Chapter 848 Husband?

Qiao Xing and Shen Boyan turned their heads at the same time. Qin Ce was wearing a black trench coat. He was tall and upright, and just by standing there, he exuded an aura of authority.

Qiao Xing was delighted to see him, but also a little guilty. "How did you get here so quickly?"

Even by car, it would take more than twenty minutes to get from home to the hospital. She had only been on the phone with Qin Ce for about ten minutes, so she didn't expect him to arrive so quickly.

Her words, however, were interpreted quite differently by Qin Ce.

He glanced at Shen Boyan with cold eyes, his tone carrying a hint of sarcasm, "What, did I interrupt your conversation with your colleague?"

Qin Ce emphasized the word "colleague" at the end.

Qiao Xing immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Shen Boyan's face remained expressionless. He merely exchanged a glance with Qin Ce before saying to Qiao Xing, "You rest first, I'm going back."

Just as I reached the door, the nurse from before came in again.

She was looking down and almost bumped into Shen Boyan.

She looked up and saw Shen Boyan. She immediately frowned. "Didn't I just tell you that you can't leave? Your wife is pregnant with your child. How can you, as her husband, not care at all? Do you know how much suffering a woman has to go through to give birth?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the ward fell into a deathly silence.

Shen Boyan pursed his lips and remained silent.

Qin Ce turned his head to look at Qiao Xing, a half-smile playing on his lips. "Husband?"

Qiao Xing felt a chill run down her spine from his laughter and quickly waved her hands, "No..."

Qin Ce snorted coldly, "As expected, it was me who disturbed you."

The nurse finally noticed that there was an extra person in the ward. She looked at Shen Boyan with some confusion, and then at Qin Ce.

She thought that Qiao Xing's husband was this handsome young man.

But this man in black seems to have a special relationship with Qiao Xing.

What exactly is the relationship between these three people? It's completely confusing her.

Shen Boyan didn't explain much. After glancing at Qiao Xing, he left the ward.

The nurse looked on with suspicion. Could it be that she had made a mistake?

To prevent the misunderstanding from escalating, Qiao Xing reluctantly explained to the nurse, "This is my husband; the one just now was my colleague."

The nurse was taken aback, then immediately gave an embarrassed smile. "Oh? I'm so sorry, I saw him here the whole time, and I thought he was my husband. I'm so sorry, I misunderstood you..."

The nurse apologized repeatedly, and Qiao Xing said, "It's okay."

She has only herself to blame; she should have explained things clearly from the beginning.

After the nurse left, the ward became much quieter.

Qin Ce pulled up a chair and sat down without saying a word.

Qiao Xing cautiously observed his expression. "Are you angry?"

"No."

What is there for him to be angry about?

She was only gone for a short while, and someone else took her husband's place.

It's normal for misunderstandings to occur.

He can understand.

Qin Ce didn't think he was jealous.

Otherwise, he would have already made a move when he saw Shen Boyan.

Qiao Xing completely took his words as irony; when someone said no, it meant there definitely was.

He is such a hypocritical man.

"Okay, it's my fault for not explaining clearly earlier, please don't be angry."

That's not what I want to hear.

Compared to what had just happened, Qin Ce was more concerned about something else.

Qiao Xing knew what Qin Ce meant. Knowing she was in the wrong, she pursed her lips, shrank her shoulders, and tried to play the victim.

Qin Ce narrowed his eyes. "I remember someone promised me something before."

Not only did she agree, but she also repeatedly assured Qin Ce that she could do it and would never let him worry.

But now she not only failed to do it, she also ended up in the hospital.

Qiao Xing felt so guilty that he didn't dare to speak.

Qin Ce said, "Are you trying to say you don't remember?"

Qiao Xing quickly shook her head, "Absolutely not."

"Then tell me." Qin Ce wasn't going to let Qiao Xing off the hook. "What did you promise me?"

Qiao Xing bit her lip and muttered softly, "I will take good care of myself and the child. I won't let anything happen to me because of work..."

Qin Ce frowned. "I didn't hear you clearly."

Qiao Xing was on the verge of tears, "I was really wrong."

"real?"

Qiao Xing nodded vigorously, "Really, really, this will never happen again."

Qin Ce was already quite sensitive about this matter, and he even caused a scene when he came in.

Qiao Xing felt that Qin Ce would definitely not be as tolerant of her as before.

Qin Ce glanced at the IV drip, estimating it would take a while longer, and said, "I forgive you. Sleep for a bit, and I'll take you home for dinner when it's over."

Qiao Xing was stunned, a little taken aback.

Did he forgive her?

Is it really that simple?

She thought Qin Ce would definitely be angry about this, but looking at him, he didn't seem angry at all.

Qin Ce looked at her and asked, "What's wrong? I said I forgive you, and you're still not happy?"

Qiao Xing was a little incredulous that he would be so agreeable. She tentatively asked, "You, you really don't mind?"

Qin Ce said quietly, "Do you think I should mind?"

"No!"

Qin Ce chuckled, "Alright, go to sleep."

Qiao Xing was feeling very uneasy.

Based on her understanding of Qin Ce, she knew that what happened today would not only make him angry, but he might also make her never go to work at the company again.

Before coming, Qiao Xing had made ample preparations.

She had already figured out how to persuade Qin Ce and how to stop him from getting angry.

But she never expected Qin Ce to have this attitude.

Qiao Xing tried to glean something from Qin Ce's expression, but Qin Ce remained completely calm.

Instead, they asked her, "Is there a problem?"

"No."

Qiao Xing simply decided to stop thinking about it. Since he wasn't angry, she wouldn't care anymore.

Perhaps because Qin Ce was watching over her, Qiao Xing felt sleepy shortly after lying down and fell asleep without realizing it.

She didn't know how much time had passed when she vaguely heard someone talking. When she opened her eyes, she saw the nurse standing by the bed, bending over.

The IV drip has finished, and the nurse is removing the needle.

After finishing, the nurse looked up and said to Qiao Xing with a smile, "Your husband is quite responsible. He's been watching over you the whole time. I knew it! How could someone as beautiful as you be with an irresponsible man?"

Qiao Xing twitched the corner of her mouth, thinking to herself, "Stop talking. From just now until now, all the misunderstandings have been caused by your mouth."

It was already dark outside when I left the hospital.

Qiao Xing slept for a while in the ward and now feels very energetic.

She suddenly seemed to remember something and turned to Qin Ce, asking, "You didn't tell Grandpa about my trip to the hospital, did you?"
