Chapter 75 She actually disliked him!

Qiao Xing couldn't decipher the look in his eyes, so she waved her hand in front of his face. "Qin Ce, what's wrong?"

"I'm sorry, I made you worry. I shouldn't have come to see Jiang Wang without telling you."

Qin Ce snapped out of his daze, sighed silently, and shook his head, saying, "No need to apologize, I'm the one who should apologize."

Qiao Xing shook her head repeatedly, "No, you did nothing wrong. We don't cause trouble, but we can't be afraid of trouble. If that Jiang Wang takes advantage of his money and power to beat you, you can't just stand there and let him beat you, can you?"

At this point, she looked intently at Qin Ce and said seriously, "So you didn't do anything wrong."

Qin Ce twitched the corner of his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"Qiao Xing, what would you do if I told you that I'm actually the same kind of person as Jiang Wang?"

Qin Ce tentatively asked this question.

Qiao Xing paused, clearly not understanding Qin Ce's meaning. She said with amusement, "You're not like him at all. He's just an arrogant and domineering rich kid who relies on his family's wealth."

“But you are different. You are an upright and outstanding person. You have not only studied abroad and have real talent, but you are also low-key and polite. How can you be the same as him?”

Qin Ce's expression became even more complicated upon hearing these words.

"I mean, what if I were like Jiang Wang, an arrogant and domineering second-generation rich kid who relies on his family's wealth?" Qin Ce asked again.

Qiao Xing's smile faded slightly. She stared blankly at Qin Ce for a while before her smile returned: "Why are you saying these things out of the blue?"

"Just asking, pretend I didn't say anything." Qin Ce turned around and added, "I'm going back."

Qiao Xing stared at his back, and for some reason, he felt that he looked somewhat lonely.

Qiao Xing caught up with him and said, "Qin Ce, a person is who he is, there are no 'what ifs' about it."

"Even if there were a 'what if,' if you were that kind of person, we probably wouldn't get married."

Qin Ce suddenly stopped and stared straight at Qiao Xing. "Why?"

Qiao Xing smiled, looking completely matter-of-fact, "Because you look down on me."

I was just chatting with Jiang Wang. How could someone like him, who treats women as playthings and transactions, possibly marry someone he doesn't know well?

For families like theirs, even marriage is a matter of matching social status. How many poor Cinderellas in this world can climb up to a high social class?

Even if it were true, life in a wealthy family isn't as idyllic as one might imagine.

Qin Ce was taken aback for a moment, then coughed lightly to cover his embarrassment.

To be honest, he didn't like her at first.

Even her performance last night caused her to lose all respect in his eyes.

Although it was a reality, it was also a fact, so he did not refute Qiao Xing.

"Alright, let's go back. I think Jiang Wang shouldn't cause us any more trouble."

As Qiao Xing spoke, she naturally took Qin Ce's arm.

Now, in her eyes, Qin Ce is just a friend. The longer they spend together, the stronger her image of him as a homosexual becomes.

Qin Ce glanced at the hand linked with his, his feelings a little complicated.

She didn't know when it started, but her attitude towards him began to change, from being reserved to being relaxed and affectionate.

Despite their intimate actions, he still couldn't sense any affection from Qiao Xing.

Four words popped into his mind—"playing hard to get."

But he quickly suppressed it, after all, the lesson learned from last night was still fresh in his mind.

The two took a taxi back, and on the way, Qiao Xing couldn't help but ask him about his work again.

How's work been lately?

"It's alright, why do you always ask this question?"

Qiao Xing chuckled twice and explained, "Ah... I was just asking casually. If you're unhappy with your job, you can consider changing jobs."

"No need, I enjoy my work."

"All right…"

Qiao Xing twitched the corner of his mouth and said no more. Perhaps Lin Shuang's information was wrong, and he might not have been eliminated at all.

Even if he cares a lot about his reputation, he shouldn't be so desperate as to cling to S&C and starve, right?

The two returned home at 10 p.m., and Qin Ce took her to his grandfather's house.

Grandpa Qin was still awake, waiting for the two of them with a table full of dishes.

This is the takeout Qin Ce ordered. Before the takeout arrived, he went to find Qiao Xing.

Qiao Xing felt a little guilty because Qin Ce had come to find her, causing Grandpa Qin to wait for her so late.

"I'm so sorry, Grandpa. It's all my fault that you're still up so late."

Grandpa Qin smiled and waved his hand, "Why talk about that? Eat quickly, and go back to sleep early."

Qiao Xing nodded, picked up his chopsticks, and quickly ate his meal.

She took out her phone to check if there were any work-related messages in the group, but instead saw a friend request.

Upon clicking, I found that the other party had added me through a phone number search, but there was no note, and the profile picture was a cartoon boy.

Who is this?

Qiao Xing hesitated for a moment, then clicked "accept," and then opened the other person's Moments...

The first post on my WeChat Moments was of a red Ferrari.

Scroll down further, and you'll find pool parties with lots of handsome men and beautiful women. The last item is a photo of someone riding in a helicopter.

Then it says 'Friends only show one month's worth of activity,' and that's it.

Qiao Xing already had a vague idea of ​​who it was, and she hesitated whether to ask.

But since the other party didn't send any messages, she felt it was best not to provoke this person.

Qin Ce came in after showering and saw Qiao Xing holding her phone with a troubled expression. While drying his hair, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Qiao Xing snapped out of her daze and quickly said, "Oh, Jiang Wang seems to have added me. That's strange, why did he add me?"

Qiao Xing was certainly not narcissistic enough to think that Jiang Wang had taken a liking to her. In his eyes, she was a married woman, and with so many beautiful women around him, how could he possibly be interested in a married woman like her?

That's why she found it strange.

Qin Ce frowned, then suddenly said, "Delete it."

"Huh? Why?" Qiao Xing looked at him, puzzled. "Maybe he has something to ask me."

Qiao Xing vaguely remembered that Jiang Wang had been acting strangely at the KTV. Now she seemed to realize what was wrong.

It was Jiang Wang's attitude towards Qin Ce that made him seem somewhat afraid of Qin Ce.

Was it just her imagination?

Qin Ce casually draped a towel over the chair and said with a stern face, "What could he possibly want?"

"Uh..." Qiao Xing suddenly noticed his open collar and forgot what she was going to say.

He was wearing a bathrobe, and his abs were clearly visible through the open collar.

Because she had just taken a shower, her skin was still flushed, and above that were her delicate collarbones, her sexy Adam's apple, and stray strands of hair...

What a beautiful picture of a handsome man emerging from a bath!

It's a pity, he only likes men.

Thinking of this, Qiao Xing sighed, and she suddenly remembered what she had read online.

It seems the saying that all the handsome guys are "internalized" is true. Although Qin Ce hasn't been "internalized" yet, given his physique and looks, he probably will be soon.

Hearing Qiao Xing's sigh, Qin Ce became unsettled.

What does she mean?

His physique doesn't meet her standards?
