After the betrothal gift negotiation collapsed, I turned around and married a wealthy man.

Qiao Xing stood up and walked over there.

When she got closer, she confirmed that the man was Tao Yang, and sitting opposite him was a woman who looked quite beautiful.

Qiao Xing originally wanted to go up and say hello, but when she heard the two of them chatting, she didn't feel comfortable going over to disturb them.

When she heard Tao Yang address the woman sitting opposite him as "Ms. Zhou," Qiao Xing suddenly became curious about the woman's identity.

She found a place to sit down, trying not to be noticed by Tao Yang, and listened to the conversation between Tao Yang and the woman.

Tao Yang seemed very nervous when talking to her.

And Qiao Xing also heard that Tao Yang seemed to be talking to her about some work matters.

But whenever Tao Yang mentioned work, the woman he called Ms. Zhou would always deliberately change the subject and talk to Tao Yang about other things.

Qiao Xing could clearly see that Tao Yang was very nervous and embarrassed. He even took out a tissue and wiped his sweat from time to time.

Qiao Xing was curious in her heart and wondered who this Mr. Zhou was. How could he make Tao Yang so nervous that he didn't even dare to look up at her?

The two didn't talk for long. Mr. Zhou seemed to be in a hurry. He raised his wrist to check the time and left a message for Tao Yang before leaving.

"What I just said is from the bottom of my heart. I hope you can think about it more."

Then, without waiting for Tao Yang to reply, she left.

Tao Yang opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but swallowed his words back.

He sat in his seat blankly, feeling a little helpless.

When Qiao Xing saw that the woman had left, she stood up, quietly walked behind Tao Yang and patted his shoulder.

"Tao Yang, long time no see!"

Tao Yang was thinking about something when Qiao Xing suddenly appeared, scaring him so much that he almost jumped up from his chair.

The quintessence of Chinese culture in his mouth was swallowed back the moment he saw Qiao Xing.

"It's you! You scared me!" Tao Yang paused and asked Qiao Xing in surprise, "When did you return to Yucheng? Why didn't you tell us?"

Qiao Xing said, "I just came back yesterday, and I wanted to go directly to the company to see you, so I didn't tell you."

"Oh." Tao Yang nodded, but looked a little absent-minded.

Qiao Xing thought he was probably thinking about what happened just now. She sat opposite Tao Yang and asked him curiously.

"Who was that person just now? Is he your friend?"

"Did you see her just now?"

Qiao Xing nodded. "I heard you call her Ms. Zhou. Why haven't I seen her before?"

When Tao Yang mentioned this person, he felt unwell. His expression wrinkled and he said, "I don't know how to explain this to you. It's hard to explain in a few words."

The more he said this, the more curious Qiao Xing became.

"Why is it so hard to put it into words? Aren't you two friends?"

Tao Yang said, "We're friends, I guess. She's the boss of a gaming company. Because our game became popular, she's always wanted to work with us."

Qiao Xing said, "Isn't that good? Why do you look like that?"

Tao Yang wiped his face and said, "Don't ask me anymore. I really don't know how to tell you about this!"

"Okay, okay, then I won't ask anymore." Qiao Xing changed the subject, "So how is the company doing recently? Is everything okay?"

Tao Yang said, "Everything is fine. There haven't been any major problems with the game recently. Everything is running normally."

"We are currently busy with updating the version, optimizing, and designing card plots."

When Tao Yang talked about these things, Qiao Xing's desire to work was aroused again.

But given her current situation, even if she were asked to go to work, she would still feel uneasy.

She also knew that these things were handled by Tao Yang and Sun Miao, and they must be very tiring and busy.

Qiao Xing couldn't help at all now, so she could only say to Tao Yang, "You know my current situation. Even if I want to help, I am powerless. But after I give birth to the baby, I will come back to the company as soon as possible to help you."

Tao Yang expressed his understanding, "Don't think about these things now, just rest at home and think about these things after the baby is born."

The two chatted for a while, and Tao Yang suddenly asked about Shen Boyan, "Where is Boyan, how is he doing in the capital?"

Qiao Xing asked him, "Hasn't he contacted you guys?"

Tao Yang shook his head and said, "He hasn't called us since he went to Beijing, except for the few days after the game was launched. I called him and later wanted to ask him how he was doing over there, but he seemed to have changed his phone number, and the previous number couldn't be reached."

Qiao Xing thought about what happened before and felt that Shen Boyan might have acted like this because of the Shen family's affairs, so he always felt that there was no need for him to contact Tao Yang and the others.

But after all, they have been brothers for many years and have been through thick and thin together. Qiao Xing felt that Shen Boyan would not be so heartless.

She said to Tao Yang, "Don't worry. Something big happened in his family some time ago. He may just not want you to worry. He will contact you later."

Tao Yang was also very open-minded. "I know. Anyway, I promised him that I would run Big Bad Wolf well. No matter when he wants to come back, Big Bad Wolf will be his."

It is precisely because Tao Yang understands Shen Boyan, and he has always regarded Shen Boyan as his own brother, so he knows that Shen Boyan does not really want to cut off contact with them.

Just like Qiao Xing said, it might be because he encountered some problems, and after everything was resolved, he believed in Shen Boyan and was willing to go back to the Big Bad Wolf to take a look.

After Qiao Xing chatted with Tao Yang for a few words, Tao Yang left first because he had other things to do at the company.

Qiao Xing then remembered that he had been busy chatting with Tao Yang and had left Qin Ce aside.

When Qiao Xing went over, the dishes were already served. Qiao Xing said embarrassedly, "You must be waiting anxiously. I was just chatting with my colleagues about company matters and almost forgot about you."

Qin Ce did not blame Qiao Xing, but asked, "Did something happen in the company?"

Qiao Xing said, "No, we just talked about the company's recent events and the game we launched before. Tao Yang said that the game was operating well and at least it didn't make the company lose money."

"That's good." Qin Ce nodded.

Fortunately, the game can make money, otherwise it would be a shame for Qiao Xing to run to the company every day with a big belly and put in all the hard work.

But sometimes, Qin Ce really admires this group of people.
