Chapter 374 You've overdone it!

"Isn't this too chaotic?"

"It gets even more chaotic."

"For example?"

"For example, he knew that his wife had wanted to divorce him for a long time so that she could be with another man legitimately, so he remarried his wife."

"…………"

Qiao Xing scratched his head, feeling like his brain was on fire. "Would his wife agree to that too?"

"Of course he didn't want to. He threatened his ex-wife with their daughter. His ex-wife was afraid that her parents would find out about their daughter. In addition, the other man was also married and refused to divorce his wife to marry her, so she agreed."

Things got even more chaotic.

Is your industry really this chaotic?

Qin Ce was taken aback. "What does this have to do with me? He's not in my circle."

"Why not? You're driving someone else's car."

“I’ve always been abroad and have never been part of their circle, but even if I were, not everyone in that circle is so chaotic, only a portion of them.”

Qiao Xing looked at him suspiciously.

Qin Ce was unusually talkative and unusually gossipy today.

He never used to talk to her about these things, but today he actually talked about so much gossip about other people's families.

"By the way, let me ask you, did you tamper with my outstanding employee award and that car?"

"No," Qin Ce denied immediately.

I don't believe it.

"It really wasn't me. Think about all those boxes. How could I control you to draw a prize, how could I control you to win the first prize?"

Qiao Xing thought about it and agreed. She had drawn the prizes herself the whole time, unless Qin Ce knew some kind of crooked trick to control which prizes she drew.

"Alright, I'll believe you for now. But if you lie to me again, I will never forgive you!"

"Okay, sure." Qin Ce nodded truthfully, but then he realized what was happening and slammed on the brakes, pulling the car to the side of the road and looking sharply at Qiao Xing.

"So, you've already forgiven me?"

Qiao Xing twitched the corner of her mouth, turned her head away to avoid his gaze, and said awkwardly, "I'll think about it."

Qin Ce grasped her hand tightly. "Thank you, my dear wife."

Qiao Xing pulled her hand away from his. "Come on, let's drive."

"Okay." Qin Ce's expression finally brightened, and even the temperature inside the car seemed to rise several degrees.

As Qiao Xing watched the scenery rushing past outside, she suddenly said, "Your dad called me."

Qin Ce frowned. He didn't need to ask to know what Qin Liang would say to Qiao Xing.

"Don't worry about him."

Qiao Xing turned to look at him, her expression somewhat complicated, "He's your father, I..."

Qin Ce pulled the car over to the side of the road again. He looked intently at Qiao Xing and said in a deep voice, "Qiao Xing, he is not my father."

Qiao Xing was stunned.

Qin Ce took her hand and said, "They have been divorced for so many years, and I have never lived with him or had any father-son relationship with him. So you don't need to worry about my relationship with him."

"Don't be troubled by this. You can just treat his words as nonsense."

Qiao Xing twitched the corner of her mouth, "You...don't be so vulgar."

Qin Ce's gaze was very sincere. He held Qiao Xing's hand tightly and said, "I'm telling you the truth, even if you didn't, he and I would have clashed sooner or later. You don't need to worry about becoming a burden to me."

“Because we’re already together, if he wants to use you to control me, he can do the same thing if you leave me. In that case, I’ll be even less able to protect you. Do you understand what I mean?”

Qiao Xing's heart skipped a beat; she understood what Qin Ce meant.

His words dispelled the lingering gloom in Qiao Xing's heart.

Whether she divorces Qin Ce or not, it won't stop Qin Liang from using her, because it doesn't depend on her, but rather... on Qin Ce's feelings for her.

"I see."

Qin Ce also breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled slightly at Qiao Xing and asked, "Then, do you still have any concerns?"

Qiao Xing shook her head, then stretched out a hand and placed it on the back of the man's hand. "No more."

"Stop lying to me."

Qin Ce's eyes flickered. He still had Qiao Xing's ID card in his pocket, and at that moment he suddenly felt it weighed a ton.

He nodded slightly. "I promise you."

Qiao Xing smiled and said, "Alright, let's go back."

"Um."

I meant going back to Chongqing.

"I'll leave tonight."

"..."

"No... I said I was going back, but I didn't say I'd leave tonight. How about tomorrow? I'll leave tomorrow morning."

Qin Ce naturally had no objections; since he had already achieved his goal, it didn't matter whether he left or not.

When the two returned to the hotel, Qiao Xing did not chase Qin Ce away when he went into the room with her.

Qin Ce made another excuse, "Let's leave early tomorrow. I'll go get my things, and you can pack your things too. We'll leave as soon as we get up."

Qiao Xing nodded and quickly packed her things. She didn't have much stuff, so she just tidied up quickly.

When Qin Ce brought him over with his luggage, Qiao Xing suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Are you sleeping here tonight?"

Qin Ce's expression darkened, and a hint of hurt appeared in his eyes. "If you don't like it, I can go back to sleep. I'll come and wake you up first thing tomorrow morning."

Seeing him like this, Qiao Xing felt a little sorry for him.

She hesitated for a moment, then said, "How about we leave it here? You've already brought your things over."

"Will this bother you?"

"No way, I don't work, how could you bother me?"

Qin Ce nodded, still looking pitiful. "Okay, I'll sleep on the sofa, you sleep on the bed."

Why did he say everything he had to say?

When Qin Ce said that, Qiao Xing felt embarrassed to agree, as if she were being mean-spirited.

"No, we don't need them. We don't have any extra blankets."

"It's nothing, at most it's just a cold, it's not like I'll die."

Qiao Xing finally realized something was wrong. She grabbed a pillow and threw it at Qin Ce, yelling, "You're overacting!"

Qin Ce caught the pillow she threw at him and instantly put it back to normal. He walked to Qiao Xing's side and hugged her tightly. "I was wrong, don't be angry."

"Get out of my way!"

Qin Ce refused to let go of her, instead holding her even tighter. "Alright, don't be angry. I haven't slept with you in my arms for so long. I've been having insomnia every night."

"Liar! I'd be a fool to believe you. Go sleep on the sofa or go back to sleep!" Qiao Xing pushed him away and glared at him angrily.

Qin Ce rubbed his temples and sighed, "Alright."

This time it's for real, not an act.

I went too far with my performance just now, and now I regret it.

He obediently took the pillow Qiao Xing had thrown to him, tossed it onto the sofa, pulled over another sofa, sat down, put his feet up on the other sofa, hugged his arms, and prepared to sleep.

He was so self-aware that Qiao Xing didn't know what to say.

Aren't you going to eat?

Qin Ce closed his eyes and said, "I ordered food for you, I'm not hungry."

He really does have insomnia; he hasn't had a good night's sleep for several days, and he's really tired right now.

He has to drive tomorrow, and it's a long-distance trip, so he needs to get some sleep.
