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

Qin Ce was filled with doubts. He began to wonder what happened to her when he was away in the afternoon.

But he didn't ask either.

After returning, Qiao Xing took the food and quickly hid in the kitchen.

The old man saw her unnaturalness at a glance, and looked at Qin Ce strangely.

Even though I really didn’t want to talk to this bastard, I couldn’t help but asked out of curiosity, “What movie did you watch?”

The old man suspected that he had taken Qiao Xing to watch some inappropriate movie.

"I don't know what movie it is." Qin Ce answered him honestly.

The old man thought that he was speaking angrily on purpose, and his face fell instantly. "If you don't say it, I'm going to pull you off. I really thought I didn't want to listen."

Qin Ce said helplessly: "I really don't know what kind of movie that is."

He said it sincerely, and the old man frowned, "Is this a serious movie?"

Qin Ce was also stunned for a moment, "Are there any inappropriate movies in the cinema?"

This conversation is a bit strange.

"That's right." The old man looked back with a smile, and in order to cover up his embarrassment, he went to play with the parrot on the balcony.

When Qiao Xing finished cooking the food and put it on the table, the three of them sat at the same table.

The old man glanced at Qiao Xing and asked kindly: "Xingxing, are you worried about anything today?"

Qiao Xing came to his senses and hesitated, "No, what's wrong, grandpa?"

The old man picked up the water next to him and took a big sip, "Well...it's nothing, it's just that this dish is a bit salty."

Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment, then took a piece of cucumber and tasted it.

"..."

"I'm sorry, I may have added too much salt. I'll make it again." As soon as Qiao Xing stood up, he suddenly remembered that he had bought a day's worth of vegetables today.

But this dish is really inedible. One bite contains nothing but salt, and it can kill you quickly.

She must have been in a daze when she was putting the salt in, and she poured too much without paying attention.

Qin Ce took her arm and said, "No need to bother, just order takeout."

Qiao Xing looked down at the hand holding her, and her whole body became stiff.

She nodded calmly, "Okay, okay, I'll put these away."

Qiao Xing broke away from his hand and hurriedly carried all the food on the table into the kitchen.

The old man couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked again: "What's wrong with you two?"

Qin Ce twitched the corner of his mouth, "I don't know."

"I don't know, I don't know, what else do you know? I will be pissed off by you sooner or later!"

Qin Ce glanced at the old man faintly.

The point is, he really doesn't know.

Qin Ce was too lazy to talk to the old man. He took out his mobile phone and ordered a few takeaways. Anyway, they were all the home-cooked dishes that Qiao Xing usually likes to make.

While waiting for the takeout, Qiao Xing came out and the old man stopped her.

"Xingxing, grandpa will go back to live tomorrow."

Qiao Xing glanced at Qin Ce subconsciously, "What's wrong? Is it the food I cooked..."

The old man waved his hand to interrupt her, "No, I didn't plan to live here for a long time. This is your wedding room, so I still need to leave some private space for you two."

When Qiao Xing heard about the wedding room, she thought of something uncontrollably, and the redness that had just receded on her face crept up again.

"The other thing is, I'm afraid if I continue to stay here, sooner or later someone will piss me off."

Qiao Xing glanced at Qin Ce again.

Qin Ce was also baffled.

"Grandpa, don't be angry." Qiao Xing still advised him. It was inconvenient for him to be alone.

"Grandpa is not angry, he just wants to go back to live. I don't know anyone here, and I'm not used to being bored in the house all day. From now on, my grandpa will miss you, so he will come over to visit you from time to time and stay for a few days."

"Or if you miss grandpa, you can come and see him. It's not far anyway."

Qiao Xing saw that he was firm and didn't look like he was angry, so he stopped forcing him to stay.

"Well, grandpa, you can come over anytime you want. You know the password anyway."

The old man nodded, "Okay."

It happened that the takeout had arrived. The community had access control and the takeaway guy couldn't come up. Qin Ce stood up and went downstairs to get the takeout.

After he left, the old man waved to Qiao Xing, "Xingxing, come here, grandpa wants to say a few words to you."

Qiao Xing quickly sat over and said, "Grandpa, tell me."

The old man mused: "Xingxing, Xiaoce is a little inexperienced in relationships, but he is still a very good person. Grandpa will not harm you if you are with him."

Qiao Xing nodded, "I know."

"Well, you have been together for such a long time, and you should have some understanding of his character. You two need to live a good life. If you are not familiar with it, you can learn it. As time goes by, he will understand everything."

Qiao Xing's face looked a little unnatural again, and she hummed guiltily, "Okay."

The old man thought she was minding that Qin Ce liked men, so he said earnestly, "Xingxing, Xiao Ce... is a normal man. Do you believe grandpa?"

Qiao Xing's face became a little tense. Yang Han had already told her about this in the afternoon, and now the old man told her again.

By coincidence, she almost thought they had discussed it.

The old man said: "Grandpa will not harm you. You have known grandpa for so long. Does grandpa seem to be the kind of unscrupulous person?"

Qiao Xing was stunned, and she quickly shook her head, "Grandpa, I believe you, please don't say that."

"Just believe it. I saw this kid being so indifferent to you before, so I couldn't bear to come and have a look."

"But I'm not worried now. Anyway, grandpa has done everything he should do. The rest is up to you to adjust."

Qiao Xing didn't know what to say.

At this moment, Qin Ce brought the takeout, and both of them automatically ended the topic.

After the meal, the old man went back to the house by himself. He did this every night. He went back to the house after the meal without disturbing the two of them.

Qiao Xing finished clearing the dining table and put the garbage into bags.

Qin Ce took the garbage bag in her hand and said, "I'll throw it away."

Qiao Xing didn't argue with him, and took the plates on the table to the kitchen to wash them. The grandfather and grandson were very particular about eating, and even if it was takeout, they would eat from the plate.

Qiao Xing washed the dishes twice tonight.

After she came out, she saw Qin Ce getting water from the refrigerator again, and she immediately ran over and grabbed his arm.

"and many more."

Qin Ce glanced at her, "What's wrong?"

He thought she wanted to drink, so he unscrewed the bottle cap and handed it to her.

Qiao Xing shook his head, "I won't drink it, and you shouldn't drink it either. Just drink boiled water."

Qin Ce stared at her and said nothing for a long time.

Qiao Xing took the water from his hand, screwed the cap on the bottle, put it back, and closed the refrigerator.I went to the kitchen to get a cup, took a cup of warm water and handed it to him.

Qin Ce looked at her suspiciously and took the water glass from her hand, "What's wrong with you?"

Qiao Xing felt guilty and didn't dare to look at his face, "Drinking ice water at night is not good for your health, and it's still such a cold day. Since you're back home, just follow the local customs."

Qin Ce was skeptical, but he still gave her a sip of water from the glass, "Okay."

Qiao Xing felt a little embarrassed when he stared at her. She scratched her neck and said, "I'm going to take a shower."

After saying that, she ran into the bedroom, picked up her pajamas, and went to the bathroom.

When Qiao Xing came out, she suddenly heard the sound of a lighter. She followed the sound and saw Qin Ce lighting up a cigarette on the balcony.

She ran over again, and before Qin Ce could put the cigarette into his mouth, Qiao Xing grabbed his arm and stared at him nervously, "You, stop smoking."
