Chapter 297 Is it really not going to work?

Qin Ce was too lazy to correct him. He pointed his phone at the two of them and snapped seven or eight photos of them in the same pose.

Qiao Xing glanced at the photo and was not satisfied. Qin Ce in the photo looked like someone owed him money.

Seeing that Qin Ce wasn't in a good mood, she stopped trying to get him to take pictures.

After taking the photos, Qin Ce took her for a casual stroll, then they went to the mall to buy some things before taking Qiao Xing back.

We arrived late today, and after such a long flight, all three of us were exhausted.

It was almost dark when we got back.

Qiao Xing also started to feel sleepy, so she took her pajamas, took a shower, and returned to the bedroom that Qin Ce had chosen for her.

She feels like she can fall asleep the moment her head hits the bed.

Qiao Xing had just lain down on the bed when her phone suddenly rang. It was Qiao Ying.

Qiao Ying: Sister-in-law, you went abroad?

Without a doubt, Qin Yi must have told her, but why did she come to ask her? Qiao Xing didn't understand.

Qiao Xing: Yeah, what's wrong?

Qiao Ying: Because I had planned to travel abroad before, if I had known you guys were going, I would have gone too.

Qiao Xing was so sleepy that she typed with her fingers, and her eyelids closed as she typed.

The next second, Qiao Ying's message jolted her awake again.

Qiao Ying: Sister-in-law, tell me secretly, has Bao Bao brought any other girls with him?

Qiao Xing now understood why she had contacted him and replied: No, it was just the three of us.

Qiao Ying: Is it too late for me to come find you now?

These words cheered Qiao Xing up. She grabbed her phone and typed: "Ask Qin Yi. I'm just a newbie following along with them. I don't know how long they'll stay here."

Qiao Xing knew that Qin Yi didn't want to meet Qiao Ying, so she didn't dare to make that decision herself.

Qiao Ying naturally understood Qiao Xing's refusal and simply replied with an "okay".

Qiao Xing breathed a sigh of relief, put down her phone, and lay down on her pillow, drifting off to sleep again.

It's unclear whether fate is deliberately working against her, but every time she's about to fall asleep, her phone rings.

This time it's not Qiao Ying, it's Qiao Yi.

Joey knew she was on vacation and was still asking her if she was coming.

Qiao Xing wanted to tell her that she had arrived, but she was afraid that if she told Qin Ce, it might affect some of his plans.

While she was still struggling with her decision, Qin Ce came in after taking a shower.

He quietly got into bed and hugged Qiao Xing from behind. "What are you doing?"

His breath tickled Qiao Xing's cheek, and Qiao Xing pushed him away. "My aunt asked if we wanted to come to France, and I'm debating whether to tell her we've already arrived."

"Ignore her." His hand, which was around her waist, started to wander.

Qiao Xing was slightly taken aback. The next second, she suddenly sat up with a somersault, startling Qin Ce.

Qin Ce dared not move and could only watch her.

Qiao Xing turned to look at him, and said blankly, "My phone bill is overdue."

Qin Ce's lips twitched slightly. "Is there some program in your background that you haven't closed?"

Qiao Xing quickly checked and saw seven or eight apps running in the background. "Yes, but why did I suddenly run out of money?"

"Because international roaming is very expensive."

"Can I top up my phone credit now?"

Qin Ce pulled her arm and made her lie down. "I'll charge it for you tomorrow. Go to sleep."

Qiao Xing lay down and turned her head to see the man's not-so-pure gaze, which made her heart skip a beat.

"Sleep, go to sleep." With that, she turned over, turning her back to Qin Ce.

Qin Ce leaned closer and shamelessly hugged her, saying, "Wife."

Upon hearing those two words, Qiao Xing felt completely flustered. Her face flushed, and she whispered, "Qin Yi is here."

"He's downstairs, just keep your voice down."

These outrageous words almost made Qiao Xing choke. She turned and glared at Qin Ce, her face burning hot, from anger and embarrassment.

When Qin Ce saw her fierce look, he felt somewhat innocent.

"No, go to sleep!"

Qin Ce: "..." Suddenly, he didn't know which sentence he said wrong.

"Really not working?"

"No." Qiao Xing's attitude was firm, showing no intention of backing down.

So Qin Ce threw off the covers, got up, and went out.

Qiao Xing was stunned. Was he angry?

Where are you going?

Without turning his head, Qin Ce said, "Kick Qin Yi out."

Qiao Xing's mind went blank for a moment before he realized what he had just said.

She quickly got out of bed and chased after him, grabbing him at the top of the stairs, and said somewhat exasperatedly, "Are you crazy...?"

Qin Ce turned and looked at her. "What's wrong?"

"You..." Qiao Xing felt like she couldn't keep up with his thought process. Instead of looking for the reason within herself, he went and kicked Qin Yi out. She didn't know if he was crazy or if Qiao Xing herself was crazy, because she couldn't understand it.

She grabbed Qin Ce's arm, hesitated for a long time, and then awkwardly said, "Okay, let's go back."

Qin Ce gave her a deep look. "Is that enough?"

Qiao Xing is now thinking of jumping off the second floor.

She turned her head away and gave a hesitant "hmm."

"Then let's go back."

After saying this, Qin Ce bent down, picked her up, and strode back to the bedroom.

As soon as he entered the room, his kiss landed on her. Qiao Xing was a little overwhelmed and could only hug his neck tightly.

Qiao Xing was a little scared by his appearance, which suggested he had been starving for hundreds of years.

Qin Yi, who was chatting with Qiao Ying downstairs, had no idea that he was almost going to end up homeless.

He's feeling conflicted and anxious right now. The little rabbit says she's coming to see him, and he doesn't know whether he should agree to it.

Qin Yi was thinking ahead. If he were like the others, just playing around and letting the little rabbit come and go as it pleased, he wouldn't care.

But he didn't want to be like his father, a scoundrel who had children everywhere.

Unable to get a response from him, Qiao Ying started to unleash her ultimate move.

Qiao Ying: "Do you have a girlfriend?"

Qin Yi frowned, picked up the phone, and sat up in bed. "I'm not that kind of person."

"Then why won't you meet with me? We've been talking for so long, and you still won't meet me. I'm so sad."

"...I'm just not ready yet."

Qiao Ying started sobbing on the other end of the line, "You're never ready. If you don't want to talk to me anymore, just say so. Let's break up."

Qin Yi rubbed his forehead, feeling somewhat irritated.

"I'm really not ready, please wait a little longer."

"What are you waiting for?"

Qin Yi remained silent for a while. He opened his mouth, hesitated several times before finally deciding to say, "When I can make my own decisions."

Qiao Ying's brow twitched upon hearing this.

Under what circumstances would someone not even be able to make decisions about dating?

Unless it's a wealthy and prestigious family, they won't have strict standards for choosing a wife, or the selection process will be arranged by the family.

Her heart was pounding; it seemed Qin Yi's identity was even more powerful than she had imagined.

But she said, "What? Can't you even make your own decisions about dating? You always use this excuse to brush people off. I'm not playing with you anymore!"

"I really didn't just brush you off." Qin Yi's headache worsened, so he simply asked, "Then tell me, what are you thinking?"

"I want to see you. Even if what you said is true, and I can't be with you for the rest of my life, it's better to be with you for a while than to have regrets later. Baby, I love you."

Qin Yi fell silent.

Qiao Ying then asked, "Do you want me to come or not?"
