Chapter 503 Cannot be eaten

Qin Ce's expression also began to betray his inner turmoil.

Although he didn't want to discourage her, he still said, "Let's cancel."

Qiao Xing shook her head vigorously, "No, custom-made items cannot be returned."

Qin Ce wanted to throw it away, but then he thought that since the thing had Qiao Xing's face on it, if he threw it away and someone else saw it or picked it up, it would be even more unpleasant than if he used it himself.

Qiao Xing picked up a bed sheet from the sofa and covered the doll with it. "You, you try it yourself."

"I don't want to." Qin Ce refused decisively.

"Why?"

Qin Ce tossed the doll to Qiao Xing, saying, "There's no reason why, I just don't want it."

Qiao Xing looked at him dejectedly, holding the doll in her arms, feeling helpless. Wasn't he going to use this before?

Did I misunderstand him?

"Then what should we do about this?"

Qin Ce said, "Pack it up and put it in another room."

He doesn't want it, and it feels strange to keep it at home.

Before Qiao Xing could react, Qin Ce had already grabbed the doll and walked towards the box. The doll even made a sound, which made Qiao Xing extremely embarrassed.

Qin Ce quickly packed the doll back into its box and went to the next room.

Qiao Xing felt her heart bleed when she saw how roughly he handled the package; it was worth 20,000 yuan.

Qiao Xing didn't know where he had put the things; she only saw him come out empty-handed, and she stared at him longingly.

What should we eat tonight?

Qiao Xing shook her head. "I don't know."

Qin Ce thought for a moment, then pulled her up from the sofa. "Then let's go out to buy groceries and take you for a walk."

Qin Ce thought that he was at work during the day and she was bored at home by herself, and he didn't have time to keep her company, so he simply took her to buy groceries and take a walk with her.

He read in a book that pregnant women should walk around more so that childbirth will be smoother.

Qiao Xing had no idea what he was thinking. She went because he asked her to. After all, she had known him for so long that she couldn't possibly read his mind or tell what he was thinking from his facial expressions.

Most of the time, this person has no expression on their face, which frightens children.

After the two left the residential area, Qin Ce drove her to a nearby supermarket. There were too many people at the farmers' market, so Qin Ce didn't dare to take her there now.

Upon arriving at the mall, Qiao Xing instinctively took his arm, and Qin Ce grabbed a shopping cart, pushing it through the supermarket.

The supermarket wasn't crowded, but it wasn't sparse either; it was just not as crowded as a wet market.

Qiao Xing reached for the potato chips, but suddenly a long, slender hand reached past her and pressed down on the bag of chips.

She turned around and saw Qin Ce.

Qin Ce said, "We can't eat it."

Qiao Xing's face fell. "I haven't eaten in a long time."

"Bear with it, I'll find you some healthy snacks later, okay?"

Hearing his coaxing tone, Qiao Xing twitched the corners of her mouth. Before she was pregnant, Qin Ce did have a fatherly feel to him, and he would control some things for her, but at least he wouldn't restrict what she ate.

Now that she's pregnant, he's extremely strict about what she eats, whether it's meals or snacks, he keeps an eye on her.

Of course, Qiao Xing didn't dare to buy it secretly, for fear that he would be unhappy if he found out.

Qiao Xing pursed her lips, sheepishly averting her gaze to the row of shelves. She asked, "Isn't there anything here I can eat?"

Qin Ce glanced at it and shook his head mercilessly.

Qiao Xing lowered her head.

Qin Ce suddenly took a bag of dried fruit from the side, glanced at the ingredient list and brand, and then put it in the shopping cart.

You can eat this.

Qiao Xing blinked, took it out and looked at it. Well, it's better than nothing.

Qin Ce went around again and brought her a few snacks that were barely edible, about seven or eight bags in total.

Qin Ce looked at Qiao Xing, "Is it ready?"

Qiao Xing nodded like a chick chasing after grains of rice, then immediately beamed with joy, "Okay, okay."

"Then let's go buy groceries."

"Uh-huh."

Qin Ce put one arm around her and pushed the shopping cart toward the vegetable section with the other.

He was tall with broad shoulders and long legs, and wearing a black shirt, he was a unique sight wherever he went.

Every girl who passed by couldn't help but glance at him; it seemed that such a handsome guy was a rare sight in a supermarket like this.

Qiao Xing also noticed those gazes and felt a little embarrassed. Those people must think she was not good enough for Qin Ce, and that all the good men had been taken by pigs.

The two strolled around the supermarket and bought a cart full of groceries.

Qin Ce carried large and small bags to the new house and cooked there. The furniture for the house was almost all bought, except for a dining table.

This dining table is actually okay, but it doesn't feel like it matches the rest of the house or the new furniture she bought. After all, it's such an expensive house, it would be a waste not to decorate it properly.

Qiao Xing followed him into the restaurant, smiling as she looked at him, "Look, I've changed all the cookware."

Qin Ce nodded. "Not bad."

Do you like it?

"like."

Qiao Xing specially changed to black kitchen utensils, which matched his temperament very well, and this made him feel much better when he was cooking.

Qin Ce took the vegetables out of the bag. "Okay, you can go now. There's too much smoke in here."

Qiao Xing nodded, turned around and walked out.

Just as she sat down outside and before she could even ask her husband if he had taken his medicine, her aunt called. Qiao Xing was a little startled to see her caller ID.

In the past, my aunt's phone calls were never good news, but I hope things won't be the same now.

She answered the phone, and her aunt's voice came through first, "Xingxing, are you free this weekend?"

Qiao Xing didn't dare to answer that question, and instead asked, "Is there something you need?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing. It's just that we haven't seen you for a long time, and Xiaoqin misses you too, so we wanted to arrange a time to come and see you. How about this weekend? Are you free?"

Qiao Xing hesitated for a moment, then said, "I think so."

"That's great, it's settled then, we'll come see you this weekend."

Qiao Xing sighed, "Okay."

As long as you have nothing to do, you can contact her for anything. It would be best if she just came to visit. Anyway, Qiao Xing has nothing to do right now and is bored to death at home every day.

"Okay, then I won't keep you from resting any longer."

Aunt hung up quickly on the phone, then called Wang Ye. Now that Qin Ce was going to help Wang Ye, she also wanted to improve her son's image.

Wang Ye was still out running around, but he immediately agreed after hearing her words. He was originally going to find Qin Ce as well.

Qiao Xing stared blankly at the phone, wondering what her aunt was looking for this time of year. She never came to her aunt's place without a reason.

But considering the changes she had made during this time, Qiao Xing didn't want to refuse her.

Qin Ce brought out the dishes and saw her staring blankly, so he called her twice.

Qiao Xing snapped out of her daze, looked up at him, and asked, "Oh, what's wrong?"

"Dinner's ready, what are you spacing out for?"

Qiao Xing put away her phone and got up, walking with him to the restaurant. "It's nothing, my aunt said she's coming to see me this weekend, I don't know what she's going to do."

"It might be related to Wang Ye."
