Chapter 461 Aren't you going out?

She studied it for a long time but couldn't find the curtains. She was too embarrassed to wash them because there were people downstairs, and she didn't know if they would look up and see her taking a shower there.

Qiao Xing dawdled and came out again, still clutching her pajamas.

"So fast?" Qin Ce noticed the pajamas in her arms and realized she hadn't washed them at all. "What happened?"

Qiao Xing said awkwardly, "I can't find the bed curtains, could you help me pull them down?"

Qin Ce chuckled, got up and went into the bathroom. He stood by the window and looked down. "People outside can't see you. This is a one-way window that's been modified. Even if the lights are on, people outside can't see inside."

"Really?"

"real."

Qiao Xing was still a little embarrassed, "But I still feel a bit of pressure."

“Then lower the curtains here.” He walked to the bathtub, leaned forward, and pressed a button that looked like a switch.

Hearing the noise, Qiao Xing looked up and saw that a crack had suddenly opened in the previously smooth ceiling, and white curtains were slowly descending.

No wonder she couldn't find the curtains for so long; they were hidden in the ceiling.

Qin Ce also demonstrated how to use the button. Pressing it once lowers or raises the curtain, pressing it again while scrolling fixes the height, and pressing it twice opens it to the sides, just like the curtains they usually see.

Qiao Xing was amazed; even a curtain could be so high-tech.

After Qin Ce finished demonstrating, he turned to look at her and said, "The curtains in this villa are all open like this."

"Okay, I understand."

After saying that, the two stared at each other for a moment. Qiao Xing blinked and asked, "Aren't you going out?"

Qin Ce stood there motionless, staring intently at her. "I'm afraid you'll encounter something you don't know how to do later, so I'll stay here and watch over you."

"I know it all, you can leave now!"

Qin Ce's gaze swept over her. "It's not like I haven't seen it before."

Qiao Xing blushed and pushed Qin Ce to leave, saying, "Get out of here! What are you doing here? We can't do anything right now."

Qin Ce didn't want to leave at first, but after hearing her last sentence, he followed her hand and stepped out.

Qiao Xing quickly closed the door, grabbed her pajamas, and went to study how to get wet in the rain.

Hearing the sound of water inside, Qin Ce sighed and returned to his desk somewhat dejectedly. He turned on his computer and tried to focus his attention on his work.

Qiao Xing finished showering as quickly as possible. She came out while drying her hair. Although she wasn't sleepy yet, she forced herself to fall asleep because she knew she couldn't get up too late the next morning.

She was lying in bed when she saw Qin Ce still typing on the keyboard. She called out, "Aren't you going to sleep yet?"

"You go to sleep first."

Qiao Xing said "oh," grabbed the blanket and covered herself up, closing her eyes and trying to fall asleep.

She tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. Although her eyelids were too heavy to open, she was wide awake when her eyes were closed.

Qin Ce turned around and glanced at her, then looked at the time; it was already past midnight.

He thought for a moment, shut down the computer, sat down next to her, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Can't sleep?"

Qiao Xing opened her eyes and nodded. "I had insomnia."

He stroked her hair, then reached under the covers with his other hand to hold hers. "You can't stay up late now."

Qiao Xing sighed, "I know, I can't sleep."

Qin Ce was silent for a moment, then pulled her into his arms. "Sleep like this."

Qiao Xing smelled his scent, and her heart stirred slightly, and the unease she felt dissipated considerably.

She wrapped her arms around his waist and closed her eyes again, nestled close to him.

Thinking about this place always makes me feel like there's a stone weighing on my heart, and I can't sleep soundly. But with him by my side, I managed to drift off to sleep.

Qiao Xing woke up before dawn the next day.

She found herself with her head on Qin Ce's lap, and he was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, asleep leaning against the headboard.

Qiao Xing moved slightly, and her arm felt a little numb.

As soon as she moved, Qin Ce woke up too. He looked down at Qiao Xing and asked, "You woke up so early?"

Qiao Xing rubbed her eyes and got out of bed, embarrassed. "Why did you fall asleep sitting here?"

"It's okay, I was just afraid of waking you up. But it's still early, why don't you get some more sleep?"

Qiao Xing took out his phone and glanced at it. It was still early, only a little past five o'clock.

That means she slept for less than three hours, but she really can't fall asleep now.

"Forget it, I'm not going to sleep." The thought of meeting Qin Ce's father soon made her tense. "Um, what should I call your father?"

Qin Ce thought about this question carefully for a while, after all, he himself had never called his father "Dad".

"Shout whatever you want."

"Is it okay if I call him uncle?"

"It doesn't matter."

Seeing his calm attitude, Qiao Xing felt a little more at ease.

She got up and washed up, wanting Qin Ce to take her for a walk. She hesitated, thinking that getting up early was better than them getting up late.

It was barely dawn outside; it seemed to get light earlier here than in Chongqing. In Chongqing, it would still be dark at this time.

She followed Qin Ce downstairs and encountered many people, but they were all servants who had gotten up early and were working.

She would greet Qin Ce when she saw him, and then look at Qiao Xing hesitantly, unsure of how to address him.

Qin Ce didn't need to explain to them; they would know when the time came. So he pulled Qiao Xing and walked outside.

After the two left, people gathered in twos and threes to discuss who the woman was.

Few people here know that Qin Ce is married, so they all guess that she is Qin Ce's girlfriend and remember her appearance.

The scenery inside this villa is so beautiful, so clean and tidy, with lots of trees planted, and you can hardly see any leaves on the ground.

"Wow, it's huge!" Qiao Xing exclaimed.

Qin Ce looked around and realized that it was indeed much bigger than their home in Chongqing.

There are many ponds in this yard, and they are all connected. In the small ponds, you can see koi of different colors, as well as other creatures, such as turtles.

Qiao Xing never dreamed that he would one day be able to stroll around in such a big villa.

After walking around for a while, she became sleepy and yawned, saying, "Let's go back, I'm tired."

Qin Ce raised his hand and glanced at his watch; it was past six o'clock.

"Let's go."

When I returned to the living room, Qin Liang was already up and was reading the newspaper on a chair outside the living room.

Qiao Xing only saw his back, but she could already tell his identity from his aura. She subconsciously tightened her grip on Qin Ce's hand.

Qin Ce actually wanted to ignore him and enter the house, but as he was passing by him, Qin Liang spotted Qiao Xing at a glance.

He looked this way, and Qiao Xing met his eyes. She was completely captivated.

Qin Liang had seen her photos, but there was still a difference between the photos and the real person. He glanced at Qiao Xing several times, said nothing, and looked away, waiting for Qiao Xing to take the initiative to go up and greet him.
