Chapter 235 What kind of position is this?

Qin Ce did not answer, but stared at her expressionlessly, waiting for her to continue.

Unexpectedly, Fang Ya suddenly knelt down in front of Qin Ce, startling her mother who was standing beside her. She tried to pull Fang Ya up, but Fang Ya pushed her away.

Fang Ya looked up, her face bearing shocking injuries under the streetlights. Large bruises covered the corners of her mouth and eyes, and her disheveled hair was swept across her face by the wind.

She stared at Qin Ce's indifferent face, tears instantly streaming down her face. She opened her mouth, letting out a choked sob, "President Qin, I'm sorry."

"I was wrong before. I shouldn't have looked down on you, I shouldn't have gone against you. I was wrong, I deserve to die..."

Her voice was a little hoarse, but her attitude of admitting her mistake was very sincere, and she sounded somewhat desperate.

Fang's mother watched with heartache, and tried to pull Fang Ya's hand, but couldn't get her up.

Fang Ya said to herself, "I was blind and couldn't judge people properly. I deserve this fate."

"I think Mr. Qin must be satisfied now, right? My father is innocent, and my mother is innocent too. Can you please leave our hotel alone?"

This is the only thing Fang Ya can do now. The hotel is her father's life's work, and now Fang Sheng is paralyzed in bed, all because of her.

Fang Ya felt that if she didn't do something, she would never be able to face her father again.

After Fang Ya finished speaking, she looked at Qin Ce pleadingly. Although she was covered in wounds, she knelt with her back straight, as if she would not get up until Qin Ce agreed.

Qin Ce looked at her quietly, and the atmosphere became extremely tense. Fang Ya pinched her thigh with her fingers, making herself tremble.

She was afraid Qin Ce wouldn't agree, and she was afraid her family would be ruined.

There's no point in her coming back then; she might as well just kill herself in the cowshed in the mountains.

After a while, Qin Ce finally spoke: "If your hotel has no problems and passes the inspection, there is naturally nothing to worry about."

He said that, then opened the car door, got in, and drove off in Fang Ya's bewildered gaze.

Fang Ya didn't understand what he meant, so she could only look to Yang Han for help.

Seeing that she was indeed pitiful, Yang Han felt a little compassion and explained to her, "What he meant was that as long as your hotel is really okay, then this matter will be over."

Fang Ya stared blankly at Yang Han: "He... he's letting us go?"

"Pretty much, your hotel shouldn't have any of those illegal things, right?"

Fang Ya hurriedly shook her head repeatedly, "No, no!"

"That's settled then, hurry back." Yang Han said, glancing again at the injury on her face. Her gaze was also somewhat broken, showing that she had changed after all.

A person's growth really has nothing to do with age.

After Yang Han left, Fang's mother quickly pulled Fang Ya up, saying, "You silly child..."

When Fang Ya returned, she decided that she would stay at the hotel for her father until Fang Sheng recovered.

This may be her reason for persisting in living.

Qin Ce only saw the WeChat message from Qiao Xing on his way back, and he used one hand to reply to her.

Qiao Xing picked it up and glanced at it. He actually asked her if she had eaten.

This guy, doesn't he even know what time it is? She's already eaten.

However, by now, she was actually quite hungry.

She typed back: I kind of want to eat barbecue.

Qin Ce replied with an OK emoji.

He came back quite late, almost midnight, carrying a large bag of barbecue.

As soon as he entered the door, Qiao Xing smelled the delicious aroma, making her mouth water.

Qin Ce changed his shoes, carried the barbecue over, placed it on the coffee table, took off his coat and draped it over the sofa, and asked while unbuttoning his cuffs, "Are they asleep?"

Qiao Xing nodded and whispered, "You've been sleeping for half the day, haven't you eaten?"

"I'm going to wash my hands, you eat quickly."

With that, Qin Ce went to the restroom.

Qiao Xing quickly opened the package and took out all the barbecue inside; he had bought a lot.

There were chicken wings and drumsticks, grilled squid, sweetfish slices, grilled eggplant, and plenty of beef and lamb skewers...

Qiao Xing picked up disposable gloves, put them on, grabbed a chicken wing, and tasted it. It tasted good.

After Qin Ce finished washing his hands and came out, Qiao Xing immediately handed him a chicken leg, saying, "Let's eat together."

He glanced at the chicken leg, paused for a moment, and said, "You eat it, I'm not hungry."

"Why did you buy so much? I can't possibly eat it all!"

Qin Ce said, "I thought Xue Ling and the others weren't asleep."

Qiao Xing paused, then suddenly felt a pang of guilt for eating alone. "How about... we wake them up?"

"No need, they don't eat these, and Xue Ling's stomach can't handle them right now."

Qiao Xing thought about it and realized that Xue Ling had only been discharged from the hospital a few days ago, and her stomach probably hadn't recovered yet, so she couldn't be allowed to eat these things.

So Qiao Xing pestered him again, "You should eat something too, it's no fun eating alone."

He should be able to eat the barbecue since there was no chili in it.

Unable to resist her persistent pestering, Qin Ce could only put on gloves, take the chicken leg from her hand, and hesitantly take a bite.

"Something feels off. Do we have any beer at home?"

Qin Ce glanced at her. "You want to drink?"

Qiao Xing looked at the skewers in his hand and said, "Eating barbecue without drinking beer is soulless."

Qin Ce's brow twitched as he recalled how drunk she had been the last time, but he still got up to get her two bottles of beer.

He pulled the tab, but Qiao Xing took it from him, saying, "You can't drink it."

Qin Ce stared at her suspiciously, "Why can't I drink it?"

"Of course it's because of you..." Qiao Xing almost blurted out that he had a stomach problem, but luckily he stopped himself in time and changed his words to, "You have to drive to work tomorrow, why drink alcohol? Just drink some plain water."

Qin Ce twitched the corner of his mouth and put the beer back in his hand, which he hadn't planned to drink anyway.

She got drunk and confused, and then we had to clean up the mess for her.

Qiao Xing's alcohol tolerance is not very high; he gets dizzy after just two bottles.

Qin Ce sat beside her watching her eat. She held a skewer in one hand and a beer in the other, completely absorbed in her meal.

The main reason is that she hasn't had barbecue in a long time, probably about a year.

After finishing one bottle, Qiao Xing felt a little dizzy, so she didn't drink the remaining bottle.

"Finished eating?"

Qiao Xing let out a burp and smiled sheepishly, "Why aren't you eating?"

"You can eat it." Qin Ce said, standing up to clear the table. He packed up everything she had eaten and what she hadn't finished and put it in a trash bag, which made Qiao Xing feel a pang of heartache.

She had intended to save it for tomorrow, but Qin Ce wouldn't allow it and threw it all away!

He might be a bit of a germaphobe; he wiped the table twice with tissues and then twice with burlap.

Qiao Xing considered herself to be quite clean, but she never expected this man to be even cleaner than her.

She stood up to wash up, but Qin Ce immediately dropped the burlap sack, came over and picked her up. A sudden dizziness startled Qiao Xing.

"What are you doing?!"

"Aren't you going to brush your teeth?"

“I can go by myself…” She walks with a slight limp, but not to the point where she can’t walk.

But he didn't listen to her explanation. He carried her straight to the bathroom and stood in front of the sink.

"Go ahead and wash."

"..." Qiao Xing's lips twitched violently. "How am I supposed to wash it like this?"

Wash by hand.

He was holding her while she washed up... What kind of position was this? Qiao Xing was completely flustered and struggled to get out of his arms.

Qiao Xing blushed and said stiffly, "I need to go to the toilet."

He glanced down at Qiao Xing, then carried her to the toilet.

Qiao Xing's eyes widened suddenly, and she began to panic.
