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

Qiao Xing was stunned. She had been talking here for a long time, but Xue Ling didn't hear a word.

She suddenly collapsed. If it were her daughter, she would probably be angry to death.

Qiao Xing suddenly understood why Joey decisively moved abroad. This girl is so screwed!

Xue Ling grabbed Qiao Xing's hand and explained urgently: "Sister-in-law, don't hate me. I will try my best to restrain myself."

"Well..." Qiao Xing didn't know what to say anymore, so he simply stopped saying, "Let's go, I'll take you to a nearby park. This weekend, there are many students playing basketball there, and they look pretty good. handsome."

Qiao Xing felt that the best way to cure Xue Ling's disease was to let her empathize and transfer her feelings to someone else.

There is a saying that the best way to treat a broken love is to enter the next relationship.

Xue Ling followed her around in boredom. There was indeed a handsome guy on the basketball court, but Xue Ling didn't even look at him.

So Qiao Xing took her to some shopping mall, a milk tea shop, and spent the whole afternoon shopping.

In the evening, Qin Ce drove to pick them up.

Due to Xue Ling's presence, the two could only communicate with their eyes.

Qiao Xing also seemed to be able to understand what he was going to say. She shook her head helplessly, saying that she couldn't persuade him.

Xue Ling still held a cup of milk tea in her hand. She took a few sips and never touched it again.

Qiao Xing felt a little melancholy when he saw her like this.

But think about it, it's like coming all the way just to see your sweetheart, but they ended up not having a happy relationship.

How painful will it be when all these years of longing and persistence are broken?

Xue Ling is young and her ability to withstand stress is not that strong. It is impossible to say that she is not worried.

Joey originally planned to leave after the Chinese New Year, but seeing Xue Ling's current situation, she could only temporarily decide to stay for a week.

So the mother and daughter stayed at Qin Ce's house temporarily this week.

After Qiao Xing came back, Joey took out all the gifts he brought.

Seeing something on the sofa, Qiao Xing looked flattered.

"Come on, Xingxing, this is yours, the beautiful clothes I bought for you, and this, these are cosmetics, this skin care products, they are all genuine."

Qiao Xing hugged a bunch of things and thanked her repeatedly, "Auntie, there are too many. You can keep the rest for yourself."

Joey looked at the gift box in his hand and put it in Qiao Xing's arms. "Auntie's house has many of them. Take this. This is jewelry. You can choose the style you like to wear."

"Thank you auntie."

"Forget it, I won't give it to you." Joey pretended to be angry and took back the next gift, staring at her unhappily, "You still call me aunt."

"I……"

Joey saw that she was suppressing her blush and couldn't shout out the word, so he sighed again, "Forget it, I'll give it to you, I owe you, just give me a gift, and I'll make up for it next time."

Qiao Xing couldn't hold any more in her hands, and the rest were piled on the coffee table.

The sofa was empty, but Qin Ce's gift was not seen. Qiao Xing subconsciously glanced at the man sitting next to him.

He was very calm and just watched the two of them share the gifts quietly.

Joey smiled and said, "Baby, do you want a gift?"

Qin Ce propped his head and looked at her calmly, "No need."

"You see you clearly want it, but you say you don't want it. Cece, you can't do this."

Qin Ce's eyelids twitched slightly, he didn't really want it.

Joey took out a box from behind and threw it into his arms, "Take it, lest you say Mommy is partial."

Qin Ce lowered his head to pick up the box, opened it and took a look. It was a watch, "It's for a lady."

Joey blinked and then laughed, "I'm sorry, Cece, I was in a hurry, so I just picked up a gift at home. I didn't expect to get the lady's gift, otherwise you can give it a star."

Qin Ce twitched his lips and put the box on the table.

"It's getting late, you should go to bed early."

After he finished speaking, he got up and went to the study.

Joey shrugged helplessly and looked at Qiao Xing, "What should I do, Xing Xing? Can you help auntie coax her?"

Qiao Xing hesitated and said, "He's not angry, is he?"

"Listen to me, he's just angry. Please help me calm him down, please."

"...Okay." Qiao Xing felt that Qin Ce was not that stingy, but Joey's pleading expression made her unable to refuse.

"Thank you. Hey, I have to coax Xue Ling again. This mother is really tired!"

Joey took two steps, turned back and smiled at Qiao Xing, "Good night Xing Xing."

Qiao Xing also smiled and said, "Good night, aunt."

She watched Joey enter Xue Ling's room, then stood up and took a shower. When she came out, she glanced at the study.

The light in the study was still on. After thinking about it, she walked over and knocked on the door.

Qin Ce looked up at her and closed the computer page without leaving a trace, "What's wrong?"

Qiao Xing walked to him, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Well, auntie said you were angry and asked me to comfort you."

Qin Ce was silent for a few seconds after hearing this, and then asked her, "Do I look angry?"

"I do not know."

Qiao Xing was not sure either. He rarely showed his emotions to the surface. Not to mention that he couldn't tell when he was angry. Even Qiao Xing couldn't tell when he was happy.

Qin Ce did not dwell on this issue, "Then how are you going to coax me?"

This question stopped Qiao Xing. She stared at Qin Ce for a while, shook her head and said, "I don't know."

A smile flashed across the corner of Qin Ce's mouth, and it disappeared in a flash, "How about I give you a suggestion."

"Well, you said."

"Do something meaningful."

Qiao Xing nodded seriously, "Okay, anything intentional?"

"For example, the unfinished business this morning."

Qiao Xing was still seriously thinking about what suggestions he would make. She didn't know if she could do it. When he said this so suddenly, she couldn't wrap her mind around it.

Her mind was idle for several seconds, and she suddenly remembered what she had not finished in the morning.

Her eyes suddenly widened, her face burned, and she didn't know where to put her hands and feet for a moment, so she could only hold on to her pajamas.

Qin Ce grabbed her arm and pulled her over. Qiao Xing was unsteady on her feet and sat directly on his lap.

The breath of his body penetrated into the nostrils, and it still had the faint fragrance, although it was just the smell of laundry detergent.

But Qiao Xing bought the laundry detergent himself and washed it for him personally. For a moment, Qiao Xing felt as if his body was covered with his own scent.

He lowered his head, and the two of them were very close. This was the most intimate interaction between the two since they got married.

Qiao Xing's heart nearly jumped out of her chest, and her fingers holding the corners of her clothes turned white.

He moved closer to her, and their lips were less than two centimeters apart.

"Is it okay?" Qin Ce asked, his voice was low and sexy. At such a close distance, Qiao Xing stiffened when he heard it.

Qiao Xing pursed her lips tightly, her face getting redder and redder. She didn't dare to look into the man's eyes and just nodded stiffly.

But Qin Ce didn't move and heard him say again: "Aren't you trying to coax me?"
