Liu Qingqing was asked by Xiang Tianliang to the point of pain, and she glared at him, saying: "Go away, you're really capable, why mention this particular pot when no one is opening it?"

  "Hehe, isn't this for getting to know you better?"

  He smiled and pinched Liu Qingqing's chest again.

  "Do you really want to understand me?" Liu Qingqing asked with a tilted head.

  "Of course, I've already considered you as my sister, so shouldn't I know some things about your past and present life?"

  Liu Qingqing bit her lip, "Mm, then after I've said it, you have to tell me too, about the secret between you and Lao Yu."

  "No problem." Tian Liang replied with a mouthful of food, he really wanted to get to know Liu Qingqing.

  It's a coincidence that Xiang Liang met six women with different personalities in Qinghe City, where he was unfamiliar with the place, within half a year. His old classmate Xie Na is an old acquaintance, but unfortunately, they didn't get along before, and now they still can't be on the same path. The two female bosses, Zhu Qin and Huang Ying, were just acquaintances, and there was no understanding between them at all. Their motives made him afraid, and he tried to avoid them as much as possible. Among his two female colleagues in the office, Ye Nan's purpose was very clear - she wanted to use him to fill the void in that aspect, while Li Ya Juan was different, with a kind of maternal care that made him unknowingly get closer to her.

  In comparison, it was still Liu Qingqing who made Xiang Tianliang worried and concerned, so that night, he gave his clumsy first kiss to her.

  Liu Qingqing's experience is unique, at least in present-day Qinghe City, no one can replicate it.

  Infatuated with Yue Opera since childhood, went to the provincial capital at the age of seven to apprentice and learn the art, officially debuted on stage at ten years old, became famous throughout the province at thirteen years old, participated in the first national drama competition at sixteen years old and won the first prize...

  Liu Qingqing had two marriages. She married early, at the age of 21, to Xiao An, a playwright and director in her theater troupe. Xiao An was eighteen years older than Liu Qingqing and also her most important mentor in her career development. Xiao An's hometown was in Northwest China. Three years after their marriage, Xiao An insisted on returning to his hometown, so the couple amicably divorced to avoid affecting Liu Qingqing's career. Liu Qingqing took their child with her, while Xiao An returned alone to his hometown to care for his aging parents. Two years later, Xiao An passed away due to illness, ending Liu Qingqing's last attachment to him.

  Until two years ago when Liu Qingqing was 33 years old, she had been devoted to her career and hadn't started a new personal life.

  "Liu sister, how did you get to know Old Yu?" Xiang Tianliang asked curiously.

  "That was three years ago, when the National Youth League Conference was held in Beijing. Lao Yu and I were the only male and female representatives from Qinghe. I represented the opera circle, while he represented the construction industry. At that time, Lao Yu had just divorced and had just been promoted to deputy director of the Construction Bureau. Although we were both from Qinghe, we had never met before. Of course, he knew me, but I didn't even know there was a person named Yu Feilong in our city of Qinghe."

  Xiang Tian nodded and said, "I've heard Mr. Liu mention this before. It seems that you and Lao Yu settled the marriage in Beijing, and Mr. Liu also said that you two are a case of love at first sight."

  "What's wrong with him? My dad doesn't know what's going on either."

  "What reason? What's the reason?"

  Liu Qingqing asked: "Do you know Xie Zixiang, Director Xie?"

  Xiang Tianliang smiled and said, "How could I not know him? When he was the director of the Public Security Bureau in Binha County, I already knew him. His daughter Xie Na is even my high school classmate and arch-nemesis. Unfortunately, he doesn't recognize me."

  Liu Qingqing said, "Xie Zixiang is a die-hard fan of mine, but he has problems with his character. About five years ago, as the husband of someone else's wife, he began to pester me. In order to prevent him from bullying me, I asked my cousin's daughter to protect me. She was the provincial martial arts champion and had been a police officer for five years. Only then did Xie Zixiang gradually give up."

  "Haha, super fan is absolutely true, I heard that his office even has your performance photos hanging on the wall."

  Liu Qingqing also smiled lightly, "That's true, I heard that you can even sing a few lines, and it's considered one of the famous Yue Opera enthusiasts in Qinghe."

  "Liu Jie, you continue speaking."

  Nodding, Liu Qingqing continued: "Just when I was attending a meeting with Old Yu in the capital, Xie Zixiang suddenly arrived and came straight to me. It turned out that he and Old Yu were extremely close friends when they were in Binha County. In front of Old Yu, Xie Zixiang said he wanted to divorce his wife, Huang Lianpo, and marry me instead. I was both angry and amused at the time, and of course, I strictly rejected him."

  Xiang Tianliang scornfully said: "This Xie Zixuan is really shameless, he's lost face all the way to the capital."

  "That's not all, Xie Zixiang made another move. In the capital city, there was a retired old leader from our province who was also a theater enthusiast. When Xie Zixiang was serving in the army, he had been his bodyguard for two years. Xie Zixiang went to his home and lied that he didn't have a wife for many years, but now he had found an object, a famous Yue Opera actress, who was currently attending a conference in Beijing. The old leader was already 70 or 80 years old and was a bit senile, so when he got excited, he notified the conference service department to bring me over."

  "Haha, what happened next?" Tian Liang couldn't help but laugh. There are many shameless people in this world, and Xie Zixuan could score 99 points for that.

  "My hometown's old leader had invited me, so I went. At that time, two female comrades accompanied me, one was from the Provincial Youth League Committee, she was the deputy head of the provincial delegation at that meeting, and the other was from the Provincial Women's Federation, who used to be in the Yue Opera circle, considered my senior. After we arrived, my companion and I performed a few scenes for the old leader, he was so delighted that he asked me when I would marry Xie Zongxu, saying 'don't wait for an auspicious day, let's get married right away in Beijing', and he even offered to be our matchmaker."

  Xiang Tianliang laughed so hard he had to hold his stomach, "Liu Jie, was Xie Zixuan present at the time?"

  "I was present... At that time, I was really angry. In order to give Xie Zixuan some face, I didn't expose the fact that he had a wife. To make Xie Zixuan give up, and also in a moment of urgency, I told Old Chief that I already had someone. Old Chief asked who it was, and thinking of Yu Feilong, who was attending the meeting with me, I blurted out that my fiancé was Yu Feilong."

  Xiang Tianliang asked: "Liu sister, are you going to marry him just like that?"

  "That was also unavoidable, the old chief was a kind-hearted person, on the second day of the meeting recess, he invited dozens of people from our province who participated in the conference, including provincial leaders, and even Yu Feilong and Xie Zixiang to his home, and actually became the host, announcing that I and Yu Feilong were married... just like that, we became husband and wife in a daze."

  "So, that's why you two have this special husband-and-wife relationship now."

  "Yes, if I didn't feel a little sorry for Lao Yu, I would have left him long ago... He also knows that there is no emotional connection between us and it's impossible to try to establish one. So before we officially registered our marriage, we had a verbal agreement that neither of us would take care of the other's parents or children, nor interfere with each other's private lives. As long as one party thinks they need to change this situation, they can propose a divorce at any time and the other party must unconditionally accept it."

  "Then, Xie Zixuan will definitely be disappointed and in pain, right?"
