Chapter 80: The Man's Desire to Conquer is at Play

"How familiar are we?" Qin Ce glanced at him.

Jiang Wang proudly raised his head and held up an eight, saying, "Let me put it this way, I can change eight girlfriends a month."

Yang Han sneered: "You're so awesome! Believe me or not, I'll have my aunt cancel your cards and see if you still have eight left in a month!"

Jiang Wang shrank his neck and chuckled, "Just kidding, just kidding, Brother Ce, but I'm serious. What trouble are you in? I promise I'll solve it for you!"

Qin Ce glanced at Jiang Wang suspiciously.

Seeing Qin Ce's eagerness to try, Yang Han hurriedly dissuaded him: "Old Qin, you should think it over! If you listen to him, you might end up with nothing."

"Cousin, what right do you have to comment on this? Do you think you know more about women than I do?"

"..." Yang Han rolled her eyes and laughed in annoyance.

"You tell me first." Qin Ce ignored the two's quarrel and focused his gaze on Jiang Wang.

Jiang Wang immediately perked up and said in a serious tone, "Throw money at it!"

"..."

"Pfft..." Yang Han couldn't help but laugh out loud. "See, I told you so."

Jiang Wang got anxious, "What are you laughing at? It's just a matter of throwing money at it."

He waved to the beautiful woman singing over there, "Come here."

The beautiful woman quickly stood up, came to Jiang Wang's side, and sat down obediently.

Jiang Wang pulled a bank card out of his pocket. "There's 500,000 in here. Be my girlfriend."

The girl was somewhat taken aback, but then her expression changed to one of delight. "Really? Really?"

"Do you want to take it or not?"

"Ta-da!"

The girl reached for the card, but Jiang Wang snatched it back first, saying, "I'm just demonstrating. This is none of your business. Go back now."

The woman's face stiffened; she was getting angry, but dared not let it out.

You're such a damn stingy person. You're a rich kid, and you can't even part with 500,000 yuan.

It's not that Jiang Wang is stingy. He is indeed a rich second-generation, but he doesn't actually have that much money. His monthly allowance is fixed.

Unlike Yang Han, who works in his own company and wields real power, he is financially independent.

All the cars registered under Jiang Wang's name were purchased in the company's name and are not considered his own.

Most of the time, he got his money from Yang Han, and all his girlfriends were supported by Yang Han.

Jiang Wang also gave Qin Ce a lot of ideas, but they were all bad ideas and were completely useless against Qiao Xing.

If it were that simple, wouldn't he just reveal his identity?

You don't even need to spend money.

But Qin Ce vaguely felt that if he really did that, it would be a complete disaster.

People who don't have an emotional foundation can easily break up.

Qin Ce paused for a moment, then realized what he was thinking. His expression darkened, and he picked up the wine on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

The burning liquid slid down my throat, relieving the pent-up frustration that had been stuck there.

He put down his wine glass, stood up, and said, "I'm leaving now. You guys have fun."

"Hey, you're leaving as soon as you get here?" Yang Han grabbed his arm. "Big brother, I risked my life to carry Xiao Lin out here, are you just going to abandon me like this?"

"Then what else do you want?"

Yang Han, steeling her neck, blurted out, "You have to send it back to me at least, and cover for me!"

Qin Ce looked at him quietly, his eyes showing a hint of disdain.

Yang Han laughed irritably, "Don't look at me like that. Judging from your appearance tonight, you're not far from living the life I'm living!"

Qin Ce seemed to have heard a joke. He raised his chin and looked down at Qin Ce condescendingly: "Don't worry, this kind of thing will never happen to me."

"Really? We'll see. You'd better send me back right now!"

In the end, Qin Ce still sent him back.

When Xiao Lin saw that it was Qin Ce who brought him back, she didn't say anything. She simply nodded to Qin Ce to express her gratitude, "Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Qin."

"It's alright, take good care of him."

"I understand, then I won't see you off." Xiao Lin's face remained expressionless, but she glanced at Yang Han, who was pretending to be drunk on the sofa.

After Qin Ce left, Xiao Lin sat down next to Yang Han, arms crossed, and asked, "Still pretending?"

Yang Han froze. He cautiously opened his eyes and forced a smile that looked worse than a grimace. "Wife, I...I was wrong."

Xiao Lin turned her head to look at him, "You don't need to apologize. You can play if you want. There's no need to explain to me. I'm not interested in your affairs."

Hearing her lukewarm tone, Yang Han felt a surge of anger rising within him, and he jumped up from the sofa.

"No, you're not interested in this or that about me, so why did you marry me?"

Perhaps it was because of the alcohol that he became much bolder, and the resentment in his heart welled up and burst forth.

If Xiao Lin didn't always have a deadpan expression, would he go out drinking?

Xiao Lin replied matter-of-factly, "Of course it's for a political marriage, not for love."

"Even if it was an arranged marriage, we've been married for almost four years now, haven't we? Don't you really have any feelings for me at all?"

Xiao Lin looked at him coldly, "So you've developed feelings for me after spending all your time out partying?"

"I……"

Xiao Lin suddenly stood up and said, "Yang Han, if you feel wronged by this marriage, then I'll say it again: you can file for divorce anytime, and I'll handle things with your parents."

"you……"

Yang Han was speechless. Looking at his wife's cold gaze, he felt as if a cold wind had blown into his heart, freezing his soul.

After a long silence, Yang Han finally took her hand and said pitifully, "Wife, I was wrong. I was being a smart aleck. Please don't hold it against me. Be nice to me, I don't want to divorce you."

Xiao Lin said, "Yang Han, don't lie to yourself. Do you really like me? Isn't it just your male desire to conquer that's driving you?"

“Of course not!” Yang Han retorted.

"No, you are. If I greet you with a smile every day and devote all my attention to you, you will only find me annoying."

Yang Han hurriedly explained, "Don't talk nonsense, these are all your guesses."

"Really? You think I'm ignoring you, so you go out drinking to try and get my attention. If you really liked me, you wouldn't do something like that, regardless of whether I pay attention to you or not. You can't even show the most basic respect in our marriage. Do you still think this is just my guess?"

"Then I won't go anymore..." Yang Han suddenly felt guilty.

As Xiao Lin said, apart from appearing afraid of her, he didn't do anything substantial to show his affection, and his fear of Xiao Lin was only due to pressure from his parents.

To put it bluntly, he was just too lazy to put in the effort and too lazy to win Xiao Lin's heart.

Xiao Lin shook off his hand. "Whatever, I'm going to sleep."

Yang Han scratched his head in frustration, then collapsed onto the sofa, utterly annoyed.

Qiao Xing was still waiting for Qin Ce at home. She was worried that if he went to the company so late, it might be because Han Yan was looking for him.

Just then, Qin Ce returned.

He walked to the bedside, and without even taking off his clothes and shoes, he lay down next to Qiao Xing and hugged her in his arms.

Qiao Xing smelled the alcohol on him and frowned. "What's wrong with you?"
