"As you know, if we actors don't have a good reputation, which director would dare to hire us for a film? Even our respective employers might fire us because of that."
Comrade Zhou, public figures should act like public figures. Before things get out of hand, I suggest you continue living with your wife.
Children need a complete family; you can't let your wife and daughter down!
Zhou Zhiyuan's expression became agitated: "Is this what you really think?" He stepped forward and grabbed Qin Yaxin's left arm.
"hiss!"
Qin Yaxin let out a cry of pain.
"Xin Xin...did I hurt you?"
Seeing that Qin Yaxin's face had turned somewhat pale, Zhou Zhiyuan panicked and couldn't help but quickly withdraw his hand.
Seeing the tension and concern in his eyes, Qin Yaxin shook her head slightly: "No." But her pained expression couldn't lie, so Zhou Zhiyuan naturally didn't believe her. The tension and concern in his eyes involuntarily intensified, and he asked, "Is your arm injured?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yaxin shook her head again, a slight smile playing on her lips: "I'm not injured."
To avoid being grabbed and examined by the other person, Qin Yaxin involuntarily took two steps back and then said, "Whether it's what I said to you on the phone or what we're saying face to face now, not a single word is a lie. You can think about what I've said carefully and you'll see if what I've said makes sense."
"But I...but my feelings for you..."
Zhou Zhiyuan's voice was strained. Seeing the hurt in his eyes, Qin Yaxin felt a little bad too. But right is right, and wrong is wrong. It can only be said that they met the right person at the wrong time. Even if they love each other, they can't just ignore the feelings of the people around them and get together!
"I know, I know everything. Your feelings for me are genuine, and so am mine. In the end, it's just that we met at the wrong time... So, all I can say is sorry!"
With an apologetic look, Qin Yaxin asked, "Do...do you have anything else to say to me?"
Zhou Zhiyuan's eyes were filled with disappointment and hurt. He remained silent for a long time before finally shaking his head.
He smiled bitterly to himself. She had made herself so clear and unambiguous... what else could he say? What was there to say?
"Feelings develop over time. You should care more about your wife and try to understand her better. After all, it's fate that brought you together as husband and wife. Women are more emotional and relatively more vulnerable than men..."
Your bringing up divorce will definitely be a huge blow to her. Show her some concern, lest... lest she get carried away and become fixated on something negative, and then, one wrong move could lead to irreparable consequences.
After a moment of silence, Qin Yaxin smiled and said, "From now on, I will call you Comrade Zhou, or Teacher Zhou. Let's make progress together in our work and see who reaches the top first! Keep it up!"
Zhou Zhiyuan stared at him for a long while before nodding: "Okay... Good luck!"
"It's getting dark, you should head back early and be careful on the road."
Qin Yaxin felt completely relieved at this moment. Her smile was pure as she let Zhou Zhiyuan gaze at her without blinking.
"……goodbye!"
As darkness fell, Zhou Zhiyuan, despite his reluctance and heartache, knew it was time to go back. He smiled and said goodbye to Qin Yaxin, then reluctantly turned away and walked away.
He arrived by taxi and now needs to leave the steel mill residential area and hail a taxi on the street to return home.

"They're gone?!"
Qin Yaxin returned to the living room and, upon hearing Song Lan's question, immediately replied, "He's gone. He listened to what I said and will probably keep his distance from me in the future."
"That's good."
Song Lan looked pleased and said, "Go wash your hands and come eat."
"Sister-in-law, I can't quite understand what you and my second sister are saying?"
Qin Yaxin looked at Song Lan, her eyes filled with doubt.
"You will understand when the time comes."
Song Lan smiled, and after Qin Yaxin sat down in the dining chair, she turned her gaze to Qin's father: "Dad, let's start eating."
Father Qin smiled and nodded: "Alright, everyone, start eating!"
Half an hour later, the dinner ended in a harmonious atmosphere. However, Qin's father did not get up and leave immediately. His gaze fell on Qin Yanzheng: "What were you doing in the study this afternoon?"
Qin Yanzheng was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Read a book."
"Yeah?"
Qin's father remained skeptical. Although he was busy working in his study that afternoon, he went downstairs to get a drink of water. During that time, he vaguely heard a noise coming from his eldest son's study, which sounded like the cracking of a whip...
With a slight frown, Qin's father felt that he couldn't possibly be hallucinating.
Qin Yanzheng nodded: "I was indeed reading in the study."
"Sister-in-law..."
Qin Yaxin was feeling very uncomfortable. Hearing her voice, Song Lan said, "Go back to your room and rest. My sister and I will tidy up."
"Second sister, just listen to your sister-in-law and go back to your room to rest!"
As Qin Yaxuan spoke, she and Song Lan quickly cleaned up the dining table. After they went to the kitchen, to avoid feeling uncomfortable in the dining room, Qin Yaxin greeted her father and Qin Yanzheng, and then said goodbye to Qin Yuhang and Dabao before leaving the dining room and going upstairs.
"Come on, your uncle will take you to the living room to play."
After Qin Yaxin left, Qin Yuhang led Da Bao and the other three out of the dining room.
When only Qin Yanzheng and his father remained in the dining room, Qin's father spoke up: "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
"dad……"
Qin Yanzheng looked troubled for a moment. He could tell that his father was not easily fooled, because his father seemed to have guessed something.
