Chapter 649 What's the difference between this and being kicked out?

After Bai Yi told her what had happened, things finally calmed down for a few days.

After a three-day trial period, Wang Ye's hot pot restaurant gradually got on track.

Although it's not peak season, business is still pretty good. Since they've hired staff, Wang Ye doesn't have to worry too much.

He spends his days checking the store's revenue, ensuring food safety, and maintaining the hygiene of his own store.

After helping out at the store for two days, Bai Yi went to the branch store.

Xiao Lin spent a day in the hospital and was discharged.

Yang Han initially did not support Xiao Lin's discharge from the hospital, but he couldn't persuade her otherwise, and the two started arguing again after only a few words.

Yang Han still loves Xiao Lin in the end. Although she is sometimes angry that Xiao Lin doesn't listen to her, she doesn't want their relationship to get worse because of this.

But this compromise only made Yang Han more frustrated.

Finally, he simply called Qin Ce and asked him to come out for drinks.

Since Qiao Xing became pregnant, Qin Ce has tried his best to reduce his social engagements.

Han Yan handles many things at the company. When Qin Ce received Yang Han's call, he initially wanted to refuse, but considering Yang Han's recent condition, he agreed.

Before he went to see Yang Han, he called Qiao Xing first. Qiao Xing, upon learning that he was going to see Yang Han, had no objections. Instead, she told Qin Ce:

"You should also advise Yang Han to stop dwelling on this matter. Xiao Lin also has her own reasons for not being able to do it. It would be bad if the two of them ended up having some irreconcilable conflict because of this."

"Yes, I know."

Qin Ce didn't hang up the phone, but suddenly asked, "What are you doing?"

Upon hearing his words, Qiao Xing subconsciously glanced at the computer she was holding and felt a little guilty.

It's strange, even though Qin Ce is on the other end of the phone, he can't see anything.

But she still had the feeling that he was standing right in front of her.

Qiao Xing lied without changing her expression, "I didn't do anything. I just ate dinner and was about to watch a TV series."

"real?"

Qiao Xing never expected Qin Ce to press her for answers, especially with a skeptical tone.

Has he discovered that she's been secretly working?

Qiao Xing thought about it and felt it was impossible. She had been deliberately avoiding Qin Ce, or doing those things when he wasn't around.

Qin Ce didn't install any cameras on her, so even if he was incredibly skilled, he couldn't possibly discover things he hadn't seen.

So Qiao Xing quickly told herself not to overthink it and answered Qin Ce in a normal tone, "Really, what else could I do?"

Qin Ce hummed in agreement and said, "Don't stay up too late. Pregnant women shouldn't look at electronic devices too much."

Qiao Xing said, "I understand."

After Qin Ce hung up the phone, he held his phone and stared at it quietly for a while. Then, as if he had thought of something, he gave a helpless laugh.

Yang Han arrived early; by the time Qin Ce arrived, he had already drunk two or three bottles of wine.

He's a man who's dealt with all sorts of people, so his alcohol tolerance is pretty good. He drank two or three bottles and showed no signs of drunkenness.

As soon as Qin Ce entered, he couldn't help but complain, "Why did you take so long? We've been waiting for you for ages."

Qin Ce took off his coat, handed it to Xing Jiu, and said, "Go outside and wait for me."

"OK."

Xing Jiu left, closing the door behind her.

Yang Han was about to call the waiter to bring some more wine, but Qin Ce stopped her, saying, "No need, I don't want to drink."

Although Yang Han wasn't drunk, the alcohol was taking effect, and he said with dissatisfaction, "What are you doing here if you're not going to drink?"

Qin Ce picked up the juice on the table, took a sip, and looked Yang Han up and down. "Looking at you, people who don't know you would think that Xiao Lin kicked you out."

Yang Han smiled bitterly, "What's the difference between me and being kicked out now?"

He seemed to have been touched on a sore spot, took a big gulp of wine, and began to complain to Qin Ce, "I just don't understand. I'm thinking about her, I'm worried about her, I'm worried about her health, so I advised her to put down her work, but why won't she listen? Why can't she think about me? I'm her husband, why does she never consider my feelings!"

Qin Ce remained silent, listening quietly as he vented his grievances.

Yang Han took another sip of her drink and continued, "She thinks I care about her because of the baby in her belly. She thinks I only care about the baby. Sometimes I really want to curse her! Did she ever consider my feelings when she said that? Is that how she sees me, Yang Han?!"

"What do you think I'm angry about! I'm angry that she doesn't believe me! When we argue, she never realizes that I do this because I care about her, because I love her. She always talks about her own thoughts and decisions, and she always says I'm selfish. You be the judge, who's more selfish between us!"

As Yang Han spoke, her eyes welled up with tears, and her voice became increasingly agitated, sounding like a wailing ghost. It was hard to tell whether she was really crying or faking it, but it was still very heartbreaking to watch.

But Qin Ce felt no sympathy for him at all, and instead kicked him, saying, "That's enough. What kind of man cries like this?"

He shouldn't have said anything, because once he did, Yang Han couldn't hold back anymore. "Look at you, even you are speaking up for Xiao Lin. Nobody ever cares about me, nobody!"

Yang Han's heart shattered into many pieces. He even hated himself for having such a high alcohol tolerance and for never getting drunk. If he were drunk, he wouldn't have to think about anything.

Qin Ce knew that he was doing this purely to indulge himself.

Everyone has emotions, and Yang Han is no exception; it's just that everyone expresses and vents their emotions in different ways.

Although Yang Han's approach was somewhat naive, at least it made her feel a little better.

But Qin Ce didn't want to indulge his bad habit, because it wasn't a big deal, but he made it seem like Xiao Lin was going to divorce him tomorrow.

He asked Yang Han, "If Xiao Lin really stopped going out to work, stayed home and obediently gave birth to the child, becoming a full-time housewife, would you be willing?"

Yang Han muttered, "I don't want her to be a full-time housewife. I just want her to consider working after she has given birth."

With Yang Han and Xiao Lin's circumstances, raising children is not a problem for them at all.

Qin Ce smiled helplessly, "You're thinking too simply. Yes, I know that with your abilities and resources, raising a child is not a problem at all, but you've forgotten the most crucial point: what children need most is not affluent material conditions, but companionship."

Yang Han immediately fell silent.

“Do you think Xiao Lin will still have the mind to work after this child is born? Even if taking care of the child doesn’t require her to worry about anything else, what about other aspects? This is your child, not an object. Just because you think you’ve given him the best doesn’t mean he has to think it’s the best.”
