After the Betrothal Gift Negotiation Failed, I Turned and Married the Tycoon

Due to issues with the betrothal gift, Qiao Xing's two-year relationship with her boyfriend collapsed overnight. Feeling disheartened, her elderly neighbor insisted his grandson go on a blind d...

Chapter 1053 must have been a typo.

Qin Ce looked at him, puzzled. "What do you think I should say?"

"Although Qin Ji was arrested by the police, he definitely didn't do this alone. If Aunt Wang really goes to America, then there will be no way to deal with him."

Qin Yi's intention was to have Qin Ce use this incident to make Qin Liang understand what kind of person Wang Yu really was.

He feared that Qin Liang was still in the dark and unaware of what Wang Yu had done.

If Qin Liang tries to bring Qin Ji back from the police for the sake of the Qin Group, then the matter of Qin Ce's car accident will be impossible to investigate further.

Qin Ce served food to Qiao Xing, saying nonchalantly, "Since Qin Ji has already admitted everything, then we should do what needs to be done. This matter has nothing to do with me anymore."

Qin Yi didn't expect Qin Ce to just let the matter drop like that.

He thought that, given Qin Ce's personality, even if Qin Ji had already been arrested by the police, he would definitely make sure that Qin Ji wouldn't have a peaceful time inside.

And then there's Wang Yu. If Qin Ji was really instigated by Wang Yu, then her purpose in going to the United States is already quite clear.

Qin Yi didn't understand. It was one thing for Qin Ce to be unaware, but he clearly knew why Wang Yu had gone abroad, yet he acted as if he didn't care at all.

Seeing that Qin Ce remained silent, Qin Yi could only look at Qiao Xing.

Qiao Xing gestured to Qin Yi with her eyes, indicating that he should eat and not say anything.

After finishing his meal, Qin Ce made a phone call.

Qin Yi didn't leave; he and Qiao Xing sat in the living room playing games.

Qin Yi asked Qiao Xing curiously, "Is my brother really not going to get involved in this matter anymore?"

Qiao Xing shook her head. "I asked him, but he didn't say anything. It seems like he really doesn't want to talk about it anymore."

Qin Yi stroked his chin, puzzled. "That shouldn't be the case. According to my brother's personality, he's not the type to settle things so easily."

Qiao Xing didn't understand either, since he had clearly disliked Wang Yu before.

Qin Ji is one thing, but what he did was already impossible to hide, and even if he denied it, the police had plenty of evidence.

Anyway, after this incident, Qin Ji won't be able to get out anytime soon.

But Qin Ce could have simply gone to Qin Liang and told him about it.

But Qin Ce did nothing; he didn't even pursue Wang Yu's responsibility.

Not to mention Qin Yi, even Qiao Xing didn't understand Qin Ce's thoughts.

However, Qin Ce was unwilling to say more, so Qin Yi and Qiao Xing didn't pay much attention to the matter.

That evening, Qin Ce and Qiao Xing were getting ready to rest. Qin Ce had just finished showering and was drying his hair when his phone rang.

He glanced at the number but didn't answer; instead, he simply ignored it.

Qiao Xing asked him curiously, "Who is it? Why didn't you answer?"

Qin Ce said, "It must have been a mistake."

He threw down the towel in his hand and was about to get into bed when his phone rang again.

This time, Qiao Xing saw the number on Qin Ce's phone.

It was Qin Liang calling; no wonder Qin Ce didn't want to answer.

Qin Ce frowned, somewhat impatient, when he saw Qin Liang call again.

But Qin Ce still didn't answer; he simply turned off his phone.

Qiao Xing asked, "Is something urgent?"

"It's none of my business if anything happens, go to sleep."

Qin Ce helped Qiao Xing put her pillow away.

Because of her large belly, Qiao Xing experiences oxygen deprivation at night when lying down, and accidentally puts pressure on her arm when sleeping on her side.

I feel terrible no matter what.

Especially during the nearly one month that Qin Ce was away, Qiao Xing's sleep was already poor. With Qin Ce not by her side and the baby constantly moving around in her belly, Qiao Xing hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time.

Qin Ce knew she was uncomfortable, so he specially massaged her shoulders and calves before she went to sleep.

These areas are prone to swelling and cramps.

Perhaps because Qin Ce was by her side, Qiao Xing fell asleep very quickly this time, drifting off to sleep without realizing it.

But after a short while, Qiao Xing seemed to hear someone talking.

Qiao Xing initially thought he was just dreaming and didn't take it seriously.

But later she discovered that the voice she heard was not from a dream, but from reality.

Qiao Xing subconsciously opened her eyes, only to realize that Qin Ce was not beside her.

Qiao Xing felt a moment of panic, but then noticed that Qin Ce's phone was still on the bedside table.

Qiao Xing felt relieved. She heard voices outside, got out of bed, and put on her slippers.

After leaving the bedroom, Qiao Xing saw two people sitting in the living room: Qin Ce and Qin Liang.

Qiao Xing was slightly surprised. When did Qin Liang arrive?

Qin Liang and Qin Ce both saw Qiao Xing. Qin Ce got up and came to Qiao Xing's side. "Why are you awake? Did I disturb you?"

Qiao Xing shook her head, glanced at Qin Liang behind Qin Ce, and whispered to Qin Ce, "Why is he here?"

Qiao Xing didn't notice that Qin Ce's expression was a little unpleasant. He said to Qiao Xing, "Come over here to talk about something. You go inside and get some sleep. I'll be done in a bit."

Qiao Xing figured that since Qin Liang had come so late, he must have something very important to say to Qin Ce, and it wasn't very convenient for him to be here.

So, after listening to Qin Ce's words, he prepared to go back to his room.

But just as she was about to turn around, she suddenly heard Qin Liang say, "Since Qiao Xing is here too, why don't you come over and have a chat?"

Qin Ce's face immediately darkened.

Qiao Xing was somewhat surprised. Why would Qin Liang suddenly call her? They didn't seem to have anything to talk about.

Qin Ce seemed not to hear Qin Liang's words and said to Qiao Xing, "Don't worry about him, go inside and go to sleep."

Seeing this situation, Qiao Xing realized that it would be bad if he didn't stay.

She said to Qin Ce, "It's okay, I'll stay with you."

Qin Ce hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse.

The two walked to the sofa and sat down.

Qin Liang sat opposite them.

They are clearly family, but the atmosphere at this moment is as if they are strangers.

Qiao Xing didn't know what the two of them had talked about before he arrived, so he didn't say anything and just sat quietly.

He didn't speak, and neither did Qin Liang and Qin Ce. The three of them just stared at each other in silence.

After a moment, Qin Liang broke the silence first, "Xingxing, I know that after you came to our home, the family had a good meal together, but Feifei is so immature and caused you a lot of trouble."

Qiao Xing was surprised that Qin Liang would suddenly say these things to her.

If Qiao Xing didn't know what kind of person Qin Liang was, she would have been willing to listen to his words.

But at this moment, Qin Liang's words sounded awkward to Qiao Xing no matter how she listened.

Her first thought was...

What exactly does this person want to do?

"After all, you are Qin Ce's wife, a member of the Qin family, and pregnant with his child. As the head of the Qin family, I have indeed failed to take good care of you in many ways before, and that was my fault."
