car was about to hit a stone stump on the side of the road, so he quickly turned the steering wheel.

"Qiao Liang, you should concentrate on driving. The road is slippery and dangerous in the snow." Ma Yuanxiang said.

Qiao Liang nodded. The road conditions were not good, so he really couldn't stand being distracted.

After experiencing this, Qiao Liang had no intention of thinking about what happened last night and drove attentively. After the car arrived at the county town, Qiao Liang first sent Ma Yuanxiang to the school, and then rushed to Xizhou without stopping.

When they arrived in Xizhou, Qiao Liang parked his car in a hotel parking lot, and then took a taxi to the airport. The wind and dust were turbulent until after 5 pm, Qiao Liang finally arrived in Jincheng.

After leaving the airport, Qiao Liang took out his cell phone and called Liao Gufeng, and it was quickly connected.

"Secretary Liao, I've arrived in Jincheng and just landed." Qiao Liang said.

"Well, you can find a place to rest first, and then send me the address. I'll send someone to pick you up tonight." Liao Gufeng's voice sounded very calm on the other end of the phone.

"Okay." Qiao Liang nodded quickly.

After hanging up Liao Gufeng's phone, Qiao Liang felt a little excited. He was about to see Liao Gufeng in the evening. He thought of handing the small notebook to Liao Gufeng's hand. The look of surprise appeared on Liao Gufeng's face, and Qiao Liang was full of expectation.

Qiao Liang looked at the time and rushed for a day, but was a little tired. He slept in the hotel first and then waited for Liao Gufeng's call to call at night.

Liao Gufeng's office.

After answering Qiao Liang's call, Liao Gufeng pondered for a moment, took out his cell phone and dialed a phone number, and made some arrangements.

Liao Gufeng did not let the secretary do such a thing. It is said that the secretary is a person who is very close to him, but Liao Gufeng did not choose to let the secretary know.

In the small office outside the door, Liao Gufeng's secretary looked up at the inner office from time to time. Although the door was closed, the secretary was always paying attention to it, seeing when Liao Gufeng would suddenly come out. The secretary was guessing the call Liao Gufeng answered last night, thinking that maybe Liao Gufeng was just arranged to meet with the other party today, but until now, the secretary has not seen Liao Gufeng have any movement, and he thought in his heart that he must have guessed wrongly.

After a while, Liao Gufeng walked out of the office, glanced at the secretary, and smiled and said, "It's time to get off work, it's okay tonight, go back early."

"Secretary Liao, are you going back?" the secretary asked.

"Yes, go home for dinner tonight." Liao Gufeng smiled. Usually, Liao Gufeng is very approachable and does not feel the majesty of the leader at all.

He followed Liao Gufeng downstairs and watched Liao Gufeng get in the car and leave. The secretary also got into his car. He felt something was wrong, but he couldn't say it. He wanted to follow Liao Gufeng's car and take a look. He immediately gave up his thoughts and did not dare to do that with both of his courage.

In the hotel room, Qiao Liang woke up after a sleep and found it was already dark outside. After checking the time, it was past seven o'clock. Before Liao Gufeng called him, Qiao Liang was a little disappointed and thought that he didn't know what time to wait for at night.

Walking around the room boredly, after about twenty minutes, the phone rang, Qiao Liang was excited and quickly picked up his phone.

Seeing that it was a strange number, Qiao Liang was stunned and then connected.

"Hello, is it Mr. Qiao? I'll pick you up and go to a place." A man's voice rang out from the other end of the phone.

"Did Secretary Liao ask you?" Qiao Liang asked.

"I don't know. I'm just ordered to pick you up. I've already arrived downstairs of the hotel where you are. The license plate number is..."

"Okay, I'll go down right away." Qiao Liang nodded and put down his phone.

When he arrived downstairs of the hotel, Qiao Liang soon saw the man who picked him up. The other party was driving a military jeep with a special license plate. After seeing Qiao Liang, the other party nodded slightly and didn't say much. After picking Qiao Liang, he drove away.
