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

The old man rubbed his eyes, bent down, and looked at Linlin with squinted eyes.

"Whose child is this?"

Qiao Xing explained: "Grandpa, this belongs to my colleague. She has something to do, so she asked me to look after it for a while."

The old man's face looked slightly disappointed. He opened the door and said, "Come on."

Qiao Xing pulled Linlin in. The child looked around after entering, showing no signs of being afraid of anything.

Although he was not his great-grandson, the old man still brought out a lot of food.

"Little guy, come here and eat some sweets." The old man sat down on the sofa. "These were given by those people a few days ago. I am too old to eat these. You guys have to find a way to solve all those things."

Linlin glanced at the snacks on the table and shook his head, "Grandpa, I'm changing my teeth."

He spoke in a babyish voice, and you could still see his missing front teeth when he spoke, which made the old man laugh.

"This little guy is so handsome." He took the child's hand and said to Qin Ce, "He looks like Xiaoyi when he was a child."

When Qiao Xing heard him mention Qin Yi's childhood, he couldn't help but sit down and chat, "What was Qin Ce like when he was a child?"

"Look at what he looks like now, what he looked like when he was a child."

Qiao Xing glanced at Qin Ce again. He was standing there expressionless, as if he was not to be approached by strangers.

She also remembered that she had seen him several times when she was a child, and it seemed that he was really the same.

He was a loner, and even though he lived next door, he never took the initiative to talk to Wang Ye. Qiao Xing could only see him when he was at or after school.

"It really is."

Qin Ce was not interested in this kind of topic. He put the packaged takeout on the table and went to his room, "Remember to eat."

The old man said: "You see, well, it's a good thing you two are married, otherwise I would be really worried that he would die alone."

"That's not the case. He is so good. When he wants to get married, many girls will want to marry him."

"Then I can't see it." The old man pursed his lips. He glanced at Linlin who was sitting obediently next to him, and suddenly thought of something, "This child can't be the child of that colleague of yours who said he married your cousin. Bar?"

"Well, it's hers."

"Children look so cute. When are you two going to have one for Grandpa to take care of?"

Qiao Xing was once again silenced by the old man. She really didn't know how to answer the question.

However, the old man just clicked through and did not continue to ask questions. He picked up the remote control and turned on the TV for Linlin to watch.

"Little guy, what do you want to see?"

"Happy sheep."

"Haha, okay, grandpa will find it for you."

The old man pressed the remote control to find a channel for Linlin.

Qiao Xing said: "Grandpa, please eat your food first. It will get cold soon."

"I've eaten it and left it to be eaten tomorrow. I'm looking for cartoons for the little one."

Qiao Xing saw that they were having a good time, and there seemed to be no need for her to sit here. She went to the bathroom to wash up.

After coming out, she played games on the sofa and waited for Bai Yi to come and pick up the child.

As soon as the game was launched, Little Rabbit sent an invitation.

Qiao Xing was still clicking on the activity window, but she accidentally clicked on Accept. She wanted to quit, but thought about it and gave it up.

"Hello sister-in-law."

Qiao Xing glanced at the old man next to her who was watching TV with Linlin. She took her mobile phone to the dining room chair and whispered, "Good evening. I can't turn on the mic right now."

"That's it, okay then, let's communicate through typing."

"Woolen cloth."

Little Rabbit clicked to start the game. Qiao Xing was a little surprised, why was there no Qin Yi tonight?

She typed and asked Little Rabbit, and the other party said that Qin Yi didn't have time these days because he was playing a game.

Qiao Xing was a little surprised, starting a game so soon?

[Where to fight? ]

Little Rabbit: [I will send you the link later, but it is not available today. They will start playing at [-] am and [-] pm tomorrow. ]

Because this is the city's preliminary round, there are so many teams that have signed up, and they have to play many knockout rounds every day, so Qin Yi basically doesn't have time to play with Little Rabbit.

Qiao Xing expressed her understanding. There wouldn't be many people at work tomorrow, so she could fish.

After all, she had wasted five days of annual leave in exchange for it. She always felt that she was sorry for her annual leave if she didn't take advantage of it.

Little Rabbit still played as a support player. Qiao Xing didn't really want her to assist him, so he played whatever position he had. But no matter what she played, the Little Rabbit followed her.

This made Qiao Xing helpless.

Playing against the road as a support, the enemy teased her for having a weak kidney.

Little Rabbit's assists are very powerful, the kind that can directly kill the opponent alone, but when she plays with Qin Yi, this is very different from her speaking voice.

If he hadn't heard her voice, Qiao Xing would have definitely thought it was a boy's play.

It's different if someone takes it with you. Qiao Xing has already received noble diamonds.

There's no point in winning all the time. Qiao Xing was already a little sleepy. When she looked at the time, it was almost 12 o'clock.

We promised to only watch the child for an hour, but it has been four hours!

Over there, the old and the young were very engaged in watching TV.

Qiao Xing quickly sent a message to Bai Yi and asked her when she would come to take Linlin away.

Bai Yi sent her a helpless expression and said: Sorry, I can't leave at your cousin's house. Thank you for your hard work. I will take him tomorrow morning.

Qiao Xing:......

What could she say? She couldn't take the child to them now, could she?

Qiao Xing sighed, walked over and said to Grandpa Qin, "Grandpa, it's twelve o'clock, you should go to bed quickly."

The old man only realized it so late, "Where is your colleague?"

"She is at her cousin's house. Linlin has to stay here tonight."

"Then stay here. There is an extra room anyway. Which room will you sleep in, kid?"

Qin Yi's room was occupied by Qin Ce, so the only one left was the one where Bai Yi lived before.

Linlin pouted her lips, as if she wanted to cry or not, "I want my mother."

The old man coaxed him, "Your mother has something to do and can't come for the time being. How about sleeping with grandpa?"

"I want my mother." Linlin shed tears as she said this, looking extremely aggrieved.

Qiao Xing and the old man looked at each other helplessly, what should they do?

Qiao Xing sent a message to Bai Yi again, and Bai Yi told her to wait until Wang Ye's parents fell asleep to take Linlin away.

"Grandpa, you go to bed first. I'll stay with him here. My colleague will be here later."

"You have to go to work tomorrow, right? Staying up late isn't an option."

Qiao Xing said: "It's okay. Anyway, I'm the only one in the department now. I can sleep secretly during work. Grandpa, please go take the medicine and go to sleep."

As she spoke, she went to get water and medicine for the old man.

The old man has a temper like a child. He has to watch him every time before taking medicine. He has not recovered from his cold and still coughs from time to time, but he still thinks he is fine.

The old man reluctantly took the medicine and told Qiao Xing not to stay up late. If he couldn't do it anymore, he called Qin Ce to take care of the child before going back to sleep.

Qiao Xing and Linlin were sitting in the living room. The cartoons could no longer attract him. He curled his lips and started to cry with sobs.

"Okay, don't cry. Mom will be here soon. Otherwise, you and I can go to bed first. Mom will be here when you wake up."

Linlin kept shaking her head, "I want my mother."

There was nothing Qiao Xing could do.

Just when Qin Ce came out of the house, he frowned when he saw that the child was still there.
