Chapter 68 He's My Boss

"What?" Lin Shuang looked at him in surprise. "What are you yelling about?"

Zhang Zhe looked at Qin Ce.

Qin Ce frowned slightly, then shook his head almost imperceptibly.

Upon receiving a warning look from Qin Ce, Zhang Zhe trembled in fear.

"I... I haven't fought the boss in the game yet. I made plans to play games with someone..." Zhang Zhe explained, forcing himself to speak. He glanced at Qin Ce's expression, which had indeed improved.

As expected of a talent poached with a high salary, he understood what Qin Ce wanted to say with just a glance.

Zhang Zhe wished he could grow eight brains. He quickly went through the events in his mind. When he first met Qiao Xing, she didn't even know what her husband did.

Qin Ce is standing here now, without even driving a car, which clearly means he's deliberately concealing his identity.

Zhang Zhe sighed inwardly; he almost lost his job, what a close call!

Lin Shuang rolled her eyes. "All you ever do is play video games."

Zhang Zhe's sudden shout of "BOSS" made Lin Shuang feel a little uneasy, but most people wouldn't think of it that way.

Sometimes, before the truth is revealed, people only want to believe what they are willing to accept.

Wu Yun withdrew her infatuated gaze, coughed, and stepped forward to ask, "So you're Qiao Xing's husband? I've heard Qiao Xing mention you before, and today I finally get to meet you in person. Why didn't you go up earlier?"

Qin Ce glanced at her indifferently. "Not interested."

Wu Yun choked for a moment, cursing inwardly, "What a load of crap!"

But she still smiled and said, "It seems you're not one for crowds. But what happened just now? It looks like you got into a fight with Xiaobai's boyfriend?"

"He brought it on himself."

"Hehe..." Wu Yun laughed somewhat awkwardly. What a big mouth he was. "He's the nephew of the richest man in Chongqing. You just hit him, so this matter might not end well. You'd better be careful."

Qin Ce nodded slightly, then turned to Qiao Xing and asked, "Are you done gathering?"

Qiao Xing nodded blankly. Her mind was filled with Wu Yun's words about Qin Ce being the nephew of the richest man. What a mess Qin Ce had gotten himself into!

"Then let's go back."

After Qin Ce finished speaking, he took Qiao Xing's hand and led her to the roadside, where they hailed a taxi.

Everyone watched the taxi leave, exchanging bewildered glances.

One man couldn't help but complain, "Where did this idiot come from?"

"Who knew that young people these days are like this? They're hot-blooded and fearless, it's normal."

"Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who are wearing shoes."

Everyone else was showing off their superiority and their experience, but Zhang Zhe remained silent, his face pale.

"Shuangshuang, let's go too."

Lin Shuang looked at him suspiciously. She knew her boyfriend quite well, and something seemed off about him.

After getting into the car, Lin Shuang hesitated for a moment before asking, "Ah Zhe, do you know that Qin Ce?"

"Why……"

"Why are you sighing! Just say something!" Lin Shuang was getting impatient.

"After I tell you this, don't go around telling anyone else." Zhang Zheteng glanced at her, his face full of warning.

Lin Shuang's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly became nervous. "Go on," she said.

“He is…” Zhang Zhe gritted his teeth, still feeling a little uneasy, and said through gritted teeth, “He is my boss.”

Lin Shuang's eyes widened suddenly; she thought she had misheard. "What did you say?"

"He's my boss, the boss of S&C! Do you understand?" Zhang Zhe raised his voice. He never dreamed that his boss would play the role of pretending to be weak while actually being strong.

Lin Shuang stared blankly, unable to utter a word for a long time. In just one minute, she experienced several different emotions: jealousy, envy, shock, and a jumble of other feelings. She was completely overwhelmed.

After a long silence, she took a deep breath and said, trembling, "You're not kidding me, are you?"

Zhang Zhe said irritably, "Why would I joke with you? What's so funny about something like this?"

Zhang Zhe's words shattered the last thread of hope in Lin Shuang's heart. She slumped into a chair, staring blankly at the neon lights in front of her.

She murmured, "Qiao Xing's husband is you... boss."

"Hey, yeah, I didn't expect this either. Please don't tell your company about this, especially your colleague Qiao Xing, or I might lose my job."

"Why?" Lin Shuang asked, puzzled. Why hide such an impressive identity?

"How would I know what he's thinking? Just don't talk nonsense, and pretend you don't know anything, okay?"

"Oh." Lin Shuang lowered her head, staring at her fingers, her heart pounding, and many possibilities flashed through her mind.

Is Qin Ce hiding his identity and dating Qiao Xing?

A thought flashed through her mind: Did that mean Qin Ce hadn't fully accepted Qiao Xing yet?

Then she...

Is there a chance?

This idea startled Lin Shuang, and she glanced guiltily at Zhang Zhe beside her.

Zhang Zhe is actually quite handsome, but now when she looks at him, she suddenly feels a bit disgusted.

Look at his hair, he's almost bald, and the nasolabial folds on his face are so deep they could probably trap a mosquito. And his shoulders, he even hunches over when he drives.

Then look at Qin Ce. He stood straight and calm in the face of danger. His disdain for all living beings made him the perfect domineering, rich, and handsome CEO.

And he's not just your average rich and handsome guy; he's capable, talented, and able to manage such a large company, with a net worth of hundreds of billions...

Lin Shuang shook her head. The more she thought about it, the more outrageous it seemed. Although these were all just her imagination, she still couldn't help but keep thinking about it.

Once you have a filter on someone, you can't shake it off.

Just like when she was with Zhang Zhe, even though he wasn't her type, she found herself liking him after hearing that he earned a million a year.

On the other side...

Qiao Xing looked at Qin Ce with concern. She was extremely anxious. Why was Qin Ce still so calm?

"Um... Qin Ce, will that rich kid cause you trouble?"

Qiao Xing thought for a moment and then said, "Let's call the police. This kind of person is not someone to be trifled with."

Qin Ce turned to look at her and reassured her, "It's alright, don't worry."

"But..." How could she not worry?

She had only ever seen these rich kids on TV and online; this was the first time she had ever met one in real life. Online, people were far away, so everyone could make fun of them freely.

But when you get offline, do you think those keyboard warriors online will still dare to talk nonsense in front of people?

The opponent's strength is undeniable; killing an ordinary person would be far too easy for them.

"Alright, don't think too much about it. I've kept the evidence, he won't cause me any trouble," Qin Ce casually made up.

However, this matter still needs to be dealt with. He is not afraid of Jiang Wang causing him trouble, but he is afraid that Jiang Wang will use underhanded tricks to deal with the people around him, such as Qiao Xing.

Thinking of this, he suddenly spoke up, "Driver, stop the car."

The driver smoothly brought the car to a stop on the side of the road. Qin Ce asked Qiao Xing, "You haven't been drinking, have you?"

Qiao Xing shook his head.

Qin Ce hummed in agreement. "Then you go back first, I have something to do."

As he spoke, he opened the car door and got out. Qiao Xing hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"

"You go back first, I have an appointment." After Qin Ce finished speaking, he closed the car door and instructed the driver to drive.

"Qin Ce..." Qiao Xing was about to chase after him, but the car had already driven off.
