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

Qiao Xing thought for a while, but it seemed like nothing happened today, so he agreed, "Okay, just send me your address."

After hanging up the phone, the bedroom door opened again, and Qin Ce left and returned.

"I may not have time to cook at noon. Do you think I should order takeout or something?"

Qiao Xing felt a little sorry when she heard that he didn't have time to cook. She quickly said, "I'll do it. You go ahead and get busy!"

Qin Ce paused, nodded and said, "Okay."

After saying that, he thoughtfully helped Qiao Xing close the door.

Qiao Xing let out a long breath. She lifted the quilt and got out of bed to get dressed. However, when she got out of bed as usual, her legs weakened and she fell straight down.

She hurriedly held on to the edge of the bed to avoid kneeling down and kowtowing to the bed.

Qiao Xing lay on the bed and calmed down for a while. An unprecedented soreness ran through her body. She closed her eyes and couldn't help but think of the scenes from last night in her mind.

Thinking of Qin Ce’s face hanging above his head, his abdominal muscles, and the sweat on his body...

She opened her eyes suddenly, patted her hot cheek, and took several deep breaths to calm down.

After Qiao Xing changed her clothes, she weakly went to the bathroom to wash her face with cold water and brush her teeth.

When she came out, she saw that the study door was closed. She paused and consciously went to the sofa to play two games.

Now that Yang Han has a new teammate, he doesn't play with her anymore. Several times when he went online and saw him forming a team, he started the game the next second.

Qiao Xing pouted, it was better not to take her with him, so as not to be tortured with them.

After she lost two games, at exactly eleven o'clock, she went to the kitchen and saw that there were still vegetables in the refrigerator. She took out the vegetables and started making lunch.

The meal was just halfway through when someone rang the doorbell outside. Qiao Xing quickly put down the kitchen knife and ran to open the door.

When he opened the door, he found Lin Xi standing outside.

Qiao Xing was a little surprised. She looked behind Lin Xi but didn't see Wang Qin. "You came alone?"

Lin Xi nodded and looked at her nervously, probably because she was afraid that she would be kicked out by Qiao Xing if she came alone.

"Come in quickly." Qiao Xing pulled her in, closed the door and asked, "Aren't you in a cram school? Why are you here?"

"get out of class has ended."

Lin Xi's voice was still a little childish. To be honest, if no one said her age, no one would know that she was 15 years old.

"Did you come here?"

Lin Xi nodded.

Qiao Xing had never been to her cram school and didn't know how far it was. She pulled Lin Xi to sit on the sofa and asked, "Have you eaten? Or are you being bullied at school?"

Lin Xi shook his head: "No."

Qiao Xing said, "Then you sit here for a while, and I'll go cook first. You have to go to class in the afternoon, right?"

Lin Xi hummed, she raised her head and glanced at Qiao Xing, but hesitated to speak.

Qiao Xing didn't notice and turned around to the kitchen.

She prepared the food and put it on the table, invited Lin Xi to come over for dinner, and then went to the study and knocked on the door.

After waiting for about ten seconds, Qin Ce opened the study door and came out. Qiao Xing saw that he was wearing a bathrobe and quickly pushed him in.

"You change your clothes and come out to eat."

Qin Ce frowned in confusion, "What is the connection between changing clothes and eating?"

"Xiaoxi is here."

Qin Ce paused and went back to change his clothes honestly.

Qiao Xing ignored him and returned to the dining table to sit down. Seeing that Lin Xi was still carrying her schoolbag, she couldn't help but said, "Xiao Xi, it's time to eat. Please put down your schoolbag."

Her schoolbag was dirty, and Qiao Xing remembered that she had said that she would buy her a new schoolbag, but she had forgotten about it. It happened that she could buy her a new schoolbag when she went out soon.

Lin Xi took off her schoolbag and put it on the chair next to her. She looked at Qiao Xing with a complicated expression.

Qiao Xing was serving rice when she suddenly heard Lin Xi calling her sister very quietly.

Qiao Xing paused and turned to look at Lin Xi. She thought she was hearing hallucinations and said uncertainly, "Did you just call me?"

Lin Xi nodded awkwardly, then plucked up the courage to tell her, "Be careful."

"Why be careful?"

"that person."

Qiao Xing didn't understand what she said. Who was that person?

Just as she was about to ask, Qin Ce had already come out of the study and put on his signature black shirt again.

He walked to Qiao Xing and sat down beside him, asking politely: "Can we start?"

You could tell he was anxious to get back to work.

Qiao Xing nodded and handed him the rice in his hand, "Eat, eat."

Qin Ce took the meal and immersed himself in the meal without saying a word.

Qiao Xing said, "By the way, Team Leader Bai asked me to go out. I have to go out in the afternoon."

"Well, do you want me to deliver it?"

"No need, I look like someone is trying to rob you of your food, so I don't dare to trouble you."

Qin Ce choked on the food in his mouth, turned his head to the other side and coughed.

Qiao Xing hurriedly reached out and patted his back, "Are you okay? I was joking."

After Qin Ce finished coughing, he picked up a tissue on the table and wiped his mouth. He took a sip of the water handed by Qiao Xing and then said, "Eating is not important, but your matters are more important."

Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment, and at the same time he was moved and looked a little embarrassed, "Eating is also important, and your work is also important. I can just take a taxi myself and you don't need to send it to me."

"Really not?"

"No need, just eat quickly."

Qin Ce looked at her for a while, and it didn't look like she was duplicity, so he didn't insist anymore, "Okay."

After finishing his meal, he put down his bowls and chopsticks and said, "If you're in a hurry, leave it behind after you finish. I'll wash it later."

"...No, I'm not in a hurry, you are busy with your business."

His rushing attitude made Qiao Xing a little uncomfortable, since he was obviously so busy.

The more he behaves like this, the more Qiao Xing feels that he is useless and like a freeloader.

Qin Ce nodded and went back to his study.

After Qiao Xing and Lin Xi finished eating, they packed up the dishes and went in to wash them. Probably influenced by Qin Ce, she wiped the table several times until the water in the basin was extremely clear.

"Shall I send you to a cram school?"

Lin Xi shook her head, "I'll go by myself."

"It shouldn't be far. Come on if you have nothing to do. I'm going to check out your cram school."

Qiao Xing took her hand and led her out.

Lin Xi came here by herself, it would be safer to send her back in person to avoid any accidents.

Lin Xi did not refuse and followed her out of the community.

It's not far here. Qiao Xing walked for more than half an hour to get to her cram school. This girl could actually find the way. Qiao Xing felt scared just thinking about it. What if she got lost?

Qiao Xing sent her to the door of the cram school and said to her: "Next time, don't run around alone. It's so far away. If you want to come, just give me a call and I'll pick you up. Do you have a mobile phone? No. I’ll buy you one.”

It is not expensive to buy a domestic mobile phone. You can buy a good one for more than 1000.

Lin Xi shook her head, suddenly took Qiao Xing's hand, opened her mouth, struggled for a long time before saying, "No cell phone, be careful about that person."

"Who?" Qiao Xing was confused. This was the second time Lin Xi said this.
