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

Qiao Xing returned to the room, washed up, went to bed, took her cell phone and called Qin Ce.

The phone rang twice and was quickly answered, "Qin Ce, you..."

Qiao Xing was just halfway through what he said when he heard the person on the phone say, "Qiao Xing, it's me, Han Yan."

Qiao Xing was stunned, "Mr. Han? Why did you answer the phone?"

Han Yan coughed twice and said, "It's like this. Qin Ce had a whole night of meetings last night and was busy looking at projects during the day. He just fell asleep in the lounge. I saw it was your call. I took it, I was afraid that you would be worried, so I told you."

Qiao Xing frowned, "Didn't you say that things are almost busy already? Why are you so busy?"

"This project is a bit complicated. It has been busy for several months. Qin Ce is indeed coming back two days ago, but there are other things that need to be dealt with temporarily. He can't leave. You Qin Ce also know that. When I get busy, I just spin around.”

"Okay, then you tell him to get more rest and remember to eat on time. The weather forecast seems to be rainy these two days. Remember to wear more clothes to avoid catching a cold."

Han Yan agreed, "Sure, I'll ask him to call you when he wakes up."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Mr. Han."

Qiao Xing hung up the phone, and it started to rain lightly outside the window. Maybe it was because of the dull weather, or maybe it was because her progesterone was unstable, and she always felt very uneasy in her heart.

On the other side, Han Yan sat on a chair, stared at the phone screen for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh.

The next day, when Qiao Xing woke up, she vaguely heard someone talking in the living room outside.

She got out of bed, put on her slippers and walked out, seeing Grandpa Qin and Xingjiu standing in the living room.

As soon as Qiao Xing came out, they both looked at her at the same time.

Xing Jiu greeted Qiao Xing, "Mrs."

Grandpa Qin said, "Xingxing, you're awake. Did you sleep well last night?"

Qiao Xing looked at Xing Jiu, a little confused, "Why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

Qin Ce's original order to Xing Jiu was to keep him by Qiao Xing's side no matter what.

But Qiao Xing thought it was a bit too much trouble, so she just asked him to come over while she called her.

So when Qiao Xing didn't contact him, he would just stay in the company.

Xing Jiu's eyes dodge, his expression was a little guilty, he opened his mouth, and when he was about to speak, Grandpa Qin beside him said, "I asked him to come over. Xiao Ce has been in the capital for a while. I asked Xing Jiu to come over and ask where he is. Case."

Xing Jiu hummed and nodded to Qiao Xing, "That's right."

Qiao Xing understood that the nanny had just made breakfast. Qiao Xing said, "Come over and have breakfast together. After you finish eating, you can take me to the company."

Xingjiu said, "No, I had already eaten when I came here."

While eating breakfast, Qiao Xing flipped through her phone. Yesterday, Han Yan said that she asked Qin Ce to call her when he woke up.

It's almost ten o'clock now, and Qin Ce would have already gotten up at this time.

But he hasn't called her back yet.

Did Han Yan forget to tell him, or was he busy and didn't have time to reply?

Grandpa Qin saw that she was a little distracted and asked, "Xingxing, what's wrong? I see you keep staring at your phone?"

When asked by Grandpa Qin, Qiao Xing felt that her worries were unfounded.

Sometimes Qin Ce is so busy that he doesn't eat or look at his phone for a whole day.

It’s not like she didn’t call back on purpose or didn’t want to. Why would she care about such a trivial matter?

Qiao Xing put away the phone and said to Grandpa Qin, "It's okay Grandpa, I just checked the email."

Grandpa Qin had already seen through her thoughts and asked with a smile, "Are you anxious because Xiao Ce didn't call you back?"

Qiao Xing blushed and felt very embarrassed for a moment.

At this time, Xingjiu, who was standing at the door, said, "Madam, Mr. Qin and the others went to the villa for a physical inspection this morning. They may have gone into the mountains and the signal was not good, so they did not call you back."

Qiao Xing thought, so this is it.

Grandpa Qin picked up the teacup and drank tea slowly, "Don't worry, Xiao Ce is very measured in everything he does. He won't do anything to make you worry."

Qiao Xing nodded. At this point, Qiao Xing believed Qin Ce 100%.

"During this period, you have been alone and pregnant. It is boring to stay with an old man like me every day. If you are bored, go to your company more every day, or call Xixi to your home. Yes, isn’t she going on vacation soon?”

"Grandpa, don't say that." Qiao Xing grabbed his arm, "I'm not bored. I'm happy to be with you every day."

Grandpa Qin smiled heartily, "You kid, you know how to say nice things to make an old man like me happy."

Qiao Xing squinted and smiled, "This is not coaxing. Now I am with you. When the child is born, he will be with you. Aren't you happy?"

Grandpa Qin seemed to have seen Qiao Xing's child babbling in his arms after it was born.

The smile on his face deepened, "Okay, grandpa is looking forward to the birth of your child. If I can live a few more years, I can also spend a few more years with my child!"

Qiao Xing was worried that he was overthinking it, so he quickly said, "You will definitely live a long life!"

After breakfast, Qiao Xing asked Xingjiu to take her to the Big Bad Wolf Company.

As soon as she got in the car, the smile on Qiao Xing's face disappeared, and she looked at Xing Jiu who was driving in front of her with a serious expression.

Xing Jiu originally wanted to start the car, but when he looked up, his eyes met Qiao Xing's in the rearview mirror.

Xingjiu immediately became nervous, "Madam...what's wrong?"

Qiao Xing stared at her and narrowed his eyes, "Are you hiding something from me?"

wrong.

Qiao Xing paused, "Are you hiding something from me?"

Alarm bells rang in Xing Jiu's heart. Did Qiao Xing already know everything?

Impossible, Xingjiu quickly made a judgment in her mind. If she really knew, there was absolutely no way she could ask him while sitting in the car like now.

Xing Jiu quickly calmed down and said to Qiao Xing without changing his expression, "No, I don't dare to hide anything from Madam."

Qiao Xing asked, "What about Qin Ce?"

It's not that she doesn't know anything. On the contrary, since she became pregnant, she has become more and more sensitive, and the slightest thing that is wrong will arouse her suspicion.

She originally didn't take what Shi Yi said to her that day to heart.

Qiao Xing knew very well what she thought about Qin Ce. Therefore, Qiao Xing did not believe everything that came out of her mouth, which was 70% false and 30% true.

But in the past two days, every time she failed to contact Qin Ce, or in other words, she always missed him by mistake, Qiao Xing had to be suspicious.
