Due to issues with the betrothal gift, Qiao Xing's two-year relationship with her boyfriend collapsed overnight. Feeling disheartened, her elderly neighbor insisted his grandson go on a blind d...

Chapter 795 You don't want to eat the food I cook?

Wang Ye listened for a long time but still didn't understand what Qiao Xing meant. "Cousin, can you be more direct?"

Qiao Xingxin said wearily, "To put it bluntly, you and Bai Yi are not really together right now, so even if you treat her well, she can't accept it with a clear conscience. Bai Yi is the one who suffers the most in this matter. If she doesn't pursue it, she is the one who gets hurt. If she pursues it, the matter started because of her. Do you understand?"

Wang Ye remained silent, and Qiao Xing was unsure whether he had understood.

She kindly advised Wang Ye, "So, cousin, it's impossible for Bai Yi to stop caring about these things. The fact that she can calmly hide away is already her biggest concession. Otherwise, if it were someone else, they would have already started fighting with Aunt."

Wang Ye seemed to understand what Qiao Xing meant.

Bai Yi is not the type to passively accept things as they are; no one can endure such humiliation indefinitely.

She didn't explode for two reasons: first, she didn't want the situation to escalate and put Wang Ye in a difficult position; second, she genuinely had no feelings for Wang Ye, which was the root cause of this series of events.

Wang Ye lamented on the phone, "What should I do? I can't really agree to her divorcing me, can I? That won't do, I absolutely will not agree."

Qiao Xing said with a smile, "Since you don't want a divorce, then let Bai Yi find a way to know how good you are. Once she really falls in love with you, won't she be reluctant to get a divorce?"

Wang Ye immediately retorted, unconvinced, "I haven't been good enough to her! She owes me so much money and I haven't even asked her for interest!"

Qiao Xing was speechless.

If Wang Ye were in front of her right now, she would definitely be tempted to give him a tap on the head.

Qiao Xing said, "Anyway, I've analyzed everything for you. The rest is up to you. But I have to remind you, cousin, if you can't guarantee that something like what happened today won't happen again, and if you can't keep Bai Yi's heart, then she might be snatched away by someone else!"

It goes without saying who this person is referring to.

Just then, Qin Ce's voice came from the doorway, "I'm back."

He stood at the doorway changing his shoes, looked up, and saw Qiao Xing on the balcony making a phone call.

Qiao Xing said to Wang Ye, "Cousin, I have to go now, I'm hanging up."

Wang Ye was hoping to chat with Qiao Xing a little longer, but she hung up the phone very quickly.

But he quickly pondered what Qiao Xing had said, wondering how he should handle the situation between him and Bai Yi.

The most important thing now is to calm Bai Yi down and stop her from getting a divorce.

Qiao Xing is right. If he and Bai Yi continue like this, divorce is only a matter of time.

They're not even divorced yet, and Bai Yi already has people swarming around her. If she really goes back to being single, what will happen?

Wang Ye scratched his head, his mind a complete mess.

To be honest, when he was renovating the hot pot restaurant, there were a lot of big and small issues, but he had never been as annoyed as he is now.

Qiao Xing was a little surprised to see Qin Ce return. "Didn't you say you had a meeting at noon and wouldn't be coming back?"

Grandpa Qin was called away for tea by Grandpa Meng today and hasn't returned yet. There's still more than an hour until lunchtime, and the housekeeper hasn't arrived either. I didn't expect Qin Ce to come back at this time.

Qin Ce took off his coat and hung it up, habitually rolling up the cuffs to his forearms. "I finished early, so I came back."

He asked Qiao Xing, "Who were you talking to on the phone just now?"

"My cousin."

Qin Ce asked doubtfully, "Did he want to see you?"

"It's a long story, I'll tell you in a bit."

Qin Ce didn't ask any further questions, but instead walked into the kitchen. "What do you want for lunch? I'll make it for you."

"Auntie will be here soon, please let her do it."

Qin Ce glanced at her. "You don't want to eat the food I cooked?"

"No, you're overthinking it."

She just felt that since she was spending money, she should spend it wisely.

Qin Ce is already tired enough from work, and then he has to cook for her when he gets home. This makes her feel like the money she spent on hiring a housekeeper was wasted.

Qin Ce took the fruit out of the refrigerator, washed and cut it, put it on a plate, stuck a few toothpicks in it, and then placed it on the coffee table in the living room.

"Eat more fruit to supplement vitamins, which is good for children."

Qiao Xing glanced at the fruit but didn't touch it.

She was wondering whether or not to tell Qin Ce that Bai Yi was currently at their house.

Suddenly, the bedroom door opened, and Bai Yi walked out.

Qin Ce was clearly taken aback when he saw Bai Yi.

Bai Yi had the same expression on her face, but it quickly turned into embarrassment.

"President Qin..." Bai Yi greeted Qin Ce awkwardly.

Qin Ce nodded to her, then glanced at Qiao Xing with a questioning look in his eyes.

Qiao Xing leaned closer and whispered to him, "It's not convenient to say now, I'll tell you in a bit."

The redness and swelling on Bai Yi's face had subsided considerably, and the handprint was no longer visible unless you looked closely.

She didn't want to trouble Qiao Xing any longer, so she said, "Qiao Xing, thank you for taking care of me today. I won't bother you any longer, I'll head back now."

Qiao Xing stopped her, "You haven't eaten yet, eat before you go."

With Qin Ce around, Bai Yi felt a little uncomfortable. "No, I'll eat at home..."

Qiao Xing noticed her awkwardness and joked, "He's a very good cook. Very few people can eat the food made by the famous President Qin. If you miss this opportunity, you won't be able to eat it again next time."

Qin Ce was washing vegetables when he heard this. He turned his head to look at her, his eyes filled with helplessness, but even more so with doting affection.

Qiao Xing sat down on the sofa with Bai Yi and said, "Eat some fruit first. The meal should be ready soon. Of all things, eating is the most important. No matter what, you can't solve a problem on an empty stomach."

These were the words that Grandpa Qin said to her most often back then.

Qiao Xing remembered it clearly.

She firmly believes that there is nothing in this world that cannot be solved by having a full stomach.

If so, it means you haven't eaten enough.

The fruit in the fruit platter was cut very evenly. Although it wasn't as fancy as the fruit platter on TV, you could still tell that the person who cut the fruit platter put a lot of care into it.

Without asking, Bai Yi knew that it must have been Qin Ce who cut it.

Bai Yi was shocked when he first learned about Qin Ce. After all, he held a certain status in both Chongqing and Beijing, and his net worth was something that some ordinary people could not catch up to even in several lifetimes.

But when Bai Yi learned that such a person had chosen to marry Qiao Xing, her level of shock increased many times over.

It's not unusual to have money or good looks, but it's truly admirable to have money, good looks, and a willingness to hide one's identity and live a simple yet happy life with someone.
