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

"Isn't it too messy?"

"There's even more chaos."

"for example?"

"For example, he knew that his wife had wanted to divorce him for a long time, just to be able to live happily with a man outside, so he remarried her wife."

"........."

Qiao Xing scratched his head, feeling like his brain was on fire, "Then his wife is also willing?"

"Of course he didn't want to. He threatened his ex-wife with his daughter. His ex-wife was afraid that her parents would know about her daughter. In addition, the man outside was also married and refused to divorce her and marry her, so she agreed."

Sure enough, it was even messier.

"Is your circle so chaotic?"

Qin Ce was stunned, "What does it have to do with me? He and I are not in the same circle."

"Why not? You were driving someone else's car."

"I have been abroad and have never been in their circle, but even if I was, not everyone in this circle is so messed up, just some of them."

Qiao Xing looked at him suspiciously.

Qin Ce talked a lot today and was very gossipy.

He would never talk to her about this before, but today he actually told so much gossip about other people's families.

"By the way, let me ask you, were you the ones who tampered with my outstanding employee award and that car?"

"No." Qin Ce objected.

"I do not believe."

"It's really not me. Think about all the boxes. Can I control your drawing? Can I control you to draw the first prize?"

Qiao Xing thought about it, she was the one who drew the prizes throughout the whole process, unless Qin Ce knew some crooked ways and could control what prizes she drew.

"Okay, let's just believe you. If you lie to me again in the future, I will never forgive you!"

"Yeah, okay." Qin Ce nodded truthfully, but he didn't react until belatedly, braked suddenly, stopped the car on the side of the road, and looked at Qiao Xing sharply.

"So, you have forgiven me?"

Qiao Xing twitched the corner of his mouth, turned his head to avoid his gaze, and said unnaturally, "Think about it."

Qin Ce held her hand and said, "Thank you, my dear wife."

Qiao Xing broke away from his hand and said, "Come on, come on, let's drive."

"Okay." Qin Ce's face finally became cheerful, and even the temperature in the car rose several degrees.

Qiao Xing looked at the rapidly retreating scenery outside and suddenly said, "Your dad called me."

Qin Ce frowned. He knew what Qin Liang would say to Qiao Xing without asking.

"You leave him alone."

Qiao Xing looked back at him with a somewhat complicated expression, "He is your father, I..."

Qin Ce parked the car on the side of the road again. He looked at Qiao Xing seriously and said in a deep voice, "Qiao Xing, he is not my dad."

Qiao Xing was stunned.

Qin Ce took her hand and said, "They have been divorced for so many years, and I have never lived with him, and I have no father-son relationship, so you don't have to consider the relationship between me and him."

"Don't be embarrassed by it. You can just think of what he said as farts."

Qiao Xing twitched the corner of his mouth, "You...don't be so vulgar."

Qin Ce's eyes were very sincere. He held Qiao Xing's hand tightly and said, "To be honest, even if you don't, he and I will meet sooner or later, and you don't have to worry about becoming a burden to me."

"Because it is a fact that we are together. If he wants to use you to contain me, he can do the same if you leave me. In this way, I will be even less able to protect you. Do you understand what I mean?"

Qiao Xing's heart skipped a beat, she understood what Qin Ce meant.

And his words also dispelled the lingering haze in Qiao Xing's heart.

Regardless of whether she divorces Qin Ce or not, she can't stop Qin Liang from using her, because it doesn't depend on her, but... depends on Qin Ce's feelings for her.

"I see."

Qin Ce also breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at Qiao Xing, "Then, do you have any worries?"

Qiao Xing shook her head. She stretched out a hand and put it on the back of the man's hand. "No more."

"Don't lie to me again."

Qin Ce's eyes flashed. He still had Qiao Xing's ID card in his trouser pocket, and he suddenly felt it weighed a thousand pounds.

He nodded slightly, "I promise you."

Qiao Xing also smiled and said, "Okay, let's go back."

"Ah."

"I'm talking about returning to Chongqing."

"Leave at night."

"..."

"No...I said go back, and I didn't say I'd leave at night. Let's leave tomorrow. I'll leave tomorrow morning."

Qin Ce naturally had no objection. Anyway, his goal had been achieved, and it didn't matter whether he left or not.

The two returned to the hotel, and when Qin Ce followed her into the room, Qiao Xing didn't chase him away anymore.

Qin Ce made another excuse, "Leave early tomorrow. I'll get all my things. You can also pack them up and send them out as soon as you get up."

Qiao Xing nodded and quickly went to pack her things. She didn't have many things, so she packed them casually.

When Qin Ce carried him over and saluted, Qiao Xing suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Are you going to sleep with me tonight?"

Qin Ce's expression darkened, and there was a hint of hurt in his eyes. "If you don't like it, I can go back to sleep. I'll call you early tomorrow morning."

Qiao Xing couldn't bear to see him like this.

She hesitated for a moment, "Then why don't we just stay here and get all your things."

"Will it bother you?"

"No, I'm not at work, what can you do to disturb me?"

Qin Ce nodded, still looking pitiful, "Okay, I'll sleep on the sofa and you sleep on the bed."

Why did he say everything he said?

When Qin Ce said this, Qiao Xing was embarrassed to agree, as if she was being mean.

"Yeah, no need, there aren't many quilts."

"It's okay, it's just a cold at most, and I won't die."

Qiao Xing finally heard something was wrong. She grabbed the pillow and threw it at Qin Ce, "You're overacting!"

Qin Ce caught the pillow she threw and returned to his original state in a second. He walked to Qiao Xing and hugged her, "Don't be angry if I was wrong."

"Get up!"

Qin Ce refused to let go of her, but hugged her tighter, "Okay, don't be angry. I haven't slept with you in my arms for a long time. I have insomnia every day."

"Liar! I believe you are the one who has the ghost. Sleep on the sofa by yourself, or go back to sleep!" Qiao Xing pushed him away and glared at him angrily.

Qin Ce pinched his eyebrows and sighed, "Okay."

This time it's real, it's no longer just an act.

I overacted just now, and now I regret it.

He honestly took the pillow Qiao Xing threw to him, threw it on the sofa, pulled another sofa, sat on the sofa, put his feet up on the other sofa, folded his arms, and got ready to sleep.

He was so self-conscious that Qiao Xing didn't know what to say.

"You don't eat?"

Qin Ce closed his eyes and said, "I ordered a meal for you, I'm not hungry."

It was true that he had insomnia. He hadn't had a good night's sleep in several days and he was really sleepy now.

He had to drive a long way tomorrow, and he had to sleep no matter what.
