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

Qin Ce turned around and found that she had not woken up, but she didn't know when she caught him.

Unexplained emotions flashed in his eyes, he stretched out his hand, took Qiao Xing's hand in his palm, and sat down on the bedside.

The other hand fell on her cheek, and she sighed vaguely.

Things had evolved from a farce at the beginning to a point where things were getting more and more out of his control. This was something he didn't expect.

Especially when she asked so cautiously just now if he hated her, Qin Ce felt that he would never be able to tell the truth.

He couldn't imagine the consequences if Qiao Xing found out.

Qiao Xing slept so hard that when he opened his eyes, the room was completely dark.

She rubbed her eyes, still a little confused about the time, picked up her phone and looked at it, and found that it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon.

Qiao Xing lost all sleep in an instant and sat up.

Looking around, where is the shadow of Qin Ce?

She threw off the quilt and got out of bed and ran out of the bedroom quickly. The empty room made her heart seem empty.

People can endure loneliness as long as they have never experienced the excitement and hustle and bustle.

Qiao Xing lowered his head and sighed.

But the next second, she heard movement from the kitchen, and Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment.

The heart that had been silent suddenly returned to the chest, beating violently.

She quickly ran to the kitchen, opened the door, and saw Qin Ce wearing a suit and cooking.

Qiao Xing breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.

When Qin Ce heard the door open, she turned around. When Qiao Xing saw the apron on his chest, she couldn't help but laugh.

This apron was given as a gift from the last supermarket purchase. It is still dark red and looks incompatible with his serious suit.

"It'll be ready soon, go out and wait."

"Oh." Qiao Xing withdrew and looked at the apron he was wearing before closing the door, biting his lip to prevent himself from laughing.

This guy was so serious that he didn't even turn on the light when he went to the kitchen to cook. She thought he was gone again.

Qiao Xing turned on the light, went to the bathroom to wash up, and then went back to the room to change her clothes. When she came out, Qin Ce just put the food on the table.

"You're making so many?" Qiao Xing looked at the dishes on the table in astonishment. There were all kinds of meat and seafood.

"Try it." Qin Ce picked up the chopsticks and gave her a piece of salt-baked shrimp and chicken wings.

The color looks okay, but I don’t know what it tastes like.

Qiao Xing put the chicken wings in her mouth and took a bite. They were Coke chicken wings. They were not much different from the ones she ate outside, except that they lacked the smell of gutter oil.

"How is it?" Qin Ce stared at her intently, as if waiting for her comment.

Qiao Xing nodded vigorously, took another bite of chicken wings, and said vaguely: "It's delicious!"

As she said that, she freed up her hand to give Qin Ce a thumbs up, "You are so awesome."

You must know that it has only been a few days since the last time he made beets, and now his skills have become so good!

An imperceptible smile flashed in Qin Ce's eyes, and he gave Qiao Xing two more dishes, pickled fish and braised eggplant.

Qiao Xing was so moved that he almost shed tears. Joey said a miracle would happen, and indeed a miracle happened.

So she praised Qin Ce even harder, "It's so delicious. I can't even cook such delicious dishes. You are so awesome. You must be a genius!"

Qin Ce looked at her calmly, obviously he was very impressed by Qiao Xing's praise, so he said, "Then I will do it for you."

Qiao Xing paused for a moment and almost swallowed the chicken in his mouth.

She suddenly felt a little embarrassed, as if she was trying to trick him. He was so busy at work and still had to come back to cook for her...

Then what became of her.

Qiao Xing was silent for a while, and then said: "No... no need, just make two meals occasionally."

Qin Ce didn't answer this and kept adding vegetables to her bowl. "Okay, let's eat quickly. We'll go to the hospital later."

Only then did Qiao Xing remember that Xue Ling was still in the hospital, and the two of them had agreed to visit Xue Ling.

She stopped going around in circles with Qin Ce and ate her meal quickly.

I took the initiative to put away the dishes and wash the dishes, then went back to the house to get my coat, and drove to the hospital.

Qiao Xing looked at the decoration inside the car and couldn't help but ask: "Qin Ce, your car belongs to the company. Does the company allow you to drive it out like this every day?"

"Let me have the final say on the company's cars."

"So awesome." Qiao Xing clicked his tongue, but it was right to think about it. Weisheng's vehicles are managed by dedicated personnel from the administration department, and the vehicles must be registered.

But if you have a high-level position, like Mr. Liao and his assistants, you can just register your car and drive away without writing anything down.

After all, the immediate boss of the administrative department is also the boss's assistant.

"What about your car? When can you get it back?"

"I don't know." Qin Ce focused on driving and said casually: "It's the same with this one."

Qiao Xing nodded and stopped talking. It seemed that since he was stopped by security when he went to the movies last time, he rarely rode that electric bike.

Now I have two electric cars at home, both parked in the underground parking lot, and I feel like my money was wasted.

Soon, the two came to the hospital.

Joey stayed up all night and stayed in front of the bed, his face visibly haggard.

Every time I saw her before, she was very delicate and looked like she was in her 30s. But now when I look at her, I can finally see traces of middle age on her face.

"Mom." Qin Ce shouted.

Joey looked up at the two of them. Under the light, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were very clear, and the nasolabial folds on both sides of the bridge of her nose were also revealed.

"You are here."

Qin Ce nodded and asked, "Is Xueling awake?"

Joey sighed: "I woke up once at noon, but fell asleep again."

"what did the doctor say?"

"It's not a big problem. It's just that the stomach may have been injured during gastric lavage, so it needs to be taken care of for a while."

"I didn't take her seriously."

Joey shook his head, "Sooner or later, you can watch it once, but you can't bear it twice. By the way, did Yang Han call you?"

"No."

Joey said: "His father called me in the afternoon and asked me to come over. I couldn't leave, so I didn't go. Let's see if you want to go?"

"Okay, I'll go there now."

When Qiao Xing heard that she was going to Yang Han's house, she subconsciously turned to look at Qin Ce.

Qin Ce turned to her and said, "Qiao Xing, please help take care of me here."

Qiao Xing nodded and agreed. Joey had not slept for so long, and he probably couldn't hold it anymore, so she happened to be here to guard him.

Qin Ce turned around and left the ward without delay.

Qiao Xing sat down on the stool next to him, took Joey's hand and said, "Auntie, you can go back and rest. I'll just watch here. I'll call you if anything happens."

Joey shook his head and refused, "It's okay, I'm not tired."

"How can you not be tired? You haven't rested since last night, right? You won't be able to withstand it if you don't rest. Otherwise, you..."

Qiao Xing was just about to say that he would sit on the other empty beds for a while, but after looking around, he realized that there was only a hospital bed in this room, and it also had a sofa.

She has been to the hospital many times and has never seen a ward like this.
