Chapter 19 You've Got the Wrong Person

She didn't know if it was because she felt guilty, or because the man's eyes were too sharp, making her feel like he could see right through her.

However, Qin Ce only glanced at her before going to the refrigerator to get water.

Lily's heart was pounding. She took a breath, smiled, and walked towards Qin Ce.

"Wang Ye told me your name is Qin Ce?"

Qin Ce ignored her, closed the refrigerator door, turned around and walked back. Lily, unwilling to give up, chased after him again, "Actually, Wang Ye and I have only been dating for a little over half a year."

Qin Ce paused, turned to look at her, and asked, "And then?"

Lily's smile deepened. "Don't misunderstand, I just wanted to say that I don't know him very well yet. After hearing what you and Wang Ye said before, I'm quite curious about your childhood. I'd like to hear your opinion on Wang Ye."

Qin Ce had to take another look at the woman. She was very articulate, using the excuse of knowing Wang Ye to get close to him. If it weren't for the shrewdness in her eyes, anyone would probably believe what she said.

“You can ask his parents, ask me, you’ve got the wrong person.”

Lily stepped forward again to block his path, a move that made Qin Ce frown.

“His parents are definitely on his side. You seem like a very honest person, so you wouldn’t lie to me.”

"If you think he has character flaws, you can break up with him. The fact that you're secretly asking around about his character shows that you don't really want to be with him."

Lily was slightly taken aback. She was about to say something when Qiao Xing came out.

Qiao Xing saw the two of them standing together talking, so she quickly walked over and asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"

Qin Ce didn't answer her, but went straight back to his bedroom and closed the door.

Lily smiled awkwardly, "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask him about his childhood with Wang Ye."

"What could they possibly have done when they were kids?" Qiao Xing thought back for a moment and realized that Wang Ye and Qin Ce didn't seem to have played much together when they were young.

Qin Ce was a quiet, model student who always kept to himself, while Wang Ye was a mischievous and wild child. The two of them simply couldn't get along.

"He was just about to speak when you came out." Lily's words subtly sowed discord between Qiao Xing and Qin Ce.

If your husband talks to your cousin about his childhood, a normal woman might not say anything, but she'll always feel a little uneasy.

But Qiao Xing and Qin Ce had only been married for a few days and didn't have much affection for each other. Hearing Lily say this only made her more curious.

"Really? Is it because his cousin bullied him when they were kids?"

Based on Wang Ye's previous words, Qiao Xing could deduce that Wang Ye must have bullied Qin Ce more than once when they were children. So, was Qin Ce complaining to Lily?

This man really holds a grudge.

"I don't know." Lily seemed to have thought of something, and she affectionately took Qiao Xing's arm. "Sister-in-law, you know that I haven't been dating Wang Ye for very long, and I don't know him very well. Why don't you tell me what he was like when he was a child?"

Qiao Xing pulled her to sit on the sofa and said with a smile, "My cousin was very naughty when he was a child, but he is a good person. He has always been loyal and kind to the people around him. He is a straightforward person and speaks directly. You have known him for so long, so I can tell that he likes you very much."

Lily listened to her with a smile, and after a while said, "Yes, I just think he's very straightforward and cute, that's why I'm with him."

Hearing her say that, Qiao Xing's liking for Lily increased considerably.

Wang Ye has nothing right now, while Lily is beautiful and a college student. Qiao Xing is genuinely happy for Wang Ye that she can truly like him.

Wang Ye was also good to Qiao Xing when they were young. Wang Ye was several years older than her and had good relationships with the troublemakers at school. With him protecting her, Qiao Xing was never bullied at school.

Everyone knows she has a cousin who's not someone to mess with, and he often picks her up from school.

Is my cousin's wife also from Chongqing?

"Yes, my parents are both in Chongqing. My mother is a professor at an art university, and my father is the operations director of a multinational company."

Qiao Xing was somewhat taken aback, "Wow, that's amazing..."

She suddenly became a little worried about Wang Ye.

"No, they are who they are. No matter how powerful they are, it has nothing to do with me. I've already told them about Wang Ye and me. We'll meet up sometime."

The two chatted for a long time. Qiao Xing felt that Lily was not only beautiful, but also very polite. Despite the great cultural differences between her and Wang Ye, she did not show any dislike for Wang Ye.

I'm afraid Wang Ye won't be able to get past Lily's parents.

Soon his aunt and Wang Ye returned. Seeing the two chatting so well, he couldn't help but smile.

"Cousin, I'll show you my cooking skills tonight. What would you like to eat?"

"I can do anything, cousin, you can even cook now?"

"Of course, just you wait." Wang Ye proudly carried the groceries to the kitchen.

It has to be said that Wang Ye has indeed changed a lot; even his cooking skills have improved so much.

In less than an hour, Chef Wang Ye had prepared the meal and brought it out. This was mainly because it was Lily's first time visiting his home, and he had prepared a very lavish meal.

However, Grandpa Qin was still next door, and Qiao Xing didn't know whether she should call him over, since this meal was to welcome Lily.

It was Wang Ye who spoke up, "Cousin, where's that grandpa? We're all family now, why don't you invite him over to eat with us?"

The uncle chimed in, "Yes, he still lives alone, doesn't he? Go and call him over."

Qiao Xing glanced at Qin Ce, who came out of the house, and then went straight to Qiao Xing's side. "I'll go call him."

"Then you should go quickly."

When Qin Ce arrived next door and knocked on the door, Grandpa Qin thought he was trying to run back again, and with a stern face, he was about to close the door.

Qin Ce pushed open the door speechlessly. "I'm here to call you to dinner."

"Eating?" Grandpa Qin seemed to be thinking of something. "Is it Xingxing's uncle's family back? I heard the noise from inside the house earlier."

"yes."

"Let's go take a look."

The old man loved lively gatherings. As soon as he heard that Uncle Qiao Xing had returned, he beamed with joy and came out leaning on his cane.

The house became even more lively after the old man arrived.

Qiao Xing helped him to the table, and Wang Ye quickly greeted him, "Grandpa Qin, do you still remember me?"

The old man sized him up for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Xiao Ye, isn't that right?"

"Haha, yes, I didn't expect you to have such a good memory. Let me introduce you, this is my girlfriend, Zhao Lili, you can just call her Lili."

"Hello, Grandpa Qin." Lily greeted him with a smile.

Grandpa Qin nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, you little rascal are getting married soon. I remember you were quite mischievous when you were little."

Wang Ye scratched his head sheepishly. He didn't want to bring up his embarrassing childhood history, so he changed the subject, "By the way, Lily's mother is a professor at some school, I think. Grandpa Qin, I remember you know a lot of professors, right? Maybe you know Lily's mother."

"Really? What's your mother's name, Lily?" Grandpa Qin asked.
