after accidentally becoming first lady

Qi Leran and Andy, who were wrestling and writhing on the bed, were startled by Hoffman's sudden shout. Qi Leran looked at his face as black as a pan, and knew the scruples in his heart, so he let go Kai Kai grabbed Andy's hand, quickly jumped off the bed, raised his hand to stroke his messy hair due to fighting.

But Andy sat up, still sitting on the bed, looked up at Hoffman, and said loudly with a bit of displeasure, "Uncle, you have the habit of entering other people's houses without waiting for their permission. When will you stop?" Change it!"

Hoffman glanced at Andy with a dark face, ignored him, but turned to Qi Leran who was standing on the ground and said in a deep voice, "Come with me, I have something to tell you!" After finishing speaking, he turned around Go outside.

Qi Leran knew that tonight would definitely not be so easy, no, what should come will always come, because he had expected it, so he nodded calmly, looked back at Andy, and followed Huo Fuman walked out quickly behind him.

Seeing this, Andy, who was still sitting on the bed, jumped from the bed to the ground. He didn't even have time to put on his slippers, so he quickly ran to Qi Leran's side in three steps at a time, grabbed his arm, and fell on him He whispered worriedly in his ear, "I eavesdropped on the conversation between him and my dad outside the study this morning, and only then did I find out about you and Professor Sterman. You should be more careful in a while, my uncle is not a Easy to deal with, Lord!"

Qi Leran turned her head and smiled at him, raised her hand and patted the hand holding his arm comfortingly, signaling him to rest assured, and then strode out behind Hoffman.

He couldn't tell Andy that although it was only a few months, he was no longer the Qi Leran that Andy knew. At this time, Hoffman is really very important to the difficulties he will face. A piece of cake.

In the large but slightly dull study on the second floor, Hoffman and Qi Leran sat opposite each other across the mahogany desk.

After a long silence, Hoffman was the first to speak, "I believe you already know what I want to tell you, but I still want to say it."

He looked up and looked at Qi Leran who was sitting opposite him, behind the desk, and saw that he didn't show any disgust when he heard what he said. , and his tone softened subconsciously.

"I know that you and Sterman really love each other. I don't understand and don't want to comment on this kind of same-sex relationship that is different from ordinary people, but what I want to tell you is that people live in this world. In this world, love is not the only thing, if your love will hurt most people and also hurt yourself, then why can't you hide this feeling silently in your heart?"

Speaking of this, his tone suddenly became sharp, staring closely at Qi Leran's eyes, and said slowly and deeply, "Isn't this feeling hidden in my heart? Isn't this feeling? Does this feeling have to be made public and publicized?" Can the uproar prove it?"

Facing Hoffman's gaze, Qi Leran didn't back down in the slightest. She suddenly nodded at him, tilted her head and murmured thoughtfully, "So this is Mr. Hoffman's view of love. No wonder you obviously like Rui." Na, but she has never shown the slightest bit!"

Hoffman didn't expect him to say such words, and his serious expression suddenly twisted slightly. He quickly lowered his head, raised his hand to adjust his glasses, and concealed his embarrassment. After a while, he reluctantly He said, "We are talking about you and Sterman now, don't get involved in irrelevant things!"

However, Qi Leran did not follow his words and turned back to his so-called main topic, but looked at him and smiled, and continued to say, "Mr. Hoffman, you can talk about my feelings, why can't I talk about yours ? Is there a relationship between superiors and subordinates when it comes to emotional issues?"

Hoffman was once again choked by Qi Leran's words. Although from his standpoint, the relationship between Qi Leran and Sterman is not a personal issue at all, but a very serious political incident, but for Qi Leran himself, His feelings are just a matter of personal feelings. If he doesn't want to talk about it, no one can do anything about him.

Thinking of this, Hoffman took a deep breath, raised his head and returned expressionlessly, "Since you mentioned this, doesn't that just confirm what I just said? Not all emotions have to be put into action." Implementation!"

Qi Leran looked at Hoffman with sympathetic eyes, and said softly, "That's because you know that the person you love will never love you, so you choose to bury that feeling in your heart, Mr. Hoffman, "Qi Leran sighed lowly, and then said, "Please forgive me, your behavior is not restraint, but cowardice!"

"You!" Hoffman stood up abruptly, pointing at Qi Leran, who was trembling with anger. The reason and restraint he had always been proud of in relation to emotion and career were trampled on mercilessly by Qi Leran.

"Mr. Hoffman, I absolutely did not mean to offend you. I just want to ask you, if Ruina also likes you, admires you, and is willing to spend the rest of her life with you, will you still be as tolerant and restrained as you are now?" " Qi Leran raised his head and asked slowly with a sincere expression.

Hoffman was left speechless by his question, thinking that Rina would love him the same, and could even spend the rest of his life with Rina, Hoffman's heart boiled like boiling oil, it was really overwhelming I can't suppress the throbbing.

He looked at the young man with a sincere expression in front of him, and suddenly sat back on the chair slumped, but his expression no longer had the firmness and calmness before.

"Mr. Hoffman, if you have never liked Reina, then you will not understand my mood at this time. It is always easy to point fingers at others from the perspective of a bystander. Only when things fall on your own head, Only then did I know what was going on, and…”

"Qi, didn't you say you wanted to cook us your specialty?" At this moment, Andy's loud voice came from outside the door, and after a series of hurried footsteps, Andy suddenly pushed Hoffman away. The door of the study room, poked his head in, and said loudly to Qi Leran, "my mother asked me to ask when you can come down to cook?"

Hoffman, who was already a little depressed, was suddenly interrupted by Andy at this time, slapped the table angrily, and said loudly, "It's your fault to barge in and interrupt other people's conversations without even knocking on the door." education!"

"Didn't you break into my room without permission?!" Andy muttered in a low voice that Hoffman could just hear, and then made a grimace at Qi Leran who turned his head to look at him, signaling I came to make trouble on purpose to save him, and after telling him to come out quickly, I closed the door vigorously with a bang and ran away.

Qi Leran was amused by him and shook his head with a smile, stood up, smiled at the angry Hoffman and said, "Sorry, Mr. Hoffman, I'm going down to cook my specialty, otherwise I'll drag it on , I don’t know when I can have dinner today!”

Cooking was originally just an excuse for Hoffman to let Qi leran come to his house for Christmas, but now it has become a reason for Qi leran to avoid him. Things in the world are so hard to explain.

Qi Leran turned around and walked to the door of the study room. When she stretched out her hand to pull the door, she suddenly remembered something. She turned her head and continued what she hadn't said just now, and said, "And what can defeat love in this world is always love itself, not the outside world." The pressure!" After finishing speaking, he opened the door and walked out quickly.

Qi Leran's specialty dish is boiled pork slices, which are ready-made ingredients he brought from China. Just cut the beef and head vegetables and cook them with the ready-made wet ingredients in the seasoning bag, and then sprinkle the dry ingredients on the cooked On top of the beef and head dish, it is ready as soon as it is poured with boiling hot oil.

When the hot oil is poured on the dry ingredients, the whole room is filled with the aroma of chili, which makes people move their index fingers.

Before Qi Leran brought this dish to the table, Andy couldn't wait to fork a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, but he was scalded and stamped his feet, and complained that Qi Leran didn't remind him in advance.

The silver candlesticks in the dining room are filled with lighted candles, which complement the crystal chandelier on the ceiling. Mrs. Hoffman is cheerfully arranging the tableware, and Mr. Hoffman is opening the wine. Noisy, the aroma of food wafted in the air, and Sandhoffmann, who was slowly walking down the stairs, suddenly felt a sense of loneliness in this lively scene. For a moment, he almost To turn around and run away.

Although he is an outsider, Qi Leran, whose mood is completely different from his, is full of envy and yearning. At this moment, how much he is grateful for Stetman's persistent efforts, so that he can also have yearning in his heart. One day he can also have such a happy family!

Mr. Hoffman was taller and more lenient than his younger brother, while Mrs. Hoffman was very lively and outgoing. We all sat together and ate this feast that was not a holiday, but it was more like a holiday, and even drank a few glasses of red wine. Qi Leran is already a little drunk, and I don't know if it's because of drunkenness or excitement, his cheeks are flushed, and he looks very cute.

After finishing his work, Sterman came to Hoffman's house to pick up Qi Leran and went home without hesitation. Sand Hoffman stood behind the curtain of the floor-to-ceiling window in the hall on the first floor, watching as he ran out from the door like a gust of wind, pounced on Qi lelan on Sterman's body has complicated and difficult to distinguish expressions on his face.

The young man with cheeks like red apples danced excitedly while gesticulating and talking happily, while the handsome man looked down at him dotingly with a smile on his face, and raised his hand to button the coat that the young man hadn't buttoned because he was in a hurry to go out. After buttoning it, he naturally took off the black wool scarf around his neck and tied it around the young man's exposed neck.

Seeing the young man's excited and happy appearance, the man waved to the driver of the black luxury car not far away, and the driver got into the car knowingly and drove out slowly.

The man took the young man's hand and walked towards the distance together side by side. The fluttering snowflakes shone brightly under the illumination of the street lamps. There were only those two men walking side by side on the deserted street. In the empty night, suddenly With temperature...

Hoffman's heart seemed to be stung by something suddenly. He staggered and turned, leaning his whole body against the wall by the window, and slowly slid down along the wall...

The festival passed quickly, and the presidential election office ushered in their busiest period of time. In the second phase of the poll, Sterman also continued to lead without any suspense with a rising support rate.

Knowing that the election is hopeless, the Independent Party is naturally unable to invest blindly. The Independent Party candidate Aldrich Brown has almost stopped all campaign activities, and he almost directly announced his abandonment of the presidential election.

In this way until the new year, when the presidential election in late January was publicly voted, Sterman was officially elected as the next president of country h with an absolute majority of votes!

Now that the election campaign is over, the campaign office will naturally cease to exist. Almost everyone in the office has benefited, and the hard work of the past few months has finally paid off.

Although the official appointment has not yet come down, Albert Ridge Black, the political officer for the election office, will serve as the Secretary of State of the future national government, Sander, the financial officer, and Hoffman will serve as the Minister of Finance of the future national government, but it is almost a certainty. thing.

To everyone's great surprise, George Evans, the officer closest to Sterman, did not follow Sterman into the future national government to hold an important position as everyone expected, but took the initiative to return to Sterman Anderson Law Firm So, it's very confusing.

And the remaining few assistants also entered the national government department, but because their ranks and resumes were too low, they had to be assigned to grassroots offices as ordinary employees first, but because they had President Mann's experience in running for the office, in the future they will naturally have one more channel for promotion than others.

However, Qi Leran, who had been a trainee assistant in the presidential campaign office for several months, did not enter the national government department as logically as those assistants, because he knew that in the near future, there was a position that only he was qualified for. he.

And this period of time is just the time for him to defend his graduation thesis and go through graduation procedures. After this period of experience, Qi Leran, who is completely different from a few months ago, has a deeper understanding of law and politics and self-knowledge. Not only was he able to face the questions raised by the teacher in his defense easily and calmly, but he also expressed a completely different cognition from those naive theories of the school students, which surprised the teachers and gave him admiration.

Qi Leran, who was busy with graduation matters at school, inadvertently listened to the discussions of his classmates, and found out that Davis had already left the Sterman Anderson Law Firm, wasting this extremely rare spot, and let those who lost the competition with him The classmates were very angry.

Qi leran didn't expect that he would give up such a rare opportunity even though he had helped him gain a firm foothold in the law firm.

But people have their own ambitions, and they can't force it after all. Just like people who don't know Qi leran's situation, they also regret that he didn't seize the opportunity and gave up the great opportunity to enter the national government department through the election office.

Time passed in such a busy way, and when Sterman was sworn in and officially entered the office of the president, based on the initial formation of the new government department under his leadership, it was already mid-February, which happened to be the New Year's time in country Z.

Standing in front of the large windows of the dark presidential office with no lights on, Sturman looked at the quiet square outside the government building under the night, with a genuine smile on his lips.

He lowered his head and dialed the phone in his hand. After a while, when the familiar Chinese came from the phone, Sterman said softly to the phone, "Uncle, I really did it..."

After half a ring, Dad Qi's slightly choked up voice came from the phone, with some unbelievable voice, "Good boy, you really did it..."

With a bang, a cluster of gorgeous fireworks exploded over the square in the distance outside the government building, suddenly illuminating the stack of documents placed in the center of Sterman's desk. "Proposal" appeared in big black characters.

At the same time, a bright firework exploded in front of Dad Qi who was standing in the hall, illuminating his handsome face with a smile on his mouth but tears in his eyes.

The two held the phone like this, silently sharing the joy of success, until after a long time, Qi's father whispered in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, Kevin, I will leave Xiaoran to you in the future Already!"

Sterman nodded heavily in the dark, looked up at the gorgeous fireworks exploding in the sky one after another in the distance, and silently hung up the phone.

Others only see the glory you are about to enjoy, but I only care about the criticism you are about to bear!But if this is the ordeal we have to bear together, then I will never allow you to back down!

The fireworks outside the window to celebrate the new president's inauguration were still blooming, and Sterman stood alone in the dark and quietly savored the coming wind and rain.

The initial research work and preliminary polls on the legalization of same-sex marriage proposal, probably thanks to the previous incident of the same-sex scandal by Sterman, have gone incredibly smoothly. It is almost only a matter of time before the bill is passed, so the next step...

"Boom, boom, boom..." The knock on the office door awakened Sterman who was in deep thought, and Rena pushed the door open and walked in.

Since Sterman took office as president, the secretary's office has also expanded several times according to the regulations. The current presidential secretary's office is headed by Rena, and there are eight secretaries performing their duties, so if there is no major or personal matter , Rui Na generally no longer come to his office in person.

Therefore, Sterman, who saw Rena coming in at this time, couldn't help but frowned slightly, but before he could ask, Rena had already turned around and closed the door, walked a few steps to him, and said in a low voice To "Qi Leran's cousin, something happened to Qi Haoxuan!"
