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

Qin Ce couldn't help but look at her twice and held her hand: "Okay, let's eat first."

Qiao Xing nodded, she sighed, shook those messy thoughts out of her mind, and went to eat with him.

Although he was good at cooking, Qiao Xing had no appetite, especially when he thought of Wang Qin, he felt even more confused.

Qin Ce wanted to go to the hospital in the afternoon, but Qiao Xing stopped him and told him to have a good rest at home while she went to the hospital to take a look.

Seeing the concern in her eyes, Qin Ce stopped arguing with her and could only let her go.

When Qiao Xing went to the hospital, he worked in the study.

Around one o'clock, Wang Qin arrived downstairs in the community. She couldn't get in because she didn't have an access card, so she called Qiao Xing.

Qiao Xing was still in the hospital at the moment. She couldn't make it back, so she had to ask Qin Ce to pick her up.

Xue Ling looked much better today, but she still looked groggy, depressed, and seemed to have no energy.

Joey had not slept much for two days because of her. He was busy taking her for examinations, getting her medicine and buying food.

When Qiao Xing saw Joey's busy look, he felt a little sorry, but he didn't know what Xue Ling was thinking.

She came to sit next to Xue Ling and asked, "Are you feeling better today?"

Xue Ling leaned on the head of the bed, her pair of light blue eyes that should have been beautiful, but seemed a bit hollow at the moment. She stared at a certain place in the room in a daze.

After hearing Qiao Xing's words, he turned his head to look at her and said feebly: "Much better."

"Then when did the doctor say I can be discharged?"

Xue Ling looked away absentmindedly, "I don't know, I might have to stay for a few days."

Qiao Xing took her hand and said hesitantly: "Xue Ling, I know you can't listen to what I say now, but I still want to say, don't let everyone worry about you anymore."

Xue Ling moved her lips, but said nothing.

Qiao Xing said: "Look at auntie, she is so old and has gone through so much trouble for you in the past two days. Don't you feel bad?"

Xue Ling's face fell again, looking like she was about to cry.

Qiao Xing didn't dare to speak anymore for fear that she would cry.

Joey took the order from the doctor, came back and told Xueling, "Stay for another three days for observation and then you can be discharged."

As she spoke, she walked to Xue Ling and asked softly, "Are you feeling suffocated?"

Xue Ling looked up at Joey, her lips curled up, and she started crying.

Seeing this, Joey immediately dropped what he was holding, sat down next to her, hugged her, and patted Xue Ling on the shoulder, "Okay, okay, what's going on?"

"I'm sorry, Mom, I was too impulsive and made you worry."

When Joey heard this, he paused and his eyes suddenly became moist.

She looked up at the ceiling, held back the tears in her eyes, and said with a forced smile: "Silly boy, don't do such dangerous things again in the future. Not only is your mother worried, but your brother and your sister are also worried."

"Your father, how sad would he be if he knew about it? No matter how sad or sad, don't vent it in such a way that hurts yourself and your loved ones, okay?"

Xue Ling nodded vigorously, threw herself into Joey's arms, and burst into tears.

Qiao Xing saw this and walked out wisely.

She stood outside for almost half an hour before Joey came out with red eyes. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, squeezed out a smile and said to Qiao Xing: "Xingxing, you don't have to worry about here. Go back and do what you need to do." do what."

"I'm enough here."

Qiao Xing looked at her haggard appearance and the white hair growing on her temples, feeling secretly frightened.

I still remember that a few days ago, Joey was not like this.

It was only after seeing Joey's gray hair that Qiao Xing suddenly realized that she was old.

She turns out to be so old.

Qiao Xing pursed her lips and said, "Auntie, you haven't rested for two days. Just let me watch while you go back and rest."

But Joey stubbornly shook his head: "No, there is a sofa here, I can sleep, you don't have to worry."

"Aunt……"

Qiao Xing wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Joey, "Xing Xing, I have to watch her, otherwise I won't worry."

Qiao Xing fell silent and swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

"OK then."

Joey smiled and said: "Okay, go back quickly, because of this girl, you probably haven't slept in the past two days, right?"

"You are still young, so you can't stay up late and have a good rest, otherwise you will age quickly."

Qiao Xing twitched the corner of his mouth. Although he knew she was trying to scare her, he still felt warm in his heart.

Qiao Xing nodded: "Well, I'll leave first and come back later."

Joey was helpless, knowing that he could not be persuaded, so he could only agree, "Go ahead, go ahead."

Qiao Xing was also worried about Lin Xi, so she took a taxi back directly.

At this moment, Qin Ce had already picked up Lin Xi. The little girl was introverted and shy.

When Qin Ce first picked her up, he originally led her upstairs, but when he entered the elevator, he found that she had not followed.

When I went out, I saw her lingering at the elevator door.

Qin Ce came out to pick her up again. After walking a few steps, he turned back and saw that she was far behind.

It's not that she can't keep up, but she's keeping her distance from him.

Qin Ce frowned and walked to Lin Xi. She took two steps back uncontrollably.

He probably understood that this girl had such a heavy psychological shadow on her father that she was particularly wary of men.

Especially Qin Ce, who is tall and looks so serious.

Her nervous hands were at a loss, her fingers tangled tightly together, her head lowered, and she did not dare to look at Qin Ce.

Qin Ce didn't know how to communicate with her. He stared at her for a while and then said, "Lin Xi."

Lin Xi was stunned and subconsciously looked up at him, but she was stunted and short, and her body was only a little lower than Qin Ce's chest.

She raised her neck and looked at Qin Ce as if looking at a big mountain, her face even more nervous.

Qin Ce coughed and tried to make his voice less harsh, "Don't be afraid."

Lin Xi lowered his head and did not answer him.

"Let's go up first. Your sister will be back in a moment."

She still didn't say anything, and he didn't know if she heard him. Qin Ce turned around and walked into the elevator. Looking back, he saw that she had followed him, but he didn't enter the elevator.

Qin Ce suddenly had a headache.

"Come in."

His tone was not as good as before. Lin Xi was stunned for a moment and walked in silently.

When Qin Ce closed the elevator, she walked to the corner and stood opposite Qin Ce. This was the farthest distance.

Qin Ce didn't pay attention to her, as long as he made sure she didn't get lost.

After going up, he led Lin Xi into the house.

He asked her to sit wherever she wanted, then went into the study, leaving Lin Xi alone in the living room.

When Qiao Xing came back, he saw Lin Xi standing in the middle of the room, looking at a loss.

When Lin Xi heard the sound of the door opening, she turned to look at her.
