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

Yang Han sent her a string of voice messages, "I'm packing my things and getting ready to go back."

Qiao Xing was confused, hadn't the game started yet?Why is he coming back?

"Why? Did you lose the game?"

Yang Han said: "Tomorrow's semi-finals, if we can't beat them, we'll run away after the match."

Qiao Xing had a question mark on his forehead, "Why?"

Yang Han explained to him that the number one player was too powerful. They only needed to win one game to win the championship, while Yang Han and the others still needed to win three games in a row to win the championship.

The opponent beat them to a pulp in yesterday's game. They had no chance of winning, so why did they just sneak away?

Qiao Xing was a little surprised, "Is the other party so powerful?"

"You think it's mainly Qin Yi. I'm going to scold him again. This bastard abandoned his teammates and ran away. I really want to beat him to death!"

What Yang Han said was like gnashing of teeth. If Qin Yi was in front of him, he might really take action.

Xia Nan's skills are actually not that bad, but there are still some issues with coordination. Being able to reach No. 2 is already very good.

It's just that Yang Han's championship dream is gone, and he is extremely unhappy now.

After hearing his explanation, Qiao Xing felt a little regretful, but she could only console her verbally, "Don't be discouraged. Just call back next time. It's not just this one-time competition."

"I'm not interested anymore. I won't hold it next time. It's just a waste of time."

Because he abducted Xiao Lin to Haishi together, he was scolded by his father. He could hide it a little at first, but over time he couldn't.

Now he has to face his father's anger when he goes back, and he hasn't won the championship. You can imagine how bad his mood is now.

Qiao Xing didn't know how to comfort him. After chatting with him for a while, the two of them reached a tacit understanding and stopped sending messages.

When she finished her driving lesson, she walked out of the driving school. Qin Ce hadn't arrived yet. He had sent her a message saying he was leaving an hour ago. If he hadn't arrived for so long, he must have been stuck on the road.

Qiao Xing waited boredly for another ten minutes before Qin Ce arrived belatedly.

When she got in the car, Qin Ce didn't ask how her studies were going today. Instead, she looked serious.

Qiao Xing noticed that he was worried, so he asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Qin Ce sighed and looked at Qiao Xing with some hesitation, "I just received a call. The old man has not been in good health these past two days. I may have to go to the capital. Do you want to come with me?"

Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment. Her first reaction was to refuse, "I won't go."

Thinking of Qin Ce's father and their complicated family, she felt suffocated just thinking about it. She didn't know what would happen if he went there.

"You'd better come with me, I'm not worried about you being here alone."

Qiao Xing shook his head like a rattle, "I won't go, I don't want to go."

Qin Ce was silent for a moment and drove the car out without saying anything.

The atmosphere in the car was too quiet. Qiao Xing didn't know if he was unhappy if he refused, and he was struggling in his heart whether to go or not.

She struggled all the way to the community gate, but she still couldn't make up her mind.

Instead, they met Qiao Hong at the door. The atmosphere was not very good to begin with, but as soon as Qiao Hong appeared, the atmosphere became even worse.

Qin Ce pretended not to see him and drove past Qiao Hong. Qiao Hong did not recognize his car and continued to look at the door.

After parking the car in the garage, before Qin Ce got out of the car, Qiao Xing grabbed his arm and said with a heartbeat, "How about I go with you?"

Qin Ce glanced at her and said, "If you don't want to go, don't force yourself. Just stay in Yucheng."

"Are you angry?"

"No, I was just thinking about something."

Qin Ce was thinking that Qin Liang had not taken any action during this period. The reason may be because he stayed in Chongqing and did not return to Kyoto, so he did not pose any threat to him.

Qin Liang had been asking him to go back before, fearing that he was just testing him to see if he was really interested in the Qin family.

Otherwise, he can kidnap Qin Yi back. If he really wants him to go back, there are many ways to get him back.

But this time I really have to go back, and I don’t know what will happen.

She felt that Qiao Xing was not safe anywhere. Once he left, she would be far away from her, so she couldn't care less about him. However, if he went to Kyoto, all Qin and Liang's forces there would be better off than in Chongqing.

"Then I..."

Qin Ce said, "I just thought about it, you should stay in Yucheng, and I will introduce someone to you."

With that said, he opened the car door, got out, and led Qiao Xing back home.

The person he was talking about was none other than Xing Jiu.

The moment Qiao Xing saw him appear, his whole body felt bad. Isn't this the weird man he saw at the door of the hospital before?

"he is?"

"The captain of the bodyguard."

After hearing these four words, Qiao Xing finally understood what was going on.

This guy kept a lot of things hidden from her.

But now was not the time to ask questions, so she turned to look at Xingjiu.

Xingjiu immediately bent down and bowed to her, "Hello, madam."

"No, don't call me that, I'm not used to it." Qiao Xing got goosebumps when he heard this title.

"Then..." Xingjiu glanced at Qin Ce and asked what he meant.

Qin Ce gave him a look that he knew what to do.

Xing Jiu hesitated and said, "Then...Miss Qiao?"

Qiao Xing frowned and hesitated for a moment, "That's okay."

She can still accept this title.

Qin Ce said, "When I'm away, if you have anything to do, just come to him or Han Yan."

Qiao Xing nodded and looked at him troubledly, "Don't talk to me like you're explaining your will. I'm afraid."

In an originally serious atmosphere, when she said this, Qin Ce couldn't help but laugh, but he only laughed for a second and then stopped, and said to Qiao Xing seriously, "I'm talking about business."

"Okay, I'll make a note of it."

Qin Ce thought for a while and then explained, "If you are afraid of living alone, go live with your aunt."

"it is good."

"Don't run around at night."

"Um……"

"Where are you going and ask Xingjiu to see you off?"

"..."

He also told Lao Duo nonchalantly not to drink alcohol or go to remote places, just like an old woman.

After he finished speaking, Qiao Xing asked him, "When are you leaving?"

"It's not decided yet. It should be just these two days. If nothing major happens, I can be back within a week."

Qiao Xing opened his mouth and wanted to ask what if something big happened?

But it felt unlucky to ask, so he swallowed his words.

But Qin Ce seemed to have read her thoughts and said, "No matter what happens, I will try to come back within a month."

Qiao Xing nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Okay, okay."

Qin Ce stared at her, vaguely aware of her impatience, and he didn't say any more.

He winked at Xing Jiu, indicating that he could leave.

Xing Jiu nodded and left silently.

When Xing Jiu left, Qin Ce asked abruptly, "Is your aunt gone?"
