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

Qin Ce suddenly stopped and turned to look at her.

After staring at Qiao Xing for several seconds, he said uncertainly, "What did you say?"

Qiao Xing gritted her teeth. She turned her head away, not daring to look into Qin Ce's eyes. "I said we..."

"Qiao Xing." Qin Ce interrupted her without letting her finish the rest of her sentence.

He grabbed Qiao Xing's hand and asked in a deep voice, "Why?"

Hearing his tone, Qiao Xing couldn't help but shudder. She didn't know whether it was because of the cold weather or because his tone was too cold.

She lowered her head and was silent for a while before saying, "I don't want to burden you anymore."

"What is drag?" Qin Ce's tone was quite calm, but his suppressed emotions could vaguely be heard.

He said: "Just this little thing, you feel like it's dragging me down. In your eyes, am I so useless? Can't you even bear this little thing?"

"I..." When Qiao Xing heard this, her heart was so blocked that she opened her mouth and fell silent again.

Qin Ce stared at her intently, waiting for her answer.

Qiao Xing took a deep breath of cold air, and the coolness in the air filled her heart.

She finally plucked up the courage to say, "I just think you are too good. You should find a better wife, not... someone like me who has failed in life."

Before this, Qiao Xing felt that life was full of hope and the future was promising.

But after getting married, she realized that many things were not as simple as she imagined.

All kinds of troubles, countless people and things, involving not just two people, but two families.

These trivial things keep coming to the door, and even the best couple will be dragged down.

What's more, they have no emotional basis.

Qin Ce looked at her with a complicated expression, "Why... do you think so?"

Qiao Xing raised his head and looked at Qin Ce. His eyes were deep, especially under the light of the hotel next to him, they seemed to shine like obsidian.

And she was hidden in the shadows, and everything around her was dim.

"But that's the fact, Qin Ce, I know that we just got married not long ago, so you may have some new feelings for me."

"You can tolerate everything around me now, but what if it takes a long time? One year, two years, maybe there will be more troubles, and sooner or later you will get tired of it."

At that time, there was only a fragmented place between them.

Qiao Xing looked into his eyes and continued: "You know, every time you help me, I feel like the second Lin Yu."

"I feel very despicable because I wanted to buy a house, so I lied to you. As a result, I didn't buy the house. Instead, I made things messy and kept you involved."

"I...I'm not a good person. I can't handle my own affairs well. How can I live a good life for two people."

Qin Ce listened to her quietly and sighed. He squeezed Qiao Xing's hand and pulled her into his arms.

"Didn't the old man tell you? Husband and wife should support each other. If you shrink back when encountering a small problem, that is the real blasphemy of marriage."

Qiao Xing pressed against his chest and heard his strong heartbeat.

This was the first time she felt his embrace, which was particularly warm, as if even the cold air around her was isolated.

Qiao Xing shook his head, "What I see is that you have been helping me, and I have not played any role in you."

"That's what I should do. Whether it works for me or not is not up to you. You cook, wash clothes, take care of me, and go to work with me every day. To me, that is the greatest help. "

"As for the rest, I can handle it myself. What help do I need from you?"

"Qin Ce..."

Qiao Xing wanted to say more, but Qin Ce interrupted her, "Don't try to convince me. I said, your things are nothing to me."

"If you insist on divorcing me, it will only make me feel incompetent. Qiao Xing, do you think I am incompetent?"

After he finished speaking, he looked down at her.

Qiao Xing raised her head and met his deep eyes. She opened her mouth and was speechless for a moment.

She hesitated for a long time before saying, "How can you be incompetent? You are too good. I..."

Not good enough for you.

"I am excellent, does this mean I am excellent to you? I haven't done anything yet, and you are so easily satisfied?"

For a moment just now, Qin Ce almost told her everything.

But seeing Qiao Xing's eyes showing inferiority and guilt, he swallowed it back silently.

If he really said it, she would be so scared that she would run away from him eight thousand miles overnight.

"You've done a lot."

"That's what you think. I think it's not enough. Qiao Xing, I've said it before, don't always think about me. I don't need you to think about me."

He paused and said word by word: "You should think about it for us."

Qiao Xing was slightly startled.

Qin Ce said: "After such a long time, you don't feel like a married couple, nor like a family, but more like two separated individuals, more like two roommates."

He looked deeply at Qiao Xing, "You are too polite to me, so polite that I feel like we are not even friends."

Qiao Xing was speechless by him, but if he thought about it carefully, wasn't getting married just a deal in the first place?

"When you received the certificate, didn't you say..."

Qin Ce didn't want to mention what happened before, so he interrupted her again, "Don't mention what happened in the past."

Qiao Xing silently stopped talking.

When she realized that she was still in his arms, she hurriedly broke away from him and took a step back, her expression a little unnatural.

"sorry."

Qin Ce's face, which had just softened, quickly darkened when he heard these three words, "You still want a divorce?"

Qiao Xing lowered his head and stared at his toes, "I thought you were gay before, so I didn't take many things to heart."

"Now I know you are not. You have a bright future. I can't keep up with you..."

Qiao Xing now thinks that in the future he will meet a better woman who is more suitable for him, but she is still stuck in the same place, only cooking the same few repetitive dishes, and turning into a yellow-faced woman like most women.

He looked at the beautiful young women outside and faced his tired dishes when he came home. She felt disgusted with each other, so she felt that it would be better to separate early.

Thinking about days like this makes me feel suffocated.

Qin Ce became angry at what she said, even though he knew that she had such a low self-esteem, sensitive and unloving personality due to family reasons.

But he couldn't help but feel his blood surge.

He grabbed Qiao Xing's hand and said, "Go back first, and I'll tell you when I get back."

Without waiting for Qiao Xing's reaction, he pulled her towards the car.

He walked fast, and Qiao Xing staggered behind him and almost fell.

"Qin Ce."

"Get up!" Qin Ce forcefully stuffed her in, grabbed the seat belt and locked her in the seat.

Qiao Xing could see that he was angry, and quickly grabbed the arm that was wearing the seat belt, "Qin Ce, calm down first, let's..."

Before she could finish speaking, Qin Ce suddenly raised his head, pinched her chin, and blocked her lips.
